| BB7's Imogen dates a private eye
Big Brother 7 star Imogen Thomas has started dating an American private eye.The 24-year-old met the investigator while in Miami on a modelling assignment recently, and she is hoping to get to know him better over Christmas."He's absolutely gorgeous, I only met him a week ago but I've already asked him over for Christmas," Imogen told the Daily Star Sunday. "He's not sure how long he can stay but I want him to meet my mum."I couldn't believe it when he told me he was a private detective - it sounded like a dodgy chat-up line at first but I made him show me his ID card to prove it. My mum couldn't believe it when I told her I'd asked a private detective to come over for Christmas."Imogen also revealed that she is still receiving plenty of work offers on the back of her Big Brother stint in 2006."The modelling work has really stacked up," she explained.
Guidance counsellors say culture clashes – including abuse ...
It is unclear if a generational culture clash played a part in the murder of 16-year-old Aqsa Parvez this week, but GTA schools say they do see immigrant kids torn between home and mainstream Canada. "These kids are totally caught in the middle. I've had students come to us who have been physically and verbally abused ... yet they tell us it's culturally acceptable for parents to beat them," said Stulberg. "Girls tell us their brothers follow them in the halls to make sure they're not talking to boys," she said, adding families have sent girls and boys who misbehave "back home to be married." On the other hand, the veteran counsellor says she feels badly for immigrant parents who see typical teenaged behaviour as blasphemy. "They gave up everything to bring their families here for all the opportunities Western culture can offer, but socially, they expect their children to act as if they're at home." Stulberg says teachers report cases of suspected abuse to police, but also try to serve as go-betweens with students and their parents, along with two settlement workers.
New UK Service That Matches People Via Mobile Phone
In addition to the basic service YourMyCrush.com will soon be expanding to include an online store, dating tips, an advice forum and other customisable areas for users to make use of with their mobile phones.

Letters, 11/29: The dangers of MySpace
I read on Nov. 18 the article called "MySpace hoax ends with teen’s suicide."In the article I was extremely shocked by the behavior that was going on over the computer site MySpace. I personally do not have a MySpace page specifically for that reason.This article is just one of the many horror stories I have heard about the site. Not only are there people — adults and children — making "false pages," there are predators, and without truly knowing the person you don’t know who it might be. .
