Paris Hilton Shortlisted for Mother Teresa role

A sexy, promiscuous Mother Theresa? There go all my hot Hilton fantasies

Aaman is this a belated prank post or has the director seriously lost his marbles?

The mind boggles. A slut playing a saint. Well, well ... who knows, maybe she'll have a religious whatever & become a nun herself. Stranger things have happened, I suppose.

succinctly on s:

saints
sinners
sluts

s-it happens

He was apparently impressed when he read that Paris had refused to pose nude in Playboy magazine

Did he find out the reason behind that? Maybe lesser remuneration? or less show of skin than she wanted.

The question is, will she or won't she?

dude, is he serious?
man,...another naiive Indian...

Nothing naive about that Indian -- the guy knows how to make a movie that will sell. After all, he is making a movie of a person who was the master of marketing and selling. She marketed the miserable well enough to pretty much make hundreds of millions for the Vatican, putting herself on the sainthood track. Teresa was good, an absolutel genius. A person without mercy, she sold the image to the world that she is the absolute best. More about Teresa the Merciless here on my blog and here at my website.

So Atanu, basically, Paris will fit right into the role, you think?

Well, Atanu and I agree on one thing - this guy knows what he's doing. when a woman gets so famous for doing absolutely zilch that even malayalam film directors get to hear about her daily life, you know thats a woman you want to have in your flick. i wouldnt pay to see this in the theaters but i would rent it for a party with lots of friends and lots of alcohol. fun times...

Aaman, I am not familiar with the Paris Hilton's body (sic) of work but I guess this Rajeevnath guy knows a good thing when he sees it. Imagine the publicity -- a slut playing the role of a "saint". I guess some of the halo-ed devotees of "Saint" Teresa would go on a rampage about a slut playing the "Saint" and voila! "Free Publicity City" here I come. Some would be curious to see the movie not because of the "saint" but because of the great story of a sinner playing the saint.

Yessir, the guy is not your village idiot.

Acting as 'Mother' Teresa wudnt do any good to her cant-get-enugh-of-ur-body fans of Paris Hilton (like yours truly)
;)

Hmm...the first 'real' video she is shooting..he he he..

Aaman:) I just can't understand why the media played a.. blind role when she was alive...

He said, "The pictures will be my strength when I speak to Paris."
What strength is he talking about ?

He was apparently impressed when he read that Paris had refused to pose nude in Playboy magazine
What about almost nude, which she is quite often photographed being ?

Just of curiousity because my command of the english language is tenuous at best, but this sentence here:


I am not familiar with the Paris Hilton's body (sic) of work but I guess this Rajeevnath guy knows a good thing when he sees it.


Shouldn't it have been:

I am not familiar with the Paris Hilton's body (pun intended/no pun intended) of work but I guess this Rajeevnath guy knows a good thing when he sees it.

The issue here is not the English language, Aaman's article is very clear. We need the full exposure of all hidden information regarding MT in the open.

DrPolitics: You are getting me wrong here - please re-read my comment and see if you find anything about MT per se. I was just commenting that isn't the second construct more close to what Atanu is saying there.

Or maybe you are pulling my leg?

Vikas:) Safety lies in the middle course.

Vikas, by adding "(sic)" to "... Paris Hilton's body..." I indicate to the reader that I want to draw his or her attention to the word. Note that later in the sentence I write " ... knows a good thing when he sees it." The same idea at play. Anyway, all this is very tedious and somewhat akin to trying to explain a joke. The joke may be funny but explanation is not funny.

The "pun intended" bit can be overused, and can be insulting to the reader as well. In most cases I think it is overused. The reader should have the intelligence to figure out whether there is a pun and if the pun was intentional or not.

Here endth the lesson.

Atanu:

*[sic] or (sic) (from Latin sic for "thus"; see also list of Latin phrases) is a bracketed expression used to indicate that an unusual spelling, phrase, or any other preceding quoted material is intended to be read or printed exactly as shown (rather than being an error) and should not be corrected. ...


Lessons Learnt

1. Thou has used the word sic incorrectly for what thou intended - period.
2. Thou speaketh too much and thou listenth too little.
3. Thou gives out too many lessons but thou learns too little.
4. Thou needs a PhD in humbleness - but this time probably from Bareilley rather then B'kley.
5. Thou is insufferable with a huge chip on thou's shoulders. Possibly thou has taken the best blog award too seriously and thou is out to reform all fools. Thou should realize that charity begins at home.
