Rakhi Sawant will portray the role of a dumb bimbette who is all into fashion and gloss and has no clue about cricket. As in, she is going to be herself in this new Cricket show in the Television Channel, Filmy. The name will be Rakhee ke Bouncers. The coincidence sure is a sixer, but how much more obvious can they get? The show is going to be such a hit, the target audience can only be a guess and she is definitely on the way to becoming a possible choice for some insane director in Hollywood to cast the Indian essence in their movies.

It is showering weird couples in Bollywood. Ok, I made that up to start this entry, but the couple I am going to talk about is a little weird. Kareena and Shahid spend all their idle time watching American sitcoms. Lately, they have been hooked on to TV show, Prison Break. Seems every little spare time they get, they grab a DVD player and watch the damn show. Examples are plenty where the two are known to have been witnessed watching this for hours at end. This would not even pass for puppy love, for crying out loud!

How many of us like to be second fiddle to someone? Not many, I bet. Perizaad didn’t mind the honours recently when she signed up for Pritish Nandy’s movie Just Married. Reasons are varied. One, because she just got married, in real. And two, because the filmmaker was responsible for her first break and mega hit, Bollywood Calling where she played a freak actress with some gora dude. But personally, we could go with the conclusion that she didn’t want to sit idle at home after marriage and grow fat.

You are going to hear a lot on this for days to come until the main wedding date. So, might as well get used to the idea that we are going to take you step by step on the procedures of the Abhishek-Aishwarya wedding saga. Element of interest is not our concern as long as it is the two individuals in question. Their reputation has spoken so far and in some sadistic manner half the population is waiting to see the day they split rather than the day they unite.

Shahrukh Khan is going to endorse Radico's new liquor brand, Masterstroke Deluxe Whiskey. Everyone is aware of the man's smoking habits and with this new advertisement; he is sure going to need to grab his fans by their necks to consider him God still. He hasn't been doing very well with his talk show anyway. He has messed the whole setup, theme and personality that Amitabh Bachchan so conveniently brought to the scene. Trying to keep at heels with the Big B, Khan seems to be taking up anything and everything that comes his way.

Manisha Koirala has yet another love interest. If she signed the same number of movies as that of her boyfriends, she would have made a huge fortune and probably some more fame. The woman’s a pathetic mess and she has to start accepting it. The latest is an Australian bred desi dude, quarter her age and sniffing around for an entry into Bollywood. Quite apparently, she is not interested in the m or marriage and she is also comfortably open about the idea.

Marriages, commitments, engagements, all in the season. Some getting hooked, some getting hitched. So why should Sweta Keswani not do the same? And get engaged she did. To Alexx O’Neil, some big dude American BPO guy. It all happened suddenly and in haste because both the families got together and the obvious happened. The Sindhi (I am guessing because of the –ani) family must have coaxed the goras to take in the girl or scram from the nation. All said and done, they preponed their engagement very recently.

Aishwarya and Abhishek’s wedding dates are being steadied at the Bachchan residence. Everyone’s waiting on their heels for the event which is being compared to Prince Charles’ and Lady Diana’s wedding. And the location is but of course, Rajasthan. This year Rajasthan tourism is kicking in some excellent deals! First, Liz Hurley and Arun Nayar and now this one. Also, the location is being used by every filmmaker for their new movies. Haven’t I told this to you all before? Bollywood is ALL about following trends!

Kunal Kapoor does not like his long hair. Then why is he still having it? Because girls still love guys with long hair, why else! There is the new movie of his: Hat trick. As the name goes, it is a movie about cricket and got a bunch of old actors and Rimi Sen. If you looked really close, you could see some similarities between him and Dhoni. That could be the reason he was considered for the movie.

Dino Morea can act, people! So says even his producer. I mean, he will not be taken in any movie just for his looks any longer. He will be taken into a set, given two and a half hours to get drunk and then roll camera! Oh right. That’s the hitch, by the way. He can act, only after drinking. Seems he recently wanted to do some scene in some movie and he took his sweet time, got tully over the producer’s money (who would refuse free daaroo) and he did the scene. Supposedly the best scene of Dino’s up to date.

If they can do in movies, why cant they do it in advertisements; so sang the pretty men of Bollywood. With make-up laid on thick, muscles flexed out obvious and glances thrown at sharp, quite a few of our dudes from the drama have shown that in the end, it does matter what you wear inside. And that defines you as a man. Sanjay Dutt, Sunny Deol and Salman Khan did it. No, it’s not a ‘s’ initial fetish, because they have found the latest star that would knock you off!

For the last World Cup, India made this really nostalgic song with all of the Indian media figures and making every sore throat to sing. It gave us goose bumps and we sure did kick some ass until almost the end. So what if we didn’t get the cup, we won the most important match, didn’t we! This year, the craze is back and the film kingdom are not going to be sitting still. As in patent with Bollywood to hype up every year, this year has the dhamaka deal with (no applauding the right guesses) Bachchan saab.

How many Indian stars do we know who have met the Queen of England? Personally, I don’t have a clue. But, pretty sure too, that the count won’t exceed three. But Shilpa Shetty did. She got to meet the Queen and speak about issues like racism and AIDS at the Commonwealth meet recently. Many countries and its speakers attended the event with the Queen’s side kick in tow. Prince Philips was a silent observer, as his role describes.

Kareena Kapoor may be Carmen. “Maybe” - because the producers of Chamki Chameli are still thinking if it is a good idea to cast her. That is the name of Shyam Benegal’s new movie. The producer of the movie is Sanjay Dutt and so this is going to be a very serious movie where the actress has to be someone fresh; someone who hasn’t yet been in his vicinity. Not a fresh face to the industry, you know what I mean. And anyway, they have not been paired opposite each other yet, so this should be fun, especially so because she finds him real hot and all.

Mallika Sherawat is going to Hollywood now. Clint Eastwood (yes, you read right) is making a movie on a Muslim woman who’s got relationship issues. The protagonist revolves around someone who is extremely sexy from under her burkha and conventional otherwise. So who better to choose than the one woman who went sailing around the Far East flaunting every bit of her flesh, dangerously, flashing them. Good for her I would say, but there are a good lot of other Indian actresses other than Aishwarya Rai, Shilpa Shetty and Sherawat who should be given the chance to show off. I am speaking about genuine acting skills here, not just Barbie perfect statistics.
