|  |  | | UK Monarchy: How Relevant? |
 AMID
the flag-waving and the street parties to celebrate the marriage
of Prince William and Kate Middleton on Friday, bigger questions
about the relevance of the monarchy to modern Britain lurk like
uninvited guests. Extravagant living in a time of austerity
abrades public sensibilities; unearned privilege is resented,
while snobbery and elitism are seen as dangerously outmoded.

| |  | | THE PRICE OF
DELUSION |
| COL Moamar Qadhafi is a vain man. Like
the other Arab dinosaurs he has his dyed hair, his designer
shades, his spoiled children and his compound full of sycophants.
He doesn´t want, one day, to be dragged from a rat hole
like Saddam Hussein or hauled from a bunker like the Ivory Coast´s

one at all? Here in liberated eastern Libya, where the tricolour
Qadhafi banished now flies... |

| | Too many parents think
injuries are ´part of the game´ |
 WITH
another season of warm-weather sports
under way, experts are cautioning that
many parents don´t take sports injury
prevention seriously enough — that they
consider commonplace sprains, bruises
and pulled muscles "just part of the
game." About 10 percent of the 38 million
American kids participating in sports
each year are treated for a sports-related
injury, but the US Centres for Disease
Control and Prevention estimates that
about half these injuries are preventable.
Nonetheless, in a recent national survey
sponsored by Safe Kids USA and Johnson
& Johnson, 86 percent of the parents
surveyed said their child´s injury was
"just part of the game" and... |
| | Blake Lively´s
ever-changing locks |
 GOSSIP
GIRL beauty Blake Lively darkened her
luscious blond locks for her role as
Carol Ferris in this summer´s upcoming
Green Lantern film, and now, the actress
is rocking fiery red tresses for yet
another movie. "It´s red," Blake told
Access Hollywood of her new look at
the Time 100 Gala in Manhattan on Tuesday,
where she was honoured for being named
one of the magazine´s 100 most influential
people of 2011. "I did it for a film
that I´m doing right now called, Hick."
Blake, who looked positively stunning
in a teal-coloured Zuhair Murad floorlength
gown - but who was admittedly also stuck
wearing "awful acrylic(s)" nails due
to her new role! |
| | Tusshar not afraid
of being typecast |  BOLLYWOOD actors try to avoid doing the same kind of roles again and again, but Tusshar Kapoor is an exception. He says he has no qualms about being typecast. "I have no problem in getting typecast because it has it own pros. I want to do films that people like and if they are liking my role, I am comfortable in it," Tusshar told reporters on Thursday at DT Cinemas, Saket, New Delhi. The actor was in New Delhi to promote his film Shor In The City that released recently. He was accompanied by actress Preeti Desai, who makes her debut with the dark comedy.
