And let’s not forget (or forgive) Kareena for her now on, now off relationships that were flashed in our faces at store openings, fashion shows and movie premieres. Is it Shahid or is it Saif? Or is it just a publicity stunt? We don't know and, quite frankly, we don't care.
So, please, please let personal lives be personal and give us a few good, watchable movies instead.

Bachchan family saga (Yawn)

Between themselves, the Bachchans (old, new and newly married) managed to give even the Bharjatyas a complex with their Hum Saath Saath Hain act. Daddy Bachchan spent 2007 dressing like the oldest teenager in the world in his snazzy glares and weird clothes; Jaya aunty did to perfection the dowdiest MIL in the world in her ill-fitting suits, the well-endowed uncle Amar Singh was the omnipresent black cat commando. And of course, AbhiAsh, (or is it Abhiwarya?) stuck together like Thompson and Thomson. Sometimes even in matching jeans and white shirts. Endless rounds of temples (even the Gods must be fed up!), visiting Teji at the hospital, the bahurani’s first birthday, first Karvachauth, first baby? etc, etc. For all this melodrama, we prefer Balaji serials.

Rakhi talkie

Rakhi Sawant and her “I don’t likes it” English. Her raucous laughter, her two-inch pout, her botox implants, her kiss(a) with Mika, her wardrobe malfunction. And her plugging of her boyfriend beefcake Abhishek on Nach Baliye and her crying/laughing/ I do so much for orphans yap yap on KJ’s Koffee. Aargh. Relax, babe, we've seen you in less and even that doesn’t excite us anymore.

Reality bites

And last but certainly not the least. Since reality shows have become a national pastime. Can we please have less of the tears and the squabbles. Judges quarrelling with other judges, participants quarrelling with participants and judges and participants slugging it out with each other. Shabana, Mahesh, Shekhar, Anu, Jeetu uncle, are you all listening!
