Travolta In A Bollywood Film? How Is That Good For Anyone?

There's not much to say on this.

Jackie Chan, Waiting For Bollywood, and Mallika Sherawat

Next stop for Jakie Chan? Flicks in India - once he gets the right script of course:

Hollywood star Jackie Chan said here Friday that he yearned to do an Indian film and was "eagerly waiting" for a good project.

Escorted by "Dasavatharam" director K.S. Ravi Kumar, Chan described Bollywood star Mallika Sherawat, who shares a brief screen space with him in "The Myth", as a "dear friend and a sister".

Who knew Sherawat and Jackie were so close?

Bollywood's taboo-breaking blockbuster celibate yogni actress Mallika Sherawat (aka Bollywood's Bardot) will be starring in an upcoming Hollywood film about Jesus Christ called The Aquarian Gospel, where she'll play the character Saraswati, a loyal friend of Christ, when he travels through India - and like some of her other roles, this one's starting to make conversation too.



At the same time, after winning the UK Celebrity Big Brother and getting kissed by Richard Gere (that picture still makes me queasy) - it seems one of the next stops for Shilpa Shetty is in the next James Bond movie Quantum of Solace where it's rumored that her role will be more like Madonna's in Die Another Day.
