The strongest team???...A race to India!

I'm happy, ecstatic, impressed, sad and shocked, all at the same time. Wanna know why? Continue on reading.

Last night episode of TARA 3 was such a roller-coaster ride. First off, teams were faced with Roadblock where one member from each team was required to do a bungee jump off Macau Tower. Scary! Geoff & Tisha who were the 1st to complete the task (with Tisha doing the high jump - she looks cute when she was scared) were given an exclusive helicopter ride from Macau to Hong Kong. Lucky them. While the rest of the teams had no choice but to travel by ferry to get back to Hong Kong.





Then they headed to the MASkargo warehouse for their next task, which was to find a box containing their names. In that box were letters for them from home. This scene was quite touching as the racers read aloud the letters sent by their relatives.

Teams then headed to Cochin, India. Wrong choice of flight left Henry & Bernie and Sam & Vince far behind the other teams. Geoff & Tisha who arrived way early than the rest had the chance to relax at a hotel before headed to a temple (that will only open at 6 a.m.) for their next clue.





After they had a good luck blessing at the temple, they headed to Kumbalam for a bizarre task, wash an elephant using dry coconut shells! Ida & Tania who arrived there 1st were lucky because their elephant submerged into the water and basically washed most of the mud and dirt away. They have been very lucky lately.

Next, a Detour. This time, teams must pick between Fish and Fill. In Fish, teams must deliver 6 fishes, each weighing 20kg, to a seafood restaurant. In Fill, teams have to use coloured rice powder to completely fill an intricate geometric column design drawn on the floor. Geoff & Tisha and Sam & Vince chose Fish while the rest of the teams chose Fill. After that, it was a race to the pit stop which was at the Bolgatty Palace.





Ida & Tania who were hoping to reach 1st at the pit stop were disappointed to find out that they were only 2nd to arrive behind Geoff & Tisha. Because of that, they were given 30-minute time penalty (they were last in the previous leg but were not eliminated. Instead, they must arrive 1st in this leg or they will be given 30-minute time penalty).

While serving their time penalty (I made it sound like prison, sorry!), A.D. & Fuzzie arrived at the pit stop and were the 2nd team to check in. Luckily, no other teams arrive during that time and Ida & Tania were the 3rd team to check in at the pit stop. Amazing! Way to go girls! The 4th team to arrive were Sam & Vince while the 5th and last team to arrive was Henry & Bernie. Therefore, Henry & Bernie were eliminated from the race.

Shocking rite? I always thought that Henry & Bernie was one of the strongest team in this race. The other team would be Geoff & Tisha but you didn't quite see it at first because of the constant tension between them. But now with the improving relationship and stress-control between the couple, Geoff & Tisha were getting stronger. Congratulations to both of them for coming in 1st at the pit stop for 2 consecutive time.

I'm happy and ecstatic that Tania & Ida were still in the race. I'm impressed by their determination. I'm also impressed with A.D & Fuzzie that they managed to come this far (which proves that you don't have to be physically fit to be in this race - maybe I should apply for TARA 4!). I'm sad and shocked that Henry & Bernie were eliminated. I had this kind of heavy feeling in my chest when I watched that scene. So painful.... Well Geoff & Tisha, this race might just be yours.

To Henry & Bernie, as a Malaysian, I'm very proud of your achievement and determination in this race. You guys have really done it well. Cheers to the effort!

P/S: Forgot to mention that I'm impressed with Vince too. He carried 2 fishes, which means he had about 40kg on his shoulders at 1 time. He's a Hulk!

Harry is here

Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix had premiered on HBO (Channel 411 Astro Malaysia) last Sunday. Unfortunately the movie will only be showed on TV from 26 Oct to 2 Nov 2008. So if you haven't watch it, where have u been?!? It will only last 1 week and you have several days left. You better check the TV schedule and see when is the next show.

My favourite part in this movie is (of course!) the furious duel between Albus Dumbledore and Lord Voldemort. And I love Ginny! She's so cute and a talented wizard.

I'm still disappointed when they (whoever that is) postponed the release of Harry's next movie. Oh well, at least I have Order of the Phoenix to accompany me this whole week.

Beyonce Knowles Jets Out of JFK

Finished up with her work in New York City, Beyonce Knowles was spotted making her way through JFK airport on Wednesday afternoon (October 29).

With the help of airport personnel, the “Dreamgirls” singer/actress slowly made her way through the terminal and past following paparazzi, ready to catch a flight out of town.

As previously reported by Gossip Girls, Miss Knowles spent the previous evening at the 59th Street Bloomingdales store in New York City to promote her new movie “Cadillac Records”.

Customers who purchased a dress from Beyonce’s House of Dereon dress collection were given an autographed copy of the “Cadillac Records” soundtrack, which won’t be available in stores for another month.

een Gets Time for Putting Grandma in 'Gangsta Rap' Video

A Florida teenager has been sentenced to 18 months in juvenile detention for coaxing his senile grandmother into holding a gun and threatening to shoot "all the pigs" in a homemade "gangster rap" video.

Eighteen-year-old Michael Alfinez pleaded guilty Tuesday to elder abuse charges. His family has said the case was a misunderstanding.

The 85-year-old grandmother can be seen in the video holding a handgun, wearing a black mask and threatening to shoot "all the pigs."

Alfinez was arrested in April after authorities seized the tape during a routine traffic stop. Alfinez and others also could be seen in the video shooting a pistol around town, reports the Associated Press.
Alfinez also pleaded guilty to charges of firing out of a moving vehicle and into a building.

Katy Perry: Gender Bender

She’s already made a name for herself with the androgynous hit “I Kissed a Girl,” and now Katy Perry is exploring more of her masculine side.

The pop singer was spotted at a big party held at Siren Studios, dressed as legendary Queen frontman Freddie Mercury, donning a fake moustache and wig along with a flashy yellow jacket and white trackpants.

Getting back to her feminine tendencies, Perry has donated a sculpture of her bust to raise money for a breast cancer charity.

The bust will be up for auction, starting November 26th, with the proceeds going to the Keep a Breast Foundation. Her boyfriend, Gym Class Heroes frontman Travis McCoy, will be adding his own style to the bust with a custom paint job.

Amanda Bynes: Jewelry Junkie

As the classic song goes, “Diamonds are a girl’s best friend.” And yesterday Amanda Bynes was out and about, looking for some jewelry on Bedford Avenue in Beverly Hills.

The “She’s the Man” actress looked stylish in a mini polka dot dress, sandals, shades, and a swanky Gucci handbag as she smiled for the paparazzi.

As for her potential role in the sequel “Hairspray 2,” it sounds like one very important cast member has elected not to reprise his role - John Travolta.

The “Pulp Fiction” actor recently told press, “I think once is enough. I did it and I did it well but I’m not a big sequel guy.” Hence, it looks like the film’s producers are on the prowl for someone else to don the fat suit and dress this next time around.

Nicole Richie and Harlow Madden: Pumpkin Patch Pals

As the Halloween holiday draws closer and closer, our favorite celebrities are getting into the spirit of the season. And yesterday Nicole Richie was spotted taking daughter Harlow Winter out for some pumpkin fun.

The “Simple Life” hottie and her adorable little girl were spotted playing around at the Pumpkin Patch while dad Joel Madden was reportedly doing his best to pick out some holiday gourds for their home.

And according to press, little Harlow may be getting a brother or sister in the not-too-distant future if Nicole gets her way.

A source revealed, “Nicole is seriously looking into it and asking a lot of questions about adopting. Nicole has been visiting Beyond Shelter in Los Angeles two or three times a week and spends a couple of hours with homeless children. She loves being around them.”

From Hong Kong to Macau

Before I start, I want to apologize for the blurry pictures. I can't find nicer pics from the official site. I don't know what happen to the photographer. Thankfully we still got pics (although they are video cap) so we have to be grateful. ;-)

Okay, move on with the race. First thing teams gotta do in this leg was delivering 2 bags of fishes (ornamental fish, not dead fish for eating) to a designated pet shop. After that, they must make their way to Macau by ferry and then travel by pedicab to the fountain in Senado Square for their next clue.

The next clue stated that they need to go to Macau Tower and there was also a Yield ahead. Sam & Vince who were 1st arrived at the Yield chose not to use the Yield but Geoff & Tisha who arrived there 2nd yielded Henry and Bernie. Henry seemed really pissed off while Bernie seemed calm. Good girl Bernie!

At the Macau Tower, teams must perform a Roadblock, which was (one of the team member) to climb the tower to retrieve the next clue. After that, they must make their way to the Dragon Boat Pier at Sai Van Lake. At the lake, teams must paddle a dragon boat around the buoy in the lake and return to the pier.

Next, a Detour. Teams must choose between Dance or Chance. In Dance, teams must learn and complete a lion dance routine while in Chance, teams have to dress in formal attire and play a blackjack game in which they must win it 9 times and spell the word COMPLETED in order to get their next clue (they will be given one letter each time they win). All teams chose Chance while only Geoff & Tisha chose Dance, which in my opinion was a wise decision.

After that, they must make their way to A-Ma Culture Village which was the pit stop of this leg of the race. But before that, they must complete a task which was to arrange 12 lanterns, which were painted with animals from the 12 Chinese Zodiac, in a correct order. Geoff & Tisha were 1st to arrive at the pit stop followed by Sam & Vince, A.D. & Fuzzie, Henry & Bernie and lastly, Ida & Tania, making this their 2nd time to arive last at the pit stop. However, this leg was a predetermined non-elimination leg and therefore they were not eliminated. Thank God again! I would be so devastated if they were eliminated. However, Ida & Tania must arrive first in the next leg or they will have to take a 30-minute penalty.

Geoff & Tisha won themselves a Sony Bravia TV and a Sony Playstation 3 each for winning this leg. OMG, I want them too!!! In this episode, we can also see the tension that building up between Geoff & Tisha and Henry & Bernie. There were also some funny moments, one of them was when A.D & Fuzzie wore the formal attire to play the blackjack. Bernie kept teasing them and it was so funny. They look hot though. ;-D

One of the anonymous visitor to this blog also alerted me on the nasty comments that have been popping up on the official TARA site. C'mon guys, it was just a race. I know everyone being patriotic and all that stuff but please try to avoid hate comments. It's not healthy....

I wonder if Ida & Tania will survive the next leg? I hope they did. Can't wait for Thursday.

Oprah Winfrey Sued for $180 Million

Media Mogul Oprah Winfrey is being sued by a Louisiana man for $180 million, after claims the popular talk show host gave false statements to the FBI, which led to his being arrested in 2006.

Keifer Bonvillain says that he was wrongfully accused of attempting to extort Winfrey. Bonvillain was arrested that December at his home in Houma, after allegedly recording a phone conversation with one of Winfrey’s production company employees and saying he wanted to publish a book using the information from the recorded material, as reported by Vibe.com.

According to CNN, Bonvillain received tabloid offers that ranged from $500,000 to $3 million. One company eventually agreed to pay Bonvillain $1.5 million, and made arrangements to meet him. At this point, FBI moved in to arrest him.

Because Bonvillain agreed to perform 50 hours of community service, pay $3,000 in restitution, and undergo drug testing, charges were dismissed. He says that his lawsuit against Winfrey is mainly due to "damages."

"There was substantial damage done to my name and reputation on a world level," CNN reports Bonvillain saying via statement. "The extent of my damages is vast."

Kansas City Chiefs Larry Johnson Arrested for Spitting on Woman

Kansas City Chiefs running back Larry Johnson has been charged with simple assault for spitting his drink in a woman's face.

Kansas City police spokesman Darin Snapp said Johnson was charged Monday and turned himself in. He was later released after posting a $500 bond.

Snapp said the incident occurred on Oct. 10 at a Kansas City nightclub. The 24-year-old victim reported that Johnson threatened to kill her boyfriend before spitting his drink in her face, reports the Associated Press.

After leaving the bar, she said Johnson tried to spit on her again as he was escorted out.

It is the fourth time in five years that Johnson has been accused of assaulting a woman, and he faces a suspension for violating league rules.

The NFL Network reported Sunday that Johnson will meet with commissioner Roger Goodell in New York on Tuesday.

Terrence Howard Sued $5 Million for Assault

Actor Terrence Howard is being sued by composer Andrew "Tex" Allen who alleges Howard physically attacked him during a Broadway production in New York.

Allen claims in his $5 million lawsuit that the "Iron Man" actor repeatedly punched him in the face during a dispute while the pair were working on a "Cat on a Hot Tin Roof" early this year, the New York Post reported Sunday. The jazz pianist is the brother of "Hot Tin Roof" director, Debbie Allen.

The incident allegedly took place on Jan. 24 at the Walter Kerr Theatre in New York, when Howard confronted Allen for unreported reasons backstage, the suit alleges.

Both Allen and Howard, who earned an Academy Award Best Actor nomination for the 2005 movie "Hustle & Flow," have both refused to comment on the alleged altercation.

Lyfe Jennings' Ex Files Restraining Order, Details Altercation

R&B star Lyfe Jennings' ex-girlfriend and manager, Joy Bounds, has placed a temporary restraining order on the singer after accusing him of threatening her through phone calls, text messages and also invading her home.

A Fulton County Superior Court judge has approved a request that restricts Jennnings from contacting or coming within 200 yards of Bounds or their two children, according to the Atlanta Journal Constitution.

"Jennings destroyed 90 percent of my clothes, shoes, panties, socks, jackets, etc," she wrote in court documents. "He has told me that if he can't have me, nobody can."

Jennings has been ordered to pay $5,000 a month in child support and to provide her with various pieces of furniture, drapes, a television and other electronics, due to damage done to Bounds property.
Bounds has also alleged the singer would kill her male friend and report a vehicle she drives as stolen.

As previously reported by Livesteez, Jennings, 30, was arrested after firing a gun and leading police on a car chase in Georgia last weekend. Jennings posted $50,000 bond on Monday, October 20 and has since been released.

Both Bounds and Jennings are scheduled to appear in court on Thursday, November 6.

Child's Body Found in Missing Chevy Suburban Belonging to Hudson's Brother

A child's body was found in the vehicle police were looking for in their search for 7-year-old Julian King, the missing nephew of Oscar-winning actress Jennifer Hudson.

The 1994 white Chevrolet Suburban with Illinois license plate X584859 was found in the 1300 block of South Kolin Avenue around 8 a.m. Live TV shots showed a white Chevrolet Suburban being towed away.

The Cook County medical examiner's office has sent investigators to the scene and said the body of a black boy was found inside, an office spokesman said. The child had not been identified, according to ChicagoBreakingNews.com.

A Chicago police spokesman released no information about the discovery but are planning a news conference near where the vehicle was found.

Julian was reported missing and an Amber Alert was issued Friday after his grandmother and uncle were found shot to death inside the family's home in the 7000 block of South Yale Avenue.

If the boy is identified as Julian King, it will confirm detectives' worst fears, after law enforcement said bullet casings were found in the boy's room on Friday. However, there was no other evidence of violence found in the room.

Chicago police have interviewed William Balfour, 27, the estranged husband of the boy's mother, Julia Hudson. He was initially described by police as a suspect in the investigation.

Balfour has denied involvement in the killings or the disappearance of the boy, law enforcement sources said. But at some point, Balfour stopped talking to authorities, sources told the Tribune.

On Sunday morning, Balfour was transferred to a state facility after officials said he violated conditions of parole for a 1999 conviction for attempted murder. On Sunday, Illinois Department of Corrections spokeswoman Januari Smith said Balfour violated his parole because he is a suspect in the slayings and the boy's disappearance.
According to law enforcement sources, Balfour's alibi the day of the killings has been contradicted by his girlfriend. Police searched Balfour's girlfriend's house for several hours Friday night after taking him into custody. Her home is located about 2.5 miles from where the SUV was found this morning.

A family member of the girlfriend's said police have interviewed her. Police also tracked Balfour's whereabouts Friday through his cell phone, sources said.

Balfour and Julia Hudson had been separated for some time, his family members said. A family friend said Balfour recently had threatened to take Julian away.

Police Confirm Body Found in Chevy Suburban as Hudson's Missing Nephew

Chicago police have confirmed that the body of a young boy found Monday morning in an SUV was the missing nephew of Jennifer Hudson
, police Supt. Jody Weis said Monday afternoon.

Authorities found 7-year-old Julian King inside of a white Chevrolet Suburban on Chicago's West Side Monday morning. His body was on the floor in front of the SUV's middle row of seats, covered up with heavy plastic and other items to conceal the body, a police source told NBC Chicago. The boy appeared to have been shot in the back of the head, the source said. An autopsy has been scheduled for today, as reported by Eurweb.com.

King had been missing since Friday, when a cousin who lived nearby found the slain bodies of Hudson's 57-year-old mother Darnell Donerson, and 29-year-old brother Jason Hudson in the home they shared. Their deaths were ruled homicides. The Tribune reports that bullet casings were found in the boy's room on Friday.

The Chicago Police Department issued the following statement before noon Monday: "At approximately 7:06 A.M. a 1994 White Chevrolet Suburban bearing Illinois license plate X584859 and identified in the Amber Alert was located at 1313 S. Kolin. A body was discovered inside the Suburban, in the rear seat of the vehicle."

Police are reviewing surveillance tapes in the neighborhood where the SUV was found.

With the exception of having to identify all three bodies at the Medical Examiner's office, Jennifer Hudson has remained in seclusion in Chicago. According to the AP, all public events that she had scheduled over the next week or so have been canceled, and a planned video shoot for her new single "If It Isn't Love," which was to take place starting Monday in Los Angeles, was also abandoned.

Her label released this statement of support: "On behalf of the RCA Music Group and Arista Records, we send our deepest sympathies and condolences to Jennifer and her family during this difficult time."

Fox Studios, the company behind her latest film "The Secret Life of Bees," issued the following statement on Monday: "Everyone at Fox Searchlight and Twentieth Century Fox wishes to extend our deepest condolences to Jennifer and her family. Our thoughts are with them in this time of profound sadness."

Chicago police are calling the killings "domestic related" and have been questioning William Balfour, who is the estranged husband of Julia Hudson and is being held in state custody on a parole violation. Balfour is not the boy's father and has not been charged in the slayings.

Rapper Common Narrowly Avoids Deadly Shooting

Chicago rapper Common was nearly a witness in a fatal shooting that has left one man dead and four people injured.

The incident occurred yesterday afternoon near the intersection of 704 Fulton Street and South Oxford Street in the Fort Greene section of Brooklyn, NY.

According to eyewitness reports, two gunmen opened fire on a 19-year-old man who was waiting at the corner for a friend. The man fled into a nearby hair salon, and was subsequently cornered and killed by the suspects.

In the barrage of 30 shots, four innocent bystanders in the shop were hit including an off duty police officer, reports AllHipHop.com. Witnesses also allege one of the killers fired a deathblow to the head to make sure the victim perished. Afterward, the suspects fled in a blue Chevrolet Tahoe.

Common, a regular of the establishment, had just received a hair cut hours before the murder, stated Dana Jeter, a representative for the star’s record label.

The brazen shooting comes as a shock to new residents of the recently gentrified Fort Greene, but recalls the 1980s and early to mid 1990s when the area was ravaged by drugs, crime, and home to such infamous figures as the original 50 Cent aka Kelvin Martin.

No motive for the crime has been determined, although authorities are certain the victim was a scoped target and stalked before the actual shooting.

At press time, the two gunmen are still at large.

Happy Deepavali!

Happy Deepavali y'all!

I want to wish Happy Deepavali to all people who celebrate it. I hope this Festival of Light will bring out the inner joy and peace from all of us in making the world a better place to live.

So wear your new clothes and share your sweets and snacks with others. Enjoy your day!

30. Friday the 13th

I had only watched about half of the movies in the list and some of my favorite are Dawn of the Dead (2004), Poltergeist, Scream and Saw. I wonder how Alien got into the list, I thought that movie was more to sci-fi than horror. Anyway, some other horror movies that are my favorite but not listed in the list are House of Wax (2005), Night of the Living Dead (1990) and Urban Legend.

There are a lot of cool horror movies in Asia too. Some of the popular one that were made into Hollywood remake are The Ring (Japan), Ju-on (Japan) and Shutter (Thailand). But my favorite Asian horror movies are One Missed Call (Japan) and Long Khong (Thailand). Korea have several cool horror movies too like A Tale of Two Sisters (I like this!), Phone, Doll Master and Face. Malaysia have Jangan Pandang Belakang (translated as Don't Look Back) and Congkak. Indonesia, Philippines and Singapore have their own popular horror movies too.

Asians can never seem to get bored of horror movies. I don't know about you but I think it's fun to be spooked off whether in the cinema hall or in front of the TV.

Trees + Art

I was digging my old emails again and found this one email that a friend of mine sent to me about 2 years ago. I don't know how I missed this! Anyway, these trees look really cool. I don't know whether these pictures are real or not but as far as quality concerns, I think these pictures are real. I'm not sure how she got them, maybe one of her friends forwarded them to her and so she forwarded them to me and a few other friends. That's so nice of her. Okay, so I'm like 2 years late but...thank you for sharing these!

Vote with style

Sharaun

This week on America's Next Top Model, the girls had a photo shoot that revolves around political issues. Some of the issues were military, security, illegal immigrants, bureaucracy and privacy. Some girls did good while some of them struggled.

There are some girls that I like and they are Sheena, Elina, Analeigh the skater, Brittany and McKey the boxer. But based on this photo shoot, my favorite are Elina, Brittany and Isis the
transgender.

I'm really impressed with Isis. She's very determined and she looks like she knows how to model. She didn't care about the nasty things that the other girls said about her, she just want to win this competition, and I think she has a chance.

Marjorie is funny. She always seem nervous and insecure. But I kinda like her, she seems like a nice person. According to Tyra, the first girl to be called each week will have her picture displayed in the house as digital art and Marjorie was the lucky girl this week. I thought Elina or Isis will be called first because I personally think they're pictures are good. Looks like Marjorie has a hidden talent here. All she needs now is self-confidence. Way to go girl!

Marjorie

Elina

Brittany

Isis

First to be eliminated is Sharaun. I know she's kinda annoying with her I'm-the-America's-Next-Top-Model comment but I don't think her picture is the worst one this week. I think Clark has a dead impression in her picture. But I'm no expert so Sharaun was sent home. Maybe the judges think she doesn't have what it takes to be America's Next Top Model, looks and behaviour wise. Or maybe it just bad karma for saying nasty things to Isis. ;-P

Hectic in Hong Kong

Thank God it's a non-elimination leg.

From Taiwan to Hong Kong. Yes, you read it right. The remaining teams went to Hong Kong for the 6th leg of the race. First, they headed to King's Park Sports ground to get their clue. But to get it they must get through a rugby field while a rugby team was playing there. Tricky!

Next, a Detour. This time they must choose between Get Fishy or Get Lucky. In Get Fishy, teams must clean, scale and gut 15 fishes before they can get their next clue. In Get Lucky, teams must bite open 300 fortune cookies and find the right fortune before they can get their next clue. All teams picked Get Lucky except for Henry & Bernie who chose Get Fishy. Get Fishy looks a little bit difficult than Get Lucky but since Henry is a chef, so I guess they didn't have any major problem with the task.

Then came a Roadblock. In this Roadblock, teams must pick one handbag from a selection of handbags hanging from the clue box and find a woman who is carrying a matching handbag in the Ladies Market. A little bit tricky since the place was crowded with people. Sam & Vince were lucky since they arrive a little bit early and there was still not so many people there. After they find the woman, they will get their next clue which told them that they must head for the pit stop at Blake Pier in Stanley Bay.

First to arrive at the pit stop were Sam & Vince, followed by Henry & Bernie, Geoff & Tisha and A.D. & Fuzzie. The last team to arrive was my favourite team, Ida & Tania. I was so sad! But like I said, thank God it's a non-elimination leg. Ida & Tania was still in the race but they were asked to give up all their money. I wonder how can they survive without money?

I still couldn't figure out who will win this race. It looks like all the teams have equal chance of winning this. Henry & Bernie, consistent. Sam & Vince, getting better and better. Geoff & Tisha, they have learned to work together (and of course there's the LOVE factor, lol). A.D. & Fuzzie, they proved they don't have to run to still be in the race. Last but not least, Ida & Tania, they are determined, strong-willed women and they showed us the true meaning of friendship.

I think the teams will fly farther in the next leg, Europe maybe?
