Zara Philips Marries England Rugby Captain Mike Tindall

Zara Anne Elizabeth Phillips, the daughter of HRH The Princess Royal and the granddaughter of Queen Elizabeth II who is 13th in line to the throne, and Michael James Tindall, captain of England's rugby team, were married on a glorious,  in historic Edinburgh Saturday.

Ceremony took place at Canongate Kirk, a small Church of Scotland venue where the Queen worships when she stays in Edinburgh that dates back to 1688.


The bride made her arrival at a fashionably late six minutes past the hour in an ivory silk and duchess satin gown by Stewart Parvin – the personal couturier to the Queen – a silk tulle cathedral veil and she carried a huge bouquet of cream-colored flowers. She accessorized with Jimmy Choo shoes and a tiara on loan from Princess Anne. Tindall wore a suit adorned with coattails and a light grey stripe on the trouser legs.


Prior to the wedding, the couple hosted a private cocktail reception on the Royal Yacht Britannia, a decommissioned ship docked in Edinburgh where Zara used to travel on as a child. Tindall stayed at the Balmoral Hotel, where J.K. Rowling finished her Harry Potter novels. Zara stayed at the Palace of Holyroodhouse on her last night before she became Mrs. Tindall.

Tindall's parents, who were beaming upon entering the church, come from a modest background. His father retired as a bank official and is battling Parkinson's Disease. His mother was a social worker. Tindall has said that Phillips's royal stature is of no matter, and that even if she worked as a cashier at a grocery store, he would still be in love with her.

 
Princess Beatrice was among the first guests to arrive, wearing a turquoise hat with matching floral dress. Prince William and wife Kate (who wore a cream suit and matching hat) pulled up right afterwards in a black Jaguar. Princess Anne and her husband Tim Laurence followed and then another car brought Prince Charles and Camilla, also dressed in cream.

The guests posed for the throngs of people lining the narrow, cobblestone streets, while Queen Elizabeth, in a dignified peach dress and hat, and Prince Phillip smiled to the crowd upon their arrival.

At the bride's request, the Gordonstoun Chamber Choir – the student chorus from the private Scottish private school she attended – sang at the ceremony, performing the 'Gaelic Blessing' and then 'Amazing Grace' at the signing of the register.

The reception will be held at the Palace of Holyroodhouse, the Queen’s residence, not far from the church. Zara spent many school holidays visiting her grandmother there. The Queen is donating the use of her residence as the wedding reception venue for $60,000, which is being closed to the public for five days. It will cost a reported $800,000 to police the wedding, including marksmen at vantage points to protect the royal guests.

With guests expected to number no more than 300, the couple looked forward to a private, family affair. "My wedding will be nothing like Kate and William's. For a start, there won't be anywhere near as many people. It will be a lot smaller, just close family and friends. Kate and William's wedding was amazing but ours will be very different," Phillips told Hello Magazine.

Chef Karen Carlotta : Cooking In Paradise

Chef Karen Carlotta, or more commonly called the KC, she is a chef who hosts a Cooking in Paradise which was broadcast on Trans 7 every Saturday morning

Karen existence in Indonesia as a chef is still new, approximately 1.5 years. However, creativity has attracted the attention of many parties to make a woman who also holds an undergraduate economics is as iconic product or company.

Since last year, for example, Karen along with her future husband, Adhika Maxi, who is also a chef, becoming one of the icons of young people for a Japanese car. Karen is also under contract with the manufacturer of household appliances as a specialist chef.

Since studying in the culinary field, namely at The Singapore International Hotel & Tourism College (SHATEC) who founded Singapore Hotel Association, Karen was more poor across the restaurant and hotel in the country.

In fact, since late 2007 until mid-2009, Karen is responsible for three restaurants, namely One Rochester, One Twenty Six, and One Caramel. Starting from the position of chef de partie in charge of specific areas of pastry, Karen occupies an important position, namely as executive pastry chef, in the last three months.

Responsibilities in the three restaurants no doubt make more time spent at work. Six days a week, Karen was in the restaurant from 06:00 AM until around 23:00 PM

Then I use for mashing the leaves or flowers in the yard while imagination to create something. Anyway wanted to go help Mom in the kitchen, but not allowed, "said Karen.

The mother finally let her enter the kitchen when her daughter was in high school. Armed with sponge cake recipes from books purchased, Karen started her adventures in the kitchen. "Because the new trial and error, more failure, which happens a lot harder," she said.

Karen did not give up. Her amazement when a mixture of flour, sugar, eggs, and baking powder turns into a fluffy sponge cake makes it challenging to get perfect results. In fact, when the first successful chiffon cake made, she attempted to get a different flavor.

"I do not want to just make a chiffon cake with a sense of standards. So, I try adding carrot juice or juice to get a sense different durians. Essences of mint too I have ever tried and it turns out the cake feels like toothpaste, ha-ha-ha, "said Karen.

"I want my creations recipe can easily be practiced by others in the house, except recipe menu at the restaurant later. For me, a chef must be able to share his knowledge to others, " said Karen.

Katy Perry role as Smurfette In The Smurfs in 3D

The Smurfs Movie, is an upcoming 3D live-action/CGI family film based on The Smurfs comic books created by Peyo and the 1980s animated TV series. It is directed by Raja Gosnell. Produced by Jordan Kerner, the film will be distributed by Columbia Pictures. It will be the first CGI/live-action hybrid film in The Smurfs trilogy. Filming began on March 26, 2010 in New York. After having the release date changed three times, it is currently scheduled to be released on July 29, 2011.

The Smurfs in 3D also stars Neil Patrick Harris and Hank Azaria, and features the voices of Perry, Alan Cumming, George Lopez, and celebrity chef Wolfgang Puck. 

In this film narrated,  once  upon a time in the Middle Ages, the evil wizard Gargamel (Hank Azaria) discovers the Smurfs' village and chases them into a wooded area. The Smurfs get scattered and Clumsy Smurf (voiced by Anton Yelchin) wanders into a "forbidden" grotto and some of the other Smurfs follow. Since it's also a blue moon, a magical portal within the grotto transports them into present-day Central Park in New York. They take shelter with married couple Patrick and Grace Winslow (Neil Patrick Harris and Jayma Mays) and try to find a way back to their village before Gargamel finds them.

Katy Perry looked smurf-tastic Sunday afternoon at the world premiere of The Smurfs in 3D at New York's Zeigfield Theatre. She celebrated her role as Smurfette wearing a pair of smurfy high-heels and a very smurfy white dress with her Smurfs character adorning the front.

Smurfette has more delicate features than the other Smurfs, with long blonde wavy hair, longer eyelashes, and wears a white dress and white high heels. She is the love interest of almost every Smurf. 

Smurfette was magically created from clay by the Smurfs' enemy, Gargamel, so that she would use her charms to cause jealousy and competition among the Smurfs in order to cause their fall. He left her in the forest and Hefty Smurf took her to the Smurf village, where she was kept out of kindness.

Gargamel's plans didn't work well at all. The smurfs' kindness to Smurfette caused her to want nothing else than to be a real smurf. Papa Smurf took pity on her and took her to his laboratory, where they locked themselves in while he cast spells, including infusing her with moonbeams, before emerging. Smurfette now had long, flowing blonde hair and an appealing character. This caused every Smurf of the village to fall in love with her. The Smurfs got their revenge on Gargamel by using the same process that he had used to make the Smurfette, but in this case they built a man-sized, wart-covered, ugly old hag who talked Smurf language and chased the horrified sorcerer all over the forest.

Smurfette returned occasionally to the village, though she found that her presence still aroused conflict. When the Smurfs argued about which one should marry her, she herself announced that she would take Grouchy Smurf, who had customarily stated "I hate marriage", thus making her point that the subject was closed.

The Smurfs then moderated their passion for her, worshiping from a distance, and she settled permanently in the village. She even learned to talk in Smurf language when previously she had talked in straight human speech in accordance with Gargamel's magic.
Her influence could still be used for positive actions. When Hefty Smurf tried to organize Olympic Smurfs (in 1980), the other Smurfs showed no interest. But when it was later announced that the winner would get a kiss from the Smurfette this produced a mad rush for the signing-in office.

Last month, the Spanish town of Juzcar was chosen for the film's premiere in Spain, and the entire town was painted Smurf blue.

After the renovation, one resident of the town said, "We like the idea of being the Smurf village. Everyone is very excited."
