Veena Malik: 'Nude pose' Pakistani model 'doesn't rule out a naked shoot in the future'



Pakistani actress and model, Veena Malik, had everyone's attention when rumors about her nude photoshoot for the cover of FHM India's December issue did the rounds of the Internet. Although the model has denied having done any such shoot, the magazine's editor insists it did, in fact, happen, claiming to have proof - e-mails exchanged between the magazine and Veena. More drama followed, when she sued the magazine for defamation and the magazine counter-sued their cover girl.
At the end of the day, however, the news and the issue have been doing the rounds
of the Internet with nary an angle being spared. The controversy has
made it particularly big, among feminists, entertainers and even commentators on the Islamic religion.
Veena Malik, the Pakistani model and actress at the centre of a storm about allegations that she posed nude for a men’s magazine, is reported to have said that the stress of the controversy has aged her.
Referring to FHM India, the 33-year-old is reported to have said: “I feel completely cheated. They've added ten years to my age.”
She said.“Why is sexuality such a big problem? Are we actually grown up? Are we still living in the jungles?”
It has also been reported that Malik is claiming the support of her fans – and wouldn’t rule out a nude shoot in the future.
She is reported to have said: '”I'm a very strong person. If I did something like that, I would stand by my actions.
“Would I pose nude In the future? Who knows what will happen tomorrow.”
Ms Malik's lawyer, Ayaz Bilawala, has denied the FHM India nude cover photo was authentic and that she was wearing underwear throughout the entire shoot.
He has demanded all copies of the magazine be removed from news-stands and is suing for £1.3 million in damages.
Other reports suggest that the internationally-franchised magazine is seeking damages of 250 million rupees against the controversial star.
Regarding the images concerned, Malik claimed she was not paid for the shoot – although she did clarify defiantly that it was “topless” but not nude.
“If you look at my shoot, I do admit that I have done a topless shoot,” she said.
“But it was not that topless - a proportion of the body was covered with my hands.
“I liked the idea of a bold shoot, but I did not do a nude shoot - that's why I am standing here today, because I have to prove it.”
She added: “I won't allow anybody to remove my bikini or my shalwar (loose trousers) or my dupatta (scarf).
“If I want to do it, I will do it myself. And if I do it, I will own it.”
And asked about reports that she has been disowned by her father, Malik insisted that she would win her family over.
“My father is angry. I did not speak to him.
“They are my family and I love them.... Once I have won this case I will go back to my family and convince them.”

Skipper saved from strong wind

A STORM that brought wild weather to the Cooloola Coast stranded Brian Sweeney's catamaran on Thursday night also brought in his rescuer.
Mr Sweeney, who regularly takes backpackers over to Fraser Island for a day of fun in the sun, was caught unawares in strong gale-force winds about 5.30pm.
The Tin Can Bay resident and experienced skipper of the NPFS has been sailing since he was 12 years old, and was not worried when the wind picked up, but the crew of the Cat Knapp said he looked to be in a spot of bother stuck on a sandbank near the Tin Can Bay inlet.
Mr Sweeney said the storm "blew out" his sails, and his rudder had been damaged the week before.
"It was bloody terrible," he said of the storm.
Skipper of the Cat Knapp and CEO of marine conservation group OceansWatch, Chris Bone, said he was making his way down from Cairns to Mooloolaba when he decided to seek shelter at Tin Can Bay.
He said after 5000 nautical miles his catamaran needed a break.
The OceansWatch crew has travelled to Vanuatu, the Solomon Islands and Papua New Guinea on-board Cat Knapp before coming back to Australia.

11 Things You Won't Believe Governments Have Banned


1.Australia:- Porn Featuring Small Breasts

Are you an adult woman in Australia with a cup breasts? According to Australia, you don't exist. Do you happen to be a man who likes to watch adult films starring small-breasted women? According to the Australian government, you secretly love child porn. If none of this makes sense to you, then you must not work for the Australian Classification Board who has banned multiple adult films from distribution because, in their opinion, the actress' smaller breasts made them appear to be under 18.

While the law doesn't outright ban porn featuring small breasts, the ABC has the right to ban all adult films that depict a woman as being under 18. While this idea sounds fine in theory, the group has actively rejected some films based solely on the breast size of the actresses involved. (Link 1 | Link 2 | Photo)

2.China: Avatar in 2D

While the army in Avatar is undoubtedly American, the idea of people siding with an indigenous population against an imperialistic force is something that China was not comfortable with. That's why shortly after the release of the movie in China, the authorities decided the movie could only be shown in 3D. Since there are very few 3D theaters in China, the move was effectively a ban on the film. (Link | Photo)

 

 

3.Greece: Video Games

China's not the only country to ban video games. Greece did too, although for a much different reason. In 2002, the government tried to crack down on electric gambling machines, but their legislators wrote the law so broadly that it managed to cover all forms of electronic gaming machines –meaning all video games. Amazingly, someone was even caught and arrested for violating the poorly written law by playing an MMO in an internet café. They were actually forced to serve time in prison for playing games.
Fortunately, after receiving pressure from the EU and video gamers everywhere, the law was found to be unconstitutional by the end of the year. (Link 1 | Link 2 | Photo)

4.China: Game Consoles

Most game consoles are made in China and Chinese prisoners are often forced to play World of Warcraft so the government can collect their loot and sell it to other players, which is why it seems so utterly bizarre that China doesn't allow the sale of gaming consoles. The ban took place back in 2000, when the government expressed its concern that the country's youth would waste their time playing games instead of working. Even so, gamers are still permitted to buy non-console games, making the ban notably ineffective –which is probably why it is not extensively enforced. (Link | Photo)

 

5.Russia: Emo Clothing

Plenty of people don't like emo fashion, but while it's not that weird for a parent to tell their kids they can't wear that crap outside the house, it's entirely different when the whole government takes such a drastic stand. When the Russian government was trying to stop high suicide rates amongst teens though, they decided emo fashion were to blame.
The government went so far as to dub the style “a threat to national stability” before banning people from wearing emo clothing to public schools or government buildings. Don't worry sullen teens of Russia, you can still listen to all the forlorn emo music you want, you just can't dress like you listen to it. (Link | Photo)

 

 

6.China: Reincarnation Without Prior Consent

On the face of it, the idea of banning someone from reincarnating without obtaining the state's permission is preposterous and something they absolutely can't control. In reality though, the measure is their way to trying to take control of the Tibetan Buddhists (including the Dali Lama himself) by trying to rule over one of their most sacred beliefs.

7.Iran: “Western” Hair Cuts

Like many Middle Eastern governments, Iran hates the impending spread of decadent Western culture. In order to better protect their people from the depraved culture of Europe and North America, the government of Iran has banned all hair cuts that are not included in their list of government-approved styles. Banned styles include mullets, ponytails and spikes. Barber shops that fail to follow the law can be shut down and penalized in the years since the law took effect. (Link | Photo)

8.Saudi Arabia: Valentine's Day

Similarly, Saudi Arabia finds Valentine's Day to be in violation of Muslim beliefs. In order to ensure residents don't secretly send gifts to their Valentine's, the government orders all florists and gift shops to remove anything red or otherwise considered to be a symbol of romance prior to the holiday. Apparently the ban on the holiday isn't entirely successful and the country now has a thriving Valentine's Day black market where lovers can buy red roses and other tokens of romance at around six times their ordinary prices.

9.Denmark: Ovaltine and Marmite

In America, it's practically impossible to purchase milk that isn't fortified with vitamin D, but in Denmark, this would be completely illegal. That's because the country has put a ban on all fortified foods, effectively banning fortified breakfast cereals, Ovaltine and Marmite.

Update: According to the Denmark Embassy in England, it's not illegal to sell or possess Marmite, just to advertise it. (Link 1 | Link 2 | Photo)


10.Denmark: Most Baby Names

Fortified snacks aren't the only thing Denmark wants to put an end to. The country also has some of the strictest child naming guidelines in the entire world. In fact, citizens of the country can only select names on a list approved by the government or they must seek permission from the government for an exception to the rule. Right now, the officially approved names list contains only around 24,000 names. (Link | Photo)

 

11.China: Jasmine

After the “Jasmine Revolutions” in Tunisia, Chinese protestors were inspired to spark their own revolution. As a result, authorities cracked down not only on the rebels, but on the flower itself. The plant is now banned in the country, as are songs about the flower and text messages including the word “jasmine.” (Link | Photo)

Bishop Eddie Long's wife decides again to seek divorce

The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
The reconciliation of Vanessa and Eddie Long didn't make it through the day, as the wife of the charismatic New Birth Missionary Baptist pastor has decided against withdrawing her petition for divorce filed late Thursday afternoon.
John Amis, AP Vanessa and Eddie Long, the beleaguered pastor of New Birth Missionary Baptist Church, have been married for more than two decades.
"Mrs. Long continues to hope that this matter may be resolved expeditiously, harmoniously and fairly; however, she has determined that dismissal of her divorce petition is not appropriate at this time," Kilpatrick Townsend partner Michael W. Tyler said in a prepared statement.

"To avoid any undue confusion, Mrs. Long's future statements, if any, will be issued through her attorneys," he said. A spokesman for Kilpatrick Townsend refused further comment.
Vanessa Long released three statements to the media Friday. First she announced she was seeking to end her 21-year-marriage following "a great deal of deliberation and prayer."
Then, around lunchtime, in a statement sent through New Birth's public relations firm, Vanessa Long said, upon further "prayerful reflection," she was withdrawing the divorce petition.
"I love my husband," she said in the second press release. "I believe in him and admire his strength and courage."
Long, a New Birth elder, said her decision to seek a divorce was driven by "years of attacks in the media that frustrated and overwhelmed me." She and her husband "mutually agreed to find healing," Vanessa Long said.
Six hours later, her attorneys announced she was proceeding with the divorce "consistent with her original [statement] made this morning."
In the divorce filing, Vanessa Long, 53, said her marriage to the New Birth pastor was "irretrievably broken" and there was "no hope of reconciliation." The couple has been in a "state of separation," according to the petition.
"Vanessa is, and has always been, a loving, dedicated and committed wife and mother," Bishop Long said in a statement Friday night. "My love for her is deep and unwavering. It remains our sincere desire to continue working together in seeking God’s will in these circumstances."
Vanessa Long has kept a low profile since the September 2010 lawsuit filed against her husband by former New Birth members Anthony Flagg, Spencer LeGrande, Jamal Parris and Maurice Robinson alleging the bishop used his influence, trips, gifts and jobs to coerce them into sexual relationships.
Though she has never spoken publicly about the allegations, she provided her husband with a symbolic lift when she appeared by his side at New Birth the Sunday after the lawsuit was filed. The bishop, who told his congregation that day he planned to "vigorously" fight the allegations against him, reached a settlement with his accusers in late May after months of mediation.
A bio on New Birth's website describes Vanessa Long as "the quiet strength in the Long family ... an awesome woman of God in her own right. She is an inspiration to many of the women at New Birth as they watch her lovingly and quietly support her husband in every sense of the word."
This would be Bishop Long's second divorce. His first wife, Dabara S. Houston, alleged she was the victim of "cruel treatment" and claimed she was afraid of her husband's "violent and vicious temper," according to Fulton County Superior Court records. She and her son "had to flee [the couple's Fairburn home] in order to ensure their safety," the documents say.
The couple was married in 1981 and separated after a couple years, according to the documents. Long's first wife made the abuse allegation in a counterclaim after he petitioned for divorce, citing irreconcilable differences.

A 'stay-sober' pill: Coming to a pharmacy near you?

A new in-development drug treatment may help prevent drunkenness and potentially stave off those embarrassing moments of public intoxication. Photo: Sonja Pacho/Corbis
Korea already sells supposedly hangover-free alcohol, but what if a pill could stop you from getting drunk in the first place? That's the premise of a new "stay sober" tablet reportedly under development in Australia. The pill, which limits the effect of alcohol on the brain, is being tested on mice — who showed no signs of becoming "tipsy," despite being administered enough alcohol to make them "fall over," reports Britain's Telegraph. Would this just take the fun out of drinking? Here's what you should know:

How does the pill work?
It relies on naloxone, an FDA-approved drug that is typically used to treat heroine overdoses. Researchers used naloxone to target the brain's glial cells, which the immune system uses to protect the brain from outside attack. Mice who were injected with the drug and then given alcohol showed no loss of motor skills. The "groundbreaking discovery" here, says Nick Greene of the Village Voiceis that our immune systems may have more to do with drunkenness than our nervous systems.
And this would work on people, too?
Possibly. The pill "may benefit alcoholics and binge drinkers," says Rheana Murray of the New York Daily News, and could even keep heavy drinkers from embarrassing themselves at their company Christmas party.
When can I get it? 
Not for awhile. There are still some kinks to work out before a "stay sober" pill study could be attempted on humans. "Even the most treacherous frat house hazing," says Dan Childs at ABC, "probably would not involve separating the lightweights from the boozehounds, injecting them with alcohol-filled syringes, and setting them loose on an obstacle course" — as this study did with mice. Regardless, says Greene, "it's a stupid invention" that makes drinking "less fun." The researchers might as well be working on "cake that tastes like arugula."

'Hugo': From A Master, A Love Letter To His Medium

He peers out from behind windows and clock faces, frames through which his sad eyes light on every detail of the train station that's his home: dogs and humans in courtship rituals, flurries of snow and ash, giant whirling contraptions and their individual parts. Hugo (the boy) is an observer of the world's wonders.
There is much to observe, for
Hugo (the film) is a marvel of spectacle, a sensory feast steeped in cinematic lore that proves pure joy is attainable in three dimensions. Martin Scorsese, a director who has risen
to living-legend status primarily via gory crime sagas, here makes the endearing confession that he, too, was once a shy kid awestruck by the idea of images flickering on a screen.

The film is based on a heavily illustrated 2007 novel by Brian Selznick that has proved enormously popular with children despite primarily revolving around a 19th century French filmmaker — as sure a sign as any that movies are not dead to future generations. The orphaned protagonist (Asa Butterfield) is a determined scavenger who spends his days manning (and his nights sleeping in) the clock in a bustling 1931 Paris terminus, one of those movie settings where the inhabitants have their own mini-adventures in the margins. Hugo's efforts to fix a broken automaton lead him to the cute, ebullient Isabelle (Chloe Grace Moretz) and curmudgeonly toy-shop proprietor Georges Melies (Ben Kingsley).


Turns out that Hugo has actually stumbled across
the Georges Melies, real-life magician and director of A Trip To The Moon — the one where the rocket plunges into the Man in the Moon's eye — along with over 500 other films from cinema's earliest days. Here's where the story, to its own detriment, shifts from hero's journey to hero-worship, and the question of the moment becomes, "Will Melies get the respect that's coming to him?"
Yet magic still persists: As Hugo and Isabelle dig deeper into the past, they find their own fates intertwined with that of Melies's films, and that flickering screen becomes a portal in the dark, illuminating everyone's hopes and dreams.
With his companion Isabelle (Chloe Grace Moretz), Hugo hopes to finish rebuilding an automaton his father had once dreamed of restoring.
The train station, though a wondrous plaything, renders itself claustrophobic over two hours, and we relish the few scenes that venture outside its walls. But even in these cramped confines, Hugo dangles from a clock, a la Harold Lloyd, and stares down a train that seems to leap at him straight from the minds of the Lumiere brothers (who have minor roles as well). It's pure cinephile candy.

As befitting both its fetishistically detailed source material and the era in which it's set,
Hugo is Scorsese's most visually accomplished film. He and cinematographer Robert Richardson exploit the possibilities of depth in every frame, from the cavernous Fritz Langian inner workings of the station clock to the brim of Sacha Baron Cohen's inspector cap as he leans way into the camera to snarl.
Some sequences show signs of that old Melies magic, deliberately distorting reality as kids climb station rafters at impossible heights and loose papers animate themselves as they billow through the air. When 3-D works, it really works: To see Hugo in two dimensions is to take a pass on substantial splendor.

But the best trick the filmmakers pull off is the one that's hardest to see coming: By restaging some of movie history's most pioneering works in 3-D — by approximating the vastness of space in
A Trip To The Moon and flinging trains at cameras 116 years after the Lumieres — Scorsese has made these crusty college-circuit prints new again.
And what's more, he's made them new to the most important audience: children.

Fake Doctor Arrested For Injecting Cement And 'Fix A Flat' Into Woman's Buttocks

A transgender woman has been arrested after posing as a doctor and injecting a bizarre cocktail of cement, flat-tire sealant and mineral oil into the buttocks of a patient desperate for a bigger behind, RadarOnline.com has learned.

Oneal Ron Morris of Miami, Florida was arrested on Friday and charged
with practicing medicine without a license and causing serious bodily harm after her victim suffered from
bad side affects from being pumped with the toxic injections, CBSNews.com reported.

Born a man but living as a woman, 30-year-old Morris charged the unidentified woman $700 for the series of butt-enhancing injections in May 2010.
She was left with life-threatening injuries, needing several surgeries and round-the-clock care.
Designer doctor: Morris, 30, who is accused of taking hundreds of dollars to administer potentially lethal shots to alleged patients is seen here carrying a Louis Vuitton handbag.Doctor in the house: Morris performed her have-a-go household operations in homes and hotel rooms across South Florida, police say.
But Florida health investigators took more than a year to gather evidence against Morris because the woman was too embarrassed to come forward.
Morris was allowed out on bail then arrested again on November 23 when a second alleged victim came forward. Corey Alexander Eubank, 40, of Hollywood, her alleged accomplice, was arrested the same day.
Morris performed her have-a-go household operations in homes and hotel rooms across South Florida, police say.
Another alleged victim, Raji Narinesingh, wanted fuller lips, cheeks and chin, but could not afford an operation by a licensed plastic surgeon, using medical silicone.
'Fake doctor': Prosecutors say at least five alleged victims have come forward with information
Narinesingh, who is also a transgender who lives as a woman, says she heard about the 'fake doctor' by word of mouth through the transgender community. 

The Biggest Celebrity Transformations Of 2010 

After being injected with a cocktail of toxins she allegedly left with lumpen shapes in her cheeks, a misshapen chin and a ballooning upper lip. She later had to pay a real surgeon to repair the botched job.A court was told that Morris used superglue to patch up entry wounds in the skin.
But Morris struck back on Entertainment Tonight: 'They keep on lying, but you know the truth will prevail, and you know that’s why we have courts and stuff like that.'Morris denied that she is a fake doctor. 'If anybody’s the victim, it’s definitely me,' she said.She is now free on bond but police and health officials are continuing to investigate, urging other potential victims to come forward.
'We have continued to receive calls from several victims... many of them transsexuals, but for now there are two cases confirmed,' William Bamford, spokesman for the Miami Gardens Police Department, told AFP on Tuesday.Narinesingh says she was too afraid to go to the authorities.

Back room beauty treatment: Ms Narinesingh's face has been left misshapen by the illegal treatment
She explained: 'It becomes so dire for you to want to match your outside with your inside that you’re willing to roll the dice and take chances.'
Dr John Martin, who is now treating Ms Narinesingh, said he has been giving her therapeutic injections that he hopes will eventually soften the hard nodules that formed in her face and return her to a more normal appearance.'There is not an easy solution to this nightmare,' he said.
Ms Narinesingh says she is grateful to Dr Martin for trying to help give her a face back.
'I have learned my lesson,' She said. 'I could have died. I know that now.'

Australia's 'small breast' ban

Australia's government is "banning" adult publications and films featuring women with "small breasts," says Aussie activist Fiona Patten, on the grounds that such images encourage pedophilia. Patton, leader of the anti-censorship Australian Sex Party, is taking issue with a 2005 ruling which specified that even depictions of women who are over 18 but "appear to be" underage may be judged "illegal." Is this alleged practice a strategic way to fight child pornography, or — as Patten maintains — an absurd reaction to a perfectly normal female body type?
How could censoring small breasts curb kiddie porn? This "is a terrible idea for many reasons,"
says Maureen O'Connor in Gawker. Not only would such a ban do nothing to "reduce smut," censoring images of "small breasts" only codifies "an arbitrary set of female sexual ideals."
"Prude Australians try to ban small boobs and female ejaculation in porn"

Patton is exaggerating: We're all taking this too far, says Australian censorship blog Somebody Think of the Children. While it's true that the law does ban women who "look younger" than 18 from appearing in adult publications and films, images of small breasts alone are not "automatically" considered "illegal." For instance, "it’s highly unlikely that a naked photograph of a 30-, 40- or 50-year-old woman with small breasts" would ever be banned.
"Australia bans small breasts"

Regardless, the law is sexist: A ban that classifies normal female bodies as "obscene" could not be "any more insulting," says adult industry blog Ms Naughty. Not only does this encourage women to have breast augmentations, it characterizes men who think "small boobs are sexy" as "perverts." There's an easier way to determine if a woman is "'too young" — it's called checking her date of birth.

Engulfed by fire


Wayne Norman is coming to terms with losing his historic Mary Valley home after a burn-off turned sinister.
Craig Warhurst
Fire guts Brooloo property
Nothing is left of the old 100-year-old Doyle mill along the Mary Valley Highway that Wayne Norman spent years turning into his home - it burned to the ground after a grass burning off changed course.

"My son was burning a bit of rubbish (long grass along the creek) as he's done a million times before," Mr Norman said as he sat on a ride on mower looking at the charred remains of his home.
"The fire has gone along the creek and up the bank to the side of the building. I had a roof rack leaning up against the building that had vines through it. A mate came and got the roof rack but the vines were still there and that's how it started."
The elbow shaped dwelling that was the former shed and house shared the same roof and consequence loss of both buildings.
Mr Norman said he left his property at about 1.25pm and returned about three quarters of an hour later, his son having already left the property too.
"I could see smoke when I came down the road and pulled up," he said.
If losing all his possessions in the fire was not tragic enough, Mr Norman believes his insurance may have ran out last week making it the first time he has not been insured.
He moved to the three and a half acre property at Brooloo in 1992 and said all he needs is money so he can get back into building a home for himself.
Imbil police officers Sgt Terry Kennedy and Senior Constable Bill Greer were the first at the scene at around 2.30pm, followed by Gympie fire fighters and the Veteran Rural Fire Brigade.
"They thought the fire had gone out," Sgt Kennedy said and that the shed was "very old, dry timber" that took about half an hour to destroy all Mr Norman's possessions.
Veteran Rural Fire Brigade officers reminded motorists to pull over for emergency services vehicles. They were delayed in reaching the fire because motorists ignored sirens and failed to clear a path.
Gympie police said failing to move out of the path of a police or emergency services vehicle, failing to give way to them or moving into the path of them was against the law and the offender could be fined $233.
