| Don’ t reward your kids with sweets Posted: 28 Feb 2011 06:32 PM PST 
London, March 1 - Parents who give sweets or snacks to their children as a reward for good behaviour could set them up for a life of obesity problems. The widely-used tactic can lead to a bad adult diet, low self-esteem and eating disorders, says a new study, according to dailystar.co.uk. Researcher James Stubbs said: 'The danger is that, as adults, they will see high- calorie foods as a source of solace.' IANS |
| Abhishek, Aishwarya, Mallika dazzle on Oscar red carpet Posted: 28 Feb 2011 06:57 AM PST 
Los Angeles, Feb 28 - Bollywood star couple Abhishek Bachchan and Aishwarya Rai, along with Mallika Sherawat, dazzled in their finery at the 83rd Annual Academy Awards red carpet here. Abhishek and Aishwarya got a chance invite to the prestigious event, where Hollywood's Who's Who gathers to celebrate international cinema. The duo was holidaying in Los Angeles and were not at all prepared to attend such a high-profile event at the Kodak Theatre in Hollywood Sunday night. However, last minute help from their designer friends helped them put their best foot forward at the red carpet. Aishwarya sparkled in an off-shoulder Armani Prive bronze gown and kept her look minimalistic with just a pair of dangling earrings and hair on one side of the shoulder. Abhishek looked dapper in a traditional, formal black tuxedo. Mallika, one of the most talked about Bollywood glamour girls, flaunted a sequinned white gown, with a daring front slit and a plunging neckline - just as she likes it always! Among other Indians at the Oscars this year were composer A.R. Rahman, who was nominated in two categories - best original score and best original song - for his work in Danny Boyle's "127 Hours". However, he lost out on both the titles. Nevertheless, Rahman wore a charcoal Corneliani suit and a blue tie to the red carpet, and took a proud walk with his wife Saira Banu, who chose a beige Indo-western ensemble with a golden Judith Lieber clutch. |
| Rahman loses out at Oscars, Indians disappointed Posted: 28 Feb 2011 06:56 AM PST 
Los Angeles, Feb 28 - India's celebrated composer A.R. Rahman bagged two Oscar nominations in the original score and original song categories for his work in Danny Boyle's "127 Hours", but failed to repeat the success story of 2009 and lost out on both the awards at the 83rd Academy Awards here Sunday night. Rahman lost the Oscar for best original score to composer duo Trent Rezmor and Atticus Ross who won it for "The Social Network"; the best original song award went to Randy Newman, who won it for "We Belong Together" in "Toy Story 3". The composer, popularly known as the Mozart of Madras, also performed at the mega event, being telecast live across the world. India-born film editor Tariq Anwar, nominated for the Oscar in the best editing category for "The King's Speech", couldn't get the coveted statuette either. He lost out to Angus Wall and Kirk Baxter who won it for "The Social Network". "The King's Speech" walked away will the top honours - best film, best actor for Colin Firth, best director for Tom Hooper and best screenwriter David Seidler. In 2009, Rahman brought home two golden statuettes for best score and best song in "Slumdog Millionaire". He was the first Indian to bag two Oscars. Back home in India, where the awards ceremony was telecast early Monday morning, many woke up, hoping to see Rahman get at least one Oscar. "At least he should have got one. This is very disappointing," said Sumit Gupta, a New Delhi-based engineer. |
