International cricket is set to return to Pakistan after three years, with Bangladesh formally confirming to the PCB that they will play one ODI and one Twenty20 International there later this month. There has been no cricket between two Full Member nations in Pakistan since the attack on the Sri Lanka team in March 2009.

The ODI is scheduled for April 29 and the T20I for April 30. Both matches will be played at the Gaddafi Stadium in Lahore.

“The public of Pakistan have been deprived of cricket and we felt that we needed to support them,” BCB president Mustafa Kamal said. “The reception we received when we toured Continue Reading…

On Wednesday, Jolie was spotted sporting a huge diamond on her left ring finger. It sure took her long enough to get that big diamond (confirmed to be designed by Pitt himself and jeweler Robert Procop). She has been with Pitt since 2005, when they fell in love on the set of Mr. & Mrs. Smith (their relationship reportedly caused Brad’s marriage to Jennifer Aniston to fail).

Now, Pitt and Jolie have six children together — Maddox, 10, Pax, 8, Zahara Continue Reading…

BITTOO BOSS is interesting in the first few reels. The energy thrown in by debutant actor Pulkit Samrat, who plays the protagonist, is noteworthy. The film relies heavily on Pulkit, and even though the lad makes an honest attempt he is not able to pull off the film.

The US Friday apologized to Bollywood star Shah Rukh Khan for “an inconvenience” experienced by him at the White Plains airport in New York while on a visit.

Khan was in the US on the invitation of Yale University, which honoured him. But before reaching Yale, Khan was detained for one-and-half hours at White Plains for secondary security checks by the US Customs and Border Patrol agency.

The US Embassy here issued a statement Friday evening apologising for Continue Reading…

Altaf Khan, who scavenges garbage for a living in the day and sleeps on the streets at night near a stinking natural drain in Rawalpindi, is unaware of the day being marked on April 11 across the world for the rights of streets children like him.

Born to poor parents in a Mohmand Agency village, this 14-year-old was the only male member of his small family after his father, Taj Gul Khan, died in exchange of fire between Continue Reading…

Cross a top supermodel with a social networking site and what do you get? A cyber-stampede. Yes, Rosie Huntington-Whiteley has arrived on Twitter.

Simple, not particularly revealing, but it had already attracted over 400 followers within 20 minutes – a number that we’re sure will seem paltry in 24 hours if her fellow supermodel’s accounts are anything to go by (at last count Brazilian Victoria’s Secret Angel Alessandra Ambrosio had notched up 349,434 followers, whilst Adriana Lima had 325,583 Continue Reading…
