The Children Of Mumbai Love The Pussycat Dolls Remix Of "Jai Ho"

Aww. What a wonderful celebration of love, music, abject poverty, and aerobic stripper dances! MY FAVORITE PART IS THE NEW NOKIA WITH A TOUCHSCREEN INTERFACE!

a) he cheated
b) he's lucky
c) he's a genius
d) it was written
e) it was texted from the new Nokia with a touchscreen interface

I hope it comes with the iSuicide app pre-installed.

The Dolls recently shot the video for the tune in an abandoned train station museum in Vienna , Austria, in the middle of a blizzard. "Somehow the energy and love of the songs shined through and it was as if we were just an extension of where the movie took off at the end," [Nicole] Sherzinger says.

Brrrr! It's just like that part in the movie when the young Jamal jumped through a hole at the bottom of an outhouse and fell into a pit of fur coats and thongs. Nicole Sherzinger is right, this is a total extension of where the movie took off at the end. They should basically get an Oscar for Best Extension of Where a Movie Took off at the End because of how this is just perfect.


"We hope one day to give up our lives of desperate prostitution to pursue our dream of athletic burlesque."


"This new Nokia with a touchscreen interface is delicious!"

Dear The Pussycat Dolls,

Have fun at dinner.

Hate,
Everyone.

P.S. We like your tie.

It's a shame that her last name already has "zing" in it.

An "abandoned train station museum in Vienna, Austria"? Train station to Mauthausen?

This fills me with seething rage. The Pussycat Dolls are like Alzheimer's disease. They slowly sap away your happiness.

First, you see Slumdog Millionaire in theaters and come out grinning, because it was great. Then you hear a rumor they might do something to cover it, and you're like "Uh oh, I don't believe you though". Then it wins Best Picture and Best Song, so you're at the peak of happiness! And then, you see that Videogum has posted a snippet of the song, and you go "oh shit", and then it's up on iTunes and you're like "oh more shit", but then the user reviews slam it so you're like "oh, ok, thank god!" (kind of like those days your grandmother actually remembers who you are).

And then you see the video, and then you see that Jay Ho is outselling Jai Ho, and the combination of those factors are like your brain forgetting to tell you to breathe so you choke on your own throat.

Thanks, Pussycat Dolls, I'm choking on my own throat.

I recently went to an exhibit in Chelsea called and think if everyone saw it, we would never have to see/hear the Pussycat Dolls again.

I'll be okay with this if all of the Pussycat Dolls can take, and pass, a test examining the cinematic merit of Slumdog Millionaire. Or, if they can spell either of the title words correctly. But I doubt it.

Has anyone besides me noticed that she mispronounces "Jai Ho?"

If there were pools for this sort of thing, I would bet so much of my life savings on Girl Talk sampling this or O Saya for his next album.

Obviously, the most enraging thing about this video is the fact that they're waving red scarves instead of yellow scarves.

YOU BITCHES EVEN SEE THE MOVIE???

My only objection to them and buses is that they are not under the buses.
