Hard Kaur's HipHop Dance Keeps Her Safe in Third

The last two weeks obviously haven’t been Hard Kaur's best. She's been slipping from the ranks ever since her performances with Savio have become average.This week however, she caught the eyes of the judges as she made a "jugalbandhi" type performance. In other words, since this week's theme was modern meets classical, Hard Kaur stepped up her game with a hip hop dance while her partner Savio did a bhangra-style number.

The judges gave her good remarks on the performance. Actress Juhi Chawla spoke in Punjabi to Hard Kaur and told her that she loved the performance, giving her a nine. Vaibhavi Merchant was impressed with Hard Kaur’s hip hop moves and Savio’s bhangra dance. She commented pointing out "The way you move, you were hot." On that note, she gave her an astounding ten. Saroj Khan, who gave her a nine; said with no surprise that Hard Kaur was the best she's seen in the competition.

After the judges made their comments; Hard Kaur received a 28. This was great because she's been giving average performances that didn't put her in the lead. Even though she ended up in third, Hard Kaur still stood on; proud of what she got from the judges. Ram Kapoor, who was eliminated this week despite having a lot of fans; gave Hard Kaur some sweets backstage for her brilliant performance.

There was an unsuspected surprise when item-girl actress Koena Mitra entered the competition as a wild-card entry. She received a 30 for an outstanding performance for her first try. It looks like we'll be seeing a lot from her this season on 'Jhalak Dikhhla Jaa'. Now we want to know what our Hard Kaur fans think of her performance. Do you think that Hard Kaur has made a great comeback after belting out mediocre performances for the last two weeks? Will she survive in next week's round? Give us your love for Hard Kaur!

Model Sarah Hannon Sleeps Through In Flight Sex

Was it the drinks or was it just something in their curry? The gorgeous model Sarah Hannon was on a Kingfisher Airlines Flight with her boyfriend Daniel Melia. After the couple had been drinking, Sarah Hannon fell asleep next to her beau and woke up in a rage.

The couple was flying from Bangalore, India to London when Daniel Melia was caught getting it on with nearby passenger Clare Irby by a Kingfisher employee. The employee started to tell them to stop what they were doing. That's when Sarah Hannon woke up and completely lost it. Rightfully so when she found out that her boyfriend was cheating on her. At 30,000 feet, a large part of the crew had to work to calm her down. Maybe it was the drinks that they had on the Kingfisher flight or maybe it was the curry they ate before they left India that made Sarah Hannon so angry and made Daniel Melia want to get it on.

But that wasn't the end of this cross continental adventure. All three of them: Daniel Melia, Clare Irby, and Sarah Hannon were arrested by armed cops at London's Heathrow airport, when the flight landed. Daniel Melia and Clare Irby were not surprisingly arrested for alleged gross indecency. Meanwhile, Sarah Hannon was held for being drunk on an aircraft. It's lucky for the terrible trio that all three of them were released on bail.

So we wonder if Daniel Melia and Sarah Hannon will end up patching things up despite what happened. And are they ever going to be allowed on a Kingfisher Airlines Flight again? One policeman at least had a sense of humor in the tough situation. He quoted as saying that "They certainly put the bang into Bangalore." Make sure to give us your thoughts, because we want to hear what our readers think about this crazy story.

Michael Jordan Is Finally a Hall of Famer

The greatest player that basketball has ever had is now going to be a Hall of Famer. Michael Jordan, "His Airness" is going to get that day in Springfield, Massachusetts that to us fans is just a formality since we all know how great he is. This is nonetheless great news for not just the greatest basketball player to ever live, but perhaps the greatest player in sports. Jordan, who is now the managing partner of the Charlotte Bobcats, was taken aback at the announcement.

"I don't like being up here for the Hall of Fame because at that time your basketball career is completely over," Jordan said. "I was hoping this day would be 20 more years, or actually go in when I'm dead and gone."

We could go up and down his list of accomplishments, but that would probably another story in its entirety. However, let's highlight the 5 MVP Awards, the 6 NBA Finals MVP trophies, one to go with the 6 titles he won with the Chicago Bulls, 14 All-Star appearances, the Gold Medal he won in Barcelona as part of the Olympic Dream Team, and of course, let's not forget the Jordan brand that turned he and the NBA into perhaps the biggest global sport outside of soccer. You might be wearing a pair of Jordan sneakers right now or a Jordan jersey or a shirt from his popular clothing line. When you think of greatness, think of Michael Jordan.

Other inductees this year will be Utah Jazz great point guard John Stockton, San Antonio Spurs center David Robinson, Utah Jazz coach Jerry Sloan, and in the college ranks, Rutgers women's basketball coach C. Vivian Stringer. The induction ceremony will officially take place during the weekend of September 10-12. While they have all been legendary at what they have done, even they pale in comparison to Michael Jordan.

The NBA is absolutely trying to make strides in developing the game in India in its quest to become the preeminent global sport. While they've made much progress in Europe and the Far East due to stars such as Tony Parker, Dirk Nowitzki, and Yao Ming. They recently just completed their first basketball court refurbishment in Mumbai through the world famous NBA Cares program.

"Social responsibility is core to the NBA's mission and is a key pillar in the League's development in India," said Heidi Ueberroth, the NBA's president of global marketing partnerships.

While India may be cricket-crazy, there is a want for more basketball in their sports scene. There is yet to be an Indian player in the NBA. For most Indians, all they know about basketball is the man that will be inducted this September in Michael Jordan. India Basketball Federation secretary general Harish Sharma believes the sport will grow exponentially in India in due time.

"There is a great appetite for basketball across India and specifically in the Nagpada neighborhood," Harish Sharma said. "Partnering with the NBA to develop more places for children to play basketball is a critical component in the growth of the sport."

Congratulations, Michael Jordan. Like everything else you have accomplished in your glorious career, you have earned this.

What do you guys think about Michael Jordan elected to the Pro Basketball Hall of Fame? Do you think the ceremony should just be about him? Do you think Michael Jordan is the greatest player sports has ever seen? Let us know what you think below.
