'The most sexist' political ad ever

Minnesota Republicans backpedal after posting a web video portraying GOP women as hotter than Democrats

A local Republican district office in Minnesota was swamped with complaints this week after posting what critics called a "sexist" web video suggesting that Republican women are hot, and Democrats are "dogs." The ad contrasts appealing photos of Republican women, including Sarah Palin and former Miss California Carrie Prejean, with unflattering or digitally altered pictures of Democrats, including Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi. The soundtrack for GOP women is Tom Jones' "She's a Lady," while for the Democrats it is The Baha Men's "Who Let the Dogs Out." Politicians from both parties called the ad "juvenile" and offensive, and the local Republican officials quickly pulled it down. But the people behind the video maintain critics are overreacting. "It wasn't intended to be fair," says local GOP webmaster Randy Brown. "It was intended to be

Does Disneyland discriminate against Muslims?

A Disneyland employee says the company discriminates against her Muslim faith

Best Opinion:  Jezebel, Atlas Shrugs

Disneyland restaurant hostess Imane Boudlal, 26, plans to suethe California theme park for discrimination, after her bosses barred her from wearing a hijab at work. The managers at the Storytellers Cafe say the traditional Muslim headscarf — which Boudlal only recently requested to wear, after two years at the restaurant  — conflicts with Disneyland's notoriously strict dress code. As a compromise, executives offered Boudlal "a backstage role" with the company. "Their offer to put me in the back is humiliating," said Boudlal in a statement. "The Constitution tells me I can be Muslim, and I can wear the head scarf. Who is Disney to tell me I cannot?" That's "a fair question," says Anna North in Jezebel. And "frankly, it's hard to see a justification for banning the hijab for employees other than simple prejudice." This isn't about discrimination — every employee, no exceptions, is expected to reflect the "Disney Look," says Pamela Geller in Atlas Shrugs. "This is about Islamic supremacism and imposing Islam on

Pitt hints at death penalty for people behind oil spill

Hollywood superstar Brad Pitt has hinted that he feels the executives responsible for the Gulf of Mexico oil spill earlier this year deserve the death penalty.

The Inglourious Basterds star has spoken out against those behind the oil rig explosion in April in a new documentary If God is Willing and Da Creek Don't Rise, Contactmusic reported.

Of the people responsible for the disaster, the 46-year-old actor says, "I was never for the death penalty before - I am willing to look at it again."

The oil spill, which caused the worst environmental disaster in US history with millions of gallons of oil flooding into the sea, happened after an explosion on the BP operated Deepwater Horizon rig.

It resulted in the decimation of wildlife and

I am done with all toxic relations, says Vivek

Bollywood actor Vivek Oberoi, who is gearing up for his next release Rakta Charitra, has decided to distance himself from controversies and let bygones be bygones.

"I have gone through sexual innuendo in Bollywood" - Eesha Koppikhar

It's a lucky day. Eesha Koppikhar invites me to her residence in Bandra's Pali Hill. I arrive on time expecting a superb, well managed modern decor with half a dozen maids running up and down. But the first glance makes you forget your expectations. It just doubles it up. From the outside, it looks like a colossal palace. More like the Buckingham Palace. It's retro in style. It's traditionally white and it's got about a dozen chefs cooking some special courses for the day. BMWs, Mercedes and Toyotas are seen entering the spacious parking lot to attend the obvious function. I enter the reception area and ask for Eesha. But to no avail. I call her and she calls back and guides me to come on the first floor where she is busy eating her hot served lunch. She offers me some but I insist on 'no thanks'. Next up, "Will you have Tang?" I reply in affirmative. And then the best part, "Will you have it with soda or water?" the maid asks. Eesha can't stop laughing when I reply, "Isn't Tang suppose to be had with water?" 

What followed next was unimaginable. Eesha reveals one

Villager demands share in Peepli Live's earnings

The controversies surrounding Peepli Live cease to die even as the film continues to enjoy a dream run at the B.O. The latest jolt to the makers of the film has come from a villager Kunjilal Malviya who seems to want a share in the profits of the film as he feels that it's based on his life story.

Apparently, Kunjilal had predicted his death in the year 2005 and soon after an army of news channels came to cover his story. He feels that Natha's character in Peepli Live, who announces his death only to be attacked by a swarm of media, is similar to his real life story and hence is demanding a share in the pie.

'Soha Ali Khan waxing MMS scandal' a dud

We have reason to believe that searching for the Soha Ali Khan waxing MMS scandal might be an exercise in futility.

Over the weekend, Bollywood websites and blogs went into a tizzy with reports of a Soha Ali Khan waxing MMS scandal video.

After trawling through several dead links and investigating the matter in detail, we can safely assume that it's a campaign by vested interests with an explicit purpose: to malign the actress.

Apparently, Saif's little sis underwent a bikini wax session at a beauty salon recently. Unknown to her, there were cameras strategically placed in the room that recorded her in various states of undress and in some scenes, from close quarters, says the report.

Mention is made that she is completely at ease, implying that all

And Junior loves kissing his mom's leading lady Katrina Kaif on the lips.
