Mrs Smith' co-star Angelina Jolie. According to the News

past four years and have been voted the sexiest couple,
have not been talking or spending time with each other since
quite a few months. They have also reportedly appeared at
several public events separately. Brad first met Jolie when
they started shooting for `Mr and Mrs Smith' earlier this
year and stayed in connecting rooms while shooting for the
movie. Pitt's spokesperson had earlier denied the rumours,
"Brad and Jennifer have been through rough times before-but
never anything like this. All their friends are concerned
about whether they can make their marriage work for them
again. At the moment it's not looking good," the report

book, 'Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince,' it will

might die, said that although Potter will survive at least
till the seventh and the last book in the series, one of
his friends will have to go, reports the New York Daily

or Hermoine, his half-human friend Hagrid or the master
wizard, Hogwart principal Dumbeldore. Fans, can however
take heart from the fact that Rowling will also be introducing
a new character in the book, which is the sixth in the series.
"He will survive to book seven, mainly because I don't want
to be strangled by you lot," she said. "But I don't want
to say whether he grows any older than that," the report

Sex
toys more common amongst women in relationships (Go

Washington:
A report published by Chicago's Berman Center states
that that adult women who are already in a relationship
are more likely to use sex toys than others. A random sample
of almost 2,600 women aged 18 to 60 were invited to participate
in the survey. According to the survey forty-four percent
said they currently use a sex toy or had done so in the
past. Most current or past sex toy users were in relationships
and said they did not view the devices as a substitute for
a partner. Women had a "neutral-to-positive" outlook on
sex toy use. After controlling for demographic variables,
"current sex toy users, whether or not in a steady healthy
relationship, were significantly more likely to report a
higher level of desire and interest for sex and less pain
during and following intercourse," the report was quoted
as saying . "However, current and former users who were
not in steady healthy relationships were still less satisfied
with their overall sexual life than their counterparts,"
the report added. The main reason cited for current or past
sex toy use is curiosity, according to the report.

London:
Buckingham Palace has recently installed an electrified
fence to prevent any security blunders and provide more
safety to the royal palace. According to The Sun, engineers
spent five hours welding the new fence in place before the
current was switched on. The fence will temporarily disable
an intruder giving police time to move in and make an arrest,
and is one of several security measures being introduced,
including more armed officers and police dog patrols. Electric
fences could now be put around other royal palaces, including
Windsor Castle. "This is part of a radical change in security,"
the report quoted a police source as saying. "In the wake
of 9/11 a 3ft concrete wall was built around Parliament
to stop attacks. There needs to be a serious review of perimeter
security at the Palace," added Ken Wharfe, ex Scotland Yard
Royal Protection Officer.
