Britney Spears to visit Japan this month
December 2, 2008 TOKYO —
American singer Britney Spears, 27, will be in Japan later this month to promote her new album “Circus,” which goes on sale in Japan on Wednesday. It will be Spears’ first visit to Japan since December 2003, and she is scheduled to appear on Fuji TV’s music program “HEYx3” on Dec 15, and to stay in Japan for about a week.
Since the last time she came to Japan, Spears’ personal life has been a bit of a circus itself. Her marriage to childhood friend Jason Alexander while boozed up in January 2004 was annulled some 55 hours later. She married dancer Kevin Federline in September that year and together they had two sons, but got divorced in July last year. Federline was granted custody of the children amid Spears being admitted to rehabilitation facilities.
Her increased weight also made the news recently, but Spears succeeded in losing nearly 10 kilograms. One of her latest songs, “Womanizer,” seen as a denouncement of her ex-husband, made it to the top of the Billboard Hot 100, for the first time since her debut single “…Baby One More Time”, released in 1999.
Looking forward to her upcoming visit to Japan, Spears said in a statement: “The Japanese are just so nice, I love them. I wanna go shopping while I’m there too.”

Nicole Kidman bullied on Facebook
December 2, 2008 SOMEONE I know suggested I join the Facebook group, “Am I Taking Crazy Pills or is Nicole Kidman the Worst Actress in the World?”
I don’t know why. I am completely indifferent as to whether Kidman’s acting skills are bad, very bad or indeed the worst in the world. And I don’t know what a crazy pill is supposed to be.
Grenade blast wounds 46 protesters in Bangkok
November 30, 2008 BANGKOK (Reuters) – A grenade blast wounded 46 anti-government protesters in Bangkok, hospital officials said on Sunday, the latest escalation in the country’s increasingly violent political crisis.
The blast occurred around midnight at Government House, where thousands of supporters of the People’s Alliance for Democracy (PAD), who have occupied the prime minister’s compound since August in a bid to unseat him, were attending a rally.
Aussie designer's wedding shattered by terrorism
November 29, 2008 
Dreams shattered … Chloe Papazahariakis.
FASHION designer Chloe Papazahariakis was four days off her dream Mumbai wedding when terrorists devastated the city yesterday.
“I’ve just moved to this beautiful city to marry my husband and I’ve got about 20 friends here for the wedding in the midst of all this chaos,” Ms Papazahariakis said.
Ms Papazahariakis is engaged to Bollywood star Puneet Vasishtha and was caught up in the horror while dining at a restaurant where her wedding reception was to have taken place.
Actress Brooke Satchwell’s partner David Gross said he and other Australians “huddled like mice for five hours” as gunmen raged through the Taj Mahal Hotel.
Once they realised the gunmen were outside the door they fashioned a 20m rope out of curtains.
“We started sliding out. There were embers dropping down from the burning storeys above,” Mr Gross, a film editor, said.
“We just ran because suddenly we realised we were in the open and we weren’t safe.
“We just kept running … and then we spent two hours trying to find each other.”
Queensland Premier Anna Bligh spent hours yesterday waiting for word from her Mumbai-based son Joe, 21. The budding film-maker is in the Indian city learning post-production, but was not caught up in the terror.
Those concerned about friends or family can call 1800 002 214. Australians in Mumbai who need help should call +61 2 6261 3305.

You know where I rarely go to find hotties…Canada. And it isn’t right. Our neighbors to the Norht have a bevy of beautys. And today’s girl is just proves the rule.

Protesters shut Thailand's international airport
November 26, 2008 
Anti government protesters in front of the departure terminal at Suvarnabhumi airport, Bangkok in the early hours of Wednesday Nov. 26, 2008. Outbound flights at Suvarnabhumi International Airport were temporarily suspended at 9 p.m. Tuesday, authorities said, shortly before hundreds of demonstrators _ some masked and armed with metal rods _ broke through police lines and spilled into the passenger terminal. Airport manager Serirat Prasutanon said airport authorities had tried to negotiate with the protesters “but to no avail.” “For the safety for passengers, we have to stop flights out of the airport temporarily until the situation returns to normal,” he said in a statement, adding that incoming flights were still operating. The anti government protesters are demanding the resignation of Thailand’s Prime Minister, Somchai Wongsawat. (AP Photo/Wason Wanichakorn)
