Latest news
I’ve been busy lately and I had no time in writing too many things over here. Here are some of the latest news (unfortunately, most of them are not happy)
1. Victoria Beckham is a terrible role model! I just hope girls around the world think of Posh Spice as an absolute awful role model and she should not be followed. Look at those shoes! What on Earth is she trying to pull out? That’s not glamorous, that’s stupid! But I guess it’s ok for a person who admitted she had never ever read a book!

2. Matilda Rose Ledger is now one of the richest kids in Hollywood. The family of late actor Heath Ledger decided to give every penny of their beloved son’s fortune to Matilda Rose, their granddaughter. It’s really a noble gesture coming from Heath’s parents.

3. The tourists kidnapped in Egypt last week are thought to be fine. Six of the kidnappers were shot to death by the Sudanese forces and other two were captured but there is still no word on the tourists. Let me remind you, 11 European tourists (five Italian, five German and one Romanian doctor) were kidnapped nine days ago in Egypt. The bad guys demanded a ransom of $8,8 million from the German government. The group was kidnapped on a desert plateau famous for prehistoric cave paintings. (AlJazeera.net)
4. The Chinese Milk poison scandal is going out of proportions. Tesco recalled White Rabbit Creamy Candies after it was found they contained a substance called melamine that has harmed Chinese babies for the past weeks. It is the same chemical that has contaminated formula milk in China, causing four babies to die and around 53,000 children to become sick. This is a huge hit for the Chinese government who really tried to make a good appearance at the Olympics, earlier this year. A few years ago, China was a global threat after the bird flu that killed hundreds of people in 2003. It is really strange that Chinese people would kill their own babies and risk losing bilions of dollars from exporting milk and sweets.
5. Google is going to celebrate 10 years of existence this year. And they are offering an award of $10 million for an idea that would help the world. Read more on CNN.com
6. Scarlett Johansson and Ryan Reynolds got married. The two lovebirds got engaged in May and secretely married the other day in Canada. The actress once said that monogamy is “unnatural for human beings”. And yet she married Ryan. Hopefully she passed that “monogamy not natural” period and will be faithful. If not, more gossip news for you 
7. Travis Barker and DJ AM (Adam Goldstein) surviver an airplane crash. Unfortunately, they suffered from second- and third-degree burns.
“Since both Barker and Goldstein are in overall good health and didn’t suffer from any other crash-related complications, a full recovery is expected,” said Dr. Fred Mullins of the Joseph M. Still Burn Center at Doctors’ Hospital in Augusta at a Sunday morning press conference. People.com
