Poor mites

desigirl | March 7, 2008

Meet Cruz Beckham,3, youngest son of David and Victoria Beckham. He wore this outfit to his older brother’s birthday party and ended up upstaging everyone assembled, got his pix splashed on the front page of the glossies, and gave a 50% boost to the sale of such outfits. Impressive, eh?

Did I forget to mention that other guests to this 9th birthday party were Heidi Klum and Eva Longoria. Now, I needn’t say anything about the need for normalcy in a child’s life and how the parent’s blatant greed for publicity may well harm the child’s psyche, right?

Something priceless!

desigirl | February 15, 2008

God Bless you New York Times for pointing me in the direction of this gem. This girl gives Jade Goody a run for her money and that is saying something! Let me stop yammering and just let you enjoy the show. And give yourself a pat on the back for not being half, quarter, heck the teensiest bit dumb as this chick.

Priceless people, I tell ya.

R.I.P Heath Ledger

desigirl | January 24, 2008

 
I flicked open yesterday’s Metro on the way to my morning train and was shocked big time to see news of Heath Ledger’s death. What a tragedy! I thought he was fantastic in Brokeback Mountain and was really looking forward to Dark Knight. What a waste!

The Great Indian Moral Police

desigirl | January 17, 2008

What a busy life it must be, to lead the life of the Indian Moral Police? Never a dull moment in their life, putting out moral fires in every corner of the town, saving the innocent public from the amohttp://im.sify.com/entertainment/movies/images/jan2008/sriyafunction200.jpgral denizens that are out to besmirch the Indian Culture and the rest of it. They have barely sat down after the Shilpa Shetty kissy kissy fiasco, only to bounce up over Shriya’s dress (or lack of) sense.

Actress Shriya, who played Rajini’s love interest in his hit film Sivaji, has offended the sensibilities of the moral junta by wearing a ’skimpy outfit’. She has made the conservative heart of Chennai nearly stop by daring to appear in an “off-white dress that rode up her knees while she sat, and a plunging neckline that highlighted her hour glass figure”, that too at a function graced by the Chief Minister Karunanidhi. What a hussy!

Instead of setting an effigy of hers on fire or blowing up a few buses like they normally do, this time they actually resorted to the law! Quelle Surprise! The Hindu Makkal Katchi actually complained to the police that Shriya has offended the Hindu culture and may the long of the arm reach out, grab her and throw her in the slammer? Even more gaspably, the police declined the invitation saying it ain’t part of their job description!!

How can one make these up? Only in India, I tell ya!

Ragasiya Kanavugal from Bheema

desigirl | January 16, 2008

I am a big time fan of Vikram. Having met him once early in his career, soon after his first hit Sethu, I was so charmed by his wit and manners than I have been a staunch fan since. Obviously, then, I have been looking forward to his next release Bheema, after a two-year hiatus.

I got my hands on the songs as soon as they were released and though I felt that Harris Jeyraj has dealt a winner this time around too, I cannot say I am overly pleased with the music directors’ penchant for making non-Tamil singers sing songs in Tamil movies. The song Ragasiya Kanavugal is a case in point. The female singer, instead of singing “azhagiya mirugam” (beautiful beast), sounds like she’s saying “azhugiya mirugam” (rotten beast).

Listen to it yourself and tell me if you agree or not.
