Narendra Modi unstoppable
2007-12-23 14:59:00
Narendra Modi , Chief Minister of Gujarat who won a third term in office on Sunday, believes he is a messiah tasked with ensuring his state remains among India's most developed. He is either adored or abhorred, held in awe or shunned as a pariah. But whichever way he is treated, Modi, 57, has ensured he is one politician India cannot ignore. On Sunday, he showed why. Modi and his Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) were forecast to have only a narrow edge ahead of Gujarat's Dec. 11 and Dec. 16 polls with Congress, which is in power centrally, snapping at his heels. But the results surpassed expectations even of party managers in New Delhi, with the BJP winning or leading in 119 of the total 182 seats, compared to 127 in 2002. "Narendra Modi has immense credibility with the people of Gujarat," said Arun Jaitley, a senior BJP leader and party strategist for the state.

PERRY COMO
2007-12-23 14:57:00
Sixty-one years after it originally became a hit, classic crooner Perry Como 's version of “Jingle Bells" has scored the No. 1 spot on Billboard's ringtones chart (with his rendition of “We Wish You A Merry Christmas" coming in at No. 3), bumping Soulja Boy Tell 'Em's “Crank That (Soulja Boy)" down a notch.Did you know...“Perry" wasn't his real name?It was actually Pierino Ronald Como. “Mr. C," as the singer and television personality was occasionally known, was born in 1912 and died in 2001, three years before anyone bothered to keep track of a ringtone's popularity.Como's songs have been No. 1 before?“Till the End of Time" was his first No. 1 single, holding the spot for 10 weeks in 1945. Since then, he's had so many hit records that he allegedly asked his label (RCA Victor) to stop having them certified. “Jingle Bells" appeared on his 1946 album, “Perry Como Sings Merry Christmas Music," giving him his first No. 1-charting LP.sourceBy MAXINE SHEN

Dan Hesse as new CEO
2007-12-18 16:18:00
Sprint wanted a new man at the helm, and has picked Dan Hesse for the job. Dan's replacing Gary Forsee, who held the job since 2003 and was pegged for replacement since August. Hesse hails from Sprint spin-off Embarq, and served as CEO of AT&T Wireless from 1997 to 2000, back in the glory years of that service. Here's hoping that he doesn't axe the WiMAX, but it's clear something has got to change in Sprint land to turn things around.

Tyna Marie Robertson vs Michael Flatley
2007-12-18 16:16:00
Tyna Marie Robertson got what she deserved it appears. Tyna Marie Robertson acused a man named Michael Flatley of sexual assault. Tyna Marie Robertson now gets nothing along with her accomplis in crime. You can see how Tyna Marie Robertson and people like her will make up anything for money.Tyna Marie Robertson has just made a fool of herself. Michael Flatley was sueing for about 100 million because of the false charges. The court awarded him 12 million though. This case shows that it can hurt you to try to scam innocent people. Just cause Michael Flatley was in riverdance doesn’t mean you can sue him. Tyna Marie Robertson will probably never be able to pay that money back.

I clean the toilets, I wash the floors of the bathrooms, I vacuum the kids' rugs. I miss dinner with my family. I haven't been to a field hockey game yet. I'm missing out on a lot more than I originally had planned on doing."Near the end of the show, host Jeff Probst announced a surprise for Martin -- a spontaneous one, at that."This is very much a live show, and our boss and the creator of this show, Mark Burnett, was backstage listening to Denise's story.

Ewan McGregor has signed on as Jim Carrey’s love interest in I Love You Philip Morris, a comedy written by Glen Ficarra and John Requa (Bad Santa).The film is based on a true story about Steven Russell (Carrey), a married father and conman who ends up in a Texas prison. There, he finds himself falling for his cellmate Philip Morris (McGregor). His love for Morris gives him the courage he needs and he escapes from prison four times.

It looks like that Jessica Simpson may be doing what she said she never would do for a movie role, and that is getting naked. Since Jessica’s movie career hasn’t been doing so well Jessica is considering taking a role that requires her to be nude, in hopes that it will put her on the map as an actress.A source has said that “Jessica is in the running for a role that, if she gets it, will put her right on the map in terms of acting. “The only hitch is that the script requires a number of quite graphic scenes including a full-frontal nude scene.

 So lads looks like that you maybe seeing Jessica Simpson bare all soon
