The legendary rock band, The Rolling Stones, is confirmed to start their postponed "A Bigger Bang" tour on July 11th in Milan, Italy. This confirmation is a relief for the fans after the head injury Keith Richards got during his vacation in Fiji, and Ron Wood's alcohol-addiction.

This indication came up to the surface after an eyewitness saw her going to a yoga class in the afternoon, on the same day of her faith-returning decision, with T-shirt and jeans, showing her unusual increasing belly and abdomen sizes.

The bad spell upon the credibility of a sequel movie is haunting the famous orange, chubby-spoiled cat, "Garfield" in the recently released "Garfield: A Tail of Two Kitties". There have been some conclusions leading to the underperformance of the movie based on Jim Davis' annoying feline.

The accusation goes to its visually poor description, ridiculous and unconvincing story, complete with the unremarkable dialogues and the abundance forced sequences between the lazy furry creature and his two human friends (still, having Jennifer Love Hewitt and Breckin Meyer playing the roles). This movie is also called as an undeniably boring children movie, even if it is meant to be as one.
