With the news that Elizabeth Banks will play Laura Bush in Oliver Stone's movie on President George W. Bush titled "W", we're looking into other ties between politics and movies. We have to admit that the following struck even us as odd.
According to the Economic Times of India, Pakistan's new Prime Minister Yousuf Raza Gillani became a big fan of Bollywood star Aishwarya Rai while in prison.
Aishwarya, now Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, appears in Jodhaa Akbar and the upcoming Pink Panther 2 with John Cleese. It's not clear whether Gillani was forced to watch the Bollywood star or whether it was his choice. We're thinking it was the latter.
