Barn Stars
Hate campaign towards foreign stars in Bollywood
It’s reported that actresses including Alice Patten, the daughter of Lord Patten of Barnes, the former Tory Party chairman, and Hazel Crowney, a former model from Kent, have been accused of stealing jobs from local girls in India.
Raj Thackeray’s Maharashtra Navnirman Sena (MNS), a Mumbai nationalist street gang and political party which inspires terror throughout the city, has called on foreign white actresses to go home. Mr Thackeray is especially feared in Bollywood, where he has the power to shut productions and close cinemas
In recent years, an increasing numbers of European and South American actresses have been attracted to India and finding roles in India. Patten appeared in Rang De Basanti, one of the most popular Bollywood films of recent years. Kylie Minogue appeared in a raunchy song and dance scene called Chiggy Wiggy in the film Blue with Akshay Kumar. Hollywood actors such as Sylvester Stallone and Brandon Routh, the star of Superman Returns, have taken cameo roles in Bollywood productions.

But this international approach could now be threatened because producers and directors fear Mr Thackeray will ruin their films if they do not comply. However, if only local stars can be employed in Indian productions, it could push up costs and force film-makers to shoot more scenes overseas. To save money, directors usually hired attractive backpackers passing through Mumbai and shoot dance scenes in local clubs or film sets.
Even though fiercely criticized worldwide, Mr Thackeray just doesn’t want to make any concession. And he has his supporters. Shalini Thackeray, an MNS leader, said: “Why can’t our Indian actors dance with locals? We will insist that only local junior artists should be employed.

Disney’s The Kid $5.92 Russ Duritz (Bruce Willis) is an ultracynical, 40-year-old L.A. image consultant who fashions bogus façades for scumbag clients.

Coyote Ugly $1.49 As a producer, Jerry Bruckheimer makes movies for guys, mostly action films like Top Gun and Gone in 60 Seconds. The ones he makes that feature women, such as Flashdance and now Coyote Ugly, broaden their appeal with a fondness for “strong women.” For Bruckheimer, that means self-determined, attractive women who don’t need men to get what they want. Is there anything sexier than that? In Coyote U… |

Rocky (Five-Tape Boxed Set) [VHS] $9.88 Americans love the underdog. Anytime someone is beating the odds, fighting his or her way to the top, like the Little Engine That Could, it resonates well with U.S. audiences; it’s in their nature. Sylvester Stallone knew that in 1976, when Rocky was a monstrous hit and established itself in the American cultural lexicon. His low-budget tale of a young boxer who came from the slums of Philadelphia… |
