A doctor who can turn brown eyes blue has denied that his revolutionary technique is ethnically insensitive. Dr Gregg Homer, from Stroma Medical in California unveiled his Lumineyes technology which can permanently change a person’s eye colour in just 20 seconds last month. But as the £3,200 cosmetic procedure doesn’t work in reverse – meaning you cannot turn a blue eye brown – many are questioning if it is discriminatory. When questioned on the issue he told The Times: ‘Well, number one, I’m Jewish. So that would be a pretty heavy blow to take. ‘I mean is bleached hair an ethnic issue?’ Blue eyes, which are a recessive trait, are becoming increasingly rare and as a consequence there has been a growing trend for coloured contact lenses.Despite the 57-year-old denying that the procedure will attract those wanting to emulate blue-eyed stars such as Cameron Diaz, Elizabeth Taylor and Daniel Craig he can see the attraction.

He was then seen leaving an American Airline ticket counter after re-booking another flight home.The ordeal had seemingly raised the star’s temperature, as he appeared to have sweat stains on his T-shirt. Baldwin’s obsession with a Scrabble-inspired iPhone game got him ‘reamed’ out on an earlier AA flight today. After a flurry of reports hit Twitter, Baldwin took to his own account to give his version of this afternoon’s events. ‘Flight attendant on American reamed me out 4 playing WORDS W FRIENDS while we sat at the gate, not moving,’ he tweeted this afternoon, along with the hashtag, ‘#nowonderamericaairisbankrupt’ Before adding: ‘#theresalwaysunited’ Mail Online

Entre 200 y 400 rupias (entre cuatro y ocho dólares) cobraron los fans que aplaudieron a rabiar a Tom Cruise durante la gira promocional que la estrella de Hollywood realizó la pasada semana en la India. Así lo aseguran informes de la prensa de Bombay, Meca del cine local, recogidos por el canal de televisión NDTV, que apunta que ese y no otro fue el motivo de que la Cruise provocara auténticos tumultos durante su estancia en este país. El viaje tuvo el objetivo de publicitar una nueva entrega de “Mission Impossible”, que Tom Cruise protagoniza desde 1996, y en todas y cada de sus escalas estuvo rodeado de un gran despliegue popular y mediático. Tras aterrizar en Nueva Delhi, Cruise se desplazó a la cercana Agra, donde visitó el Taj Mahal, para concluir su periplo en Bombay, ciudad en la que como en los anteriores destinos fue recibido en olor de multitudes por decenas de jóvenes. Aunque el representante de Tom Cruise en la India, Sabbas Joseph, se ha apresurado a desmentir los informes, que tildó de “falsos” y “puro producto de la imaginación”, no ha faltado en la industria local quien no se ha llevado a engaño.

Kids really do say the darndest things, and apparently, some presidential candidates don’t know how to respond. At a recent South Carolina book signing event, GOP presidential hopeful Michele Bachmann greeted locals, including Elijah, a bashful eight-year-old. After some coaxing on her part, he whispers to Mrs Bachmann: ‘Miss Bachmann, my mommy’s gay but she doesn’t need any fixing.’ Mrs Bachmann draws away and stands up, casting an icy glance at Elijah’s mother before saying, ‘Bye-bye!’ as the mother and son walked away. Mrs Bachmann has come under attack for her outspoken stance against gay marriage. Members of the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender rights activists have confronted the Republican presidential hopeful on several occasions.
