Jessica Alba to wannabe plastic surgery look-alike – don’t do it
A woman in China wanted to do a plastic surgery to look like Jessica Alba and Alba responded with a positive message, after a month.I am wondering if it has anything to do with the upcoming romantic comedy movie ‘Valentine’s Day’, featuring Jessica Alba, and arriving in theaters on Feb. 12.
Last month, Xiaoqing, the 21 year-old Chinese student, told a newspaper in Beijing about her plan to undergo a surgical transformation to look like Jessica Alba. She told that her ex-boyfriend was a huge fan of Jessica Alba’s films and wanted his girlfriend to look like Alba. She wants to win back her Jessica Alba obsessed boyfriend by converting herself to Jessica Alba look-alike.

Namrata Shrestha’s latest interview
Namrata Shrestha, one of the top model/actress, told that she is currently preparing herself to act on a movie based on a drug addict. She was talking to a journalist of nepalisite.com in her latest interview (video attached below). The interview probably is the first such public appearance of Namrata after the release of a sex scandal video in September 2009. The scandal however wasn’t mentioned in the interview.
Namrata has proven her acting talent in the movies Sano Sansar and Mero Euta Saathi Chha. Many of the film industry personnel and the film viewers do not want to loose such a talented actress because of a stupid video that was released accidently. The interview seems to be the first step towards the re-establishment of Namrata’s acting career. Previously, she was also rumored to host the KTV film award show, but she didn’t showed up in the event.

But, the rumour of Apple tablet was too much not to notice!Today Apple CEO, Steve Jobs, revealed the much waited mystery touch screen device. Many expected it to cost about $1,000 but it came with a much cheaper price tag. Given the features and specifications, the device in itself doesn’t seem to be that much revolutionary. It was a bit underwhelming for the most. Said that, it is also true that the device holds a lot of promise. Read the rest of this entry »
