Naveen on the Billboard Music Awards

I wasn’t really paying attention to the Billboard Music Awards until my browndar started dinging rather violently; I looked up and saw “Lost” actor Naveen Andrews with BMA host LL Cool J.

Again, left-coast dwellers, avail yourself of such notice and tune in to this gaudy, noisy bit of television fluff towards the end if you want some chocolate goodness.

I really feel like I’ve seen him in that suit before; probably because I’m not a fan of the six-to-close button look, so it’s memorable.

I get that it’s all rock-and-ROLL, so I’m not expecting black-tie, but I wish he had tied his hair back. Eh, wouldn’t have mattered. I like my Naveens clean-shaven. Oooh, lawdy chile…I need me a cold drink after clicking THAT link. 😉

  1. You don’t have to know how to say it, Bongsie, you just have to know how to be it 😉

    How about “Pendoosexual” — for that lungi-wearing, just-been-herding-the-buffalos-and-parked-my-tractor-in-the-driveway look ?

    The nonchalantly-tied turban and sweaty beard will satisfy those female Mutineers here who’ve expressed a soft spot for a bit of ruff.

    (Hey, we’re back to talking about beards again).

  2. damn those colored contacts .. I used to get “pretty eyes” … now I just get “are those contacts?”

    Sonia – that’s your natural eye color? I too assumed contacts …

  3. I didn’t, there’s a huge difference between clear and contacts. With contacts you have two overlapping iris patterns, and the eyes look muddy.

    Sonia’s right, widespread mimicry muddies the signal for those with naturally-occurring attributes (e.g. blond hair and breast size).

  4. sikhs do that weird “smelling” thing, too?? wow, all those elderly mallu relatives weren’t strange.

    i fully admit to sniffing those beards. I know many sardars who just have wonderful smelling beards. it’s a good thing! it means that most likely, there is some good hygiene being put forth there! i loovvveee a nice smeling beard, and encourage it.

    omg, a mouthful of facial hair while kissing is just GROSS. Boys, keep it clean. Unless you have no chin (like Eric Clapton), in which case you do need a beard.

    woahhh…..i wouldn’t say that at all. facial hair provides extra fun – nothing quite like getting kissed by big soft moustache/beard! besides, more to love! and the look of facial hair is just wow…

    and where’s poor rabbi shergill and waris ahulwalia in all this? they’re absolutely adorable. yeeps…

    pattie faints, as she can be heard sighing…

  6. ok, you guys got me on dr. sanjay gupta and that lovely reporter on cnn….which just porves that both are fine, though give me muzzie and beards any day!

  8. YESSS! ANEESH RAMAN! THAT’S THE OOONNENEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!! OOOH, is he ever! I can NEVER and i mean NEVER watch CNN the same way again, but i ca surely thank them for putting him on. And I can hide my HUGE resulting grins from certain other members of the household..lol! oh, he DOES do magic…thay guy is absolutely spellbinding! Thanks for that wee reminder!

  10. [it’s the manscaped crap i can’t stand: the weird sideburns, the so(lame) patch, the goatee et al. i associate meeshas/moustaches with mamooty and my dad’s generation]

    hear hear, anna.

    i love the 5 o’clock shadow, tho. its très HOTT
