Aamir Khan is painting Bollywood blogs red with the news of his hurting
2008-05-13 13:56:00 Aamir Khan is painting Bollywood blogs red with the news of his hurting himself while doing dangerous stunts for his forthcoming ?Ghajini’. But what is not known to many is that sexy and nubile Jiah Khan is also matching paces with him in doing some hard-hitting stunts for the flick.The reasons Jiah’s action scenes aren’t being talked-about are that she hasn’t hurt herself and more so because she isn’t talking about it. ?I can’t! I’m not allowed to,? she quakes with contractual terror. ?But yes, I’ve done a lot of action scenes in Ghajini. They’ve been extremely unnerving.?Jiah also lost weight for doing these stunts. To be cleared here that Jiah is doing Ken Ghosh’s film with Shahid Kapoor and all that sms business was sent off by someone else in her name.Technorati Tags: Aamir Khan is painting Bollywood blogs red with the news of his hurtingDel.Icio.Us Tags: Aamir Khan is painting Bollywood blogs red with the news of his ...

Torturing Drug Dealers? Kind Of Like Superheros?

Fanatics, Cologne 1888 ~ perfume in the news
2008-05-06 00:26:00 I have a confession to make: I'm a fragrance fanatic. I don't bathe in scent and asphyxiate fellow elevator passengers, but lately no reading interests me as much as the well-crafted description of how something smells. It's similar to how people used to read Pauline Kael's film reviews for the sake of artistry, not to decide whether they'd see the movie. Still, it feels strange to confess to an obsession that few are aware exists. ? From Charting the ascent of scent: why the olfactory arts are set to be the next great obsession in The National Post. Cologne 1888 blends a divine note of bitter orange, bergamot, Sicilian lemon, marjoram, thyme, basil and rosemary with a base of musk and amber and the velvetiness of petit grain. All essential oils are the highest quality natural ingredients and form the soul of the scent. The delicacy of each ingredient is preserved so all harmonize together to become a work of art. ?

Wright Back in the News, But What About McCain and Pastor Hagee?
2008-05-01 08:44:00 Jeremiah Wright, Barack Obama?s pastor is sparking controversy yet again with his speeches. Obama spoke again on Tuesday to denounce the recent comments he has made and Obama has made it clear that he does not agree with the positions that Wright has taken. Wright spoke before the National Press Club on Monday in an effort to defend himself after Obama denounced the first remarks that were made famous on the internet and cable news networks. Comments that were made by Wright at the National Press Club forced Obama to take an even more aggressive stance in his opposition to the extreme comments made by the pastor. The Wright controversy has captivated the 24 hour cable news channels and other media news outlets. The media has not slowed down their coverage of the controversy since Obama denounced the recent comments. Senator Kerry told MSNBC during an interview to ?let go of this?. ?Can I say something to you? Obviously it is painful and he said it. You fol...

Making the News: Going after Politicians for Following the Law
2008-04-27 16:50:00 by Akiva at Mystical PathsA study released about a month ago statistically confirmed what many of us knew, 40% of news reports in Israel aren't news, they're opinion (the reporter is making them up to present his/her position). This is blatently clear from reading websites such as YNetnews or Haaretz.It gets worse when they specifically go after someone, and if they can't find the merest excuse or example of lawbreaking (such as having spit on the sidewalk once 10 years ago), they'll try to make one up. This was recently the case with Bibi Netanyahu, who they went after for making a trip to London where the accommodations were paid for by the trip sponsor. Besides this not actually being illegal, the trip was requested by the Israeli government and for Israeli PR purposes. And, as anyone who watches Israeli PR knows, Netanyahu is about the only Israeli politician who has the slightest clue how to speak to the Western press. In the end the issue faded because, well, there wa...

Military Operatives Working In The News Media To Brainwash You?
2008-04-20 22:50:00 The NY Times has a lengthy, yet informative, article on the psyops perpetrated by the Bush administration. Anti-war folks figured this out a long time ago, but we’ll give the NYTimes kudos for printing history. Hidden behind that appearance of objectivity, though, is a Pentagon information apparatus that has used those analysts in a campaign to generate favorable news coverage of the administration’s wartime performance, an examination by The New York Times has found. The effort, which began with the buildup to the Iraq war and continues to this day, has sought to exploit ideological and military allegiances, and also a powerful financial dynamic: Most of the analysts have ties to military contractors vested in the very war policies they are asked to assess on air. Those business relationships are hardly ever disclosed to the viewers, and sometimes not even to the networks themselves. But collectively, the men on the plane and several dozen other military analysts repre...
