Posted on November 25, 2010 by admin


Ryan Reynolds: “The Sexiest Man Alive 2010″ – The upcoming Green Lantern Star Ryan Reynolds has been named by the US magazine People as “the sexiest man alive” this 2010. This is for the first time that a Canadian has made the list in the 25 years since the magazine began its annual feature.

Among the previous holders of the title “sexiest man alive” includes Johnny Depp, George Clooney, Brad Pitt and Tom Cruise.

Ryan Reynolds has recently starred in the film Buried, playing a US contractor working in Iraq who is buried alive. The actor has married the actress Scarlett Johansson in 2008.

The actor said: “The sexiest thing about Canadians is that there’s an inherent ability to be self-depreciating. That has served me well in my career and personal life. This gives my family entry into teasing me for the rest of my life. The most difficult part is going to be organically working this title into a conversation with random strangers.”

Suffragan Bishop Of Church Of England Suspended For His Remarks On The Royal Wedding

Posted on November 23, 2010 by admin

With the news of the royal British wedding come flooding over the news, a bishop is suspended indefinitely for his bold and derogative series of comments he posted on Facebook.

Pete Broadbent is a suffragan bishop of the Church of England expressed that the marriage between Prince William and Kate Middleton wedding will be surrounded by “nauseating tosh” and that their royal marriage would only last seven years.

“We need a party in Calais for all good republicans who can’t stand the nauseating tosh that surrounds this event,” he wrote on Facebook.

His disparaging comments has angered the politicians and of his fellow clergymen, forcing him to apologize for his statements.

He has made his apology but it failed to conciliate the Right Reverend Richard Chartres, the bishop– his superior. Rev Chartress was “appalled” by Broadbent’s comments.

Rev Chartres said, “In common with most of the country I share the joy which the news of the engagement has brought…I have now had an opportunity to discuss with Bishop Peter how his comments came to be made and I have noted his unreserved apology. Nevertheless, I have asked him to withdraw from public ministry until further notice…I have been in touch with St James’ Palace to express my own dismay on behalf of the church.”

Broadbent was absent from the morning’s service at Westminster Abbey, marking the inauguration of the Church of England’s General Synod – a council convened to discuss ecclesiastical business.
