Let me state at the outset: I love Jeremy Clarkson and his sense of humour. When British television is full of gay comedians pulling everyone’s legs in the hope of getting a few laughs or stand ups mouthing lines well thought out backstage to canned laughter, this guys is rip roaringly funny purely for being himself. One wouldn’t expect to be rolling along the aisles while watching a motoring show but that is what I seem to do most Sunday nights, when Top Gear is aired. Even my …

When did she get married recently? Ol’ Pammy? Was it like three and a half seconds back? Well, the WWW is full of ‘news’ that she is ready to call it quits already.
Apparently she and latest hubby, a.k.a serial social Paris Hilton’s sexmate, decided to go down the ‘irreconcilable differences’ route so dear to the Hollywood types. But for whatever reason decided to stop and rethink. “Sorting things out” is where they are at. Totting up who gets what for sure before they part ways for ever, is what I …

This is the song I cannot stop listening to at the moment. I didn’t quite like the earlier hit of hers – the chorus put me off. I know it exploded in the charts, yadda yadda, but it didn’t do it for me. But this one – the whole rock chick, bad girl, big ass attitude – keep talking, baby! The audio quality in the video is pants but the song so rocks when it is pumping out of an iPod.
Here’s Rihanna, with Shut Up and Drive.

In a country like ours, where movie stars enjoy venerated status, they are in a unique position to do something positive, something immensely good to the people, to actually make a change. Some adopt a cause and use their status to do great, charitable things. In some cases, though, their A-list status is enough to publicise a deed, be it good or bad. In that regard, a ‘star’ at the top of his (or her) reign, has to be ultra careful in making sure his movie choices cannot be misconstrued …

Ok, with this I confirm that I am a first class saddo but I cannot help it! BOYZONE ARE BACK! wahey!!
I know, I know, how childish can one get, yadda yadda yadda. I have always been a Pink Floyd, Eagles, Sting kinda mixed up music fan but mid-teens, I discovered the lads from Dublin. I loved their songs (well, most of them) and their website was so good that I made friends with some really fantastic folks from across the world. The site depended on its fans to keep track …

What a bummer of a weekend for England. First, the rugby team loses to the S.Africans at the World Cup. Then Lewis Hamilton, who gave F1 so much mileage, slipped on the last rung  and failed to become the first rookie to win the Championship.
The only winner this weekend is ITV – earnings are rumoured to top £16 million! Not bad I say.

When I first came across this above-mentioned statement, I thought it was a joke . A quick glance assured me that it wasn’t April Fool’s day or anything like that. And that was when I started laughing. Really laughing.
I mean, I have nothing against the kid. She’s pretty decent as far as actresses of today go and has made some good career decisions so far. She’s a household name in her native Tamil Nadu and neighbouring Andhra Pradesh, which is no mean feat for sure. But does that mean she …

There’s a message in this, am sure – Nicole Kidman, who made a life out of staying in Tom C’s shadows went on to achieve super stardom and even an Oscar once she split up with her hubby of almost ten years.

Now, Sarika, has gone and won a National Award for her role in Parzania.

Hmm, makes one think, doesn’t it?

A chance glance at an article posted on the doors of Murugan Idli Shop in Besant Nagar led to my discovery of Shruti Haasan and her awesome music. All I knew of her till that minute was that she was the firstborn of Kamal Haasan and Sarika. Till I logged onto her MySpace website and listened to a couple of her songs. That was a good few hours ago and since then, I have listened to her most of her songs at least a couple of times.
What strikes me most …

Was anyone shocked with the outcome of last night’s episode of The Apprentice? I was! I thought it would be an all-girl final like last year, between Kristina and Katie. Whilst I was hoping that Tre might get a look in, I never thought Scatterbrain Simon would make it. I most certainly did not even dream that Katie would get chosen for the final but would step down. With such a flimsy excuse too.
I mean, to say she cannot make the decision to move her family from Exeter to London …

The things you learn during your daily web trawl! I was just going through my daily fix of blogs when I came to know of this arresting fact: Miss USA took a toss down slippery catwalk as she sashayed down it, during the Miss Universe pageant. After the first couple of sniggers, watching the clip on YouTube, I decided to go a step further and see if I can come up with a few more.
I needn’t have worried my pretty head about it – the following came in the mix …
