I'd like to hear about corrupt starlets.

I have pretty much zero interest in Western stars, but for some reason I'm fascinated by the horrible poo poo that happens with other countries.

(Allegedly) pretty much every starlet in Korea has to engage in sex with older men to stay in the business. The Chaebols in Korea control pretty much every industry and market in the country, and unless you are one other those lucky statlets who managed to get massively famous out of nowhere and have incredibly devoted fans, you're going to have to do whatever the creepy old men want. There have been a lot of suicides in the Korean entertainment industry, and pretty much none of them have ever left a suicide note. The general feeling is that they all have handlers who keep tabs on them, and whenever a suicide does happen, they get there before the police and make sure any mention of "I had to sleep with so many old men to keep my status" is gone before they arrive.

The most famous example was Jang Ja-yeon in 2009 who did leave a suicide note and pretty much confirmed what everyone already knew about the "additional duties" Korean starlets had to undertake to keep working.

" In her suicide note, Jang Ja-yeon, describes how she was beaten and forced to entertain and have sex with several program directors, CEOs and media executives, that caused debate about relations in the entertainment industry, and also a police investigation into her management agency. Jang claimed that her agent Kim Sung-hoon according to South Korean reports, had regularly beaten her and forced her to have sex with a string of VIPs, including directors, media executives and CEOs. her agent Kim Sung-hoon, denied the accusations, who was at that time was in Japan, and was later, was arrested in Tokyo, Japan in June 2009 because of overstaying his visa."

Yes, it's all the same. USA is no different, and it's well-known that child actors/actresses (including Disney) are severely damaged in the process and that's why they grow up all crazy.

India is very sexually conservative to a degree, despite everyone wanting sex as humans do and many people getting it, but it's very hush-hush and actually quite difficult for people to get around to doing. Many hotels will not rent rooms to unmarried couples, and younger people might even be asked to provide a marriage certificate even if they say they are married. I lived in one place where I could have easily had someone come and go without being noticed, but Indians neighbors LOVE to gossip and an Indian guy probably wouldn't have been able to get away with it for long.
Frankly, I don't even know how they do get away with it in many places unless it's some perfect setup like an apartment right near some stairs where other people can't hear or see your door being opened. College kids might drive wa out into the sticks to try to have sex in a small car. Unless everyone living in the building is under age 30 and unmarried, good luck trying to shame-free bring someone home.
The last house I lived in there, and will probably rent again next time, is deep in the middle of small houses around with serious neighborhood watch system going on (for thieves, even though it's a very safe good city and area), and if an Indian girl tried to come over at any point, day or night, people would gossip the gently caress out of it and my landlord would eventually hear and start questioning about our marriage or kick me out. Unless she was white, and then nobody would care. I had a white girl there before and people assumed she was my sister or cousin.

Anyway, Bollywood starlets, like many other Asian starlets, are supposed be "pure" but moreso than other Asian countries. The joke is that, like any other entertainment industry, these girls are not getting parts or roles unless they bang whoever is in charge and also paying for it. The directors, producers, casting directors, bank rollers, or even their co-stars. Despite Bollywood (and politics and business in India) relying heavily on nepotism, even the kids of these famous people are subjected to having to be plunged for roles. Bollywood is barely allowed to show kissing, but behind the scenes it's an orgy.

The guy I know that worked in Bollywood for decades, who is retired now, told me that even from his start in the 70s, it was normal for pretty much all women who wanted a future to bang someone. India has an intense daily nap culture that puts China's to shame, because small shops and most parts of the city are completely shut down from about 2pm to 5pm as everyone eats and then sleeps right where they work. It's common to see people pull out futons or straw mats or even cots and then pass out. Richer people have smaller sleeping rooms, and my friend said all of these Bollywood guys have a small "sleep" room connected to their office with a bed for testing out pre-hires. He said any women on screen is going to be this way and ok with it, and he thinks it's hilarious that the "heroes" (Bollywood male actors) are sometimes also getting plowed themselves and then marry these famous actresses and look like model couples while having their entire careers based on nepotism and being hosed behind the scenes. It's funny to him, because these people are looked up by the cinema-loving public as some of the prime examples of Indian greatness (they REALLY love their famous people there), but it's all lie. The most famous actors and actresses can't ever act worth drat, but they look good and that's all that counts. They're all loving each other like rabbits, married or not, and it's just part of the job.

There was a change in the 2000s when they started shooting abroad more often, as well as hiring white girls for the background dancers. Russian prostitutes, or "dancers" (many of them actually being dancers IRL too) are common all over Asia, but very, very common in India now. Instead of hiring Indians for the dance numbers, it's easier to get a bunch of leggy Russians and Eastern Europeans to do it and have no problem getting banged and paid for work.

Indians, usually the uneducated, put a lot of faith in their movie stars and often stand behind their favorite ones no matter what. Salman Khan's hit-and-run trial was a big one for them, when a long time ago he drunkenly took the wheel of his vehicle and made his driver sit elsewhere, and went for a joyride on the sidewalk and killed several homeless people. I say long-ago, because Indian trials commonly take 10, 20, 30 or more years to finish because the bribes and payments to post-pone and change verdicts or murder witnesses and destroy evidence means it just goes and goes. Indian court system is one of the most convoluted on the planet, and fact that it is entirely run on bribes means the most crooked win. There was a huge political trial recently, the name escapes me, where it took so long for it to start moving that it was really easy to regularly murder the key witnesses and destroy evidence so that there was no outcome against those accused. It's very easy to bribe or threaten the victims so they'll testify like "LOL, I have no idea, I don't remember any of this. You guys are silly." It's like out of any mafia cliche court trial, but it's real and happens every day.

Anyway, the Salman Khan trial, or "Bhai" (brother) as people now jokingly call him, was a big deal for a lot of movie fans and a huge amount of idiots stood behind him in his innocence and "it was all a mistake, bhai." If someone were to come out and say Aishwarya Rai was sucking tons of dicks to keep her career going, nobody would believe, and the person who said it, even if they had video evidence, would probably be lynched. Indian celebrities in movies, sports, and singing have rabid followers that are a throwback to days of Michael Jackson appearing in front of fainting and bawling fans. Bollywood appears very innocent in a lot of ways to many people, but it's all built on corruption, sex, and bribery. I was told that when politicians weren't satisfied with bribes to film or avoid taxes, they were allowed a go at the famous girls because it all comes with being famous. It's no different from anywhere else, but there's this tacky "sweet" veneer over the industry that makes it such a joke. At least in Hollywood we know these people are all coke heads and awful human beings in general, but many in India don't realize that for their own industry. It's not saying they are dumb, because a lot of educated Indians think it's a all a joke, but they haven't reached that level with so many famous people being serious assholes in public yet to expose it. The irony is that Sunny Leone, a porn star, became a huge actress there because of some Indian ancestry and the men love her because they can watch her on the big screen and then go home and jerk off to her porn videos.

Where do you get shoes? Just wait til you're back in the US and stock up? My feet aren't big and even I have trouble finding shoes here sometimes, I'm a 43 chinese size and that seems to be about the limit for size most places stock.
