Did anyone happen to catch Jessica Biel as Jessica Rabbit on SNL this week?
If you didn't, here's a link to a video on YouTube.

Of course Jessica Biel (not Rabbit) is the real life girlfriend of Justin Timberlake.
And Jessica Rabbit (not Biel) was voted the sexiest ever cartoon character in a recent Cadbury's Dairy Milk poll.
Jessica came in first followed by Betty Boop in second place and the Cadbury Caramel Bunny (?) in third place.
The Bunny was in third place?
Sounds fixed to me...LOL

Jessica Rabbit was voiced by Kathleen Turner in the 1988 film "Who Framed Roger Rabbit?".
Appeared over 20 years ago and still has enough impact to be voted number one huh?

Chandni Chowk to China may have not done very well at the box office in India, but the film has netted Deepika Padukone a lot of good press in China.
Deepika has been nominated for Best Actress at the 33rd Hong Kong International Film Festival.
She is the first Indian actress to ever get this honor.

Chandni Chowk to China starred Akshay Kumar and Deepika Padukone in the lead roles with Hindi cinema veteran Mithun Chakraborty and Hong Kong action cinema veteran Gordon Liu in supporting roles.
The film was shot in China and in Bangkok, Thailand and it was distributed in the U.S. and co-produced by Warner Bros.
It was Warner Bros. first Hindi film.

The film got negative reviews by critics, but what struck me as unusual was that the fim was reviewed in the US by USA Today, Newsday, The Philadelphia Inquirer, Entertainment Weekly and the Chicago Tribune.
To me this testifies to the widening appeal of Bollywood films.

Sonam Kapoor News

Image Hosted by ImageShack.us

Sonam Kapoor was born on June 9, 1985 in Mumbai, Maharashtra, India.
She is an Indian actress who appears in Bollywood movies.

Considered by many to be a talented and upcoming actress, Sonam may have been in the right place at the right time.
She appeared with Abhishek Bachchan in Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra's Delhi-6.
The movie was released on February 20, 2009 and did well at the box office, but the film got generally mixed reception from the Indian critics.
However, after the Oscar performance of the Mumbai-set "Slumdog Millionaire" world critics have gotten behind the movie.
The Bollywood film was praised by the Los Angeles Times and the Village Voice in New York City.
Of course it hasn't hurt that the movies music was composed by Oscar winner A.R. Rahman.
And even better is the fact that Sonam's father Anil Kapoor was also in Slumdog Millionaire.

Sonam is now set to star in Anil Kapoor?s newest production, ?Ayesha?, an adaptation of Jane Austen?s novel ?Emma?.
