Scientology made Cruise a superb chef! (Go To Top)

     London: Scientology lessons haven't just helped actor Tom Cruise overcome dyslexia and learn how to fly a plane, they have also turned him into a master cook, according to movie mogul Sydney Pollack. The actor/director, who starred alongside Cruise in 1999's EYES WIDE SHUT and directed him in THE FIRM, was amazed how quickly the movie hunk picked up his own culinary skills by using Scientology's educational doctrines. Cruise has often credited the church's learning tools with helping him overcome dyslexia and giving him the confidence to become a pilot, but it's a little known fact he has also become an expert in the kitchen thanks to Scientology. "During Eyes Wide Shut, he didn't know how to cook anything, so he would sit there and videotape everything I did and write it all down and practice them (dishes)," Pollack was quoted by Femalefirst, as saying. "Now he can cook every single one of those dishes. I'm quite sure there's something in Scientology that works in a positive way for him, that he finds a sense of validity or encouragement or motivation," he added.

Your cuppa coffee may not be too good for your heart (Go To Top)

     London: Though several studies have shown that coffee may actually be good for you, new research shows that too much of it may be bad for some coffee lovers' hearts. Researchers from the University of Athens found that coffee drinkers had more stiffness of the major blood vessel of the body than non-coffee drinkers. Decreased elasticity of major blood vessels is a risk factor for developing heart disease like heart attack and stroke. The findings are reported in the June 1 issue of the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition. The researchers had already linked coffee drinking to increased indicators of inflammation, one of the key mechanisms to the development of heart disease. And they have also reported that combining coffee with cigarette smoking seems to be much worse for the heart than smoking alone. "The evidence regarding coffee is far less conclusive than it is for smoking," study researcher Charalambos Vlachopoulos, MD, tells WebMD. "But it still might be prudent for people who drink more than three cups of coffee a day to cut down, especially if they have high blood pressure or other risk factors for heart disease." Previous studies evaluating coffee's role in promoting high blood pressure and heart disease have been conflicting. Though some suggest a strong link, others have found no link at all or even a health benefit to coffee drinking. They also measured blood vessel wall abnormalities, wall stiffness, the inability to expand and contract and a sign of unhealthy blood vessels. Compared with people who did not drink coffee, people who drank two or more cups of coffee a day showed more abnormalities in blood vessel function. Blood vessel stiffness is an indictor of heart disease risk. The association remained strong even after taking into account other heart disease risk factors like smoking, obesity, and age. But nutrition researcher Alice Lichtenstein, DSc, says the lifestyle differences between the coffee drinkers and non-coffee drinkers were so great that it would be difficult for the researchers to take these into account.

Paris Hilton to get married in two ceremonies (Go To Top)

     Washington: Paris Hilton plans to have her wedding in a grand way. She would exchange vows in two lavish ceremonies, at home in America and in Latsis' native Greece. "We're trying to figure it out right now. It's gonna be so amazing and huge and just take a lot of planning. We're thinking of doing two weddings," Contact music quoted her as saying. "We'll do a little bit of American (food) and a little Greek. I think we will have two celebrations. We're gonna go and visit with the Latsis family this summer - my husband and the boys and NICKY and Paris - and figure everything out," her mother was quoted as saying.
