The Harry Potter trio are back to save Hogwarts from dark forces in the eagerly anticipated sixth film in the series. A year after the last Potter film, Harry Potter And The Order Of The Phoenix, JK Rowling’s creation is back in British cinemas in November with Harry Potter And The Half Blood Prince. In this sneak peek of the new film, the young stars are looking more grown-up than ever, seven years after they leaped to fame in the first movie, Harry Potter And The Philosopher’s Stone.

Back together: Harry Potter (Daniel Radcliffe), Hermione Granger (Emma Watson) and Ron Weasley (Rupert Grint) are back as the magic trio in Harry Potter And The Half Blood Prince.

Kate Moss proved she still has a certain je ne sais quoi in a new photo shoot set in Paris. Kate teams up with emerging French actor Gaspard Ulliel, who is ten years her junior, in the latest campaign for luxury label Longchamp.

He may be just six years old, but it seems Angelina Jolie’s adopted son Maddox has been teaching his famous mother a thing or two.  Maddox, who was born in Cambodia, has apparently been helping Angelina learn French while the family have been living in Aix-en-Provence in France, the Daily Mirror reports.

The Tomb Raider star, who is due to give birth to twins with partner Brad Pitt in the next few weeks, reportedly said: "We’re all trying to master French at the moment, which has become quite funny.  "Maddox is doing the best - he corrects me all the time.

"Hopefully one day we’ll all speak English and French and the children will speak the languages of their lands too. That’s the plan."  Source

Omkari Panwar, the 70 year-old wife of a retired farmer, delivered the twins — a boy and girl — via Caesarean section.    Living in Muzaffar Nagar, Uttar Pradesh, in northern India, Mrs. Panwar, who has two adult daughters and five grandchildren, underwent in-vitro fertility treatment so she could produce a male heir. Her husband, Charan Singh Panwar, 77, mortgaged his land, sold his buffalos, spent his life savings and took out a credit card loan to finance the treatment. “At last we have a son and heir,” he said. “We prayed to God, went to saints and visited religious places to pray for an heir." “We kept no stone unturned and God has rewarded us. The treatment cost me a fortune but the birth of a son makes it all worthwhile. I can die a happy man and a proud father.”

Tell us, why is Mr. Panwar not sufficiently proud of his two daughters and their five children?  He needed a son so he could die happy?  What kind of a messed up backwards culture produces people with such wildly sexist attitudes?  Take a look at the picture - doesn’t Mrs. Panwar look like she would prefer Charan die before she was forced to produce an ‘heir?’  Maybe Mr. Panwar should have spent some of his money on some teeth. 

AP - The White House said Thursday that dangerous detainees at Guantanamo Bay could end up walking Main Street U.S.A. as a result of last month's Supreme Court ruling about detainees' legal rights. Federal appeals courts, however, have indicated they have no intention of letting that happen.

AP - The plan was nothing if not audacious: A turncoat persuades rebels to bring together their most prized hostages and march them 90 miles through Colombia's wilderness. A month later, disguised commandos primed with acting lessons land in a helicopter and trick the rebels into handing them over.
