Lopez to face ex-husband on American Idol
 |
Pop diva and actress Jennifer Lopez, who is reportedly set to join the American Idol judge's panel, might face her former husband Ojani Noa who will audition for the show.
Noa, a former waiter from Cuba who became Lopez's first husband when they married in 1997, is planning to sing on the show in Los Angeles and will even serenade the rumoured judge with one of her own songs, reported Contactmusic.
"Ojani Noa will be in line at the Forum on September 22 to try out for American Idol in front of his ex-wife. He escaped Cuba and married Jennifer Lopez, now he wants to be the American Idol. Of course he will sing a Jennifer Lopez song," said Noa's manager Ed Meyer.
Noa's stunt is set to take place on the same day as the new judging panel for the show is officially unveiled by host Ryan Seacrest, which is said to feature Lopez - who has reportedly signed a USD 12 million contract to join the series - alongside original judge Randy Jackson and

The 24-year-old singer has a huge gay fan following and has been vocal about her opposition to the controversial 'Don't ask, don't tell' policy.
In the rally, organised by the Service members Legal Defense Network, Gaga called on local Republican Senators Olympia Snowe and Susan Collins to vote to repeal the policy.
She also proposed a new policy - to throw homophobic soldiers out of the military. Taking to the stage to huge cheers, the gay icon said, "I'm here because 'Don't ask, don't tell' is wrong. It's unjust. Doesn't it seem to be, based on the constitution of the United States, (that) we're penalising the wrong soldier?"
"Doesn't it seem to you we should send home the prejudice - the straight soldier who hates the gay soldier. The straight soldier whose performance in the

Mallika, Kangna tussle over tags

Mallika Sherawat can't bear to share the 'sexy' tag with her Dhamaal 2 co-star Kangna Ranaut.
Mallika Sherawat resents her co-star Kangna and she isn't hiding it. And it's because the latter is being tagged as having a 'sexy' role in the comic flick. Mallika feels the term belongs exclusively to her.
Says a source from the unit, "Mallika conveyed her displeasure to the producer and director. She plays Sanju's hot businesswoman wife while Kangna plays his sexy secretary. Ms Sherawat doesn't want to share the attention the guys on the sets shower on her. So right from day one, she went out of her way to be coquettish to the actors in the film - Sanjay Dutt, Riteish Deshmukh, Arshad Warsi, Ashish Choudhry and Javed Jaaffery."

21st century trend: Las Vegas-style cities in the Arctic
Earth's frozen North is no place to live right now, says Laurence C. Smith in The Wall Street Journal. But that is about to change
In decades ahead, climate change may produce heat waves, droughts, and coastal flooding that will drive large numbers of people north, says Laurence C. Smith in The Wall Street Journal. This could mean a "tremendous transformation" is in store for the Arctic over the next century. Tourism is "already booming" up there, and scientists say the region's oil and gas potential give it "rising strategic value." And that will only increase as receding sea ice frees up currently inaccessible shipping lanes. It's time to get ready for the rise of the New North. Here, an excerpt:
Imagine the Arctic in 2050 as a frigid version of Nevada — an empty landscape dotted with gleaming boom towns. Gas pipelines fan across the tundra, fueling fast-growing cities to the south like Calgary and Moscow, the coveted destinations for millions of global immigrants. It's a busy web for global commerce, as the world's ships advance each summer as the seasonal sea ice retreats, or
