Aliens & Earth: Why Aliens Haven’t Reached Our Planet Earth Yet; Reports Posted: 31 Jan 2012 09:33 AM PST If aliens exist, they should have reached our planet by now. According to a new study, calculations indicate that either we are alone in the galaxy, or ET is ignoring us. "We're either alone, or they're out there and leave us alone," the Discovery News quoted mathematician Thomas Hair, with Florida Gulf Coast University in Fort Myers as saying. Hair based his estimate of what he believed to be extremely conservative estimates for how long it would take a society to gather the resources and technological know-how to leave its home world and travel to another star.Even at the comparatively sedate pace of 1 percent of light-speed, the aliens would land at their nearest neighbour star in around 500 years. "They've either passed us by, or they stay around their home star systems and contemplate their navels," Hair said. There could be quite a lot of reasons why we are not listed in intergalactic Yelp. Perhaps most important is that we do not have anything that aliens require. "Any ancient civilization is probably not biological. They don't need a place like Earth. They don't need to come here and steal our water. There's plenty of it out in the outer solar system where the gravity is not so great and they can just take all they want," Hair said. Or maybe modern-day extraterrestrials are following routes laid out long ago, all of which bypass Earth, he added. Related posts:

Ashley Greene Lucky: Sexy Ashley Greene Covers Lucky March 2012 Magazine Posted: 31 Jan 2012 09:16 AM PST Bringing her stylish ways to another front page, Ashley Greene adorns the cover of the March 2012 issue of Lucky. The 24-year-old Alice Cullen cutie posed for a playful spread shot by Ruven Afanador while talking with the magazine about getting her start in Tinseltown and life after “Twilight”. Highlights from Miss Greene’s in-depth interview are as follows. On life after twilight: "Twilight has given me something to skyrocket off of. But now that it's ending, there's so much work to be done. And if I don't do it, then Twilight's all I'm ever going to be known for, as great as it is… Basically I went from 'dying to get a gig' to 'dying to get the gig that everyone wants.' So now I'm in this realm with a lot of highly respected actresses, which is an amazing place to be, but also kind of terrifying." On getting her start in acting: "My mother put me in modeling classes because I had low self-esteem. I was friends with older people, so I was always around someone more mature who boys responded to. I think that kind of messed with me… She never actually wanted me to be a model; she just wanted me to feel good about myself. But then there was a chain reaction. All of a sudden I wanted to be an actor, and of course, my mother was like, 'Oh, great, what did I do?' " On her type of guy: "What's most attractive to me is someone who has the same amount of drive as I do, someone who's equally passionate about what they do, and equally busy. But I think that would be a tall order." Related posts:

Hollywood Beauties Topless On Cover Of Vanity Fair’s March 2012 Hollywood Posted: 31 Jan 2012 08:48 AM PST Landing an entire flock of Tinseltown beauties, a full slate of adorable actresses adorn the cover of the March 2012 Vanity Fair Hollywood Issue. Shot by famed photographer Mario Testino, the unfolding front page features big names ranging from Rooney Mara and Jennifer Lawrence to Elizabeth Olsen and Jessica Chastain. Also included in the upcoming issue of Vanity Fair are lovely ladies such as Mia Wasikowska, Adepero Oduye, Shailene Woodley, Paula Patton, Felicity Jones, Lily Collins, and Brit Marling. With a behind the scenes look available below, the publication wrote a teaser passage about their latest installment reading: “In the first-ever Hollywood Issue cover shoot from Vanity Fair contributing photographer Mario Testino, a bevy of Hollywood's most precocious beauties lounge across a three-panel foldout—including two new Oscar nominees”. “The Art Deco set was designed to evoke the all-white, Jazz Age interiors of English decorator Syrie Maugham, whose clients included Bunny Mellon, Elsa Schiaparelli, and the Duchess of Windsor; V.F.'s fashion and style director, Jessica Diehl, put the 11 cover starlets in pastel satin dresses and frothy feathers to lend a 20s and 30s boudoir feel”. “Across the panels are actresses Rooney Mara, Mia Wasikowska, Jennifer Lawrence, Jessica Chastain, Elizabeth Olsen, Adepero Oduye, Shailene Woodley, Paula Patton, Felicity Jones, Lily Collins, and Brit Marling”. “Mara and Chastain—both featured on the front panel—were nominated for Academy Awards in January, Mara for her portrayal of cyberpunk hacker Lisbeth Salander in David Fincher's Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, and Chastain for her supporting role in Tate Taylor's Oscar heavyweight, The Help”. (The Julliard grad also had starring roles in Take Shelter, The Tree of Life, and Coriolanus in 2011.) Related posts:

Amy Jackson Cosmopolitan: Amy Jackson On Cosmopolitan India January 2012 Posted: 31 Jan 2012 08:20 AM PST British model and actress Amy Jackson photographed by Vishesh Verma for the cover shoot of the entertainment magazine Cosmopolitan India for the January 2012 issue. Amy is going to make her Bollywood debut with romantic movie Ekk Deewana Tha opposite Prateik Babbar, buzz is that Prateik and Amy are involved romantically but the two deny it saying they are just close friends. When Prateik Babbar was asked about his relationship with Amy Jackson at the event, the lad's reply was evasive. Asked if the rumours of him dating Amy were true, Prateik said: "Whether it is true or false, I think it is for me and Amy to know and for the whole world to keep guessing." Now, that doesn't clear the picture a lot. But going by an image doing the rounds of the internet in which we see Prateik and Amy partying in Goa and she planting a smacker on his lips, or going by a recent funny incident when Prateik's feelings for Amy were inadvertently disclosed, it appears that the couple has fallen to Cupid's arrow.

Amy Jackson Prateik Live-In: Prateik Babbar Living With Girlfriend Amy Jackson’s House At Bandra Posted: 31 Jan 2012 07:42 AM PST Prateik Babbar has moved into his girlfriend Amy Jackson's place at Bandra. They are very much talked about their relationship but the duo never denied nor accepted it. Prateik is very often now spotted at Amy's place and it is almost confirmed that Prateik Babbar and Amy Jackson are living together. Says a source, “Amy has been staying near Mount Mary. Prateik has been often spotted in the vicinity. But of late he has been staying over at her place. Residents in the area have been observing Prateik’s continuous presence.”Adds the source, “Though Prateik also stays elsewhere in Bandra, he has been spending more time at Amy’s place. A while back her mother had been staying over but now that she has gone back to the UK, he has shifted there.” Amy’s spokesperson maintains, “Residents may have spotted them together as Amy is shooting with Prateik for their movie’s promotions at Bandra Bandstand. The shoot is currently on.” Amy is debuting with Prateik in 'Ek Deewani Tha' and they also had an intimate scene. The actor is also helping the British model in furnishing her Hindi and helping her to establish in Bollywood. At an awards ceremony this weekend, they insisted on going up on stage together to give away an award. Apparently, it was Prateik's idea that the two make their first stage appearance together. So, does this also mean that the duo now plan to make their relationship public? "There have been speculations about the women Prateik has been involved with. But he has never made it obvious in public," says our source. All the more reason why Amy might be someone special. Related posts:

Kate Moss & Lara Stone Again On LOVE Magazine, But Not N@ked This Time Posted: 31 Jan 2012 05:06 AM PST It is almost two years exactly since the last time Kate Moss and Lara Stone both posed for a LOVE magazine – but this time, the shoot will raise fewer eyebrows. In February 2010, the pair posed completely naked alongside six other supermodels. But one year later, they are keeping their clothes firmly on. A sneak preview of the shoot sees Kate and Lara – made up to look startlingly similar – posing in a warm embrace, complete with matching cat ears. The photo was taken by Mario Testino, who was also chosen to take the official photographs at the Moss-Hince wedding last summer. Kate and Lara were styled by Panos Yiapanis – who, it appears, struggled to choose what he wanted the models to wear – so instead decided to layer up his favourite designers with clothes from his own studio. Lara shows off a glimpse of a Stella McCartney print dress under a vintage denim jacket which has been written all over in felt tip. Kate wears a red silk body by Prada – which you can also see just a sliver of – under a studded chain-mail biker jacket from the stylist's studio. Both blondes accessorise with a fun pair of cat’s ears created by Yiapanis – while Lara’s huge engagement ring also attracts some attention. Hair stylist Orlando Pita and make-up artist Charlotte Tilbury were obviously briefed to make the pretty models look as similar as possible. Both share the exact same shade of hair, right down to the darker roots, as well as natural eye make-up and pale pink lips. The fun blues and turquoises of the shoot – and the blonde locks and matching freckles of the models – give it a summery feel despite the cool palette. They are the perfect pictures to get us in the mood for spring. Related posts:

Rafale Fighter India: Dassault Rafale Wins Indian Air Force 126 Jet Fighter Deal Posted: 31 Jan 2012 04:14 AM PST The Dassault Rafale fighter jet, manufactured by French Dassault Aviation, has emerged as the lowest bidder in India’s mammoth contract worth $10.4 billion, say sources. The Indian Air Force plans to buy 126 aircraft over the next ten years. The process to determine the L1 (lowest bidder) has been completed, and sources indicate that the final contract is expected to be signed in the next financial year. The first 18 aircraft will be bought off the shelf. The rest 118 will be manufactured in partnership with an Indian company. There were six contenders for the world’s biggest defence deal which included the Russian MiG- 35,Lockheed Martin’s F-16 Falcon, Boeing’s F-18 Hornet, the Swedish Saab Grippen, Euro-Fighter Typhoon and Rafale. Of these, the European EADS Eurofighter Typhoon and Dassault Rafale were in the final race for the global tender for the Medium Multi Role Combat Aircraft (MMRCA). The Eurofighter bid was backed by four partner nations including Germany, Spain, Italy and the United Kingdom while the Dassault Rafale was backed by the French Government. On November 4 last year, Defence ministry had opened the commercial bid of the two firms left in the race and since then has been busy in determining the lowest bidder. The rest were rejected as they didn’t meet the technical qualifications. Incoming search terms:dassault rafale wins indian air force (1), rafale wins india (1),Related posts:

Joe Green No Facebook: Joe Green Do Not Like Facebook’s $17b Fortune Posted: 31 Jan 2012 03:38 AM PST CAN you imagine Joe Green walking away from a share of $17.5 billion because his daddy said “no”? Joe Green is Mark Zuckerberg's former Harvard roommate and the man who reportedly walked away from a Facebook fortune. Mr Zuckerberg asked Mr Green to drop out of the Ivy League university to build the social networking site with him, but he said no because his father disapproved, US ABC News reports. Before the birth of Facebook, Mr Green and Mr Zuckerberg were threatened with expulsion after building a website called "Hot or Not?" that let students rate the attractiveness of their peers. “We’d gotten into a little bit trouble with the previous project … and my father, who’s a professor, was not too happy with the prospect of me getting kicked out of school,” Mr Green said. “Zuckerberg likes to make fun of my dad for this, but we’re still very close.” After walking away from Facebook Mr Green pursued his love of politics, working for John Kerry's failed 2004 US presidential campaign. All was not lost, however. Mr Green was brought back into the fold in 2007 to run the website and Facebook application "Causes", which is designed to "empower anyone with a good idea or passion for change to impact the world”. The for-profit business lets friends suggest charities, social causes and political candidates to their followers. Mr Green says social networking has become a powerful tool for politicians and activists. “You can’t ignore it,” he said. “It’s like ignoring television or ignoring, you know, mail. It’s become such an integral part of people’s lives.” Causes has raised up to $47 million for 50 000 charities and its Facebook page boasts 6.5 million monthly active users. Related posts:

Japan Population Decline: Japan’s Youth Not Interested In Sex So Population Decline Posted: 31 Jan 2012 03:15 AM PST A startling number of Japanese youths have turned their backs on sex and relationships, a new survey has found. The survey, conducted by the Japan Family Planning Association, found that 36% of males aged 16 to 19 said that they had ‘no interest’ in or even ‘despised’ sex. That’s almost a 19% increase since the survey was last conducted in 2008. If that’s not bad enough, The Wall Street Journal reports that a whopping 59% of female respondents aged 16 to 19 said they were uninterested in or averse to sex, a near 12% increase since 2008. The survey paints a bleak picture for Japan’s aging population. The Associated Press reports that the national population of 128 million will have shrunk by one-third by 2060 and seniors will account for 40 percent of people, placing a greater burden on the work force population to support the country’s social security and tax systems. Many commentators in the Japanese and international media have laid the problem squarely at the feet of soshoku danshi — “herbivore men” — a term coined by pop culture columnist Maki Fukasawa in 2006. It refers to Japanese young men who have rejected their culture’s traditional definition of masculinity, and seemingly eschew relationships with the opposite sex as part. CNN spoke to a Midori Saida, a 24-year-old Japanese woman who described “herbivore men” as “flaky and weak.” “We like manly men,” she said. “We are not interested in those boys — at all.” BBC News spoke to one such “herbivore” man (see video above). The man, Yusaki Yakahashi said: “Building a relationship seems like too much effort. To get her to like me and for me to like her… I’d have to give up everything I do at the weekend for her. I don’t want to do that.” Another theory that seeks to explain Japan’s shrinking population is that Japanese youth spend too much time engaged with technology, living in virtual worlds or settling for virtual girlfriends rather than real ones. Britain’s Daily Telegraph reports that Japan’s government has undertaken a series of campaigns to encourage couples to have more children — including making companies insist that their staff leave work at 6 pm to increase child allowances — but according to Dr. Kunio Kitamura, head of the Japan Family Planning Association, “none of that is gong to have an impact if people are not going to have sex.” Related posts:

Kardashians Go T0pless: Kim, Kourtney & Khloe Kardashian T0pless To Sell Jeans Posted: 31 Jan 2012 12:57 AM PST Kim, Kourtney & Khloe Kardashian sisters unveiled their line of jeans tailored for curvaceous figures last week. But just in case shots of the girls sporting the denim along with tailored white shirts wasn’t enough to generate buzz about the range, the Kardashian clan took things one step further and decided to pose topless for their campaign. Kim, Kourtney, and Khloe can be seen wearing only the jeans they designed, posing intertwined while covering their modesty with their arms. Kim said of the shot on her website: ‘Kourt, Khloe and I decided to go natural for our Kardashian Kollection denim shoot with Nick Saglimbeni and pose in only our favorite jeans! What do you think of the pic? I think it's such a beautiful shot and Khloe and Kourtney both look so stunning! Xo’The jeans range was a natural step for the reality stars, who are known for flaunting their fabulous curves at every available opportunity. And 31-year-old Kim took to her Twitter account to show the photo to her followers, adding a link to it along with the message: ‘Keeping it simple in Kardashian Kollection denim!’ Her sister Kourtney, 32, opted for a more provocative approach to describing the saucy shoot, writing ‘We banned tops from our Kardashian Kollection denim shoot! Jeans only, baby!!’ Meanwhile Khloe, 27, was clearly proud of the results of the photo shoot, posting: ‘How hot is this new promo image for our denim Kollection?!? We thought it only appropriate to wear JUST our jeans LOL.’ Kim took to Twitter to praise the new range last week. She wrote: ‘Our Kardashian Kollection for Sears denim line is officially here!! There are three styles, each named after my sisters and me’. ‘I'm wearing The Kim, which is a sexy, low cut, straight leg jean. Then Kourtney is wearing The Kourtney, a gorgeous skinny leg jean, and Khloe is wearing The Khloe, a tall curvy, high rise, boot cut!!’She continued to gush: ‘The jeans come in different washes so you can choose the fit and wash that's perfect for you!’ ‘Nick Saglimbeni was the photographer and I love the way they turned out! Shoots with my sisters are the best!! Xo’. All three sisters pose in their photos wearing their namesake trousers and identical button-down white shirts. They first launched the budget friendly Kardashian Kollection for Sears last August. Meanwhile, TV’s favourite reality family have been embarking on a string of solo pursuits. Last week, Kim appeared as Kelly Ripa’s guest host on the morning show Live! with Kelly. She opened up to the audience about her recent divorce from husband of just 72 days, NBA star Kris Humprhies. ‘It’s been a hard couple of months,’ she admitted. ‘I moved in with my mum – half the time with Kourtney and half the time with my mum.’ ‘I’ve just been spending a lot of family time. I went to my mum’s, I brought two pairs of sweatpants and a pair of pajamas. That was it.’ ‘I really did some soul searching. I needed that. I just needed to be with the family.’ She must have found goodness in her heart while on her journey of self-awareness, because E! News confirmed that she gave $50K to The Trevor Project, a group that provides crisis intervention and suicide prevention to LGBT youths. Meanwhile, Kourtney has been preparing to give birth to her second child with boyfriend Scott Disick. Khloe has put aside the drama over the true identity of her birth father to announce her newest job. She wrote on her website: ‘Hi dolls! I have some very exciting news for you. I'm returning to radio!!!!!!’ ‘I'll be joining the team at Mix 102.9 every day from 12-1pm CST for my very own show, The Mix Up with Khloé, and I could not be more thrilled about it!’ ‘Doing radio in Miami a few years ago was some of the most fun I've ever had and I can't wait to get back into it here in Dallas! You all know that I love to talk LOL, so this is the perfect gig for me. I can't wait to get started!’ She added: ‘My first show will be this Monday, January 30, and I am beyond excited! To my fans outside of Dallas, you can listen live on www.mix1029.com. WOOOOOOHOOOOOOOOOOO!’ Khloe recently moved to the Texan city when her basketball player husband, Lamar Odom, was traded to the Dallas Mavericks. No related posts. |
Posted: 30 Jan 2012 11:20 PM PST Painter Pranava Prakash attacked at a gallery in the Capital, where he is exhibiting a number of nude paintings of Vidya Balan, Veena Malik and Poonam Pandey In yet another blot on artistic freedom of expression in the country, five unknown men, miffed with kitsch paintings put on show at a gallery, assaulted artist Pranava Prakash yesterday. Prakash was attacked while he was showcasing his paintings of Bollywood celebs in the nude at Espace Alternative gallery in Noida. The miscreants were heard saying that Prakash’s paintings were “against Indian culture”, before they stormed in and tore the works. According to Prakash, the protestors were from a right-wing group and in the past have raised objecctions over his artwork saying that his paintings offend their beliefs.“I was in attendance at the art exhibition in the evening and I was taken by surprise when five people entered the gallery shouting slogans. They slapped me twice, threw me to the floor and then began pulling down the paintings, damaging three of my paintings. The images that were damaged were of Bollywood star Vidya Balan, Pakistani actress Veena Malik and model Poonam Pandey,” said the Noida-based painter who had earlier painted Arundhati Roy in the nude. According to Prakash, one of the pictures ruined was that of Poonam Pandey in the nude, who was shown supporting anti corruption crusader Anna Hazare, with a Gandhi cap on her head, while Malik appears to be shown with the Pakistan flag painted on her back. ‘Hue’ and cry “There is a certain section of people who think they are the custodians of Indian culture, and anyone who disagrees with them is the enemy. I have a right to express my view and no one in this country can take away my freedom of expression. No one in this country should be suppressed against speaking his/her mind and this incident won’t stop me from painting a subject in the nude again,” added Prakash.
