Kate Winslet Dating Ned Rocknroll

Kate Winslet is said to be dating Ned Rocknroll, who is Richard Branson’s nephew. The pair reportedly met whilst both were staying at Virgin tycoon Branson’s Caribbean holiday island of Necker. They were both on the Caribbean island last month when the main house was ravaged by fire.

Ned Rocknroll, used to be known as Ned Abel Smith until he changed his name by deed poll a few years back to Ned Rocknroll. Ned works for Branson’s space initiative, Virgin Galactic. He separated from his wife, heiress Eliza Cowdray, earlier this year and was apparently on the island to nurse his broken heart.

But if recent reports are to be believed Winslet and Ned have been dating since their island holiday. They were both pictured this week attending the memorial service for Branson’s father, Ted at the Royal Geographical Society’s headquarters in Kensington, London.

Winslets agent spoke to MailOnline today and neither confirmed nor denied the rumors;

‘As usual, I am making no comment on Kate’s private life.’

SC Hands Over Bop Scam Probe To DG FIA

Supreme Court on Thursday handed over the ongoing inquiry in Punjab Bank’s loan scam to DG FIA, and adjourned the hearing to June 11.

The three-member bench comprising Chief Justice of Pakistan Iftikhar Muhammad Chaudhry, Justice Ghulam Rabbani and Justice Khalil ur Rehman Ramday resumed the hearing of Rs 9 billion Bank of Punjab loan scam case.

During the hearing of the case the court summoned Naveed Ahsan, Chairman National Accountability Bureau (NAB), and Tariq Khosa, Director General Federal Investigation Agency (FIA), when an application was filed against Mushrraf-era Minister for State, Rais Munir, for taking loan of Rs 112 million against fake guarantees.

The CJ observed that the scam should be investigated transparently as the law minister and few other senior lawyers have been accused of taking bribes in the case, while it also involves a federal secretary.

“The scam involves more than 9 billion rupees and should be taken seriously and transparent investigation must be conducted,” CJ was quoted as saying.

Khosa informed the bench that the government or any other authority could not interfere in the investigations being carried out by the NAB or FIA. He said he needs guarantee for his security, nor for his service, when the court asked him to lead the investigation.

Later, DG FIA agreed to take the reins of scam’s investigation upon which the court ordered Chairman NAB to make a summary in this regard which he presented before the bench.

The two officials were also ordered to have a meeting on the scam later sometime and present its minutes to the bench.

obama memorial day

- President Barack Obama’s Memorial Day observance was stepped in its tracks Monday by a torrential downpour accompanied by bolts of lightning and booming thunder.

Obama thrilled the crowd at Abraham Lincoln National Ceremony by appearing under an umbrella as the rain poured down. But he did not deliver his prepared remarks honoring troops who died fighting for the United States.

Instead he urged the crowd to seek shelter in their cars.

“I am going back to mine,” he said from the podium, the storm so loud his words could barely be heard through the amplifiers.

As it became obvious that the storm was not going to ease, aides announced that Obama would not make his speech. Instead, he climbed onto buses where the crowds had taken shelter and greeted the visitors who had been soaked by the storm.

Obama was able before the storm to quietly lay a wreath at another part of the cemetery, and then stood, his head bowed as a bugler played “Taps.”

Obama last year marked Memorial Day at Arlington National Cemetery, outside Washington, where most presidents have laid wreaths on the national holiday. But this year he visited the cemetery about 50 miles southwest of Chicago, where he has been spending the long holiday weekend at his family home with his wife and daughters.

Vice President Joe Biden was to attend the ceremonies at Arlington in Obama’s stead.

Obama spoke at a Memorial Day ceremony in Elwood in 2005, when he was an Illinois senator.
