Yum Freida Pinto in a Short SKIRT.. oh and look there is Dev Patel


Nothing like Freida Pinto pics to get us started back on the right foot..Even though she comes off as a superficial bitch, man does she look good in a skirt. Nice stems lady!! Dev, well, he seems like nice well-balanced guy. To me, this relationship is just for show, and so far very successfull at milking the Slum Dog success. They both are currently filming movies.. Dev Patel is featured in a movie called the Last Airbender, and she is stackin em up. Freida will be featured in a film called Miral with William Dafoe(the Legend himself), an untitled Woody Allen movie, and American Empire with Jeremy Piven. So they deservedly will both be working, now whether or not they sustain success is not going to be due to prolonging a fabricated relationship. But hey, I'm rooting for both of them.

Profesor Modi campaigning for Barack Obama




So what’s been up with our boy Kal Penn lately??? Well, he finished teaching a course at University of Pennsylvania called “Images of Asian Americans in the Media”. By the way, according to Wikipedia, Professor Modi which he required his students to call him was a bit of an anal professor. At least he finds ways to get respect. His movie roles have been laughable at best. Don’t get me wrong Harold and Kumar 1 and 2 were funny, but The Rise of Taj and his minor role in Epic Movie is pushing it a little too far. It’s starting to get repetitive. His best movie had to be Mira Nair’s the Namesake, and I doubt many non-Indians even saw it. Unfortunately, his next movie looks to follow the trend of his previous roles. It’s called Under New Management, and Kal plays an employee who sends his boss on a sex cruise, and follows it up by turning the office into party central. Hmm..let’s hope Kal starts getting some “more diverse” roles. Hey even an action movie would be a start,and he would be forced to get into shape. He should pick up some Independent roles, to change the perception of Hollywood; otherwise his career may very well soon enter oblivion.

Well aside from his illustrious movie career, Penn is campaining for Barack Obama. So far he’s been all over Virginia, rousing up crowds everywhere. Scarlett Johanson even quoted him as one of Obama’s Hollywood “heavy hitters”. He can definitely attract young voters, especially minority voters..so it’s not a bad deal for Barack at all. And I respect Penn’s passion, and hopefully it garners more positive attention, and consideration for serious movie roles.
