British pop group 'Girls Aloud' have found themselves the unwitting ambassadors of a Russian escort agency after the Moscow based organisation used a photograph of the group to advertise their services. 

The Babylon Escort Agency is using an old photograph of the pop stars to promote its services. The advert claims that Sarah Harding, Cheryl Cole, Nicola Roberts, Nadine Coyle and Kimberley Walsh are among its "friendly and sophisticated girls waiting for your call", reported Daily Mirror online. 

The image was taken five or six years ago before Sarah cut her blonde locks short, before Cheryl married Ashley Cole and found solo fame and before Nadine underwent a dramatic weight loss.

But even though it's an old picture, the agency didn't ask permission to use it and the band's management could sue.

She's one of the most photographed women in the world. And as odd as it may sound the thing Maria Sharapova is most grateful for on her first visit to Auckland is: "no one has tried to take a picture of me eating a bowl of bolognese pasta with meat sauce all over my face".

That and other little gems is what an expectant press pack found out when the tennis beauty queen, the top seed at this year's ASB Classic, was paraded in front of us yesterday. Apparently, well-meaning fans have a habit of snapping her when she has "meat sauce" on her face, a habit she's not that fond of.

She is after all supposed to be a glamour-puss.

Call me crazy but Maria, as her meat sauce story would seem to suggest, seemed pretty damn unpretentious, dare we say ordinary. Just ask James McOnie.

The likeable larrikin, he of The Crowd Goes Wild fame, specialises in embarrassing sports stars and himself with zany questions. However, poor old James met his match yesterday. As well as the nice meat sauce line we learnt Maria likes to shop but hasn't had time to since here arrival here a few days ago.

McOnie offered to show her the ropes to which she inquired: "How's your taste? Is it good? I see you don't know too many hairdressers around here".

Nice serve that and ASB Classic organisers will be hoping we see plenty more of those when the tennis megastar graces ASB Tennis Centre this week.

First kisses are confusing because neither of you know exactly how the other person will respond. Swapping saliva with a bad kisser can be disappointing and discouraging, to say the least! But if the chemistry is right, a first kiss can turn into a cinematic moment where time slows down ... music swirls in the background ... and your head spins in so many directions that you don't know whether you're standing on earth or in heaven.

Research indicates that over 55% of married women are not interested in having sex with their husbands. In my 35 years of counseling couples, I’ve worked with many men who also are not interested in sex with their wives. The problem is generally not a lack of sexual desire - it’s that they are not interested in sex with their partner.

There is a very good reason for this.

Sexuality in long term relationships is the result of loving energy flowing between two people. If something is blocking this loving energy, the sexual energy between them often gets blocked as well.

There may be many reasons for loving and sexual energy being blocked, but the most common is what I call the “pull-resist relationship system.”

Here’s how it works:

Alex Ovechkin is one of the greatest hockey player in the history of the game.

He is a born athlete who’s father is a former professional soccer player and who’s mother is a 2 time Olympic Gold Medalist in women’s basketball.

The first sign of Ovechkin’s future came when he was two years old—while in a Soviet toy store, he grabbed a toy hockey stick and refused to let go. His parents treasure the picture to this day. Whenever he saw a hockey game on TV, he “dropped his toys” and ran to the TV, protesting if his parents tried to change the channel. His parents say they knew he would be an athlete when he chose to run up the steps to their 10th floor apartment instead of taking the elevator.

There have been some special moments in my life when someone confides in me a personal story that truly moves me.

So here’s a story that I’d like to share with you so hopefully you can get an idea as to what REAL Character, Strength and Fortitude is all about.

Recently I was privileged to hear a personal story about a very special and profoundly beautiful young lady I’ll call Jennifer.

As with all personal stories concerning Russian people history always plays a huge role.

For most of these people the years surrounding the breakup of the Soviet Union was a completely chaotic and dangerous time to live in.

For Jennifer and her family this was certainly the case since they lived in the neighboring country of Kazakhstan during the collapse of the USSR.

When Kazakhstan declared itself as an independent country the indigenous Central Asian “Kazakhs” that lived there decided that it was time for some payback for the many years of iron fisted Soviet rule over their ancestral lands. Although they declared independence away from Moscow they didn’t necessarily stop there.

Methodically they started to marginalize and discriminate against the millions of Ethnic Russians that had already lived in Kazakhstan for many years. Many Russians that were previously involved in building up Kazakhstan society soon found themselves without opportunities for jobs or a higher education as “greater priority” was given to the “locals” instead.

Now I admit the following article can be a little biased, because it came from the English edition of the newspaper Moscow Times ..

But hey ..

I do not think I could have done better to write such an article was inspired by our favorite women in Russia itself.

But in ANYCASE ..

I can certainly relate to this guy.

Foreigners married and moving abroad of Russian women often insist on taking their children with them, even if the child is not too small. This situation is normal, and I think we need to be ruthless to slow down. However, some women go further and try to take abroad by their mothers, brothers, sisters, aunts and even grandparents. I heard about a woman who tried to persuade her new husband to take her ex-husband with them, because his son has to miss him a lot. If you love this woman reason to satisfy such a request?


As soon as you ask it concerns a distant relative, of course, he just wanted to make a profit you and I doubt anything that he thinks of you. However, if it was his mother, he wanted to return it, rather delicate matter.


 The problem of relations between man and the laws of a wide spread in Russia. Russians are a lot of jokes on the subject. But what is the basis for the notorious conflict? This stubbornness of a spouse or a trick of his laws? This is not the first or second? In fact, the Russians are not currently practicing a close relationship between several generations of a dynasty make. A married woman who keeps contact with his mother, should be enough infantile. It does not make a good wife. He was not grown up enough to be his wife and prefers to play the helpless little daughter. Such a woman is unable to make decisions about themselves, and since then has been under the strong influence of his wife and mother. The case where there is even a small difference in their view, inevitably lead to serious disagreements. You should never agree to let her mother to intrude into your family life if it can easily turn into a battlefield. If your fiancee insists on taking his mother in another country, you'd better find another woman. However, you will be happy with my wife likes.
