We were there last night - at the South Asian Super Model Awards Launch party. It was a really fun night, and we've started developing the second side of the chutney - called mychutney.com (nothing there yet!). This will be like myspace, and give models, musicians, and any kind of artist a space to promote themselves! Watch this space while we iron out things. We will also actively help people get noticed, get paid gigs, and so on - so it will be better than myspace ;-)

Heads up! Bollywood Chutney had a special invite to the London launch party of the Asian Supermodel Awards on 8th February @ Tiffin Bites! We'll be posting pictures, reviews and stuff about this event, happening later this year.

Bollywood Chutney asks, "How do you sell yourself to reach a Shilpa level?". It seems like Shilpa has no limits to her fickleness and droll efforts to be a hot muchacha. BC has gone all blue these days on people, because you know, it was Blue Monday and all that! Thankfully for us, this world doesn't turn around money, very far from it! Check out this hilarious extract from here:

I had long legs and had a great debut along with then-would be super stars, Shah Rukh and Kajol. To my credit, I too got noticed for my figure and got quite a few chances in the next few years. I never had an earth shattering career, but on the way, I got noticed by hoi polloi for my item numbers, jhatkas and some relationship blues with a co star. Thus I have had a noticeable career, if not a spectacular one. Then I moved on to some meaningful roles, tried my hand at that too. Then came the pause, gap that scares the wits out of performing artists.

But providence thought otherwise. British "Big Brother" beckoned me. I took a calculated risk. I had practically nothing to lose except may be some ennui, and had a good chance of getting noticed again albeit by a miniscule minority of TV watching, pop corn crushing, coke guzzling public.

Then after, what is now common public knowledge, I am happily back in the limelight. Now I realised, how much qualified I was. I was a star, I was a Bollywood star, the system which has maniacal following across the globe thanks to the ever expanding NRI base and the never exhausting market that is INDIA. I came to know that I symbolized the raising India, shining India and of course, that ubiquitous, omniscient and omnipotent phrase, that is a cover for our follies, blase excuse for the things we were not able to achieve -- INDIAN CULTURE. MY GOD?! I never knew this.

Now I am back in the groove. I am the toast of Buckingham palace, got more than a handful of awards for keeping the Indian cultural supremacy intact. I think, I got a doctorate from some university also, which is quite useful in making me, you know, "a beauty with brains"

Thanks to all this hooplah and hurraying, I have been getting good offers from quarters which turned blind eye to my "talents" before. I am happy, contented and sshhhh...rich too.

After all didn't I uphold the eternally great values that symbolize the Indian culture, which is so ancient yet so modern in outlook? Do I hear "Nobel Prize" somewhere?

(via IndiaTimes) International pop sensation Beyonce Knowles and Hollywood hunk-turned-Californian governor Arnold Schwarzenegger might not be the only ones adding Hollywood glitz in Sajid Nadiadwala’s forthcoming film Kambakth Ishq. The film also stars Bollywood’s lead pair Akshay Kumar and Kareena Kapoor.

In fact, if all goes well, Hollywood’s evergreen action star Sylvester Stallone might throw in a glittery cameo too. A source informs:

Sajid has already spun a casting coup by roping in Arnold Schwarzenegger and Beyonce in his film. And on his recent visit to Los Angeles, he was in talks with Sylvester Stallone too. Sajid is really keen that Sylvester does a cameo in his first international venture.

"Akshay plays a Hollywood stuntman in the film and will share screen space with Arnold in a couple of action sequences. Beyonce, on the other hand, has a sizzling bootylicious act in the film."

Prashant Shah, the line producer of the film in LA confirms, “Yes, we have received a letter from Arnold’s office and he has agreed to do the film. So has Beyonce. We are also looking at other big Hollywood names to join the already star-studded cast.”

Upon being contacted, Sajid Nadiadwala confirmed that talks were indeed on with Sylvester. “I’ve grown up watching the Rocky Balboa and Rambo series and it will be really great if he agrees to do a cameo in this film. Talks are on with Sylvester but nothing has been finalised yet. But, we’ll know soon,” he says. Kambakth Ishq is slated to go on the floors towards the end of the month. Reportedly, the film will star a total of nine Hollywood actors and will be shot in the exotic locales of Los Angeles.

Bollywood Chutney asks if "they vil be back" for another movie. A trend for the future? It depends on how much nakedness and muscle is involved, and how many cars exploding are scripted in the movie!
