‘No frontal nudity for me’ Sherlyn Chopra

Sherlyn Chopra on the cover of Playboy magazine may seem like a far-fetched thought for most, but the item girl claims the international magazine, which has made the who’s who of Hollywood shed their clothes, approached her to be on its cover. “Got a Playboy cover offer. Don’t know what to say,” posted Sherlyn on her Twitter account last week.

Before long, the actress, predictably enough, did a U-turn, explaining why she couldn’t go ahead with the offer. “I guess it’s my Indianness to blame. I adore nudity. It is pure and it projects the subject in its most genuine form. But to do full frontal nudity is something I am not ready for,” she said.

Ironically, the actress had posted a picture of herself in the buff on Twitter only last week. And, in earlier interviews, she even claimed that she would “love to be on the (Playboy) cover and make India proud.”

While Sherlyn’s claim sounds suspicious, to say the least, a close friend of the actress reveals, “It all started when Bob, the chief official Playboy photographer, saw bikini clad images of Sherlyn on the Internet and contacted her for a shoot. But the deal fell apart as they were not offering her a cover.”

In an attempt to verify Chopra’s claims, HT City contacted the Playboy head office in Chicago, but received no confirmation on the matter.

Beauty contestant warns of 'careless sunbathing' after contracting skin cancer aged 24

 

A beauty queen contestant has issued a stark warning against careless sunbathing after revealing she developed skin cancer at the age of just 24.

Amy Hills, a finalist in the Miss York contest taking place this week, topped up her artificial tan at least once a week and refused to use suncream.

But during a routine visit to her doctor she happened to mention that a mole on her left arm had begun to change in appearance.

Amy Hills, of Selby, had a cancerous mole removed in an operation on the same day she took part in the Miss York contest

The dental student was horrified to be told just days later that it was cancerous.

Thankfully an operation last week revealed the cancer had not spread. However, Amy will have to have constant check-ups.

She is speaking out about her ordeal as a warning to other women tempted to take terrible risks in their quest for a golden glow.

Amy, of Selby, North Yorkshire, said: 'Like a lot of other young woman, I wanted  to look good and so would go for a tan about once a week.

'And when I sunbathed, I wouldn't normally use suntan lotion. I thought it  would never happen to me.

'But I noticed that the mole on my arm which I had always had had begun to  change about six months ago. It was darker, raised and had a jagged edge.

'The doctor called in with a colleague to have a look, and they both said it needed  to be removed as a matter of urgency. When the test results came back saying it  was cancer I was in a state of shock.

'The doctors said they were sure it was it was my sunbed sessions and sunbathing without lotion that had led to this.'

Amy underwent surgery last week just hours before she took part in a 'boot  camp' style challenge as part of the build-up to the Miss York contest.

Doctors have told her she needs a check-up every three months for the next five  years to ensure the potentially fatal cancer has not returned.

They also warned her off tanning salons for life and said she should always wear suntan lotion with a protection factor of at least 30 in the sunshine.

She added: 'It's left a dent on my arm which will always be there. They are very hopeful they have removed  everything that is cancerous.

'But if I hadn't been to the doctor about something else, I might have left it  for months more, which could have allowed it to spread further.'

Kendra's tape beats Kardashian’s

 

Kim Kadarshian has been knocked off the top spot, as sales of Kendra Wilkinson's sex tape beat Kadarshian’s.

Wilkinson's sex tape features her with boyfriend Justin Frye, and has become a hit even before its release - with pre-order figures completely overshadowing the raunchy film sold by the model-and-party girl, reports News.com.au.

Both videos have been released through pornographic video company Vivid Entertainment.

While Justin was paid 100,000 dollars for the X-rated movie, Kendra is to receive up to 50 per cent of the profits made from sales.

Wilkinson had initially tried to block the release, but after realizing that she could rake in a lot of moolah, she entered into negotiations with the video company.

The 24-year-old star, who is married to American footballer Hank Basket and has a five-month-old son Hank Baskett IV with him, started dating Justin in high school, but split from him shortly before she embarked on a relationship with Hugh Hefner and moved into the Playboy Mansion.

Mobile phone number 0888 888 888 suspended after every user assigned to it DIES

 

A girl checks her mobile phone (file photo). Bulgarian phone bosses have suspended the number 0888 888 888 after every user assigned to it died

Spooked phone bosses have suspended the mobile phone number 0888 888 888 - after every single person assigned to it died in the last 10 years.

The first owner, Vladimir Grashnov - the former CEO of Bulgarian mobile phone company Mobitel, which issued the number - died of cancer in 2001 aged just 48.

Despite a spotless business record there were persistent rumours that his cancer had been caused by a business rival using radioactive poisoning.

The jinxed number then passed to Bulgarian mafia boss Konstantin Dimitrov.

He was gunned down in 2003 by a lone assassin in the Netherlands during a trip to inspect his £500million drug-smuggling empire.

Dimitrov, who died aged 31, had the mobile with him when he was shot while eating out with a beautiful model.

Russian mafia bosses - jealous of his drug-smuggling operation - were said to have been behind the killing.

The phone number then passed to crooked businessman Konstantin Dishliev.

He was gunned down outside an Indian restaurant in Bulgaria's capital Sofia in 2005, after taking over the jinxed line.

Estate agent Dishliev had secretly been running a massive cocaine trafficking operation before his assassination.

He died after £130million of the drug was intercepted by police on its way into the country from Colombia.

Since then, the number is understood to have been dormant while police maintained an open file on Dishliev's killing and his smuggling ring.

Now spooked phone bosses are said to have suspended the number, which from an international line is +359 888 888 888, for good.

Callers now get a recorded message saying the phone is 'outside network coverage'.

A Mobitel spokesman would only say: 'We have no comment to make. We won't discuss individual numbers.'

U.S. boy, 13, becomes youngest person to conquer Everest

 

A 13-year-old American boy today became the youngest climber to reach the top of Mount Everest, surpassing the previous record set by a 16-year-old Nepalese.

Jordan Romero called his mother by satellite phone from the summit of the world's highest mountain, 29,035ft above sea level. He is now one climb away from his quest to conquer the highest peaks on all seven continents.

'He says, "Mom, I'm calling you from the top of the world,"' said Leigh Anne Drake from California, where she had watched her son's progress on a GPS tracker online.

Jordan Romero poses with his father and stepmother at a hotel in Kathmandu last month. The 13-year-old American boy today became the youngest climber to successfully scale Everest

Steep: Mount Everest is 29,035ft high and has claimed many lives

'There were lots of tears and 'I love you! I love you!"' Drake said. "I just told him to get his butt back home."

The teenager with long curly hair - who climbed Mount Kilimanjaro in Africa when he was nine years old - says he was inspired by a painting in his school hallway of the seven continents' highest summits.

"Every step I take is finally toward the biggest goal of my life, to stand on top of the world," Jordan said earlier on his blog.

The former record for the youngest climber to scale Everest had been held by Temba Tsheri of Nepal. He reached the peak at age 16.

Also today, officials said a Nepalese Sherpa who lives in the Salt Lake City suburb of Draper broke his own world record by climbing Everest for the 20th time.

Apa, who goes by one name, went up with fellow climbers on a mission also to collect garbage, a growing environmental problem on the mountain.

Mountaineering Department official Tilak Pandey said several climbers took advantage of Saturday's clear weather to reach the summit.

Jordan's climbing team reached the peak hours earlier than expected.

"The first thing, they all hugged each other and said, 'I love you, I can't believe we're finally here' and started crying," said Rob Bailey.

Jordan, from Big Bear, California, was climbing Everest with his father and three Sherpa guides. He left for the peak from the base camp on the Chinese side.

Everest was his first challenge above 26,240ft.

Unlike neighbouring Nepal, the other approach to Everest, China has no age limit for climbers. Jordan registered with Chinese officials in April, said Zhang Mingxing, secretary general of China Tibet Mountaineering Association.

No interview with Jordan would be possible until he returns to advance base camp, which could take a couple of days, Bailey said. Climbers stay overnight at three or four camps before the summit, depending on their route and pace.

Jordan carried a number of good luck charms, including a pair of kangaroo testicles given to him by a friend who has cancer.

"That's the one that probably meant the most," Bailey said.

At the summit, Jordan left behind his lucky rabbit's foot and planted some seeds that a Buddhist monk at a local monastery had given him for luck on his journey, Bailey said.

Then he took the satellite phone and called his mom.

Jordan continues the recent trend of young adventurers.

Earlier this month, 16-year-old Australian Jessica Watson became the youngest person to sail around the globe solo, nonstop and unassisted. Thousands lined Sydney Harbor to cheer as she cruised past the finish line in her pink yacht.

A Dutch court late last year blocked an even younger sailor, 14-year-old sailor Laura Dekker, from pursuing a similar round-the-world voyage, ordering her to prepare more and wait at least until this year before starting.

And in January, 17-year-old Johnny Collinson of Utah became the youngest person to climb the highest peaks on all seven continents.

Just one mountain remains in Jordan's own quest to climb those peaks, the Vinson Massif in Antarctica.

Jordan's team leaves for Antarctica in December, Bailey said.

"A piece of cake," his mother said
