| Designer Galliano suspended from Dior Posted: Christian Dior has suspended star fashion designer John Galliano pending an inquiry into allegedly anti-Semitic remarks. Galliano was escorted home by French police after a drinking session that ended with him hurling insults at a couple, according to a police source.  John Galliano "Dior affirms with the utmost conviction its policy of zero tolerance towards any anti-Semitic or racist words or behaviour," Dior chief executive Sidney Toledano said in a statement. "Pending the results of the inquiry, Christian Dior has suspended John Galliano from his responsibilities," the fashion house said in the statement. But Galliano's lawyer Stephane Zerbib has said the designer "formally denies the accusations of anti-Semitism made against him". Galliano "is not at all in this state of mind (and) will explain later," he said, adding that "legal action will be taken against those making such accusations." John Kaun?

| Palin's dirty nude secrets revealed Posted: Tell-all by former Alaska governor's ex-aide talks about her silent marriage, husband's reaction to nude photos and her fake letters More intimate secrets of Sarah Palin's marriage emerged yesterday in the tell-all book by a former aide. They include the revelation the former Alaskan governor and her husband Todd "don't talk", she walks around their home in an open bathrobe and his laughter over a doctored nude photograph.  According to the book, Palin would often walk around the house with her robe open A draft manuscript of Frank Bailey's In Blind Allegiance to Sarah Palin: A Memoir of Our Tumultuous Years, has been leaked. It claims she wrote fake letters to newspapers in the name of supporters praising her "leadership and ethics". Palin confided in Bailey about personal family matters, writing in one e-mail, "We're not like normal couples, Frank. We don't talk." Bailey also alleges that Todd accessed her e-mails without her knowledge, and if he saw something that worried him, he would call Bailey with his concerns. Bailey claims Palin drafted letters to newspapers during her run for governor and sent them in under supporters' names. Bailey reveals a doctored pornographic photograph sent to Palin's campaign which showed the candidate's head on top of a nude body was greeted with laughter by her husband. "He laughed in his quiet Todd-way and said, 'Well she walks around the house with her robe open and with all those windows we have, well, you know." "In the book Bailey added, "Her image is micro-managed and she has no interest in reflecting the truth when it might tarnish, even a smidgeon, her gloss." Namaste India Palin is scheduled to speak at the India Today Conclave in New Delhi on March 19. Some of the media said, "She will be the only American politician attending the conference, which is stacked with Indian and Pakistani officials, business leaders, public figures and entertainers."

| Libyan rebels face guns and grenades Posted: Gaddafi militia opens fire on defiant protesters as they prepare to fight for Tripoli to the death Militias loyal to Moammar Gaddafi opened fire yesterday on protesters streaming out of mosques and marching across the Libyan capital to demand the regime's ouster, witnesses said, reporting at least four killed.  Libyan anti-regime demonstrators in front of a burnt police station in Tobruk yesterday. Protesters hold a caricature depicting Libyan leader Moammar Gaddafi  In rebellious cities in the east, tens of thousands held rallies in support of the first Tripoli protests in days. In the capital's Souq al-Jomaa district, protesters came under fire from gunmen on rooftops as they tried to march to Tripoli's central Green Square, several miles away. "There are all kind of bullets," said one man in the crowd. One witness reported seeing three protesters killed in Souq al-Jomaa, and another reported a fourth death in the district of Fashloum, where another rally was trying to march to the center. The reports could not be immediately confirmed. Gunmen opened a hail of bullets on thousands heading toward the center from Tajoura. "We can't see where it is coming from," he said. "They don't want to stop." The call for regime opponents to march from mosques after prayers was the first attempt to hold a major anti-Gaddafi rally. In the morning and night before, SMS messages were sent around urging, "Let us make this Friday the Friday of liberation," residents said. The New York-based Human Rights Watch has put the death toll in Libya at nearly 300, according to a partial count. Asked about alternatives in the face of growing unrest, Gaddafi said, "Plan A is to live and die in Libya, Plan B is to live and die in Libya, Plan C is to live and die in Libya." Armed young men with green armbands to show their support of Gaddafi set up checkpoints on many streets, stopping cars and searching them. Tanks and checkpoints lined the road to Tripoli's airport, witnesses said. Several tens of thousands held a rally in support of the Tripoli protesters in the main square Benghazi. "We will not stop this rally until Tripoli is the capital again," said Omar Moussa, a demonstrator. "Libyans are all united. Tripoli is our capital."
