Malayalam Hot Actress Shakeela getting married
Some news may put you in a confused state; you don’t know how to react! You can’t ignore it, at the same time can’t speak up. Such hot news about a hot babe (aunty?) hit the newsstands today and it has become the hot topic of every one! Yes. Shakeela revealed that she is getting married to a Chennai based Business Man in June 2010.
Shakeela debuted through ‘Playgirls’ at the age of 15 as a supporting actress. Her big hit film ‘Kinnarathumbikal’ brought her under limelight. She had become popular by acting in B-grade Malayalam films at a time when Malayalam film industry was going through a bad recession. The deluge of B-grade Shakeela films produced on a shoestring budget of 20 to 25 lakhs rupees devastated the Star value of the heroes in the Malayalam film industry. Her popular B-Grade films were dubbed and released in all south Indian languages even in Assamese too! She is now appearing in comedy oriented character roles in Tamil, Telugu and Kannada. She acted in more than 200 movies out of which more than 100 are Malayalam movies.
Hefty figure and Bursty Booby Shakeela announced during shooting of Tamil film ‘Nachiapuram’ that my mother, who was my guardian and companion, passed away recently. So, my food habits changed and I lost 20 Kgs of my weight. Mollywood has not expelled me. I acted with Mohanlal in ‘Chota Mumbai’ recently. As far as glamour acting is concerned, I would say my season is over and nobody will be interested to see my glamour hereafter. I am going to act in character roles. My would-be is a Chennai based Business Man. I don’t want to reveal his name now as somebody may try to hamper our marriage. Though it is a love marriage, parents of my would-be consented for this marriage which will be held in June. I will act after marriage also. Senegalese novelist and campaigner for women's rights Mariama Bâ said “A woman must marry the man who loves her but never the one she loves; that is the secret of lasting happiness” Let us wish Shakeela that her bed be filled with full of roses after her marriage!

Maradona leads call for fair play - without a hint of irony
A drug cheat and the perpetrator of the most infamous handball in football history is, on the face of it, hardly the ideal ambassador for a campaign to promote fair play.
Normal boundaries, however, have never really applied to Diego Maradona and so, without even a hint of irony, he used his final press conference before his first match as a World Cup manager to deliver a sermon on honest football.
Hand of God -Diego Maradona scores against England in the 1986 World Cup
"Let there really be fair play, let the referees understand what the words 'fair play' mean," he said. "If you don't want to play clean football then go up into the stands."
Conveniently, Maradona pointed out that Fifa's drive for fair play began in 1990 - after his 'Hand of God' goal against England in 1986 - and he had certainly not forgotten the way his unique skills made him such a target. "When fair play started in 1990, I got a kick from a guy against Cameroon that nearly took my head off," he said, smiling.
Maradona was certainly relaxed enough on Friday ahead of his first involvement in a World Cup match since failing a drugs test in 1994.
At one point, he even complained, tongue-in-cheek, to an Argentine reporter that he was made to look bad in photographs taken of him this week.
Maradona did, however, get serious as he explained how it felt to have the hopes of Argentina resting on his shoulders ahead of Saturday's match against Nigeria.
"I was much more nervous as a player," he said. "I was telling Javier Mascherano that I had sweaty palms, I was wondering how I was going to play, I was trying to save energy while I was playing.
"I live just as intensely today but I'm not as nervous because I completely believe in the 23 players that I have. I'm going to live or die with these 23 players. We've planned together, we train together, we speak together.
"I know what the people back home are expecting and feeling. I believe we will start building towards a dream. Many of us cherish this dream and this dream had not come true for quite some time.
"It's great what we have. We are proud, we're happy, and I think we've had good preparation. These 23 players, these monsters, these fighters, give me great peace of mind when I see them, which I've never felt before."
Stirring words - and backed up by the quality of his squad. Predicting Maradona's team selection is never easy, but the expectation is that he will pair Juan Sebastian Veron with Mascherano in midfield, meaning he must choose two forwards from Lionel Messi, Gonzalo Higuain, Carlos Tevez, Diego Milito and Sergio Aguero.
The one certainty is that Messi will start; a player who genuinely could have the same sort of imprint on the tournament as Maradona had in 1986.
"I would love to see that," said Maradona. "I certainly would appreciate it if he could have the same leading role that I had then. But behind Lionel there is a whole team backing him up and he should be the cherry on the cake.
"I just hope from the bottom of my heart that Lionel gets to show what he can do and that he has the best performance of all time."
If you have yet to understand just what Maradona means to Argentina, it was perhaps necessary only to listen to Messi's response.
"Even after a million years I will not be as good as him," he said. "Maradona was the greatest of all time

Soccer bond between U.S., England runs deep
One of the U.S. men's biggest victories in their history came against England back in 1950 when Joe Gaetjens historic goal thrust his team to a famous 1-0 victory.
At the time, the loss was so unbelievable that when people saw the score they thought it was a typo and that England must have won. Not the case, as the team that was given 500-to-1 odds of winning the World Cup were able to knock off a team with 3-1 odds.
The two countries are also, as almost everyone knows, paired together in this month’s World Cup. Their second-ever World Cup meeting could be just as memorable as the first.
World Cup 2010
marquez brake south african hearts when he
equalised in the 79th minitue
Brazil's World Cup winning coach Carlos Alberto Parreira may have guided South Africa's football team on a 12-match unbeaten run going into Friday's World Cup opener against Mexico, but the doubters felt scalps like Thailand and a draw with Japan wasn't something to crow about.All week long Bafana Bafana's followers had been preaching belief, but there were still plenty of sceptics around here.
They didn't believe in magic.They so nearly were turned into converts on Friday, but in the end, a 1-1 draw between the two Group A protagonists was a fair result, as the 2010 World Cup finals came alive on the pitch after an intense week-long build-up that have left many expecting great things from the 19th edition of the tournament.
South African President Jacob Zuma called it Africa's World Cup, when he declared the tournament open minutes before kick off.
The organisers will be licking their lips at the prospect of the continent's first World Cup becoming one of the special editions in the history of the event after a pulsating first game that threw up numerous chances and great end-to-end action.
Mingling with the crowd at Nelson Mandela Square on the eve of the match, some Mexican fans told me their team were talented, played mostly good football but, as always, tended to be wasteful in front of goal.
Those fans, among the 90,000-odd at Soccer City Stadium on Friday, would have nodded their head in frustration time and again in the first half as their favourites dissected the South African defence on a number of occasions, only to fluff their chances and leave coach Javier Aguirre catatonic on the touch-line.
Arsenal striker Carlos Vela and twinkled-toed ex-Barcelona attacker Giovani Dos Santos terrified the hosts' defence, and with Mexico skipper Gerardo Torrado spraying accurate passes long and short, the vuvuzelas on the terraces were strangely muffled.
Somehow, Bafana Bafana went into the break unscathed, and as has been repeated so many times in the tournament since the first World Cup in 1930, the better team were punished for their profligacy in front of goal.
A stunning move in the heart of midfield in the 55th minute led to the excellent Teko Modise releasing Siphiwe Tshabalala with a sumptuous pass.
And with a thunderbolt finish that brought back memories of the great Brazilian defender Josimar, Tshabalala sent a whole country into a frenzy.
This time it was South Africa who began to carve out gilt-edged chances, only to draw groans from the crowd as they failed to seal what would have been a crucial win.
With 11 minutes to go, Mexico sent a nation into despair when Barcelona defender Rafael Marquez fired home from close range after the home side's defence went to sleep.
Katlego Mphela so nearly became a South African hero near the end but one-on-one with the 'keeper, his effort hit the post to ensure the spoils were shared.
At least the result meant the two sets of fans who got on so well together at Nelson Mandela Square in the build-up to the game would remain united in song at the post-game party, still dreaming of a place in the last 16.
And the Rainbow Nation waits to see South Africa's next game on Wednesday against Uruguay, hoping for match-winning magic, Bafana Bafana style.
