And so it ends...
..it's been all over the news, Jane Goody has been evicted from the Big Brother house after an 82% vote. Wow, you can't argue with that. She's going to be placed in a safe house for a week, I'm assuming that the Chan 4 people are thinking this will all pass within a week. Goody has lost product endorsement deals and other contracts due to her behavior on the show.
In an odd turn, a British Newspaper is giving away copies of Shetty's hit Phir Milenge, perhaps to spread goodwill ands say "Goodbye" to Jane? In a recent poll, 55% of Britons stated that Goody's comments did not reflect their own.
Post eviction, Goody's comments from the show were read back at her and she replied, "Oh my God, maybe I am racist...I look like a complete and utter nasty small person - the sort of person I don't like myself," but continued: "I am not a racist and I sincerely, with my hand on my heart, apologise to anyone I have offended out there."
Phir Milenge, Jane!
Sanjay Dutt to surrender today...
..today meaning 12/21 (those crazy time changes between here & India). Sanjay was convicted on Nov 28 & given 19 days to surrender. His bail was extended until Thursday 12/21. Dutt had pleaded for an extension so he could take care of some matters with his daughter's education. Sanjay could face up to 10 years in prison!
Hema Malini's complaint...
In a recent interview with the Mumbai Mirror, Malini complained about the limited roles available to be played by a woman her age. Hema is 58 years old and has been involved in over 130 Hindi language movies in the last 40 years. Her high point was the 70s-80s. It was during this time she was nicknamed "Dream Girl" after she starred in a movie with that name.
It's true - you really don't see more 'mature' women in a variety of roles - mostly just mothers or grandmothers. I mean, just look at Farida Jala. She's been an auntie, a nanny or a mother since the 80s. It must get boring after awhile.
Hema stated, "I keep myself engaged with other creative work and I don't need to do rubbish films." Go Hema! at 58, she still looks great. Must be all the dancing she does.
You can catch her in
Baabul which premiered in NYC this past weekend. I'm pretty certain she plays someone's mom in the flick. Whoops!
More on Obscenity Charge...
It has come out that a lawyer Shailendra Dwivedi filed the petition in Indore last week.
He said, "Bollywood actors are conveying vulgarity in the society...these films cannot be watched with our families, they are so vulgar at times."
Hrm, ok so go see Jaan-E-Maan instead, dude. The movie had a Parental Discretion warning.
I can't recall seeing anything offensive between the too of them. Why not complain about all of the screen time devoted to Bipasha Basu in a tiny bikini?
Aishwarya and Hritik obscenity?!?!
On December 11 Hritik Roshan and aishwarya Rai will have a hearing on obscenity charges originating from a scene in Dhoom II. The scene is allegedly "vulgar and derogatory to women". There is no further information regarding the scene.
Don't all of these movies have to pass a censor board? I'm a little confused. Maybe it's just a publicity stunt. Also, shouldn't Sanjay Gadhvi be on the hot seat since he directed the flick? The only obscene thing I saw in the movie was the god awful bandana wearing thug w/a bad weave "disguise" Hritik's character wore. Gross.
More Sanjay Dutt news...
Sanjay Dutt pleaded for a lenient sentence in court today - recounting the charity work he's done since 1995 when he was released from his 18 month prison sentence. Sanjay is currently out on bail, but could face up to 10 years in jail on the weapons charges. His sentence will be given early next year. Personally, I think he's sort of being used as a scapegoat here, why not use the time & energy to go after masterminds Dawood Ibrahim & Tiger Memon?
