Was Obama Ogling, or is it Awkward Photography?
While many claim Obama has brought some dignity back to America, a couple of weeks back a photo taken in Italy emerged that shows Obama doing like the locals, practically spinning out of his shoes while checking out a young lady’s shapely rump. So some say … (Update: Uh-oh, she’s a teenager! Conflicting reports say she’s either 16 or 17)
French President Nicolas Sarkozy, whose more subtly lecherous gaze was completely overshadowed, thanks Obama for all the attention on the leader of the free world. (Though Sarkozy wasn’t so smooth here.)

Heidi Montag – Today’s Crush
She first caught our attention on The Hills, as Laguna Beach star Audrina Patridge’s roommate. Since then she went on to date co-cast member Spencer Pratt, was on again off again with him, got married to him, etc., etc. Long story short – a lot of air time, cat fights, a nose job, boob job and collagen lip injections later, what do you know – she’s emerged as quite a newsmaker and a sultry one at that.
But what really got us suckers for this lovely lady was her appearance in I’m a Celebrity, Get Me Out of Here which also stars ex American Idol contestant Sanjaya Malakar, Lou Diamond Phillips, Stephen Baldwin and a bunch of other celebrities. One valuable lesson we learned from Heidi Montag? Hair spray is key to survival.
Bagelheads — Scariest Body-Mod Trend Ever
Some Japanese hipsters are so into delicious bread products that they are getting bagel shapes injected into their foreheads by piercing specialists using saline solution. This bizarre — even by Japanese standards — body modification only lasts about a day and doesn’t come with cream cheese.
Bihar Farmers Make Their Daughters Plough Naked For Rain!
Superstitions and misinformation rule some parts of the world. None more so than in Bihar. And once again, showing their authority in such matters, Bihar has outdone the country in a bid for rain.
While there was much silliness around the country to attract rain (yagnas, pujas and what not), there was no place in the country where young daughters were made to plough the fields naked. By their own fathers.
Now, for rain, they make their daughter plough naked. Can you imagine what they would make them do for food or worse — money? The end result is that there still isn’t much rain in those parts. And we can’t help but think that the daughters may still be ploughing.

Beauty and Brains — 14 Celebrities with Both
It’s always been the case that some of the most attractive female celebrities are also packing a surprising amount of brain power.
An example of this combination of smarts and sex appeal comes from Jayne Mansfield, a pinup queen from the 50s whose 160 IQ was matched in impressiveness by her 40 inch bust.
While it’s possible that no one of note has sported such a stunning combination since, some of today’s most comely celebs are bringing their fair share of intelligence to the equation. We take you through the best of these hybrids of beauty and brains.
Fuzzy at the Crease — Greatest Cricket Beards
As this year’s Ashes get underway we are wont to reflect on its history. So many things make cricket the pasttime it is — white trousers, tea, rain delays and those long snakes of empty beer glasses passed around at test matches.
But most of all, it’s the beards.
From W.G. Grace’s iconic full-growth, to Monty Panesar’s recent fan favourite, from the masterful beards of the Indian sub-continent to the designer stubble of Freddie Flintoff, beards make cricket players the fashion icons they are.
Of course while Indian cricket has produced its fair share of facial hair glory, cricket is an international game and great beards have come from every cricketing nation.
As this summer’s cricket gets underway, we celebrate the game’s top 20 facial hair victories.
Mallika Sherawat Gets Her Own Milkshake
Currently in Hollywood to work on her latest film Hissss, Mallika Sherawat has been getting a lot of attention in the US from the likes of Yanni to even the folks at Twitter HQ. And after starring in roles that use any excuse to show off her sexy curves, Sherawat gets her name attached to a milkshake now. Millions of Milkshakes, a West Hollywood eatery founded by the same guy behind celebrity hound Hollywood.TV, has created the ‘Mallika Milkshake’.
What’s in it? Blueberries, raspberries, blackberries, strawberries with whipped cream and flake. How does it taste? We don’t know but at least we get our fantasy of mixing whipped cream and Mallika Sherawat — even though it may not be exactly how we intended it to be!
View images of Mallika Sherawat whipping up her personalised milkshake…
Babes of the New York Anime Festival
As the New York Anime Festival attests, Japanese animation isn’t all giant robots and schoolgirl panty-flashes. Turns out it’s mostly giant robot panty-flashes. These days anime culture covers a broad spectrum, from Adult Swim to video games to that section of Waterstones where all the emo kids camp out.
Despite anime’s rampant mainstreaming, one element remains intact — scantily-clad action babes. Even the most tame anime series features at least one doe-eyed hottie who’s prone to bending over for the flimsiest of reasons. Thankfully, events like the NY Anime Festival and the World Cosplay Summit inspire plenty of real-life ladies around the world to don tights, wigs and myriad paraphernalia to celebrate all that is anime.
Super high-jump into our gallery of anime and video game babes, expand your horizons and power up. Mighty Power Rocketship Team Asylum, go!
India’s Secret Weapon Against Terrorism — Golf Carts!
Recall a scene from the latest war movie that you have seen. We’re talking tanks, aircrafts and other heavy artillery vehicles charging towards the enemy on a battle field. And right behind them are troops of shiny white golf carts attacking the terrain with the same brute force as our local auto-rickshaws. Confused? We’ll explain.
An audit of the military’s recent spending revealed that the Indian Army chiefs had spent 10 million rupees of the defence budget on 22 golf carts, many of which now shuttle courses in Chandigarh, Jalandar and Ambala.
