SLUMDOG SWEEPS AT THE OSCARS!!!

Last night was more like South Asian night when SLUMDOG MILLIONARE Dominated the 81st annual Academy Awards! It was empowering for all South Asians when Slumdog Millionare took home 8 awards of it's 10 nominations! BIG UPS to A.R Rahman who was up against himself as two of his hits in the movie were nominated and he won best original song for "Jai Ho". Rahman sang himself and put on an excellent performance with John Legend helping out and Barananatiam Indian dancers and drummers. A.R thanked our Dear God in TAMIL!!!!!!! BIG TINGS! We have to give big ups to T.O because Slumdog was headed straight to DVD until it premiered at the Toronto International Film Festival and gained raving reviews, which soon became to spread world wide! The children of S.M were star struck as they met their fave actors such as Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie and got their autographs in their book. I don't really care about the other winners but they included; Kate Winslet, Penelope Cruz? Sean Penn, who is not enemies with his pal Mickey Rooney who were competeing for the same award AND the late Heath Ledger for his role as JOKER. Heath's family accepted the award and said the Oscar was gonna be given to his daughter Matilda. Anyways, SLUMDOG MILLIONARE OWNED the night!!!!!!!

AFTER SHOW, PICK ME PLEASE!

On Friday Da 13th, ooooooooooooooooh........I had an audition for MTV's the After Show!!! It was a great group of people I went into the audition with. The audition was conducted by Meghan and Garrett. We chatted up on the latest entertainment dish and of course the BIG Chris Brown and Rhianna NEWS was brought to the table. My opinion on this is 'OH NO HE DIDN'T!' I can't stand why some males want think they are superior to females. No one has the right to assault woman! This is a serious issue and what century are we in?! Have we not moved away from violence against women?! Of course not. It is an ongoing battle that everyone needs education on. We also OBVIOUSLY talked about our interest in Whitney's new show The CITY, which airs on MTV. I said, I loved the City because it's shot in NYC and NYC reminds me of T.O. I am a CITY GIRL! I also like The City girl's fashion on the show. In addition, The City has more LIVE music than The Hills, courtesy of 'ROCK STAR', Jay. Why else do I love The CITY? They have a T.O. Boy on the show! DUNCAN! WOOT WOOT! So PLEASE PICK ME, MICHIE P to be on the AFTER SHOW! You know, I'll bring the flow and so much MORE! XOXO

GRAMMYS AND ASSAULT?

BIG UPS to my Tamil sister, Mathangi Arulpragasam better know to the world as, M.I.A! Why? It's not because she she DIDN'T win any awards for 2 of her song sat this years Grammy's! It's because mere hours after her dope performance with Lil Wayne, Jay Z and T.I for 'Swagga Like Us', she was delivery due and rushed to the hospital and gave birth to a baby BOY! Who needs a trophy when you can have your very own child?! The singer stated that her son and her are working on her 2010 your and gonna put out some mix tapes. LOL Hopefully, she will win an Oscar for her song Oh Saya with Rahman. Her track O Saya, featured in the film Slumdog Millionaire, is shortlisted for best original song at the Oscars.
The baby daddy is her fiancé, musician Benjamin Bronfman, a member of Canada's eminent business family!

Some winners at the Grammy's included, COLD PLAY, ADELE, John Mayer, Robert Plant and Alison Krauss, Daft Punk, Natalie Cole, METALICCA, Radiohead and many more! See the full list at http://www.grammy.com/GRAMMY_Awards/51st_show/list.aspx

And even more Gramy kinda news, if you've been living under a rock, than you might have missed the big CRAZY news about R&B singer 'beating' up his Barbados sensational sexy singer RIHANNA! Brown and RiRi were both nominated for awards and who were supposed to perform together, missed the award show after a serious incident involving an attack on Rihanna by Brown! No one REALLY knows what went down but we do know that Chris Brown maybe guilty since he DID in fact turn himself In! Chris Brown has lost a lot of fans and business deals after this incident. What really went down? Who knows? RiRi is healing her wounds and taking it E Z in Barbados with her fam and Brown is making a big mistake by HIDING! Just apologize already! No matter what, I have no tolerance for any Assault AGAINST WOMEN! I have no respect for men who hit women. Brown should have known better since his mama was a victim of domestic abuse! TSK TSK BAN CHRIS BROWN!

Farenheit says turn the Temperature UP!

My homeboy Farenheit was in T.O on Thursday, so I decided to meet up with him at the Yorkville hot spot lounge, One Eleven. Alongside Farenheit was Sean Paul's manager, Steve. When he told me he was Sean Paul's manager, I had to ask him the infamous question and before I could even ask him the question, he laughed and said, 'I know the question you're gonna ask me and so many people asked me that already!' Than he just forgot about answering my question so I was like to him, so if you knew what question I was gonna ask, what is it than? and he was liek 'You're gonna ask me aomething about Sean Paul and Beyonce'. I said, 'yah, so let me ask you, why wasn't Sean allowed to be beside Beyonce for their hit 'Baby Boy?' I thought it was because Jay Z was jealous or something BUT He said, 'it was a lot of politics with Beyonce's dad.' Steve almost or possibly got into a fist fight with Beyonce's dad. Yikes!

Anywhooooo, Farenheit is visiting Canada for a bit and doing some shows but not in T.O :(. However, he and Sean a Paul are doing a Valentines day performance in Montreal's Time Supper Club, where he will perform his 'HIT EM' single with S P. Hope to see you in Jamaica in the near future. Thanks for the invite! :)

F U

The annual F U awards took place on Thursday at the Sound Academy and boy was it fun! The show was hosted by J.D and Barry from Edge 102 and actor Jason Mewes. The party life took a toll on Jason, who is best known for his role as Jay in the Jay and Silent Bob movies and other film credits include Clerks 1 and 2 and Dogma. Mr. Mewes is on a clean road to sobriety as he has quit drinking and doing drugs. I'm so proud of him! Mewes told me that he just sticks to smoking cigarettes. It can be hard in the film and music industry to stay clean but with the right state of mind, anyone can have the will to do it. When Mewes announced to everyone at the F U award show that he quit smoking pot, he got a lot of boos and negative reactions but honestly, that took a lot of courage and strength! Big ups and respects to you boy! You're still cool! If you're reading this, which I know you might ;) holla anytime you're in T.O! Mewes is staying in T.O until Tuesday February 10th. His buddy Kevin Smith is in town on Sunday too. Kevin Smith will appear at Bloor Cinemas for a Kevin Smith movie marathon. It will cost ya 60 smackaroos to watch some classic Smith movies like MallRATS.

As for the F U awards? The show was punk and had a high NOT professional security! Some security bitch went through my purse without my permission! How RUDE! We also did an interview with the band Kingdoms, who was one of the acts and security treated the frontman like shit. Fuck, get some manners people! Some awards were handed out and bands like the Flatliners, Hostage Life and Andrew W. K, who gave an ever so pumped up show!

Check out some F U award show bits and my ever so funny interview with Jason Mewes coming soon!

SLUMDOG MILLIONARE

SLUMDOG MILLIONARE is this years box office hit that is bound to get an Oscar or two at this years Academy Awards. The cast and director first heard of just 3 nominations but were shocked when they found out they scored 10 nominations! Not suprising since it has has already won four Golden Globe awards, one which included Best Picture AND WINNER of the Peoples Choice award at the Toronto International Film Festival!

First film new actors, Freida Pinto and Dev Patel star in a Hindi and English movie where, an educated yet slick slum boy who Patel plays makes it onto the Indian version of of 'Who Wants to be a Millionare', not to actually win money but to get the attention of his childhood love who was also raised in slums Latika, played by Pinto. Nevertheless, he ends up winning and suspicions arose that he cheated. So how did a slum boy know all the answers to the gameshow questions? Well, easy, he visited his rough childhood memories to seek the answers.

The movie also casts real life slum children who depict the corrupt life of sex trades, smuggling, and child poverty in India. The movie is filled with the empowering message of persistance and patience for love. The movie's hit music composer A.R Rahman is getting recognized for his music especially with his collaboration with my Tamil girl, M.I.A for the song 'OH SAYA'!
