With Osama dead, man finally shaves
Wednesday, May 4, 2011
When a middle school teacher vowed not to shave until Osama bin Laden was caught following the terror attacks, he thought it would only be a matter of months. So when Gary Weddle (50) found out the al-Qaeda leader was dead, he was probably more happy than most. In almost 10 years the science teacher from Ephrata, Washington, had managed to grow a grizzled beard that reached his chest.
Parting with his hair: Gary Weddle rushed in and shaved on his itchy
friend which he had for the last 10 years.
He certainly could have joined band ZZ Top and ironically bore a resemblance to Bin Laden himself. "I spent my first five minutes crying and then I couldn't get it off fast enough," said Weddle. Unsurprisingly Weddle's wife Donita was also rather relieved to be able to see a bit more of her husband's face. "He looks 10 years younger," she said. "It's a very happy moment for us. It's a very happy moment for the whole nation." Weddle had been working in his garden on Sunday evening when a colleague called to tell him the news.
Sceptical at first Weddle turned on the news and then when it had sunk in rushed to the bathroom to hack away at the itchy creation. Friends and neighbours even headed over to his house to watch the symbolic moment. And yesterday Weddle's school principal Jill Palmquist honoured him, telling students they should admire the teacher for sticking to his vow not to shave for 3,454 days.
But he had made a vow and was going to stick to it even if special forces had never captured the terrorist.
In 2003 Weddle had said, "If they want to shave it off my body in the coffin, they can, but I'm going to hang onto it... I'm not going to forget and I'm not going to let anyone forget."
3,454 Number of days Gary Weddle went unshaven
When Sonali Bendre attends a party without underwear
Thursday, February 10, 2011
It was a party hosted by the successful Bollywood director Karan Johar. The venue was the Four Seasons Hotel and the date was first of February, 2011. The party was attended by most of the glitterati of the Bolly Town. Shah Rukh Khan, Priyanka Chopra and Kareena Kapoor graced the occasion. Sonali Bendre and Aishwarya Rai Bachchan entered the party together. No sooner had they arrived, the talk spread around the party that Sonali was not wearing underwear.
This is a disheartening incident for the fans of Sonali Bendre. During her career she has always portrayed herself as a sober actress. This incident rudely goes against her good image. Bollywood was rocked in the past due to separate such incidents, where Yana Gupta and Neetu Chandra turned up in public without wearing a panty. However, both of them were unmarried.
Sonali Bendre, the wife to the well known director Goldie Behl and the mother of a child; is always popular with the camera men. She has always attracted the looks of the admirers; however, this wardrobe malfunction might tarnish her reputation. The actress agitated with the whole incidence, retorted back to the press people that she was glad that they saw it.
Another look alike of Katrina Kaif…
It is said that there are seven people in this world who resemble you. Well, I guess this is true to some extent. It’s kind of uncanny to see how closely the Rockstar heroin Nargis Fakhri resembles Katrina Kaif. Well, we now get it whay Kats was a little insecure about Ranbir getting cosy with his co-star.
After many fresh faces auditioning for the role in Rockstar, it was finally Nargis who was chosen over the rest. Director Imtiaz Ali was very sure about Nargis fitting the role of romancing Ranbir in the film.
At a first glance, anyone would get confused looking at both the girls. Their face-cut, their skin tone, etc etc are very similar. Adding to that, Nargis is half Pakistani and half Czech and our Katrina is half Kashmiri and half British.
Well, now do we call this a coincidence???
Kangna won't lock-lips with Mika

actress was disgusted at the suggestion.
According to sources, "Since the song has a crazy, wild and energetic vibe, the director Aanand L Rai decided to shoot it in wacky style too. He came up with an idea for Kanga to dance with Mika in the Baraat with the video culminating with him kissing her in his infamous Rakhi Sawant style," reports Mumbai Mirror.
KangnaThe source went on to reveal, "Though Kangna shot for the video with the required zeal, she freaked out at director's idea of Mika kissing her at the end just for fun. She shot down the proposal with thinly concealed disgust, saying, 'I am not Rakhi Sawant to do some thing like this'. The director didn't have much choice in the matter and gave in to Kangna's demand and changed the culmination of the dance number," reports the tabloid.
With Mika's reputation, it's no surprised that Kangna was freaked out by the proposal!

Veena Malik’s secret connection exposed!
Actress Veena Malik hit fame in Pakistan and abroad when she blamed cricketer and ex-boyfriend Mohammad Asif for match fixing. But she hit fame in India when she alleged that
Bollywood actress Neetu
Chandra was also involved with Mohammad Asif and match fixing.
There was a huge controversy on national television and Neetu’s publicist Dale Bhagwagar vehemently denied Veena’s allegations and termed her a “liar”. Veena and Dale were featured live on various television channels, fiercely debating the allegations.
As a result of all this hype and hoopla, both Neetu Chandra and Veena Malik were offered Bigg Boss. Veena accepted, while Neetu didn’t.
The Pakistani actress entered the Indian reality show and was best known and widely discussed for her close proximity to Ashmit Patel, another of the same publicist Dale’s clients.
Now after a month, Veena is being covered in international media and is looked upon as a girl who stood up for her rights in Bigg Boss. She’s being perceived as a fighter, for the cause of upliftment of women; similar to what Shilpa Shetty achieved with Big Brother when the same publicist Dale Bhagwagar was handling her PR.
What’s more! We thought Veena and Dale could never see eye to eye, as they were at loggerheads. But to our surprise, they were spotted together, happily chatting away at Ashmit’s birthday bash some time ago.
So should we say, there’s more here than meets the eye! When we questioned the publicist about this, he evaded the queries.
Only Madhuri Dixit can bring the 3 Khans together…..
The three Khans, Salman, Shahrukh and Aamir could have dinned together, if Madhuri Dixit had her way!
“I would love to invite Shah Rukh, Aamir and Salman to come and have food over at my place. I know Shah Rukh would always praise my cooking, Aamir would give me advice on how the food could be a little better which would help me improve, and Salman would just say ‘where’s the food, give it to me quickly’,” Madhuri told the press in New Delhi while launching celebrity chef Sanjeev Kapoor’s new 24-hour food channel “Food Food”.
If the Khans could make it to the actress’s place, they would be hogging on a sumptuous meal whipped up by Madhuri’s husband, Dr Sreeram Nene!
“He loves to cook. It’s a natural art. Like I have the affinity for dance, he has natural affinity for cooking. He is also a fast learner. He’s the one who aroused my interest in cooking and thanks to him I have become a good cook,” says Madhuri.
