… when Jiah told Bachchan he smelt good and recognised the brand he was wearing, he brushed the compliment aside and thought it was mere guesswork.

But when the 19-year-old started rattling off brand names that Bachchan wore everyday, the superstar got a tad bit nervous and suspected that Jiah was going through his toiletries!

And then the mystery unfolded. Apparently, Jiah had done a short stint in a perfume factory and had a good nose for perfumes and could recognise any famous brand of perfume or cologne with just a sniff.

Jiah’s talent for spotting smelly things was never in question, was it? She picked a Ram Gopal Varma movie to debut, for chrissake.

She says Bachchan has an amazing collection of cologne and he would sport a new brand everyday during the shooting of Nishabd. [Link]

And why is this a big deal again? If I stunk half as much as Amitabh Bachchan did in Black, I would go out and buy myself a lot of cologne too. And yeah, I’d gladly let Jiah smell me.

“I have always craved for marriage,” Tuesday’s Hindustan Times newspaper quoted her as saying. “I’ve always been a home-lover despite living a very public life.” [Link]

And then, she sends a message to Aliens by talking to them in some sort of strange language that only they can understand.

“I believe all relationships you go through in life are actually a part of that cosmic design where love and marriage finally finds you,” she said. “I believe that will happen to me as well.” [Link]

I don’t know what she said there, but I think it worked, because Shah Rukh Khan signed her for his next movie. Don’t believe me still? Salman Khan is in that movie too. So there.

As Bhavana has a good reputation as a character artiste, Gopika has advised her to sustain that status. According to her, once an actress gets into the glamour tagline, it is very difficult to obtain good roles which have immense potential for performance.{Link}

Deja frickin’ Vu. This reminded me of a conversation I had with a fellow Stardonicator on the advantages of dating cheerleaders over supermodels. I told him the same thing, “Dude, once you get into the glamour tagline, it is difficult to obtain a good life which has immense potential for performance.” Then he and I burst out laughing and exchanged member passwords for naughtycheerleaders.com and sexysupermodels.com

While Namita and Vindhya lost their cell phones earlier, in a recent film event actor Srikanth was stripped off his gizmo… . While Namita and Vindhya lost their cell phones earlier, in a recent film event actor Srikanth was stripped off his gizmo. [Link]

[...] an expensive cell phone, which was reportedly worth Rs. 40 thousand. [Link]

We’ve heard rumors that crows have called up several people in Chennai pretending to be Srikanth and Namitha, and no one can tell the difference. When the next Namitha movie comes out, look carefully: if she seems to be acting better than usual, it is probably the crow you are looking at. And when the next Srikanth movie comes out … yeah, like that’s ever gonna happen.

When did the two of you first meet?

Sonu: Shankar is cool mind stroke person. [Link]

What in the name of God is that supposed to mean? That Shankar strokes his mind? And why would that be cool? That seems like such a dumb thing to do, stroking your mind. Aren’t there better things to stroke out there?

Shankar: You are very religious and superstitious, isn’t it?

Sonu: No. Spiritual is an exaggerated word. I am not superstitious. I believe in mind over matter. I think a lot. [Link]

Oh yeah, we all so totally get it man. You are just spewing out juvenile crap in the hopes that Angelina Jolie will adopt you, right? Don’t even bother, because I am told she’ll only consider actual children. And even if she relaxes the rule, she’ll pick John Abraham over you any day.

Shankar: Tell us about the Himalayas.

Sonu: [...] At one time, I heard the sound of some animals. I was not sure which animal… tiger, deer, snow leopard or a jackal. I kept a knife and spray in my hand for 30 minutes. After waiting for that animal, I realised that I felt the animal didn’t know I am a Sonu Nigam but his food. I realised that I was a piece of meat for him. It was a very important lesson of life. [Link]

If that’s the most important lesson you learnt, what were you up to in your zoology class, huh? That class where they taught you that tigers and deer and jackals make different types of sounds.

Shankar: Chicks are after you since then?

Sonu: I don’t trust chicks these days. These days, chicks are after everyone (laughs).

Chicks. I don’t know why, but that makes me want to go stroke my mind now. Hard.

Celina Jaitley spotted Raima Sen settling her luggage at the waiting lounge.

What followed was a reunion of sorts.

The pretty actresses literally jumped around like schoolgirls, indulging in some air kissing and hugging before heading for their respective destinations. [Link]

Whoa. What were these respective destinations? Who else went with them? How do I get there? Why are my eyes glazing over now? Dang.

“I was told to stay on and that my trophy would be sent to me at home. I sat through the rest of the function without knowing that my award had been given to someone else. I didn’t even know Soha got the award until a friend phoned to say so. It’s rather sad and funny,” said Kangana, who made an impressive debut with “Gangster – A Love Story” this year. [Link]

So when Kangana headed to Kuala Lumpur to receive her best actress award at GIFA, she was understandably worried. What if the organizers decided to give the award to Hrithik Roshan for Krrish instead? Thankfully, nothing of that sort happened, and an elated Kangana decided to hit on Hrithik instead.

After GIFA Kangana has become a huge fan of Hrithik Roshan. “In a world filled with dishonourable intentions Hrithik is such a thorough genteleman. He knows how to make a lady feel special. He spoke to me as if I was the best actress in the world.

I think his wife is very very lucky?Where can I find a husband like that?” sighs Kangana who has no one that special in her life. [Link]

And now, Kangana went to the Dubai Festival where she ran into Jesse Metcalfe, who is some type of male person, I think. And promptly enough,

Whispers Kangana, “I’ve had a secret crush on Jesse whose name I didn’t know. But like any 19-year old my heart would kip beats when he seduced Eva Longoria in Desperate Housewives. I’d wish he’d seduce me. And now there he was sitting right in the row in front of me at the premiere of Emilio Estavez’s new film Bobby…” [Link]

Damn, this girl is dangerous. Next time she heads to Florida, I’ll have to make an effort to stay out of sight. You guys will be ok though – most of you aren’t as handsome as me.

After completing their commitments for a private television channel for a new-year day programme, both Sneha and Sandhya were returning on the ECR in their car. Unfortunately Sandhya’s car got struck and it could not be moved. It was Sneha who rushed to Sandhya’s rescue. [Link]

“Auntyji, if you ever have a flat, give me a call. I got several tires I can spare,” a grateful Sandhya is reported to have said to Sneha before leaving.

“Remember when I acted in your movie? I acted so much in that role, you owe me big. Now please give my daughter a role, even though she can’t act. After ten movies, we’ll be even.”

If I know my math, there is still a lot of roles left to collect, especially from the producer of Kizhakku Cheemyile. Anyways, here is what happened yesterday:

Fire broke out in the house of actor Vijayakumar at Ekkaduthangal in Chennai on Tuesday. The actor was living in the house along with his son Arun Vijay, who got married recently.

Arun Vijay was the one who saw the billowing flames emanating from the bedroom in the first floor of the office. He immediately alerted Fire Service personnel.

Fire and Rescue Service personnel reached the spot and doused the fire. [Link]

Investigators can safely rule out members of Vijaykumar’s household as possible arsonists. They just aren’t that hot, plus Sridevi was probably shooting in Hyderabad…. On second thoughts, investigators should probably try to find out why the fire didn’t die by itself when it looked at Arun Vijay. I think there might be a Nobel in there somewhere.

Of course, I have a killer instinct. [Link]

Umm… I hate to rub it in, but I had known about this for a long, long time. As a matter of fact, I even know where she hides her killer instinct. It is hard to miss, once you know where to look.
