Shiloh wants to be a boy.

With her cropped hair and distinct lack of pretty frilly dresses, poor little Shiloh Jolie-Pitt often finds herself being compared to a boy. However, it turns out that even her own mum thinks the same thing. "Shiloh, we feel, has Montenegro style," Angelina Jolie tells Vanity Fair. "It’s how people dress there. She likes tracksuits, she likes suits. She likes to dress like a boy. She wants to be a boy. So we had to cut her hair. She likes to wear boys’ everything. She thinks she’s one of the brothers." We personally think Shiloh is too darn beautiful to ever really resemble a boy, and at least Brad and Ange are letting her do what she wants rather than dressing her up with ribbons and tutus. There's nothing wrong with being a tomboy, after all - as long as she doesn't start wearing a fake beard to look like her daddy...

The same outfit wear by Corrie girls.

The corrie girls Michelle Keegan and Helen Flanagan wear same dress.
Well, this had to be embarrassing! Whilst Corrie girls Michelle Keegan and Helen Flanagan should be applauded for ticking off some of this summer's hottest trends (Breton crop top + denim cut-offs + tan Mulberry bags + saucer-sized shades = cool) may we just point out that it's not as cool to wear them on the same day as each other. In fact, identikat outfits are only cool if you're planning some sort of Parent Trap / Sweet Valley High-related hilarity, which we can only assume these two were not. Ladies, you look great - but maybe just phone one another before work next time? It'll save you and your colleagues some shame. Have you ever rocked up to work in the same outfit as a workmate? If so, tell all.

Mr. Barack Obama and British PM David Cameron in Friendly Chat on Oil Spill and BP Role

2010-06-13T13:11:00.000-07:00

In the wake of his withering criticism of BP for its handling of the Gulf of Mexico oil spill, President Barack Obama spoke with British Prime Minister David Cameron for a half-hour Saturday and apparently assured him that his widely reported comments were not meant as a slap at Great Britain.

At least that was the take on the private telephone conversation as relayed by Cameron's Downing Street office in London. Obama, in a recent television interview, said he wasn't consulting with experts about the disastrous oil spill as a college seminar exercise, but "so I know whose ass to kick." He has also referred to the oil company by its old name, British Petroleum, though it is now an international corporation that goes by the handle BP PLC. Obama jumped on BP for its flawed response to the mess in the gulf -- the consequence of an April 20 rig explosion that blew out a well which is still spewing oil -- and for a recent PR campaign meant to buck up the company's tarred image.

The broadsides reportedly created a backlash in Britain where BP is a household name and millions of citizens depend on dividends and pension funds from the company. Cameron's office said Obama told the prime minister his "frustrations about the oil spill had nothing to do with national identity" and that he "had no inter
est in undermining BP's value." The White House "readout" on that issue was briefer, saying "the president and prime minister discussed the impact of [the] tragic oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico, reiterating that BP must do all it can to respond effectively to the situation."

It was the first substantive conversation between the leaders since Obama phoned Cameron on May 22 with congratulations on his becoming prime minister. They also discussed Afghanistan, the U.N. sanctions on Iran and the upcoming G-8 summit in Toronto. And they made a puzzling bet on the World Cup soccer match between the United States and Britain -- "the best lager against the best beer in America." But most American beer is "lager," while the Brits prefer darker ales and porter. The game ended in a tie, so we may never know who would have won what.

MARIAH CAREY PREGNANT WITH TWINS

MARIAH CAREY and her husband NICK CANNON are expecting twins.
The R and B superstar has failed to put a stop to rumours she is pregnant with her first child after she was spotted leaving a fertility clinic in Los Angeles last month (May10).

MARIAH Carey further reports by mysteriously dropping out of Tyler Perry's upcoming movie, For Colored Girls Who Have Considered Suicide When the Rainbow Is Enuf.

Her representative revealed the decision was based on medical reasons, stating, "She is not doing the movie because her doctor advised her not to. More than that I cannot comment further."

Now they are expecting a double bundle of joy.

An insider tells the publication, "Mariah is gushing that she's going to have twins. Mariah and Nick both want a big family."

And Carey has already back her work commitments to prepare for motherhood, starting with Perry's film. The source adds, "Mariah told her handlers that she's taking an unofficial family time break, and she's keeping her work load light for the rest of the year."

The singer has been dogged by pregnancy reports ever since she wed Cannon two years ago (08) - and last year (09) the couple turned to top designer Kenneth Bordewick to help style a nursery for the new Los Angeles-area home Carey and Cannon bought.

Her debut album, The Fame, was released on August 19, 2008. In addition to receiving generally positive reviews, it reached number-one in Canada, Austria, Germany, and Ireland and topped the Billboard Top Electronic Albums chart.

She has also stated fashion is a source of inspiration for her songwriting and performances.To date, she has sold over ten million albums and over thirty-five million singles worldwide.

Beyoncé's YouTube Page Blocked by Sony Not Fierce!

2010-03-28T18:58:00.000-07:00

First we find out Beyoncé's not pregnant, now her infamous music videos are on lockdown?!
By the looks of the Grammy-winning, multihyphenate's YouTube page, Sony has blocked all of B's music videos and replaced them with this message: "This video contains content from Sony Music Entertainment, who has blocked it in your country on copyright grounds."
The action comes on the heels of a copyright infringement issue involving Beyoncé's label, and as techie website Motherboard points out, no doubt stems from the floundering record industry and their desire to have a piece of the online video biz.
No word yet on when those pieces of art Beyoncé calls music videos—you know you love "Single Ladies (Put a Ring on It)"!— will be live on the web once more. We're just hoping more of our faves don't start vanishing from YouTube, too.

"In Final Season" Hills' Fans Want Lauren Conrad Back, Speidi Breakup.

2010-03-25T18:46:00.000-07:00

While Kristin Cavallari and Lo Bosworth have weighed in on what they want to see happen in the final season of "The Hills," premiering April 27, it seems that fans have two very specific ideas for what they want to see in the final 12 episodes: Lauren Conrad needs to return, and Speidi need to break up.

"I'd like to see more drama between the castmembers and new locations," Shelby told MTV News, with her friend Julia adding, "I'd also like to see Heidi and Lauren. ... If they're friends anymore or if they, like, get into a big, huge catfight."

It seems that getting LC to return is pretty high on most "Hills" fans' wish lists. "I would like to see Lauren come back on the show," Ally said. "She's my favorite. She's so cute and pretty and sweet. That's pretty much all I would really, really want to happen." Olivia added: "I'd still like to know what she's up to."

And while a lot of fans want LC back, other fans want Speidi to go their separate ways. "Heidi and Spencer [should] break up," Holly and her pal Charity agreed. "I don't really like it. She can do better." Meredith explained why she'd like to see the show's most infamous pair call it quits: "I think Heidi and Spencer should break up because he's a jerk."

"I think she can do a lot better," Erin added. "I think he's making her do a lot of bad things."

Chantelle had the perfect way to make all the fans happy: "Lauren needs to come back and maybe have a little affair with Spencer," she proposed.

What do you want to see happen in the final season of "The Hills"? Should LC come back? Should Speidi part ways? Tell us in the comments!

Fans agree that Heidi 'can do a lot better' than Spencer; 'The Hills: Final Season' premieres April 27 on MTV.

The widow of ex-Rwandan leader arrested by French official

2010-03-02T05:37:00.000-08:00

French,Paris authorities on Tuesday aprihanded the widow of the former Rwandan president killed in a plane attack widely considered the event that sparked the east African country's 1994 genocide, a judicial official said.

Habyarimana is the widow of former President Juvenal Habyarimana. She had been living in Zaire, then France after being helped out of her country on April 9, 1994, by French forces based in Rwanda. Habyarimana had demanded for political asylum at 2004 but France rejected her , saying that she was at the heart of the regime responsible for her country's genocide. In October 2009, France's Council of State refused her bid to appeal the decision.

Agathe Habyarimana was taken into custody at her home in Courcouronnes, south of Paris, on a Rwandan warrant issued on genocide-related charges, according to the official, who was not authorized to speak publicly on the matter and could not be named.

Habyarimana is the widow of former President Juvenal Habyarimana. She had been living in Zaire, then FranceApril 9, 1994, by French forces based in Rwanda. France rejected her 2004 demand for political asylum, saying she was at the heart of the regime responsible for her country's genocide. In October 2009, France's Council of State refused her bid to appeal the decision. after being helped out of her country on

Agathe Habyarimana's arrest came just days after President Nicolas Sarkozy, on a visit to Rwanda, said that those responsible for the killings should be found and punished, including any who might be residing in France.

"We want those responsible for the genocide to be found and punished. There is no ambiguity about it," Sarkozy said. "Are there any in France? The justice system must decide."

Some 500,000 people, mostly ethnic Tutsis but also moderate Hutus, were massacred in less than 100 days in a frenzy of killings led by radical Hutus. The genocide followed the plane crash that killed the president. Two French pilots were in the cockpit.

The killings ended when Tutsi-led rebels under current President Paul Kagame defeated the Hutu extremists in July 1994.

A French advocacy group for Rwandan genocide survivors says France is a "haven" for those who helped perpetrate the genocide, and it has filed 16 lawsuits against people living here.

Sarkozy's trip to Rwanda was the first by a French head of state in 25 years. His visit was meant to reconcile the two countries, which restored diplomatic ties in November.

Relations had been broken over a French probe into the genocide that resulted in arrest warrants for nine people close to current President Paul Kagame. With the arrest of Habyarimana's widow, seven warrants are still active.

In addition, Rwanda has alleged a French role in the genocide.

"What happened here is unacceptable. What happened here requires the international community, including France, to reflect on the errors that prevented it from foreseeing and stopping this horrible crime," Sarkozy told a news conference.

Rwanda's government and genocide survivor organizations often have accused France of training and arming the militias and former government troops who led the genocide. In 1998, a French parliamentary panel absolved France of responsibility in the slaughter.

Sarkozy has referred to "serious errors of judgment" and "a form of blindness when we didn't see the genocidal aspect of the government of the president who was assassinated."

In her bid for refugee status, Habyarimana had argued that she had no power and merely took care of her house, her children and her garden. Judges said her claim was not credible.

A commission ruled that though Habyarimana had no official government post, she had de facto authority in state affairs. It said she was "at the heart of the regime," and "therefore was among the officials who planned the Rwandan genocide."The judges based their decision on documents and testimonies.
