I wonder what is it about Shah Rukh that gets me easily turned on every time he turns that gaze on a girl in his films. Is there such a thing as 'on-screen pheromone'?? If I can go all hot-cold-hot-cold about his romantic scenes while just being another face in the audience, what about the actresses he's romancing? Either he's not their type, or they have some kinda invincible armour against his charm and sex appeal :P

Avatar-joint promo?? Far out!
LINK
Nov 24 2009 : In perhaps the first of its kind of an event, where Hollywood meets Bollywood, the promo of Karan Johar’s ‘My Name Is Khan’ will be unveiled with James Cameron’s ‘Avatar’, globally on December 18.
So how cool is it that the promo will be out simultaneously with My Name is Khan? Very cool, according to me. Altho the way they arranged the promotional pictures together was kind of iffy.. but I had fun interpreting the non-existent secret messages that the picture presentation is trying so hard to give out LOL.

Speech in INDIA GATE
Am I the only one who have goosebumps watching this?
If I had not known who SRK and the Prime Minister of India are and someone were to point out this guy while he's delivering this speech to me and tell me that here's the newly appointed Prime Minister of India who replaced Manmohan Singh in the 2009 election, I would have believed it.
You know how we say 'the whole is greater than the sum of the individual parts'? With Shah Rukh, even his individual parts are great. I read many articles where people ask "Who's the real Shah Rukh Khan?". My attitude towards him is thus: Shah Rukh is whoever he is at the moment he is whoever he is. I accept whatever he wants to throw at me, coz each piece of him is blindingly brilliant.
I have no idea what he's saying in the hindi part of this clip, and I have a feeling that I won't agree with a lot of things that he's saying about Islam.. but that doesn't take away the fact that he's so convinced with his truth, it makes my conviction in my truth pales in comparison. Were I to have 1/1000 of his belief in the rightness in which he lives his life in the rightness of how I live mine, I'd be a better person than I am now.. I think.
I've always found it weird how people try to make him into an ambassador of Islam. You don't search for ambassadors of your religion in the cinema halls, dudes. But then this is also a country in which temples are erected in worship of Shah Rukh and pooja are carried out to pray for his health and well being..so out of respect for an unknown world and culture, I hold my silence on this issue. Shah Rukh is who he is because of everything he has gone through, so who am I to complain about things I understand nothing about?
Love you Shah Rukh, and take care!

PS: On another note, OMG..someone actually went and typed the speech he delivered in the India Today Conclave, how dedicated is that? (LINK)

SRK is 12 people in this ad!
It's one of those public service ads he does sometimes.
So before Priyanka did a 12-character role in a film, Shah Rukh has already done a 12-character role in an ad. Or technically speaking, 3 ads. Still.. seeing them one after another is a bit disconcerting. I think ads is where he can act any way he pleases, while for films.. there're a lot of things for him to consider before he takes a role. However, I do agree with a commenter in a youtube post that Shah Rukh acts in films where if it hadn't been him acting in them, they would have flopped.
Take Dil To Pagal Hai, for example. What is the story about? It doesn't have a strong plot. And the way the story unfolds, there's no up or down moments and the climax.. does it even have a climax? So why do we love it so much? It's coz Shah Rukh's in it..ha! No surprise there. Is he trying to prove something to himself or is it becoz he doesn't have a nose for good scripts?? Sometimes I worry about his method of choosing movies ^^;; ..but hey, it's worked out for him so far!
Enjoy the ad~~

Is it a wonder that I like Rakhi Sawant?
I like the way she talks altho I understand nothing.. coz she always has this filmi OTT way of saying things. She's a dream when she dances coz she's like one heck of a no holds barred sexy hot chick. Whenever people talk about how plasticky she looks, I alwiz have this urge to ask.. "Toh kiya??". Haven't watched her TV shows though, but I've never been much of a soap opera/reality TV person anyway. What can I say.. I love her item songs.

I keep bleeding love for you
Whenever I want to say, "Hmm, nobody's perfect.." along comes someone like Takeshi Kaneshiro to prove that actually perfection does exist in this world.
(O God, I sound so mushy..LOL)
(O God, I sound so mushy..LOL)
Takeshi Kaneshiro...
I must have loved him from my previous lives.. if there's such a thing. Or at least, I feel like I've loved him since forever.. mmm, since Lavender (2000) to be exact. Before that I was just salivating over his pretty face. After that movie, I fell in love (or was it lust?) hard. Mostly over that massaging scene.. o yumm.
Then Returner (2002) just made me go on top of the moon mad over him. He's so beautiful, yet he plays all sorts of roles that don't give a dem about his pretty face. In fact, I often find myself getting confused between ogling his prettiness and feeling worried over his characters' luck in life. A lot of his early movies, esp the Hong Kong ones, are really really wacky LOL.
I love him in Lost and Found (1996).. he was such a puppy in that movie.. so cute!
Found his interviews lying around on youtube.. oh, did I forget to tell ya gals/guys that he can speak all those languages fluently?? Needless to say, I went berserk. Takeshi, I love you!!! I'm thinking that I want to dedicate some time to explore the treasure trove I just found on him in youtube. Must find all his nice movies and buy them.. hmmm.
In Japanese:
Returner: Part 1, Part 2
In Chinese:
In English:
Part 2, Part 3
In Cantonese:
Part 2

Man at Work!
I envy this cameraman/woman...
Do these clips make him seem more real? More human? More physical? I dunno.. to me, it just makes Shah Rukh Khan seem more adorable.
The one with the basketball made me go, "Girls cannot play basketball!" ..well, in this one it's Shah Rukh who couldn't LOL. Poor basketball, suffering from much gentle abuse.. :P
They're strictly a NO-NO for those who are allergic to Shah Rukh and can't find any satisfaction in whatever he does. To those of you who fall into that category, please.. don't watch these clips, I beg you!! I'm tired of reading comments from masochists who flagellate themselves with endless SRK-bashing on youtube.
Anyway, enjoy the clips!

What others say about Shah Rukh Khan: Madhuri Dixit & Mushtaq Shiekh
Madhuri Dixit (October 28, 2008):
"They're different in many ways," she muses, "Aamir is more studied. He just does one film and he will put his all into that film. I remember I was sitting with Shah Rukh once and he said, 'Madhuri, you know kids who have producers as fathers are very lucky because in a way they are financially secure, they can pick and choose. We don't have any kind of anchor like that so we have to make a place for ourselves and work really hard. Not that they don't work hard, but there's that comfort… But I want to be a producer one day and produce good cinema."
"The way Aamir wants to do things is different from the way Shah Rukh does them. Shah Rukh is very lively, like a livewire. I don't think he ever sleeps! He is someone you can talk to on any topic in the world as he has a lot to say and he knows about a lot of stuff. His is a totally different personality from Aamir's but they both have a common thread which is a passion for their work. Shah Rukh was brilliant in Chak De; it's one of his finest performances." About Salman, she says one couldn't make out whether he was taking in the director's instructions or not while the briefing was on, but in front of the camera, he'd be brilliant and floor everyone.
Well, he did go on and become a producer.. the rest is Bollywood history. Think it's easy to create history? Watch Mushtaq Shiekh as he tells us what happened when Shah Rukh first started out with Dreamz Unlimited.
