In the Brazilian town of Caxias do Sul, the non-profit rescue organization SOAMA has built 1,000 small dog houses that look like mini versions of the slums. It’s a (poor) dog’s life.
In India, wee tots learn how to charm snakes as young as age two. It's funny because some of them don't even know how to hold their own pee yet, but they can come face to face with venomous death machines. Crazy, crazy world, you guys.
Movie Buzz This is the second-best Slumdog Millionaire parody to hit the mainstream this week. (The first was last week's Office, which we won't parse for fear of spoilers, but oh my god, FEELINGS.) Bonus points for the theme-song remix at the end.
I kind of thought Joaquin was nuts in that movie, too, but I'll admit it was a different kind of nuts.
Movie Buzz What if the sequel to Slumdog Millionaire featured the teen on the Indian version of Double Dare?
Slumdog Millionaire actor Azharuddin Mohammed was beaten by his father, Ismail Usnay.
The starlet of Slumdog Millionaire appears all come-hither-y in a spread for Complex Magazine. So, yeah, she's pretty hot. And that's our final answer.
Ryan Seacrest proves he'll never get an Oscar (or any other type of award) in this horribly awkward interview with the kids who acted in Slumdog Millionaire. It's like the time on American Idol when he high-fived the blind contestant! Seacrest OUT! Seriously.
Movie Buzz The final dance sequence in Slumdog Millionaire was epic. The song, Jai Ho by Rahman and Gulzar, is an Oscar nominee for “Best Original Song” and has a pretty good shot at winning. These various YouTube reenactments alone are worthy of some kind of high-five.

The kids featured in the Oscar-nominated film actually live in the slum where it was filmed. 10-year-old Azhar doesn't understand why his mom (who needs an operation because she can only see out of one eye) won't let him spend his movie money on candy.
A couple dozen Mumbai slum residents staged a Slumdog Millionaire protest on Thursday, due to the movie's “insulting” title. Protesters held signs that said, “Poverty For Sale,” and “I am not a dog.” 18-year-old Rekha Dhamji said, “I am poor, but don't call me slumdog.” Dare I say backlash?
