Researchers have found the wild orgy gene

Ménage à trois? Wild orgies? One night stands? Who says science can't be sexy?

Certainly not Binghamton University researchers, who are hard at work uncovering the sultry secrets behind human sexual behavior.

The team - led by Dr. Justin Garcia - recently identified a dopamine receptor gene known as DRD4 that is purportedly linked to chronic infidelity and "uncommitted" one-night stands.

And wouldn't you know it?

The very same gene has already been linked to alcoholism, gambling addiction and a predilection for really bad horror movies.

Oddly enough, another study claimed the mysterious gene was responsible for political liberalism, along with "openness" to new social situations.

"What we found was that individuals with a certain variant of the DRD4 gene were more likely to have a history of uncommitted sex, including one-night stands and acts of infidelity," Garcia confirmed.

"The motivation seems to stem from a system of pleasure and reward, which is where the release of dopamine comes in. In cases of uncommitted sex, the risks are high, the rewards substantial and the motivation variable - all elements that ensure a dopamine 'rush.'"

Garcia also noted that individuals carrying the "thrill-seeking" gene were twice as likely to have a history of one-night stands as those without the variant.

"[Still], the study doesn't let transgressors off the hook. These relationships are associative, which means that not everyone with this genotype will have one-night stands or commit infidelity.

"Indeed, many people without this genotype still have one-night stands and commit infidelity. The study merely suggests that a much higher proportion of those with this genetic type are likely to engage in these behaviors," he added.

Kajal Aggarwal is Furious

‘I NEVER POSED TOPLESS’

Kajal Aggarwal is furious. The recent buzz that she had gone topless for a photoshoot for a men’s magazine has irked the actor. Kajal claims that the picture was distorted and she says, “I shot for the magazine, but not this way. They have photo-shopped the picture and changed it.”

The peeved actor says that she had never posed topless for the shoot. “I was wearing a black tube top while shooting. In fact, I still have the pictures that I shot in the tube top, which they sent for my approval. Moreover, I did not give them an interview,” she clarifies. Kajal is supposed to have said that she would never wear a bikini or do a kissing scene in the interview for the mag.

Kajal, who is currently shooting for the Tamil film Maatran, is upset with the final outcome of the pictures and the story. “I’m not the kind of person who would ever do a topless shoot. My reputation and work stands by me. Publishing a distorted version of the photo is wrong and unethical,” she states. The actor signs off by saying, “My team will take this up with the magazine.”

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Diary of a Single Girl

I’m looking forward to the usual tamasha...

So the fashion week starts. It’s going to be hectic — the meetings, fittings, the rehearsals, and finally the madness backstage. The bitching has already begun. Some are whining about curbing the partying to look their best on the ramp, others are moaning about why some models are being more than them, and some are cribbing about the very designers they will be walking for. Everyone has their own set of complaints. But almost everyone is pissed about a leading actress being the face of this fashion week.

Does Bollywood have to take over everything? And why couldn’t the bosses have picked an actress who is young and upcoming, if there was one needed? Does it have to be a 30-plus actress who is getting ready to bid adieu to tinsel town. She is already picking out her wedding trousseau.

Maybe she will get her trousseau free from one of the designers. We all know which one! It’s going to be a busy week. But I am looking forward to the usual tamasha. We models know how editors of top magazines call to get front row seats even though they know n o t h i n g ab o u t fashion. Socialites and actresses confirm a presence on conditions.

Then there are friends of ‘influential’ people from corporate sponsors who have their own VIPs, who need to be catered to. It’s all so predictable. Nothing ever changes. You just learn to laugh at it, or ignore it — like everyone ignores this model who has developed this habit for coke. No one talks about it. I don’t blame her. The pressure gets to you after a while. Once the novelty of walking down the catwalk and having flashbulbs go off in your face wanes, little else remains. No wonder, if you ever walk backstage before or after a shoot, you will breathe in funny-smoking air. It never gets better.

Last year, a good-looking actor, who hasn’t walked for years, strutted down the catwalk for his designer buddy in Delhi, and even though he’s so far away from the modelling scene, he still needs his daily fix of high. He’s using so much that it’s showing on his face. One never knows when you go from trying it, to enjoying it, to needing it. Yes, I have tried it all, but cut it out before I got addicted. I can give you a list of models and actors who need to check into rehab right now. But even their family or friends are afraid of suggesting it. And then one day, he or she will quietly overdose in their home and there will be tributes like the ones on Amy Winehouse in all the papers recently. Dead at 27.

There’s enough pressure as it is. We’ve seen two female models end their lives in the last few years, and there are more cases just waiting to happen. Most of these beautiful people who shine on the ramp are dark on the inside. Disillusioned and disconnected. Is it this world that breaks them? Or is it that the spotlight attracts these broken souls?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

A Love Triangle and a Steamy Bedroom Scene

Reason enough for the film adaptation of Saratchandra Chatterjee’s novel to be re-released ~ P Sangeetha

A critically acclaimed Bengali film is being marketed as Tamil soft-porn. Well, you heard that right. And the actor in the midst of the storm is none other than Reemma, who has impressed the audience with films like Minnale, Chellamey and the recent Aayirathil Oruvan.

The Kollywood industry is abuzz with the news that one of Reemma’s Bengali films, Iti Srikanta, which released in 2004, has been dubbed into Tamil as Ilavarasi and is being marketed as soft porn. The story of Iti Srikanta revolves around a man, who is torn between two women — Reemma and Soha Ali Khan. The film, which marked the debut of Soha Ali Khan in Bengali cinema, is a love triangle based on a novel by the legendary Bengali writer Saratchandra Chatterjee. The film directed by Anjan Das reportedly had a steamy bedroom scene which had Reemma in a comprising position. Sources say that the members of the Regional Censor Board, who saw the film, felt that the film did not suit family audiences because of the scene, and hence, gave it an A certificate. The posters of the film, (which is expected to hit screens soon), have triggered a lot of interest among the audience and Tamil distributors are lapping up the film, as it is expected to sell like hotcakes.

MORE FOR THE VOYEUR - The trend seems to be catching on in Kollywood. Amala Paul, one of the fast rising stars in Kollywood, whose movie, Deiva Thirumagal just hit the screens, is also in a fix. The actor, who made her debut in Tamil with the controversial Sindhu Samaveli, is upset that her maiden venture has been released again (with the same name), but this time as a soft-porn. The director of the film, Samy, claims that Amala’s picture in the provocative posters have been morphed and that he is clueless about the re-release of the film. We hear that the producer of the original, Michael Royappan, had sold the film to another person, who then released it again as soft porn.

Dare to Wear - Bizarre Shoes

Experimental shoe designer Annejet Kosters creates wild shoes designs that are more art than they are footwear. Take for example the toeless “The Golden Heel” pictured here. Not exactly what I would call practical.

For more from the Dutch designer, check out Annejet Kosters’ website for other wild shoe designs. Thanks to Barbara Schreiber at Britannica Blog for letting me know about these shoes.

“All asses were not created equal.”

That’s the memorable marketing phrase from the folks behind – ahem! – Levi’s® Curve ID, a new fit system for women’s denim. The words certainly resonated with New York-based fashion bloggers who recently attended an invitation-only event at the brand’s Soho store.

More than 150 bloggers were on hand. Each was educated on the unique fit system – which focuses on shape, not size. It was developed after the Levi’s® brand studied more than 60,000 body scans and spoke with women around the world of all shapes and sizes.

After being schooled, the female fashion bloggers received a fit session with a fit specialist – and a pair of jeans.

Did they like them? Judge for yourself:
"Levi’s just gave us their new Curve ID jeans. The fit is honestly amazing”
– Faran Krentcil, Nylonmag.com via Twitter
“The bold fit model has the most amazing back side I’ve ever seen. Pretty certain it’s the jeans!”
– Leah Chernikoff, Fashionista.com
“I’ve never owned a pair of jeans that haven’t gapped in the back…until tonight. These jeans feel custom made for my body.”
  – Claire Hamilton, WGSN.com
“I think it’s a really smart move for Levi's to focus on a women's figure instead of its size.”
– William Yan, WilliamYan.com
