Obama’s step-mum loves bingo games
January 30, 2009
It’s barely been a week since her son-in-law and daughter have been living in the White House and Kezia Obama, President Obama’s step-mum, was in arguably the most influential building in the world. But Mrs Obama seems to already be settling into how her life was before the election.
She was attending a bingo hall where she was promoting her own online bingo games, Mrs Obama’s Bingo. Whilst chatting with her fellow players, the presidential step-mum had time to talk about Barrack Obama;
“Barack said to me ‘Sorry it’s so cold. I want you to come back and stay in the White House in the summer when it’s warmer’”, said Kezia.
She was soon stuck into a number of bingo games, with regards to her own game she said how happy she felt about it all, stating “I’m so excited – I can hardly wait.”
Kezia also displayed a note from Barrack wishing her good luck for the event, which she gleefully showed to the players near her. She was still wearing the same woolly hate from the Presidential inauguration and pronounced her happiness at being able to get back to the things she loves;
“It was a fantastic occasion. I was so proud. I felt like a million dollar woman – like a star.” said Kezia.
Geri Halliwell loves diamond engagment rings
January 28, 2009
A week rarely goes by where a “celebrity” is off marrying either another celebrity or a bin man from Manchester. In Geri Halliwells case though she settled for yacht designer, Fabrizio Politi, who is worth significantly more than the average waste disposal technician (bin man) anyway. In fact, to put things in perspective, Politi’s company has sold vessels worth £67 million, which is why he can easily afford to splash out £223,000 on diamond engagement rings. To a girlfriend he has had a relationship with for only two months no less.
Geri Halliwell is obviously more than pleased with Politi’s taste in diamond engagment rings. She showed it off soon after accepting the proposal whilse passing through Heathrow on their way to a holiday in Spain. She didn’t miss the opportunity to flash her rock once they touched down in Madrid either, leaving it in the open for all to see.
Although the engagment seems quite rushed, their is apparently no word on when the wedding will take place, but you can sure that Politi is going to have to spend alot to outdo his choice of diamond engagement rings.
Geri has had a spate of whirlwind romances in the past, let’s hope this is the start of a more permanent solution for her.
Danny Boyle wants to utilse a million pounds for street children welfare
January 15, 2009
Raj Acharya, the first assistant director of Slumdog Millionaire was in for a surprise. He could not believe when his London-based best friend called to convey that Danny Boyle has stated that if the British director won a million pounds, the money will be given to Acharya as a gift.
Boyle wants to spend the money on teaching Mumbai’s street children – a cause which has been taken up by his assistant for the film. Actually Acharya’s involvement with street children played an important significant role helping him to bag an important position in this international project.
Thirty-nine year old said:
“I am known to handle children well. That’s why I often asked to do commercials with children. I had made a passing mention of teaching street children to Boyle. I am amazed he remembers this.”
He says getting children to focus was a big challenge on the sets of Slumdog Millionaire. Acharya added that as the children are not exposed to film production but they delivered once they got a hand of it.
Acharya had a tough early life. He was forced to drop out of his engineering course when his father passed away. Being the eldest sibling, to maintain the family he had to take up odd jobs. This perhaps is the base of Acharya’s understanding of children.

November 5, 2008
Carla Bruni may be the hottest blonde for France’s flamboyant President Nicolas Sarkozy but Britons think otherwise. The 40 year old former Italian model turned singer was voted by the Britons as the coolest celebrity in the world.
Bruni scaled to the top of the “Alternative Cool List” finding favour with almost a quarter of those questioned in the nationwide survey naming her as their favourite celebrity personality.
According to The Daily Telegraph report, 22 percent of the respondents placed Bruni, who is reported to have had flings with celebrities like Mick Jagger and Eric Clapton, on the chart.
The French First Lady has had an eventful year in the public gaze – performing with Metallica, marrying Nicolas Sarkozy and enjoying a stay at Buckingham Palace while on a state visit to Britain to meet the British Queen.
Another reason for her to grab the limelight is she also posed naked prior tying the knot with the French President and one of her famous sizzling snaps was recently sold for 45,500 pounds to a an unknown bidder at an auction.
Bruni revealed:
“I’m not pregnant and I regret it because I love it when I am. Will it happen? It is very difficult for me to say. However, it is more difficult when you are 40 than when you are 25”.
The French President is 53 year old.

His ex employers are shocked to find out about his deeds as they never suspected that a charismatic guy like him could do something like this
Their daughter Krista who worked with him and was friendly with him, tried convincing him to admit to all his crimes but he still denies them
She says that he tried convincing her to dump her boyfriend but she went nowhere near him and is relieved that he is away from all of them now.
Smoking Spice Girl asked to leave night club
March 14, 2008
Do control your smoking itch in a public enclosed place in UK, else be prepared to face the consequences even if you are a famous Spice Girl . Emma Bunton recently had a taste of adverse effects of smoking when she was asked to leave a night club after flouting the UK smoking ban. While partying , with a friend , the 32- year old Spice Girl, sparked up a cigarette on the sly, at London’s Café de Paris.
It perhaps escaped her mind that there are eagle- eyed alert security guards around. Emma, and her friend tried to hide their cigarettes, which she had lit sneakily. However a alert guard spotted the smoke and asked them to leave as smoking was not allowed.
Emma was dazed and turned red, holding her face in her hands, she repeatedly said: “I am sorry, I am sorry. It won’t be repeated. I promise.”
It happened to be one of Emma’s lucky -day. As luck was on her side, the club manager recognised her and let her stay on provided she did not do it again. She was also accompanied by her fiancé Jade Jones with whom she has an eight month-old son Beau.
Surely, the Spice Girl will never want to face such an embarrassing situation and who knows she may just quit smoking for good
Richard Branson pulls exciting stunt at the launch of Virgin Mobile in India
March 10, 2008
It is not exaggerating to say, that Richard Bronson lives life as if every moment might be his last. Any chairman, of multi-national companies would prefer to launch their products in a press conference. But Branson is an exception. On Sunday morning, he scaled down, the wall of a five star hotel in South Mumbai like Spiderman, to introduce his mobile service to India.
Arguably this a child’s play for someone who has sailed the Atlantic in the fastest possible time and flown across Pacific in a hot-balloon at speeds of up to 250mph. Branson, who is high on life, when asked by local media why he thrived on risks, replied” I have difficulty in saying no. I don’t have a death wish, I love life, but often by saying yes to the most incredible challenges I learn lot more about myself.
Richard Branson perhaps the most admired brand in Britain further added, India is the most exciting country in the world, and if it were properly ruled, there’s no reason why people should not come out of the poverty rut. It also makes me smile to see Indian companies buying out British companies. To me success is creating something I am proud of.
A poll reveals Britain’s top 10 anti-icons whom people love to hate
January 4, 2008
The top 10 anti-icons of Britain, according to a just conducted poll, are Blake Fielder-Civil, Banksy, Frank Lampard, Mika, Jeremy Kyle, Peter Andre, Ziggy, Prince, Ant & Dec, and lastly, Richard Hammond.
The poll conducted by Arena magazine to check where and why anti-celebrity feeling run deep has rated Blake Fielder-Civil, Amy Winehouse’s husband, as Britain’s top anti-icon. He is currently on remand at Pentonville Prison, waiting for trial (for perverting justice).
Following him closely is Banksy. The magazine mentions that the graffiti artist’s work is least liked by the honest taxpayers who are made to shell out about £1bn for wiping out graffiti in the country each year. This amount can be better spent on other social and much more significant tasks, Arena notes.
“Failing the nation” at a sporting event can also lead a celebrity player to anti-icon status, as Frank Lampard, the England & Chelsea footballer, has discovered after his poor show in the Euro 2008 qualifiers.
The falsetto-voiced singer, Mika, is fourth in the list, followed by Jeremy Kyle, the daytime television chat show host.
Peter Andre is sixth for forming “half of the country’s most over-exposed couple” with Katie Price (aka Jordan), his model wife. Ziggy, the former Big Brother housemate, has bagged seventh spot.
Other anti-icons of Britain to complete the rather embarrassing line-up are singer popularly called Prince, the presenters Ant & Dec, and lastly Richard Hammond of Top Gear, who has been accused of capitalising on a near-death crash.
