	<p>About her:</p>
	<p>She was born in Reading, England on October 5th 1975. Her father is Roger, also an actor, her mother&#8217;s name is Sally, she&#8217;s a qualified nanny. Her mother has acted as well, and she&#8217;s the daughter of two actors. No wonder Kate went into the acting business.<br />
Kate has two sisters, both actresses. Anna is her older sister, and Beth is her younger sister. She also has a younger brother, Joss, and he has ambitions to be an actor as well.</p>
	<p>&#8220;Well all my family act so I sort of always knew I wanted to do it and I think it was probably when I was cast as Mary in my school nativity when I was five...&#8221; Kate&#8217;s grandparents managed a sixty-seat theater in their backyard in Reading, where they presented musicals and plays.</p>
	<p> It was a family thing. We&#8217;re all big eaters. My uncle is a chef. My mother is a fantastic cook. Kind of unavoidable. I sensibly lost the weight doing Weigh Watchers. End of story.&#8221;</p>
	<p>She made her television-debut in the British television drama &#8220;Shrinks&#8221; in 1988, after that she appeared in several television series. In 1989 she did &#8220;Casualty&#8221;, in 1991 she was Reet in &#8220;Dark Season&#8221;, in 1992 she played Eleanor Sweet in &#8220;Get Back&#8221;, in 1993 she did &#8220;Anglo-Saxon Attitudes&#8221;. Kate also did some theaterwork. She appeared in &#8220;Pandora&#8221; a musical from Adrian Mole, played Wendy in &#8220;Peter Pan&#8221;, Sarah in &#8220;A Game Of Soldier&#8221; and got the role of Geraldine in &#8220;What The Butler Saw&#8221;. She received the Manchester Evening News Award for Best Supporting Actress as Geraldine.</p>
	<p>After that she did several movies, for details go to the &#8216;Filmography&#8217; section of this website. In chronological order:<br />
Heavenly Creatures, A kid in King Arthur&#8217;s court, Sense and Sensibility, Jude, Hamlet, Titanic, Hideous Kinky and her last one is Holy Smoke.<br />
So far Titanic was most succesful. Hideous Kinky was a small movie which wasquite something else from Titanic. We are waiting for Holy Smoke, a movie about a girl in a cult, shot in Australia with Harvey Keitel as deprogrammer. Holy Smoke will open in the Dutch theatres November 25, as I heard.</p>
	<p>On 22nd November 1998 Kate married assistant director Jim Threapleton at All Saint&#8217;s Church in Reading. They meet at the set of Hideous Kinky in Morocco where they were both working.</p>

	<p>Birth Name<br />
Catherine Jones</p>
	<p>Height<br />
5&#8242; 8&#8243; (1.73 m)<br />
Biography</p>
	<p>Catherine Zeta-Jones was born on 25 September 1969, in Swansea, West Glamorgan, Wales, UK, the daughter of Dai Jones, who formerly worked for a candy factory, and Pat Jones. Her brother David Jones (b. 1967) is a development executive and brother Lyndon Jones (b.1972) works at her production company. Catherine showed an interest early on in entertainment. She starred on stage in &#8220;Annie&#8221;, &#8220;Bugsy Malone&#8221; and &#8220;The Pajama Game&#8221;. At 15 she had the lead in the British revival of &#8220;42nd Street&#8221;. She was originally cast as the second understudy for the lead role in the musical but when the star and first understudy became sick the night the play&#8217;s producer was in the audience, she was given the lead for the rest of the musical&#8217;s production. She first made a name for herself in the early 1990s when she starred in the Yorkshire Television comedy/drama series &#8220;The Darling Buds of May&#8221; (1991). The show was a smash hit and made her one of the United Kingdom&#8217;s most popular television actresses. She subsequently played supporting roles in several films including Christopher Columbus: The Discovery (1992), the miniseries Catherine the Great (1995) (TV) and a larger part as the seductive Sala in The Phantom (1996) before landing her breakthrough role playing the fiery Elena opposite Anthony Hopkins and Antonio Banderas in The Mask of Zorro (1998). She starred in many big-budget blockbusters like Entrapment (1999), The Haunting (1999) and Traffic (2000), for which many believed she was robbed of an Oscar nomination for best supporting actress. In November 2000 she married actor Michael Douglas. She gave birth to their son Dylan Michael in August 2000.</strong></em><a href="http://groundreport.com/articles.php?id=2834145"></a>

	<p>Orange, Smelly Snow Falling in Russia......</p>
	<p>    A group of chemical experts have flown in to that part of Russia to find out why smelly, coloured snow has been falling over several towns in the Siberian region.</p>
	<p>     Chemical tests were under way to determine the cause, they said.</p>
	<p>    Residents have been advised not to use the snow for household tasks or let animals graze on it.</p>
	<p> Oily yellow and orange snowflakes fell over an area of more than 1,500sq km (570sq miles) in the Omsk region on Wednesday, Russian officials said.</p>
	<p>    &#8220;So far we cannot explain the snow, which is oily to the touch and has a pronounced rotten smell,&#8221; said Omsk environmental prosecutor Anton German.........

Lena Headey is a British actress of theatre and film who is best known for her appearances in The Brothers Grimm (2005), Possession (2002), and The Remains of the Day (1993). Headey is starring as Queen Gorgo, heroic Spartan woman in the period drama 300 (2006), by director Zack Snyder.</p>
	<p>She was born Lena Headey on October 3, 1973, in Bermuda, where her father, a Yorkshire police cadet, was sent shortly before she was born. She was raised in Bermuda living on the ocean, until she was 5. Back in England, she was brought up in Yorkshire, before moving to London in her teens. Headey had not gone to drama school before she became an actress. At the age of 17, Headey&#8217;s performance in a one-off show in the company of six school friends caught the attention of a casting agent, who took a photo and asked her to audition. Eventually, Headey was cast in Waterland (1992), which became her big-screen debut. She honed her natural acting talent while filming and also took archery classes and horse training. She also took boxing in clubs in south London, where a former boxer had been teaching her to spar. During her film career, spanning over 15 years, Headey showed her range in a variety of roles, playing characters from Amazon-type warriors and action-minded women in The Cave (2005) and The Brothers Grimm (2005), to a lesbian lover in Imagine Me &#038; You (2005).</p>
	<p>Headey&#8217;s film career took her all over the world. She was in India for the filming of The Jungle Book (1994), then in St. Petersburg, Russia, for filming Onegin (1999), and in Norway for filming of Aberdeen (2000). In 2005 Headey was filming in Romania and in Mexico, then spent four months in Prague, Czech Republic, where a forest was designed and built for filming The Brothers Grimm (2005), with Matt Damon and Heath Ledger. During 2006 Headey was in Canada for the filming of 300 (2006), then went to locations in Bulgaria for shooting The Contractor (2007) (V), then she went to locations in Germany and in Czech Republic for filming Rote Baron, Der (2007). She is also billed as Norina in the upcoming biopic Vivaldi (2008).</p>
	<p>Outside of her acting profession, Lena Headey continues taking her boxing lessons in London. She is a vegetarian, and also remains loyal to yoga, which she discovered during her work in India. Headey has never been back to her birthplace in Bermuda, she is currently residing in London, England.<br />

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[	<p><!--more--><strong>Burn Fat in 1 Week</strong><br />
<img src="http://www.instablogs.com/media/2007/06/yoga_5476.jpg" alt="yoga_5476" /></p>
	<p>Yoga , we all know that yoga is one of the oldest and most renowned form of heeling and maintaining the god&#8217;s biggest treasure &#8216; BODY &#8216; . The word yoga means &#8220;union&#8221; in Sanskrit, the language of ancient India where yoga originated. We can think of the union occurring between the mind, body and spirit. What is commonly referred to as &#8220;yoga&#8221; can be more accurately described by the Sanskrit word asana, which refers to the practice of physical postures or poses.<br />
Asana is only one of the eight &#8220;limbs&#8221; of yoga, the majority of which are more concerned with mental and spiritual well being than physical activity. In the West, however, the words asana and yoga are often used interchangeably.<br />
 Now without wasting too much time on making you understand the types and evolution and the people who made this come true.</p>
	<p> I would tell you how to burn fat With in 1 week : </p>
	<p>1. We all eat different types of meals and the amount we take increases as we grow old.<br />
2. When we are young we are more restless and do more body activities.<br />
3. Body receives same or more amount of food as we grow.<br />
4.Body activities decreases over the period of time.<br />
5.And that&#8217;s how fat comes into existence, when activities decreases.<br />
6.Therefore, body demands more physical activities to burn the food or intakes that we take.</p>
	<p>Yoga Asanas ( poses or postures) to burn fat:</p>
	<p>a. Relax your mind and body, sit in a peaceful room , shut all your<br />
Mobile phones, computers, music systems, etc.</p>
	<p>b.In your room light should be dim, air should come, fans and ac s should be closed. Cloths should be comfortable and light in color. And your body should be clean and free of chemicals.</p>
	<p>c. Now sit Hamm.....    Ohmmmmmmmmm...............<br />
close your eyes and imagine that you are in a world where everything is positive, birds are singing, river is flowing, you are hearing all the sounds of birds , rivers, mountains and you are at a place which is full of nature.</p>
	<p>1.<br />
Posture:<br />
Sirsha-asana - The Head-stand	 </p>
	<p>Translation:<br />
The Sanskrit word sirsha means head. This posture is the well-known headstand posture, and perhaps second only to the padma-asana or lotus posture, is widely identified with the practice of Yoga. 	 </p>
	<p>	The headstand or sirsha-asana is perhaps the most well-known Yoga posture. Its benefits are many and is fully deserving of all its notoriety. Its physical and mental benefits derive both from emphasis on balance and the body&#8217;s inverted position. Before attempting the sirsha-asana beginners to Yoga should wait until they have mastered some of the more basic postures. Go to posture </p>
	<p>2.<br />
Posture:<br />
Nataraja-asana -<br />
The King of the Dance Pose	 </p>
	<p>Translation:<br />
The Sanskrit word nata means dancer and raja means king. Nataraja is another name for Shiva, the Lord of the Dance, whose cosmic dance is the creation and destruction of the world.	 </p>
	<p>	Deeply symbolic and yet immediately accessible, the Nataraja-asana can play an important role in your Yoga practice. It enhances balance, stretches the upper body, and allows you to participate consciously in the ever-unfolding dance of life. Enter into the posture slowly with a sense of power and grace. The perfect morning pose, do it facing the sun! Get step-by-step instructions and read about its benefits. Go to posture <a href="http://www.amazon.com"></p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[	<p><strong>BIOGRAPHY</p>
	<p>	<img src="http://www.instablogs.com/media/2007/06/khh_5476.jpg" align="right" alt="khh_5476" /></p>
	<p>		<img src="http://www.instablogs.com/media/2007/06/jl_5476.jpg" align="right" alt="jl_5476" /></p>
	<p>On a not unusual day in the early 90&#8217;s, the Trevor Day School cafeteria was busy feeding a mixture of children and teachers, but on this seemingly normal day there happened to be a casting director with a sharp eye for talent among the mix. Though unbeknownst to anyone, this casting director was about to spark a change in a young girls life.</p>
	<p>Leelee Sobieski was just a preteen, but she held a vision - instilled in her by her artistic parents - of what she thought she&#8217;d become. Like many her age, she could recite a long list of possible career choices, and those in the top running were following in her parents footsteps. Her dream was to be a writer like Elizabeth, her mom, or a painter like Jean, her father. However when the casting director approached her in her New York City school, Leelee became curious about acting.</p>
	<p>&#8220;They asked me to come into the casting director&#8217;s office and meet with them,&#8221; Leelee says. &#8220;I was absolutely awful. I didn&#8217;t do a very good job. But that&#8217;s not important. I thought: &#8216;Well, that&#8217;s kind of strange and I really sucked but it is kind of amusing that, out of the blue, I get asked to do this when it&#8217;s the last thing I expected, so I might as well give it a try.&#8217; And that was kind of my approach. If, all of a sudden, something changes in one direction, I&#8217;ll give it a try. And then, if it works, go for it. If not, then change to another direction. Then I took some acting lessons and started to like it more and more.&#8221;</p>
	<p>Before long Leelee was getting parts in commercials and guesting in TV shows. What started as a fun curiosity, was becoming a new creative outlet, and was starting to change her life.</p>
	<p>The Background</p>
	<p>	Leelee with her parents 	</p>
	<p>Leelee was born in New York City as Liliane Rudabet Gloria Elsveta Sobieski on June 10, 1983. Her birth name is rich with her French and Polish heritage. &#8220;Liliane is the name of my father&#8217;s mother,&#8221; says Leelee. &#8220;It was a little too serious and formal for a little girl. So they called me Leelee. Elsveta comes from my mother&#8217;s side of the family. It&#8217;s Elizabeth in Polish.&#8221;</p>
	<p>Leelee grew up in New York City&#8217;s Upper West Side, and spent time in France with her father&#8217;s family. &#8220;We were never very wealthy,&#8221; she says &#8220;but we had the luxury of going to Haagen-Dazs and getting ice cream. Those little, childish, sweet luxuries.&#8221;</p>
	<p>	Young Leelee 	</p>
	<p>Besides ice cream, her parents helped her and her brother Roby (born 1989) to appreciate the culture that surrounded them. At a very young age Leelee went to art galleries and attended Shakespearean plays. &#8220;My parents are my best friends,&#8221; says Leelee. &#8220;They kept me very protected, so I couldn&#8217;t get hurt physically or emotionally by anybody.&#8221;</p>
	<p>The Sobieski family is a direct descendant of Polish royalty. &#8220;Many generations back,&#8221; says Leelee, &#8220;there was a king in Poland and he was my great great great great Uncle. The Bagel was [invented] for him. A Jewish baker made it for him, in the shape of a saddle.&#8221;</p>
	<p>The Rap Sheet</p>
	<p>	&#8220;A Soldier&#8217;s Daughter Never Cries&#8221; (1998) 	</p>
	<p>As Leelee&#8217;s acting ability increased she was seen more and more on TV. She racked up appearances on &#8220;Grace Under Fire&#8221; and the TV movies &#8220;Reunion&#8221; and &#8220;A Horse For Danny&#8221;. Her feature film debut occurred in 1997, when she appeared in Disney&#8217;s &#8220;Jungle 2 Jungle&#8221; with Tim Allen and Martin Short.</p>
	<p>In 1998 Leelee&#8217;s career was taken to new heights by two films. She played Channe Willis, In the independent Merchant-Ivory production of &#8220;A Soldier&#8217;s Daughter Never Cries&#8221;. The film won her critical acclaim and boosted her stardom among art-house patrons. In sharp contrast to the limited release of &#8220;A Soldier&#8217;s Daughter Never Cries&#8221;, the blockbuster film &#8220;Deep Impact&#8221; brought Leelee&#8217;s likeness to the mainstream audience.</p>
	<p>	&#8220;Joan of Arc&#8221; (1999) 	</p>
	<p>1999 proved to be a banner year for Leelee. She received an Emmy and Golden Globe nomination for her role as Joan in the CBS miniseries &#8220;Joan Of Arc&#8221;. She costarred in &#8220;Never Been Kissed&#8221; with Drew Barrymore; turning down the role of the popular girl to play the more interesting math nerd. 1999 also saw the much anticipated release of the late Stanley Kubrick&#8217;s &#8220;Eyes Wide Shut&#8221;. Leelee appeared opposite Tom Cruise in the role she acted for Kubrick when she was just 14.</p>
	<p>Is it better to love and lose or never to have loved at all? Leelee Sobieski and Chris Klein are trying to answer that age-old question in the romantic movie &#8220;Here on Earth.&#8221; The movie stars Chris Klein as a private-schooled rich kid whose run-in with a town local named Jasper (Josh Hartnett) results in disaster, placing both young men under the same roof for the summer. A love triangle soon forms with Jasper&#8217;s girlfriend, Samantha (Leelee Sobieski), and the intersection brings discovery, tragedy and hope.</p>
	<p>	&#8220;Joy Ride&#8221; (2001) 	</p>
	<p>Autumn of 2001 definitely was &#8220;The Autumn of Leelee Sobieski&#8221;. First up was Columbia Pictures release of the expertly crafted thriller &#8220;The Glass House&#8221;, in which Leelee co-stars with Diane Lane and Stellan Skaarsgard. On the heels of &#8220;The Glass House&#8221; was the October 5th Fox release of director John Dahl&#8217;s downright terrifying &#8220;Joy Ride&#8221;, co-starring Paul Walker and Steve Zahn. November was a Leelee double-header month: on the 2nd Paramount Classics released the poignant &#8220;My First Mister&#8221;, a Christine Lahti-directed film starring Sobieski as a young goth girl who befriends mall shop owner Albert Brooks; and finally, Jon Avnet-directed NBC mini-series &#8220;Uprising.&#8221;</p>
	<p>	&#8220;L&#8217;idole&#8221; (2002) 	</p>
	<p>One year later Leelee has returned onscreen with two european films - &#8220;L&#8217;idole&#8221; and &#8220;Max&#8221;. &#8220;In &#8220;L&#8217;idole&#8221; I play an actress... I play a young Australian girl living in Paris and she is the understudy in a play. I&#8217;m having an affair with the lead actor of the play. The person I&#8217;m the understudy for is married to the lead actor. I don&#8217;t like her. Her name is Sylvie Martin and my character is obsessed with this. And she&#8217;s living in this apartment. There&#8217;s this old Chinese man who&#8217;s like 74 who&#8217;s her next door neighbour and they kind of become best friends. It&#8217;s directed by Samantha Lang, who&#8217;s this young Australian director who did &#8220;The Well.&#8221;</p>
	<p>The &#8220;Max&#8221; is about Max Rothman (John Cusack), who has returned from the Great War. He&#8217;s a promising artist whose career as a painter is over, as a result of losing an arm in battle. Max opens a cutting edge gallery where he sells the work of artists like Max Ernst, Paul Klee and George Grosz. He has a beautiful ballet dancer wife, perfect children, wealthy parents, and a talented and passionate mistress (Leelee Sobieski). Then he meets a fellow war veteran and aspiring artist called Adolf Hitler.</p>
	<p>&#8220;Les Liaisons Dangereuses&#8221; (2003) 	</p>
	<p>In the beginning on 2002 it was announced that Catherine Deneuve, Rupert Everett and Leelee Sobieski will star in the French miniseries &#8220;Les Liaisons Dangereuses&#8221; (Dangerous Liaisons), based on Choderlos de Laclos&#8217; classic 18th century novel. French helmer Josee Dayan will direct. In &#8220;Liaisons,&#8221; adapted by Eric-Emmanuel Schmitt, we will see Sobieski portray Cecile Volanges, an innocent young girl who becomes a pawn and later a participant in the Machiavellian sexual games of her elders, Madame de Merteuil (Deneuve) and Valmont (Everett).</p>
	<p>The Present And Beyond</p>
	<p>Leelee currently studies at Brown, Providence. &#8220;It&#8217;s really nice. I&#8217;m living in a dorm room and I&#8217;ve got a roommate. I didn&#8217;t know her until I got to the school and she&#8217;s really nice... I&#8217;m happy to get away from actors. That doesn&#8217;t sound right. It&#8217;s nice to be with &#8220;real&#8221; people... It&#8217;s nice to get away from the film industry. It&#8217;s very exciting but it&#8217;s also kind of a fake place and it is &#8220;la-la land&#8221;. It is Hollywood but college isn&#8217;t a real environment either. It&#8217;s like a bubble but to be in a different bubble is nice. &#8221;<br />

	<blockquote><p>
When Leelee&#8217;s busy life gives her a short break she enjoys the diversions of painting, writing poetry, and collecting key chains and locks of hair from her costars.</p>
	<p>	&#8220;Craig Kilborn Show&#8221; (12/26/2002) 	</p>
	<p>The 5&#8242; 10&#8243; blue eyed young woman has achieved more in her years than some actresses do in a lifetime, but traveling at a pace that would make Richard Petty proud is just what Leelee intends to keep doing. Among her future goals remain her originals. She still wants to paint and write, but she adds to her ambitions to be a screenwriter and a director. She says, &#8220;[In 25 years] I&#8217;ll be married, I&#8217;ll have 2 kids - boy and a girl. I will have directed five movies, if not more. I will have had many expositions. I will be with my kids all the time. I will travel a lot. I won&#8217;t be acting as much as I am now - maybe just one movie a year. I&#8217;ll be creating; I don&#8217;t know what, maybe designing chairs or something!&#8221;</p>
