Universal Fire, Love Guru Under Fire. Trade Roughage 06/03/08

Oh, the sad irony: the Universal Studios fire, which destroyed the New York Street section of the backlot, was “caused by sparks from a blowtorch used to repair” that set. The theme park tram tour continued as scheduled yesterday, with visitors able to see the damaged facades (which will be rebuilt) up close.
Brad Pitt is “part of a team of consultants designing an 800-room, five-star hotel” in Dubai. “You can expect something that is not only stunning to look at but will also be an incredible attraction to visit or stay at,” Pitt promised in a statement. Or, somebody did––I can’t imagine that sentence coming out of Brad Pitt’s mouth.
Deepak Chopra says Hindus shouldn’t be mad about Mike Myers’ The Love Guru. This is the first I’ve heard about Hindus being mad about The Love Guru. Did this happen while I was in Cannes, or is the noise level on Love Guru news really that low?

“This is the first I’ve heard about Hindus being mad about The Love Guru.”

Oh man… I’ve been getting about an email a week for the last couple of months about this, but I haven’t covered it at all.

Considering what I’ve seen of the film I guess I be annoyed if I was Hindu as well.

I’ve been getting those emails, too, but I so successfully ignored them that I *just now* put together that they were about a Mike Myers movie. I actually read through one of them, and I guess they are.

If Paramount is sending *me* emails about this, they must be worried. But probably not about offended Hindus.

I dunno about Love Guru, but all I can think about that movie is ever gag in that trailer I’ve seen in some other Mike Meyers movie. Pass.
