Bhopal College trains girl student for self-defence

Bhopal, Aug 22 (ANI): With eve teasing becoming the order of the day, a growing number of girls in are resorting to martial arts for self defence.

Students of Sarojini Naidu College are attending 10 days self-defence training camp organised especially for girls, which began on August 17.

According to organizers the camp is aimed at motivating girls to learn basic techniques of martial arts.

The camp is being held under the banner of “Mission Prahar” a forum to prepare women in self-defence techniques.

Girls in the camp say their confidence level has risen after attending the training session.

“The situation is not so favorable for girls today. Girls want to be independent and they are opting professions where they have to work even late nights. Eve teasing has become common and there are increasing incidents of rape. We have to be strong ourselves and learn to protect ourselves rather than waiting for somebody else to protect us,” said Shivangi Sharma.

According to Deepak Dubey, the founder of “Mission Prahar” and trainer “My main motive is to put confidence in them. If somebody attacks them with knife or any other thing, they should be confident enough to protect themselves. No matter if they know Martial Arts, Kung Fu or Karate, but if they are scared and can’t defend themselves, learning these arts is useless. I want to instill courage in them.”

These workshops go a long way in helping women emerge confident to combat any form of attack. (ANI)

Becks calls Posh up to celebrate Milan move

London, Mar 7 (ANI): David Beckham has finally sealed his dream move to AC Milan, and the first thing he did to celebrate the event was to call his wife Victoria up and say “Ciao Bella”.

As part of the new deal, Goldenballs will stay in Italy until the end of the season, while Victoria will remain in Los Angeles with the couple’s three children.

“Victoria was over the moon. She knows how important AC Milan is to him and fully supports his decision. It will be tough with him being apart from the family for periods of time but they are stronger than ever,” the Mirror quoted a source as saying.

The insider added: “They are like two teenagers in love who can’t wait to see each other whenever they get the chance. Victoria thinks it is like how they were when they first starting dating.”

And under a unique “timeshare” agreement, the 33-year-old footballer will stay with the Italian giants until the end of the season, and then will play for LA Galaxy between July and October.

After that Beckham will return to Milan in November for the rest of the following season.

Earlier the former ‘Spice Girl’ wasn’t supporting her husband’s full-time transfer to Milan as she didn’t want to shift base to Italy with her kids, but later the pair talked over the issue and Posh finally gave a nod for the move.

And now Becks’ agent Simon Fuller, the man behind the Spice Girls – helped broker a deal which has suited them both.

“The children will stay in LA with Victoria so that their schooling is not disrupted,” Fuller said while speaking at the Prince’s Trust Ball.

“No one considered the possibility of him playing for both teams before, but because I’m not part of the football industry I can see that more things are possible. I’m not so constrained by what has gone before. Sometimes I’m not even aware of what’s gone before.

“I am not just coming in and shaking things up for their own sake. I want to make things better. If people don’t like it, that’s their problem,” Fuller added.

The deal comes after weeks of negotiations between the two clubs, and now Milan vice-president Adriano Galliani has said that an official announcement was imminent. (ANI)

Ashley Cole fumes over ‘drunk and disorderly behaviour’ claims

London, Mar 7 (ANI): English footballer Ashley Cole has protested claims that he chatted to a blonde bombshell, and was then arrested for drunk and disorderly behaviour at a top restaurant.

Cole, 28, who wanted to prove his innocence, ordered his people to track down the lady in question so as to prove that he did not misbehave with her.

“They had never met before and he has instructed his representatives to track her down to prove he didn’t do anything wrong. He insists nothing went on and apparently the girl also says it was entirely innocent. She is very credible and is backing his story,” the Mirror quoted a source as saying.

Lawyers have reportedly flown the woman out of the country.

The Chelsea player is already in trouble after his wife Cheryl, 25, discovered that he had broken his solemn promise not to go drinking with teammates while she was away.

The Girls Aloud singer is said to have given him a piece of her mind on March 5 when she called him up from Tanzania, where she is climbing Mount Kilimanjaro with eight other celebs for Comic Relief.

“It’s been really hard physically and mentally, but I haven’t once thought of giving up,” Cheryl, who has struggled with altitude sickness, said. (ANI)

Partygoers claim Hugh Hefner looked ‘10 years older’ at recent bash

Washington, Mar 6 (ANI): Partygoers at a recent bash at the Playboy mansion have claimed that they were shocked to see Hugh Hefner looking as if “he had aged 10 years in the last month.”

The Playboy mogul made a brief appearance at the Annual Kandyland Masquerade Ball at the iconic Mansion on February 28, but those attending the party claim that despite being surrounded by his girls, Hefner looked far from his normally alert and healthy self.

“He looked so old, like he had aged 10 years in the last month and was barely moving,” Fox News quoted a source as saying.

The source also said that the 83-year-old tycoon’s new number one Crystal held his hand, and assisted him as she “slowly shuffled” along.

And, meanwhile, his other lovers (the 19-year-old Shannon twins) marched ahead of the bunny brigade and revelled in the limelight.

Last year, Hefner said: “I have some aches and pains and I have had lower back problems since the ’80s. Too much time in bed rustling around with friends.”

However, many have claimed that the octogenarian multi-millionaire’s recent break ups with ‘Girls Next Door’ stars-Holly Madison, Kendra Wilkinson and Bridget Marquardt-have taken a toll on his health.

“Things aren’t quite the same since Holly and the girls left. Hef loves all the new ones, but I think the transition really took its toll,” said the insider.

However, Hefner’s representatives dismissed reports of any health problems, saying: “Hef is perfectly fine. In the last three weeks, Hef has traveled to Italy to be a featured guest at the Sanremo Music Festival, attended the Playboy Jazz Festival press conference and hosted his usual weekend movie night events. He hasn’t missed a day of work or an hour of partying and he’s better and busier than ever. Party guests are misinformed.” (ANI)

Washington, Mar 5 (ANI): After moving out from the Playboy mansion and her subsequent split with beau Criss Angel, Holly Madison is now all set to appear on the new season of ‘Dancing With the Stars’, according to Bridget Marquardt.

Appearing on Fox’s Web talk show ‘The Strategy Room’, Marquardt announced that her former ‘Girls Next Door’ co-star was set to fulfil a long-time dream to be on DWTS.

Lulu slams music industry for cheapening pop with semi-naked acts

London, March 2 (ANI): Veteran Scottish pop star Lulu, 60, has slammed the music industry for exploiting present-day singers as sex symbols.

She said that young female artists were being forced to dress in sexy outfits and perform provocative acts.

She blasted industry bosses saying that semi-naked routines-like those performed by the Pussycat Dolls, Katy Perry and Girls Aloud-had become more important for them than the music itself.

“Young girls today have to straddle naked before they can get noticed. It’s cheapened the music and I think it is exploitative. I would never have stripped off like that and gyrated up and down a pole,” the Scotsman quoted her as saying.

“There are talented kids who don’t need to do that, but it is just expected of them. It’s so regressive. I feel bad for them.

“To be a singer, you have to be naked and do things with your body and men on video. What has that got to do with the music?” she added.

Lulu also criticised the competitive nature of the modern pop industry, saying that talent alone was no longer enough to be successful.

“I would not want to be launching a career now. Nowadays, you have to achieve world domination or you get dropped by the record company. If the first single’s not a hit, you’re out.

Today, to be successful, it is not enough to be a good singer. You have to have an army of people all focusing on that goal relentlessly,” said the singer, who achieved stardom after her hit ‘Shout’ reached the Number 1 spot in the charts, when she was just 15 years old.

“You don’t just have to have talent and appeal. There has to be a big strategy.

“You have to be able to hold your head together, because the celebrity thing is completely out of whack. I think it’s crazy,” she added.

Lulu revealed that she loved listening to the music produced by Pink, Christina Aguilera, Duffy, Alexandra Burke and Amy Winehouse.

“I love Duffy and Alexandra Burke who just won the X-Factor. They are really talented. I’m an Amy Winehouse fan – she’s a great writer. She reminds me of the Ronettes,” she said.

She, however, also revealed that she did not like the current pop culture.

“It’s like a McDonald’s world. Everything is instant – instant success and instantly disposable,” said the Glasgow-born singer.

“Even when it was really crazy in the 1960s, it wasn’t like it is now. It is beyond insane.”

“Everybody is a celebrity. There is nobody to aspire to be. Everybody is famous and everybody is documenting every time they breathe, spit, cough or close their eyes.

“No wonder the music business doesn’t mean much any more. Then, there was a mystique about things,” she added. (ANI)

Despite permanent truce in Swat, reopened schools witness poor attendance

Mingora, Feb. 23 (ANI): All boys’ and some girls’ schools reopened in the Swat valley on Monday following a permanent ceasefire between the Pakistan Government and Taliban, but only forty percent students turned up amid security fears. Only 40 per cent of students showed up for school. This is because of the recent (unstable) situation. Another reason is that many families are still frightened and thousands more left the valley because of the fighting,” said Ziauddin Yusufzai, the spokesman for the private schools association.

All boys’ schools formally reopened on Monday, one week earlier than the scheduled start of term after the long winter holiday, The Dawn reports.

In government-run girls’ schools, only the primary section up to the fourth grade opened. But all private girls’ schools reopened, Yusufzai said.

“Girls attended classes veiled after militant leader Maulana Fazlullah announced on his illegal radio station that girls could take examinations, but only after covering themselves according to sharia,” local residents said.

After bombing 191 schools in Swat, including 122 girls’ schools, Taliban had said that girls could go to school only under the practice of total separation from men and boys.

Swat education ministry official Sher Afzal said, “We have sent proposals to the government to rebuild the schools, which will cost around 800 million rupees.”

Most private schools in Swat are concentrated in and around the main town Mingora.

Meanwhile, in a bid to counter terrorism in North West frontier Province (NWFP), Pakistani authorities have handed over 30,000 assault rifles among villagers under a plan to raise an elite police force.

NWFP Chief Minister Amir Haider Khan Hoti said the elite force was being set-up to fight growing terror and restore governance in the state.

The elite force plan requires recruitment of 2,500 personnel, and the center would be approached for additional funds, Hoti said. (ANI)

Kendra Wilkinson’s ‘low profile’ strategy to avoid media intrusion

Washington, Feb 21 (ANI): Hugh Hefner’s ex-girlfriend Kendra Wilkinson has said that she is trying to keep a low profile because she has been irritated by the prying media eye since her split with the Playboy Mogul, and the subsequent engagement with Hank Baskett.

The former ‘Girls Next Door’ star said that security scares and prying packs of paparazzi forced her out of the Hollywood heat.

Speaking at the Silverspoon Oscars House, the 23-year-old bride-to-be said that though she was excited for her June wedding with Baskett, she was trying to lay as low as possible.

“I’ve had to move to the Valley to get away from it. Being followed like that is really scary,” Fox News quoted her as saying.

However, many photo agencies have revealed that ever since Hefner’s three top girlfriends-Holly Madison, Wilkinson, Bridget Marquardt-have walked out on him, their picture value has dropped significantly.

But Kendra still sells the highest of them all.

On the other hand, the busty beauty has claimed that she has no regrets about leaving Playboy, and is the happiest she’s ever been.

She also said that her octogenarian ex, and the other two Palyboy bunnies, were still her “best friends.” (ANI)
