After potraying R+B veteran Ray Charles in hit movie 'Ray',
Jamie Foxx's eyes are now set on another biopic. The actor wants
to play his friend Mike Tyson, and claims no one except him
knows interesting facts about the boxer. "I think the Mike Tyson
story is the most interesting thing. Nobody knows the stuff
that I know, the stuff that I found out. It would blow your
mind," Contactmusic quoted Foxx as saying to film website Moviehole.net.
Foxx, who also wants to star in a movie based on music legend
Marvin Gaye, hopes by talking about a film about the ear-chomping
fighter he will be able to get the idea off the ground. "Mike
Tyson gives you phrases that, if you listen to it, it'll blow
your mind. They (media) said 'Mike, how do you feel?' and he
said, 'I'm happy. I'm more happy now I don't have any money,'
and they said, 'Why, Michael?' 'I don't have to worry about
anything. I'm just here.' And I said, 'That's where you go.
Do the story about that and about how he feels now - after he
looks back on what all happened," he said.

A bowl of rice can rid you of your allergies
(Go

London:
A team of Japnese researchers has found that eating a bowl
of rice could prevent the symptoms of hay fever and other allergic
reactions. During the course of study, the researchers genetically
modified rice so that it produced molecules found in Japanese
cedar pollen - a plant which commonly causes hay fever. According
to New Scientist, for four weeks, the rice was fed to a group
of mice that were allergic to cedar pollen. When they were subsequently
exposed to the pollen, the mice had fewer allergic reactions,
produced fewer allergen-specific antibodies, and sneezed less
than mice fed on unmodified rice or no rice. The researchers
said that the method could lead to allergy vaccines for humans
that are easier and less painful to receive than the current
injected treatments. The new vaccine is plant-based and can
be stored as seeds at room temperature for long periods, said
Fumio Takaiwa at the National Institute of Agrobiological Sciences
in Japan. The method employs a technique called peptide immunotherapy
which only uses specific parts of the allergen protein to produce
a vaccine and so carries a smaller risk of anaphylactic shock.
