'Six thick thistle sticks. Six thick thistles stick.' Try saying that again. And again. And some more.

How's it going? The beauty of an intricate tongue twister lies in its unbroken rhythm. If nailed, it sounds gracefully articulate. If not, a spew of mispronounced prattle. It's all about saying the right word at the right time at the right pace.
Filmmaker Sudhir Mishra's Yeh Saali Zindagi can be compared to one such tongue-twister. It's a fairly simple plot interspersed with tricky turns and narrated at a breakneck speed.

While the genre is comfortably familiar, Mishra's treatment is refreshingly zany. In place of gloss and gimmicks, the director-story and screenplay writer unearths the underhandedness and layers that constitute his protagonists (and there are a whole lot of them, mind you!) with such dedicated precision and subtext, it's stimulating to stay in sync.

Like I mentioned, this one's a crowded affair. Even so, Irrfan Khan [ Images ], Arunoday Singh and Chitrangda Singh share the onus to make it work the most. As the plot's prime players, their lives are interwoven in a web of desire, deceit and determination in this audaciously staged, wildly choreographed thriller with romance at the centre.

Set in Delhi for most part, the movie begins on a strategic note on a Mumbai [ Images ] waterfront reverting to the time that led it here leading us to Arun (Khan), a marvelously sly accountant loves singer Priti (Chitrangda) despite the vociferous protests of his tubby boss (Saurabh Shukla [ Images ]). Priti chases a better future with Shyam (Vipul Gupta) who's engaged to a politician's daughter.
A parallel track involves criminal Kuldeep (Arunoday) who's keen on accomplishing that last big job before he declares a happily-ever-after with his wife (Aditi Rao Hydari) and son. Because he holds Shyam and Priti on ransom, Arun gets embroiled too.

It's all too delicately connected with a secondary bunch of whimsical creatures -- brothers -- the sensitive Bade (Yashpal Sharma) and the kinky Chote (Prashant Narayanan [ Images ]), a shady cop (Sushant Singh) and a third tier of maverick henchmen, I could go on -- lending significant contribution courtesy its perfect ensemble of supporting actors.

The only time its pace -- the most delightful aspect of YSZ -- takes a beating is to accommodate Arunoday and Aditi's steaming love-making session. The lovely lady who played Sonam Kapoor's [ Images ] demure aunt in Delhi 6 [ Images ] introduces us to her sensual side here. That's pretty much it.

Her co-star Arunoday, who admittedly I wasn't too impressed with in Aisha, is quite a revelation under Mishra's focused direction. His robust charm and vulnerability work well in communicating his passions as a smitten husband, loving father and faithful colleague.

While on the subject of colleagues, Irrfan brings tremendous plausibility to the proceedings despite the script's wacky temperament and unexplained obsession with uncomplimentary close-ups, whether he's disclosing his crafty schemes or making besotted eyes at the recipient of his unconditional support.

And what a recipient! There's no effort to project Chitrangda as some celluloid dream from outer space. Instead it's really worth anyone's while to witness how she generates glamour by just being real, accessible and gritty.

On the surface, Yeh Saali Zindagi is a black comedy in a bawdy skin. And even as purely that, it's wonderfully unrestrained (dead man farting, yes?) and entertaining with its mouthful of zingers penned by Mishra and Manu Rishi -- one of the deviously funny lines fame (Oye Lucky! Lucky Oye!, Phas Gaye Re Obama [ Images ]). The nifty writing, however, isn't restricted to wit alone but extends itself to YSZ's most gentle moments without compromising on its overall frantic personality.

The idea is to project mess and chaos. Indeed surplus characters and subplots often make YSZ an overwhelming experience to endure. But if you are up for the challenge to explore Delhi's shifty facet, it's rewarding too. What's most fascinating is how everyone has a sense of humour about their situation, which is inevitably on the sticky side. Saali or sane, this Zindagi rocks.

Jennifer Aniston at her new fragrance launch in London

Hollywood beauty Jennifer Aniston is all set to relaunch her new fragrance in the US after it failed to create ripples in Britain.

The perfume, named after the 41-year-old actress, will go on sale at Sephora stores next month, Femalefirst reported.

"I wanted this fragrance to be a personal library of scent memories. For example, my love of night blooming jasmine has lasted a lifetime. Growing up in California, I distinctly remember the scent of the Jasmine on summer evenings," said Aniston of the fragrance, which was initially called 'Lovalie'.

"I consider the scent of the ocean to be one of life's most uplifting sensual experiences. No aroma is quite so purifying, humbling and exhilarating. The combination of the salty air and tropical oils reminds me of long sunny days on the beach - pure happiness," she added.

The 'Marley & Me' star originally launched the fragrance at Harrods department store in London last summer.

7 year old boy almost buys fighter jet via internet

SYDNEY: A seven-year-old British boy nearly bought a real-life Harrier fighter jet for $113,515 via online shopping.

The boy hit the "buy it now" button to purchase the fighter jet, which was put on sale at the online store eBay.

But his father quickly apologised to the sellers, saying his son was not able to buy the aircraft out of his pocket money, news.com.au reported Friday.

"His dad rang up and profusely apologised to us, so it's still for sale. We've put it on as an auction now so that won't happen again," said a spokeswoman for Britain-based Jet Art Aviation, which is selling the Harrier.

The elite fighting machine was part of Britain's arsenal in the 1982 Falklands War, but the government put the plane out of service in 1997.

Falklands War was fought in 1982 between Argentina and Britain over the disputed Falkland Islands, South Georgia and the South Sandwich Islands.

The US Marines still use a second-generation model of the Harrier.

Priyanka Chopra's facing a cash crunch?, priyanka chopra latest photos, priyanka chopra images

Guess who's having paisa problems these days? It's PC, of course, and we're not talking about the IT officials who raided 'poor' Priyanka's personal space.

It was meant to be an IT raid, but sadly, it raided into her personal space too (we're talking about Shahid...got the point?). PC was so eager to clean the IT mess and give a clarification to the media that she didn't count her words before shooting from the lip.

The gal who is supposedly one of the highest tax payers of last year, said, "I haven't even seen six crores at once, in my life." Hmmmm...though we would love to believe her, we know that she'd apparently charged a whopping amount (in crores) for starring in a big banner film last year. Priyanka, tumhe khoon maaf hai, jhoot nahi! Lol! For more Bollywood news and gossip, keep watching Planet Bollywood, everyday at 7 pm only on zoOm.

Tabu says "I am exclusive", I am exclusive, Tabu, Latest photos of Tabu, Actress Tabu Pictures

Tabu is on cloud nine. Shooting for Ang Lee's film in Pondicherry, the year began with some fabulous unexpected news for her. She's won the fourth highest civilian title - the Padma Shri. "And the feeling is still sinking in," she confesses.

"There's a certain ring to it isn't it? Padma Shri Tabassum Hashmi (yes, that's her full name)," she says with a broad smile. "Coming from a middle-class family in Hyderabad, I was an introvert. I chose to be the way I am. Today, when I look back at my long and meandering journey in tinsel town, it seems worth every moment of hard work. With no backing of a Godfather or any other man, this award celebrates my achievement as a single woman," she added.

The moment is also pregnant with hopes of newer initiatives apart from films in the near future. "I am taking small gaps in between my films to experience the other aspects of life. I will consider pursuing them, if it pays good money to me. Well, why not? I am not closed to any new ideas. But films are my first love," she announces.

Known as a private person, Tabu still prefers to remain in the midst of a chosen few. "I am not reclusive, I'm exclusive. With such a big population around us, does everyone open up to everyone else. In that scenario, I am in a majority," she laughs. Summing up all that has gone by in her life, she feels no one can predict the future but one must be objective enough in the present. "I've crossed many a cultural and gender barriers as a woman. I've always gone with the flow. Today, I stand tall and feel proud of my decisions. Tomorrow's another day. Masha Allah!" she ends.

Love, Lies, and the Drama of Facebook

I attempted to stay away from talking about Bristol on my blog recently but now I feel that I need to share something with all of you that has been happening behind the scenes.

You see I have a new man in my life and I could not be happier. In fact I have been so busy just being happy that I have not had time to write a post to share my good news with the visitors to my blog.

Anyhow without my knowledge Bristol has apparently gone behind my back and sent my boyfriend, Chris, lies about my good friend Jesse (Gryphen) and Dennis (Zaki) in an attempt to split us up.

Texting him things like "My brother is in the military, and I know you are a soldier as well. Since you are a patriot serving his country don't you think you deserve to hang out with a better class of people than somebody who would be friends with a pedophile?"

So I confronted Bristol about it on Facebook and here is the exchange. (P.S. You will have to excuse any spelling errors or punctuation mistakes, I was pretty upset when I wrote it.)

Mercede Johnston January 9 at 5:02pm

Bristol,

You are WAY out of line going out of your way to contact my boyfriend and spreading accusations. Mind your own business. Jesse has NOTHING to do with Chris. I've been leaving you alone and I expect if you do the same and stop going around talking shit about me in comments on Facebook. That's petty, immature, and what you are saying could not be further from the truth.

Just because you don't like who I associate with does not mean you have the right to try and bash him to my boyfriend. I don't know exactly what your intentions are but I would hope you could focus on other things instead of me or Jesse. Delete my boyfriends number, we don't need you trying to start stuff. I'm sorry if you aren't happy but we are beyond happy. You claim I'm "obsessed with you and your family" yet you are the one going out of your way to leave comments regularly degrading the aunt of your child and texting my boyfriend. You seriously need a reality check.

And one more thing Bristol. You said you feel sorry for Levi and Tripp because they are related to me by blood. Ha, well I know once Tripp gets older he will correct you. I know for a fact he loves me and will come to me when he is old enough to understand. You have no clue how good of an aunt I am to him because you can't look past all of that drama we had in our past. Which is so unfortunate because that's not what's best for Tripp. I hope one day you can put the past behind us for the sake of your son. As for Levi, he's lucky to have me as a sister and I am lucky to have him as a brother. You have no idea what you're talking about.

I have been civil with you and always will be, I can only hope one day that you will be too.

I sincerely hope you do have a good day and I really wish you'd talk with me as an adult.

Give Tripp my love.

Bristol Sheeran January 16 at 7:16am Report

You're are such a liar! You continue to amaze me with your compulsive lying and pure stupidity. You are no where near "civil" with me. You have a blog dedicated to talking shit. You are so strange and like I've said multiple times, you need to get a job, or a hobby, or something; you are obsessed with me! You stalk FACEBOOK all day everyday to see what I'm doing and saying to my friends!! Get a life girl, you can't stalk someone and except to live their life. Levi, your dad and I all agree you need something positive in your life. You can't continue having these weird, unusual and very very very strange relationships with psycho guys like griffin and zaki and then expect me to be ok with my son being around that. Hell no will Tripp every be around pedophiles and straight up STALKERS.

Myself, and thousands of others are praying for your sanity to come back soon.

Please stop sending messages and creeping on my life. Move on!

Since Bristol had accused me of stalking her on Facebook I e-mailed my response. 

Bristol,

The only thing I am guilty of lying about concerning you is how at first I agreed to tell the public that your pregnancy was a mistake. But you flipped the switch the second you found out you were pregnant and then you really had my brother right where you wanted him (and you started using the whole "you will never see your son, nephew, grandkid if you don't do what I say.") After that  I wasn't going to lie for you anymore. For you to call me stupid is completely and utterly ridiculous, but I wont get too involved in that subject. For you to claim that I am not trying to be civil with you is absurd! I have done EVERYTHING I possibly can to put the past behind us for the sake of your beautiful son who deserves ALL the love in the world from BOTH of his families. Even during that deposition you saw for yourself the depth of my emotions. There I was choking back sobs while trying to answer questions about my nephew and what did you do?? You rolled your eyes and smirked! When I do get to see Tripp, which is only like 5 times a year for a few hours if I'm lucky, the last thing I want is to have other people around because I want alone time to bond with my nephew like most aunts get. You need to start thinking logically and not irrationally. I wish you would just STOP making up excuses to dislike me.

My blog is NOT dedicated to "talking shit".

As I have said many times I have my blog to get my side of the story out because I would much rather type what I think and feel rather, then to have a ghost writer, or a reporter do it to make money, honey.

I don't know how you can call me strange, or how you even insist you know I don't have a "hobby. job, or something". If you knew anything you would know I have many hobbies, great friends, lots of support, and believe me it would be so much easier to get a job out here if it wasn't for your family. Unlike you I have other important things to do rather than traveling around preaching abstinence and earning thousands for doing so then coming home to which ever boyfriend it is this week and doing exactly the opposite of what you just lectured others not to do.

Bristol Sheeran Palin, the thing you said that bothered me the most was how I "stalk" your Facebook.

What a JOKE! I've looked at your page ONCE because I thought about adding you as a friend, but I knew you wouldn't accept because you just can't grow up and move on. Whichever of your friends are telling you I stalk your Facebook page are just trying to kiss your ass because they want a little fame from you. Soon, you will learn that. What do I have to gain from looking at your Facebook page? Nothing!

I do think I know what you mean by stalking on Facebook though and that would be all the comments you leave around OTHER peoples Facebook walls (Sometimes on your own if you're feeling risky) talking mad crap about me and trying to make me look bad by spreading false accusations or stating stuff you don't even have a CLUE about. At least before you start opening your mouth get the facts straight, because everything you say I can correct even quicker. Such as the immature and unnecessarily mean comments you left on April Morlocks, Tara Parez,...and lord only knows who else's Facebook page. I don't waste my time to go looking for them, but sometimes my friends will send them to me because they know that I have reached out to you and tried to be civil. And they have seen me tear up as I talk about my nephew.

That my dear is NOT called stalking! YOU Bristol are the one who has been going out of your way to add some of my friends to YOUR Facebook friend's list, spy on their FB pages and then immediately delete them. Or you have contacted them trying to spread false rumors in an effort to cause damage to friendships and to my relationship.

Therefore, once again you are being the biggest hypocrite I have ever met. Until tonight I have still tried to stick up for you because you are, and always will be, the mother of my nephew. But it is getting VERY hard for me to do that now that you are going to such great lengths in trying to turn people against me and to make stuff up. And especially after you attempted to cause turmoil between my boyfriend and I.

I just want you to stop and think for a moment Bristol. Have I ever gone out of my way to tell your boyfriends stuff about you that wasn't true? No.

Have I ever even contacted them (with the exception from my BROTHER)? No.

Was I really the one who took those pictures of your truck and Levi's truck outside your condo? NO, that was "YOUR FRIEND".  In fact probably the SAME friend who is feeding you all these lies about me.

After I e-mailed you wishing you and Tripp a Happy Halloween, and offered encouragement to you in the hopes that you could possibly ONE DAY get past all this middle school drama, THIS is the response you gave me.

"You have no access to me. Do not contact me again...."

Now if you meant that, why in the WORLD would you go out of YOUR way to talk crap about me ALL over Facebook and go WAY out of your way to contact my boyfriend to feed him a bunch of BS?

No matter how much you dislike me for the past, I have never done ANYTHING that should prevent me from seeing Tripp. NOTHING.

I  could understand if I was a felon, or a dangerous person, but I am a very kind person, and Tripp has my whole heart, so I just don't understand why you can't let it go? Or at least stop posting lies about me on Facebook claiming you feel sorry for Levi and Tripp because they share my blood. Because I know once Tripp is older he will be SO PROUD to be a JOHNSTON!

I think you honestly just have some deep insecurities, maybe because your mom wasn't around as much. I don't know. I would love to meet up, or call and talk to you about all of this but since you won't be mature enough to do that THIS is my last resort.
