Big B irked at sudden removal of Abhishek’s AV from World Earth Day event

By now its common knowledge that Amitabh Bachchan was engulfed in a controversial situation last week when he attended the opening ceremony of the second phase of the Bandra-Worli Sea Link in Mumbai. Apparently, a certain prominent political party was upset at Bachchan’s presence at this high profile event especially after him promoting Gujarat tourism.

Not one to react unnecessarily to any situation, Big B has maintained a stoic calm even in this situation. However, things took an ugly turn on Saturday when in a strange turn of events, Abhishek Bachchan’s specially recorded AV was removed from the event to create awareness about the World Earth Hour. This has not gone down well with Big B who has openly expressed his displeasure on his blog.

Writes Big B, “You are perhaps aware that Abhishek has been appointed the WWF (World Wildlife Foundation) ambassador for Earth Day, a campaign that has been initiated by WWF for the preservation of the earth. Many ads in the press have been announcing, with his photograph in place, that on the 27th of March let the entire country observe a simple ritual of putting off the electricity in their homes for an hour from 8.30 PM to 9.30 PM. At the India Gate on Rajpath a ceremony is being held today (27 March) to announce the campaign and to make people aware of this most noble cause. An audio visual has been prepared with Abhishek where he is seeking a pledge towards preservation of the Earth and requesting people to switch off their lights for an hour. The Chief Minister of Delhi, Mrs. Sheila Dixit, and a prominent member of the ruling Congress Party, is attending the moment. A few hours before the show was to start apparently the audio visual featuring Abhishek has been asked to be removed and banner posters bearing his photograph as Ambassador have been stopped from being displayed!!

I wonder why?? Abhishek, who has been working so hard on the cause, is obviously disappointed, especially since he had worked late into the night where he was shooting out of town to accommodate this creative!! And I wonder. Am I hallucinating, or is there a pattern in all this!!!??”

Even Junior Bachchan who went all out to promote this Noble cause on the occasion of World Earth Day seemed upset by this move.

Like Big B says, one wonders if this move has been guided by ulterior political motives. Your guess is as good as ours!

Bobby Frankel Dies At 68

Bobby Frankel updates, Bobby Frankel Dead: Frankel Dies Of Cancer At 68.

Bobby Frankel, who won the 2003 Belmont Stakes with Empire Maker, has died after a long bout with cancer. He was 68.

Jockey agent Ron Anderson said Frankel died early Monday at home in Pacific Palisades. Frankel had been running his stable by phone for most of the year while he was undergoing treatment.

Frankel began his training career by turning lowly claiming horses into stakes winners, and wound up with earnings of more than $200 million.

“He started at the bottom and worked his way to the top of our profession,” said Anderson, who booked riders on horses trained by Frankel over the years. “He was a very kindhearted person that had people that worked for him for 20, 30 years, which is almost unheard of around the racetrack.”

Frankel enjoyed his greatest success this decade, winning four consecutive Eclipse Awards as the nation’s leading trainer from 2000-2003, and five overall. He oversaw a nationwide string of horses, with Khalid Abdullah-owned Juddmonte Farms as one of his major clients.

Frankel won his only Triple Crown race with Empire Maker in the Belmont, dashing the Triple Crown bid of Funny Cide, who had won the Kentucky Derby and Preakness Stakes.

Frankel, who was twice divorced, is survived by his grown daughter Bethenny, who has appeared on the Bravo reality series “Real Housewives of New York City.”

Leah Lust, Tiffany Shepherd

Tiffany Shepherd as Leah Lust became a minor Internet sensation a bit more than a year ago when she lost her job teaching biology at Port St. Lucie High over her second job, serving drinks as a bikini mate on a fishing charter (shown at left).

Fifteen months later, she’s still unable to snare another teaching job. She has lost custody of two of her children, and she has been evicted from two apartments.

So Shepherd has turned to another profession where her looks matter most. She’s now starring as Leah Lust in porn films. Page2Live.com, a Palm Beach-area gossip Web site, caught up with Shepherd to talk about her latest turn.

“I’m not particularly proud of it. To be honest, I hate it,” Shepherd told the site. “I’m an educated woman, but I never thought it would come to this. No one gets brought up thinking they’ll be a floozy.”
