Farah keeps her promise by treating Katrina Friday, August 27, 2010 By: Upala KBR Farah Khan believes in keeping her artistes happy. She promised her Tees Maar Khan heroine, Katrina Kaif a special treat if she managed to maintain a slender waist for her raunchy number, Sheila Ki Jawani. Yesterday, Khan fulfilled Kat's craving to have Cinnabons. Says the director, "Katrina has worked extremely hard on the   song   Sheila Ki Jawani over the last couple of weeks. I had told her I'd give her whatever treat she wanted after the song was done. She wanted Cinnabons so yesterday I got three dozen in assorted flavours on the sets after we packed up. The day before wrap-up, she finished shooting for the song, went for a press endorsement in the evening and then went to the gym at midnight and worked out." Farah is impressed with Kat's professionalism and dedication. "She had to wear a low waisted, half-saree for the song so for the last two weeks she cut down on...

Shahid's buttocks are not real! Friday, August 27, 2010, By Kalyani Prasad Keshri Okay! here's something to laugh about. Have you ever thought of Shahid Kapoor's sudden transformation from a young college boy look (thin, lean, lanky) in the film   Ishq Vishk   to his recent manly and hunk looks? Woow! Isn't that a sudden change? Well, let's make it clear, it is all the magic of his 'butt pads' and nothing else.   Shahid in a recent quiz with a television channel made it clear that (now read this clearly) he wears his butt pads. He said, these pads are so comfortable that he doesn't need a chair to sit on and added that it is a water proof one, and he can wear it in the rain also. Well Shahid, good that it's a water proof one, because rain is unpredictable and wearing a wet butt pad would have left your fans thinking something nasty about you. Carrying the humour forward, now we know the secret behind Shahid's hunk look. Source : http://ent...

  Yes, I wear Butt-Pads – Shahid Kapoor If you thought   Shahid Kapur   is this sweet boy-next-door, bashful and media-shy, let's tell you one thing, you're grossly mistaken, dearies.   He's shed all of that, and what we see of this actor today is an avatar you'll love. He's truly cool, candid and bold — more than you can handle.   Recently, when zoOm quizzed him about his supposed 'butt pads', he said, "Of course, I wear them, they are so comfortable that I don't need a chair to sit on. They are water-proof too; you can wear them in the rain." Lol! Now that's awesome sense of humour, no? Quite kick'ass', we must say. That's called killing the rumour with humour. What say, Sasha?   Source : http://photogallery.indiatimes.com/portfoliolist/3879155.cms

Trainer:  Amir Khan Could Beat Alexander, Bradley, Maidana 'In One Night' By   Lem Satterfield Four-time Trainer of the Year   Freddie Roach   told FanHouse recently that he would like to see WBA junior welterweight (140 pounds) king   Amir Khan   of England against one of four other fighters. Those fighters would be either WBA and WBO lightweight (135 pounds) titlist   Juan Manuel Marquez , or junior welterweight champion counterparts   Tim Bradley   of the WBO, southpaw   Devon Alexander   of the WBC and IBF, or interim WBA belt holder   Marcos Rene Maidana . But with the 36-year-old Marquez (50-5-1, 37 KOs) heavily weighing a fall defense against 29-year-old WBO interim lightweight titlist   Michael Katsidis   (27-2, 22 KOs) of Australia , that would leave the 23-year-old Alexander (21-0, 13 KOs), or either Bradley (26-0, 11 KOs) or Maidana (28-1, 27 KOs ), each of whom is 26. "Any one of those guys out ther...

Zero Tolerance   August 2, 2010 by Faiz Shakir, Amanda Terkel, Matt Corley, Benjamin Armbruster, Zaid Jilani, Alex Seitz-Wald, Tanya Somanader In December, the New York Times   reported   that "for months," hundreds of Muslims had been gathering every Friday at an abandoned building two blocks north of the World Trade Center for prayer and readings from the Qur'an in Arabic. A group of Muslims purchased the building -- which had been damaged from debris resulting from the 9/11 attacks  -- and now, led by the American Society for Muslim Advancement ( ASMA ) and the   Cordoba Initiative , plan to build a 15-story Islamic community center there that will include a mosque, an arts center, a workout facility, and other public spaces. ASMA founder Imam Feisal Abdul Rauf said the project "sends the opposite statement   to what happened on 9/11." "We want to push back against the extremists," he added. Other faith leaders offered support for the project....
