| Voting by SMS makes reality show judges redundant: K.K in Goa Posted: 15 May 2010 08:22 AM PDT Voting by SMS makes professional judges in reality talent hunt shows redundant, veteran singer K.K. said Saturday.
'I was a part of a (reality talent hunt) show called 'Fame Gurukul' a long time back. We as judges felt pointless because we could not do any good for the contestants even if we wanted… Maybe TV channels will have to draw a line say around 40 to 50 percent judging to be done by SMS votes and the rest by those trained professionals, who can make good decisions,' K.K., who has rendered several hit Bollywoods, said. 'TV is a medium for the masses. They are not doing these shows to bring out talent alone. TV channels are looking for entertainment,' K.K. said, adding that during his stint as a judge at 'Fame Gurukul', the producers of the show goaded him to be more aggressive in his avatar as a mentor. 'The TV channels want you to be aggressive in these shows,' K.K., who has sung nearly 3,500 jingles and 500 Hindi songs, said. Courtesy:Buzz |
| ‘Cop’ nabbed for highway robbery in Goa Posted: 15 May 2010 03:49 AM PDT An individual posing as a policeman and robbing motorists of their money on highways by nightfall has been nabbed by the Agassaim police. Acting on a complaint filed by Kanhaiya Naik of Vasco, the Agassaim police team led by police inspector (PI) Vishwesh Karpe arrested Augustinho Carvalho, 26, an unemployed youth from Majorda. Carvalho was arrested when he came to meet his wife at Agassaim early Friday morning. Naik, in his complaint, had told the police that he was driving his ice-cream supply vehicle and had gone to Neura to drop his co-worker. While returning, he was stopped opposite Father Agnel’s ashram, Pilar, on Thursday night at 9.45 pm by an unknown motorcyclist under the pretext that the driver of the tempo had almost dashed against his bike. The motorcyclist said he was a police and demanded documents. While Naik was showing him the documents, he snatched a bag containing Rs 14,000 and rode away with the money. Upon Naik lodging a complaint, the police swung into action as they suspected that the accused could be Carvalho who, incidentally, has been involved in similar crimes in the past. “We have arrested Augustinho and he has confessed of the crime”, said DySP Deu Banaulikar. The accused also told the police that he had looted another person in Old Goa recently of Rs 10,000 in a similar manner. “He would rob from innocent people in this fashion and spend the money in casinos. He was unemployed and was used to an easy life,” added police sources. Courtesy:TOI |
