TV star Mischa Barton, who shot to fame because of her role in The O.C, has been feeling down in the dumps lately.
Reports have it that she’s very “hurt” over being left out of the promo shots of her new TV series, The Beautiful Life.
Mischa has been left out of the racy shots, in which the other cast members are barely wearing anything.
That’s not that surprising, considering Mischa’s excessive partying, out of whack lifestyle, and subsequent bloating, and sources say she’s aware of it.
It seems like some good did come out of it though, because Mischa is now more keen than ever to get back to her former svelte self, and has even joined a gym which she visits daily.
Sources say she’s been looking healthier and happier than she has in a long time.
Too bad then, that the show just got pulled off the air because of mixed reviews and poor viewership.
Uh-uh, that's not going to help matters at all. Let's hope Mischa doesn't take it too hard, and doesn't relapse into her previous out of control ways!

Tawam Hospital is going to launch a breast cancer awareness campaign during the whole month of October.
October is typically used to raise awareness about the disease all over the world, and Tawam aims to do the same in the UAE.
The Health Authority of Abu-Dhabi (HAAD), and Abu-Dhabi’s health services organisation (SEWA), are supporting Tawam in its efforts during the coming month.
Although the campaign aims to raise awareness about breast cancer all over the UAE, its activities will be largely concentrated in the cities of Abu-Dhabi and Al-Ain, especially in those areas where awareness is low.
The campaign will educate men, women, and families about breast cancer by highlighting the importance of early detection, regular check-ups, and self examinations.
Tawam hospital is also going to screen women aged 40 and above free of charge, using their mobile mammography van, in the areas they visit.
Lots of family and community oriented activities will also be organised, to make the learning experience fun as well as educational.
There will even be a “Fun Run” at Al Tuwaya Public Park in Al-Ain, and it’s open to anyone who wishes to participate.
As a mark of solidarity, other organisations in the community, including some media organisations, are going to celebrate “Pink Day” on October 26th. Everyone will wear at least one piece of clothing that is pink.
Tawam Hospital wants to make sure people are aware of the signs and symptoms of breast cancer, as well as being pro-active about their health. It emphasises the importance of early detection in being able to combat the disease successfully.
They do say prevention is better than cure. Here’s hoping the hospital succeeds in raising awareness, and saving lots and lots of lives.

Most people of South Asian descent are aware of what Paan is. For those who aren’t so sure,
Paan is made of various spices and ingredients that are mixed together and wrapped up in a betel leaf. Tobacco can be added for those who want. There are different types of Paan, each with its own combination of ingredients and unique flavour.
Chewing Paan is an Indian tradition, but has spread to countries like Pakistan, Bangladesh, Myanmar, Cambodia, Vietnam, and the Philippines.
Bollywood mega-star, Amitabh Bachan, sang and danced to a song about Paan in the 1978 movie, Don. Decades later, Shahrukh Khan did the same in the movie’s remake.
More recently however, signs of Paan chewing have also been found in Gulf countries like Qatar and the UAE.

The good news for Gwyneth Paltrow fans is that ZOEtee’s has launched a collection designed by her.
Gwyneth picked out the fabrics, cuts, and packaging of the clothing line.
The bad news is, the collection is apparently pretty drab and boring, fit only for women who prefer the granny look.
The colours that dominate are sombre ones, like gray and black.
The collection isn’t getting any rave reviews, and is hardly even selling.
Well, what can you expect, Gwynnie? People aren’t going to buy trash just because you have your name on it. Looks like you’re going to have to work harder if you want people to shell out some cash, instead of just slap your name on stuff and hope people will pay for it!

Rihanna’s friends say the 21 year old singer is still in love with her ex, Chris Brown, and often cries and tells them she can’t live without him.
Instead of rooting for him to get some jail time for his battering behaviour, Rihanna’s friends say that she was relieved he got off light.
Even though Brown had beaten Rihanna twice before, Rihanna still wishes things between them hadn’t ended.
She was even upset that the judge had ordered Brown to stay at least 50 yards away from her, 10, if they were at the same event.
Rihanna never requested the judge for any such order, and is unhappy about it.
The judge warned Brown that he would face jail time if he disobeyed the order.
While Rihanna is said to be feeling extremely sad and lonely without him, Brown seems to be doing just fine.
A bit too fine, that is, because he was spotted partying with his pals to celebrate getting off so light for his bad behaviour.
Move on, Riri! You can do so much better than a girlfriend beater who doesn’t even have the decency to act ashamed. Instead, he chose to go around painting the town red the same day he received his sentence!
Talk about being an insensitive jerk!

Guess who’s vying for the female lead in the remake of the famous Hollywood flick, Dirty Dancing?
It’s none other than Britney Spears!
Vanessa Hudgens and Jessica Biel are also said to have their hearts set on the role, and are trying hard to get it.
Oh Brit Brit, spare us this once will you?
We’ve already had to endure so many of your train wrecks, that we really don’t have the patience for yet another disaster!

London based English pop group, Sugababes, just announced that its last original member, Keisha Buchanan, will no longer be with the group.
The group’s official webpage confirmed yesterday that singer Jade Ewen will be replacing her.
Keisha, who’s been a member of the group for the last 11 years, said on Twitter that she was sad her time in the group had come to an end, but she’s excited about what the future holds.
Keisha stated that she still has nothing but the best to say about her band mates, and there were no fights or arguments that lead to the decision.
She did admit however, that it was not her choice to leave the band.
Record company, Island Records, has decided to keep Keisha onboard as a solo artist.
It’s clear then, that her exit from the group isn’t because of issues with the record label. But if it is indeed like she claims, and she doesn’t have any conflicts with her band members either, then what could be the reason for her having to leave without wanting to?
Looks like the mysteries just keep coming today!

Sandra Bullock showed up to the premiere of the movie, All About Steve, in a pretty monstrous creation.
Why she’d buy such an outfit, and then decide to wear it in public, is questionable.
This one is best left to Halloween, or a costume party, where you’re dressed up as some sort of curtain/rag/scarf monster.
What say?

Reality TV star, Kim Kardashian’s sister, Khloe Kardashian, is all set to marry her boyfriend of just a few weeks.
Khloe and NBA player, Lamar Odom, are said to be all set for the wedding this coming Sunday.
Guests were informed over the phone, and the ceremony will take place at a family friend’s house.
When quizzed about her upcoming wedding, Khloe stayed mum, preferring not to confirm or deny anything at all.
What’s the rush people? With most Hollywood marriages biting the dust anyway, why would someone want to take a risk like that?
Go figure.

We may be as different as the colours of the rainbow, yet Ramadan is a time of contemplation, worship, and doing good for most Muslims.
Here’s hoping this Ramadan was a blessed month for all of us, and that we all learned a thing or two about the true spirit of the season.
Now that the month of fasting is over, it’s time to celebrate.
I hope all of you have a wonderful Eid, surrounded by friends, family, and those you love most.
I'm off now, to do some Eid stuff, and then to attend a dinner at a friend's place.
More later, have fun, and stay safe!
