Supermodel Naomi Campbell’s Bollywood début in the film Karma, Confessions and Holi opened to vicious reviews and a religious backlash. Hindus accused it of insensitivity and trivializing their beliefs.  

The 110 minute drama was filmed in New York and New Jersey and is co-produced by Robert De Niro’s daughter Drena. The plot involves a couple living in New York. The President of Universal Society of Hinduism came down hard on the film saying... “Hindus have strongly objected to the usage of Hindu terminology in movies and Karma, Confessions and Holi has nothing much to do with karma or Holi”.

P&G scientists are leading a project that hopes to isolate the DNA components that contribute to age wrinkles. They have identified close to 700 genes that are potentially involved in the process.

Dipping onto the knowledge provided by the human genome project that has identified over 20,000 human genes so far, they hope to move beyond potions and lotions to reverse the effects of aging. 

Dr. Jay Tiesman, a principal scientist at P&G Beauty, feels they are now have a much better understanding of the underlying genetic causes which could ultimately lead to prevention and even the resetting of the aging clock.
