Sexiest Bollywood Actresses of 2008!

Bollywood Actresses
Presenting the countdown of the sexiest Bollywood actresses of 2008. Women like Amisha Patel, Minissha Lamba, Kareena Kapoor and Priyanka Chopra shed a lot of weight to become slim and slender, because the producers of their films wanted the girls to be slimmer(it is another thing that films most of them starred in, had scripts slimmer than their bodies). Nevertheless, the slim and athletic look was the trend setter this year.

10. Sonal Chauhan in Jannat: The sexier version of Amrita Rao, Sonal Chauhan looked lissome, lithe and leggy in her debut film. Lucky boy Emran Hashmi however had did not get much to kiss as the sultry Sonal Chauhan played too cool to love and too hot to kiss in Jannat.

9. Mughda Godse in Fashion: Fashion had more style and less substance going for in. The tall and slender Mughda Godse vowed the audience with her sexy, traffic stopping presence. Making her debut in Bollywood, Mughda was one female who looked really comfortable in her dress and skin. And yes, we love her confidence!

8. Mallika Sherawat in Ugly aur Pagli: Mallika Sherawat was dressed(shocking!) throughout Ugly aur Pagli. She revealed her awesome contours and curves in one of the songs and that mattered more than enough to get an eyesome in the plotless stupid Ugly aur Pagli.

7. Amisha Patel in Thoda Pyaar Thoda Magic: The normally voluptuous Amisha Patel shed her clothes to show off that even she has a toned midriff in Thoda Pyaar Thoda Magic. Though the movie disappeared faster than Amisha Patel could say "yellow, main aa gayee", Amisha Patel look hot enough to spend some 'lazy lamhe' with.

6. Minissha Lamba in Kidnap: Minissha Lamba revealed two things in Kidnap: hot cleavage and cool attitude. But both could not salvage the insipid movie Kidnap. However we were left panting for more as Minissha seduced the audiences with those skimpy outfits.

5. Shilpa Shetty in Dostana: Easily the woman with the best figure in Bollywood, Shilpa Shetty's yoga bound sexy body looked 'wow-some' as she sizzled in the opening number of Dostana. All we can say is Shut up and Drool!

What about the remaining top 5? For the creamy, tantalizing top 5 sexiest actress of Bollywood 2008, go to my blog below.

Advantages and Disadvantages of Plastic Surgery

Disadvantage of plastic surgery
When it comes to the advantages and disadvantages of plastic surgery, you really have to look in more depth on the specific procedure you plan on having done. Although each possible procedure has its own list of pros and cons associated with it, they can all be generalized for simplicity. The biggest disadvantages associated with plastic surgery are the risks as well as the price tag, however when compared to the benefits, these will usually outweigh the disadvantages of plastic surgery. For starters, whether you are having a reconstructive procedure or a cosmetic procedure, the goal is to make yourself look better.

While some people who decide to undergo the knife may already look great, there are many others who have been teased and taunted their entire life about their features. Not only do years of teasing and taunting take their toll on a person's emotional well being, but a person who does not like something about themselves will also cause an emotional scar. Since who we are has a lot to do with our emotions, then it is safe to say that even the smallest procedure that effects our self esteem in a positive manor can outwardly make you seen as a whole new person. Isn't it what it is all about, changing ourselves so not only we look better, but feel better as well?

The obvious risks associated with plastic surgery are the possibilities of not only having a complication, but also receiving bad work. No wants to pay a substantial amount of money to end up looking worse than before they went in for the procedure. On top of this, there is also no one who wants to pay to have a procedure dine just so they can have nerves damaged.

In order to better understand the advantages and disadvantages of plastic surgery, you really have to talk with the surgeon who will be in charge of your procedure so that he or she can better explain the risks. It is also important that you are as well informed as you can be in case you have to make a decision as it is better to make an informed decision rather than a guess.

Dr. Jim Greene would like to provide you more in depth information that will help you make a sound decision regarding:

Obama's State-of-the-Union Address: Five Ways to Judge Its Success

Obama's State-of-the-Union Address
Giving a transformational presidential speech while trapped in politically toxic quicksand is no easy task. And as he mounts the rostrum in the House of Representatives' chamber Wednesday night, the forces arrayed against Barack Obama - both real and those conjured by the politico-media maelstrom - are fierce.

Liberals (in the blogosphere, at the grassroots, and in Congress) complain that the President is a spineless, incompetent quitter. Conservatives (on Fox News Channel and talk radio, at Tea Party confabs, and in Congress) insist he is a panicky, on-the-run liberal. The Old Media sputters that he is a flailing, directionless Jimmy Carter redux. (See pictures of President Obama's first year in office.)

In just over a year, Obama has gone from a hopemonger destined to change America and revitalize the Democratic Party to a foundering President - from a man determined to bring America's best values to a capital gone bad to a man who has reinforced everything the country hates about government and politics.

Although Obama has a history of using big speeches to spark or recalibrate his fortunes (the Democratic convention keynote in Boston in 2004, his 2007 Iowa Jefferson-Jackson Dinner speech, his race oration prompted by the controversy surrounding Chicago pastor Jeremiah Wright), no realistic appraiser of Obama's looming State of the Union believes he can turn everything around with one primetime address. (See TIME's special report on Obama's first year.)

Obama's task is particularly tough because, even before he has finished speaking to tens of millions of Americans, the media filter, both Old and New, will jump in to sift, analyze and reshape his message. For a weakened president, this is both a nuisance and a danger.

Still, the White House is guaranteed about an hour tonight with all eyes on its star at center stage, when the commander-in-chief can tower over his opponents. If there is to be an Obama comeback in early 2010, it begins Wednesday night. Here are the five metrics and tea leaves that will determine success or failure:

1. How big is the audience?
If fewer Americans than usual tune in to the address on TV, it suggests the country has tuned out the President. The West Wing has to hope that the nation is still interested in what their (relatively) new leader has to say. (See the top 10 sound bites by Obama.)

2. Does the press focus exclusively on process?
The media is consumed with a proverbial turning-of-the-page, the tension between the White House and Democrats on Capitol Hill, and the perils-of-Barack drama. Obama has to get the post-speech coverage to evaluate the substance of his proposals and his thematic vision of the country, rather than just his droopy poll numbers and the loss of that Massachusetts Senate seat.

3. Do Republicans clap?
Liberals and some White House aides have given up on ever getting meaningful cooperation from the opposition party on a legislative agenda. Obama doesn't have that luxury. GOPers will not like much of what the President says - and they smell both blood in the water and victory in November's midterm elections. But Obama has to find some areas of common ground to renew his campaign pledge to reduce the partisan bitterness and lack of cooperation that has come to dominate Washington and the nation's politics.

4. Can he find the right tone?
How Obama needs to come off: optimistic, confident, resolute, gracious. What he has to avoid seeming: defensive, negative, churlish, sarcastic. Behind the scenes, Obama has been evincing some frustration with the media coverage of his first year in office; like most Presidents, he doesn't think he is getting enough credit for his hard work, nor enough patience for evolving efforts. But 2010 needs to be about the future, not the grievances of the past - and that includes an end to blaming the Bush Administration for the problems Obama inherited.

5. Can he balance continuity versus change?
Presidential aides have been talking about going back to "first principles," the basic themes and programs that helped Obama get elected and animated his decision to run for President in the first place. At the same time, both substantively and symbolically, the press and many voters are going to expect Obama to demonstrate an awareness that his presidency is somewhat off course. Finding a way to stay faithful to both memes is as essential as it is tricky.

Kareena Kapoor Signed New Film of Rs 7 crore



Kareena Kapoor has been signed for a whopping Rs 7 crore by Shree Ashtavinayak Cine Vision Ltd for their next, Golmaal 3, directed by Rohit Shetty. A source says, �Kareena hasn�t given any hit last year except 3 Idiots and has raised many eyebrows for being signed for the exorbitant amount.

While Bollywood actors are slashing their prices to cope with the recession, it is surprising how much the industry is paying the actresses. Even A-list actors are not being offered such a huge amount.�

It is learnt that Kareena will be the only heroine in the film as she has made it very clear that she does not want to work in multi-heroine projects. And why not? After the success of Jab We Met and the critical acclaim she received, Kareena�s career graph rose.

Reportedly she was paid Rs 2.5 crore for Kambakkht Ishq and little more for Golmaal 2 . The source continues, �After Golmaal 2 proved to be a hit, director Rohit Shetty only wanted Kareena in the film and convinced the producers to sign her. Moreover, the Kapoor lass has never been a part of sequels, so to make her sign this film, she was offered and signed for a huge amount.

�Fashion� Movie Websit Has Been Hacked


The team of Madhur Bhandarkar�s �Fashion� has landed in some serious trouble there! A porn website has hacked the official website of the Priyanka Chopra starrer superhit flick �Fashion�.

Well, the film�s official website was originally created for the promotion of the movie. And now, the hacked website is accessible through the official website of UTV films and claims, �All materials advertised on the site are completely legal and contain role-playing fantasy only.�

However, the link directs you the explicit porn site, which further leads to other triple-X sites. Completely shocked by the news, Bhandarkar told a news daily, �It�s news to me, I will definitely scrutinise this issue and will check with the UTV people too.�

A Brief History: Same-Sex Marriage in California and Prop 8

So, are you mystified about the state of same-sex marriage in California? At first glance it looks easy. On one side, you�ve got your proponents of same-sex marriage: Advocacy groups like the ACLU; big corporations like Google; and Americans everywhere who think that other people�s romantic lives are none of their business. And on the other side you�ve got rich Mormons, Carrie Prejean, and people who think that marriage is a totally sacred institution that�s always been treated with the utmost respect throughout all of human history and nobody ever gets divorced and Ted Haggard was FRAMED dammit.

But look a little closer, and you�ll find that California has a weird and complex relationship with same-sex marriage, and that proponents of �opposite marriage,� as the eminent Ms. Prejean has termed it, have had quite a fight on their hands when it comes to preserving their way of life, which by the way is honorable and traditional and totally without any problems. Also whenever gay people get married God gives a kitten pancreatic cancer.

Sorry. My point is that the recent history of marriage in California is a bit of a labyrinth, and if you�re going to try to understand the case that began in court last week � Perry v. Schwarzenegger � you�re going to have to learn a little history.

So here it is.

1977
The California State Assembly amends language in state law to ensure that marriage may only exist between a man and a woman. But ambiguity in the law allows same-sex marriages performed in other states to be recognized here.

November 2000
Caifornia voters pass Proposition 22, which prohibits the state from recognizing same-sex marriages.

February � March 2004
San Francisco Mayor Gavin Newsom orders that city and county workers revise marriage forms and begin allowing gay couples to marry, in direct contravention of Proposition 22. The next day, two conservative groups, the Proposition 22 Legal Defense and Education Fund, and the Campaign for California Families, file a court action to stop the marriages from being performed. By March, the California Supreme Court halts the weddings.

August 2004
The California Supreme Court rules that the marriages performed in February and March are void.

May 2008
A series of legal proceedings resulting from the conservative groups� court actions results in the California Supreme Court case known as In re Marriage Cases. In the case, the court renders Proposition 22 invalid, holding that statutes limiting marriage to hetero couples violates state constitution. Same-sex couples begin marrying.

November 2008
Prop 8 passes, amending the state constitution and limiting marriage to men and women.

May 2009
In Strauss v.Horton, The California Supreme Court holds that Prop 8 was lawful but that marriages performed before it was passed � after In re Marriage Cases but before the constitutional amendment, are valid. A few days before this, the American Foundation for Equal Rights, a nonprofit advocacy group, files suit in federal court, challenging the validity of Prop 8 under the U.S. Constitution on behalf of two same-sex couples. Notably, the attorneys arguing the case are Ted Olsen and David Boies, who argued opposite sides of Bush v. Gore. The case is known as Perry v. Schwarzenegger.

January 11-15, 2010
Perry v. Schwarzenegger begins. During its first week, several notable developments occur:

  • In a 5-4 decision, the Supreme Court bars U.S. District Judge Vaughan R. Walker, the judge hearing Perry, from broadcasting the trial on television. The majority opinion agrees with Prop 8 proponents that releasing video of the witnesses could subject them to potential harm.
  • Olsen presents an animus argument, asserting that animosity toward gays and lesbians drove anti-same-sex-marriage advocates to pursue Prop 8. The argument has precedent: In Romer v. Evans, a 1995 Supreme Court case, the Court ruled that a Colorado law, which prevented gays from legal protections, was based on animosity toward gays and therefore unconstitutional.
  • To prove animus, Olsen presents a letter written by Hak-Shing William Tam of the Traditional Family Coalition, a Prop 8 organizer. In the letter, Tam equated same-sex marriage with prostitution and �sex with children,� and asserted that legalizing same-sex marriage would result in California falling �into Satan�s hands.� Earlier in the month, Tam, a defender in the case, had asked Judge Walker to remove him from the case, fearing publicity that could endanger him and his family. Walker has yet to rule on the request.
  • Testimony was offered by Cambridge University professor Michael Lamb, whose research showed that same-sex couples are equally capable of raising children as heterosexual couples. Lawyers for the Prop 8 campaign referred to Lamb as a �committed liberal� whose testimony was ideologically tainted.
  • Also testifying was Helen Zia, who claimed that marrying her partner gave their relationship a legitimacy that couldn�t be matched by a domestic partnership.

Next week, San Diego mayor Jerry Sanders is expected to take the stand in defense of same-sex marriage. Sanders is noteworthy for having changed his stance on gay marriage � from �anti� to �pro� � after learning his daughter was a lesbian.
