Ghajini Heroine Asin Interview , ‘Not Dating Salman Khan and he Didn’t Buy Me A House’
Asin Interview Excerpts :
How difficult was it for daddy’s daughter to work independently after her father was hospitalised?
It wasn’t very difficult. Asin More Pics My dad was never a baby-sitter on the sets. Between us, it’s a client-and-manager kind of a relationship. Since I don’t have a manager or a secretary, my father plays a three-in-one role. Recently, I went to Bangalore to launch the Bangalore Food Guide. I called him up at one in the morning to just wish him good night. Even then, his phone was engaged! My work-related issues had been keeping him busy so late in the night. Now, there is somebody to accompany me in his place. The only difference is, since this person is doing a professional job, the personal touch of having my father around, is missing.
Do you have your parents accompany you while shooting?
My mother, who is a doctor, has opted for VRS. My father isn’t there to stare into the monitor as I shoot. He sees to it that everything is organised, and then leaves. It’s disturbing when people confuse my father with the ‘baby-ko-juice-doh’ kind of parents who are always there on the sets. My dad is an independent thinker and never indulges in such behaviour
How difficult is it to shoot romantic scenes in your father’s presence?
I’m quite comfortable when he is around. It’s my profession. If I can agree to a scene that will be viewed by my parents in the audience, why won’t I be able to shoot it in front of them?
A lot is being said about how Salman Khan gifted you a house …
How silly is that! I’ve been living in the same house ever since I went to Mumbai to shoot for Ghajini. I hadn’t even met Salman then. The media has got him to gift me a new house, someone to do the interiors and even adorned my walls with his paintings and posters!
Playboy Gets 13 Years for Conning 10 Lovers
Somebody had too much fun in Shanghai.
A 23-year old playboy charmed and swindled 10 women out of Y1.45 million ($211, 988).
The young man met the women at parties and then went to work. One woman paid the “general manager of a company, who owned a lot of properties and luxury cars” a whopping Y800,000 ($115K). The woman believed his stories and his need for capital.
Ah, but women talk. One of the playboy’s ex-girlfriends caught wind of his romance and swindling and called the latest victim, who, in turn, called police.
When he wasn’t courting at parties, he used the Internet to meet women and impress them with a “flashy car and expensive apartment.”
I wonder what the women are going to think of his new ‘digs.’ He will spend the next 13 years and nine months in a Shanghai prison.
China’s Air Force Bans Lunchtime Drinking
This is scary. China’s air force has banned lunchtime drinking.
Air force officers face:
1. demerit
2. domotion
3. getting sacked
if they drink alcohol at lunch on working days now.
I suppose we, or at least the Chinese, should be happy about this ban, eh?
But, what I wonder is what have they been doing up until now?
“Hey, Wang, look at the jet fighter up there?”
“Where?”
“There and there and now over there and there and down there and up there and …..”
Death Row Dude Too Fat to Execute
I reckon this guy has found a good reason to pig out. He now claims he is too fat to be given a lethal injection - he is 5′7″ and weighs 267lbs. He says that executioners aren’t likely to be able to find his veins and his weight may be too much that the drugs won’t be effective.
He bases his claims on the fact that prison officials have not been too successful at drawing blood. He’s also taking a drug for migraines (you get headaches when you are going to die, I suppose) and his lawyers say the drug for his noggin may come in conflict with the lethal injection drugs, too.
The man is being executed for raping and murdering two young women in 1986. His execution is scheduled for Oct. 14th.
How about the prison just starve him to death?
Running Drunk and Naked
Why am I not surprised? There’s a guy in China who is cooling off in jail because he was thinking wrongly with both heads…senior and junior.
Drunk as a skunk and not able to get his girlfriend to cooperate, he stripped down, ran around a scenic spot in the buff, his birthday suit, nude and started throwing stones at police officers. Yeah, that usually scares the police away.
He also savagely beat his sweety and then wondered why she would have nothing to do with him. Golly.
He’s in the pokey now for 12 days. He’ll be sober when he gets out, and, no doubt, girlfriendless, too.
The Sydney Sexpo (DSFW)
DSFW = Dangerously Safe For Work.
Seriously, don’t these girls and the others attending this sexpo read Wispid? Haven’t they checked the Sexpid archives? Most likely not. Anywho, there’s a sexpo going on down under. It’s an annual event, too. And, I wasn’t invited. Were you?
Nine Women Arrested in Sex Competition
Nine women on the island of Zakynthos were arrested celebrating a Greek holiday. Their charge - prostitution charges for taking part in oral sex competition.
Good news - six Brits and 3 Greeks were arrested, too. Two of them bar owners.
The competition was video recorded and was to be posted on the Internet. The women were paid to participate.
The men were charged with encouraging obscene behavior.
About 15 million people go to the island famous for its wild party scene and twenty-something holidaymakers.
Is anyone reading this looking for a map?

Man Swallows Dentures While Sleeping
The guy snored so loud he couldn’t hear himself swallow his dentures.
Huh?
A 64-year old Chinese dude fell asleep with his dentures in and woke up with a bad feeling inside. Docs investigated and found his dentures in his lungs!
The snoring was what likely caused the man to suck them in.
It took surgery to get them out.
And his wife? She still can’t sleep.
Tempest Storm - 80-year old Stripper (pix)
Tempest Storm…great name. Goes with the territory, I suppose. TS is a stripper. She’s been at it for more than 50 years. She has the “best two props in Hollywood” in Las Vegas, however.
TS performs in Las Vegas, Reno, Palm Springs, Miami, Carnegie Hall.
She claims to be a former lover of Elvis Presley, taught Walter Cronkite how to dance and took it all off on the same stage as Frank Sinatra and Mickey Rooney.
And she still takes it off, takes it all off for her enduring fans.
I reckon they would have to endure a lot considering the time it might take an 80-year old to get down to her birthday suit, including the G-string.
Her ‘classy’ act, she says, is done with a boa and takes four number to do right, not the seven minutes she is allotted.
If you ask me, 7 minutes is more than enough time for an 80-year old stripper.
Shameless Plug -
I’ve written a book - Gee I Wish I Had Been Drinking at the Time.
Teacher Arrested for Peeping up Schoolgirl’s Skirt
I know what a peeping tom is, but I don’t know what you call a person who peeps up skirts. Pervert?
What about when it’s a teacher? and a school girl? Weirdo pervert.
A 34-year old male teacher was busted for looking up a 15-year old girl’s skirt at around 6:50am. The teacher hung around the stair case at a train station and looking up while the little girl’s climbed the stairs.
He’s been arrested and police have started hanging around the area more. To not do what?
2,500 Bottles of Beer Downed in 30 Days
An Aussie man was recently convicted of his 7th drunk driving charge. Prior to
that, he was spending $980/week on beer.
After breaking up with his partner some five years ago, he has been drowning his sorrows.
A judge decided to not jail the father of four and instead banned him from buying or even hold a beer for 12 months.
The judge may have felt sorry for the guy because he was drinking such a “poor judgment” in beers.
2-year old falls out of 7th-floor apartment
A 2-year old boy fell off the balcony of a 7th-floor apartment building in Osaka.
His 26-year old mother was out taking a walk with another son, and the little boy’s father was at work.
The dead toddler was found by a neighbor.
The little boy was able to climb over a railing and squeeze through the bars.
We marvel at the little boy’s ability and are dumbfounded at how dumb his mother was to be found.
