But now Redford, who remains good friends with Newman, has hinted that he was not averse to considering a joint project with Newman, provided someone came up with the perfect script. "The stuff that came to us wasn't any good. They said, 'Can you do a sequel to The Sting?' No, leave that one alone... Don't try to milk it. "Then they said, 'What about a sequel to Butch Cassidy?' 'Well, the guys died in it, so what is it going to be, a spiritual film?' Well, how about a prequel?' That's pretty desperate," Contact music quoted him, as saying.

Viagra may be good for women's hearts (Go To Top)

     Melbourne: Viagra, may soon find other uses besides boosting men's sex lives, the drug is also effective against pulmonary arterial hypertension, which mostly affects women. The drug was cleared for use against pulmonary arterial hypertension in the United States by the Food and Drug Administration in June after clinical trials. In Australia, it is undergoing the approval process set by the Therapeutic Goods Administration. German scientists Friedrich Grimminger and Werner Seeger, have pioneered research into Viagra's ability to treat heart disease, reports The Age. Professor Seeger said the version of the drug used for pulmonary arterial hypertension would be called Revatio, and would come in a different colour and shape to Viagra. Both Viagra and Revatio have the same active ingredient - sildenafil citrate. "Blood vessel diseases such as stroke, pulmonary hypertension, angina pectoris, myocardial infarction and coronary heart disease represent the No. 1 cause of death worldwide," said Professor Schmidt. "How these diseases develop is insufficiently understood," he said. "Consequently, only symptoms such as elevated blood pressure rather than causes of the diseases can be treated. We need to do better."

That day in Sydney, I said, 'This is my last show today," he added. Martin's new album LIFE will be out in October (05).

Sir Mick Jagger says 'Heil Hitler' (Go To Top)

The star admits that he waves his arms and stares at the crowd in a menacing manner reminiscent of Hitler's rallying political speeches, but that doesn't mean that his intentions are also sinister like the German dictator. "All I want is for the crowd to have fun. Hitler was a brilliant crowd manipulator, but he wasn't asking the crowd to enjoy themselves very much.
