Suleika is sexy as hell

Posted on 12 Dec 2009 at 12:13am

Suleika, how­ever you pro­nounce her name, is sexy as hell. I don’t really have much to say because I have a blunt wait­ing for me but I will say this, make sure you fol­low her on twit­ter and add her on myspace if you want to get in touch with her for any rea­son.  I can think of sev­eral rea­sons you would want to reach out to her.

Amer­i­can Idol vet Jim Ver­raros tied the knot with entre­pre­neur Bill Bren­nan on Sun­day (Sep­tem­ber 6) at the Oak Brook Hills Resort in Illinois.

Every lit­tle choice reflected who we are,” Jim told Peo­ple. “It was the most beau­ti­ful day. Gay mar­riage is not legal in Illi­nois but we wanted the day to be a reflec­tion of our love and com­mit­ment to each other as well as a state­ment to other gay cou­ples in Illinois.”

Jim, 26, fin­ished ninth on Idol’s first sea­son and met Bill four years ago on MySpace. For more on Jim and Bill’s spe­cial day, visit MyWedding.com.

Bollywood goes Social

Posted on 25 Aug 2009 at 12:01pm

As Bol­ly­wood attracts more and more fans world­wide, the inter­net pro­vides a once-in-a-lifetime chance of inter­act­ing with the biggest stars of the sil­ver screen. Be it Face­book, Blogs or the new craze of Twit­ter, the tech­nol­ogy in today’s day and age gives fans ample oppor­tu­ni­ties to per­son­ally inter­act with some of the biggest names in the business.

Twit­ter, the lat­est craze of the cyber world, is some­what dif­fer­ent to it’s coun­ter­parts in that it doesn’t boast any add-on appli­ca­tions and nei­ther does it attract the abil­ity to “add” friends in the same way as Face­book or MySpace. Twit­ter sim­ply asks the ques­tion “What are you doing?” The answer can be as sim­ple or as com­pli­cated as the Twit­terer desires… and if the Twit­terer is some­one from the Bol­ly­wood fra­ter­nity, no doubt eager fans will grab the chance to fol­low him/her.

Cur­rently, famous Bol­ly­wood celebs tweet­ing include Priyanka Chopra and Mallika Sher­awat - the lat­ter being the first Bol­ly­wood celebrity to be invited to the Twit­ter head­quar­ters in San Fran­cisco. The actress’s deci­sion to join Twit­ter came when she was busy build­ing bonds and strength­en­ing ties in Hol­ly­wood, but at the same time miss­ing her fans back home. Twit­ters abil­ity to send mes­sages to hun­dreds of peo­ple so eas­ily and so promptly proved itself to be the per­fect way to keep in con­tact with all her admir­ers. Sher­awat boasts no less than 13,000 followers.

In a sim­i­lar way, recent IIFA award win­ner Priyanka Chopra joined the pop­u­lar social net­work­ing site in order to inter­act with her fans world­wide. The 27-year-old used Twit­ter as an oppor­tu­nity to pro­mote her forth­com­ing flick, Kaminey. Her recent tweets include her shock at the news of Shahrukh Khan being detained at a U.S air­port. Chopra has become one of the most pop­u­lar and reg­u­lar posters on the site.

On the flip side, Shahid Kapoor’s expe­ri­ences with Twit­ter aren’t quite as pos­i­tive. Over 3000 fol­low­ers were over­whelmed by what they thought to be Kapoor’s tweets but to their dis­ap­point­ment, the tweets weren’t the real deal. Unfor­tu­nately, the actor has not yet reg­is­tered on Twit­ter and the imi­ta­tion of him was being dealt with by his man­age­ment team.

In the same way, an increas­ing num­ber of pro­duc­ers and actors are using Face­book to pro­mote their forth­com­ing films and also receive feed­back from early pub­lic­ity. The Delhi 6 team made use of the site to give fans a chance to see exclu­sive footage and inter­act with the direc­tor, Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra. Face­book users were able to post ques­tions to be answered by the man himself.

It seems Bol­ly­wood is also able to start its pub­lic­ity for a given film ear­lier than the norm with the help of the inter­net. A per­fect exam­ple is the cur­rent pub­lic­ity “cam­paign” for Dharma Production’s immi­nent flick “Wake up Sid”. Ran­bir Kapoor plays Sid Mehra who, at present, has an account on Face­book… yes that’s right, the mak­ers have inno­v­a­tively cre­ated an account for the char­ac­ter in the film. Fel­low Face­books users are able to add “Sid Mehra” as a friend and inter­act with who is believed to be Ran­bir Kapoor him­self. Although it does seem far-fetched that it really is the Kapoor hunk behind the account, it seems the idea has sub­stance yet as it enables fans to get to know the char­ac­ter of the film over a good few months prior to the movie’s release.

Blogs are also a great way for fans to feel “in-tune” with their favourite stars. Blog­ging has become more of a phe­nom­e­non in Bol­ly­wood as a result of Aamir Khan and Amitabh Bachchan. The lat­ter writes, on the whole, on a daily basis and receives hun­dreds of com­ments for fans per blog entry. He also refers his fans his “extended fam­ily” and, on rare occa­sions, he is seen to respond to indi­vid­ual com­ments. Big B has high­lighted that blogs are a great way for celebri­ties to con­vey their real feel­ings to their well-wishers and, in a refresh­ing way, open up their per­sonal lives to mil­lions of fans nationwide.

Post Slum­dog Mil­lion­aire, it seems the world really is Bollywood’s oys­ter. With tech­nol­ogy on side, the way in which films are pro­moted is now chang­ing. Tak­ing advan­tage of today’s social media is inex­pen­sive and par­tic­u­larly effec­tive in lur­ing in the mass younger audi­ences. Bol­ly­wood sees this, and seems to be firmly onboard the social and tech­no­log­i­cal bandwagon.

Funny People with MySpace Violates Facebook

Posted on 06 Aug 2009 at 11:57am

Funny Peo­ple, star­ring Adam San­dler, Seth Rogen and MySpace is out and it’s clear that MySpace is on the offen­sive and doing unspeak­able things to any ori­fice that Face­book might have. Sure, the whole premise of the movie reminds us of Tom HanksPunch­line, where Adam is Tom and Seth is his pro­tégé (aka Sally Field), but it’s for today’s audi­ence, which will become abun­dantly clear after you watch the clip at the end of this post.

The June num­bers are in over at com­Score, which means it’s time for us to share with you the vast num­ber of users on Twitter.com (these fig­ures exclude those who use Twit­ter apps to make their Tweets). So, in June, Twit­ter attracted 7 mil­lion new users and had 44.5 mil­lion unique vis­i­tors, mak­ing it the 52nd largest site in the world. Still, we have to won­der if Twit­ter is a fad like Katy Perry. Will it be here today and gone tomor­row? Or is it some­thing that’s here for the long haul? Weigh in and post a response, we’d like to know your thoughts since most of you are likely using Twitter.

Like we’ve been say­ing for weeks now, Google is plot­ting for world dom­i­na­tion — what with Google Chrome and Google Chrome OS. Now, Google has pub­licly declared war with a new cam­paign that’s clearly tar­geted at Microsoft Office. The cam­paign is called Go Google and the pub­lic will soon be exposed to a num­ber of bill­boards (located in San Fran­cisco, New York, Chicago, and Boston) and Twit­ter attacks encour­ag­ing the adop­tion of Google apps. Google is boast­ing about the num­ber of busi­nesses, schools and other orga­ni­za­tions that have con­verted to Google apps (1.75 mil­lion) and wants you to help spread the word — all this sounds a bit too much like Chris­tian­ity, which can only mean that Google is the new religion.
