Megan Fox

Right… I really have nothing to say, but damn, Megan Fox is a blonde in disguise! I guess for most men though, it really doesn’t matter what women say, as long as they look like that huh!? So jealous!! Both, Megan and Brian Austin Green, are the benchmark for hotness – just look at those gorgeous bodies.

Weather Update

It was a chilly morning in Mumbai right? Well I suppose not so much if you’re coming from Canada but for me, I’m one of those “can’t stand air-conditioning” kind of peeps! So here’s a little peak at what it’s like around the world this week! Mostly chilly (and some downright fah-reezing) places my wedding guests are coming in from, so I’m sure they’ll be pleased to see happy shiny me in happy shiny Goa!

PS. Dear God, thank you for the sunshine :) xoxo

Rryan Gosling

After yesterday’s Ryan Reynolds post we had to do the other Ryan that is oh so hot right now Ryan Gosling. He may not be the sexiest man alive yet, but he’s close! Not that it would matter to many Gosling fans, he’s already their no.1. I haven’t seen Drive yet, (gasp) yes I will see it soon enough, but I hear he is just brilliant. I did hear this from a fan; maybe I should get more constructive criticism. I’m a still Ryan Reynolds fan, who do you like better. Take our poll and let me know what you think in the comments.

Add some bling to your wrist

What’s your all-time favourite romantic dialogue? Post your answer in the comments below and win a fab watch from Paris Hilton!

“That’s hot!” Yes, Paris was definitely talking about her blingy watches. And you have to admit, she’s right. We at team MissMalini are all about spreading the love this season; tell us the most romantic dialogue you’ve ever heard – it could be a famous celebrity catchphrase, a movie dialogue or something that your sweetheart told you, and you could win a fab P.H. watch!

Paris Hilton Watches

These watches are high-fashion, high-function, and super stylish; just what the doctor prescribed to glam up your everyday wardrobe, right? Dripping in crystals, this must-want accessory is on everyone’s list. Bling, but not in-your-face, these watches are the perfect finishing touch to any ensemble. And I want one. Because “it’s huuuge”… (translation: super-cool in P.H.’s lingo).

Notting Hill (picture courtesy | lexiegrace.files.wordpress.com)

My personal, gets-me-weak-in-the-knees, romantic dialogue? It has to be the one from Notting Hill, when Anna (Julia Roberts) says to William (Hugh Grant), “Don’t forget. I’m just a girl, standing in front of a boy, asking him to love her…” Hand me the tissues please.

Shit Bollywood Says

Have you been seeing all those “Sh*t ____ say(s)” videos doing the rounds? I’ve seen a few – but among my favourites has to be Sh*t Bollywood Says, created by Waseem Shaikh, Naach Radio host that MissMalini does Bollywood updates for. He pays homage to some classic Bollywood elements, and I guarantee you will let out a laugh!

Armani Prive

I’m feeling particularly reptilian, looking at this Armani Privé collection, and I love it. A metamorphosis of a snake that winds it’s way through the body. The creepy, yet ultimately beautiful, accessories really stood out amongst the rest of the collection. The deep hued emerald green, black and greys add to these dark, yet sultry pieces, and I’m all for it. I think it’s super HOT, and I would love to sink my fangs into those heels!

Ryan Reynolds

There are quite a few gorgeous Ryans out there, but my all time favorite is Ryan Reynolds. His body is a piece of God’s work; look at those abs, they are totally lust worthy! My love for this actor was sealed after his role in The Proposal; I want an assistant like him. Time to start the search huh? He must come with a house in Alaska. Alright now I’m just dreaming, house in Altamount Rd is perfectly acceptable. If you’re clueless about this, go watch The Proposal… now.

Lana Del Rey

The next big thing, erm, according to some. But her song Video Games, which catapulted her to the fore, sure is a thing of beauty. I’ve been listening to it on a loop for a good while now, and what a gorgeously haunting song it is. My pick for Best Song of 2011. Her sort of debut album, Born to Die, was released into the world last week and has already shot to No.1 in 13 countries. Sounds peachy? Far from it; she’s got tongues lashing wagging, read on to know Why This Kolaveri Di for Lana Del Rey.

Okay, take a deep breath. She was born as Elizabeth Grant in 1986 to *minted parents* (her dad’s a millionaire, just saying) in New York City, and grew up in another rich men’s playground Lake Placid, New York. While studying metaphysics (which is working out whether it’s possible to mathematically prove God’s existence, if you didn’t know!) at Fordham University in NYC, she trawled bars in Brooklyn for a singing gig. Persistence pays as they say, ‘cos she bagged a recording contract with New York indie label 5 Points Records. Under her own name, Lizzy Grant, she released an EP titled Kill, Kill in October, 2008 and a full-length album in *January, 2010* titled Lana Del Ray, both of which tanked. In *March, 2010*, bizarrely, that album, along with footage/recordings/anything to do with Lizzy Grant, was scrubbed from the Internet. That is, there was no trace of Lizzy Grant to be found in the virtual world, and she even decamped… to London.

Lana Del Rey

Skip to July, 2011, and enters Lana Del Rey, the pillow-lipped pouty, sultry, seductive version of Lizzy Grant to be known as of now, to sign a recording contract with Interscope Records (did daddy bribe the record execs?). Suspiciously, that deal was not made public.

Then, the supposedly self-made video for Video Games surfaced on the internet, and, just like that, it went on to become crazily viral (did Interscope seed and viralize it? Cynical git you’re for thinking so…), making her the poster child for indie kids along the way.

In September, 2011, noted indie music and meme interpreter Carles, of Hipster Runoff, posted a bunch of old photos of Lizzy Grant LDR in which she had smaller lips, and with it started the storm about her authenticity altogether. Then in an attempt to refute allegations of cosmetic surgery through an interview with Complex, she accidentally (ha!) muddled with her cushty background: “I haven’t had anything done at all. Anyone who’s known me will tell you that. I’m sorry, but I was living in a trailer park for a few years. I didn’t even have enough money to buy Cocoa Puffs. ”

All very petty and irrelevant, I know. But can she actually sing ‒ live? Her TV debut, on 11^th October, 2011, at Britain’s Later… with Jools Holland implied that, erm, she couldn’t. She made a few more live performances and unfortunately, none of them suggested otherwise.

But what really opened the floodgates was her performance on her U.S. television debut at Saturday Night Live on 14^th January, 2012, which, in all honesty, was shambles. Somewhere amidst it all ‒ and adding fuel to the fire ‒ Billboard confirmed the rumoured Interscope deal, and that her album would be coming out in early 2012. Which it did on 31^st of January ‒ to mixed reviews.

So, yeah, some people feel victims of an immense confidence trick: far from being an organic wunderkind, her transformation from Lizzy to Lana was plotted all along by shrewd record execs ‒ and backed by her wealthy father. Is she actually talented; if so, why didn’t she take off when she was Lizzy Grant? SO, friends, would you give LDR a listen; or, has her spot of airbrushing the past backstory made you all too sceptical to give her any credibility as an artist? I’m yet to listen to the whole album but the three songs that I’ve heard so far, the misanthropic me loved ‒ think I’ll go for it.

Chanel Spring Couture 2012

What makes Chanel crazy? The fact that they changed the runway to look like the insides of an aeroplane? The fact that Karl Lagerfeld walked out of a mock up cockpit? Or was it that the whole collection was done entirely in shades of blue? I bet none of that caught your attention because you can’t see past their hair! Good thing the models weren’t seated in the seats, no one behind them would see a thing! You decide my lovelies – Hot or Not?

Aalim Hakim's birthday greeting to Abhishek Bachchan

Yesterday was Abhishek Bachchan’s birthday, and among all the greetings he received from his Bollywood buddies, we like this one the most, sent by celebrity hairstylist Aalim Hakim.

It shows Abhishek getting his head shaved by Aalim’s father, the legendary hairstylist to the stars, Hakim.

Abhishek with his parents, then and now.

Cute, na?
