Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban are expecting second baby again?

Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban are expecting second baby again? Speaking of rumors, there’s a pretty big one going around right now that Nicole Kidman and her hubby Keith Urban are possibly expecting their second baby together.

Nicole made an appearance earlier today in Japan at the premiere for her movie with Hugh Jackman, Australia.

In the photos she appeared to have a tiny bump and reportedly fueled pregnancy rumors by holding her hands over her stomach and hurrying off the red carpet.

Robert Gates: Sanctions against North Korea needed

Robert Gates: Sanctions against North Korea needed. The U.S. defense chief urged Asian allies Saturday to consider tougher sanctions against North Korea, noting that past efforts to cajole the reclusive regime into scrapping its nuclear weapons program have only emboldened it.

North Korea's years long use of scare tactics as a bargaining chip to secure aid and other concessions — only to later renege on promises — has worn thin the patience of five nations negotiating with Pyongyang, said U.S. Defense Secretary Robert Gates.


"They create a crisis and the rest of us pay the price to return to the status quo ante," Gates told the Shangri-La Dialogue, an annual meeting of defense and security officials. "As the expression goes in the U.S., I'm tired of buying the same horse twice."

"There are other ways perhaps to get the North Koreans to change their approach," Gates said. "I think this notion that we buy our way back to the status quo ante is an approach that I personally at least think we ought to think very hard about."

The sharp statements were echoed by the South Korean defense minister and even China — North Korea's strongest ally. Taken together, they reflect fears throughout the region that last week's nuclear and missile tests by Pyongyang could spiral out of control and lead to fighting.

The North said it would no longer honor a 1953 armistice truce with South Korea after Seoul joined a 90-plus nation security alliance that seeks to curb nuclear trafficking on the seas.

Additionally, the U.N. Security Council is drafting financial and military sanctions against North Korea as punishment for the weapons testing. Similar sanctions approved after Pyongyang's 2006 atomic test have been only sporadically enforced, and largely ignored by China and Russia.

Gates warned North Korea against secretly selling its weapons technology to other rogue nations, saying the U.S. "will not stand idly by."

Later, at what officials called the first-ever meeting among defense chiefs from the U.S., Japan and South Korea, Gates asked his counterparts to begin considering other steps against Pyongyang should the regime continue to escalate is nuclear program. The three military leaders did not discuss specific potential actions but U.S. officials who attended the half-hour meeting said any steps would be taken in self-defense.

South Korean Defense Minister Lee Sang-hee said the talks "could not have come at a better time."

"North Korea perhaps to this point may have mistakenly believed that it could be perhaps rewarded for its wrong behaviors," Lee told reporters. "But that is no longer the case."

Gates does not plan to build up American troops in the region, and said Saturday he currently does not consider North Korea to pose a direct military threat to the United States.

Earlier in the day, Lt. Gen. Ma Xiaotian, the second-in-command of the General Staff of China's military, told the security forum that Beijing "has expressed a firm opposition and grave concern about the nuclear test."

The Obama administration also announced it would dispatch a delegation Sunday to Tokyo, Seoul, Beijing and possibly Moscow over the next week to discuss how to respond to North Korea.

Mark Fitzpatrick, an expert on nonproliferation issues with the International Institute for Strategic Studies and a former top U.S. State Department official, said North Korea is likely to respond heatedly to whatever actions the U.S. and allies take to stem the weapons threat.

"North Korea's responses to date have been so far above and beyond the normal tit-for-tat," Fitzpatrick said Saturday. "If they again escalate, I think we could see some low-level conflict, some shooting incidents at sea. But then one can't say, well, we can't respond at all because North Korea might use it as a provocation. North Korea will use any response as a provocation."

Susan Boyle, quitting the British TV talent show (Britain's Got Talent)

Susan Boyle, quitting the British TV talent show (Britain's Got Talent). Scottish singing sensation Susan Boyle has considered quitting the British TV talent show that has rapidly brought her worldwide fame, show judge Piers Morgan said Thursday.

Morgan said the 48-year-old spinster, dubbed the Hairy Angel, was struggling to cope with the pressures of fame after she reportedly unleashed a foul-mouthed tirade at the hotel where the contestants are staying.

He said Boyle had even packed her bags Wednesday in preparation to quit ahead of the final of ITV's "Britain's Got Talent" show Saturday, before relenting.


"Yesterday she was actually going to leave the show, packed her bags to go because she couldn't see the point in going on if all she was going to get was all this sniping," he told ITV News.

Writing on his blog earlier, Morgan -- a former tabloid newspaper editor -- described Boyle as a "frightened rabbit" and called for her critics to "back off."

He said that reading personal comments about the spinster who claims she has never been kissed had made him feel "very, very angry."

He wrote: "Susan is finding it very, very difficult to cope, and to stay calm.

"She has been in tears many times during the last few days... she's had to read stories and columns, and listen to radio and TV phone-ins, calling her arrogant, insincere, spoiled, fake, mad and so on.

"Now, I have been called all that and worse in my career, but I spent 20 years in Fleet Street and know how to deal with it.

"Susan Boyle has never experienced anything like this and is like a frightened rabbit in headlights."

Morgan said Boyle had shown the weight of expectation on her shoulders during a wobbly performance last weekend.

Describing her as "an incredibly sweet, nice, gentle person" who had turned into "the biggest star on the planet," he said: "Anybody who has gone through that... transformation is going to be feeling the most unbelievable pressure.

"You could see the nerves almost crippling her on the semi-final show and I just think it's time that everyone slightly backed off," he told LBC radio.

Boyle went from obscurity to international stardom with a soaring version of "I Dreamed A Dream" from musical "Les Miserables" in the show's auditions.

That clip has attracted some 100 million hits on YouTube, brought her celebrity fans including actress Demi Moore and rock star Jon Bon Jovi, and seen her feted in the media from the US to China, Japan and Australia.

But some fans on YouTube have questioned whether she has what it takes after she produced a shaky rendition of "Memory" in the show's semi-finals last weekend, singing occasionally out of tune and out of time.

Media reports say she spat out a string of abuse and made an obscene gesture at the television after Morgan, with whom she has flirted on screen, praised a rival during another a different semi-final show Tuesday.

Police were called to her London hotel the next day after she repeatedly swore at two strangers who were taunting her, the Sun newspaper said.

But despite the reports, Boyle, whose world has turned upside down in just over a month, insists she can keep her feet on the ground.

Asked by US talk show host Larry King if fame would alter her, she demanded: "Why should I change?" adding her celebrity meant "I certainly won't be lonely any more."

Despite her newfound fame, unemployed Boyle still lives in social housing outside Edinburgh with only her cat, Pebbles, for company.

Boyle was reportedly starved of oxygen at birth and bullied at school. When she first stepped up to the microphone on the show it looked like the jibes would continue as the audience and judges laughed at her frizzy, greying hair and thick eyebrows.

But she silenced them all when she started singing -- and has not looked back since.

Boyle is bookmakers' favourite to come out top in the final. The winner gets to perform for Queen Elizabeth II, plus a cheque for 100,000 pounds (115,000 euros, 160,000 dollars).

Filmmakers of "Slumdog Millionaire", Danny Boyle meet poor kid stars in Mumbai

Filmmakers of "Slumdog Millionaire", Danny Boyle meet poor kid stars in Mumbai. The makers of "Slumdog Millionaire" met the film's two impoverished child stars on Wednesday and reassured them they will soon have new homes. But the father of one of the children stormed out, saying the filmmakers have not done enough to help.

Rubina Ali, 9, and Azharuddin Mohammed Ismail, 10, both lost their homes this month after city authorities bulldozed parts of their slum in Mumbai. Rubina has been staying with relatives and Azhar has been living in a makeshift shanty of tarps and blankets with his parents.

"We've been trying for a long time to move them into legal accommodation," director Danny Boyle told reporters at the Tata Institute of Social Sciences on the outskirts of Mumbai, where he and producer Christian Colson met the children and their families.

Relations between the filmmakers and the children's families have grown tense since the phenomenal success of the film, which grossed more than $326 million.

The filmmakers set up a trust aimed at ensuring the children get proper homes, a decent education, a monthly stipend and a nest egg when they finish high school. They have pledged to spend up to $100,000 to buy the two families new apartments and have donated $747,500 to a charity to help slum children across Mumbai.

Colson has described the trust as substantial, but will not tell anyone how much it contains not even the children's parents for fear of making the youngsters vulnerable to exploitation.

Nirja Mattoo, who helps oversee the children's trust, said a new home has been found for Azhar's family near to his school and neighborhood. "We are finalizing the deal. Next week it should be done," she said.

The hunt for Rubina's house continues, she added.

But Rafiq Qureshi, Rubina's father, said Boyle has not done enough.

"It's no big deal for them, this kind of money. It's been five or six months we've been living in such difficulty. They should help us," he said in an interview after he cut the meeting short in anger.

"After the Oscars they forgot about us," he added. "For two months we didn't get any money."

Mattoo declined to comment on Qureshi's behavior.

"We're trying our best to get it (a house) as soon as possible," she said by phone.

Boyle said he planned to make two more films set in Mumbai.

Mike Tyson's 4 year old daughter, died in tragic accident

Mike Tyson's 4 year old daughter, died in tragic accident.The death of Mike Tyson's 4-year-old daughter in a bizarre accident adds an awful chapter to the boxer's troubled life.

Exodus Tyson died at a hospital Tuesday, a day after her neck apparently got caught in a cord dangling from a treadmill at her Phoenix home, police said.

Police said Exodus either slipped or put her head in the loop of a cord hanging under the console and suffocated. She was pronounced dead just before noon after being on life support, said police Sgt. Andy Hill, who called the injury a "tragic accident."

"There are no words to describe the tragic loss of our beloved Exodus," the family said in a statement. "We ask you now to please respect our need at this very difficult time for privacy to grieve and try to help each other heal."

Tyson, who has been living in Las Vegas, flew Monday to Phoenix, where he was seen entering the hospital.

The modest house where his daughter was injured contrasts starkly with the lavish lifestyle Tyson had through his tumultuous years of boxing, when he spent tens of millions of dollars and says he had millions more stolen from him by unscrupulous associates.

During two years at the height of his career, he earned $140 million — but he filed for Chapter 11 protection in U.S. Bankruptcy Court in 2003.

He has been promoting a new documentary about his life and told The New York Times earlier this month he had been sober for 15 months after years of drug and alcohol abuse.

"I don't know who I am," he told the newspaper. "That might sound stupid. I really have no idea. All my life I've been drinking and drugging and partying, and all of a sudden this comes to a stop."

Tyson first began boxing in a facility for juvenile delinquents in upstate New York at the age of 12. Eight years later, he became the youngest heavyweight champion ever when he knocked out Trevor Berbick in 1986. But in 1990, he was defeated by James "Buster" Douglas in one of the biggest upsets in boxing history, and soon after was convicted of raping a beauty pageant contestant in Indianapolis.

Tyson, who still denies he raped the woman, served three years in prison.

A few years later, he served three months in jail for beating up two men after a minor car crash in suburban Washington.

As his career continued, so did his bizarre behavior. He bit off a piece of Evander Holyfield's ear during a boxing match and once threatened to eat the children of heavyweight champion Lennox Lewis.

Although Tyson's children had lived in their unassuming neighborhood for several years, he purchased a separate home in the tony Phoenix suburb of Paradise Valley in 2005 for $2.1 million, selling it two years later for $2.3 million.

In November 2007, Tyson spent 24 hours in Maricopa County's "Tent City" jail after pleading guilty to one count of cocaine possession and one misdemeanor count of driving under the influence. Police found the drug when they pulled over Tyson's car after he left a Scottsdale night club.

According to police, Tyson said after his arrest that he bought cocaine "whenever I can get my hands on it."

At Tyson's sentencing hearing, nearly a year after the arrest, his attorney David Chesnoff said his client had taken 29 drug tests without a relapse and was attending Alcoholic Anonymous and Narcotics Anonymous meetings.

Tyson had become an example of how a person overcomes problems with drugs, a violent past and poor upbringing, Chesnoff said.

"He's tried his hardest," his attorney said, "despite coming from almost impossible beginnings."

Obama's Speech Writer, Jon Favreau

Obama's Speech Writer, Jon Favreau. Jon Favreau has the worst and the best job in political speech writing. His boss is a best-selling author who doesn't really need his help, having written the 2004 speech that catapulted him onto the national stage. At the same time, the same boss also happens to be capable of delivering a speech in ways that can give his audience the goosebumps.

But Barack Obama is more than a little busy campaigning across Iowa and New Hampshire right now. So it was Favreau who led the team that wrote Obama's victory speech in Des Moines last week—a moment that prompted the TV pundits to drop months of skepticism about Obama's candidacy to make breathless comparisons with the Kennedy era.

For Favreau, a 26-year-old jean-clad staffer (who is no relation to the comedian of "Swingers" fame) who worked in Obama's senate office, the contrast with the 2004 election could not be starker.

Back then Jon Favreau had one of the worst jobs on the Kerry campaign. He was the kid who put together "the audio clips"—the bundle of overnight stories that helped the campaign's senior staff get up to speed on the latest radio news. A graduate of Holy Cross in Worcester, Mass., he had interned in Kerry's senate office and joined the campaign right out of college.

When Kerry's campaign showed signs of imploding—before recovering again in Iowa—Favreau was one of the few people left in the office when they needed a new speechwriter. "They couldn't afford to hire one," he recalled. "And they couldn't find anyone who wanted to come in when we were about to lose to Dean. So I became deputy speechwriter, even though I had no previous experience."

When Kerry lost in 2004, Favreau thought he was finished with politics. "After the Kerry campaign, after all the backbiting and nastiness, my idealism and enthusiasm for politics was crushed," he said. "I was grateful for the experience I got, but it was such a difficult
experience, along with losing, that I was done. It took Barack to rekindle that."

Top 10 Imposters in Time Magazine with Photos

Top 10 Imposters in Time Magazine with Photos. Here's are the 10 list of Imposters in Time Magazine with Photos.

10. James Hogue


A Princeton sophomore in 1991, Alexi Indris-Santana had all the makings of a big man on campus. His tales of growing up as a self-taught ranch hand in Utah and sleeping under the stars with his horse, Good Enough, won over admissions officials. He was taking six or seven courses a semester and earning straight A's. A talented runner, he had earned glowing local coverage before even arriving on campus, and the Daily Princetonian had asked three times for an interview so they could profile him as an up-and-coming track star. But running would also be Indris-Santana's undoing: at the Harvard-Yale-Princeton meet in 1991, a Yale senior recognized him from Palo Alto — where he had been caught masquerading as a high school student at age 26.

The promising academic and athletic star, as it turned out, was actually James Hogue, 31, an ex-con from Kansas City, Kansas. He was arrested and charged with forgery, wrongful impersonation and falsifying records. He spent nine months behind bars and had to pay back nearly $22,000 in financial aid. But the Princeton hoax was not Hogue's last: in 1992, he turned up as a guard in one of Harvard's museums, and was arrested after just a few months on the job, charged with grand larceny for stealing gemstones worth $50,000. Violating his probation, Hogue returned to Princeton, posing as a graduate student though he was never enrolled in classes. He made headlines as recently as 2007, when he pleaded guilty to felony theft, having stolen about 7,000 items worth some $100,000 from Colorado homes over several years. He is currently serving a 10-year sentence in prison.


9. Anna Anderson

In July 1918, Bolshevik revolutionaries marched the Russian royal family — Czar Nicholas II, his empress and their five children — and their staff down to the cellar of the house in Yekaterinburg where they were living in exile and shot them dead. Two years later, a woman appeared claiming to be the csar's youngest daughter, Anastasia, and heiress to the Romanov line. Two brothers named Tchiakovsky, she insisted, had carried her out of the bloodied basement and into Romania and safety. Romanov relatives rebuffed the woman, Anna Anderson, as an impostor; a German journalist speculated that she was really Franziska Schanzkowsky, a Polish girl who had disappeared from a Berlin boarding house shortly before "Anastasia" had first turned up in a nearby canal. But Anderson found some supporters, including Maria Rasputin, daughter of the "mad monk" Grigori Rasputin, a close adviser of Nicholas II and his wife. Anderson's tale—which has inspired many books and, most famously, the 1956 film Anastasia starring Ingrid Bergman—was finally debunked in the 1990s, when posthumous DNA evidence proved she was not related to the royal family.


8. Cassie Chadwick

She was already involved in crime in her teens in late-19th-Century Canada, but Cassie Chadwick — nee Elizabeth Bigley — really kicked things up a notch after moving to Cleveland, where she bilked two unsuspecting husbands and ran a sham fortune-telling business. After serving jail time for forgery, Chadwick hatched her most famous con — convincing an associate of her wealthy physician husband that she was the illegitimate daughter of steel magnate Andrew Carnegie, one of the world's richest men. Carnegie, Chadwick alleged, was paying her millions of dollars to keep silent about her ties to the eminent tycoon. Chadwick was able to borrow vast sums from banks and wealthy individuals on the basis of this claim, but the scheme collapsed when, in 1904, a businessman from whom she had borrowed some $200,000 called in the loan. Her promissory notes were revealed as forgeries, and Chadwick was hustled off to prison, where she died in 1907.

7. Princess Caraboo

In 1817, a mysterious, attractive woman surfaced in a small village near Bristol, England. She wore a dark turban and spoke a language that was unintelligible to baffled locals. Though she was at first assumed to be a foreign peasant, the woman — with help of a Portuguese sailor who claimed to understand her dialect — managed to convince her hosts that she was, in fact, a princess from an island called Javasu. Princess Caraboo, as she became known, spun an engrossing saga about having been abducted by pirates, whom she escaped by jumping overboard and swimming to shore through the stormy English Channel.

It was a fantastical tale, and Princess Caraboo quickly vaulted to fame. But it was, of course, too good to be true. After reading her story in a local newspaper, a woman outed Caraboo, noting that the phony Princess — whom the woman had employed as a servant — had entertained children by speaking in invented tongues. Princess Caraboo, it turned out, came from no more exotic a locale than Devonshire, England, where she was born Mary Baker, the daughter of a cobbler. Thanks to its sheer audacity, the stunt has earned a place in the scammer's canon; in 1994, it was turned into a feature film starring Phoebe Cates.


6. Frank Abagnale

Of all the impostors on this list, Frank Abagnale may be the most well known — his years spent as a check forger, con man and faux airline pilot (don't worry, he never actually flew) were the subject of the 2002 film, Catch Me If You Can, based on Abagnale's autobiography by the same name.

Born in 1948, Abagnale proved to be a wunderkind of a con man, posing as a pilot for Pan Am Airlines in order to bum free flights at just 16 years old. When authorities wised up to his frequent flying, Abagnale posed as a Georgia doctor for a year before masquerading as an attorney in New Orleans, although this last role wasn't entirely fake — Abagnale did manage to pass the bar exam.

He was finally captured in France in 1969, and served six months in a French prison and six more in Sweden before being deported to the United States, where he was sentenced an additional 12 years in the federal pen. Despite two attempts to escape, Abagnale was paroled after five years, on the condition he'd help federal authorities uncover check forgers. After failing to find legitimate work, he parlayed his unique skill into a consulting career, advising banks and and businesses on how to avoid fraud. His firm, Abagnale & Associates, has made the 61-year-old a millionaire by legitimate means.


5. Frederic Bourdin

Watch this video:



Youth is fleeting for everyone but Frederic Bourdin. Nicknamed "The Chameleon" by the French press, this 35-year-old claims to have taken on as many as 40 false identities over his career. A fatherless child with a distracted mother, Bourdin was an outcast as a youth and begin to impersonate orphans as a way of getting attention. His story was always the same — he only wanted a family and a place to be schooled. In the beginning, his identities were always fictional; Bourdin would spend time creating a name and a back story for each character he assumed. But faced with imprisonment after another one of his stories unraveled in 1997, Bourdin assumed the identity of a missing American boy named Nicholas Barclay.

Despite the fact that he had a heavy French accent and didn't match the boy's appearance — Bourdin's eyes are brown and Barclay's were blue — Barclay's family bought the deception, bringing Bourdin back to the United States, enrolling him in classes and never questioning that he was their long-lost teenager. They discovered the ruse only after an investigator working for the TV show Hard Copy interviewed the boy in preparation for a story on his miraculous reappearance and noticed all the discrepancies.

Bourdin served six years in prison for the deception, only to return to Europe and continue to impersonate orphans. As recently as 2005, the balding 31-year-old was still trying to pass as a teenager. However, after another brief prison sentence, this chameleon now seems content in his own skin. He's married with a daughter and has become a minor Internet celebrity; his video blogs can be found on YouTube.



4. Ferdinand Demara

Ferdinand Demara, or "the Great Imposter" as he came to be known, has a very impressive resume — the only thing it lacks is his real name. Under a series of stolen identities Demara worked as a civil engineer, a zoology graduate, a doctor of applied psychology, a monk on two separate occasions (Trappist and Benedictine), an assistant warden at a Texas prison, philosophy dean at a Pennsylvania college, a hospital orderly, a lawyer and a teacher — among other professions. In 1957, TIME Magazine described him as an "audacious, unschooled but amazingly intelligent pretender who always wanted to be a Somebody, and succeeded in being a whole raft of Somebody Elses."

Perhaps his most impressive impersonation came during the Korean War while impersonating a doctor on a Royal Canadian Navy Destroyer. When several Korean combat casualties were brought on board, the responsibility of saving their lives fell to Demara, the ship's sole "surgeon." Demara, who allegedly possessed a photographic memory and unusually high IQ, ducked into his quarters with a medical textbook and emerged to save the lives of every single man, including one who required major chest surgery. News of his heroics eventually unmasked him, and the resulting media attention ultimately prevented him from continuing his fraudulent lifestyle. Impersonation is considerably more difficult when the entire country knows your face.

3. Darius McCollum

Darius McCollum isn't the most efficient imposter on this list, but he's definitely the most persistent. McCollum has been arrested 26 times for impersonating various transit employees, including famously driving a New York City subway train while only 15 years old. Suffering from Asperger syndrome, an autism spectrum disorder, McCollum has been obsessed with trains since he was a child, having memorized the city's subway system by age five.

Born and raised in New York and confined there by parole restrictions for the majority of his adult life, McCollum is unable to escape the object of his obsession. He has become a minor cult figure, inspiring plays, documentaries and songs. Despite perhaps knowing more about trains than any employee, the New York City Transit Authority has refused to hire him because of his past convictions, and with no treatment for the disorder that drives him back to the tracks, McCollum's 26th arrest might not be his last.

2. David Hampton

Before Will Smith, there was David Hampton. In 1983, in a long-running con that would later inspire Smith's role in the 1993 film Six Degrees of Separation, Hampton inveigled his way into the lives of New York City's upper crust by pretending to be the neglected son of actor Sidney Poitier. Hampton would hang around the Columbia University campus, getting unsuspecting people to house him, give him money or otherwise help him. Hampton even once reportedly showed up at the home of actress Melanie Griffith, where he stayed up talking until 4 a.m. with actor Gary Sinise. Hampton would often go to restaurants and pretend that Poitier was meeting him just to get free meals and lavish attention, only to later act as if he had been stood up. But Hampton's undoing came when he was caught by Osborn Elliott, former Newsweek editor and dean of the Columbia School of Journalism, in Elliott's home in bed with another man. Elliott alerted authorities and the jig was up. No charges were pressed, but Hampton was forced to pay $4500 back to people whom he had swindled and stayed with.


1. Clark Rockefeller

Even though 48-year-old German national Christian Gerhartsreiter has lived in the U.S. since the 1970s — without having filed a single tax return and going by a number of aliases — his lawyers are still trying to get the false identity charge against him dropped. It's an uphill battle: the man otherwise known as Clark Rockefeller has been passing himself off as a member of the industrialist dynasty for years. And really, that's the least of his worries. After abducting his then 7-year-old daughter Reigh Boss from a Boston street in the summer of 2008, Rockefeller now faces charges of assault and kidnapping as well.

Rockefeller's lawyers are claiming mental distress caused him to snatch his daughter that day, injuring a social worker in the process; a rough divorce in 2007 had left him limited to just three supervised visits with his child a year. But investigators say that Rockefeller, who was caught in Baltimore after a week on the run, is a person of interest in the 1980s disappearance of a California couple. His trial is set to begin May 26.

JESSICA BIEL: Her Allure Photo Shoot in Allure Magazine

JESSICA BIEL: Her Allure Photo Shoot in Allure Magazine. For her cover shoot with Michael Thompson in Long Beach, California, actress Jessica Biel wasn't even slightly fazed by posing on a four-story platform in an electrical plant. What actually fazes her? Being typecast by directors and followed by paparazzi. See the exclusive outtakes from the shoot here, and for more photos and the profile "Body of Work," pick up the June issue of Allure, on newsstands May 26.


In an effort to keep Hollywood focused on her acting ability, Biel made sure that some of her early film contracts had a no-nudity clause—which meant that she got to choose a body double for love scenes. "I tried to get breasts that I thought were similar to mine," she says. "But a little smaller and perkier in the butt? OK, I did want that."

Since meeting Timberlake two years ago, Biel's private life has become very public. "It's wonderful to do what I do, but everything that goes with it? It's bizarre," says the actress. "The invasion of privacy is very tough. I am followed all day, every day. Going to the dentist, the cleaners. I guess I could look like shit going to the dentist, but only if I didn't care what I saw in the papers." Here (with photographer Michael Thompson), the actress wears an embroidered silk shantung dress by Louis Vuitton.


"I wanted to create a rich, sun-kissed face for Jessica," said makeup artist Stéphane Marais. To that end, he rubbed bronzer on her temples, nose, and chin and peach blush on her cheeks; rimmed her eyes with brown liner; and added shimmery taupe and gold shadows. The final touch: sheer coral lipstick.


When Biel studied the racks of clothes at the shoot, she zeroed in on a jacket by Louis Vuitton. "I'm wearing a new Eres bra that would look great under this," she told Allure creative director Paul Cavaco (right), who had brought lingerie from the same line. (Yes, Biel is wearing her own bra in this photo.)

Biel showed up dressed head-to-toe in William Rast—boyfriend Justin Timberlake's clothing line—including a pair of fringed angle boots. "These are the exact ones they had at the show in New York," she said. "They sent me a pair the models wore, because they hadn't been produced yet, but I loved them so much." Here, the actress wears a jumpsuit by Derek Lam with earrings, belt, and a bracelet by Louis Vuitton; brass and Lucite bangles by Alexis Bittar; and a glass bangle by Hilary London.

Watch "Dancing With the Stars' Season 8 Winner, Shawn Johnson. Shawn emerged as the dark horse, winning over fans and the judges with her drive, determination and positive attitude.

During Monday night's performance, Shawn stole the show by nailing her freestyle routine and getting a perfect score from the judges. At the same time, Gilles nabbed a perfect score for his Paso Doble to tie Shawn for the night while Melissa fell to the bottom of the leader board.

At the finale, the celebs took to the dance floor one last time. While viewers couldn't vote on their moves, the judges still popped up their score paddles. When all was said and done, all three dancers nabbed perfect scores. But it seemed like the judges thought Gilles was going to win.

In fact, after Gilles finished his Argentine tango, Bruno Tonioli jumped out of his seat to call it the "Argentine triumph" and proclaimed that a "star is born." Meanwhile, Carrie Ann Inaba said his "amazing artistry" set him apart from the rest of the competition and the usually hard to please Len said he enjoyed watching Gilles more than any other contestant.

TV Show "Chuck" goes in the 3rd Season

TV Show "Chuck" goes in the 3rd Season. You may be wondering what a TV show called “Chuck” has to do with web design? Well it doesn’t directly deal with web development, but it does contain numerous geekery. Well actually I do recall that Chuck has XSLT and Programming Perl books in his room.

I really only started watching the show right after this year’s Super bowl. I was amazed at how the show mixed so many genres into one killer show. It had action, romance, and comedy while not making it too forced or unnatural.

The network picked up 13 episodes of the series from Warner Bros., which, in a business-side trend this year, made some budget concessions to secure the show a third season.

Fans pushed NBC very hard for a pickup, launching a “Save Chuck” campaign that included buying sandwiches at series sponsor Subway.


Chuck joins Southland among the shows NBC has renewed for fall. Given that 10 p.m. will be off the board due to Jay Leno’s talk show, the network has considerably fewer slots than usual to fill.

Confidence has been pretty high that Chuck would return. Once Fox found a way to make the much lesser-rated Dollhouse work for fall late last week, Chuck returning to NBC seemed almost certain. It also probably hasn’t hurt that star Zachary Levi has been a team player for NBC, appearing in the network’s PSA campaigns, marketing promotions and events.

Here’s Chuck’s 18-49 ratings for the season, with the final number having gone up a tenth in the nationals since this chart was created. As you can see, for all the woes about the show’s ratings, it actually performed fairly steady, dropping only slightly in midseason.

Mickey Rourke new girlfriend . . . Victoria's Secret model, Eugenia Volodina



Mickey Rourke new girlfriend . . . Victoria's Secret model, Eugenia Volodina. As he proved last night when he very publicly grappled with the tonsils of a young Russian model, Eugenia Volodina, Eugenia Volodina, in the middle of a New York nightclub. Ageing hellraiser Mickey Rourke hasn’t lost the taste for models.

And following his Oscar nomination for the Wrestler, the 56-year-old appears to boast extra pulling power. Mickey appears to have become quite the ladykiller in recent months after The Wrestler rejuvenated his Hollywood career.

During his trip to London for the Baftas, where he picked up Best Actor for the movie, Mickey was spotted with a succession of beautiful women.

His latest companion Eugenia is a successful Russian model, who has appeared in high-profile campaigns for Valentino, Chanel and Yves Saint Laurent. The leggy brunette stands 5′10 tall and boasts a 33-24-34 figure. Rourke had only been introduced to Eugenie Volodina, a 24-year-old who has graced the catwalk for Victoria’s Secret, earlier that evening.

But it appears it was lust at first sight for the pair as she grabbed his thigh and he got her in a headlock before they started kissing passionately in front of their friends.

Tamil Tiger rebel chief has been killed in Sri Lanka, Colombo

Tamil Tiger rebel chief has been killed in Sri Lanka, Colombo. Sri Lanka declared Monday it had crushed the Tamil Tiger rebels, killing their chief, Velupillai Prabhakaran, and ending his three-decade quest for an independent homeland for minority Tamils.

State television broke into its regular programming to announce Prabhakaran's death, and the government information department sent a text message to cell phones across the country confirming he was killed along with top deputies, Soosai and Pottu Amman.

The announcement sparked mass celebrations around the country, and people poured into the streets of Colombo dancing and singing.

Prabhakaran's death has been seen as crucial in bringing closure to this war-wracked Indian Ocean island nation. If he had escaped, he could have used his large international smuggling network and the support of Tamil expatriates to spark a new round of guerrilla warfare here. His death in battle could still turn him into a martyr for other Tamil separatists.

Sri Lanka's army chief, Lt. Gen. Sareth Fonseka, said on television that his troops routed the last rebels from the northern war zone Monday morning and were working to identify Prabhakaran's body from among the dead.

"We can announce very responsibly that we have liberated the whole country from terrorism," he told state television. It was widely presumed Fonseka was waiting for President Mahinda Rajapaksa to announce Prabhakaran's death.

Fonseka and the commanders of the other security forces were scheduled to formally inform the president of the victory Monday evening.

Senior military officials said troops closed in on Prabhakaran and his final cadre early Monday.

He and his top deputies then drove an armor-plated van accompanied by a bus filled with rebel fighters toward approaching Sri Lankan forces, sparking a two-hour firefight, the officials said, speaking on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to speak to the media.

Troops eventually fired a rocket at the van, ending the battle, they said. Troops pulled Prabhakaran's body from the van and identified it as that of the rebel leader, they said. The attack also killed Soosai, the head of the rebels' naval wing, and Pottu Amman, the group's feared intelligence commander, the officials said.

Suren Surendiran, a spokesman for the British Tamils' Forum, the largest organization for expatriate Tamils in Britain, said the community was in despair.

"The people are very somber and very saddened. But we are ever determined and resilient to continue our struggle for Eelam," he said, invoking the name of the Tamils hoped-for independent state. "We have to win the freedom and liberation of our people."

But in Colombo, which had suffered countless rebel bombings, people set of fireworks, danced and sang in the streets.

"Myself and most of my friends gathered here have narrowly escaped bombs set off by the Tigers. Some of our friends were not lucky," said Lal Hettige, 47, a businessman celebrating in Colombo's outdoor market. "We are happy today to see the end of that ruthless terrorist organization and its heartless leader. We can live in peace after this."

The chubby, mustachioed Prabhakaran turned what was little more than a street gang in the late 1970s into one of the world's most feared insurgencies. He demanded unwavering loyalty and gave his followers vials of cyanide to wear around their necks and bite into in case of capture.

At the height of his power, he controlled a shadow state in northern Sri Lankan and commanded a force that including an infantry, backed by artillery, a significant naval wing and a nascent air force.

He also controlled a suicide squad known as the Black Tigers that was blamed for scores of deadly attacks. The rebels were branded a terror group and condemned for forcibly conscripting child soldiers.

Earlier, the military announced it had killed several top rebel leaders, including Prabhakaran's son Charles Anthony, also a rebel leader. The military said special forces also found the bodies of the rebels' political wing leader, Balasingham Nadesan, the head of the rebels' peace secretariat, Seevaratnam Puleedevan, and one of the top military leaders, known as Ramesh.

The rebels have been fighting since 1983 for a separate state for Sri Lanka's ethnic Tamil minority after years of marginalization at the hands of the Sinhalese majority. More than 70,000 people have been killed in the fighting.

Government forces ousted the rebels from their shadow state in the north in recent months and brought the group to its knees. Thousands of civilians were reportedly killed in the recent fighting.

Senior diplomats had appealed for a humanitarian cease-fire in recent weeks to safeguard the tens of thousands of civilians trapped in the war zone, but the government refused, and denied persistent reports it was shelling the densely populated war zone.

Diplomats in Brussels said Monday the European Union will endorse a call for an independent war crimes investigation into the killing of civilians in Sri Lanka. The diplomats spoke on condition of anonymity because discussions were ongoing.

The rebels were also accused of using the civilians as human shields and shooting at some who fled.

British Foreign Secretary David Miliband says there have been "very grave allegations" of war crimes on both sides of the conflict adding "they should be properly investigated."

The U.N. said 7,000 civilians were killed in the fighting between Jan. 20 and May 7. Health officials in the area said more than a 1,000 others were killed since then.

On Monday, more than a thousand angry Sri Lankans protested outside the British Embassy in Colombo, pelting it with rocks and eggs and burning an effigy of Miliband and throwing it inside the compound. Protesters held posters calling Miliband a "white Tiger," and several tried to climb the embassy's high walls.

Prime Minister Manmohan Singh's ruling coalition won an overwhelming election victory



Prime Minister Manmohan Singh's ruling coalition won an overwhelming election victory
. In New Delhi, Prime Minister Manmohan Singh's ruling coalition won an overwhelming election victory on Saturday, boosting hopes of a stable government as the emerging Asian power faces economic downturn and tensions with Pakistan.

Singh's Congress-led coalition, riding on the back of years of economic growth, did better than expected and will probably be only just short of an outright majority, according to data from the election commission and projections by TV channels.

"The people of India have spoken, and spoken with great clarity," Singh told reporters.

The victory over the opposition Hindu-nationalist-led alliance means the left-of-centre Congress may find it easier to form a stable coalition with smaller parties and be less vulnerable to pressure on issues like economic reforms.

"Eventually the people of India know what's good for them and they always make the right choice," Sonia Gandhi, the head of the Congress party, told reporters.

Congress party supporters carrying banners of star campaigners Rahul and Priyanka Gandhi, set off firecrackers in celebration on the party's return to power.

The Congress party-led coalition was projected to win 261 seats, short of the 272 needed for a parliamentary majority, state TV said.

The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP)-led opposition alliance would take 160 seats and a Third Front of communist and smaller groups 58 seats, the TV channel said.

INDIA begins vote count in ELECTION Highlights

INDIA begins vote count in ELECTION Highlights. The election commission began on Saturday the official count of votes after a month-long, mammoth general election that is expected to throw up a weak coalition.

The main battle is between the Congress party-led coalition and Bharatiya Janata Party-led alliance, but neither alliance was expected to gain a parliamentary majority.

Following are highlights from the vote count that will be updated over Saturday.

President Pratibha Patil, who chooses which party is to be invited first to form a government, is meeting constitutional expert and former attorney general Ashok Desai to seek advice in the event of a tight result, local television said.

2009 Maxim's Hot 100: Top Ten with Photos


2009 Maxim's Hot 100: Top Ten with Photos

1. Olivia Wilde

We may not know a McDreamy from a McNugget, but when it comes to TV doctors, there is only one who makes our body temperature rise. The pulse-quickening internist played by Olivia Wilde on House, M.D. is named Thirteen (which we presume is out of 10) and has a terminal illness that causes her to dabble in drugs and casual sex. (That's how we want to go!) But we were drooling over this N.Y.C. native long before she was injected into Fox's hit medical drama. Roles on small-screen faves The Black Donnellys and The O.C. introduced Olivia to the world, but it's her prehistoric part in this month's Year One that will put her on top of it. As the object of Cro-Magnon lust in the Judd Apatow-produced, Harold Ramis-directed, Jack Black-starring comedy, Olivia will surely knock moviegoers back to the Stone Age.



2. Megan Fox

Seriously, do women get more painfully hot than this? Megan Fox has the face of an angel, a body so perfect that God may have carved it out of soap while in the shower, and sex appeal that could melt a unicorn’s horn. Plus, we hear she smells like clouds! Look for Megan as robot bait in Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen, a cheerleader in Jennifer’s Body, and a beauty beguiling Josh Brolin’s disfigured gunslinger in Jonah Hex. And look for us to keep typing “Megan Fox” in Google image search!



3. Bar Refaeli

If there’s any evidence that the Middle East is a land of beauty and wonder—not just unending turbulence— Bar is it. The 24-year-old Israeli supermodel with the brain-blowing bod scorched the cover of the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue this year, sending lonely high school gym coaches across the country into cardiac arrest at their mailboxes. These days, you can watch her hosting MTV’s House of Style—if you’re into that sort of thing. Or just keep staring at this incredibly hot photo.


4. Malin Akerman

In the dark world of Watchmen, Malin was tasked with one tough mission: distract moviegoers from Billy Crudup's 12-foot-long blue penis. She succeeded with flying colors--and a peelable latex costume. Watchmen wasn't the first time we've seen Malin (Who can forget her role in Harold & Kumar Go to White Castle?), and it won't be the last. She's got four new flicks on her busy schedule.



5. Mila Kunis

When the cast of Forgetting Sarah Marshall tapped the Ukraine-born Kunis to play Jason Segel's rebound, who could have predicted that she would throw of the entire premise of the movie? Mila's combination of exotic beauty and girl-next-door charm would make any sane man forget his ex in three seconds flat. With the upcoming Mike Judge comedy this fall, she cements her sexpot status. For those of us who remember Mila as Ashton Kutcher's cute (but frankly annoying) girlfriend on That 70s Show, there are two questions: When did she get so insanely hot? And why is she still with Macaulay Culkin?! Maybe some things are better left unanswered.



6. Eliza Dushku

On-screen in Fox’s Dollhouse, she’s a lethal hottie who can negotiate a hostage release or recover stolen art for the Greek government. Offscreen, she’s the show’s producer. Either way, you should stay on Eliza’s good side. In March, the former Angel and Buffy babe revealed to us that in addition to working 14-hour days doing many of her own stunts on the show, she still makes time for hygiene. “I love catching a glimpse of my tattoos when I strip down to take a shower.” Eliza, you’ve delivered a roundhouse kick to our heartstrings.




7. Adriana Lima

With apologies to Mrs. Tom Brady, it’s Adriana who epitomizes the Brazilian bombshell— her killer curves, ridiculous sexiness, and adorable accent make this supermodel the hottest export from a nation stupid with smoking hot women. In addition to campaigns for Guess and Maybelline, the perfectly proportioned polyglot (she speaks Portuguese, English, and French) has been a Victoria’s Secret Angel for nine years running— yet somehow, we never tire of seeing her nearly naked. She broke our hearts when she married Memphis Grizzlies guard Marko Jaric, Commence hating Marko...now!



8. Rihanna

Pop’s reigning princess has had a year of wild highs and lows, from two Grammy nods to a much-publicized altercation with R&B singer Chris Brown. But the Barbadian beauty—who picked up a don’t-mess- with-me pistol tat after the incident—is poised to return stronger than ever. Rumor has it she’s already begun recording her fourth album, the follow-up to 2007’s smash Good Girl Gone Bad. We’re dancing already!



9. Jordana Brewster

No offense, Paul Walker, but this breathtaking daughter of a Brazilian swimsuit model and granddaughter of a Yale University president is the real reason the entire world went to see Fast & Furious. Paul! Wait. Come back. It’s nothing personal!



10. Jennifer Love Hewitt

If you were finally getting over your 14-yearlong crush on JLH, we apologize for this picture, which will set your recovery back a good decade. Ever since she uttered her first, “Bailey!” on Party of Five, Love has been the object of many a man’s obsession. She left us high and dry for a bit, but her return to the tube on Ghost Whisperer gives us our weekly fix of Love and needy dead people.

Maria Verchenova young Russian golfer, wants to be Sharapova, except with golf

Maria Verchenova young Russian golfer, wants to be Sharapova, except with golf. She's most beautiful, hot, sexy and talented lady golfer. Maria Verchenova, a young Russian golfer who's hoping to capture the world's attention, along with a couple wins here and there. She's the first Russian to earn full-time membership on the Ladies' European Tour, and notched her first top-10 finish in her rookie year, 2007. She's had strong finishes since then, including a Dubai Ladies' Masters performance in which she briefly dueled with Annika Sorenstam for the lead. So far this year, she's tied for 37th in her lone LPGA event, the Honda in Thailand.

Sports By Brooks reminds us, we need to step back from the big hitters and keep an eye on what's going on in golf's outer reaches.


The article's reads like somebody's trying to get a date:

Gymnastics, athletics, tennis - all of these sports have been conquered and graced by the ladies of Russia in the last 40 years.

What all of the successful athletes in these sports have shared is a natural flair for sport, a determination to make the most of their talent, a passion for competition and a beguiling nature that has captured the imagination of the world.

And where the likes of Svetlana Khorkina, Yelena Isinbayeva and Maria Sharapova have already travelled, golf's Maria Verchenova hopes to follow.

But aside from the obvious attractions of the article, the interesting element is how Russia apparently has little, if any, support for women's golf at the younger levels. So players must expend their own funds rather than relying on the state to support them.

She's billed as "Beautiful Sexy Golfer Maria Verchenova." As that site gushes, in lovably offbeat grammar, "Maria in my opinion is the most Beautiful Hot Sexy and Talented lady to have ever picked up a golf club, Maria has it all.

Mark Landon, eldest son of Michael Landon, found dead at home at the age of 60

Mark Landon, eldest son of Michael Landon, found dead at home at the age of 60.
Mark Landon, eldest son of the late iconic television actor Michael Landon, was found dead in his West Hollywood, Calif., home, officials said. Landon was 60.

No cause for Landon's death has been disclosed, however, CNN reported foul play is not suspected.

His father, Michael Landon, is best known for his work on TV's "Bonanza," "Little House on the Prairie" and "Highway to Heaven." He adopted Mark after marrying his mother Dodie Frasier in 1956. Michael Landon died of cancer in 1991.

Mark Landon, whose body was discovered Monday afternoon, had bit parts in several movies, including "Us," a film his dad starred in and directed, CNN said.

Simon Cowell didn't expect that Kris can win in "American Idol"

Simon Cowell didn't expect that Kris can win in "American Idol" Top 3. Three "American Idol" contestants remaining, but to hear judge Simon Cowell tell it, only one has a shot at winning. A day after telling Oprah Winfrey that Adam Lambert would be the last man standing because he's "got swagger, Cowell announced that Kris Allen doesn't have the vocal chops to win "Idol."

On the Fox News morning show "Fox and Friends," Cowell told co-host Brian Kilmeade that Allen shouldn't even make the top two. "I'd love [Adam] in the final, really with Danny [Gokey], because Kris is a nice guy, but he's not a good enough singer to compete with Adam. The only one who can compete with Adam on vocals is Danny."

There are no doubt millions of die-hard Allen-ites who would beg to differ, as well as many who may not love the 23-year-old singer but still believe he's poised to win the competition. Allen's combination of bro-next-door appeal and radio-friendly style, MTV News' James Montgomery argued, make him a much surer bet than the vocally dexterous but perhaps not commercially viable Lambert.

"Kris Allen is about as likeable and relatable as they come," Montgomery wrote. "He's a good-looking, sorta-sensitive, guitar-strumming, God-fearing everydude from Arkansas ... [He] has a voice that's tailor-made for radio. Listen to any top-40 station (or even any album-oriented rock station), and you could hear his voice in most of the songs. Shoot, his takes on 'Falling Slowly' or 'Ain't No Sunshine' could be on radio stations today."

Of course, there are legions of Lambert and Gokey devotees who believe their guy is a lock to triumph in this eighth "Idol" season. One of those believers is Senior Writer Gil Kaufman. "Lambert will win because he's consistently brought his 'A' game, has strived to be original, has not let the whisper campaign about his sexuality interfere with his victory march and because he's inspired a truly rabid cult of 'glambert' fans who hang on his every glittery-eyelid flutter," wrote Kaufman.

Kim Kardashian the spoiled type of life, the new and improved paris

Kim Kardashian the spoiled type of life, the new and improved paris. We bet Kim Kardashian's seriously reconsidering signing up for this spoiled type of life.

Kimmy K. was taping her tummy exercise DVD at posh workout spot Equinox in Bev Hills when a fellow female gymgoer started following the booty-ful babe around the gym. The woman got way too creepy close to our dear K2—over and over and over—and she had to be kicked the ef out.



Feels like it was just yesterday that Paris was the nutty-fan magnet before frenemy Kim gobbled it right up, nipping at her stilettos.

The put-upon stars may very well have shifted for these two, but is K.K. regretting it? Sure, being famous for merchandising yourself, your family's reality shenanigans and some amateur Internet sex sure sounds like fun in the beginning, but it ain't all Sprinkles cupcakes.

We hope Kim's able to keep up with this superficial lifestyle, 'cause she's seriously doing a better job at the famous-for-frills thing than Ms. Hilton.

First up, Kim looked like she actually enjoyed herself in the sex tape that got her name out there to begin with. Paris just looked friggin' bored. Both babes' reality shows were superfun (not just saying that 'cause they were both on E!—OK, a little bit), but if it's between bitchy Nicole Richie and the other Kardashian family members as sidekicks, we're going with Khloe and Kourtney on this one. Plus P gets deducted about a billion points for that lame-ass BFF show.

Curvy Kim knows how to poke fun at herself, while the only jokes Princess P makes are still totally pro-Paris. Lastly? We'll take the absolutely ab-tastic Reggie Bush over dodgy Doug Reinhardt any day. Kim's No. 1 way of one-upping P.H. is that she actually likes the man she's with, as opposed to this social-climbing cretin thing Par and Dougie have gotten so good at.

Cause you so know she's not going down without a fight.

Susan Boyle appear in Oprah Winfrey Show with Simon Cowell (with Video)

Susan Boyle appear in Oprah Winfrey Show with Simon Cowell (with Video). The YouTube sensation will appear on Monday's episode of Winfrey's talk show along with "American Idol" judge Simon Cowell, who'll speak out about his rumored departure from the iconic music television show.

Susan Boyle -- who took the Internet by storm last month after appearing on "Britain's Got Talent" -- is welcoming Oprah Winfrey's cameras into her Scotland home.

Cowell will also showcase the artists he calls "the next big thing" in a show highlighting talent from around the world.

The world’s most unlikely superstar, Susan Boyle, the frumpy 48-year-old who found fame when she blew Simon Cowell and the other judges on Britain’s Got Talent away with her surprisingly awesome singing voice, appeared on the Oprah Winfrey show today to talk about her whirlwind ascent into fame.

On the episode entitled “The World’s Got Talent,” Boyle invited the Oprah cameras into her home in Scottland and shared her musical journey that began when she was just a small girl inspired by her mother. “My mother used to sing around the house quite a lot,” she said in the interview. “It’s a sort of habit I sort of picked up from her.”

Singing was also a way for Susan to cope with a learning disability. She found her confidence, the same spunky fire she’d use in her biggest audition later in life, performing in school choirs.

After the death of her mother two years ago, Susan tucked away her talent. It took her awhile to bounce back, but she still needed to prove to herself that she could take the stage again. “One of the reasons I applied for the TV show was to try to see if I could perform in front of an audience.” That went well, didn’t it?

Since appearing on the show (and ultimately all over the internet), Susan has become an overnight sensation, but she’s not shying away from the attention. “It’s pretty awesome,” she told Lady O. “I’m really enjoying every second of it. It’s like a dream come true.”

One subject that always seems to come up is whether or not Susan will undergo a drastic makeover now that she’s in the limelight. “My best friend actually helps me with my makeup, but that’s hardly a makeover.” When asked about her new haircut and color she responded with a laugh. “That was just to tidy myself up like any other female would have done.”

Susan may be the most talked about contestant on the show, but she’s not letting that get to her head. She’s realistic about her chances of winning. “There are a lot of other talent in the competition, so I’m willing to take my place with them.”

Watch Susan Boyle invited the Oprah cameras into her home in Scottland appears on Ophra Winfrey Show:

Bandslam Movie 2009 (with trailer video)

Bandslam Movie 2009 (with trailer video). Disney Channel superstars Vanessa Anne Hudgens ("High School Musical 1 & 2," "High School Musical 3") and Alyson Michalka ("Phil of the Future," pop duo Aly and AJ) join Gaelan Connell ("Chocolat"), Scott Porter ("Speed Racer") and Lisa Kudrow ("Friends") in the music-driven comedy "Bandslam." When gifted singer-songwriter Charlotte Banks (Michalka) asks new kid in town Will Burton (Connell) to manage her fledgling rock band, she appears to have just one goal in mind: go head-to-head against her egotistical musician ex-boyfriend, Ben (Porter), at the biggest event of the year, a battle of the bands.

Against all odds, their band develops a sound all its own with a real shot at success in the contest. Meanwhile, romance brews between Will and Sam (Hudgens), who plays a mean guitar and has a voice to die for. When disaster strikes, it's time for the band to make a choice: Do they admit defeat, or face the music and stand up for what they believe in?

Bandslam is produced by Walden Media and Summit Entertainment. The film is centered around very different teenagers, all with a shared love of music. This film was previously titled Will and Rock On.

Alyson Michalka as Charlotte Barnes
Vanessa Hudgens as Sam

Greg Pritchard sings Nessun Dorma gets high praise in Britain's Got Talent (with video)

Greg Pritchard sings Nessun Dorma gets high praise in Britain's Got Talent (with video). Greg works as a waiter in a hotel restaurant and hates it, he longs to swap his current life for that of a worldwide superstar, and with a voice like his, we’ve got every reason to think he will.

When Simon asked why he was up onstage, Greg answered: “I’m here to make a dream come true.”

What followed was one of the most jaw-dropping auditions of the series so far… but for all the right reasons! Greg sung Nessun Dorma in a pitch so high it’d make most men’s nose bleed! But it was strangely fantastic – it was fun, it was uplifting, and above all it was good!

As Greg hit the top, top note, and the windows in the venue threatened to shatter, the audience jumped to their feet and gave the young Welshman a resounding ovation.

Like everyone else in the room Simon was unable to contain the huge smile that swept across his face.

“That shouldn’t have just happened!” he said gesturing to the standing ovation.

Piers announced that it was one of the most extraordinary things he had ever heard, before admitting: “I thought you did it brilliantly… it was a great act.”

Simon was still temporarily unsure: “Well it was like a dog meowing, it just shouldn’t do that,” but the more he thought about it, the more he liked it: “Would I like a dog to meow? I guess I would, yeah!”

And so it was time to vote on Greg.

“I’m going to say yes,” confirmed Piers.

Amanda was also a yes.

“I’m going to say,” begun Simon: “I haven’t got a bloody clue… but you are through!”

And with that Britain’s Got Talent’s only male soprano had made it through to the next round.

Apple iPhone 3G, the first iPhone

Apple iPhone 3G, the first iPhone.Just over a year after Apple birthed the first iPhone, the long-awaited, next-generation iPhone 3G has arrived bearing a mildly tweaked design and a load of new features. With access to a faster 3G wireless network, Microsoft Exchange server e-mail, and support for a staggering array of third-party software from the iPhone App Store, the new handset is the iPhone we've been waiting for. It still lacks some basic features but when compared with what the original model was year ago, this device sets a new benchmark for the cell phone world.

With the iPhone 3G, Apple appears to have fixed some call-quality performance issues we had with the previous in our initial tests, the volume is louder with less background buzz than before. The 3G reception could be improved, however. Music and video quality were largely unchanged, but we didn't have many complaints in that department to begin with.

The good: The Apple iPhone 3G offers critical new features including support for high-speed 3G networks, third-party applications, and expanded e-mail. Its call quality is improved and it continues to deliver an excellent music and video experience.

The bad: The iPhone 3G continues to lack some basic features that are available on even the simplest cell phone. Battery life was uneven, and the 3G connection tended to be shaky. Also, the e-mail syncing is not without its faults.


Features
The iPhone 3G hangs on to all the original iPhone features and throws in a few more, so we'll concentrate on what's new. Lucky for first-gen iPhone owners, most of the impressive array of additions--save 3G support and enhanced GPS--come along with the free 2.0 software update. For more on the organizer features, stocks and weather widgets, YouTube app, notepad, threaded texting, and visual voicemail.

The bottom line: The iPhone 3G delivers on its promises by adding critical features and sharper call quality. The iTunes App Store is pretty amazing, and the 3G support is more than welcome. Critical features still are missing, and the battery depletes quickly under heavy use, but the iPhone 3G is a big improvement over the original model.

Specifications: OS provided: Apple MacOS X ; Band / mode: WCDMA (UMTS) / GSM 850/900/1800/1900 ; Wireless connectivity: Bluetooth 2.0

Miss Rhode Island USA in Topless, Not All Topless Photos are Equal (with Photos)


Miss Rhode Island USA in Topless, Not All Topless Photos are Equal (with Photos). There's another reigning beauty queen who took some very topless photos before she won her pageant -- but unlike Carrie Prejean, Miss Rhode Island USA's crown was never ever in jeopardy.

According to Alysha Castonguay, she dropped her top for a Maxim magazine shoot and a few swimsuit calenders way before her competition -- but there was no controversy over the pics because they were all seen and approved by the Miss USA pageant officials.

But Alysha tells TMZ she feels for Miss Cali saying, "I personally believe this situation is stemming from the controversy over her opinion and not a photo."

The final decision on dethroning Carrie Prejean is still being deliberated by the Miss USA and Miss California officials.

Sexy singing star Rihanna have nude photos leaked on the internet (with photos)

Sexy singing star Rihanna have nude photos leaked on the internet (with photos). A collection of six photos allegedly showing the singer in the nude have been leaked on the net. Out of the batch, only two actually show her face.

The others show a woman's naked body, and backside, but her face is obscured from view. Is it Rihanna?

Some gossip sites are suggesting Rihanna's ex Chris Brown could be behind the leak as a payback after the couple split.

Celeb site, said today: "Just when Chris Brown's lawyer Mark Geragos went to court to request investigation paperwork in regards to Rihanna's leaked battered photo, these scandalous nude pics surface."

One of the photos shows a message written on a mirror which appears to say 'I love you, Robyn. I miss you' - Robyn is Rihanna's legal first name.

And in the reflection a woman who bears a striking resemblance to the singer has taken the picture.

In one of the other photos from the set, Rihanna's ex Brown is seen with a pair of pink knickers on his head.

The scandal comes as Brown faces felony charges relating to an alleged assault on Rihanna earlier this year.

She suffered cuts and bruising to her face and alleged bite marks to her arm during the vicious attack which shocked fans around the world.

Not long after the attack the couple were seen on holiday together, however they have since gone their separate ways.

Check out the gallery photos and decide for yourself.

American Idol: Adam Lambert, new cover of Entertainment Weekly Magazine

American Idol: Adam Lambert, new cover of Entertainment Weekly Magazine. Adam Lambert fans may have mixed feelings over the appearance of their “Idol” on the new cover of Entertainment Weekly. Their guy gets plenty of fresh ink. On the other, you’ve got the concern of a possible magazine-cover jinx.


They may also have mixed feelings over the accompanying story, which spends some time dwelling on Adam’s sexual orientation and wondering whether an “openly gay” contestant can win “American Idol” (This, despite the fact that Adam has never come out on the show).

Anyway, EW proclaims Adam to be the most exciting contestant on “Idol” in years (no argument there) and talks about how he has not only dominated the show, but has challenged it and even changed it.

LYRICS:

Do you hear me? I'm talking to you
Across the water across the deep blue ocean
Under the open sky, oh my, baby I'm trying

Boy I hear you in my dreams
I feel your whisper across the sea
I keep you with me in my heart
You make it easier when life gets hard

I'm lucky I'm in love with my best friend
Lucky to have been where I have been
Lucky to be coming home again
Ooh ooh ooh

They don't know how long it takes
Waiting for a love like this
Every time we say goodbye
I wish we had one more kiss
I'll wait for you I promise you, I will

I'm lucky I'm in love with my best friend
Lucky to have been where I have been
Lucky to be coming home again

Lucky we're in love in every way
Lucky to have stayed where we have stayed
Lucky to be coming home someday

And so I'm sailing through the sea
To an island where we'll meet
You'll hear the music fill the air
I'll put a flower in your hair

Though the breezes through trees
Move so pretty you're all I see
As the world keeps spinning 'round
You hold me right here, right now

I'm lucky I'm in love with my best friend
Lucky to have been where I have been
Lucky to be coming home again

I'm lucky we're in love in every way
Lucky to have stayed where we have stayed
Lucky to be coming home someday

Ooh ooh ooh
Ooh ooh ooh, ooh

Uh oh
There you go again
Talkin' cinematic
Yeah you!
Your charming
Got everybody starstruck
I know, how you always seem to go
For the obvious, instead of me
But get a ticket and you'll see

[Chorus:]
If we were a movie
You'd be the right guy
And I'd be the best friend
You'd fall in love with
In the end
We'd be laughing
Watchin' the sunset
Fade to black
Show the names
Play the happy song (yeah)

Yeah, yeah
When you call me
I can hear it in your voice
Oh sure, you wanna see me and tell me all about her
La, La
I'll be acting through my tears
Guess you'll never know
That I should win an Oscar for this scene I'm in

If we were a movie
You'd be the right guy
And I'd be the best friend
That you'd fall in love with

We'd be laughing
Watchin' the sunset

Wish I could tell you there's a twist
Some kind of hero in disguise
And were together, it's for real, now playing
Wish I could tell you there's a kiss
Like somethin' more than in my mind
I see it
Could be amazing (could be amazing)

if we were a movie
You'd be the right guy
And I'd be the best friend
That you'd fall in love with
In the end
We'd be laughing
Watchin' the sunset

American Idol 8 Top 4 Kris Allen sings "Come Together" (with Video). Kris Allen sings "Come Together" by the Beatles on American Idol Top 4. It was really a bad fit for Kris. He should have picked something that best suits his voice. He was trying so hard to impress the judges but unfortunately, it didn’t work out. Rock is a rebellious genre. You don’t sugar-coat it. There’s no such thing as pop-rock!

Randy: “I appreciate you picking something that you can still be yourself…I enjoyed it.”

Kara: “You’re definitely the softer side of rock and I can see that you tried to bring that tonight. But for me, this was not a great performance.”

Paula: “You need to have a little more energy.”

Simon: “I actually didn’t like it that much. It was rather like eating ice for lunch.”

On getting down to 99 pounds while shooting Jennifer’s Body: “I decided I would turn myself into a zombie. I got super, super skinny, stayed out of the sun for four months, and got to where I was losing my eyelashes and my eyebrows.”

On wanting to keep the status of her relationship private: “No, I do not want to comment on my relationship, period. It’s private. It doesn’t belong to the world. It’s mine. It’s Brian’s. It’s not for other people to judge and talk about and write about in In Touch Weekly.”

On the theory that her sudden success emasculated Green: “He doesn’t want to be my date…he’s a man. He has an ego. He went through this already, and he doesn’t want it back–It was horrible. So he has sympathy. He’s the one person that I know that if I’m struggling and everything’s getting crazy, I can call.”

On misbehaving while growing up: “I was grounded for all my childhood. Not most–all. I wasn’t doing anything particularly crazy. I just never appreciated authority figures preaching to me.”

Miss California Carrie Prejean: About topless and semi-nude photos controversial

Miss California Carrie Prejean: About topless and semi-nude photos controversial. The Internet is crackling about topless and semi-nude photos of controversial Miss California Carrie Prejean that are apparently about to be leaked. The first photo, which appeared minutes ago on TheDirty.com, shows a woman who appears to be Prejean standing, looking at the camera, wearing only a pair of pink panties and using a strategically placed arm.



Alicia Jacobs, the Entertainment Reporter at KVBC in Las Vegas, has seen all six of the photos and says some are much more revealing. She thinks they may have been taken after Prejean’s pageant-financed breast implant surgery about six weeks ago. The pictures are potentially explosive, particularly with the audience Prejean is now trying to cultivate.

Prejean, the reigning 2009 Miss California (for Donald Trump’s Miss USA pageant), had been the odds-on favorite to win the Pageant when she said that she did not personally favor gay marriage. This came in response to a question put to her by out celebrity blogger Perez Hilton, who was one of the judges.

A veritable s**t storm followed the next day, with some gay activists and their supporters calling for her ouster. Even Shanna Moakler, current head of the Miss California organization, has questioned whether or not Prejean is putting her anti-gay marriage campaign above her responsibilities representing her own state. Since then Prejean has been embraced by the National Organization For Marriage and has made appearances for the group, including one at Washington’s National Press Club, last week.

We have attempted to reach Prejean’s publicist with no success. We did speak with a spokesperson for the National Organization for Marriage and, while they were aware of the photos, they do not yet have a comment.

Swine Flu Virus Revealed (with Photos)



Swine Flu Virus Revealed (with Photos)
. Scientists have snapped the first ever portrait of H1N1, the new swine flu virus that has swept the globe in recent weeks. SCIENTISTS today warned of a deadly new flu virus which has become resistant to drugs.


The H1N1 “A” virus is a strain that causes common seasonal flu outbreaks.

But it carries an altered gene that makes it resistant to certain drugs.

Doctors fear it could seriously threaten hospital patients with weakened immune systems.

Two separate teams of researchers highlighted the danger in the Journal of the American Medical Association (Jama).

A Dutch group led by Dr Jairo Gooskens, from Leiden University Medical Centre, said the rapid spread of resistant H1N1 flu strains had been observed since January 2008.

And a US team led by Dr Nila Dharan, from the Centres for Disease Control and Prevention in Atlanta, Georgia, found that 12 per cent of influenza A (H1N1) viruses tested during the 2007-2008 flu season were resistant to drug Tamiflu.

But preliminary findings from the 2008-2009 season suggested much higher levels of Tamiflu resistance.


A virus cell (such as the H1N1 swine flu cells above) is made up of a core that contains genetic material, which is surrounded by a protein-filled coat that allows the virus to catch onto and invade target cells. Each cell measures about one-ten-thousandth of a millimeter wide.

The samples, obtained from an infected patient in California, were photographed on April 27, 2009, at the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's headquarters in Atlanta, Georgia.

As of May 4, 2009, 286 people have swine flu in the United States, according to the CDC. Twenty countries have seen nearly a thousand instances of swine flu, the World Health Organization reported.

The new virus is similar to flu viruses that normally occur in pigs in North America. But H1N1 has genes from European and Asian pigs, as well as from birds and humans, which makes the virus a very different organism, experts say.

"It's a situation where we should be cautious but not panicky," Susan Rehm, medical director for the National Foundation for Infectious Diseases, said on April 29.

"From what we understand so far, the severity doesn't seem to be much different than what it is in regular seasonal influenza."

Megan Fox: Esquire's Magazine Exclusive Video

Megan Fox: Esquire's Magazine Exclusive Video. From bed to bathing suit, spend a day with Transformers star Megan Fox in this film shot for Esquire by Greg Williams on the Red One camera. Get the full story and portfolio in Esquire's June issue, on sale May 10.

For the first time in Esquire's history, a cover image was shot as a video. Using the RedONE, a video camera that captures images at four times the resolution of high-definition, photographer-director Greg Williams recorded ten minutes of loosely scripted footage with Fox — getting out of bed, rolling around on a pool chair, inexplicably lighting a barbecue.

"It allowed her to act," Williams says. "She could run scenes without being reminded by the sound of a shutter every four seconds that I was taking a picture. As in still photography, a lot of it is capturing unexpected moments. This takes that one step further." He then went back and pulled out the best images, which you can see in Esquire's June issue, on sale May 10. Plus, there's a fantastic by-product: Even though we made the film to get the stills, we were left with ten bewitching minutes of footage of a beautiful woman.

Rihanna 'rekindles romance with her teenage love God sweetheart'

Rihanna 'rekindles romance with her teenage love God sweetheart'. American singer Rihanna has been spotted canoodling on the beach in Barbados with her former teenage sweetheart.

The 21-year-old star used to go out with 24-year-old Negus Sealy before she she hit the big time.

Reports suggest the pair could now be rekindling their romance following Rihanna's split from Chris Brown, who allegedly assaulted her.

Back together? Singer Rihanna reacquainted herself with former boyfriend Negus Sealy on the beach in Barbados

Sealy is said to be mending the singer's broken heart after her difficult spell and being a shoulder to cry on.

A source told the News of the World: 'Negus was a shoulder to cry on. He's a really smart guy - clever, good looking, very cool.

'All the girls adore him and call him the Love God. He and Rihanna were seeing each other before she hit the big time.'

The pair were spotted lapping up the sun on the island as Rihanna slipped into a sexy black bikini and hat.

She is said to be so smitten with him that she has told friends and family that Brown, 19, is definitely history, according to the newspaper.

The source added: 'Rihanna and Negus both realised there was still a strong sexual attraction between them and became inseparable.

'Whenever Rihanna went to the beach or out partying, Negus was always there.

'They were very careful not to be seen too closely together though as they're trying to keep their relationship a secret.'

Chris Brown appeared in a Los Angeles court last month and denied assault. If convicted he could face a jail term of up to five years.

A 37-year-old pizza delivery man overcomes crippling stage fright to wow Britain’s Got Talent judges with his rendition of Bring Him Home from Les Miserables.

Welshman Jamie Pugh attended the Cardiff auditions, and revealed that he was so scared that he had not slept for three nights.

“I suffer from severe stage fright, it has totally crippled me, and I’ve come today to see if I can get through three minutes,” he explained.

“In the day time I work three days a week driving a van and in the evenings I deliver pizza. I’m just a simple bloke from the Valleys, but my dream is to sing at the Royal Variety in front of a live orchestra,” he added.

All three judges were left spellbound and at the end of his performance the whole theatre was on its feet, bringing tears and a look of shock to Jamie’s face.

Gifted violinist Sue Son in Britain's Got Talent (with Video). Gifted violinist Sue Son started her audition for Britain’s Got Talent alongside keyboardist Janine Khalil as part of their classical music act Addicted.

However, the judges were not impressed by Janine’s composition and the pair were buzzed off stage at the Birmingham audition.

“I think you are both talented musicians, especially you with the violin, but I don’t think the two go together at all,” said Simon Cowell. “I thought the song was dreary and indulgent and I don’t see where you are going with this.”

Then in shock scenes shown last night, the panel invited 23-year-old Sue to try again on her own.

Martin Nievera sings in Manny Pacquia's bouts (with video). Martin Nievera, the first male artist to sing the Philippine National Anthem in all of Manny Pacquiao’s bouts, performed a fresh new version of Lupang Hinirang approved by the National Historic Institute.

The first four lines started out slow and a dramatic instrumental follows. The tempo became upbeat at the beginning of the fifth line until it reaches the climax of the song which is the last line “Ang Mamatay ng Dahil Sa Iyo”. Martin hits a very high note at the end and maintained his vibrato to the delight of the proud Filipinos at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas.
