Seal And Heidi Klum Ended Seven-Year Marriage

Seal and Heidi Klum ended their seven-year marriage in April.
And the reason why has now possibly come to light. His name is Martin Kristen.
The singer told TMZ last night that his relationship to the super model concluded because she was "fornicating with the help," a clear reference to Klum's bodyguard Kristen, with whom Heidi has been seen frequently over the last few weeks.
Seal did try to find the silver lining in the alleged affair, however, bringing up his four children and adding:
"To be quite honest, if there is going to be somebody else in their lives, I'd much rather it was a familiar face... I would have preferred Heidi show a little bit more class... But I guess you now all have the answer that you've been looking for for the past seven months."
Klum has remained mostly quiet about the split. But did she pose nude in Allure recently and Tweeted this bikini photo of herself.
If her ex-husband's tale is true, Martin Kristen is one lucky man

Sharapova And Sasha No More Engaged

Four-time Grand Slam tennis champ Maria Sharapova is no longer engaged to professional basketball player Sasha Vujacic, she revealed yesterday.
Speaking after a third-round victory Friday, Maria was asked about the relationship and said that they've split up, "since the end of spring, actually."
"It was obviously a challenging decision, you know, from both of our ends."
"I was waiting for someone to actually ask me that question," the 25-year-old Russian beauty added. "I have never really been the person to announce things."
"I never announced when we were even together or never announced we were engaged. I never have in any of my previous relationships, as well."
"It was a really nice period of time for both of us, but our career schedules just made it extremely difficult, we still have a tremendous amount of respect for each other."
Word of their engagement came in October 2010, when Vujacic proposed on the one-year anniversary of their first meeting at a friend's barbecue.
The Slovenian guard was a first-round draft pick of the Los Angeles Lakers in 2004, winning two championships with them until being traded in 2010.
Sasha then one played season with the New Jersey Nets as a teammate of Kris Humphries before leaving the NBA to play professionally in Turkey.

The Female Director Of Saudi Arabia Makes First Feature Film

The female director of Saudi Arabia's first feature film, showing at the Venice film festival, has explained how she beat the odds to produce the heartwarming tale of a girl's quest to own a bicycle.
In Haifaa Al Mansour's landmark film "Wadjda," 10-year-old Waad Muhammad plays a girl who is also testing the boundaries of a woman's place in a highly conservative society where her love for Western music and fashions land her in trouble.
Mohammed's impish personality and resilience in the face of adversity add to the poignancy of the story and left some of the film's first viewers in tears.
"She had this vulnerability and she embodied what a Saudi teenager is," Al Mansour said, speaking in the lush courtyard of the Excelsior hotel.
"I wanted to show the tension between modernity and tradition," she said.
Al Mansour said she was forced to direct what is her first feature film from a van with a walkie-talkie in some of the more conservative neighbourhoods where she could not be seen in public together with male crew and cast members.
In some areas, screaming local residents would block shooting altogether.
She said finding financing also posed a problem in a country where cinemas are officially banned and any film is considered a commercial risk.
"Wadjda" will only be available in the kingdom on DVD or on television.
"There is no film in Saudi Arabia. Showing films in public is illegal so we don't have this culture of film making. I was never able to go on a film set and get training and see how things are. It was very difficult," she said.
Al Mansour grew up in a small Saudi town as one of 12 siblings and she said her parents were always very supportive of her career even though they came under pressure from relatives who said film making was "not honorable."
"They are very traditional Saudis but they gave me all the space to be creative and that does not happen to a lot of girls," she said.
Born in 1974, Saudi Arabia's first female filmmaker studied literature at the American University in Cairo and film at the University of Sydney.
She has previously directed three shorts and the award-winning documentary "Women Without Shadows" which explores the hidden lives of Gulf women.
"Wadjda" was co-produced by Germany's Razor Film and several Saudi companies including Rotana Studios which is linked to the Saudi royal family.
The rights have already been sold in France, Germany and Switzerland.
For all the implicit criticism of the state of women's rights in Saudi in the film, Al Mansour said things are gradually changing and having a Saudi prince on board showed that officialdom was supportive of this shift.
"The fact that we shot a flim in Saudi Arabia with permission and everything says a lot about the country. It says the country is embracing art," she said.
"I think the authorities really want to see more films," she added.
"It is changing at a very slow pace. It's still a very conservative, tribal society, very religious," she said, adding: "I think women need to stick together in places like this and fight together and empower each other."
Skipping along the halls of the Excelsior with headphones firmly on, a smiling curly-haired Muhammad said she was just having the time of her life.
"I'm very excited! This is my first time outside of Saudi Arabia and my first time in a film and I'm the lead actress," she gushed.
Muhammad, who was selected through scouts as an open casting call for women would not be possible in Saudi, said her nature fit the character.
"The naughtiness is me. It's the real me. I do things I'm not supposed to!"

London Metropolitan University Has Been Shut Down , Pakistani Students In Trouble

London Metropolitan University is one of the most popular universities for the prospective students aiming to study in UK from Pakistan. Its popularity amongst the local Pakistani students can be gauged from the fact that it is a regular advertiser in all the leading newspapers of the country and was one of the first international universities to open its regional office in Pakistan.
The British government has stripped London Metropolitan University of its right to sponsor visas for overseas students, leaving thousands of students facing possible deportation.
London Metropolitan University had its Highly Trusted Status, which allowed it to sponsor visas for students from outside the European Union, revoked by the UK Border Agency on Wednesday over alleged failings in its procedures.
The move means current overseas students have 60 days to enrol on a course elsewhere, with more than 2,000 students facing deportation if they fail to find another university, according to the National Union of Students (NUS).
The union warned of “catastrophic” effects on Britain’s industry for educating students from overseas, which was estimated last year to be worth GBP14 billion.
Almost 300,000 non-EU foreign students were enrolled in Britain in the 2010-11 academic year
The university said on its website: “The implications of the revocation are hugely significant and far-reaching… Our ABSOLUTE PRIORITY is to our students, both current and prospective, and the University will meet all its obligations to them.”
Immigration minister Damian Green told BBC radio that after an audit lasting six months, the Border Agency found “a serious systemic failure where it appears that the university doesn’t have the capacity to be a proper sponsor”.
He said that a quarter of students there lacked permission to stay in the country, while there was insufficient evidence that students spoke English and no proof that half of those enrolled had been attending lectures.
But he sought to reassure prospective students that “this will not be replicated across the university sector”.
The government had formed a task force to assist current students whose visas are set to be revoked, he added.
The NUS labelled the move political, linking it with promised immigration quotas brought in by Prime Minister David Cameron’s government.
It said it had contacted Cameron to “express anger at the way decisions have been made in recent weeks and to reiterate the potentially catastrophic effects on higher education… as an export industry”.
A Border Agency spokesman said: “The latest audit revealed problems with 61 per cent of files randomly sampled. Allowing London Metropolitan University to continue to sponsor and teach international students was not an option.
“These are problems with one university, not the whole sector.”
London Metropolitan is in the top 20 British recruiters of international students, with 6,000 EU and non-EU overseas students in 2010-11, according to government figures.
It said it was working closely with bodies including the Border Agency to try to resolve the problems.

Kristen's Mother Jules Stewart Has Filed For Divorce

Just weeks after her daughter was caught cheating on Robert Pattinson, Jules Stewart has pulled the plug on her marriage to John Stewart. So sad!
Kristen Stewart‘s mother Jules Stewart has filed for divorce from her husband of 27 years, John Stewart.
Jules filed the petition on August 17 in L.A. County Superior Court, TMZ reports. The papers filed cite irreconcilable differences and reveal that the couple has been separated since June 15, 2010.
Kristen, 22, will surely be devastated by the news. We hope that Robert Pattinson can find it in his heart to reach out to her for comfort — even though she broke his heart!
Jules recently talked to Total Film about working with Kristen on the upcoming movie K-11.
“To have your daughter being so in the public eye and so popular, a lot of people accuse me of using her to get what I am. That’s a negative thing and not true. She became this big movie star. She became too big for me.”
John spoke to reporters in November, telling us how proud he was that his daughter was getting her handprint at Grauman’s Chinese Theatre in Hollywood.
“It’s unbelievable, man. It’s awesome, I am very proud!”

An Artist But Now Minister---Who Is She?

She is an artist naturally, an artist who has aesthetic sense and looks the things in the world with an artistic point of view and eye. A real artist is always honest with himself/herself, with the nation and with the profession. Ok She is Sharmila Farooqi. Talking on media about curbing corruption probably forgot that her father Usmaan Farooqi, the former chairman of Pakistan steel mills had hidden how much national money in the foreign banks. She tried and left no stone unturned to save the corruption money of her father.

National Geographic Removes "Hardcore Huntress" From The Show

Conservationist Tim Martell, 42, says a lifetime of watching National Geographic specials inspired him to pursue a career dedicated to preserving animals and their ecosystems. So he was shocked to discover that a new show about survivalists in the Alaskan wilderness would feature "Hardcore Huntress" Melissa Bachman, a well-known hunter who specializes in tracking and killing big game.
"I'm not against all forms of hunting. I'm primarily against trophy hunters," Martell told Yahoo News in a phone interview on Friday," I believe it is a wasteful.It is damaging to the ecosystem. To kill for a thrill or just a photograph is unnecessary."
In just 24 hours, one man's online petition convinced the National Geographic Channel to rethink its plans to include a big-game hunter on a new show set to debut this fall.
Conservationist Tim Martell, 42, says a lifetime of watching National Geographic specials inspired him to pursue a career dedicated to preserving animals and their ecosystems. So he was shocked to discover that a new show about survivalists in the Alaskan wilderness would feature "Hardcore Huntress" Melissa Bachman, a well-known hunter who specializes in tracking and killing big game.
Martell, who is a certified Florida Master Naturalist, was contacted by some of his friends who encouraged him to launch a petition against Bachman's involvement on the show. However, when Martell first contacted National Geographic via email, he says he received a "generic" response informing him that the network planned to move forward with Bachman's involvement.
But less than 24 hours later, Martell's Change.org petition has received more than 13,000 signatures and has gone viral on social networking sites, such as Facebook and Twitter. Martell then received another email from National Geographic, this time informing him that they had changed their minds about Bachman's involvement.
A statement released by the National Geographic Channel reads:
"The National Geographic Channel has carefully considered the public discussion of our series on surviving the wilds of Alaska currently in production and premiering sometime next year. Upon further reflection we plan to eliminate one of the survivalists from the ensemble cast, Melissa Bachman. Hunting is not the focus of the show, and we regret the misinformation that has clouded what we hope will be an exciting adventure series set in the incredible Alaskan landscape."
This is not Martell's first high-profile online protest. In December 2011, he launched a Facebook campaign against Rosie O'Donnell after she posted pictures of herself standing next to a hammerhead shark she had captured during a fishing trip. Nonetheless, Martell says he was genuinely surprised at not only the online response but also the response from the network itself.
"I really didn't think that it was going to end in a victory as quickly as it did," Martell said. "Every corporation makes errors sometimes and National Geographic is no different. And when a company loses its moral compass it's up to as us fans and consumers to remind them of their original mission statement."
