Travis Pastrana injured, putting NASCAR debut (latest news updates)

By
This was supposed to be Travis Pastrana's big weekend, "Pastranathon," where he'd pinball back and forth between the X-Games and his NASCAR Nationwide Series debut. And then, well, this happened:Initial reports indicated that Pastrana had broken both his tibia and his fibula, an injury that can take months to heal properly. But Pastrana himself later tweeted that the injury appeared centered on his foot: "I'm on my way to the hospital for x rays, something with my foot.Hey, man," the 9-year-old boy said to Pastrana. "I watch ‘Nitro Circus,’ and I can’t wait to see you start NASCAR."

Pastrana’s eyes widened. He’d never heard anyone mention "Nitro Circus," his daredevil reality show on MTV, and NASCAR in the same sentence.

"The demographics couldn’t be more different, and that’s kind of neat," Pastrana said, recalling the episode.He tweeted Thursday night that he’s “on my way to the hospital for x rays, something with my foot.”

Pastrana is scheduled to make his NASCAR Nationwide series debut on Saturday at Clermont, Ind. He was hurt while competing in the Moto X best trick event in Los Angeles.I feel like I can be safe. Whether or not we are competitive for the $5 million is a whole other question, but definitely working that out and seeing what is possible, what licensing I need to get, and I'd be an idiot not to go for it."

Poonam Pandey "going nude in private with consenting adults for atherapeutic purpose"

By
MUMBAI: Model Poonam Pandey, who has threatened to do a full Monty for the Indian cricket team if the men in blue win, switched off her cellphone on Saturday when India won the World Cup. Sources say the 20-year-old model was being inundated with calls from people either begging her to strip for them or threatening her with dire consequences should she dare go against Indian culture. A defiant Pandey, however, had told TOI on Thursday that if BCCI gives her the permission to strip, she would go ahead with her plans. "Threats don't bother me," she had said. But the model may be facing arrest after R K Pandey filed a case against her in a Bhopal court. The BJP women's wing has also written to the Mumbai police commissioner Arup Patnaik to take action against her. On Friday, Pandey issued a letter to the BCCI about her plans: "I write to you as a great fan of cricket and above all a patriotic Indian. I want India to win the Cricket World Cup 2011, and I am wil...
