Roger Waters narrates controversial short film on Palestinians

Washington, Aug 24 (ANI): Pink Floyd star Roger Waters has lent his voice to a new short film ‘Walled Horizons’ that focuses on the hardships of Palestinians living in the shadow of Israel’s controversial separation barrier.

The rocker narrates the 15-minute film, which was made to mark the fifth anniversary of the International Court of Justice’s opinion that the barrier’s meandering route through the occupied West Bank is illegal.

The musician apparently wants the West Bank security barrier torn down, as he believes it was built on Palestinian land and is a hurdle on the path to peace, reports Contactmusic.

He said in an interview on Israel Radio: “What a lot of people don’t understand… because of the sketchy news reports… is just how many Israelis are prepared to compromise and make peace with their neighbours… They would accept the resettlement of people who moved into the West Bank.”

According to TheRockRadio.com, the film was made in 2006 when Waters performed in Israel. (ANI)

The pop star apparently made the confession while touring the country during her Funhouse concerts.

“My time Melbourne has been awesome … I finally know my way around the city,” the Couriermail quoted her as telling Showbizspy.

“I’ve said that before but now I’m clear.

“I’ve loved this whole tour but now it’s near the end I just wanna go home and lick my dog Bubba. If he was here, I could stay here forever,” she added. (ANI)

Pink concert alerts Oz woman to her ballooning breast implant

Cairns, Aug 20 (ANI): An Aussie woman, who woke up with one breast double the size of the other, said that had she not attended American singer Pink’s concert, she would not have known there was a problem with her breast implant.

Cattle station worker Kimberley Koy’s breast had ballooned out overnight after a plane trip to Sydney to see Pink perform, and fearing that it might be breast cancer, she immediately visited her doctor.

But at the clinic, Koy came to know that the breast problem had started a week earlier, when she was stabbed in the chest by a runaway cow’s horn while working on a Cape York property.

Koy, who has C-cup silicone gel breast implants, had brushed the incident off as the horn did not break her skin or leave a bruise, and was oblivious to the damage it had done to her implant until it popped up after the plane flight.

“When I told the doctor I’d flown she said, ‘That makes perfect sense because air pressure forced out the silicone’,” Cairns.com.au quoted her as saying.

“I could have gone years without knowing.

“When I woke up the day after the plane trip it was double the size of my right one … I thought I had breast cancer.

“If I hadn’t have gone to the Pink concert I wouldn’t have known my breast was leaking,” she said.

Koy said that her breast had since shrunk, but still edged out further than the right one.

“It was like a coconut to an orange; it was bloody weird and incredibly noticeable,” she said.

“I just wanted everyone to hear my story because I think it is very funny.

“It felt like one breast had filled up with milk and the other hadn’t,” she added. (ANI)

8-year-old Brit boy hopes to become world’s youngest wing-walker

London, Aug 19 (ANI): An eight-year-old boy is hoping to become the youngest person in the world to wing-walk.iger Brewer, from London, will be taking to the skies on the wing of his grandfather’s biplane.

His grandfather is Vic Norman, who operates the only formation wing-walking team in the world.

Tiger will be soaring through the skies in Gloucestershire at 100mph and flying high at about 1,000 feet.

His mum, Zoe, is completely unfazed by what her son is up to.

“My siblings and I have all grown up doing all sorts of weird things and I wouldn’t let him do it if I didn’t think it was perfectly safe,” Sky News quoted her as saying.

“He’s with my father and I trust him absolutely,” she added.

Tiger, meanwhile, is ‘excited, and a teeny bit nervous – and happy’.

“I’ve stood on a biplane but I’ve never flown on one,” he said.

The world record is presently held by Guy Mason, son of Pink Floyd drummer Nick Mason, who first wing-walked in 2001 at the age of 11.

Norman is hopeful his grandson will fly into the record books.

“It will be wonderful to fly with Tiger on my wing, he shares my passion for flying and it will be a very special experience for us both,” he said. (ANI)

A dozen of Havelock women pose nude for cancer charity

Wellington, May 25 (ANI): In a bid to raise funds for breast cancer and the fire service, twelve of Havelock women have posed nude as “calendar girls”.

One of them even went to the extent of wearing nothing but a mussel shell for the shoot.

Tania Varcoe posed for her photograph outside The Mussel Pot restaurant dressed just in a big mussel shell.

In fact, just when the mussel maiden was getting clicked, she was spotted by the passengers of the InterCity coachline.

“I was shocked, as I use those buses to go to Christchurch and I knew the driver, but as I am normally dressed I don’t think he recognised me,” the NZPA quoted her as saying.

She added: “The passengers stared, as they would, seeing a female outside a restaurant with no clothes on dressed only in a mussel shell.”

Varcoe, a hairdresser by profession, works with Blush and owns Metamorphosis, a beauty therapy and massage business.

“Being famous in Havelock is great, but I will avoid nude shots in future,” she said.

The pin-up girls include-a new mum, volunteer fire fighter, nurse, retailer, real estate agent and publican-who have all posed for pictures which are a little naughty but not offensive.

According to ship broker Pat Copp, the brain behind the calendar, it would put a smile on faces and show Havelock’s innovative spirit and character.

The calendars will go on sale for 15 dollars each at a Pink Ribbon Breakfast at the Slip Inn on May 30, and the proceeds will go to the New Zealand Breast Cancer Foundation and Havelock Fire Service. (ANI)

The ‘orgy island’ in Malaysia that wants you to bare all under the moonlight!

Kuala Lumpur, May 19 (ANI): A couple, who is believed to have arranged a sex orgy party on Pulau Perhentian, have been fined 25,000RM under the Entertainment Act 2002 for organising a party without permit.

According to reports, the wild party was going on full swing before Besut District Council (MDB) enforcement officers moved in on the revellers.

It was the second time that such a party had been held on the island. The first party, themed ‘Buffalo Bars Pink Lady’, was organised on May 3.

The party that took place on May 10 was themed ‘Come bare under the moonlight’. It left council officer Razman Ahmad, who led the team, startled to find condoms strewn on the secluded beachfront where the party was held.

“I can’t disclose more facts as the council has lodged a police report on the matter, but I can tell you that there were activities associated with sexual intercourse on that night and this was substantiated by the discovery of sex paraphernalia,” Star Online quoted Ahmad as saying.

Though he has declined to give any details on whether he witnessed the revellers having sex when council officials arrived at the scene, investigations have shown that the organiser was a 31-year-old man from Kedah who arranged the party with his girlfriend from Ireland.

The lady in question is under police investigation for organising similar parties, including in Langkawi and Port Dickson, and also for being the one responsible for posting the invitation on her Facebook.

Ahmad added that the scantily-clad teenagers, some of them foreigners, were intoxicated when his team arrived at 1am in two speedboats, and after he decided to call his superior to brief him on the situation, the police were informed and 15 officers arrived at the scene.

The officers seized alcoholic drinks worth about 90,000 RM, loudspeakers, audio equipment, psychotropic pills, drug and sex paraphernalia during the raid on the party attended by 200 teenagers, who were invited via Facebook.

Of the first party, council president Wan Mustafa Wan Hassan said that the officers were unable to reach the site on time as they received the tip-off late. (ANI)
