Another insider tells the website the stars have been together since at least November.

Michelle Williams not to star with her daughter in movies

Michelle Williams wants five-year-old Matilda, her child with the late Heath Ledger, to choose her own path in life.

The 'Brokeback Mountain' star has admitted that she once thought about letting a director cast Matilda with her in a film, but ultimately decided against the opportunity.

"There were a few very sweet, very light scenes that were more about playing. They were having a hard time finding a child and I said to the director, 'Gosh, Matilda would be the right age'," the Daily Star quoted her as saying.

"But then (I) realised if that''s something she''s interested in, then it''s a choice she can make in her own life. It''s something she''s never expressed interest in doing. Her interests are horseback riding, Flamenco dancing and taking care of puppies," the 'Blue Valentines' actress added.

SRK the brand ambassador for XXX Energy Drinks?

MJ Group firm XXX Energy Drinks Limited is eyeing on a Rs 100 crore expansion plan next year and wants Bollywood star Shah Rukh Khan as the brand ambassador of its products.

"We are in talks to get Shah Rukh Khan as brand ambassador… We will officially announce in March or April next year," JMJ Group Vice Chairman Sachin Joshi told PTI.

At present, the firm sells four brands - XXX, Rejuve, Nicofix and Minus, in India and abroad.

Sizzling debutantes in year 2010

The year 2010 was marked by some very beautiful, talented and of course sexy girls who made their debut in the tinsel town and left the cinegoers panting for more. Interestingly, more girls stepped in than the boys, the only male debutant to get noticed being Ranvir Singh who got appreciation for his performance in 'Band Baaja Baraat'. Though, there are many names which made their presence felt, we list down our top 5 favorite debutant hotties:

Sonakshi Sinha:

She is definitely the most promising and the most talked about debutant in the year 2010 who gave a huge hit with the biggest box office collections with 'Dabangg' where she starred opposite none other than Salman Khan himself. Being Shatrughan Sinha's daughter, the tinsel town was not new for her but the entire credit for her fan following goes to her poise and performance alone.

Barbara Mori:

This Mexican beauty created more stirs with the rumors of her alleged affair with Hrithik Roshan than her performance in 'Kites'. The movie failed miserably at the box office and though none can question her oomph and appeal and her perfect, sizzling chemistry with Hrithik Roshan, she failed to set cash registers ringing with her Bollywood debut.

Aruna Shields:

This British actress set temperatures soaring as she looked amazingly sexy in her bold and bikini clad avatar in her debut film 'Prince. There after, this bold actress with doe-like eyes and a svelte body went a step ahead and shed her clothes further for 'Mr Singh Mrs Mehta' in a few scenes.

Trisha Krishnan:

Though Trisha is a successful and known name down South, she made her debut in Bollywood with 'Khatta Meetha' where she was paired with Bollywood superstar Akshay Kumar. However, the role was not a very glamorous one and it failed to give the desired push to her career in Bollywood.

Lisa Hayden:

Super model Lisa Hayden, half Malayali and half Australian created waves with her debut in Aisha. Lisa was busy walking the ramp in fashion weeks until Bollywood knocked at her door. She was seen as Abhay Deol's friend in the movie Aisha. It may be mentioned here that Anil Kapoor himself approached her for the role.

PUFFY FACE


Do you ever wake up in the morning and wonder what happened to your face? It looks bloated and puffy, and you have no idea what went wrong. You just put it down to a bad face day, do whatever makeup you can to look a little better, and continue with your day believing that whatever went wrong will just correct itself eventually. There's nothing you can do about it, right Wrong.

First, think about this. Did you exercise today? If not, why not Perhaps because there is no real sense of urgency. If we don't exercise 3 times a week, we don't fall sick on the weekend. But, if our bodies did indeed tell us what we are doing wrong regularly, we would definitely pay more heed.

However, what most of us don't realize, is that our bodies do let us know, in various ways, that something we are doing is wrong, but most of us either don't notice, or ignore it until it goes away and we feel the full effects only years later,

Our face is an accurate indicator of our health. When our bodies are undergoing hormonal changes, we know because we start developing pimples, or thicker facial hair. When we are very stressed, we start experiencing hairfall. When we smoke too much, our lips go black much before our lungs collapse. Similarly, the effects of unhealthy habits such as an improper diet or lack of exercise are only visible years later. When we start putting on weight, develop high blood pressure, problems with our kidneys or lungs due to excessive smoking or drinking, heart problems, or when we develop any other of the numerous lifestyle related problems, we start getting more conscious about our health and habits. Our faces are thus telling us what we did wrong recently. We drank too much Coke or alcohol, ate too many burgers, or exercised too little.

Similarly our faces get puffy when:


We are dehydrated. If we haven't had enough water to drink, our bodies tend to absorb whatever water it can, and as a result blood vessels enlarge, leading to a puffy face. To prevent this, make sure you drink a glass of water every night before going to bed. Keep a bottle of water by your bedside table so you never forget to take that last glass of water. If you wake up and see that your face is puffy, reach for some water immediately and drink up. Avoid tea or coffee, since these are diuretics and will flush even more water out of your system. Keep drinking water through the day, and the puffiness, if caused by dehydration, should reduce.

Our diet is inadequate. We need to take in some fat, so that our skin stays supple. In addition, if your body lacks in beta-carotene or vitamin C, it will show in your face. One of the best things you can have to instantly nourish you and your skin is watermelon juice. Put a large piece of the fruit, along with the seeds, in a blender, extract the juice and drink up.

Good News and Bad News
