Xena : The Warrior Princess

"Xena, a mighty warrior and healer. She has come to regret the harm she caused and, with her companion Gabrielle, now travels the countryside seeking adventure and fighting the forces of evil."

In ancient Greece, a time of mythical legends. Xena was a mighty female warrior, Xena once left her village and led a army of outlaws that terrorized the lands, and was a former enemy of the legendary hero Hercules. Xena began to regret what she had done and embarked on a quest for redemption. Joined by a young woman named Gabrille, Xena travels across the lands as she battles forces of evil, and would often do battle with her evil foes, the ruthless and charming Ares and Callisto, a warrior woman out to get her revenge on Xena for the death of her family and burning her village when she was a child. And Xena and Gabrille were on occasions joined by trusted friends wannabe warrior, Joxer and thief Autolycus. Seeking adventure and helping people, Xena's courage will change the world. Xena was raised as the daughter of Cyrene and Atrius, though the episode The Furies raised the possibility that Ares, god of war, might be Xena's biological father. She had two (half)-brothers: Toris, her elder brother,[8] and Lyceus, the youngest of the three. Xena mentioned to Iolaus she had a third brother, but there was no further elaboration on the character. Xena believed that her "father", Atrius, abandoned the family when Xena was young,[9] but later learned that Cyrene killed him to prevent him from murdering Xena. Xena had a normal early life. She was born and raised in Amphipolis, a fairly large village in Thrace. She had a boisterous relationship with her brothers, and helped her mother in the family tavern. Xena's first love was Petracles. They were engaged to be married, but Petracles left her to take up the life of a warlord. Once again abandoned by an important man in her life, Xena developed a bitterness toward men, and a distaste for close relationships in general.

Obama's state dinner shows heightened profile of Indian Americans

Reporting from Washington - President Obama's state dinner for India's prime minister was a platform to lavish attention on a key strategic ally. It also underscored the emergence of Indian Americans as civic and political leaders -- and increasingly important sources of campaign money.

The 320-person guest list for Tuesday's event was in some ways a traditional amalgam of politicians, diplomats, celebrities and heavyweight donors.

But the dozens of Indian Americans on the list attested to that group's heightened profile. They included author Deepak Chopra; TV medical journalist Dr. Sanjay Gupta; and Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal, a Republican.

Presidents of both parties have used state dinners to reward donors, and Tuesday's invitation list included at least 28 top Obama fundraisers.

One, Balvinder Singh, is a Chicago carpet store owner and community leader. Singh said he supported Obama because he liked his call to heal racial divides.

"He didn't need to invite me," Singh said. "I'm a nobody. . . . But he knows who his friends are."

Another top fundraiser on the guest list, Vinai Thummalapally, was a friend of Obama's at Occidental College who raised at least $100,000. Earlier this year, Obama named him ambassador to Belize.

Invitee Preeta D. Bansal, a onetime solicitor general of New York state and a corporate attorney, raised at least $100,000, and was appointed general counsel of the Office of Budget and Management and Budget.

Although at least some invitations may have been thank-yous for political support, they were also smart international politics, said Michael J. Malbin, executive director of the Campaign Finance Institute at George Washington University.

"The president is showing the prime minister of India that people whose ancestry is in his country are important to him. It's not simply paying them a favor," Malbin said. "It's an intelligent diplomatic move."

But Sheila Krumholz, director of the Center for Responsive Politics, said: "This is a hot ticket that didn't just go to anybody. Money buys access and . . . the opportunity to plead your case and curry favor."

As a candidate, Obama was careful to apologize after his campaign circulated what he termed a "stupid" and "caustic" memo that referred to his main Democratic rival as "Hillary Clinton (D-Punjab)."

The reference to the Indian state alluded to Clinton's joking comments that she was so popular among Indians that she could easily win a Senate seat there.

Clinton, now secretary of State, attended the dinner.

Telestars give their verdict on Ajmal Kasab

Telestars give their verdict on Ajmal Kasab

26/11’s horror attack has left no Indian heart unhurt. Right from the day this dreadful act was carried out by Ajmal Kasab and his partners, many people pray worst for them but they are are still breathing even after taking lives of many innocent people. For once, we cannot let Bygones be bygones, people want judiciary to give the guilty a severe punishment. Well, we cannot decide Kasab’s fate but at least can show our anger.

Hiten Tejwani- He should be beheaded like in olden times or else every one should be given a gun and allowed to shoot him till death, just like he has done with us without thinking the consequences.

Ragini Khanna- He deserves strictest punishment but only by doing this it will not solve the terrorism problem. And If I would given a chance than I will put him in a well full of man-eating animals.Mumbai smashing was the target of kasabs team

Amit Tondon- I don’ think Kasab is actual culprit, instead I feel bad for him that his life is wasted and is just a kid who's made to do all this wrong deeds but if I were to punish anyone it should be the masterminds behind Kasab and the government which is still away from catching them.

Lavanya Tripathi- Any punishment will be less for him. I won’t kill him but do something bad to him like making him a retard or a handicap.

British TV Show Sags in U.S., Takes India by Storm

The British reality show “Secret Millionaire” didn’t translate in the U.S. It was dropped by Fox after just six episodes and now has been moved to ABC.

But a version of the show in India, called “The Big Switch,” has become an instant hit.

In the American and British versions, millionaires went incognito into poor or lower-middle-class communities and sought out good Samaritans. At the great unveiling, the rich revealed themselves and wrote checks to the do-gooders.

It has moved to fertile ground in India, which has lapped up reality shows like “American Idol” and, most famously, “Who Wants to Be a Millionaire.” In the “The Big Switch,” young Indians–i.e., attractive, wealthy female Indians–spend a month in a slum. To compete, 10 rich contestants are paired with 10 slum dwellers and asked to perform menial tasks like shining shoes at railway stations and selling goods at traffic stops. Points are given for each task. The rich contestants who wins gets one million rupees ($21,600), which goes to their poor partner.

For a country with glaring wealth disparities, the trading-places gimmick has attracted a wide audience.

“When you bring in people from the richest strata and put them with the poorest of the poor, it makes for great television,” said Zarina Mehta of UTV Bindass, which airs “The Big Switch.”

Sunny Sara, 28, a nightclub owner in Mumbai and a participant in the show, said her month in the slum was a life-changing experience. “There was no running water, no air conditioning, none of the amenities I was used to. I missed my BlackBerry and my bikes,” she said.

WWE survivor series

As the sole survivor in his Traditional Survivor Series Match, Kofi Kingston once again wowed the WWE Universe and angered Randy Orton when he pinned The Viper for the final elimination.WASHINGTON, D.C. – Traditional Survivor Series Elimination Tag Team Matches are always competitive, but rarely are they as closely contested as the epic battle between Team Kingston and Team Orton. Though each of the 10 competitors fought hard, ultimately, it was Team Captain Kofi Kingston himself that carried the day, pinning his nemesis, and last remaining competitor,Randy orton to win the match for his team.

For Batista, his match against Rey Mysterio wasn't about victory — it was about punishment. Instead of pinning his former friend, Batista brutalized his opponent until the official called for the bell.WASHINGTON, D.C. - At Survivor Series, Batistaunleashed the full extent of his unrelenting fury on his former friend rey mysterio, administering a merciless attack that left the official no choice but to stop the match.Match photos

Though the high-octane Mysterio showed the WWE Universe every bit of his heart from the opening bell, battling for the offensive with everything he had, the enraged Animal would eventually descend upon his prey with absolute havoc. In the final moments of the match, the fans erupted as Mysterio looked to be heading to a huge victory of redemption with the 619. However, as Mysterio attempted to channel the late with a follow up frog splash, Batista’s raised knees signaled the beginning of a shocking end.

The vicious Animal proceeded to level Mysterio with an earth-shattering spear, a thunderous spinebuster and three devastating Batista Bombs, never once going for a cover. It was clear that he had no interest in simply winning. He wanted Mysterio to be humiliated. Even after the official attempted to end the relentless punishment by signaling for the bell, Batista’s rampage continued with the execution of a post match spinebuster onto an unforgiving steel chair. Mysterio was left in agonizing pain at the hands of a Superstar that once meant everything to him.

The Unified Tag Team Champions could not work together to take down Undertaker. Instead, the World Heavyweight Champion locked Big Show in Hell's Gate to retain his title.WASHINGTON, D.C. – World Heavyweight Champion The Undertaker defeated Unified Tag Team ChampionsChris Jericho & Big Show in a Triple Threat Match, marking another significant victory at the pay-per-view where The Phenom unleashed hell on WWE nearly 20 years ago. (PHOTOS)

Despite a cohesive onslaught from the Unified Tag Team Champions to start, things broke down when Big Show assaulted his own partner, who had The Deadman locked in the Walls of Jericho.

From that point on, it was a free-for-all for the World Title. During the frenzy, Big Show knocked out Jericho with a brutal right to the head.

In the end, The Deadman reigned supreme by locking Big Show in Hell's Gate, forcing him to submit.

With the victory, The Deadman simultaneously defended his World Title and put the entire SmackDown roster on notice. If The World's Largest Athlete can’t stop him, who can?

WASHINGTON D.C. - When it comes to claiming WWE’s most coveted title, loyalty remains an expense some Superstars simply cannot afford.

While Triple H and Shawn Michaels insisted that competing in a Triple Threat Match for the WWE Championship would do little to sever the deep bond between them, the allure of gold proved too much for the cohorts, who quickly turned on one another. As their alliance frayed, WWE Champion John Cena eagerly leveraged his opponents’ betrayal into an intensely fought victory.

Things started out amicably enough. The Game and HBK even greeted the crowd together as DX’s entrance music pervaded the arena. Seconds after the opening bell, however, Michaels unexpectedly lulled his associate to sleep with Sweet Chin Music. With Triple H out cold, HBK and The Champ exchanged strikes.

As any member of the WWE Universe can tell you, though, never count out Triple H. The King of Kings rallied and the three-man clash took on a different, and dangerous, dynamic as the action moved outside the ring. It was there that The Game smashed HBK through the announcers’ table with a spine buster, leaving Triple H to contend with the WWE Champion. While the match nearly ended with several two-counts, in the end a fatigued Cena refused to quit against his equally exhausted rivals and managed to pin Triple H to retain his title.

While it remains to be seen whether or not DX will survive this latest chapter, WWE Champion John Cena appeared more than happy to close the book on Survivor Series 2009 with his title intact.

TWOP 10: TV SHOWS THAT OPRAH SHOULD JOIN

The world is still reeling from the news that that the queen of daytime television will be abandoning her current talk show at the end of next season. Well, maybe it's just the world of stay-at-home moms and the unemployed that's reeling, but regardless, the question on everyone's minds is: what will Ms. Winfrey do next? While many consider it a given that she'll simply star on a new series on OWN (Oprah Winfrey Network, natch), we think that she should set her sights a little higher. Primetime high. Here's our unsolicited job advice for her:

10. Star in Her Own CSI Spin-Off
CSI: Chicago would be a natural fit for Oprah. We imagine that upon seeing a dead body, she would react much like she does when Dr. Oz is educating her talk show audience: "Look at all that bloooooooood! I didn't know that could haaaaappppen!"

9. Record a Cross-Country Trip With Gayle
Perhaps Oprah and her bestie Gayle King can continue the road trip they began three summers ago, but do it in front of cameras. We could see them nitpick each other to no end, but then eventually make up because Oprah and Gayle go together like peanut butter and jelly. This road trip would also show us how rich people view the world. Remember when Oprah admitted that she hadn't pumped gas since 1983?

8. Become Liz Lemon's Spiritual Advisor on 30 Rock
Oprah's guest spot last season could be reprised and extended, provided Liz hallucinates on a regular basis. Since every successful (or just creepy) person seems to have a spiritual advisor these days, Oprah could help Liz with positive affirmations and suggestions for how to make Dealbreakers a worldwide obsession -- kind of like what Oprah did with The Secret, except the secret really wasn't a secret.

7. Join The Biggest Loser with Trainer Bob Greene
We're all painfully familiar with Oprah's on-and-off love affair with exercise, so who better to bring some love and understanding to The Biggest Loser? This reality series would turn into the huggiest, most tear-filled thing on TV - ever (move over, Extreme Makeover: Home Edition). The original Bob of personal-trainer fame would totally kick that other Bob's ass, too.

6. Play a Vampire on True Blood
Oprah used to set trends, telling a rapt audience which favorite things to buy and books to read. But there's one major pop-culture trend that she completely failed to anticipate or influence: vampires. A recurring spot on True Blood would take care of that, making her relevant to a new generation of women. Plus, we'd love to see her with those cool F/X retractable fangs.

John and Edward talk girls and TV shows

John and Edwards;

Former 'X Factor' stars John and Edward Grimes have been speaking about their hopes for the future, saying that they want to write their own songs.More videos

Speaking to Digital Spy, the twins said that they were also keen to "do more TV shows".

John said: "I think the main focus right now for us is being singers. We want to be pop singers and follow our dream."

"The thing about me and Ed is that we play guitar, we play piano and violin. It all comes down to writing your own music and being an individual."

"We write songs that aren't boring about missing girls and boring stuff like that. It's about being different and finding your own originality."

Edward said: "We'd love to do more TV and do more TV shows, but we want to focus on music and doing good songs."

When asked about their female admirers, John said: "I think that at the end of the day, our main focus is this. If you have a girlfriend - well you don't want to be missing anybody."

"Whatever happens, happens. You've got to know someone first. It either happens or it doesn't. It's not about being desperate."u want c more click here
