G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra

This Friday, the much anticipated blockbuster "G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra" opens in theaters across the country.
In the film, Channing Tatum leads a super elite group of soldiers, who are trying to save the world from an evil femme fatale played by Sienna Miller. Miller and Tatum, and their respective action figures, joined Early Show co-anchor Maggie Rodriguez to discuss the exciting blockbuster.

Rodriguez put Tatum on the spot and showed a video on YouTube where Tatum does an impression of Patrick Swayze in "Dirty Dancing." Miller won't be taking on comedy, but she will be taking on Broadway. She will take on the role of Miss Julie in "After Miss Julie" written by Richard Marber.

Jon & Kate Plus 8

Reality TV mom Kate Gosselin says she feels a sense of peace after making the decision to separate from her husband. So should fans of "Jon & Kate Plus 8," who may have fretted that this family-oriented reality show would be jeopardized by the co-stars' estrangement. For better or worse, the TLC series is as warm and fuzzy as ever, if two new episodes that aired Monday are any indication.
The episodes marked the end of a hiatus that began in June, when the Gosselins revealed to a huge audience of 10.6 million viewers their decision to split. The TLC network said then the couple needed time to "regroup," an odd word choice for a broken marriage."This was my first official turn with the kids," Kate said. "It didn't feel very much different. It just felt more like the future."Kate supervised a camp-out for the kids in the yard.
"This is a very, very difficult time right now," she told the camera from her interview chair, a change from the couch she and Jon had shared on the series in the past. "But my main goal is to make this transition as easy and painless ... for the kids as possible."
But "Jon & Kate" fans (and TLC) needn't worry about the scandalmongering. The show still tells a different, squeaky-clean story — almost as if nothing had changed

Who will get the $700 Million?

A 2002 will of Michael Jackson grants the custody of his estate to his mother and his three children but excludes his father.However, pop star's family has not seen the document, the Journal said quoting family lawyer L Londell McMillan.However, Michael Jackson's family has not seen the document.Family Lawyer McMillan said that No will has been presented to family or us. We will review any will when we see it.

Jackson's former lawyer, John Branca has come out claiming that he has the will. Sources close to the singer said that Branca may submit the will to the Los Angeles Superior Court on Thursday.The will names Branca who was Jackson's lawyer between 1980 and 2002 and veteran music executive John McLain as its executors. Branca also claims that he was rehired by the singer just a week before his death.The document has reportedly cut out Jackson's father, Joe Jackson, who shared an uneasy relationship with his legendary son.TMichael Jackson had a troubled childhood and had openly blamed his father for abusing him as a child.The latest development is expected to cause further confusion over ownership of Jackson's property.
According to the Journal, Jackson left a debt of $500 million but the value of his estate estimated at $700 million.
Meanwhile, Jackson's 79-year-old mother Katherine Jackson was granted temporary custody of her three grandchildren in a court hearing. The children will be under the care of Katherine till August 3, after which she will make her case to be their permanent guardian.
The pop star's ex-wife Debbie Rowe, the mother of his two elder children is also expected to claim custody of her children and there is also the possibility that the mother of Jackson's youngest child, Prince Michael II, may emerge to reclaim the boy.
But, speaking outside a music awards tribute in Los Angeles on Sunday, Joe Jackson had claimed that he was following his son's wishes.

World's Largest Diamond

World's Largest Diamond In South Africa On January 25th 1905, at the Premier Mine in Pretoria, a 3,106-carat diamond was discovered during a routine inspection by the mine's superintendent. Weighing 1 1/3 pounds, and christened the "Cullinan," it was the largest diamond ever found.
Frederick Wells was 18 feet below the earth's surface when he spotted a flash of starlight embedded in the wall just above him. His discovery was presented that same afternoon to Sir Thomas Cullinan, who owned the mine. Cullinan then sold the diamond to the Transvaal provincial government, which presented the stone to Britain's King Edward VII as a birthday gift. Worried that the diamond might be stolen in transit from Africa to London, Edward arranged to send a phony diamond aboard a steamer ship loaded with detectives as a diversionary tactic. While the decoy slowly made its way from Africa on the ship, the Cullinan was sent to England in a plain box.

Microsoft and Yahoo

Microsoft Corp. Chief Executive Steve Ballmer is still signaling an interest in a deal to buy part of Yahoo Inc.

He then added that he had only one conversation with Carol Bartz since she became Yahoo's chief executive in January. Ballmer said he congratulated her and said he'd like to chat at some point about a possible deal.
Bartz's predecessor as Yahoo CEO, Jerry Yang, rebuffed a $47.5 billion takeover offer from Microsoft last year.
Yahoo shares rose 38 cents, 2.8 percent, to $13.80 in morning trading. Microsoft shares were up one cent at $16.97

controls production of tooth enamel

It may not be long when our grandparents can retain their big 'closeup' smiles even at advanced stages of their life as scientists have identified a gene that controls production of tooth enamel, promising replacement of teeth which can be grown on demand.The identification of the gene opens new vistas in the dental sciences as it could make possible repair of damaged enamel, a new concept in cavity prevention, restoration and even the production of replacement teeth.

The gene known as Ctip2 was known for several functions including immunity and development of skin and nervous system in the body. The researchers at Oregon State University in the US have found that this gene is also responsible for the development of tooth as well.
The findings were published in the latest edition of the journal 'Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences' in America.One of the researchers Chrissa Kioussi said that it's not unusual for a gene to have multiple functions, but before this we didn't know what regulated the production of tooth enamel.
Scientists used mice whose Ctip2 gene was "silenced" as such animals come as an important tool for scientists to study what systems are present and what are missing.

Alfie Patten: A 13 year old father

Its seem to be impossible but it's TRUE.When you read this title you might think something different but the thing I am going to tell you it is quite true as well as shocking.Alfie Patten, 13, and his girlfriend Chantelle Steadman, 15 have baby. His daughter Maise Roxanne was born four days ago and weighed 7lb 3oz. I cannot understand how it can even be possible and even you would get the same question in you mind. When I saw the picture I feel like the oldest brother holding his youngest sister .boys this age I don't think has even ejaculate. but Physiologically, sperm can be produced and active at the age of eight to ten, If a kid can whack off and ejaculate, the sperm get active. Women carry the same eggs their entire lives, and it's even possible to get pregnant before menstruation starts but it is really unhealthy.it is not good for health.
I do feel sorry for him he is still a child and has no idea what has just happened first time you have sex and there you go - PREGNANT. Alfie, who is just 4ft tall, hasn't yet hit puberty and was 12 when the baby was conceived, said: "When my mum found out, I thought I was going to get in trouble. We wanted to have the baby but were worried about how people would react. "I didn't know what it would be like to be a dad. I will be good though, and care for it," he told The Sun newspaper. I think SEX education is what is needed, as children are having sex younger, schools and parents need to educate kids about sex earlier.

DNA of common cold mapped for first time

Scientists have deciphered the genetic code of common cold for the first time, a breakthrough which they claim could herald effective new treatments for the ubiquitous virus.There is no known cure for the virus, responsible for making millions cough and sneeze every year and which can also trigger asthma attacks. Now, an international team has mapped the DNA or "instruction manual" for 99 strains of the cold. As far as the study, the scientists have uncovered how the virus has evolved constructing a "family tree", and identified what they believe are vulnerabilities which could be targeted by new medications, the 'Science' journal reported.In fact, the study has shown for the first time that different strains can "swap genes" creating new strains of the virus, suggesting there would never be an effective vaccine. "Having sequenced the complete genomes of these things we now know you can be infected by more than one virus at a time and that they can recombine (their genes)," said Ann Palmenberg of Wisconsin-Madison University, who led the study."That's why we'll never have a vaccine for the common cold. Nature is very efficient at putting different kinds of paint on the viruses," 'The Daily Telegraph' quoted Palmenberg as saying.
