Whitney Houston Returns to UK After 10 Years for Concert Tour

After releasing a highly successful single 'I Look To You', Whitney Houston is set to visit the UK after almost ten years. Publicists announced that the diva will be touring 5 UK cities starting April next year for the much-awaited comeback of Whitney Houston in the concert scene. The exact venues has yet to be revealed. Well, this is a refreshing news after the UK tour of Michael Jackson left British fans sad.

Whitney revealed that this is her "first full since the My Love Is Your Love tour in 1999" and she's terribly excited to give good music to her millions of fans in the UK. Whitney is set to promote this concert tour in a UK talent show X-Factor this Sunday (October 18). Her tour will start in Manchester on April 8 2010 and it will move to Glasgow, Birmingham, Newcastle and London. European fans will also be delighted to know that Whitney Houston will also be having a concert performance in Germany, Switzerland, Austria and Belgium. Good luck to the original diva and we hope to see more of you soon. Hope you still got the pipes to go head-to-head with newer divas like Beyonce, Lady Gaga and the incorrigibly timeless Madonna.

Barack Obama is 2009 Nobel Peace Prize Winner

US President Barack Obama has once again made history as he was awarded the prestigious Nobel Peace Prize for 2009 on October 9 (Friday). As the first African American to break the color barrier in the White House, the Nobel committee based in Norway thought that Obama with "his extraordinary efforts to strengthen international diplomacy and cooperation between peoples" deserved the Peace Prize award this year.

President Obama bested 172 people and 33 organizations who were nominated for the 2009 Nobel Peace Prize and he was the fourth US president to receive this award. In his still short term as US president, Obama has already responded to the difficult issues like the economic slowdown to Afghanistan and Iraq affairs. Here is the CNN reportage of President Obama being the 2009 Nobel Peace laureate.
