It’s intriguing that every song Imran Khan sings becomes a smash hit. What is even more fascinating is a fact which one has only just discovered recently: Wikipedia describes him as a “Pakistani Punjabi singer from The Hague, Holland”. That somebody with his roots in Pakistan has become a party favourite is actually quite cool.

Imran Khan rose to fame with his super hit single ‘Ni Nachleh’ in 2007, an infectious tune that had everyone dancing and grooving to its ‘Punjabi gansta’ rhythm, and was being played all over the world. Read the rest of this entry »

More on the celeb-Haiti front. John Travolta just got back from the quake-shaken nation where he had taken aid supplies, doctors and ministers and followers of the Church of Scientology. Yes we know, total WTF moment. The enthusiastic Scientologists taught quake victims the ‘Touch Assist’ (TA) technique which they believe can help the nervous system to reconnect.

While Travolta was noticeably absent from the Hope For Haiti Telethon, as he was at a Living Legends of Aviation awards ceremony (where fellow Scientologist Mr Tom Cruise was honoured), he did make a statement revealing his aid plans for Haiti.

“We sent a plane down already,” said Travolta, “and we’re sending another one down Monday, and I’m flying, I’m looking forward to that.”

Let’s pick our favourite bits from the story so far: well, the first would of course be Tom getting some kind of aviation award. We think he needs something to console him as rumour has it that Katie Holmes has managed to formally separate from him as well as gain custody of Suri. Months down the line we might see them playing happy families again, but for now we bask in Katie’s triumph, if this rumour is true.

The other bit we love is the whole Touch Assist thing. According to reports from Haiti, gregarious Scientologists camped out by the airport spent their days teaching Haitian men how to do the whole TA thing and spread the knowledge in exchange for money or food.

One volunteer remarked,

“we fill holes, we’re there where people need us, and if people need a hug, then we give them that too.”

Hey guys! Remember Saleem Javed? Actually, how can you not? The man who covered Ahmed Rushdie’s ‘Dil Ko Jalana’, so, um, unforgettably, that, that is the version we actually remember, is now an “aging metrosexual” (Link) and has been joined in his mission to entertain through music by his son, Shezan aka Joji.

This picture is from a very recent show in Dubai organized by the Pakistani community there. Joji really impressed the audience with his vocal talent and Saleem astounded one and all by appearing almost as young as his son! Actually, we have to admit Saleem looks way younger than he did in his ‘Jugni’ days, when he was on the scary side of pudgy.

Joji has recently returned home after obtaining a diploma in Engineering and Music Production from Canada. He says he has been encouraged by the fact that his father believed in him and sent him abroad to pursue higher education.

Joji’s debut album is in the works, and we eagerly look forward to discovering what Saleem Javed’s son will sound like!

Did you know that some pseudo-scientists pinpointed January 18 as this year’s most depressing day? As we gaze out from the Engadget mansions at the leafless trees and listless mood outside, we can’t help but agree that January’s a bit of a downer. So to pep yourself up geeky style, why not grab an all-new Tengu Black? It seems a faithful reproduction (i.e. identical but for the color) of the white Tengu, a USB plug-in device that listens to your music and tries to lip sync to it with its LED array contorting into “over 14 different facial expressions.” Let’s face it, with the Robot Apocalypse all but assured, we should be practicing our love of inanimate objects as much as possible. A video reminder of how the older Tengu does its thing awaits after the break.
