The Washington Redskins cheerleaders were brought in to show India’s cricket fans how to shake their pompoms — but not everyone was impressed.
The New Delhi team said Wednesday it was switching its cheerleaders for a band of drummers. Mumbai politicians have forced theirs to cover up, saying their performances were lewd and not appropriate for India’s traditional culture.
…
The backlash began in Mumbai last week when lawmakers from the Hindu nationalist Bharatiya Janata Party pressed to get cheerleaders banned from the home games of the local team, the Mumbai Indians.
“See the pictures of these girls in the newspapers? This is not something you can allow inside your house, or something that you can look at in the presence of your sister or daughter,” said Nitin Gadkari, the Bharatiya Janata Party’s president for the state of Maharashtra. Mumbai is its capital.
“It may be a good thing for America, for the U.S.A., it’s not a good thing for India, for our kind of culture,” Gadkari said.
Police vowed to keep scantily clad dancers out of public view.
“We will take action,” said Mumbai police officer Ramrao Wagh. “The government has said it will not allow obscenities on the field.” He did not elaborate.
Doctor Martha Jones, I presume? I wanted to visit the UK as it is, now I really feel the need to make it across the pond. Doctor Who is just so much better when she’s on than when she isn’t.

Kardashian revealed her choice for prez at the launch party for Joe Francis’ Girls Gone Wild magazine.
But then Kardashian dropped an even bigger bomb: She had dinner with the Illinois senator!
Candlelight? Followed by a movie? Sadly, no on both accounts; Kardashian quickly explained that their dinner was anything but one-on-one: “It wasn’t just him and I. I was at an event.”
“He just seemed very firm about the change, and that’s, like, his motto,” Kardashian said, probably trying to allude to Obama’s “Change We Can Believe In” campaign slogan.
This is clearly an astute political observer. And at the launch of Girls Gone Wild magazine, no less. Yes, Kim, many of us are firm about the change.
Perk: facetime with supermodels.
“The Washington Redskins Cheerleaders, deemed the ‘First Ladies of Football,’ will be traveling to India on April 10th to create the first ever cheerleading squad in that country for cricket’s Royal Challengers Bangalore, part of the new Indian Premier League (IPL), in their inaugural game on April 18th.”
But of course they are.
More from the release: Twelve cheerleaders, 18 days, four cricket games, a second wave of training and the following claim: “By the time this project is complete, the Redskins Cheerleading department will have spent over 10 weeks creating a new cheerleading world in India.”
A whole new world, folks.
the next you’re cavorting in a bathtub with Claudia Schiffer. Such is the life of Joseph Gordon-Leavitt.
If you’re as tired of this Clinton/Obama/McCain mess as I am, let me make the case for Jessica Alba as our next commander in chief.
1. She’s hot. We’ve never tried “sexy” in a president. Yes, JFK was dashing, but knowing what an attractive woman usually does to a man’s concentration, this would give a President Alba a considerable leg up in negotiations. Imagine what a little black dress could do for mid-east peace negotiations?
2. She has gravitas. Jessica Alba played Susan Storm, one of the Fantastic Four. TWICE. Is there anyone else running for president who has had the cojones to run around in spandex for 3 hours on a giant screeen? The answer is no.
3. She’s a mom-to-be. She’s smoking (see 1) and yet is with child. She’s clearly got family values (though not married to the baby daddy).
4. Tough on terror. Played Max, a super-powered hero on the show Dark Angel. On that show she cracked ribs and beat up baddies, while the writers found one inexplicable reason after another to show her in the skimpiest outfits possible (this is called the Jennifer Garner syndrome). If Jessica can take on late-90s cyber criminals, certainly Hamas or Al Qaeda can be dealt with.
5. See 1.
It’s not the same as a new season of Dr. Who, but the current season of Torchwood has 100% more Freema Agyeman than before, which is part of the recommended dosage.

You know in a horror movie where the pretty girl goes to check out the dark basement and the audience yells “don’t go in there!”. It’s kind of like that.
Actress Jessica Alba, who is pregnant with her first child, is engaged to long-time boyfriend Cash Warren, Alba’s publicist said on Thursday.
Alba, 26, best known for her roles in the TV drama “Dark Angel” and “The Fantastic Four” movies, was pictured over the Christmas holiday with a huge diamond ring on her finger.
Publicist Brad Cafarelli said the couple were engaged but gave no details.
Cash Warren is clearly connected to the trilateral commission and the Bilderbergers as well as the Free Masons. That’s the only way to explain his power.
See, now Jessica Alba is giving cameras the finger. She didn’t do that before. Where’s the exorcist?
Clearly an exorcism is in order.
Jessica Alba is pregnant with boyfriend Cash Warren’s child, her rep tells PEOPLE exclusively.
“I can confirm that Jessica and Cash are expecting a baby in late spring, early summer,” says rep Brad Cafarelli.
Alba, 26, has dated Warren, 28, since the fall of 2004 after they met on the set of The Fantastic Four, on which Warren was a director’s assistant.
Then again, it’s possible Jessica and Cash may be paying a visit to Maury Povich in about 8 months. “Cash, you ARE NOT the father….”
This almost makes me think about watching MTV. Almost. I mean, it’s like they have a portal on a dream I had once…
That Beowulf movie looks like someone drinking the CGI Kool-Aid a little too much. I don’t get the idea of an animated film with characters that look just like real people. On the other hand, you gotta love Angelina Jolie.
Kim Kardashian is going to be in Playboy, but in an era of celebrity sex videos and the like, isn’t that sort of “eh”?
If so, I’m in. Big time. Roaming charges or no.
The biggest splash in the music department is the Samsung limited edition B’Phone, a Beyonce-branded version of the UpStage music phone originally introduced earlier this year. It was unveiled this morning (Oct. 11) at the Samsung store in New York’s Time Warner Building.
The handset features gold-and-burgundy colors designed by Beyonce, a Beyonce-themed startup screen and the ability to download exclusive Beyonce photos, videos and a song she recorded as a child.
"When I was 10, I recorded a song called ‘632-5792′ — a phone number. It’s a little embarrassing but it’s cute. There’s a recording of that song on the phone exclusively for my fans," Beyonce told journalists. "I wanted to make sure people got a feel for who I really am. It’s only through this phone that you can get this close to my life."
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: Damn you, Jay-Z. Damn you.

I’m not sure what this is. But it is something. Yes, something. Something with Gisele Bundchen. Tom Brady’s girlfriend. Because that guy has life really tough, between the starlets, supermodels and Superbowls.
