The ex-IPS officer lends all her support to Life OK’s new show that aims to help people deal with crime
Crime shows like CID and Crime Patrol have caught the fancy of the audience for years, and the latest to join the list is Savdhan India, which aims at making people aware of how a criminal mind functions. Retired police officer Kiran Bedi says such an initiative was much needed. “It is a well-timed and much needed initiative and it is shocking, while at the same time it drives the message home,” Bedi, a former Indian Police Service officer, said in a statement. “Through initiatives like these, the TV channels can showcase a variety of situations, solutions and alternatives for people when dealing with crime,” she added.

Cineswami has a new passion – the lovely Mamata-di of Poschim Bongo, and he says there should be a film on the politician
You might be wondering, gentle reader, as to why the spectre of politics is disgracing these pages meant to carry graceful accounts of the altogether more noble, if not clean, entertainment industry. Not to worry, Cineswami will provide a connection, however specious it may be. Straight off the bat, if the likes of Amitabh Bachchan, Vinod Khanna, Dharmendra, Govinda and Jaya Prada can have political links, certainly Cineswami can. That’s not even looking at highly politicised Tamil Nadu, where every single chief minister since 1967 has either been an actor, actress or screenwriter. And Andhra Pradesh was ruled by the late, great NTR. But, we digress. We must return to the object of Cineswami’s passion, the lovely Mamata-di. The graceful lady swept away more than three decades of communist rule in West Bengal and proved the power of democracy by winning with a brute majority.

West Bengal’s cyber crime cell thinks that the model’s naked photo for Sachin Tendulkar could cause riots
Remember model Poonam Pandey’s nude picture for cricketer Sachin Tendulkar after he scored his 100th 100? Yes, the one in which Poonam is holding a photo of Sachin morphed into a Hindu god, with a Pakistani cricketer genuflecting before the frame – all this on a cricket ground. Now this image has caused a lot of controversy, with BollywoodLife getting comments like “This is not fair for Bollyeoodlife.com, it’s turned to relegionic insult. Admin (Bollywoodlife.com) plzzz take action on this photo [sic]” and “That’s cool for her fan, but it’s bad for our culture”. What’s more, the Cyber Crime Cell of the West Bengal CID has observed that the picture in question “is likely to spread riotous situation (in between two communities Hindu and Muslim) in West Bengal, India.” And they have politely commanded, “Hence you are requested to block remove the picture from your site as early as possible.” Click here to read more
