Lindsay Lohan Nude Again: Lindsay Lohan Topless For Love Magazine as Marilyn Monroe

Lindsay Lohan’s latest photoshoot, this time for Love Magazine, has again been inspired by Marilyn Monroe.
Lohan had earlier done something similar for the January/February 2012 issue of Playboy magazine, which gave her a chance to save her floundering career.
The ‘Mean Girls’ star has been having a troubled time as she has been jailed five times in as many years and even had to spend some time in the Betty Ford rehab clinic in 2010, the Mirror reported.
The latest photos show Lohan smoking in all her pictures and one of them has her posing with a gas stove in sexy black attire.
The photos of Lindsay, who has been jailed five times in as many years, are in Love magazine, out today.

Randy Travis Arrested: Country Singer Randy Travis Arrested Outside Texas Church For Public Intoxication

Country singer Randy Travis has apologized after being arrested on a charge of public intoxication outside a North Texas church.
Denton County sheriff’s spokesman Tom Reedy says police in the town of Sanger arrested Travis early Monday after spotting a vehicle parked in front of a church and finding an open bottle of wine and Travis smelling of alcohol.
Reedy says Travis, whose hits include “Forever and Ever, Amen,” was brought to the Denton County jail about 1:30 a.m. and released six hours later.
The singer, who lives in the small town of Tioga near Sanger, apologized in a statement to The Associated Press “for what resulted following an evening of celebrating the Super Bowl.”
Travis, who launches a concert tour Friday, says he’s “committed to being responsible and accountable.”

Model Ioana 20-Inch Waist: Romanian Model Ioana With 20-Inch Waist Dubbed ‘Human Hourglass’

Model Ioana is 5ft 6ins and weighs just 84 pounds — and while her hips are 32ins, her waist is only five inches bigger than a CD.
Yet Romanian Ioana, 30, insisted: “No one seems to believe it, but every day I eat three big meals and I snack on chocolate and crisps all the time. I just have a small stomach. It’s a bit like having a natural gastric band — if I eat too much, I feel sick.”
Ioana weighed more than seven pounds at birth. It was only as she became a teenager that she started to look different.

She said: “When I was 13 my waist was around 15 inches. Someone could put their hands around it, their fingers would touch and they would still have extra room.” Even in her 20s she struggled with her self-esteem. She explained: “In Romania it is better to be overweight, because that means you are from a wealthy family.
“So while my friends were going out and dating, I was sitting at home with Mars bars wishing I could fatten up.”
In 2006 she met a German-born Jan. They dated for eight months before marrying in Berlin.
Ioana said: “Jan was the first person who saw me as beautiful and encouraged me to celebrate my body. He asked me to pose in some photos for him.
“He was so impressed he put them online and the response was amazing.
“I would still like to gain weight so I don’t look so shocking — and now that I live in Germany I can’t get enough pizza or kebabs.
“But I’m finally comfortable in my own skin.”

Government will help Yuvraj Singh: Sports Minister

New Delhi: Sports Minister Ajay Maken has come out in support of Yuvraj Singh, who is undergoing cancer treatment in the United States.

Maken said the government will help Yuvraj, as the nation prays for his speedy recovery. "Wish Yuvraj a speedy recovery! Asking officials to find the quantum and nature of help required. Government shld & will help him," Maken tweeted last night.

Yuvraj, who played a stellar role in India's ODI World Cup triumph last year, has been diagnosed with cancer and is undergoing chemotherapy in the US.

The 30-year-old left-hander has been in US since last month being treated for what was earlier claimed to be a tumour in the lungs by his family. But it has now been diagnosed as malignant and Yuvraj is currently undergoing chemotherapy in the Cancer Research Institute in Boston.

Wishes and prayers are pouring in from all corners of the world.

While Yuvraj's father Yograj refused comments on the matter, his mother Shabnam Singh told a national daily that her son was doing fine. "He is fine and will be back soon on the field. Don't worry," she said.

His physiotherapist Dr Jatin Chaudhary, however, assured that the ailment is curable and the batsman would be fit to resume cricket in May.

"It is a rare tumour and is cancerous but it has been detected in stage one itself. Doctors had to decide whether to continue medication or go for chemotherapy but since parts of the tumour are just above the artery of his heart, there was a danger that while running it could burst. But it is 100 per cent curable," Chaudhary said.

"The doctors decided that he would have to undergo chemotherapy and he travelled to the US on January 26. End of March, he would undergo a CT scan and should recover by then. After that it is just some rehabilitation in April before he is fit to be back on the field in May," he added.

"Thankfully no surgery is required, he is already a lot better than what he was and can't wait to be back on the cricket field," he said.

Chaudhary said the detection of cancer was delayed by wrong diagnosis by an Indian hospital.

"His first biopsy report was stolen from his car and the second from a hospital, I don't want to name, did not give the correct diagnosis. It was a Russian doctor who detected the cancer and after consultations with doctors in US, it was decided that Yuvraj would undergo chemotherapy," he said.

"Once he is done with chemo in March, his rehabilitation would be complete by April end and he would be perfectly fit to play in May," he added.

Yuvraj has played 37 Tests, scoring 1775 runs at an average of 34.80.

He has 8051 runs at an average of 37.62 from his 274-match ODI career, the highlight of which was his stellar role in India's World Cup triumph last year.

In 23 Twenty20s, Yuvraj has scored 567 runs at 31.50.

I kindly ask all of you to join me on this positive chain and pray for him, so he can feel confident, healthy and strong. Envision him happy and fulfilled experiencing with his team a victory this Sunday.”

Antrix-Devas Deal Report: Panel Reports On Antrix-Devas Deal Released

The Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) on Saturday released reports of two committees on the controversial Antrix-Devas deal on the basis of which former ISRO chief G Madhavan Nair and three other scientists were barred from holding any government posts.
The reports clearly indict the four scientists and say the Antrix-Devas deal lacked transparency.
The panel further recommended that action needs to be taken against Nair and the three other scientists.
The five-member high level team, which was set up to examine the deal and identify the acts of omission and commission by government officials, stated in its report, “…there have not only been serious administrative and procedural lapses but also suggestion of collusive behaviour on the part of certain individuals and accordingly, responsibilities have to be fixed for taking action…”
Apart from Nair, the three other top scientists who figured in the list of permanent exclusion from government appointment in future are K Bhaskaranarayana, former scientific secretary at ISRO; K R Sridharamurthi, former managing director of Antrix, commercial arm of ISRO; and K N Shankara, former director of the ISRO satellite centre.
The government had on February 10, 2011 set up the High Powered Review Committee with BK Chaturvedi and Prof Roddam Narasimha as members to review the technical, commercial, procedural and financial aspects of the Antrix-Devas agreement of January 2005.
The five-member high level team, headed by former Central Vigilance Commissioner Pratyush Sinha, was set up on May 31, 2011 to examine the deal and identify the acts of omission and commission by government officials.
