. U.S. President McKinley Dies of Infection  On this day in 1901, U.S. President William McKinley dies after being shot by a deranged anarchist during the Pan-American Exposition in Buffalo, New York. McKinley won his first Congressional seat at the age of 34 and spent 14 years in the House, becoming known as the leading Republican expert on tariffs. After losing his seat in 1890, McKinley served two terms as governor of Ohio. By 1896, he had emerged as the leading Republican candidate for president, aided by the support of the wealthy Ohio industrialist Mark Hanna. That fall, McKinley defeated his Democratic rival, William Jennings Bryan, by the largest popular margin since the Civil War. As president, McKinley became known--controversially--as a protector of big businesses, which enjoyed unprecedented growth during his administration. He advocated the protective ta...

. Altogether a Good Movie to Watch!!! Released On : Sep 10, 2010 Director(s) : Abhinav Kashyap Starring : Salman Khan, Om Puri, Anupam Kher, Dimple Kapadia, Vindo Khanna, Mahesh Manjrekar, Arbaaz Khan, Sonu Sood, Mahi Gill. Debutante director Abhinav Kashyap has clearly tried to cash in on the success of WANTED. It's been a while since we've seen a total ' paisa wasool ' film, which is high on the 'entertainment' value with some ' seeti maar ' dialogues and action. Salman Khan's WANTED (2009) was one such film. This year, Milan Luthria's ONCE UPON A TIME IN MUMBAAI recreated that magic to a great extent. From its promos, DABANGG seemed to be another such film to be added to that list. You enter the cinema hall hoping to see a full-on action film with some dhasu dialogues. Alas, only to be saddened. The story is hackneyed. But then you don't really expect a grea...

Rakhee, Lindsey . Rakhi Sawant Rakhi has been in the news for all the wrong reasons. From 'being kissed' by Mika Singh and slapping her boyfriend on air to getting engaged on national TV and then ceremoniously dumping him too. If not that, it is her skimpy outfits and 'quotable' quotes that make news. We think she meant it when she once said, "I don't need publicity. Publicity needs me." You don't want her to be your role model unless your mantra is 'any publicity is good publicity'. Most of us love to hate her, now you don't want that, do you? Roony, Rahul, Wood Rahul Mahajan Rahul Mahajan has been a wife beater twice over, was found unconscious, unclothed and drugged in a bath-tub with his father's aide, was double/triple dating when on  Big Boss .
