the award is “amazing” but added, “I’ve visited the schools that are benefiting from tonight, and they’re incredible places and they need help and they need funding, so that’s the real reason we’re here.” Past recipients of the award include Sir Elton John and Kylie Minogue.
Sharon Osbourne has double mastectomy Sharon Osbourne says she had a double mastectomy after learning she carries a gene that increases the risk of developing breast cancer. Osbourne told Hello! magazine that “I didn’t want to live the rest of my life with that shadow hanging over me.”
The 60-year-old “America’s Got Talent” judge, who had colon cancer a decade ago, said that without the surgery, “the odds are not in my favor.” She added: “It’s not ‘pity me,’ it’s a decision I made that’s got rid of this weight that I was carrying around.”
The magazine went on sale Monday. Osbourne, husband Ozzy and children Jack and Kelly became rock’s most famous clan thanks to reality show “The Osbournes” a decade ago. Jack Osbourne, 26, was recently diagnosed with multiple sclerosis.

Britney Spears in talks to write new novel Following in the footsteps of Lauren Conrad and Nicole “Snooki” Polizzi, Britney Spears is poised to fictionalize her life in a novel. Spears’ rep confirmed that she’s “having discussions” with It Books, an imprint of Harper Collins. The pop star’s tome would be similar to Conrad’s best-selling L.A. Candy trilogy, which is about a teen who moves to L.A. and finds herself starring in a reality series, or Snooki’s A Shore Thing, the story of two gals who spend the summer partying at the Jersey Shore. Although Spears’ book would mark her first roman a clef, it surprisingly would not be her first time as an author. Spears wrote a non-fiction book called Heart to Heart about her rise to fame and her relationship with her mother Lynne Spears in 2000, and a children’s book called A Mother’s Gift in 2001 about a poor girl from Mississippi who attends a fancy performing arts school. “The X Factor” judge’s new novel could be a chance for her to continue the story she started in her 2000 song “Lucky.” The music video shows a Hollywood star named Lucky who is adored by the masses, yet feels isolated and alone in her personal life. Whether she goes with the “Lucky” storyline or not, Spears won’t have a shortage of material to use for her new project.

Bali Post DENPASAR - Contribution of the agriculture to the economic growth of Bali in the third quarter of 2012 occupied the lowest position. The Bali’s economic growth reaches 6.79 percent in this quarter predominantly driven by construction sector at 5.30 percent.
“The growth in the agricultural sector is only 0.04 percent due to decline in the harvested area of some commodities. Among others, the harvest of corn, green beans, sweet potatoes and rice reaches 30.99 percent,” said the Head of Central Statistics Agency (BPS) of Bali, Gde Suarsa, Monday (Nov 5). He said the decline in harvest-
ed area of several commodities was affected by prolonged dry season. Meanwhile, the growth in the construction sector during the period was still caused by the development of infrastructure in the effort to shore up the implementation of APEC Conference next year. “The infrastructures under progress are in the form of
airport renovation as well as construction of the Dewa Ruci underpass and toll road on the waters planned to be completed in May 2013,” he said. He added that in general the Bali’s economy grew well, but it showed a slowdown in the third quarter of 2012 compared to the previous quarter of the same year. In the previous quarter, the q to q GDP
growth was recorded to reach 2.81 percent, while in the third quarter of this year the Bali’s economic growth slowed to 2.49 percent. “This slowdown happens due to slower growth in almost all the components, except for the Gross Domestic Fixed Capital Formation (PMTDB),” he said.
