Teacher faces disciplinary action after parent uncovers racy lingerie photos online

A teacher is facing disciplinary action after outraged parents spotted photographs of her posing in her underwear on the Internet.

Aspiring model Natasha Gray, 30, was reprimanded after a stunned parent wrote an anonymous letter complaining about the 'provocative pictures'.

Miss Gray, who is the Head of PE and Dance at Manor Community College in Cambridge, is pictured wearing pink lingerie and stilettos on website iModel.com.

A caption on her 'Tasha' homepage, which promotes her modelling work, states she is 'willing to travel with expenses paid'.

'Inappropriate': Parents say pictures of aspiring model Natasha Gray, 30, Head of PE and dance at Manor Community College, Cambridge, were seen by students

In 2002, Miss Gray was named Britain's sexiest teacher after winning an ITV phone-in competition, just two weeks before she started her job at Manor Community College.

The angry letter from an unnamed parent said the 'inappropriate' pictures were 'common knowledge' among students as young as 11 at the school.

Winning beauty: Miss Gray was named Britain's Sexiest Teacher two weeks before she started her job

It read: 'I am a parent of a pupil at Manor Community College in Cambridge and was surprised when my child came home from school informing me that one of their teachers had some what I would call provocative pictures on a website.

'From doing a bit of digging, it is apparently common knowledge about these photos, and has been for some time.

'Any teacher is in a position of trust and surely this is inappropriate for not only the school, but also pupils.

'I am disgusted that, even if these were taken before she became a teacher, Miss Gray has not even attempted to remove them.

'I assume the pupils have a good giggle about it but I find it rather crass.'


Mother-of-two Claire Schofield, who is a governor at the secondary school and has one child there with another due to start in September, said she was surprised a teacher could be so careless.

'I would hope that any teacher would be able to be some sort of responsible role model to children at the school,' she said.

'I don't think she really thought this through.' Headteacher Ben Slade insisted the photos had nothing to do with the school but said Miss Gray would be severely reprimanded.

He said: 'I knew nothing about this. It is not on the school's internet and we have very robust policies on how staff should behave in school.

'This will certainly be dealt with most severely and will certainly be a disciplinary matter.

'Teachers are entitled to their union representation and Miss Gray has been spoken to.

'She will asked to take the pictures down. This is not a matter for suspension, as much as I would like it to be in this case.

'If the pictures were more pornographic or if they involved someone of a dubious age it would be more serious.'


Following her win as Britain's sexiest teacher Miss Gray entered a competition against winners from six other professions to be named 'Britain's Sexiest'.

She was narrowly pipped to the top prize by a fitness instructor.Speaking after the competition she said: 'It was absolutely fantastic. I had such a brilliant day. The audience was great and helped me get into it.'

Miss Gray was unavailable for comment yesterday.

Pammy and the Tranny: Pamela Anderson is upstaged on the catwalk at Miami fashion show

It's no mean feat stealing the spotlight from Pamela Anderson.

But when the blonde took to the catwalk for Rock Fashion Week, she was faced with some stiff competition - a towering transvestite.

Despite trying hard to attract attention, the former Baywatch star found herself being upstaged by the cross-dressing model during the Richie Rich show.

Pamela left little to the imagination in a tie-die t-shirt and Laboutin stiletto heels, showing off her enviable figure and toned legs.


But her fellow model stole the show in a peroxide wig, sequinned dress and floral coat.Earlier, Pamela, who appears to be sporting a new fringe, donned a white t-shirt to announce her new brand Muse with Richie Rich.

Perhaps Pamela, 41, has been taking some tips from Vivienne Westwood.


Earlier this month, she walked the runway for the designer in Paris, suffering a wardrobe malfunction when her surgically-enhanced breast came free of her gown.

But backstage after the show on the elegant Place Vendome, orange-haired Westwood shared a few tips for dispelling the economic gloom as the Paris womenswear shows got into full swing.

'Buy less, choose well, mix it all. Wear your shirt back to front, that way you get two ways of wearing your shirt,' she told reporters.

Papa Benedict ajipata matatani

Papa Benedict ajipata matatani kwa sababu ya Kondom

Papa Benedict wa kumi na sita amelaumiwa vikali kwenye tahariri iliyoandikwa kwenye jarida mashuhuri zaidi duniani la utabibu Lancet kuhusiana na matamshi yake kuhusu mipira ya kondom.

Jarida hilo linasema kuwa Papa alipotosha ushahidi wa kisayansi alipohoji uwezo wa mipira ya kondom kuzuia kusambaa kwa virusi vya HIV akisema kuwa mipira ya Kondom inachangia zaidi kuenea kwa virusi hivyo.

Sasa inaonekana jaribio la Papa Benedict kuhalalisha mafunzo ya kanisa Katoliki kuhusu matumizi ya mipira ya Kondom limeambulia patupu.

Papa aliyatoa matamshi haya wakati akiongea na waandishi wa habari kwenye ndege yake akiwa njiani kwa ziara barani Afrika ambapo maradhi ya ukimwi yameua na yanaendelea kuua mamilioni ya watu, alinukuliwa kusema kwamba maradhi hayo ni changamoto isiyodhibitiwa kwa kusambaza mipira ya kondom.

Aliongeza kwamba mipira ya kondom inasaidia kusambaza zaidi virusi vya HIV.tahariri ya jarida la Lancet ilielelezea matamshi ya Papa kuwa ya kutisha na yasio ya uhakika na kwamba Papa alipotosha ushahidi wa kisayansi ili kupigia debe imani za kanisa Katoliki.

Matamshi haya yanaonekana kumponza kwani sasa jarida la Lancet katika tahariri yake linasema kwamba sio bayana iwapo kosa la Papa lilitokana na kutojua au jaribio maksudi la kutumia sayansi ili kupata uungwaji mkono wa imani ya Kanisa Katoliki.

Linasema kwamba kwa maoni bora zaidi ya utatibu ni kuwa mipira ya condom inayotumiwa na wanaume ndio njia ya pekee mfuti kabisa kuzuia maambukizi ya virusi vya HIV.

Hadi sasa, washauri wa Papa Benedict kuhusu masuala ya uhusiano wa umma wa Papa Benedict wameshindwa kupata ushahidi wowote ulio kinyume na hayo.

Secret weapon: Rihanna unveils controversial new gun tattoo

Given her recent domestic assault, one might think Rihanna would be the last person who'd want to glamourise violence.

But the 21-year-old made the unusual decision to have a handgun tattooed on her body this week.

The singer, who has often been seen wearing a miniature gun pendant necklace, had the weapon etched across her ribcage.

Rihanna

Weapon of choice: Rihanna shows off her new tattoo of a handgun

She visited Los Angeles based tattoo artist BangBang, who initially drew two guns on either side of the tops of her arms.

But the singer decided against having the weapons inked on in such a prominent position because of her contract with make-up brand Cover Girl.

BangBang wrote on his website: 'I really wanted to put it here [on her arms]… She loved ‘em. But, Cover Girl wouldn’t have liked it much… and they pay the bills!'

Practice run: Rihanna had two guns drawn onto the tops of her arms in pen but decided against having the tattoos in such a prominent position

Favourite accessory: Rihanna stepped out earlier this month with a gun pendant on her necklace

He continued: 'Ended up doing it on her ribs.'

Rihanna already has many other tattoos, including a collection of stars plunging down her back, a music note on her ankle and a Pisces sign behind her right ear.

She also has a star inside her left ear, a Sanskrit prayer going down the hip, the word Shhh... down her index finger, and a tribal patter on her right hand.

Rihanna has been keeping a reasonably low profile in recent times following her assault drama.

She was allegedly beaten up by her boyfriend Chris Brown during a heated argument in his sports car the day before the Grammy Awards.

The couple, who reconciled after the incident despite his domestic battery charges, are said to be on a break.

Brown is expected to be back in court for an arraignment on April 6.

Legal experts have claimed that the case against Brown could hinge on Rihanna's co-operation.

Her spokesperson has previously insisted that she will 'do everything that the law requires her to do'.

Saratani ya Mlango wa kizazi Afrika yajadiliwa

Mgonjwa wa saratani akifanyiwa matibabu

Wataalam wa afya, na viongozi kutoka barani Afrika wanahudhuria mkutano mkubwa nchini uingereza hii leo kujadili mbinu za kuzuia na kudhibiti saratani ya mlango wa kizazi au Cervical cancer barani Afrika.

Mkutano huo unatazamiwa kuibua mikakati itakayosaidia kuokoa maisha ya mamilioni ya wanawake barani afrika ambao wanakumbwa saratani hiyo.

Wanawake wengi zaidi wanakumbwa na saratani ya mlango wa kizazi kuliko saratani nyingine yoyote, japo ugonjwa huu unaweza kukingwa kupitia chanjo au kutibiwa ukigunduliwa mapema.

Na utafiti uliofanywa nchini Uganda umebainisha kuwa kufanyiwa tohara huenda kukasaidia kupunguza magonjwa mengine ya zinaa mbali na Ukimwi.

Utafiti huo uliochapishwa na jarida moja la kitabibu nchini Uingereza, unasema kuwa ni nadra sana kwa wanaume waliotahiriwa kupatwa na ugonjwa wa malengelenge na virusi vya
papi-lloma, maarufu kama HPV ambavyo husababisha saratani ya mlango wa kizazi, kwa wanawake.

Utafiti wa hapo awali uliofanywa katika nchi tatu barani afrika ikiwemo Uganda, ulibainisha kuwa tohara kwa wanaume hupunguza viwango vya maambukizi ya ugonjwa wa Ukimwi kwa zaidi ya asilimia hamsini.

Lily Allen shows off her slim figure in clinging blue dress... or is it a vest?

Lily Allen must have been feeling body confident as she stepped out on stage last night.

The singer's bright blue vest-like dress left little to the imagination, with the clinging fabric highlighting every curve.

It recently emerged that the 23-year-old had dropped two dress sizes with the help of hypnotherapy.

Is that a dress or a vest? Lily Allen squeezed into the figure-hugging blue shift for her concert at the Brighton Dome

Nowhere to hide: Lily's dress showed off every curve


Lily showed off her figure as she appeared in Brighton as part of her tour to promote her second album It's Not Me, It's You, with which she is enjoying chart success.

Next month, she will head to the States with her tour, which has already seen her perform in Ireland and Scotland.

Each night has seen Lily try out a new look, with her Dublin show seeing her return to the style which made her famous - teaming a prom dress with white Reebok trainers.

Clearly the five-inch heels were taking their toll as she decided on the comfortable option.

She kicked off her tour in dubious style on Saturday night - by throwing up in front of fans.

She was sick on the pavement after finishing the first gig of her tour in Glasgow after downing white wine throughout the show.

But she soon regained her composure and continued posing for pictures with fans until the early hours of Sunday morning like a true professional.

Mama wa aliyempiga Mwinyi amwomba Kikwete amsaidie

*Adai ana hali mbaya gerezani

MAMA mzazi wa kijana Ibrahim Said aliyempiga kibao Rais mstaafu Mwinyi, jana alitinga Baraza la Waislamu Tanzania (Bakwata) kumsihi Mufti wa Tanzania, Sheikh Issa Bin Shaaban Simba, akamuombe Mzee Mwinyi na Rais Jakaya Kikwete kumnusuru kijana wake kwa vile afya yake hairidhishi gerezani.

Mama huyo mkazi wa Mabibo jijini Dar es Salaam alifika katika ofisi za Bakwata, Kinondoni baada ya kutoka Gereza la Keko kumuona mtoto wake.

Akizungumza na waandishi huku akibubujikwa na machozi, Rehema alisema hali aliyomkuta nayo mwanaye ni mbaya na hairidhishi.

Ibrahim Said (26) alihukumiwa kifungo cha mwaka mmoja jela kutokana na kosa la kumshambulia kwa kumnasa kibao Mzee Mwinyi, alipokuwa akihutubia Baraza la Maulid lililofanyika katika Ukumbi wa Diamond Jubilee, jijini Dar es Salaam Machi 9 mwaka huu.

Rehema alidai kijana huyo anaumwa na amevimba mwili kutokana na kipigo na adhabu nyingine anazopata katika gereza hilo. "Nimekuja kumuomba Mufti akamuombe rais, mwanangu apunguziwe adhabu au ikiwezekana amsamehe na kutoka gerezani, kwa kuwa yeye ni mkuu wa nchi na anayo mamlaka hayo,” alisema na kuongeza: "Kosa alilofanya mwanangu ni kama ajali tu, na yeyote inaweza kumpata.

Lakini naumia sana kutokana na hali aliyonayo gerezani hata kutembea hawezi anaburuzwa na kipigo kimeongezeka”. Alilalamika kuwa mwanaye hatendewi haki kwa kuwa anaumwa huku mwili wake ukiwa umevimba kwa kipigo bila hata kupatiwa huduma ya dawa na chakula.

"Hatendewi haki, hapewi kula, anaumwa hapewi dawa, anapigwa na kuteswa mwanangu,” alilalamika.

Aidha mama huyo aliwataka watu wasiende kumtembelea kijana wake katika Gereza la Keko kwa kuwa wanazidi kumchanganya.

"Nawaomba watu wasimtembelee, kwa kuwa kila anapotembelewa namna hiyo, anazidi kuchanganyikiwa,” alisema Rehema na kumshukuru Sheikh wa Mkoa wa Dar es Salaam, Alhad Mussa Salim kwa kumsaidia kwenda kumuona Mufti Simba.

Baada ya kufika kwa Mufti na kueleza matatizo yake, Sheikh Simba alimuamuru Afisa Habari wa Bakwata Issa Mkalinga kuita waandishi ili mama huyo aongee nao na kutoa malalamiko yake.

Kwa upande wake, Mufti Simba aliahidi kuyafikisha maombi ya mama huyo kwa Rais Kikwete na Mzee Mwinyi.

"Mimi niliomba radhi siku ile ile kwa Mzee Mwinyi na yeye alimsamehe, lakini Ibrahim ameshitakiwa na Jamhuri wala si mzee Mwinyi.

"Malalamiko na maombi yake kuhusu mateso anayoyapata mwanaye, mimi nitayachukua na kuyafikisha kwa Rais Kikwete na Mzee Mwinyi ili aweze kutendewa haki huko aliko,” alisema Mufti Simba.

Afisa Uhusiano wa Magereza, Omar Mtiga alisema hana taarifa juu ya madai hayo na kuahidi kuwa apewe muda kidogo ili awasiliane na watu walioko gerezani ambao ndio wanaokaa na mfungwa huyo.

“Mimi sipo gerezani leo, ngoja niwasiliane na wanaokaa naye halafu nitakupigia,” aliahidi Mtiga.

Alipotafutwa tena alisema, “Kwani wewe umesikia nini?” alihoji na kujibiwa kuelezwa malalamiko ya mzazi wa Said. Alijibu kwa ufupi “Ahh! Na kuhoji, kwani wewe umeambiwa yupo gereza gani?” alijibiwa na mwandishi, Keko, alikaa kimya kidogo na baadaye kusema “Ok, ngoja niwapigie nilikuwa nawapigia siwapati. Nitakujulisha” alijibu Mtiga.

Hadi tunakwenda mitamboni afisa huyo hakuwa amepatikana. Wakati huo huo, Baraza Kuu la Jumuiya na Taasisi za Kiislamu (T), limemtaka Mzee Mwinyi kumtoa gerezani kijana huyo aliyefungwa mwaka mmoja kwa kosa la kumshambulia Mwinyi kwa madai kuwa ndiye alimpandisha hasira kwa kuwashawishi Waislamu kutumia kondomu.

Aidha, Baraza hilo limezindua rasmi mfuko maalum wa kumsaidia na familia yake katika kipindi chote cha mwaka mmoja wa kifungo hicho, na Sh600,000 zilikusanya papo hapo.

Tamko hilo lilitolewa katika Baraza la Maulid ya kuzaliwa kwa Mtume Muhammad (S.A.W) lililoandaliwa na baraza hilo na kufanyika juzi ndani ya Msikiti wa Kituo cha Kiislamu Tanzania (TIC) Magomeni jijini Dar es Salaam.

Akisoma maazimio ya baraza hilo yaliyosainiwa na Katibu Mkuu wa Kamati ya Kutetea Haki za Waislamu, Sheikh Ponda Issa Ponda, msemaji wa baraza hilo, Sheikh Salim Khator alisema Mwinyi ana wajibu wa kumtoa gerezani kijana huyo kwa kuwa yeye ndiye alisababisha kifungo chake.

Alisema suala la Waislamu kumsaidia mwenzao aliyepata matatizo ni la lazima na hivyo, wote wanapaswa kuwasilisha michango yao katika ofisi za baraza hilo kwa ajili ya kijana huyo.

“Tunazindua rasmi mfuko maalumu utakaotumika kumuhudumia ustadhi Ibrahim na familia yake iliyobaki nyumbani,” alisema Khator.

Alisisitiza kuwa Waislamu kwa nafasi zao wanatakiwa kuhakikisha kuwa wanaenda mahakamani kumtembelea na kumsaidia Ibrahim kwa hali na mali kwa kuwa huo ndio wajibu wao.

“Tunasisitiza kuwa msimamo wetu wa miaka yote ni kumsaidia Muislamu yoyote atakayepata matatizo akiutetea uislamu.

Waislamu watamtetea na kumsaidia kwa hali na mali bila kumuogopa yeyote,” alisema Khator.

“Tunalaani kitendo cha jeshi la polisi kumtisha na kumkamata Shafiq Rashid kwa kuonyesha nia yake njema ya kumsaidia ustadhi Ibrahim Said,” alisema.

Tamko hilo liliitaka Bakwata kuwaomba radhi Waislamu kwa kuandaa mazingira yaliyosababisha tukio la kuchapwa Mwinyi na hatimaye kifungo kwa ustadhi Said.

Hata hivyo, Mufti ambaye alikwishaomba radhi siku ya tukio, alisema hawezi kuzungumzia suala hilo kwa kuwa hajapata nakala rasmi ya tamko hilo la jumuiya hiyo.

Alieleza kuwa msimamo wa uislamu kuhusu kondomu ni suala linalojadilika kwa wanandoa, lakini kwa waliokuwa hawajaoa au kuolewa ni haramu kuitumia.

Machi 9 mwaka huu, Mwinyi alijikuta anashambuliwa kwa kibao na kijana Said, baada ya kujaribu kuwashawishi Waislamu kutumia kondomu wanaposhindwa kujizuia.

Madagascar yaapisha kiongozi mpya

Andry Rajoelina, mtu aliyemuondoa madarakani Rais Marc Ravalomanana mapema wiki hii, ameapishwa rasmi kushika hatamu za uongozi za kisiwa hicho kikubwa barani Afrika kilicho Bahari ya Hindi.

Maelfu ya wafuasi wake walihudhuria sherehe za kumuapisha zilizofanyika katika uwanja wa michezo mjini, Antananarivo, lakini hata hivyo wanadiplomasia wengi walisusia.

Msaidizi wa kiongozi aliyeondolewa madarakani Bwana Ravalomanana, amesema aliambiwa na mabalozi wa Marekani, Ufaransa, Ujerumani na Muungano wa Afrika, wamemwambia hawatohudhuria sherehe hizo.

Takriban wafuasi 2,000 wa Bwana ravalomanana, imearifiwa wamefanya maandamano mjini Antananarivo katika uwanja wa Demokrasi kuipinga serikali mpya.

Mwandishi wa BBC Christina Corbett aliye mjini Antananarivo amesema upinzani dhidi ya utawala wa Bwana Rajoelina unaoungwa mkono na jeshi, haujamzuia kufanya sherehe ya kifahari ya kuapishwa.

Wasaidizi wa Bwana Rajoelina amesema hawasumbuliwi na juhudi za kimataifa za kuipinga serikali yao kufuatia kuondolewa madarakani Bwana Ravalomanana.

Bwana Rajoelina, mwenye umri wa miaka ambaye aliwahi kuwa disco joka, amesimamisha shughuli za bunge na ameunda serikali ya mpito kukiongoza kisiwa hicho kilicho Bahari ya Hindi.

How to seduce a girl in 60 minutes the Russell Brand way (why not, while he's waiting for a ferry)

Russell Brand has more notches on his bedpost than almost anyone - and here's why.

The comedian gives a perfect demonstration of his pulling power as he seduces a random female while he's waiting for a ferry in Sydney, Australia.

The 33-year-old approaches, chats up and passionately kisses a girl known only as Emma... all in less than 60 minutes.


Russell Brand

Step 1: Russell Brand approaches Emma at Watsons Bay in Sydney Harbour as she waits for the ferry

Russell Brand

Step 2: In skinny jeans and flip-flops, he impresses with his literary criticism


He spotted the attractive blonde at Watsons Bay while waiting for a harbour ferry and with time to kill decided to make friends.

As she sat on the wall reading a book with her fish and chips and a bottle of water, he sauntered over and took a look before appearing to launch into a reading - or at least a discussion on its literary merits.

It definitely seemed to do the trick, because minutes later the presenter was moving in for the kill.

Step 3: Emma appears unable to resist Russell's sense of humour

Step 4: Look no hands, says Russell as he tries to appear unthreatening


He made her laugh - just as well seeing as he is currently touring Australia with his stand-up show - and then they kissed.
He was dressed in casual jeans, white T-shirt and flip flops while his catch was clad in a prettily patterned summer dress.

He eventually left her on the dock to board his ferry, where he made the peculiar decision to strip down to his Y-fronts for the duration of the boat ride.
But if Emma thinks their brief encounter was exclusive, then she may be disappointed.

Step 5: Gotcha as Russell closes in for a kiss

Step 6: Result pulls off the perfect result as he locks lips with his latest conquest


Just days ago Russell was seen frolicking on a Sydney hotel balcony in his pants with a mystery brunette.

And yesterday night he was spotted with another two female admirer draped over him at the Time Out party in Sydney's Ivy Pool club.

Russell left the UK last October under a cloud in the wake of Sachsgate.

And here's some I met earlier: Russell partying last night with another two female admirers at the Time Out party held at Sydney's Ivy Pool club


He quit his BBC show after he and Jonathan Ross left obscene telephone messages for Fawlty Towers actor Andrew Sachs.

The messages, which were broadcast on Radio 2 and claimed Brand had slept with the 78-year-old's granddaughter Georgina Baillie, prompted 42,000 complaints from members of the public.

But the scandal has not stopped him building up his fan base.


Y-fronts ahoy! Russell the exhibitionist treated passengers to the sight of him in a pair of white pants


Last week he turned out for a book signing at store Barnes & Noble in New York and was practically mobbed by adoring fans - male and female.

It came as his autobiography, My Booky Wook, an unflinching look at his sex, drugs and stand-up comic lifestyle, hit U.S. shelves.

And his publicity machine has clearly paid dividends, as hundred of fans swamped the bookstore to hear him read excerpts from the book.

He recently revealed the book will be turned into a film later this year.

Mn'goe Rais wa Somalia - Bin Laden

Osama Bin Laden


Osama Bin Laden katika sauti iliyo rekodiwa na kutumwa kwenye mtandao wa internet, ametoa wito wa kun'golewa kwa rais mwenye msimamo wa kati wa Somalia.

Bin Laden amesema Rais Sheikh Sharif Sheikh Ahmed "amebadilika na kuungana na kafiri".

Bw Ahmed aliapishwa mwezi Januari baada ya mazungumzo ya upatanishi yaliyosimamiwa na Umoja wa Mataifa, na kuahidi kuanzisha matumizi ya sheria ya dini ya Kiisilam, katika nchi hiyo yenye Waisilam wengi.

Hata hivyo kundi la al-Shabab ambalo lina uhusiano na al-Qaeda limeendelea kupigana na rais huyo.

Waandishi wa habari wanasema sauti hiyo, haikuweza kuthibitishwa mara moja ni ya nani, lakini inafanana na ya Bin Laden na imerushwa kupitia mitandao inayofahamika ya wapiganaji.

Wito huo uliorekodiwa kwa dakika 12, na kupewa kichwa cha habari kisemacho "Endeleeni kupigana, mabingwa na Somalia" umeambatana na picha ya Bin Laden na ramani ya Somalia ikionekana nyuma ya picha hiyo.

maadui zetu

Uchaguzi wa kiongozi huyo wa Somalia "ulichochewa na mjumbe wa Marekani nchini Kenya" umesema ujumbe huo.

Aidha, ujumbe huo umeendelea kumtuhumu Bw Ahmed kwa "kubadilika na kuwageuka ili kuungana na kafiri" katika serikali ya umoja wa kitaifa.

"Huyu Sheikh Sharif lazima aondolewe" umesema ujumbe huo, kabla ya kumfananisha kiongozi huyo wa Somalia na "marais wa Kiarabu wanaolipwa na maadui zetu".

Bw Ahmed alikuwa kiongozi wa kundi lijulikanalo kama Mahakama za Kiisilam ambalo lilikuwa likidhibiti mji wa Mogadishu mwaka 2006 kabla ya kutimuliwa na majeshi ya Ethiopia yaliyokuwa yakimuunga mkono rais aliyepita wa Somalia.

Wachezaji Yanga wadai kuhujumiwa

Nahodha wa Yanga Nadir Haroub ‘Cannavaro’ (kushoto) akizungumza na waandishi wa habari wakati waliporejea Uwanja wa Ndege wa Kimataifa wa Julius Nyerere Dar es Salaam jana wakitokea Misri walikocheza na Al Ahly katika mchezo wa Ligi ya Mabingwa Afrika.

Baadhi ya wachezaji wa Yanga wamesema kwamba wanahisi kulikuwa na hujuma katika mechi yao ya kwanza ya raundi ya kwanza ya Ligi ya Mabingwa Afrika dhidi ya Al Ahly ya Misri. Katika mechi hiyo iliyofanyika Jumapili iliyopita mjini Cairo Misri, wawakilishi hao wa Tanzania walifungwa mabao 3-0.

Wakizungumza jana asubuhi kwenye Uwanja wa Kimataifa wa Julius Nyerere baada ya kuwasili kutoka Misri wachezaji hao ambao hawakutaka majina yao yaandikwe gazetini walisema kabla hawajaenda Misri maandalizi yalikuwa hafifu.


“Tunahisi kama ni hujuma ilianzia hapahapa maana kabla hatujaondoka, hata maandalizi hayakuwa makubwa yaani kama vile ilivyozoeleka watu mnapokutana na timu kubwa,”alisema mchezaji mmoja tegemeo wa timu hiyo.

“Maandalizi yalikuwa mabovu wachezaji mara tuhamishwe hotelini tulitoka Lamada tukapelekwa Mwenge tukawa tunalala wanne wanne, mara wengine wasipewe posho kulikuwa na mambo ambayo hatukuyaelewa kabisa,”alisema.

Aidha, mchezaji mwingine ambaye pia huchezea timu ya taifa alisema hata upangwaji wa timu hakuuelewa. “Sikuelewa kabisa upangwaji wa timu kitendo cha Kondic (Dusan Kocha wa Yanga) kushindwa kumpanga Jerry Tegete tangu mwanzo sikuelewa kabisa badala yake alimpanga katika kipindi cha pili na dakika zilibaki chache…


“Na alipoingia tuliona mabadiliko hivyo angeingia mapema ama angeanza pengine tusingefungwa mabao yote hayo, lakini sisi tunamwachia kocha yeye ndiyo mwamuzi wa kila kitu bwana,”alisema mchezaji huyo. Hata hivyo viongozi waliofuatana na timu hiyo hawakuwa tayari kulizungumzia hilo kwani Katibu Mkuu Lucas Kisasa alikataa kuzungumza na waandishi na kuondoka zake.

Badala yake Mwenyekiti wa Yanga Iman Madega aliizungumzia mechi ya marudiano itakayofanyika mwisho wa mwezi huu ambapo hata hivyo alipingana na kocha wake Kondic. Madega alisema kwa sasa wanaisubiri timu hiyo kwa mechi ya marudiano na kuahidi kufanya vyema na kwamba timu inaanza kujifua na kufungwa mechi ya kwanza hakujawakatisha tamaa.

Lakini Kondic alisema mechi hiyo itakuwa ngumu kwao kwa kuwa Al Ahly ni timu nzuri na inafanya vyema zaidi. Kondic ambaye ameonekana kukata tamaa alisema Al Ahly ni nzuri na itakuwa mechi ngumu kutokana na timu hiyo kuwa imesheheni wachezaji wataalamu zaidi.

The real telly tubbies: X Factor failure's 83-stone family claim they are simply too fat to work

They have a combined weight of 83 stone and claim £22,000 in taxpayer-funded benefits on the basis they are ‘too fat to work’.

Yet, incredibly, X Factor failure Emma Chawner's family from Blackburn are demanding more money - because they still can’t afford their calorie-laden lifestyle.

Asked why they don’t simply go on a diet, the jobless Chawner family who are so obese their neighbours call them ‘the telly tubbies’ insist: ‘We don’t have the time.’


Chawner family

'The real telly tubbies': From left, former X Factor contestant Emma, mother Audrey, father Philip and sister Sam Chawner

Emma, 19, famously appeared on the TV talent show in 2007 wearing a wedding-style dress made by her dad.

She was kicked off after the first audition, but not before the family were evicted from their previous house after neighbours complained about her singing at 3am.

Both Philip Chawner, 53, and his 57-year-old wife Audrey weigh 24st. Their youngest daughter, Emma, is 5ft 3in and weighs 17st, while her older sister Samantha, 21, is 5ft 9in and weighs 18st.

They haven’t worked in 11 years, claiming their weight is due to a hereditary condition.

Instead, the family spend their days in front of a television borrowed from a friend.


Chawner family

'Too fat to work': The family turn on the television as soon as they get up

Mr Chawner said: ‘We love TV. It’s on from the moment we get up. Often I’m so tired from watching TV I have to have a nap.’

Yet of their £22,508 a year in tax-free benefits - equivalent to a £30,000 salary - Mr Chawner said: ‘What we get barely covers the bills and puts food on the table. It’s not our fault we can’t work. We deserve more.’

Rais Ravalomanana anakabiliwa na wapinzani wanaotaka aachie madaraka.

Rais Marc Ravalomanana wa Madagascar amesema kuwa yuko tayari kuruhusu kura ya maoni ifanyike kupata ufumbuzi wa mgogoro wa kisiasa unaoizonga nchi hiyo.

Hatua hiyo inajitokeza huku wasi wasi ukiongezeka katika mji mkuu Antananarivo, huku Bw Ravalomanana akiahidi kupuuza wito wa wanasiasa wa upinzani kumtaka ajiuzulu.

Awali wapinzani walitishia kuandamana mpaka makazi ya rais endapo Bw Ravalomanana angekataa kuachia madaraka.

Watu takriban 100 wameuawa tangu kuanza kwa maandamano mwezi Januari.

Bw Ravalomanana aliwaeleza maelfu ya wafuasi wake waliokusanyika nje ya makazi yake kuwa "hatishiki" na wazo la kufanya kura ya maoni.

Yanga Yalala Kwa Al Ahly

Mshambuliaji flavio Amando (kushoto) wa Al Ahly ya Misri akiwa chini ya ulinzi wa kiungo Godfrey Bonny wa Yanga ya Tanzania, wakati wa mechi ya ligi ya mabingwa iliyocheza mjini Cairo.

MABINGWA watetezi wa Ligi ya Mabingwa Afrika, Al Ahly wameanza kampeni ya kutetea taji la kwa kishindo kwa kuisambarati Yanga kwa mabao 3-0 katika mchezo uliochezwa jijini Cairo, Misri.

Mshambuliaji Mohamed Barakat alikuwa mwiba mkali kwa ngome ya Yanga kwa kuifungia Al Ahly mabao mawili pamoja na lile la mapema zaidi katika sekunde ya 44 mwanzoni mwa mchezo.

Mabingwa hao watetezi aliouanza mchezo kwa kasi na kutawala vyema sehemu ya kiungo walipata bao hilo la mapema kwa mshambuliaji wa kimataifa wa Misri, Mohamed Barakat akipokea pasi ya Muhtaz Ino na kupachika mpira wavuni.

Kuingia kwa bao hilo kuliamsha ari ya Yanga ilijibu shambulizi katika dakika ya pili kupitia mshambuliaji wake Bonifase Ambani aliyekosa bao la wazi kwa kushindwa kuunganisha pasi nzuri ya Mrisho Ngasa.

Baada ya kosa kosa hiyo mabingwa hao wa Afrika, Al Ahly waliutawala mchezo kwa zaidi ya dakika 16 Yanga ilifanikiwa kufika langoni kwa Wamisri hao mara moja, huku mashambulizi yao yote yakipitia upande wa kulia na kumpa wakati ngumu beki Amri Maftah.

Kipa Obren Cirkovick ilimbidi kufanya kazi ya ziada kuokoa mpira wa kichwa uliopigwa na Ahmad Bilal katika dakika ya 12.

Mshambuliaji wa kimataifa wa Angola, Flavio alitumia vizuri uzembe wa kipa Obren aliyeshindwa kuokoa kwa umakini krosi ya Barakat na kumkuta mfungaji dakika ya 20 kufanya matokeo kuwa 2-0 hadi mapumziko.

Al Ahly wakionekana wameisoma vizuri Yanga na kutumia udhaifu wa beki za pembeni walipata bao la tatu lilofungwa tena na Mohamed Barakat aliyeunganisha vizuri krosi ya Ahmad Faraj katika dakika ya 53.

Baada ya kuona hali inazidi kuwa mbaya kocha Dustan Kondic alifanya mabadiliko kwa kumtoa Godfrey Bonny, Ben Mwalala na Mrisho Ngassa na nafasi zao kuchukuliwa na Geogre Owino, Jerryson Tegete na Mike Baraza.

Mabadiliko hayo yalirudisha uhai wa Yanga na kufanya mashambulizi mengi na kushuhudia mashuti ya Bonifase Ambani na Nurdin Bakari yakigonga mwamba katika dakika 79 na 80, huku Mike Baraza akikosa bao yeye na kipa kwa shuti lake kupaa juu.

Kwa matokeo haya Yanga sasa inahitaji kushinda mabao 4-0 kama inataka kusonga mbele kwa raundi ya 16 bora msimu huu, matokeo mengine yoyote watabaki na kumaliza hadithi ya Tanzania katika michuano ya kimataifa kwa mwaka huu.

Prince Charles goes nuts for Brazil and shows off his samba during official visit

The last time Prince Charles was confronted with a group of shimmering, semi-naked samba dancers in Rio he famously threw himself into the party atmosphere.

But that was in 1978, when the Prince last visited the city's favelas.

This time, more than 30 years on, he showed a little more reserve, even though he could not resist joining the samba band for an impromptu dance.

Prince Charles

One of the performers, Eris Chocolate, 28, said: 'It means an awful lot to the community the Prince coming here and the community want to embrace him in return.'

Charles's dancing exploits were reminiscent of his first visit to Brazil in 1978 when he took to the dance floor with a Samba dancer during a party staged by the city's mayor at the town hall.

During a speech the Prince referred to his night with the carnival dancer and told the audience: 'On that first visit I can remember dancing a somewhat rudimentary version of the samba with a rather dramatically semi-naked lady here in Rio.

'Thirty years later and prior to this visit the lady concerned has been in touch to suggest a slightly more staid re-run of the Samba. Do I accept the challenge?'

The former Samba dancer who gyrated with the Prince is Pina de Beija-Flora who hung up her sparkling head-dresses and minuscule costumes a number of years ago

She is said to be hoping to attend one of the Prince's engagements in Brazil to give him another lesson.

The Prince

When the royal couple first arrived at the Complexo da Mare, a collection of favelas in Rio, they were mobbed by dozens of the area's residents who were lining the narrow cobbled streets and standing in front of their makeshift dilapidated homes.

Chief Raoni Mentuktire, leader of the South American country's Kayapo Indians,showed her spectacular lip plate to the Prince at Rio de Janeiro's Botanic Garden yesterday - while appearing to size him up for a plate of his own.

She chatted briefly to the royal and urged him to publicise the battle to save the Amazon.

The campaigner had a traditional wooden disc in his lip and has travelled around the world with popstar Sting promoting their fight to save the eco-systems.

At one point Charles picked up a musical instrument and began shaking it in time to the music before heading inside a sports complex run by the Briton who has spent more than eight years helping youngsters who live in the slum area out of a life of crime.

Mr Dowdney, a former amateur boxer, was a masters student studying anthropology who travelled to Brazil to work on a thesis about violence against street kids.

He later became involved in using sport to help the disadvantaged youngsters and in 2000 set up his Fight for Peace centre in the middle of the favela offering boxing training as a means to reach out to the kids.

Mr Dowdney said: 'It's tragic a ten-year-old from the favelas will choose involvement with the drugs trade instead of going to school.

'The big tragedy is we have hundreds of kids dying from gun violence - it's a very harsh life, there's no second chances but we're trying to find them a second chance.

'We say to them, 'Come in and we can get you a job or get you into school'.

'Charles and Camilla toured the centre and watched boxers sparring in a ring and others working out with punch bags and there were also wrestlers practising their moves.

The royal couple also met one of Mr Dowdney's success stories, Roberto Custodio, 21, a light-welterweight boxer on the Brazilian national team who first came to the project aged 14 and developed into a promising boxer who only yesterday returned from a bout in Italy.

The Prince of Wales

During his address delivered at the Itamaraty Palace the Prince praised Brazil's efforts to safeguard the Amazon.

Last summer the country's President Lula launched a global fund to protect the rainforest and combat climate change with officials hoping to raise 21 US dollars (£11bn) by 2021.

At four million square kilometres the rainforest is the world's largest, covering most of the vast Amazon basin but around 14% of it has already been destroyed.

Charles also talked about his contribution to the problem of deforestation.

The heir to the throne's concern for the vital eco-systems led him to set up an initiative in October 2007 to help stop their destruction.

The Prince's Rainforest Project is working to make the natural resources 'worth more alive than dead' in countries where producers are clearing the land to meet a demand for goods like beef, palm oil, and wood.

Wafanyakazi wa misaada wakamatwa Darfur

Wakimbizi zaidi ya milioni mbili wanasaidiwa na mashirika ya misaada Darfur


Wafanyakazi watatu wa shirika la madaktari wasio na mipaka la Medecins sans Frontieres-MSF tawi la Ubelgiji, wametekwa nyara eneo la Darfur nchini Sudan.

Shirika hilo la MSF limesema wafanyakazi wake hao watatu walitekwa nyara pamoja na wafanyakazi wa shirika hilo wenye asili ya Sudan ambao baadae waliachiliwa huru siku ya Jumatano kaskazini mwa Darfur.

Utekwaji nyara huo umetokea baada ya serikali ya Sudan mapema mwezi huu kuamuru kutimuliwa vikundi 13 vya kutoa misaada pamoja na wafanyakazi wa MSF wa Ufaransa na Uholanzi.

Waliamriwa kuondoka baada ya Rais wa Sudan Omar al-Bashir kutakiwa kujibu mashtaka mbele ya mahakama ya kimataifa ya uhalifu (ICC).

Anatuhumiwa kuhusika na uhalifu wa kivita na uhalifu mwengine dhidi ya ubinadamu katika jimbo la Darfur.

Wafanyakazi hao wa kutoa misaada walitekwa siku ya Jumatano jioni wakiwa wameelekezewa mtutu wa bunduki kutoka ofisi zao zilizopo Saraf Umra, umbali wa kilometa 230 katika mji mkuu wa jimbo la magharibi mwa Darfur wa El Fasher.

MSF limesema mateka hao akiwemo muuguzi kutoka Canada, daktari kutoka Italia na mratibu Mfaransa.

Wafanyakazi wawili wa rais wa Sudan nao walitekwa lakini wakaachiliwa huru baadae.

MSF imeeleza haina taarifa zaidi na haitazungumza zaidi kwa ajili ya kulinda usalama wa wafanyakazi wake.

Kwa mujibu wa mwandishi wa BBC wa Afrika Mashariki Karen Allen eneo wanalofanyia kazi mashirika ya kutoa msaada, ni la hatari kwa kukabiliwa na vitendo vya ujambazi.

Video Ya Mkasa Wa Rais Mstaafu Mwinyi Kupigwa Kibao

Thursday, March 12, 2009

Taasisi, wadau watofautiana kupigwa kwa Mwinyi

TUKIO la kijana Ibrahim Said kumpiga kofi Rais mstaafu wa awamu ya pili al-haji Ali Hassan Mwinyi, limepokelewa kwa hisia tofauti na baadhi ya taasisi hapa nchini.

Taasisi hizo ni pamoja na Baraza la Waislamu wa Tanzania (Bakwata), Baraza Kuu la Jumuiya na Taasisi za Kiislamu Tanzania na Umoja wa Vijana wa CCM (UVCCM).

Hali kadhalika baadhi ya watu binafsi waliozungumza na Mwananchi, wamepokea habari za tukio hilo, kwa mitazamo tofauti Kwa upande wake Baraza la Kuu la Jumuiya na Taasisi za Kiislamu, limesema mzee Mwinyi alitengeneza mseto usiolika kwa waislaamu.

Hata hivyo chombo hicho, kimewataka Watanzania kuzingatia ujumbe uliomo ndani ya kibao alichopigwa mzee Mwinyi na si kujadili kupigwa kwake.

Katibu mkuu wa baraza hilo, sheikh Ramadhan Sanze alisema, mzee Mwinyi aliwatengenezea Waislaam mseto usiolika kwa kutumia mafundisho ya dini na siasa kwa namna isiyofaa kidini, katika vita dhidi ya Ukimwi.

"Mzee Mwinyi alishindwa kuyafahamu mazingira yaliyokuwa yamemzunguka na ufahamu wa waumini waliokuwepo.

Hivyo akawatengenezea mseto usiolika na kujaribu kuwashawishi waislaam waukubali," alisema sheikh Sanze na kuongeza: "Katika Uislaam zinaa haina dharura na tumeambiwa tusiikaribie kabisa na sio tusizini.

Lakini kwa uelewa wetu Mwinyi alijaribu kuonesha kuwa zinaa ina dharura na kwamba mtu akibanwa sana anaweza kuzini lakini kwa kutumia kondomu jambo ambalo ni kinyume kabisa na uislaam".

"Kwa maana hiyo ukishaonesha kuwa zinaa ina dharura, basi utakuwa umepingana na uislaam yaani Qur-an na sunna (mwenendo na tabia) za Mtume Muhammad (SAW) ambaye tunasherehekea kuzaliwa kwake".

Hata hivyo Sanze alisema, kondom sio kinga ya Ukimwi huku akirudi katika historia kwa kusema kuwa Ukimwi uligundulika nchini mwaka 1983 kwa kuwa na wagonjwa watatu.

Alifafanua kuwa, watanzania waliijua kondom baada ya kugundulika kwa maradhi hayo lakini cha kushangaza kadiri siku zinavyokwenda maambukizi yanazidi kuongezeka licha ya kuongezeka kwa matumizi ya kondom.

"Kwa hiyo kidini mzee Mwinyi alifanya kosa na hata kitaalamu pia amefanya kosa kwa sababu takwimu zinapingana naye kwamba kondom ni kinga ya Ukimwi," alisema.

Alisema shughuli aliyokuwa akihutubia Mwinyi ni ya waislaam na wala haukuwa mjadala, jambo ambalo kwa tafsiri ya haraka haraka kauli yake ni kama fatwa (hukumu) jambo ambalo lingetafsiriwa vibaya na wasiokuwa waislaam.

Hata hivyo Sanze aliwataka wanasiasa nchini wasome alama za nyakati na kuchagua cha kuwambia waislaam wanapowalika katika shughuli zao.

Kwa upande wake Katibu Mkuu wa Kamati ya Kutetea Haki za Waislaam, sheikh Ponda Issa Ponda alisema, kauli ya mzee Mwinyi inaonyesha kiwango cha juu kabisa cha mmomonyoko wa maadili nchini.

Lakini aliwataka Watanzania kuzingatia ujumbe uliomo ndani ya kofi alilopigwa kiongozi huyo mstaafu na si kujadili kupigwa kwake.

"Cha kuzingatia hapa ni ujumbe uliomo ndani ya kile kibao alichopigwa na si kujadili kupigwa kwake" alisema sheikh Ponda.

Alisema mashirika yanayofanya biashara ya mipira hiyo ya kufanyia zinaa yameanza kuwatumia watu maarufu ikiwa ni pamoja na marais wastaafu ili kuwatangazia biashara zao.

"Mzee Mwinyi ameingia katika mkumbo huo wa kutangaza biashara za mashirika hayo.

Kimsingi anajua kuwa zinaa ni haramu katika uislaam na yeye mwenyewe alithibitisha hayo alipokuwa akihutubia.

Lakini aliamua kuifanyia ‘publicity’ kondom kwa maslahi yake na maslahi ya hao anaowatangazia biashara zao|" alisema na kuongeza:

Lakini baraza hilo likiunga mkono hatua ya Ibrahimu, Bakwata kwa upande wake imesema tukio hilo ni kifedheha na linapaswa kulaaniwa vikali.


Katika taarifa yake, Mufti Mkuu wa Tanzania, Sheikh Issa bin Shaaban Simba alisema kitendo ni cha aibu na uhuni mkubwa.

"Tunapenda (Bakwata) kutoa tamko la kulaani kitendo hiki cha aibu, fedheha na cha kihuni kilicho fanywa na kijana mmoja wakati wa Baraza la Maulid, jijini Dar es Salaam jana (juzi),"alisema Sheikh Simba Alisema Bakwata, imesikitishwa na hatua ya kijana huyo kufanya kitendo hicho kinachopingana na misingi ya ustaarabu.

"Tunaomba radhi kwa mheshimiwa Alhaji Mwinyi pamoja na familia yake na kwa kuwa swala lenyewe hivi sasa lipo mikononi mwa vyombo vya dola kwa uchunguzi, ni matarajio ya kila Mtanzania litaeleweka kwa undani na mtuhumiwa kufikishwa mbele ya haki,"alisema Sheikh Simba.

Kauli kama hiyo, imetolewa pia na Umoja wa Vijana wa UVCCM ambapo pamoja na kulaani tukio hilo, pia umevitaka vyombo vya ulinzi na usalama viimarishe ulinzi kwa viongozi wastaafu na waliopo madarakani, ili mambo kama hayo yasijitokeza tena.

Jumuiya hiyo imesema ulinzi usipoimarishwa, kuna uwezekano wa kutokea kwa tukio kama hilo katika shughuli nyingine zinazoshirikisha viongozi wa kitaifa.

Tamko hilo lilitolewa jana na Mwenyekiti wa UVCCM,Yusufu Hamad Masauni, kwa niaba ya Baraza Kuu la umoja huo linaloendelea na kikao chake mjini hapa.

Masauni alisema kitendo hicho ni cha kihuni, fedheha, utovu wa nidhamu na udhalilishaji wa maadili ya dini zote na utamaduni wa kitanzania.

“Kitendo hicho si tu kwamba kimemdhalilisha Mzee Mwinyi, lakini pia kimewasononesha vijana wa CCM kote nchini na watu wote wanaomfahamu.

Kwa upande wao baadhi ya wananchi, walisema kitengo kilichofanywa na mtu huyo si cha kawaida hata kama aliudhiwa na kiongozi huyo.


Kutoka Tanga Burhani Yakub, anaripoti kuwa Mbunge wa zamani wa Mlalo wilayani Lushoto,Charles Kagonji, ameeleza kusikitishwa kwake na tukio hilo.

Akizungumza na Mwananchi Mbunge huyo alisema tukio hilo ni la kulifedhehesha taifa na akataka uchunguzi wa kina ufanyike ili kujua chanzo hicho.

Kagonji alisema tukio kama hilo ni la aibu kwa taifa hali na kwamba hali hiyo inaashiria kuwa ulinzi ni hafifu.

Jijini Dar es Salaam, wananchi waliwatupia lawama kitengo cha ulinzi wa kiongozi huyo kuwa kimeonyesha udhaifu mkubwa kiasi cha kuruhusu mtu kutoka kwenye umati wa watu na kupanda jukwaani kumpiga kiongozi.

Ashim Shabani wa Sinza alisema kitendo hicho ni cha fedheha kwa maafisa usalama na kuwataka wajipange upya katika shughuli zao.

Curvy Beyonce's corseted dress makes her stand out from the crowd

In the current climate where size zero celebrities are increasingly the norm, Beyonce Knowles has always stood out from the crowd.

But it appears that the singer may be in danger of of standing out a little too much, as the singer donned a sculptural corseted dress which emphasised those famous curves to the point of distraction.

Beyonce Knowles

A woman apart: Beyonce Knowles stands out from her coterie of suited men in a sequinned sculptural dress which emphasised her famous curves

Beyonce, 27, donned the floor length sequinned gown while filming a new video in New York City.

But it was the corseted mid-section - which highlighted her tiny waist and generous hips - that caught the eye, as she marched down a Manhattan street surrounded by a coterie of sharply dressed men in suits.

The structural frock - by Thierry Mugler - was reminiscent of the hip-swelling garments of the Elizabethan era - seen most recently in popular BBC miniseries The Tudors.


Glamorous: The singer wore the stunning gown to film a video to promote her upcoming world tour

Beyoncé stepped out to shoot a concert video to publicise her 'I Am...' tour in New York City on the weekend.

All woman: Beyonce's corseted dress showed off her waspish waist

The video shoot is reportedly going to be used during her upcoming third tour, which kicks off March 26th in Canada, hitting London in June.

Mugler - who closed his couture line in 2003 - will serve as the main costume designer on the tour - with a 58-piece wardrobe for the singer and her dancers is in the making.

Beyonce fell in love with Mugler after viewing his work in the Costume Institute's 'Superheroes' exhibit in May.

Since then she's been pictured in Mugler's motorcycle bustier and metal glove, which also appeared in George Michael's 'Too Funky' video worn by one of the supermodels.

Ever the professional, the singer looked immaculate as ever, with not a hair out of place, as she filmed the promo.

But fans may be surprised to know that in private she drives husband Jay Z crazy, with her untidiness.

She told Ebony magazine: 'I'm a little messy. Oh, yeah. Whenever I'm out in public, I have to be put together.

'When I get home, I rebel against it and I don't want to take care of anything. I drop it. I'm relaxed. I don't have any shoes on. No make-up. My purse is in the kitchen.

'I think that is most difficult thing for him. He's very, very organised. I'm extremely organised when I'm working, and I work so much that when I get home I don't want to think about anything.'

Beyonce Knowles

Immaculate: Beyonce looks immaculate as ever, but admitted that her untidiness drives husband Jay Z crazy

Like friend Gwyneth Paltrow who is married to Coldplay star Chris Martin, she has decided against sharing too much about her life with her hip-hop mogul husband saying: 'I don't know how to talk about it because I don't like to talk about it.

But she did share: 'I have a great example of a great wife, and that's my mother.

'And I have great friends around me that have been married, so I'm lucky to have really good examples. And a great husband.

'The couple married last year, and it seems that Beyonce is now keen to distance herself from life before marriage, after she recently declared that she had never experienced heartbreak - as her relationship with husband Jay Z was her first.

But in 2006 she revealed she had experienced depression as a result of beiong blamed for the highly publicised split of the original Destiny's Child line-up, and the end of a relationship with a long-standing boyfriend she had dated from age 12 to 19 years old.
