Calista Flockhart feels secure in marriage


Calista Flockhart feels more secure in relationship since marrying Harrison Ford because she knows they're both committed to making it work.

Calista Flockhart feels more secure in relationship since marrying Harrison Ford because she knows they're both committed to making it work.

The former 'Ally McBeal' star tied the knot with the 'Indiana Jones' actor last year and says their romance has been enhanced by marriage because she knows they're both in it for good.

She said: 'It made it better, because there's no way out. Well, there is, but it's not one you want to entertain very often. In an argument, I just say, okay, don't turn into a rapid pit bull so much any more.'

While she is blissfully happy with Harrison, Calista - who adopted nine-year-old son Liam just a year before meeting the Hollywood star in 2002 - admitted she was initially wary about their relationship because of their 22-year age gap.

The 46-year-old actress told Sunday Times Style magazine: 'I thought, 'This is ridiculous, he's way too old for me, I'm way to young.' But you can't help who you fall in love with and I fell in love with him. It might be an issue in the future, but, as of now, it really hasn't been.

'I like to tease him about it. I use it against him. He's lived a very long time, you know. He knows everything. I say, 'Yes, honey, you're very old, we know that.' '

Mariah Carey is delighted to have had a positive response from the public since announcing she and husband Nick Cannon are expecting twins next year.
Mariah Carey's faith in humanity has been 'restored' thanks to the good wishes of the general public about her pregnancy.

The 'Hero' hitmaker - who is expecting twins with TV presenter Nick Cannon - had been reluctant to announce her happy news but is glad she received a positive response from fans.

She said: 'Obviously I'm very thankful for this moment. Since Nick and I made our announcement, people have been very congratulatory.

'We didn't really want to talk about this yet, but I'm in the public eye and really didn't have a choice.

'So I'm just thankful I can go through this time and feel a lot of warmth. It's restored my faith in people a bit.'

Nick revealed the pair are expecting twins earlier this month, joking he would probably get 'yelled' at for letting the information go public, despite weeks of speculation.

He said: 'In order for my wife and I to have our life, we need to be up front and I need to be able to share things with you and be real.

'I didn't even tell my wife I was gonna do this. I'm probably gonna get yelled at for not getting permission... We are having twins.'

MIKE TYSON’S SPIRITUAL JOURNEY


By Majed Al-Suqairi

MADINA – Former US heavyweight boxing champion Mike Tyson, who is on a visit to the Kingdom to perform Umrah, Sunday prayed at the Quba’ and Qiblatain mosques.
He also visited the Islamic University and met the university’s president, Dr. Muhammad Al-Oqla, and American nationals studying there.

Tyson was mobbed whereever he went. Large numbers of fans gathered around the hotel where he is staying near the Prophet’s Mosque. Some people waited for hours just to see him and take his pictures.

Tyson had to scurry toward the Prophet’s Mosque for Dhuhr prayers as fans gathered around him in large numbers. He used the Shimagh of one of his companions to cover his head but the fans recognized him and followed him.

“I am happy that I have fans who love me here in the Kingdom, but I hope they leave me alone to enjoy my spiritual moments at the Holy Sites,” he said.
“I couldn’t resist shedding tears when I came to know that I was in one of the gardens of paradise,” Tyson said referring to Arrawda in the Prophet’s Mosque.
Tyson was accompanied by Shahzad Muhammad, head of the Canadian Dawah Association, which organized his visit to Saudi Arabia.

“Tyson became emotional when offering Salam to Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him),” said Shahzad.

“He cried for more than half an hour while standing in front of the Prophet’s grave, raising his hands.”

“He remained in front of the Rawdah for hours praying, reciting the Qur’an and making supplications,” Shahzad said.

Later Mike Tyson went to the Meqat to change into Ihram for Umrah. - Okaz/saudigazette.com.sa
