Hope,u had fun.

The chainsmokers ,Taggart is a hot by a f**king jerk.Reminds of those faggart I have chased after .The whole Halsey and him going through boobs was cringeworthy on MTV.Who cares about Hollywood ?Latino music is the new rage and they are so smooth.Maluma,and Fonsi are so much better.Maluma coming here soon.I mean when Maluma talks it's like hasish ,so smooth .Can seduce even amobea.Love Latin Music esp.Maluma. 😳

Men Latin men are so sexy.Their voice is sex sex.Daddy Yankee ,Gasolina etc..Latin music .

More than Farah's kids, I think she invited him for herself. 😆😆

Concert was good, Peanuts. Sheeran sings well live, which is more than you can say for a lot of artists.

Maluma and Fonsi- True. My kinda music.

Wish they made Sheeran dance to Ghoomar for more laughs. Of course, "Sweety Tera Drama" was equally funny.

He tried to prove that he can dance with his thinking out loud video but I am not convinced.😛 He's the stereotypical white guy with no sense of rhythm.

Since you brought up KJo, I think he is another person from BW who does not worship HW celebs apart from Khans. I recall on a KWK episode, he and Mahesh Bhatt mocked ppl who salivate over the Oscars LOL😆

I don't know about now but there was a time when KJo was just as embarrassing. I remember he had Richard Gere on his KWK show and his tone throughout was like a little boy looking for validation from a superior being. Including trying to push him to watch KKHH and DDLJ claiming they were the best Hindi movies ever made or some such spiel 😆

Well in this case Ed Sheeran actually knew them from before. Abhishek had thrown a party for him 2 year ago and met these people there. Farah has known him for a few years.

Also guys, HW people do throw parties for Indian actors as well. Like a couple months ago, Brett Ratner had thrown a party for SRK when he was in town for a film festival. It has actually happened at least a few times that I can recall.

It's just that their media doesn't really report on it since they don't really know Indian actors and even in general, the gossip press is focused on people like the Kardashians, not others. Like how often do you hear about personal stuff regarding people like Tom Hanks? Tabloid fodder there are only a few starlet types, not everyone.

I've seen that episode and I think KJo was just trying to show off his films more than anything, lol.😆 He even showed a clip of KANK to Richard Gere, if I recall correctly. But I didn't sense any inferiority complex in him cuz his conduct didn't suggest that he felt Richard or HW was superior to Bollywood and it's actors. Unlike here, where the celebs are all pathetically fawning over Ed. Have only seen KJo fawning over Sridevi and SRK, TBH.😆

We point this out when our own faves give the event a miss or don't get an invitation.

Koffee with Hugh Jackman

By the time you're reading this, Hollywood star Hugh Jackman would already be in Mumbai where he's attending the Ficci Frames entertainment conclave on Friday. He'll share the stage with Shah Rukh Khan to discuss themes like crossover cinema and the Hollywood dream, on a panel moderated by Karan Johar.

It is Johar who's been instrumental in bringing Jackman down through 20th Century Fox, the studio with which both Johar and Jackman share good relations. The director is keen to have the Wolverine star appear on an episode of his talk show Koffee With Karan, but Jackman's time in India is limited. He will, however, show up at Shah Rukh's Bandra home for a party the Bollywood star is said to be throwing in his honour.

Aishwarya Rai, Bollywood's go-to-girl for Hollywood star-hospitality, has been roped in to present a memento to Jackman at the seminar earlier in the day. It's a job they remember her for each time a Hollywood actor descends on our shores. At the GQ awards last year, she was seated at John Travolta's table and was asked to present him a trophy. At a Bollywood awards show some years ago, she was asked to introduce visiting sensation Will Smith. The scenario is akin to pulling out your finest crockery when important guests visit.

Not so accurate.

I had pointed this out when Oprah had come as well. And Ash was invited there.

Oprah had said she had never taken so many selfies in her life as she did in that Bollywood party. Felt second hand embarrassment for BW then. Still feel the same. Doesn't have anything to do with my faves. Don't read too much into it.

Hrithik Roshan Insulted by Hollywood Actor in London!

Monday, 30 June 2014

Find out how Hrithik Roshan reacted

Read more about Hrithik Roshan

Hrithik Roshan is known for his decorum and conduct in public and recently he proved he was a cut above the rest. Recently, Hrithik and Jeremy Piven (who plays the title role in the series Mr. Selfridge) were at Heathrow Airport, London. Hrithik came to Jeremy's aid when the latter lost his passport. Instead of being thankful, Jeremy, who did not recognize the green-eyed actor, allegedly insulted him in public.

An eyewitness says, "Jeremy misplaced his passport at London airport and was kicking up a fuss. Hrithik, who saw this, stepped in to help sort the situation. The staff at British Airways didn't know who the LA-based TV actor was and were getting annoyed with his tantrums.

A source close to the actor confirms, "Jeremy was getting more and more agitated and what irked him further, was that he wasn't getting star treatment. When Hrithik stepped in to help, Jeremy assumed he was a fan trying to get his attention and got rude with him saying, Not now man. Leave me alone'.

When Hrithik tried to help again, this time, Jeremy yelled and uttered an expletive. Yet Hrithik kept his cool and found a solution to the problem, requesting one of the staff members attending to him, to help Piven.

^I think Piven is known to be a jerk. 😆

Not everyone from HW is like that. A lot of them actually do know BW actors and meet up sometimes. A lot of studio heads also have professional relationships with some of the bigger BW stars.

Mainstream white people don't know BW actors but that's a separate thing. Many of the actual players in the industry do know them.

The problem with Bollywood actors is that they don't seem to know their worth when faced with Hollywood celebs.

They are always mourning with Hollywood when something happen but you don't see them react the same way when a fellow indian figure in cinema dies and that this person isn't part of Bollywood.

Likewise, Hrithik who -being a big star- is a well-known face tried halping a B-list Hollywood actor and you can't see how he was rewarded (see post above), I doubt he'd have done the same if it was some B-list indian actor...

Deepika who is one of the biggest female star in Bollywood went to Hollywood to play 4rth fiddle in a multistarrer B-list movie...

When Justin Bieber went to India, Bollywood celebs acted as if it was some big red carpeted event. Seeing them, I had to do a double take wondering if they wanted to emulated the MET gala...

When Coldplay went to India, the creme de la creme of Bollywood was fawning all over him as if he was some God. Granted, people can fangirl/fanboy all they want about a celeb but they can do so while safeguarding their selfrespect.

Another thing. How is it that when a Hollywood celeb comes to India, Bollywood receive them as if they were the Queen or something? And why is that that Hollywood celebs don't return the favor when a Bollywood celeb goes in the States??

As long as Bollywood celebs won't respect themselves, their work and its content, they won't be getting it from anyone else.

That's why Bollywood is taking one hell of a nosedive when it comes to the quality of their movies. They try to emulate Hollywood instead of doing their own thing. When you imitate someone you won't ever be able to become n1 while if you do your own thing, then you'll be the best at whatever you're doing.
