Labor Day 2010

The first Labor Day in the United States was observed on September 5, 1882 in New York City, by the Central Labor Union of New York, the nation’s first integrated major trade union. It became a federal holiday in 1894, when, following the deaths of a number of workers at the hands of the U.S. military and U.S. Marshals during the Pullman Strike, President Grover Cleveland  put reconciliation with the labor movement as a top political priority. Fearing further conflict, legislation making Labor Day a national holiday was rushed through Congress unanimously and signed into law a mere six days after the end of the strike. The September date originally chosen by the CLU of NY and observed by many of the nation’s trade unions for the past several years was selected rather than the more widespread International Workers’ Day because Cleveland was concerned that observance of the latter would stir up negative emotions linked to the Haymarket Affair, for which it had been observed to commemorate. All 50 U.S. states have made Labor Day a state holiday.

Today Americans are celebrating Labor Day because it is the first Monday of September. But most of the people are on duties as they can’t afford such holidays. Last time in 2004 Americans celebrated the day with enthusiasm and complete preparations but after that the economical conditions are not allowing people to enjoy the day as they want.

Its United States federal holiday and they celebrated it first time on 5th September 1882. In 1894 a bill was passed and Labor Day became a federal holiday.

In his Presidential Proclamation marking Labor Day, President Obama said, “Through great innovation and perseverance, our labor force has forged America as a land of limitless possibility and a leader in the global marketplace.  On Labor Day, we honor the enduring values and immeasurable contributions of working men and women today and throughout our history.”

Kendra Wilkinson Exposed Video As Liar

The star of “Kendra” and “Kendra Exposed,” Kendra Wilkinson, is playing fast and loose with the truth, according to a Radar Online investigation report. According to the celebrity gossip website, despite the public veneer Kendra Wilkinson is putting on the sex tape scandal, it is all for show — and for her show, E! Television’s “Kendra.” In the second season’s finale, Kendra rails against the betrayal of her former boyfriend and sex tape video partner, Justin Frye, but what she does not disclose on her reality show is that not only did she know about the tapes, she knowingly made the tapes, tried to market the tapes herself, and received a huge advance from Vivid Entertainment for the sex tape video, “Kendra Exposed,” just released.

She doesn’t use her former boyfriend’s name as she cries out against the unfairness of it all. She cries that he “broke my heart” and “how can u do that when I have a baby?” She also says that she hopes that people “don’t press play” to look at her sex tape (which makes absolutely no sense, considering that the sex tape video has to be bought and downloaded — and why do that if one wasn’t going to “press play” and view it?). Radar Online asserts that Kendra Wilkinson is simply engaging in blatant feigned histrionics.

Back in 2008, Kendra Wilkinson formed a company, Home Run Productions LLC, to handle the sale of her sex tapes, which there seem to be quite a few. That venture failed. Justin Frye, however, was able to get the sex tapes to Vivid Entertainment, who purchased them for a reported $100,000. Kendra Wilkinson then publicly claimed she was doing everything possible to stop the sale and dissemination of the sex tape.

Radar Online notes that legal advisors told them that Kendra Wilkinson had a virtual “slam dunk” case if Vivid had released the tapes without her permission. Her actions belied her public stance. She not only signed off on “Kendra Exposed” (signed legal permission for its sale and distribution) but got a reported $680,000 advance on the tape. It was also reported that she will receive 50% of the profits from sales.

And Justin Frye, the man who originally sold the sex tapes to Vivid, isn’t talking. Radar Online reported that their sources agree that Frye knows Wilkinson is lying about everything but the ex-boyfriend is contract-bound to keep his mouth shut.

Veena Hands Over Proof Of Asif's Links With Bookies To ICC

Pakistani cricketer Mohammad Asif’s ex-girlfriend, actress-model Veena Malik, has handed over “proof” of his alleged links with Indian bookies to an official of the ICC’s Anti-Corruption Unit.

Hasan Raza, who is a top official of the ICC’s Anti-Corruption Unit for South Asia, met Malik at her residence here last evening after she alleged that Asif was involved in match-fixing and she had “ample” proof of this.

“I handed over Asif’s voice recordings with the bookie and some other related information to the ICC official,” Malik told a TV news channel.

“From head to toe, Pakistani players and officials are involved in match-fixing. I had gone with Asif to Bangkok before Pakistan’s tour of Australia. Asif told me he was offered USD 40,000 by an Indian bookie to under-perform in Australia but he demanded USD 200,000.

“The Pakistan Cricket Board had evidence of this but no action was taken against him,” she said.

Asif, his fellow pacer Mohammad Aamir and Test captain Salman Butt are at the center of an alleged ‘spot-fixing’ scandal exposed by British tabloid ‘News of the World’.

Smoke, Drink more, says Russian Minister

Russian Finance Minister Alexei Kudrin is urging his country’s citizens to smoke more cigarettes and drink more alcohol, as indulging those habits can apparently do wonders for the local economy.

Kudrin’s unconventional advice comes just as Russia prepares to raise excise duty on both tobacco and alcohol sales — and higher consumption of both commodities could help lift tax revenues for spending on social services.

“People should understand: Those who drink, those who smoke are doing more to help the state,” Kudrin said, as quoted by the Interfax news agency. “If you smoke a pack of cigarettes, that means you are giving more to help solve social problems such as boosting demographics, developing other social services and upholding birth rates.”

Bollywood Slams A.R Rahman's Games Theme Song

Singers and musicians in Bollywood have come out openly against the Commonwealth Games song composed by well known music director A R Rahman, says a media report.

It took six months and Rs 5 crore to make the song, but AR Rahman’s track is not exactly ‘Waka Waka’ or ‘Maa Tujhe Salaam’, people say .

AR Rahman’s anthem for the Commonwealth Games hasn’t gone down well with both fans and politicians.

While the song’s online popularity is nowhere near that of Shakira’s “Waka Waka”, which he famously claimed his tune would surpass, politicians and Games officials now want the 5 crore-track “recomposed”.

“Swagatham” aka “Jiyo Utho Heyo” which critics say has neither the pace nor the punch of “Waka Waka”, or the rousing quality of “Maa Tujhe Salaam”, has disappointed.

Ever since he posted links to the tracks on his social networking pages, Rahman has been flooded with unsavoury comments. The games committee’s unhappy too.

Vijay kumar Malhotra, BJP leader and board member of the organising committee (OC) claimed, “We expected a better song from Rahman.”

Former sports minister Shahnawaz Hussain, another BJP leader,  said, “I respect Rahman for what he has achieved but the track simply does not excite me. No one in the OC likes it except perhaps Suresh Kalmadi.” Hussain demanded a re-composition after Lalit Bhanot, organising secretary of the games, insisted that people would begin liking “Swagatham” if they keep listening to it. “Either it’s good music or bad. There’s no middle way to evaluate the appeal of a 5 crore track, he can surely re-compose it,” he said.

Lindsay Lohan Thinks Sexism Is Rife In Hollywood

Actress Lindsay Lohan thinks that sexism is rife in Hollywood – because female stars who misbehave are shunned, while their male counterparts keep their deals.

The ‘Mean Girls’ star has seen her career falter over the last few years.

She was engulfed in a series of personal struggles, which culminated in a jail stint this summer (10) for breaching her probation from a 2007 DUI arrest.

Lohan has struggled to land film roles during her troubled times, but she’s convinced that she would have continued working despite her personal problems, if she was male.

“It’s not OK. But they (men who misbehave) still keep their deals, they still keep their contracts, they still keep their roles, they still get their gigs,” the Daily star quoted her as telling Vanity Fair magazine.

Mallika leaves India high and dry

Wary of the Indian media, the actress chooses to give the muhurat of Indra Kumar’s film a miss. Why then is she comfortable making Hollywood appearances?

Though Indra Kumar was happy after Mallika Sherawat agreed to sign Dhamaal 2, he may be in for a rude shock. It seems the actress is not keen on attending the muhurat of the film. She wants to remain as far away as possible from the Indian media.

However, Mallika, who has been away from the Bollywood limelight for some time now, is busy making Hollywood appearances. So, the so-called media-glare doesn’t seem to bother her much.

Meanwhile, Indra Kumar’s film, which Mallika signed after a long gap, is now ready to go on floors. Mallika, who is in LA, will return to India today morning but apparently, she wants to skip the muhurat of the film.

Our source said, “Mallika won’t be attending the muhurat although everyone thinks she will. She was in LA and has already taken a flight back to Mumbai.

Going by her nature, she is not very keen to come to the muhurat because she wants to stay away from the indian media.

The producers Ashok Thackeria and Relliance Big Pictures, tried to reason with her, it is her film after all, but she doesn’t want to attend the muhurat, which will take place at Mehboob Studios.”
