Salman Khan,
Seriously. When will you grow up? You are in your 40's and yet you are the biggest "child" in all of Bollywood. All these years and you've never managed to have one stable relationship with a woman for any length of time. Doesn't this make you wonder why every woman you've dated, or had an affair with, has dumped you? You're barely hanging onto the current one. I won't hold my breath until Katrina marries you. Her career is doing really well while your last four films have bombed. And you expect her to give all that up for your sorry ass?
Your childish behavior, your drinking, your anger issues and your stupidity. I mean, really. What kind of hammerhead thinks it's a great idea to kill an endangered animal, not to mention one that is sacred to the people of that area? And now this moronic fight between you and Shah Rukh Khan, intentionally dividing up most of the Hindi movie industry because of your childish feelings got hurt. The truth is a bitch, isn't it? When it slaps you in the face, it hurts. If you can't face up to the stupid crap you have done in your life and at least take a "ribbing" for it, then you deserve to be treated like a child.
Phir bhi, here you are, declaring to the world that you'll never be SRK's friend again. How utterly filmi. SRK took the high road and only very briefly spoke about the feud while you stood up, beating your chest in outrage, practically rending your clothes in indignation, shouting about it to the world and making threats against SRK's staff. *yawn*
SRK said it best. He thinks like a father. You think like a child.
Do you want to really make people respect you again? Issue a public apology to the following people:
Aishwarya Rai Bachchan: this one should be done, kneeling in front of her, with your forehead on her feet, on live national television so the whole country can see it.
Shah Rukh Khan
Vivek Oberoi (Especially since Vivek publicly apologized to you...even bowed to you...and he did nothing wrong but date Aishwarya.)
Shahid Kapoor
John Abrahams
Rani Mukerji
Actually...wait. I don't really care if you ask for SRK's or anyone else's forgiveness. I'm sure the people in that list don't care either. They go on without you just fine. But you'll never be a man in the eyes of many women, worldwide, unless you confess how badly you treated Aishwarya and ask, publicly, for her forgiveness.
Until then, you are a just a gandu.

Aamir, Aamir, Aamir
Yaar, what ARE we going to do with you?
I have to admit. As big a Shah Rukh Khan fan that I am, Aamir Khan's blog post yesterday actually amused me more than angered me. Maybe I was in a forgiving mood. Maybe I could see the wicked humor behind it, or maybe I just wasn't in the mood to get so worked up over it (Aamir's March 13th post).
http://www.aamirkhan.com/blog.htm
Many in Bollywood are very offended by it. Website Bollywood Hungama has posted an article saying many in BW considered it a "megalomaniac's" vicious attack, and that Aamir is calling SRK a dog. I took it as Aamir just poking fun at SRK in good natured ribbing, but others haven't seen it so jovially. What matters to me is how SRK sees it. If he is offended, then Aamir has some explaining to do. I posted a comment to Aamir's blog asking him if he really just enjoys being involved in so much drama? Why else would someone write something like that in a public blog knowing full well what the result would be. And oooo, some of the comments to his blog were even more vicious than Aamir's post. Some bordered death threats!
But SRK himself has done some things that have offended people. He had to quickly personally and publicly apologize to Manoj Kumar for the jokes on him in "Om Shanti Om." SRK swears it wasn't mean in a mean spirit. It probably wasn't, which is why I'm giving Aamir the benefit of the doubt until his explains himself. Amitabh, too, recently had something in his blog that came across as a slam on SRK, but Amitabh said, in his next blog entry, that he did not mean it that way, nor was he going to belittle a colleague in his blog and it wasn't in his nature to do so. *shrug*
Aamir...yaar...ab chodo bhi.

Divya Bharati Remembered
I may have said it before, but I'm still very much a "newbie" to Bollywood, though my Indian friends are impressed with my knowledge. And every now and then, I'm reminded just how little I know.
Like tonight, for instance. I ran across a name I'd not heard before and, because of my curiosity for all things Bollywood, I had to know more.
I was going to bid on a magazine with Juhi Chawla on the cover on eBay, but was stunned by the asking price (the equivelant of $60 U.S.). Ridiculous, I said! I contacted the seller to ask why this magazine was so outrageously expensive. The reply was that it was one of the rare magazines that had an article with Divya Bharati.
WHO??
So I had to investigate. Wow, was I in for a shock. This young woman, who died at the age of 19, had, in only 3 years in films, made a deep mark on Bollywood to the point where, after her tragic death, producers were scrambling to find another like her. Her nickname was Baby Doll. While she was known for her sweet face and resembling greatly the legendary actress Sridevi, she was also known for being a little erratic, slightly out of control, and highly competitive. She was compared to Juhi Chawla, Kajol, and even Madhuri. Many people still believe that, had she lived, she would have been considered one of the greatest of all Hindi film actresses.
And in my investigation, I realized that I have one of her films in my library: "Deewana", which, despite being a Shah Rukh Khan fanatic, I've not gotten a chance to watch yet (I have a literal stack of films I've yet to see).
I'm struck by the tragedy of her death and what little I've read so far with regards to her and her life. She married secretly, without her family's blessing, to producer Sajid Nadiadwala ("Heyy Babyy"), changed her name to Sana and her religion to Muslim. The tragedy of her death was that she fell, 5 stories, from her husband's apartment, after drinking. Her death was deemed an accident, but due to the problems in her personal life, some questioned if her death wasn't murder.
Recently, with the movie "Om Shanti Om," some have question if Farah and SRK weren't, in some way, making a statement about Divya and her relationship with Sajid. There is a lot to compare to between Divya and the character Shantipriya. It's a question I'd love to pose to Farah or SRK.
Actually, in fact, I think I may have to pose this question to co-writer of OSO, Mushtaq Sheikh. I wouldn't be the least bit surprised if he hasn't been asked this question many times before.

Salman Khan - Oh Yes. I Have Issues.
All quiet on the BW front. Neither "Halla Bol" or "My Name Is Anthony Gonsalves" played locally so I didn't get to see either one (local theater that shows Indian films has opted to show Telugu films and while I have no problems seeing them, they don't have subtitles). But neither film seemed to have made much impact at the box office.
File this under either "Melody's Salman Khan Issues" or "He Can't POSSIBLY Believe This!" Out of the mouth of Salman Khan, with regards to his wax figure being placed at Madame Tussaud's in London next to Aishwarya's and SRK's, he feels he is the next deserving to be there and that his statue will be so hot, the other two will melt.
Personally, considering all the heartache and bullshit he has caused throughout his life, I'm surprised the man has any fans at all, especially female fans. Instead of realizing that he has anger/obsession issues which manifest themselves even more when alcohol is involved and he beats up women, women lash out at those women he has attacked, feeling they deserve it. NO WOMAN DESERVES TO BE HIT, NO MATTER WHAT COUNTRY YOU LIVE IN OR WHAT RELIGION YOU FOLLOW!
He has done FAR more damage and harm than Sanjay Dutt ever has, yet more people felt Sanjay Baba deserved prision time than Salman. The only way Salman Khan could ever redeem himself in my eyes is to a) kiss and rub his forehead on Aishwarya Rai's feet and beg for forgiveness for the pain, physical and mental, he caused her, b) donate an extensive amount of money towards animal and environmental organizations to help protect the endangered Black Bucks he decided to poach, c) donate an extensive amount of money towards organizations to help stop drunk driving and those families who have lost loved ones due to drunk drivers, and d) take a number of anger management and alcoholism classes. I would actually have a great deal of respect for him even if he only did the first one. Instead of Amitabh Bachchan pushing his bahu to make up with Salman, he should be requesting Salman to render his own apology. Publically.
