Classic ToI
There have been many instances where the editors at Times of India have been caught napping. Here [Link] is one such instance which proves exactly that.
The articles is trying to convey that Kareena Kapoor is going great guns in her career. The author obviously new to the job is making an all out effort to use metaphors and words right out of his high school english textbook.
Thus we have phrases like "She’s looking like a million dollars these days". Her skimpy outfits may make her tempting to a few lusty eyes, but words fail me when someone says she looks like "a million dollars".
The article goes on to say "anyone would be on Cloud 9. But Bebo is surely higher than that". Huh?
The article then abruptly starts mentioning about fitness and working out. Just when you thought the article was meandering out of it's territory, our smart author pulls it back with a smartest pun ever - "everything seems to be working out right for me".
The article following this about Sanjay Dutt tries to do better. It says "Sanju is a perfect example of men who are tough on the inside, soft as a pancake on the inside".

blame the media for pampering the film stars, and they consider themselves God's gift to mankind.
