Goldie Hawn at 67 still looking simply amazing beauty

Goldie Hawn at 67 :  Goldie Hawn looks are hard to believe that she looks simply amazing beauty and  her daughter Kate Hudson turned 34 recently. But Goldie Hawn showed that she's a sprightly 67 years young as she went on a rigorous bike ride through the Los Angeles neighborhood of Brentwood on earlier Sunday. The effervescent Laugh-In star looked alive as she carried on with her ride, smiling as she pushed her mountain bike around some tight curves. Staying in shape: Goldie showed off her toned arms and thin legs while riding her bicycle in Brentwood, Los Angeles on Sunday. She put her hard-worked body on display in a psychedelic tie-dyed black and white vest top and coordinated leggings and trainers. And of course Goldie took all safety precautions on her invigorating ride, gripping her brakes with a pair of open-fingered gloves. She also tucked her hair away from her face under a cool helmet. Not tagging along was her 62-year-old beau Kurt Russell. Working up a sweat: The Pri

The anti-fat campaign is just fat-headed

7 View comments Contradictory: Either we're all going to turn into great fat, cancerous, diabetic slugs or we're all going to live for longer and longer Help! Help! Half of all British men are going to be obese by 2040! They’re all going to have heart attacks, diabetes and cancer! !t’s going to cost the NHS £320bn … And we’re all DOOMED!! That, in a nutshell is a summary of the latest bout of health hysteria to be launched in our direction. Tim Marsh of the National Heart Forum has just revealed these terrifying (he hopes) statistics at a European Congress on Obesity. And it’s nonsense. Now, I’m not disputing that there are a lot of fat blokes around, and fat women, too, come to that. They waddle round supermarkets, dragging their chubby children behind them. They sit in airport departure lounges,  overflowing the skimpy plastic chairs, while other, thinner passengers utter a silent prayer: ‘Dear Lord, don’t give me the seat next to the man-mountain over there.’

Memo to cyclists: the rules apply to you, too

0 shares 39 View comments Cyclists are the LibDems of the road: self-righteous, irritating, appallingly dressed and loathed by everyone else. Now the car versus bike hate-a-thon is about to take yet another turn for the worse. For it has just been revealed that six out of ten cyclists admit to jumping red lights. Not coincidentally, road rage incidents involving cyclists are also on the rise. So it’s an odds-on bet that even as I write these words, pro-cycle lobbyists are frantically pedalling to TV and radio studios to argue the case for bikes and against those evil, smelly, CO2-producing cars. Now, before we go any further let me say that I’ve got nothing against bicycles. When I was younger, fitter and didn’t have a driving license, I used to zoom round London on the battered black bike that had seen me through university. Then I took one stupid risk too many, came off it in the middle of Fulham Broadway and ended up under the wheels of a double-decker bus. The dri

Say what you like about the French, but they have the world's finest political crumpet

14 View comments It’s not easy being French. Steeped as they are in the myth of La Belle France’s effortless superiority, they have to cope with the fact that one of their near-neighbours conquered them and the other liberated them. And they’ve never quite got over either experience. The fact that the world speaks English, for example, gnaws at the French soul like a plague of rats. On Saturday, every other nation in the Eurovision Song Contest will return its votes in English, to Azerbaijani hosts who will also be speaking our mother tongue. The French, however, would rather die than submit to such indignity and so will insist both on speaking French and being addressed in it, too. That will not of course alter the fact that English is the global language of politics, business, science, aviation and popular culture. But it will, just for a moment ease the pain.

BBC Diamond Jubilee coverage: Why I hate the snobbery and elitism of the 'anti-elitist' BBC

37 View comments Do you think you’re thick? Are you so completely incapable of having a single serious thought in your head that you switch off the TV the moment someone says something intelligent, knowledgeable or genuinely informative? Come to think of it, are these sentences, y’know, just a little bit too complicated to handle? No, I didn’t think so. But then, I don’t work for the BBC. So I’ve spent the past thirty years believing that if I write in clear, straightforward, grown-up English prose then readers of all ages, classes, genders and races will have no trouble understanding me. They may not agree. They may not be remotely interested. But they’ll get it. Criticism: Fearne Cotton addressed a war veteran called John as Jim during one interview on Sunday during the BBC's Jubilee coverage Repercussions: BBC veteran Peter Sissons said the number of complaints was 'very serious' and bosses should have a 'serious rethink' about the presentin

Jumper kills 5-year-old As Suicide Jump Off Building Took Tragic turn

Jumper kills 5-year-old : As the Tragic event took place in when a man Jump off building to Suicide. Reports suggests that a 5-year-old South Korean girl was killed when a man who jumped from his 11th floor apartment and landed on top of her, police said. The incident took place Wednesday in Busan, a port city in the southern part of the country. A police official said the 39-year-old man died immediately after he jumped Wednesday from the 11th floor of the building in the southeastern port city of Busan. The girl died later from brain damage and broken bones. The official who spoke Friday declined to be named because the case is still under investigation. The official says it’s unclear why the man jumped. He says witnesses saw the man jumping but there was no suicide note. South Korea has one of the highest suicide rates among economically advanced countries.

Why I¿m going into battle with Google to find out if it stole my family¿s secrets

0 shares 31 View comments One sunny day, a Google camera car drove past my house in West Sussex, taking photos for its Street View project. It snapped my garden wall, my front gate, my garden and several angles of the house itself. Those clever people at Google didn’t ask me if I wanted them to do this. They didn’t ask anybody. They’re Google. They do whatever they like. When the pictures went online, they provided any would-be burglar with a handy guide to the best ways into my home. What I did not realise until very recently, however, is that the first ‘burglar’ to benefit could have been Google itself. Taking more than pictures: A Google street-mapping car in Bristol Many civil rights campaigners have warned that people are in the dark about how Google's new privacy policy could affect them For the very same system that collected all the photographic data was also acting as a high-tech bugging device, potentially harvesting data from my family’s comp
