Angus T Jones Loses Weight

Due to the drama surrounding Charlie Sheen, Two and a Half Men has been on hiatus since January 2011, but that doesn’t mean that the cast ofthe hit CBS sitcom has been sitting on their hands waiting for work. Angus T Jones, 17, who plays Jake on Men, recently appeared at the Creative Coalition gala in Washington, D.C. appearing like he has lost some weight (click here to view the photos). 


This doesn’t come as a surprise to us as Jones certainly has the money to do what ever he’d like to do: the 17-year-old makes an astounding quarter of a million dollars per episode. Jones was even paid a few months ago to not even work due to Sheen being fired from the comedy and production on the series being halted.

Jones has been on Men since its inception back in 2003 since he was about 9-years-old and has grown into nearly an adult since then. The fate of the series is still unknown and, if it does return, will begin filming this summer in time for a premiere later this fall. Since Sheen has been fired from the show, there have been conflicting rumors that Sheen will be returning to the series as well as other sources noting that Warner Brothers is scouting for Sheen’s replacement. 

Ryan Mallett ,Lands in England

Ryan Mallett found the perfect team to go to when the New England Patriots couldn’t resist drafting him in the third round of the N.F.L. Draft. 


The Patriots make a bold, but quality move grabbing Mallett in the third round. The Patriots can keep him and flip him for a higher draft pick later, or develop him behind Brady until Brady retires (coming sooner than later). On the flip side Mallett gets to go to one of the best organizations in the NFL with great mentors in Brady and B.B.

This draft seems to be heavy on character. Talented character concerns have been taking falls is that due to Roger Goodell’s focus on punishingcharacter problems.

anyway, too distracted and engrossed in the draft, and I’ll refine this tommorrow.
But The perfect place for Mallett was in the third round to the Patriots. Huge chip on his shoulder, great mentors, and a real chance to blossom. And when you have 200 picks in the draft you can grab projects who won’t see the field like Mallett

This is the best landing spot for Ryan Mallettbecause he lands in a stable franchise. Mallett will have the time to mature and learn how to be a true pro. The Patriots have taken on character concerns with Randy Moss and that worked out well.

Malllett may never start a game but will likely fetch New England a good draft pick trade. Don't discount how much 1 year without bad press can do for a player. Mallett will stay out of trouble and be a big trade chip for the Patriots and maybe bring in more than Matt Cassell. This is kinda likestock trading because they are buying low on Mallett and hoping he brings in more value.

And if the Patriots keep him he could be the next star in New England. Keep in mind that many have issues with Mallett's mobilty but Brady is anything but athletic. 

Prince William and Kate Middleton Royal Wedding

Prince William and Kate Middleton exchanged vows before a crowd of family and friends in Westminster Abbey on Friday, becoming the United Kingdom's most recent royal family. 

Resplendent in a white dress with re-embroidered lace and long sleeves, Middleton's dress, designed by Alexander McQueen chief designer Sarah Burton, featured a modest v-neckline, long sleeves, ball-gown skirt and simple train.

Her gown was accented by a bejeweled tiara, a laced-edged blusher veil and drop earrings. She was carrying a small bouquet of white flowers.

"We are both so delighted that you are able to join us in celebrating what we hope will be one of the happiest days of our lives," said the royal couple in a statement released in the official royal wedding program.

Middleton, who wore her hair down, smiled and waved to the gathered crowed as she stepped from her glass-backed Rolls Royce and took to the aisle of garnet-colored carpet.

Middleton was preceded by Queen Elizabeth II, who was dressed in a stunning yellow Angela Kelly suit dress and walked alongside the Archbishop of Canterbury.

At 5:15 a.m. ET, the prince made his way into the historic London church, where a throng of family, friends and celebrities awaited him. Notable figures included Olympic swimming champion Ian Thorpe, David and Victoria Beckham, director Guy Ritchie and Sir Elton John.

This is a royal wedding for a new generation, embracing YouTube, Twitter and Facebook.

Royal fanatics camped outside the church for hours to reserve for themselves the most exclusive glimpses of the wedding procession. According to media reports, an estimated worldwide audience of two billion will be watching the wedding Friday morning via television and live streams on the internet.

Social media feeds exploded Friday morning with well wishes for the soon-to-be wed couple. One message even came from outer space.

"From space, the Expedition 27 crew of the International Space Station would like to offer their congratulations and best wishes," said Catherine Coleman, a flight engineer . "We'll be watching and waiting."

On Friday morning, Queen Elizabeth II conferred new titles upon Prince William. He was named Duke of Cambridge, Earl of Strathearn and Baron Carrickfergus. The prince will now go by His Royal Highness The Duke of Cambridge.

Upon marriage, Middleton will assume the title Her Royal Highness The Dutchess of Cambridge.

The new Duke of Cambridge chose to wear an Irish Guards Mounted Officer's uniform in Guard of Honour Order with Forage Cap. William's tunic, which is guards' red, features a unique arrangement of buttons in groups of four. He is also clad in a gold and crimson sash and gold sword slings.

Family jeweler Wartski, who fashioned Prince Charles' and Camilla Parker-Bowles' wedding rings in 2005, was selected to make Middleton'swedding ring. According to Buckingham palace, the ring was made from a piece of Welsh gold the queen gave to the prince after he announced his engagement. Prince William has decided not to wear a wedding ring.

Prince William's brother and best man, Prince Harry, is charged with carrying the ring to the ceremony. Prince Harry was wearing a Blues and Royals officer's uniform.

Whether excited or scared, the royal couple has expressed one emotion: deep gratitude.

"The affection shown to us by so many people during our engagement has been incredibly moving, and has touched us both deeply," the couple said in their statement. "We would like to take this opportunity to thank everyone most sincerely with their kindness." 

Queer Pride: From Silence to Celebrations

    

Interview With Nalini Jmeela A sex Worker From Kerala

Gay Couples From Thrissur

Gabe Carimi, OT, Wisconsin 21st Overall to Kansas City Chiefs

NFL Draft 2011: Gabe Carimi, OT, Wisconsin 21st Overall to Kansas City Chiefs

Kansas City’s needs: 

1. Wide Receiver
2. Right Tackle
3. Nose Tackle
4. Inside Linebacker
5. Outside Linebackers

Gabe Carimi is who again?

By the numbers:

Age: 22

Height: 6’7”

Weight: 314

2010 Stats: Started 13 games at left tackle.

Career Stats Started 47 games at left tackle. 

By the word:

Carimi lacks the type of foot quickness that typifies successful NFL left tackles (this wasn’t a problem at Wisconsin as they were extremely run oriented), but he is tough to overpower and an absolutely dominator in the running game. He projects as a fringe LT, but a stud RT.

Why Carimi is the pick:

The Chiefs could use a receiver, but 21 is a little jigh for Jonathan Baldwin, Torrey Smith, Titus Young—so they turn their attention to the offensive line.

Castonzo is the best pure left tackle on the board, but Carimi is the best prospect overall, and for that reason I think they opt for the Badger.

Who else was considered:

1. Phil Taylor, NT, Baylor — Kansas City’s defense improved by leaps and bounds last year, and they could do so again by upgrading from Ron Edwards at the nose tackle. Taylor is the best NT in this draft, and would make life a heck of a lot easier for the Chiefs’ LBs (whoever they may end up being).

2. Brooks Reed, DE, Arizona — The Chiefs would love to grab a 3-4 OLB to complement (and/or replace) Tamba Hali, and Brooks Reed is one of the hottest names in the draft.

3. Justin Houston, OLB, Georgia — Houston was last month’s Brooks Reed—a sizeable 3-4 OLB prospect, a little raw but loaded with potential.

4. Anthony Castonzo, OT, Boston College — The Chiefs could use a RT even more than a left, but by no means does that preclude Castonzo, probably the best overall tackle left on the board, from getting consideration.

5. Derek Sherrod, OT, Mississippi State — Ibid. Sherrod isn’t quite as much of a sure thing as Castonzo is, but he has the potential to be a more successful pro. Sherrod needs to add strength, but he has the makings of an elite NFL pass blocker.

Sabarimala authorities say ‘divine light’ is man-made

THIRUVANANTHAPURAM: Kerala’s newfound rationalism has claimed the state’s spiritual USP — the annual glimmer that attracts lakhs of pilgrims from all over India to the hill shrine of Sabarimala.

After a family of tantrics attached to the forest shrine hinted that the glimmer, Makara Vilakku, was man-made, temple affairs minister G Sudhakaran and Travancore Devaswom Board (TDB) president CK Guptan have revealed that the divine light was indeed of profane origin. But they said that it cannot be confused with Makara Jyoti, a star that appears on Makara Sankranthi day along with the Makara Vilakku.

On Tuesday, Sabarimala tantri Kandararu Mohanaru, said in a statement that some people were confusing Makara Vilakku with Makara Jyothi. He said that the Makara Jyothi was a star while Makara Vilakku was a ritualistic light linked to the legend of Parasurama. He said the tribesmen still light Makara Vilakku at Ponnambalamedu every year.

“Makara Vilakku is man-made. The government cannot do anything to stop it. But not everything can be explained by rationalism,” Sudhakaran said. Lakhs of pilgrims throng Sabarimala every January to witness three glitters on the next hill. Though critics have been trying to shatter the myth with explanations ranging from celestial alignment to government-sponsored conspiracies, Ayyappa devotees blindly worshipped the light.

“The TDB has no role in lighting Makara Vilakku. It happens on a hill far from the temple. The board has never advertised that the light was a miracle,” Guptan said. 
The tantric was forced to comment on the issue after the former president of TDB, which manages the Sri Dharma Sastha Temple, said the light was lit by officials. “The devaswom board has been functioning with the help of the police and other departments. The Makara Vilakku is also done with the police and other people,” G Raman Nair told a television channel.

Sharks Vs. Kings, Final Score: San Jose Advances To Second Round With 4-3 OT Win

The second-seeded Sharks bounced back from Saturday’s 3-1 loss to win this Western Conference quarterfinal series 4-2.

Kings goalie Jonathan Quick opened the game with 16 saves in the first quarter and ended the game with 31.

Antti Niemi made 26 saves for the Sharks, who are trying to embark on another deep playoff run after making it to the conference finals a year ago. San Jose was swept by Chicago in the third round last year.

Prithviraj Marries Supriya Menon BBC Journalist

Malayalam super star Prithviraj Monday tied the knot with his childhood journalist friend Supriya Menon at a private function here. 
"Just 30 people took part in the marriage ceremony. We decided to have a purely personal affair because in our family there are very aged people and they wanted it to be a solemn function, and hence we decided to make it a very private affair," Prithivraj's mother, actress Mallika Sukumaran, told media persons outside a resort, near the bride's residence here.

Denying it was a secret affair, she said: "They have been childhood friends and we have known each other for a very long time and there was nothing secretive in this."

Supriya is the lone daughter of Vijay Kumar Menon and Padmaja residing at Mumbai. Born in Kerala, she done her schooling from Mumbai and later her graduation in journalism from University of London. She joined BBC in 2007, after working for many famous National TV channels and concentrates on rural reporting.

Prithviraj who commented in many interviews earlier about beautiful girls who doesn't match his intellectual levels is said to have been attracted to the intellect of the lady who is a hardworking journalist.

Prithvi's fans and admirers are indeed surprised why their favourite actor has maintained so much suspense and mystery over his marriage. Reports are that the bride and groom will hold a special reception on the first of May at Le Meridian hotel, Kochi, where the distinguished members of the public and film fraternity will be invited.

The 28-year-old actor made a successful debut with "Nandanam" and has starred in more than 50 films, including blockbusters like "Swapnakoodu" (2003), "Classmates" (2006), "Thirakkatha" (2008) and "Urumi" (2011).

His notable Tamil films are "Kana Kandaen" (2005) and "Mozhi" (2007).
