Successor in Chief in Bollywood!

Deepika Padukone is the one to watch in Bollywood. She cuts a lithe figure and is different from the other budding actresses. Her expressive face is downright beautiful and that mysterious smile and adorable lips. Born in Sweden, she is the daughter of the famed world class Indian badminton player, Prakash Padukone.

I think she is appearing in more movies than modeling jobs these days. Her Levi Signature advertisement is very cheeky, don't you think?

Watch the following three videos and see the charms of Deepika!

The Immortalisation of Paris Hilton

So what do you know?

The words of wisdom from Paris Hilton are to be immortalised alongside remarks by some of the greatest thinkers of all time in the latest edition of the Oxford Book of Quotations – and she reckons it’s “so cool.”

Hilton, the socialite turned reality TV star and retailing phenomenon, is listed in the latest version of the 65-year-old dictionary, released this week, alongside the likes of Confucius, Oscar Wilde and Stephen Hawking.

Her contribution? “Dress cute wherever you go, life is too short to blend in.”

Hilton, 28, was delighted to be featured in the book which is a renowned list of memorable sayings.

“So cool that I have a quote in the dictionary,” she wrote on her Twitter page.

Another new entry in the seventh edition of the Oxford University Press publication is Sarah Palin.

The former vice-presidential candidate makes the cut for her most famous quip: “What’s the difference between a hockey mom and a pitbull? Lipstick.”

More than 20,000 new quotations have been added to the dictionary including President Barack Obama for saying: “The arc of history is long but it bends toward justice.”

Others came from the likes of British author Terry Pratchett -- using an “embuggerance” to describe his Alzheimer’s – and from author Fay Weldon: “Guilt is to motherhood as grapes are to wine.”

The Memorial Stone

Dato' Nikolas died.

His Will provided $40,000 for an elaborate funeral.

As the last guests departed the affair, his wife Tiffany turned to her oldest and dearest friend,Gwen.

'Well, I'm sure Nik would be pleased,' she said.

'I'm sure you're right,' replied Gwen, who lowered her voice and leaned in close.
'How much did this really cost?

'All of it,' said Tiffany. 'Forty thousand'.

'No!' Gwen exclaimed. 'I mean, it was very nice, but $40,000?'

Tiffany answered, 'The funeral was $6,500. I donated $500 to church. The whiskey, wine and snacks were another $500.The rest went towards the Memorial Stone.'

Gwen computed quickly. '$32,500 for a Memorial Stone? How big is it?'
