Weekend pay TV

Saturday, December 1 Masters of Money: Friedrich Hayek , BBC World News, 2.10pm ECONOMICS might be the dismal science, but this terrific little series about three of its biggest names - Keynes, Marx and Hayek - is thoroughly absorbing. Today, BBC economics editor Stephanie Flanders looks at Friedrich Hayek, the free-marketeer who argued that government intervention distorted markets and led to tyranny. Opposed to president Franklin Roosevelt's efforts to spend the US out of the Depression, Hayek was marginalised as economies centralised during World War II and its aftermath. But Hayek's 1974 Nobel prize win, and Margaret Thatcher's embrace of his ideas, brought him back to prominence and drew political battle lines that exist today. Flanders gets insights and opinions from across the spectrum. It repeats tomorrow at 9.10am and 9.10pm. Bobby Flay's Barbecue Addiction, LifeStyle Food, 4pm AMERICAN chef Bobby Flay, who played himself as Mrs Ari's new boyfriend in Entou...

A special meeting of the National Council of the Panthers Party held in Delhi, the capital of India under the chairmanship of Prof. Bhim Singh has extended greetings to the Palestinians and their leadership on the occasion of Eid-ul-Zuha (Eid-ul-Adha) with a hope that after their successful victory to enter UNESCO, Palestine shall enter as a full member of the United Nations. Prof. Bhim Singh in his message of greetings to Mr. Mehmood Abbas, President of Palestine described the victory of Palestine with massive support from the members of the UN to enter UNESCO as a full member. The NPP Chairman cautioned the third world countries about the evil designs of the United States of America which has been exposed thoroughly as agent of the Zionism. He expressed surprised that a country which claims to be a superior nation to all the super powers has kneed so low and so shamelessly before a tiny Zionist State of Israel by following Israel in casting a negative vote against the entry of Palest...

Keselowski's Road To Winning NSCS Championship Keselowski's Road To Winning NSCS Championship LAS VEGAS -- By now you probably know that Brad Keselowski wants a tank , that he'd like to date Jennifer Love Hewitt and that there's a new market for giant Pilsner beer glasses like the one he drank from live on ESPN's "SportsCenter" after winning his first Sprint Cup title. But what you probably don't know is none of this would have been feasible were it not for Discount Tire. Stick with me. You won't see the name of Keselowski's Nationwide Series sponsor splattered all over Las Vegas, where NASCAR is celebrating its newest champion this week. In the world of sponsors, this is Miller Lite's week to get the spotlight with the driver of the No. 2 blue deuce.

This Liz & Dick are a pale imitation

There are moments in Liz & Dick when Lindsay Lohan looks a lot like Elizabeth Taylor. There are others in which she looks like Elizabeth Taylor doing a Saturday Night Live impersonation of Lindsay Lohan. Liz & Dick, being shown tonight on Lifetime, could be worse. Some scenes, though there are too few of them, are kind of fun. The films real failure is that its not terrible enough. Instead it is a respectful and oddly cramped tribute to the legendary love affair between Taylor and Richard Burton that isnt vulgar enough to be entertainingly campy and is too wedded to the myth to riff imaginatively on the couples gaudy, outsize celebrity. Mostly, of course, theres the casting problem. The choice of Lohan is a gimmick that will certainly draw attention and probably viewers. But its not a kindness to that actress, who fails to deliver the kind of breakthrough performance that augurs a comeback. Lohan is a 26-year-old former child star who, in Liz & Dick, is most believable when...

Image
Lauren Hirst on how vajazzling has gone upmarket DO YOU dare to embellish down there? American actress Jennifer Love Hewitt and supermodel Elle Macpherson both did and had no qualms about telling the world about their decorated nether regions. And now, thanks to a new wax bar in the city, the vajazzling trend has reached a whole new level among the girls of Liverpool. Strip has set up shop in Harvey Nichols Beauty Bazaar offering a host of different shapes and styles of gem embellishment as well as waxing fashions.

Considering Mayers reputation as one of the biggest celebrity serial daters having been an item with such high-profile headline magnets as Jennifer Aniston, Taylor Swift, Kim Kardashian and Jennifer Love Hewitt . But now, Im hearing Perrys pals are singing a different tune having witnessed what appears to be total Mayer devotion to the ex-wife of Brit actor and comedian Russell Brand. He truly appears to be totally head-over-heels [in love] with Katy, said a longtime Perry friend. For once, he might be the one who has placed himself in a very vulnerable place. The sources rationale? Perry reportedly may not be ready to take on a serious relationship so soon after her split with Brand. Wouldnt it be i...

Neve Campbell, Jennifer Love Hewitt Among Top-Rated Halloween Movie Scream Queens

Image
Sixteen years after first facing the ghost face killer in the Scream film franchise, Neve Campbell remains one of the most-searched for movie scream queens this Halloween. According to new search data collected by Bing.com, Psycho's Janet Leigh reigns supreme as the top searched-for scary movie star, but the late actress -- who Scarlett Johansson will personify in 2013's Hitchcock -- is followed close behind by some pretty memorable big screen personalities. Cujo, the killer attack dog made famous in Stephen King's 1981 novel of the same name and then the 1983 film, outranked Halloween's Michael Myers for second-place honors on Bing.com's list, which was collected from the last six months of web searches. (Myers finished third.) Campbell, who appeared as Sidney in the Scream franchise, appears on Bing's list alongside her movie costar, David Arquette. To date, the franchise's four films have grossed more than $200 million. "Scream has been fantastic for...
