India's trade minister has authored a new book titled "India's Century : The Age of Entrepreneurship in the World's Biggest Democracy". A Govt of India press release :
...the book presents an account of India's emergence, from the backwater of global economy to its frontline, generating aspirations for the future based on the recent outstanding achievements. The book explores and goes on to unwind the secret of India's present day journey of transformation in to a global economy. The book goes on to explain on how an economic engagement by the leading nations of the world with India can be profitable for everybody in the coming years. The book has gone beyond the 'flat world' view and explore his people's unique can-do attitude and the entrepreneurial spirit that, in combination with economic liberalism, has put the economy on the fast track. The book, published by McGraw-Hill of New York, is a first hand account of Shri Kamal Nath's ideas, initiatives and his successfully taking the Indian businesses on to the global platform while at the same time, laying a kind of a roadmap for the Indian entrepreneurs to benefit from emerging trade opportunities.
This title is sure to sell a good number of copies, given that many around the world would want to understand Nath's worldview. India through Kamal Nath is playing a pivotal role in the ongoing Doha talks. Besides, India is being courted by many as a potential free trade agreement partner.
Drea de Matteo and her boyfriend, Shooter Jennings, had a baby girl last night reports Drea is the chick from the Sopranos and Joey.
Those crazy hippies named their baby Alabama Gypsy Rose. They forgot the "Lee" part.
Let's see with that name she can either be a stripper at a roadside club in Oklahoma, a failed folk singer or a chain-smoking cocktail waitress at Waffle House. Basically, she's going to be hot.
thanks
If I ever have twins, and they turn out retarded, I'm going to name them Alabama and Mississippi.
I can say this, bitches, as I'm a Southerner. :)

She acknowledges that she is by no means a master of the game but has learned a lot more since playing in the tournament.
In the interview Helen goes on to provide a few pearls of . She points out that her style is not to be patient, as many poker players will advise.

Added two new sets of pictures to the gallery. Firstly, shots from her recent appearance on TRL in America. Secondly, a selection of pictures from her performance at Christmas In Rockefeller Center last night.

Added performance shots from last week's American Music Awards to the gallery. We're still undecided on our favourite part of the show, but it's either Rihanna's magnificent backside or the surprise appearance of Chaka Demus & Pliers doing a bit of Murder She Wrote during Alicia Keys' set.

SNL cast member and former rock drummer Fred Armisen tells the story of how he survived his awkward high school years: by corresponding with none other than filthy film director John Waters.
I heard this movie director on the radio named , who was talking about his book called Shock Value. It was about how he wanted to shock the world. That's what he wanted to do to make a living. I went out and I bought his book. I never read, but that was one book I read all the way through. I wanted to be someone like him.
I got his address, and I wrote him a fan letter. He was called "the Prince Of Puke," so in [my letter] I said, "Dear John, I want to take over your puke-dom, I want to be the next Prince Of Puke and I want to shock people." He wrote me back! I was 15 years old, and I couldn't believe it. He gave me advice. We sent each other postcards. I had this pen-pal relationship with John Waters.
One day I'm watching the David Letterman show. John Waters was the guest. David Letterman said, "You must get some strange mail." And then John Waters told this story about a kid named Fred that wrote to him. I was so freaked out, I just screamed! I couldn't believe he was talking about me on TV. Ever since then he's written to me. He's sent me Christmas cards. I still get mail from him.
