Twitter Alert: Bigg Boss

For some, it doesn’t matter that “Baywatch” star Pamela Anderson is appearing on Indian reality show “Bigg Boss 4” and Bollywood filmmaker Pritish Nandy still feels Veena Malik remains the hottest house mate.

“Well, I still think Veena Malik is the hottest inmate of Bigg Boss’s house. Too much tamasha over a jaded, boring, over-the-hill Pamela,” Nandy posted on Twitter.

Pritish Nandy is not alone obsessing over “Bigg Boss” on the social networking site. The TV show is a topic of debate for Indian celebrities.  Actor turned host Mandira Bedi wrote on Twitter about the government asking Colors TV to change the broadcast timings for “Big Boss”, “I haven’t always been in concurrence with some of the previous criteria for censorship. But this, I think is a good call by the I&B (information and broadcasting) ministry. In contrast, ‘KBC 4’ (Kaun Banega Crorepati) is clean wholesome entertainment with a highly respectful host and rates brilliantly. Now that’s good television.”

Golfer Tiger Woods is reaching out to fans with a new Twitter account. “It’s about time that I made a connection to the fans that have been absolutely incredible to me over the past year,” he told ESPN Radio on Thursday.
