“I’d never made an action movie – so this is the first time I have had anything to do with holding a gun, running around and getting chased by the bad guys,” Witherspoon told Glamour magazine.

“I read the script and thought, ‘This is just fun.’ And we don’t take it that seriously. It’s just fantasy and escape,” she added.

The accident occurred at 9.00 p.m. Friday on the Kisumu-Kakamega highway, spokesperson for Kenya Red Cross Society (KRCS) Nelly Muluka said.

Emirates will serve Dallas/Fort Worth daily with a Boeing 777 aircraft.

The new service is a monumental development because it opens up a key region of the world for the citizens of Dallas/Fort Worth, said Jeffrey P. Fegan, CEO of DFW International Airport.

The UAE is the single largest export market for American goods in the Middle East and trade continues to grow sharply, said UAE ambassador to the US Yousef Al Otaiba.

London:

Police said they would prosecute him for allegedly perverting the course of justice in relation to driving a car above the speed limit in 2003.

Director of public prosecution Keir Starmer told journalists the charges alleged that Huhne had falsely told police between March and May 2003 that he was not the driver of a car involved in a speeding offense, and that his wife at the time was the driver.

Huhne’s then wife, leading economist Vicki Pryce, admitted the driving offense, which is a minor one, and received a small fine and penalty points on her driving license.

Pryce also faces the same charge as Huhne, 57, and both have been summonsed to appear before Westminster magistrates court, where the legal process will begin.

The charge is serious and can only be dealt with by a jury trial in a Crown Court, and if found guilty carries a prison sentence.

The resignation will not affect the stability of Prime Minister David Cameron’s coalition government.

Cameron’s government is a coalition of his Conservative party and the smaller Liberal Democrat party which came together after the inconclusive general election of May, 2010.

Huhne played a leading role in talks establishing the coalition and became one of only four members of Liberal Democrat party in the Cabinet.

He has been replaced by another Liberal Democrat, Ed Davey, who has been promoted from under-secretary at the Department for Business Innovation and Skills.

Davey, aged 46, was his party’s defence spokesman before the 2010 general election.

Black Entertainment Television (Bet) bosses are refusing to broadcast the hip-hop star’s video. According to Tmz.com, it won’t be aired as it’s too explicit for the channel.

The clip features several scantily-dressed female models, suggestive dance moves, and shots of Minaj’s thong-clad butt.

The track will be included on Minaj’s forthcoming album “Pink Friday: Roman Reloaded”, which will release in April this year.
