Isn't there a difference between a celeb pontificating on a subject and a random Internet peep blowing hot air on the internet? A celeb is not a common person.. she gets adulation in spades as well as scrutiny in truck-loads. That's why they have responsibility to be politically correct and innocuously generic when they air their opinions. You don't air your ill-conceived thoughts with the wantonness of a general Joe. If you do, you only set yourself up for ridicule.. a consequence that we as nameless, faceless internet junta don't have to bear. It's like saying that my saying "Bush was a moron" and Obama saying "Bush was a moron" carries equal weight and relevance.
It would have been one thing if Vidya was somewhere in the same level with even the most modestly acclaimed fashion divas in India, leave alone of the world. But, when you yourself have the most egregious fashion sense possibly in the whole of Bollywood, pompous statements on the fashion sense of Gwyneth and JLo are not only laugh-worthy, they are downright ridiculous.
