Aishwarya Rai Pays Tribute to Nelson Mandela

As the world mourned Nelson Mandela, another celebrity took their time to pay tribute to the late South African icon.

Bollywood actress Aishwarya Rai posted a touching Facebook photo, which exhibited the former beauty queen shaking hands with the late anti-apartheid leader during the Miss World pageant (which she won) in 1994 which was held in South Africa that year.

The 40-year-old wrote about her experience meeting the late President in an article for the non-profit Beauty With a Purpose: "And what more could one ask for than an audience with President Mandela himself, a man deservedly admired and respected the world over for his contributions towards humanity."

World leaders paid their respects to Mandela in South Africa including U.S. President Barack Obama, Cuban President Raúl Castro (who shook Obama's hand in a historic moment) and former US President George W Bush.

Family Funeral Planned For Paul Walker - ‘Fast & Furious’ Crew Invited

On Dec. 10, Paul’s family made arrangements for his funeral at Forest Lawn Memorial Park. The cemetery picked up Paul’s remains on Dec. 9 after his autopsy last week, a source at the Los Angeles County Coroner told the paper.

“All of the funeral details are still being worked out,” but a service is being planned for this weekend. The insider adds that Paul’s 15-year-old daughter, Meadow Walker, is doing “as well as can be expected. She is a little lost right now and is spending a lot of time with her close friends.”

We hope that Paul’s daughter and the rest of his family will find some peace once they lastly lay him to rest. Sources connected with Paul's family tell that their biggest concern is Paul's 15-year-old daughter Meadow, who is reasonably having a difficult time. They don't want a bunch of strangers surrounding the girl, because she needs to feel comfortable to grieve.

So the funeral will be by invitation only, and Paul felt the folks on the "Fast & Furious" cast and crew were close relatives. He was with them a lot and bonded with most of them.

The Hot Katrina Kaif is featured on the cover of Vogue India for the month of December 2013. Like always, Katrina manages to look stunning in almost every outfit she wears.

2013 has been a rather sluggish year for Katrina Kaif who, it seems, was left trailing far behind Bollywood's golden girl of the moment, Deepika Padukone.

Carving out time for pleasure may have seemed to put Katrina's career on the backburner. But a photoshoot for Vogue has given her accurately the shot in the arm that she needs at exactly the time that she needs it.

Texas Life-Size Gingerbread House Sets New Guinness Record

The world’s largest gingerbread house has been erected on Texas A&M Traditions Club grounds, in Bryan, Texas. The 39,201.8 cubic-foot house set a Guinness World Record this year, and is helping raise funds for a local trauma center. It measures 60 feet by 42 feet and its tallest point rises 20.11 feet.

The idea for the house first came to Bill Horton, managing director of the Traditions Club, in September 2012. He was watching a Food Network special on gingerbread houses at the time. At first he thought he could get the house done by November, but soon understood that it would take a lot more work. That’s when the project got postponed to this year.

“Everybody got excited that we were trying to do this,” he said. Ninety percent of all the raw materials were donated – from lumber to electrical supplies to constituents. Lots of people volunteered too. Club members, bakers and locals joined hands to create the home.

Visitor fees are $2 for children and $3 for adults. Several people have made generous donations too, raising the total collections to $150,000 in the first week.

If you’re watching your weight this Christmas, you probably don’t want to make a trip to this house. The 36 million-calorie structure is bound to rekindle your cravings!

Mandela's Death Announced As Duke and Duchess of Cambridge Watch the Autobiography Of Mandela - "Long Walk To Freedom"

Royals, celebrities and members of Nelson Mandela's family attended the UK premiere of the biographical film of his life - oblivious to the fact the man it was about had died only hours earlier.

Mandela's death was announced in South Africa as the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge sat down to watch the screening of Long Walk To Freedom, the movie based on his autobiography.

 

 One of Mandela's daughters, Zindzi Mandela, was also present in the audience, while another, Zenani, had just left having seen the movie before. William and Kate were informed of his death subtly by an aide shortly before the end of the film.

The news, which was revealed on television in an address to the nation by South Africa's current president, Jacob Zuma, was then passed on to stunned guests after the credits had rolled. A two minutes' silence was then held in the West End cinema. Speaking from the Odeon Leicester Square, Prince William said: 'I just wanted to say it's very sad and tragic news. 'We were just reminded what an extraordinary and inspiring man Nelson Mandela was. My thoughts and prayers are with him and his family. It's very sad.'

The Royal couple looked ashen-faced as they walked down the stairs into the foyer. Shortly after they left, shocked members of the audience began emerging from the cinema, in silence at first. It was not clear what had happened to Mandela's daughter, Zindzi. She had seemed jovial and relaxed walking the red carpet outside in Leicester Square before the premiere started but inside, as William and Kate met dignitaries, she seemed to be overcome.

Despite being allowed to return home three months ago, South Africa's first black president has not been able to move from a bedroom described as being a 'virtual 24 hour intensive care unit' and has needed a ventilator to breath

Rumors of Mr Mandela's increasing discomfort started socializing in the early afternoon Wednesday as increasing numbers of Mandela family members arrived at the former president's large Johannesburg home.

South Africa's president Jacob Zuma announced the long-expected death in a special television broadcast last night. Mr Zuma said: 'Our nation has lost its greatest son.'

'What made Nelson Mandela great was precisely what made him human. We saw in him what we seek in ourselves.
