Hi sunshines,
Y'all know how serious I am. Deeply so. This blog after all stands for academic discourse, diatribes [And other tribes... - Ed.], analysis of the in-depthest kind.
So it's with great 'whoo-hoo-ness' [Just making up words, we are, today! *not impressed* - Ed.] that I introduce you to Gossip Guy's lesser-spotted celebrity Q&A, The Incredibly Pointless Q&A. Today's victim star is Isidingo's Leeanda Reddy (Priya). You might should also remember her from roles on Scandal! (Vanashree) and Mr Bones (Reshmi) amongst others. One day soon someone will offer her a role where she doesn't have to wear a sari or use an Indian name, but in the meantime here's what Leeanda has to say about skimpy lingerie, J.Lo being dumb, bad boys and getting Greece out fo debt.
Name your top five favourite celebrity crushes:
- Leo DiCaprio tops the list always! I've always been loyal to him.What's not to love from this side of the screen - he is gorgeous, talented and so mysteriously low-profile.
- Robert Downey Jnr – Just a rough bad boy that's supremely talented!
- Denzel Washington – his walk, his talk...irreplaceable in my eyes.
- Sendhil Ramamurthy – he plays the geneticist on the series Heroes and well he's just beautiful and perfectly chiselled.
- Itumeleng Khune – the Kaizer Chiefs goalkeeper. He really is lovely. Sportsmen, rugged wild things...it doesn't matter if they don't utter a word, they just have to be amazing at what they do and look good doing it.
Complete the sentence: I would never, ever… give up chocolate.
What do you wear to bed?
I'm a seasonal night dresser. In Summer, anything minimalist like lingerie, little strap goodies and short thingies with lots of lace and satin. Winter gets a bit hectic. I go hobo and sometimes even granny (I am from the East Coast after all and am still warming up to Jozi winters). So it's trackpants, long shapeless shirts, t-shirts on top of shirts, thick fuzzy socks...and you would think this would be a turn off right? Mmph!
If you could trade places with any other celebrity for 24 hours, who would you choose?
Jennifer Lopez. She is superhot right now and is always looking amazing. Her body, her clothes, her business savvy - she really is the whole package. But I reckon she's not the sharpest tool in the shed so she must have a kickass team behind her. So that's the team I would like to spend a day with.
If you could have any 2 super-powers, what would they be?
To fly like Superman (I'm impatient and I hate traffic) and to be a shape-shifter, (X-Men style. I'm an actress who would love to play as many diverse roles as possible. Imagine having shape-shifting powers. No costumes, wigs, makeup needed. Even auditions would be a breeze.
What would you do with 5 million bucks?I would buy Greece! [You might even have some change left over... - Ed.]
If you could have tea with the Queen, what would you say to her?
I would say, "Elton, I am so glad you ditched those ridiculous toupees for hair implants." [Almost choked on my latte there. - Ed.]

What skill do you wish you had? I wish I could sing well. I'm always in awe of brilliant singers.
You're having a dinner party. Which 5 people would you invite?
Any five characters from my favourite sitcom, Modern Family. They just blow me away with their characterisations, comedic timing and flawless performances. I love being in the company of funny, clever people! [Girl, in that case, let's do lunch - Ed.]
And now you know!
