about that change and the talented actor will stop playing Dr Jekyll Mr Hyde by playing the thought provoking sensitive male one minute and the overweight village bully the next.
And while we're at it, can we please add that Shaan should also wake up to technology and realize the convenience of sending promotional CDs of his next film instead of hard copies as big as table mats (that Instep received from his Production house during the promotion of his last film Zilay Shah). Technology, Shaan, will make your life easier as well as ours!

Most of Pakistan's new fashion models
"I will exercise and not depend on diuretics and starvation to lose weight and look young."

At the risk of invoking the wrath of the industry by adding "and stop modeling when we hit 35", we do hope Pakistan's fashion models write out this resolution and paste it on the door of their medicine cabinets (as they rarely visit their refrigerators). We have seen one show too many with models that are over-age and under nourished. Skin and bones do not make for good skin tone whereas youth and a healthy lifestyle does. And it is the healthy glow and flawless skin that one desires to see…fashion photographers would surely agree. Joining a gym would be a good idea. We've seen girls with terrible skin stepping into advertisements for skin products. But then in print Photoshop always works its wonders and the click of a mouse is always more powerful than the brush of a styling wand, even if that wand is in the hands of the most competent stylist.
And while the models are at it (writing resolutions), can all of those who are either 'mature' or married please stop posing as blushing brides?

which is in fact very good. The rock star's current album suffered a whiplash as Mr Ali Azmat was just too cool and confident to bother promoting it. Where most musicians hold press conferences and organize tours to spread the word and build the hype, Ali left the country when it was time for his album's release.

Dino
"I will not inflict more torture on the people of Pakistan as they are going through enough already!"
2008 was a year that may have brought democracy to Pakistan but slowly and gradually it stripped the country of other bare necessities like food supplies, wheat, electricity, gas (Lahore witnessed an unprecedented dose of gas load shedding) and even petrol towards the end. Now in times like these, all one could rely on for entertainment was a good old reliable radio. But it appeared that to many people, the punishment of silent solitude was preferable to the punishment they would be meted out on radio: having to bear endless hours of RJ and now the proud owner of one album Dino, raving on and on about his vocal skills and subjecting his listeners to hours and hours of his music. We hope that this year Dino will realize that music is not his cup of tea and he will vow to have mercy on the people of Pakistan who go looking for some relief on the radio. And while he's at it, maybe he should reconsider his new look. He most certainly isn't a star but if he's going to plaster himself everywhere then we'd prefer him to have at least some semblance of style and begin by stop trying to look like a Justin Timberlake clone.
