British actress Kate Winslet marries for third time

Oscar-winner Kate Winslet has taken another trip down the aisle, this time tying the knot with Ned Rock’nRoll, the nephew of British tycoon Richard Branson.

Winslet’s publicist Sara Keene confirmed the wedding to ABC News early Thursday morning.

“I can confirm that Kate Winslet married Ned Rock’nRoll in NY earlier this month in a private ceremony attended by her two children and a very few friends and family,” the rep told People. “The couple had been engaged since the summer.”

“Titanic” co-star Leonardo DiCaprio walked Winslet down the aisle in the secret ceremony, according to the U.K.’s Daily Mail.

Ex-U.S. President George H.W. Bush in intensive care

(Reuters) - Former President George H.W. Bush, who led a coalition that ejected Iraqi forces from Kuwait in 1991, is in intensive care at a Houston hospital in "guarded condition," family spokesman Jim McGrath said Wednesday.

The 88-year-old was admitted to hospital November 23 for bronchitis.

"The president is alert and conversing with medical staff, and is surrounded by family," McGrath said in a statement.

"Following a series of setbacks including a persistent fever, President Bush was admitted to the intensive care unit at Methodist Hospital on Sunday where he remains in guarded condition," McGrath said. "Doctors at Methodist continue to be cautiously optimistic about the current course of treatment."

End Of The World 2012: Live Updates On The Mayan Apocalypse

As Dec. 21, 2012 fast approaches, doomsday-believers around the globe are bracing for what they believe will be the end of the world.

A Chinese inventor built "survival pods" to help him through the mayhem. A contractor developed underground bunkers to safeguard their Italian owners. And fare finder website Skyscanner reports its customers are showing an increasing interest in one-way tickets to "Apocalypse safe havens."

According to NASA, many Apocalypse fears originate in the belief that Niberiu, a planet allegedly discovered by the Sumerians, would hit planet Earth in May 2003. When the world did not perish, however, new claims were put forward that Nibiru would hit earth on Dec. 21, 2012 -- the day the Mayan long-count calendar ends.

NASA has gone out of its way to rebuke the doomsday fears, arguing "the world will not end in 2012. Our planet has been getting along just fine for more than 4 billion years, and credible scientists worldwide know of no threat associated with 2012."

Several governments, too, have reassured their citizens that the Apocalypse is nowhere near. According to a New York Times report, Russia's minister of emergency situations Vladimir Puchkov reassured the country's citizens on Friday he is sure the world will not end in December and that "he had access to methods of monitoring what is occurring on the planet Earth.” And the Vatican's top astronomer Rev. Jose Funes wrote in the Vatican's newspaper L'Osservatore Romano that the doomsday predictions are "not even worth discussing."

Ailing Nollywood actress, Ngozi Nwosu, seeks N6m –Cries, ‘I don’t have AIDS’

A few months back, when hush-hush tales that the actress had contracted HIV/AIDS and cancer of the blood — said to be responsible for her frail looking — surfaced online, the once lively Nwosu kept mum and subsequently went underground. Many found it difficult to get the true picture.

It was not until Saturday December 15, 2012 when she appeared as a guest contestant on the popular TV game show — her first public outing since she fell ill – that her frail appearance caught the attention of many.

The actress was a recipient of the N1m that was won on the show to  aid her treatment and was assisted by entertainment journalist, Seun Oloketuyi, and fellow thespian Lillian Amah.

Narrating his encounter with her on the set of the programme, Oloketuyi said, “One of the first signs that things were no longer right with Ngozi was the fact that we had to delay recording because while everybody else was virtually fanning themselves due to the studio lights, Ngozi was shivering from cold, so much that the producers had to get her cardigans. I was flustered. When the programme eventually got underway, Ngozi still helped to answer some questions.”
