Neha Dhupia "Bollywood Hero" Updates

Back in May I posted an entry about Bollywood actress Neha Dhupia being in an upcoming comedy miniseries titled "Bollywood Hero" for the Independent Film Channel starring Chris Kattan (Corky Romano).
Well from the looks of it, everyone else has caught up and announced it in the past few days...LOL

But the update part of this is that

1. Neha's character will be called "Lalima", and as Neha puts it herself, "My character is overbearing, typical Bollywood heroine who is known more for controversies than her acting skills."
"overbearing, typical Bollywood heroine"...that might not set too well with other Bollywood actresses!

2. The mini series will have cameos by Keanu Reeves and Drew Barrymore.

3. The show will be aired on IFC, an independent film channel from August 6 onwards.

And riding the hopefully good reviews of the mini series, Neha will have six movies coming out, "Paying Guest", "Pappu Can't Dance Sala", "Raftaar","Raat gayi baat gayi", "I'm 24" and "De Dhanadhan".

Mao Inoue

Lovely Japanese actress Mao Inoue was born on January 9, 1987 in Yokohama, Japan.
Mao has been acting since the age of five, but she got national attention in the TV drama Kids War in 1999.
She was cast as the star of the Japanese TV show Hana Yori Dango (based on the Japanese manga Boys Over Flowers) in 2005 which was very sucessful.
So succesful in fact that it lead to a sequel, Hana Yori Dango 2 in 2007.
And it didnt stop there, after Hana Yori Dango 2 aired, Hana Yori Dango Final was made as a movie.

Mao has appeared in over 40 TV dramas!
Add to this 5 movies, plus stage performances and you can see why Mao is so popular.

Bridget Regan / Kahlan Amnell / Legend of the Seeker

Legend of the Seeker is one of my guilty pleasures.
The reason I started watching it is because it's done by Sam Raimi and like just about everything he has ever done.
And I mean way before he did Spider-Man.
I know online a lot of people have a problem with the fact that the TV series has little in common with the books.
But I don't see how anyone could have a problem with Confessor Kahlan Amnell, as played by Bridget Regan.
(Okay, I was desperately looking for a segue there)

Kahlan is beautiful, poised, compassionate and can wield a sword or dagger with the best of them.
And she looks good doing it.

The lady that plays Kahlan is film, television and theater actress Bridget Regan.
Bridget has appeared in the films The Babysitters, Blinders, The Wedding Album and the Sex and the City movie.
On TV she has appeared in New Amsterdam, American Experience, Love Monkey and The Black Donnellys.
