Salma Hayek turns a party planner

London, :: Salma Hayek turned party planner when the women hired to organise her daughter Valentina’s second birthday bash quit two days before the celebration. "I was terrified. I wanted her (Valentina) to love it and I hired somebody to plan it for me, because it''s my first time and she had gone to some that I was really impressed (by) and I didn't want her to feel that I did a lesser party. She quit two days before the party, once everybody was invited. I have no idea (why)... She left me with nothing,” the Daily Express quoted Hayek as saying.
"And the worst part was I told Valentina that Barney was coming... and she was so excited... I invited the people, she knows the whole programme and I have nothing. “I said, ''I'm gonna do this, I'm taking over... I decorated it myself... I got the tables and the little chairs... All the stuff we cooked in the house

"I tried to get a Barney and they told me, ''No, no, no, that''s illegal... They copyright him and it''s illegal to have a Barney.'' And I''ve already told her (Valentina) and she''s so excited. I''d never do anything illegal but I was so desperate to make her happy that I did try to go into the black market... These are the things you do as a mother."

"Right before, I finally got him and I said, ''Valentina, we got Barney, baby...'' and she goes, ''Oh mama, I don''t like Barney anymore. I want Dora or Elmo...'' We fired the illegal Barney and we got Dora... There are plenty of Elmos and Doras (and) they''re legal," she added.

US drones to target Taliban in Afghan war

Friday, July 31, 2009 WASHINGTON: The US military plans to use more drone aircraft to target Taliban militants in Afghanistan while focusing less on hunting down Al-Qaeda figures, report said on Thursday.Although defeating the Al-Qaeda terror network remains an overriding goal for Washington, officials now believe the best way to pursue that objective is to ensure stability in Afghanistan and neighboring Pakistan instead of Al-Qaeda manhunts, the paper said, citing US government and Defense Department officials.It was more important to prevent a slide towards violence and anarchy that could be exploited by Al-Qaeda, which used Afghanistan to stage its attacks on the United States on September 11, 2001, the officials said."We might still be too focused on Bin Laden," an official said. "We should probably reassess our priorities."The shift in priorities for the drone fleet comes despite President Barack Obama's declaration that defeating and dismantling Al-Qaeda ...
