Singer Enrique Iglesias has finally broken his silence
on his long-term tennis playing girlfriend . "When I'm
with Anna, it's the best time of my life, she is a beautiful

a different era, a different time," Enrique was quoted
as saying by the news.com Enrique said he was closer to
his mother, Isabel Preysler, than his father Julio. At

Atkins
diet now gets a mouth-freshener! (Go
To Top)
New
York: The Atkins diet may give one a killer figure,
but it also gives a odious breath along with it. A number
of treatments have emerged on the Internet to fight the
"ketone breath", a sweetish smell most prominent among
Atkins beginners, and now a dental spa is offering one
too, reports the New York Post. Quickbleach, a cosmetic
dental spa on East 56th Street, is offering a 399 dollars
package that includes a "halimeter" test to measure foul-smelling
VSCs (volatile sulfur compounds) in your mouth and a custom-fitted
tray to wear at night, filled with a gel designed to destroy
VSCs. "It might work," says Dr. Richard Price, spokesman
for the American Dental Association. "Bleaching agents
will help fight bad breath because they are an oxygenating
agent that will kill bacteria. "But before you do anything,"
Price says, "My advice is to floss it, brush it, and scrape
it (your tongue)."
Prince
Harry is not a playboy! (Go

London:
Royal sources have rejected press reports that the
Prince has become something of a playboy. Prince Harry,
who is currently working on community projects in Africa,
will have a second gap year before he begins his military
training. "Gap years are not just about work, they are
also about having fun. Harry is a typical late teenager
who enjoys going out and enjoys going to clubs", an aide
was quoted as saying by Hello. Clarence House has confirmed
that the young royal will enjoy an extra 12 months of
character-forming activities before he enters Sandhurst.
The Prince of Wales feels that his son would find it easier
to integrate if he waits until he is slightly older, since
most first year recruits are university graduates. "There
are plans for Harry to extend his gap period into next
year. That means that when he enters Sandhurst he will
be of a more similar age to the rest of the intake", Charles'
new communications secretary Paddy Harveson was quoted
as saying by the report. It remains to be seen what the
teenager will do during the extra year, but it has been
suggested he might spend some time in Argentina.

Kylie
Minogue 'sees dead people'! (Go

London:
Pop sensation Kylie Minogue has claimed that the late
rocker Michael Hutchence still communicates with her from
beyond the grave. According to a report in the Sun, the
'Body Language' star said that the 'INXS' star returned
from the dead to say hello to her. Kylie, 35, has also
claimed that she has been reincarnated several times and
that she regularly speaks to dead people. The report says
that Kylie's story reminds people of the successful 1999
movie 'The Sixth Sense' in which young star Hailey Joel
Osment tells Bruce Willis, "I see dead people." Kylie
said, "I've had one particularly intense experience that
let me know Michael was still around. Like he had come
to say, 'Hello'." The sexy singer had dated Hutchence
in 1987 but ten years later after falling for tragic TV
host Paula Yates, Hutchence was found dead in a Sydney
hotel room. Kylie said that she feels a stronger bonding
with Hutch now than when he was alive. "Sometimes when
people have passed you feel closer to them," added the
pop diva. Kylie also expressed her opinion on the after-life,
reincarnation, evolution, death, heaven and God. She said,
"I believe I have lived before, but I'm not very advanced
in my series of lives. I'm not even into double figures.
I don't have a visual memory of my past lives, but I believe
I came from somewhere." Kylie has had a string of high-profile
boyfriends. She dated 'Neighbours' co-star Jason Donovan,
photographer Stephane Sednaoui and models Zane O'Donnell
and James Gooding. However, the pop princess has finally
found love again with French actor Olivier Martinez for
whom she wrote a mushy love song and visited Melbourne
to meet his parents.
