Young Slumdog Millionaire Actress Is Not For Sale (Anymore?)
Slumdog Millionaire was such a hit that everybody associated with it now earns an extra 17 zeros on the end of any paycheck they ever receive. Seriously - everyone's box office value has increased exponentially. Also their value in the black market slave trade slightly increased too. That's why when some potential daughter-buyers recently offered the father of Rubina Ali Qureshi $300,000 for his now somewhat famous daughter, he cut off a lock of Ali's hair for his wife's memory book and wished the child well in her new life cruising Nile river-ports. Or something along those lines.

Things That You Must Like, Including The Wire…
Look at you. Are those plimsolls? Actual plimsolls? Are they ironic plimsolls? Or just normal plimsolls? Are you poor? Or just pretending? Think before you answer, because should they be anything but ironic, and society - cool society, where people like Pixie Geldof and Henry Holland live - will turn its back on you. It's a cruel, unforgiving place - society. It dictates that grown adults should peacock about town with their skinny jeans damn-near squashing their balls, and everyone actually seems to like Lady Ga Ga. And Lady Ga Ga is a total cretin, by the way. But they buy her singles with their iTunes for their iPods. They love her. They also like stonewashed jeans. With survival in mind, here are four things you should at least claim to like, unless you fancy getting completely ostracised by your so-called friends:

Danny Boyle Asked To Nause Up James Bond Some More
As the Oscar-winning director of Oscar-winning Slumdog Millionaire, Danny Boyle can make any film he likes. And he might have chosen a really crappy one. Apparently, Danny Boyle is thinking about directing the next James Bond movie, even though a) the last Bond film was so awful that we wanted to kick our own eyes out about 15 minutes in, b) a monkey could direct a Bond film and c) if you give Danny Boyle millions of dollars, he'll give you back a giant turd. Still, following up an Oscar win with a Bond film didn't hurt Halle Berry's career. Oh.

Slumdog Millionaire’s Dev Patel Does Who Wants To Be A Millionaire
If a movie does well, it reaps shedloads of benefits for its director, producers and actors. Slumdog Millionaire is no exception. It’s been nominated for every award, won most of the awards and will probably win more awards in a special Slumdog Millionaire award ceremony in April. Because the film is literally about a young boy from the Mumbai slums who becomes a millionaire, a quick witted person has decided to make Dev Patel go on Who Wants To Be A Millionaire for real. If film stars are getting their performances turned into reality, can we sort organise a private boating holiday for Kate Winslet and Leonardo DiCaprio?

Oscars: Slumdog Millionaire Wins (Yay), Also Sean Penn (Boo)
Oh Oscars, how could you? Up in chihuahua heaven, little Loki Rourke is in floods. Floods. Are you happy now? You'd better be. Because, even though he's won every single other award on the face of the Earth for The Wrestler, the Oscars have just decided to snub Mickey Rourke and give the Best Actor trophy to Sean Penn. Honestly Oscars, when Mickey Rourke goes off the rails again and ends up starring in Sylvester Stallone's Get Carter 2, the blood will be on your hands. Also, Slumdog Millionaire won a bunch of Oscars, which is a great surprise to... oh, nobody.

Slumdog Millionaire Wins All The BAFTAs. All Of Them.
If you believe that the BAFTAs act as a bellweather for the Oscars, then Slumdog Millionaire will win all the Oscars. Also, the Oscars are going to be really bloody drizzly. Because that happened at the BAFTAs too. But anyway, Slumdog Millionaire was the big winner at last night's BAFTA awards, scooping Best Film, Best Director, Best Music, Best Cinematography, Best Editing and Best Adapted Screenplay. Why? Because it's principally British? No. Well, yes. A bit. But Slumdog Millionaire wasn't the only thing to leave the BAFTAs with anything. We left with the onset of trenchfoot. Eat that, Dev Patel.
