I thought this was pretty hot news for people who used to say Johnny Depp is hot. A genealogist has revealed that Johnny Depp is related to Queen Elizabeth II. According to the Sunday Mirror, the American actor, who plays Captain Jack Sparrow in the Pirates of the Caribbean franchise, is the Queen’s cousin 20 times removed. "You have to go back more than 500 years to reach the point where his ancestors become royal," said Dr Nick Barratt, who carried out the research. Source: www.mirror.co.uk
Published May 17 2011 So 500 years is the timeline? So, how about talking about me being related to you? If you’re talking about 500 years, we’re probably all related to one another.

A US$700 (RM2,030) blood test that tells someone’s biological age will go on sale in Britain later this year, reports the Independent. The test will be able to offer the possibility of estimating how long the person has left to live by measuring telomeres on the tip of their chromosomes, the most important and accurate indicators of how rapidly someone is aging. However, critics worry that it can be misused by some companies that try to sell unproven anti-aging remedies. Insurance companies might also take interest in the result of the test to decide what kind of medical coverage they will offer. However, the test could provide insights into a range of age-related disorders, from cardiovascular disease to Alzheimer’s and cancer. The inventor of the test said that the fact that short telomeres can cause a shorter lifespan is already known. “What’s new about this test is that it is very precise. We can detect a very small differences in telomere length and it is a very simple and fast technique where many samples can be analyzed at the same time. Most importantly, we are able to determine the presence of dangerous telomeres — those that are very short,” said Maria Blasco of the Spanish National Cancer Research Center. Telomere research is also an exciting area in biomedical science and three scientists who received the Nobel Prize last year are pioneers in the field. “It will be useful for you to know your biological age and maybe to change your lifestyle habits if you find you have short telomeres,” said a former post-doctoral student of the Nobel Prize winner Carol Greider of Harvard Medical School.

Black Eyed Peas fans? I just realised Black Eyed Peas have been writing and producing songs for parties. Not that I am surprise with this new song and release from The Black Eyed Peas called – Don’t Stop The Party? The lyrics is all about party and more parties. Here’s the video:

The Black Eyed Peas – Don’t Stop The Party

The Hip-Hop group compile footage from their live concerts including their recent performance at 2011 Super Bowl. The track is featured on their latest album “The Beginning”. I thought it was really unique to do a music video this way. Entertaining! They are real party goers!

I bet this was one of Bieber’s most disappointing times. You know all the hyped that happened when he was in Malaysia? It was like the whole world singing to his tunes. Not forgetting my colleague. Could Bieber Fever be dying out at last? It would seem so for the good people of Hong Kong. Mop-haired teen idol Justin Bieber, who usually draws legions of screaming fan-girls at his sold-out concerts got a hugely disappointing greeting when he arrived in the city last week. Just seven fans showed up at the Hong Kong airport to greet the Biebs, the Sunday Morning Post reported, calling it an ’embarrassingly low-key reception’. According to the paper, there were ‘three times’ more bodyguards than female fans at the airport with the 17-year-old pop sensation ‘looking grumpy and walking straight past the small group of fans as they yelled out his name’. But some fans defended the Canadian-born singer, saying his gloomy demeanour was due to him falling ill before arriving in the southern Chinese city. In contrast to the icy reception at the airport, Bieber’s concert on Friday there – one of the last shows in his My World tour – still saw a 13,500-seat stadium almost packed to capacity. The pop sensation soared to stardom after videos of his performances were posted on YouTube, with his album My World 2.0 hitting the top of the US charts. So, whats happening with Bieber in Hong Kong? Is he losing out to the Asian singers in Hong Kong? Or is it just the welcome at the airport for Bieber? Source: Straits Times

No one can run away from the fact that Chris Brown actually smack Rihanna, isnt it? Perhaps, I would have post a picture of Chris Brown’s palm on Rihanna’s face?! But well, recently, they are on the news again. This time for some little minor thing which I think it has been far a bit exaggerated. Apparently, Chris Brown and Rihanna follows each other on Twitter. Does that mean they still wanna know what’s going on in each other’s lives? Does following each other on Twitter equals a hook up? Rihanna’s fans apparently has been creating an uproar showing dissatisfactions. They even claimed that Rihanna should not get back to him because Rihanna has a lot of young girls looking up to her. Is it even related? Well, Rihanna quickly responded and tweeted: “Its f**kin twitter not the alter! calm down! “ So, should these 2 get together again and create any drama in each other’s lives? Or should they just keep it at Twitter? I probably wonder who was that free to see who people are following. You might wanna see who I am following and maybe you can claim that I am in love with these girls?? 😛
