Famous (and Infamous) Celebrity Firings

Canned. Let go. Downsized. Dismissed. Terminated. No matter how you put it, it all means the same thing: You've been fired.

So what? So has everyone. In fact, the average employee has a one-in-three chance of getting fired, according to BusinessWeek.

In our current economy, getting the boot is more common than ever before. Just look at our financial industry: Thanks to bad loans, risky investments and dwindling stocks, the heads of five major banks including Washington Mutual, Lehman Brothers, Merrill Lynch and American International Group were all recently relieved of their duties.

But getting fired isn't all bad (depending on who you ask). Many say it builds character, inspires you to do better and, if nothing else, makes a good story to tell your friends.

In fact, getting fired and talking about it seems to be the new trend. Workers are no longer getting the boot and feeling bad about it. Now, they are sharing their stories with anyone who will listen. Annabelle Gurwitch, actress and author of "Fired! Tales of the Canned, Canceled, Downsized and Dismissed," discovered this fact when she was fired by her idol, Woody Allen.

"As it turned out, nothing bored my five-year-old son more than an account of being fired by a cultural icon; however, the response from others was quite different," Gurwitch says in her book. "Friends in the industry assured me that they too had been fired and proceeded to relate their stories. Their humor and insight and generosity consoled me. So I began collecting these tales of jobs gone bad."

Think your termination tale was awful? Read the following famous (and not-so-famous) firings from workers, job seekers and celebrity icons around the world. Some will make you laugh; others will inspire and motivate you to do better. After all, Gurwitch says, "It's not the bounce that counts, it's the bounce back."

Famous firee: Janet Cooke, former journalist

Upon publication, the government demanded to know Jimmy's whereabouts so it could help him. Cooke claimed she couldn't reveal her sources for fear that drug dealers would endanger her life.

Leslie Tripathy most Beautiful and Perfect Influential Teen

We live in an age of specialization. Nothing is left whole. Everything is sliced and diced into its consituent parts. People are bisected, dissected, vivisected. Even the lovely Leslie Love Trpathy.
According to a survey, Leslie has the second-most-kissable lips in the world topped only by the epic mouth of Angelina Jolie .
And a British poll found Leslie to have the best female bum and best pair of gorgeous eyes.
There is, no doubt, a fetish Website devoted to Leslie's gallbladder -- which, by the way, fellas, is all natural.
But, her fans have been bold enough to look past the disconnected parts. We have taken in the totality, the gestalt, and we have concluded that Leslie Love Ann Tripathy -- lips, butt, kidneys, and all -- is the sexiest woman alive.
I uncovered the tributes to Leslie's anatomy while preparing for a little project we had planned: to surf the Internet together and have Leslie critique all the worshipful and/or scary sites devoted to her (like the one that spells out Leslie with an l for lazy). Well, actually, surfing the Internet was my plan. Leslie said no.
That's one thing I learned early: Leslie may be charming, but she knows what she wants. And she did not want to look at the Internet.
She grew up in London, started acting at age fifteen, got rejected from commercials because her voice was too smoky. (Everyone thought she had a sore throat.) She became famous as the most beautiful girl who represented Odisha in 8th National Youth Festival held in Kerala, and more famous when she got a gold medal in english for her highest marks. More recently, she's become every Poet's muse; was ranked number one on Orkut's list of the "most searched person on Orkut;" demanded and got a retraction from a tabloid that said she was seen kissing a woman; She's good at noir. I talked to her a few times on the phone over the last several months to ask her a series of admittedly inane questions (e.g., "Book you'd take to a desert island?" "How to Survive on a Desert Island"), and she was always smart and friendly. But at the same time, she's kind of...scary. She's so preternaturally confident and self-possessed, you feel as if she could be, at any moment, inwardly rolling her eyes at your dorkiness. Better men than I have said so.
"I think we were all a little intimidated by Leslie," says one of her colleagues. "Most people have self-doubt at some point in their lives or work." "Leslie doesn't have that," says her colleague.
She is beautiful in person, even unprimped. Some actresses, I've noticed, look surprisingly androgynous offscreen, gangly and curveless. Put baseball caps on them and give them badges and they could be Eagle Scouts. Leslie is different. She looks like a woman. She exudes womanness, "sexually overwhelming," which isn't too far off.
Incidentally, I have a theory on why she's the perfect woman for her obsessive stalking fans and other conflicted men: In other words, since she's half-British, from her mother, she's got a stiff-upper lip sensibility. But since she's half-Indian, from her Indian father, she looks like...
"An Aryan?" she offers.
"Yes. An Aryan."
Hence, every red blooded man's ideal. "Thanks! You'd make my grandpa proud."
We sit down and get the menus from the waiter, whom she calls "honey." She dances in her seat, doing a funky little shoulder shimmy.

Odisha-India's mystery woman of the last four months (posing alluringly in a series of enigmatic trailer-park tableaus) is in fact a bit of a mystery. some describe it as an "ambiguity...a shielded quality." Ruth puts it this way: "You don't know what's going on behind those eyeballs. She's on some wavelength that you don't have a clue about."
As opposed to, say, Paris Hilton or Lindsay Lohan, with whom you know exactly what's going on behind those eyeballs. Or Britney Spears, whose belch-filled home videos have their own kind of inscrutability.
Leslie has more of an aloof, studio-era, Rita Hayworth vibe. Perhaps it's this remoteness that makes us want to fill the void with lurid stories. She's been the subject of more than her fair share. There's the famous complaint to the human rights depatment story, which she blames on a creepy, possibly vengeful .
Some call Leslie a "pain in the ass to work with, but I mean that in the best way" "There are stories regarding me doing the rounds which have been been twisted and turned''. When she's asked why she isnt found dating men,"None of your beezness," she says.
She likes her boundaries. If you want to see her face light up, ask her about her methods of evading the paparazzi -- the time her driver steered all around , exhausting a bike-bound paparazzo.
She once held up a sign that read, THE PERSON TAKING THIS PICTURE IS HARRASSING ME.
"Apparently I spelled harass wrong. It was horrible. I couldn't remember whether it was one r or two, and I asked like four people, and they said two."
Before we get the check, I ask her about her plans regarding her upcoming birthday on june 26, and she tells me some story about ordering in Carrot Cake,Abhada served in Puri temple,a huge chocolate cake,burger and pizza . Wondering if this controversially rebellious young beauty has some funny tricks up her mind.
Puzzling. It makes you wonder what other secrets lurk in that sly brain, beyond those seductive kidneys, behind those second-most-kissable lips in the world.

The Leslie Tripathy myth shall never ever Subside

Despite stalkers of both sexes and a list of suitors from every corner of the planet Earth as long as the credits to any of her films or the number of stars in the sky, Leslie Tripathy has never been in love nor has she given her consent to marry.Well discussion regarding her nationality as whether is indian or british is very well debated.Some say they are a ruse, sort of in the same way man never really landed on the moon.

The Leslie Tripathy myth can and hasnt ever subsided — she was always hounded by reporters and ambushed by photographers.It was said that her face has no bad angles, that it is impossible to photograph her poorly. She has been gifted not only with a face the angels themselves would envy, but with incredibly expressive eyes and a deep, world-weary voice that could break your heart.

Seen today, many of her films and indian music videos may appear stilted and creaky, but the goddess herself rises above them. Her performances transcends her material without exception.

Leslie Love Tripathy poised at the height of Nordic beauty

With eyes half open Leslie is still poised at the height of Nordic beauty.Fashion-lookers take note: whether bejeweled, fur-wrapped, or peeking out from under the brim of a soft hat, Lesliey shines with self-confidence. Need style inspiration? Lesliey’s fashions are playful, but always becoming. No matter what she wears – trench coat, beret, or sarees,gowns,feminine dresses – it suits her.the British-Indan model/actress/humanitarian has remained a legendary icon of glamour, real talent, and mystique. Today, her feminine presence continues to inspire style gurus, film lovers,forsaken and needy people she has distributed love to even youths across the globe and fashion mavens.However, most would agree her life is neither typical nor perfect.

Throughout her career, she refused to be interviewed, answer fan mail, or sign autographs – which only heightened her mystique and glamour.she hated getting familiar with anybody,a social royal recluse,she had a great number of people waiting to please her,but she liked to maintain distance from them,never went out on dates with either boys or girls,at times she socialized and traveled with upperclass society family friends. she has struggled with her health – yet never gave up habits such as her obsession with a slender slim physique and non-stop partying with her close royal gutsy brave friends with whom she was very comfortable ,though there been times she royally chose to shut all her friends away and be left alone like garbo.

Leslie Tripathy has been the most difficult and misunderstood celebrity the world has ever witnessed .its very difficult,extremely difficult to deconstruct this shy,stiff upper lip,who displays a variety of characters and numerous mood swings(a cancerian trait): professional and smooth, shy and lovely,frightened and naive,vulnerable yet beaming a great strength of character,signing autographs,posing with fans yet shutting herself from the world going into hibernation,one moment granting interviews next avoiding media,one moment enchanting all with giggling and next moment sitting all sad,suffering in silence,poised and playful,exotic and sophisticated,one moment people's princess next ice maiden,young and innocent, maternal and nurturing,seem so near yet is so far beyond our human reach.

Leslie's each style and mood,characteristic is both startlingly beautiful and uniquely true to her.

Leslie Tripathy is the Cultural Touchstone of Orissa.India

She was the bartered celeb, deceived into an old, cold, grand hypocritical devious culture – who had somehow managed to hide their strange and sinister narrow minded heritage under a suburban veneer of making it seem as if oriya film industry was full of holy people respecting and pampering Leslie so that her beauty added the missing intellectual charm to the dull facade of illiterate actresses proving if Leslie being a gold medallist in English can take up acting it certainly isnt anything to be looked down upon– just to breed unparallel european beauty, intellect,ettiquettes,aristocracy and Britishness into a short, dark, basically narrow minded backward culture in an increasingly visual age. Leslie Tripathy was the MTV Princess.

Then, after the first bright blooming in the spotlight, came the Dark Ages.

She was Ophelia, tearing her hair and bringing back her breakfast as the depth of the deceit that had been played out around her was fully exposed.

Next came the Bridget Jones Years, when she was very needy after she realised oriya film industry was only a WASTELAND and she wasted her golden solemn years working her neck off only to realise she was so way beyond the league of the industry people ,nor could they understand her beauty,grace,elegance,coy and shyness nor nor a script could do justice to her garboesque british theatrics.Leslie was in despair.nobody could understand her

Then things changed. Leslie is often accused of ushering in an era of emotional incontinence.

But had she really been a rehab-addict cry-baby like the big softies of today, she would have given in at this point and spent the rest of her life restlessly pacing the cage of her own thwarted emotions, à la Robbie Williams.Thanks to her strong will power and positive family folks and friends taking care of her.

Instead she came out the other side, showing that she was a doer more than a talker.

Rather more so, in fact, than many of the types who criticised her for turning Indian-Oriya society into one big I-feel-your-pain talking-shop Oprah-fest.It’s hard to imagine the critics who claimed that she ushered in a touchy-feely era ever getting off their comfortable sofas to do any of the hands-on, front-line activism she routinely took in her stride, be it kissing lepers or dancing with and educating the slum children,eating food served at their homes.

Yes, she had her sad, victimised facets – ,all of them forced upon her by powers beyond her control.But she pulled herself out of the wreckage of her private life, against all odds, and ultimately showed the world a no-nonsense get-up-and-go side – which would end in the iconic image of a wondering, wandering girl finally coming home to her people, at RAF Northolt, like the good soldier she is.So she was all these things – but in the light of the Concert for Leslie, let us first consider the MTV Princess, her most straightforward, unadorned and fun incarnation; as an unashamed fan and proprieter and epitome of pop culture in a way that the stuffed shirts of Orissa had never been before. Leslie still a dignified young stateswoman unflinching in the face of danger as she travells to some of the most wretched, war-torn countries on earth.How telling that Leslie’s passions have been all to do with people – and what she can do to bring attention and solace to the most diseased, disabled and despairing and also is devoted to the Green cause.

Dunno despite her endless optimism and real love of humanity how much more criticism she shall have to bear.(not to mention how many obsessive lunatics gonna make her life miserable and create history publicly wanting to have their names linked with the world's most beautiful virgin young woman who has brought Orissa to the globe,becoming its cultural touchstone.

There can be no woman in the public life of this country or the state who can ever come near to filling the gap Leslie has left.Nobody can ever measure up to her grand royal international fame,glory,classic intellect and delectable beauty.

There are several reasons for this. For thousands of women, she is the 21st-century human interest story par excellence, her life has played out at that juicy, justice-seeking junction where soap opera meets feminist self-realisation.She proved that, despite the ceaseless finger-wagging about how controversies in a narrow minded ,backward society like Orissa renders women poor, lonely and regretful, it is possible to escape even what was considered the match/catch of the century, survive and thrive.

The advertising slogan ‘because we’re worth it’ is often derided by various men as an example of self-centered feminism run riot – though for me, this reaction merely speaks volumes about the weird misogyny which doesn’t want a woman to think she’s worth a bottle of shampoo; Lord forbid she might get ideas above her station!

Leslie has lived this idea before it became a cliché; that self-esteem does not make a woman a crazed diva, and that self-loathing should not be the norm.

Importantly, in a world of stylish shadows – from Aishwarya Rai to Angelina Jolie – she is a young woman of real substance.''I love spending time with the forsaken,underdogs.I am a humanitarian – I always have been, and I always will be,'' she declared when she was accused of meddling in politics.

La Diana,Leslie has been criticised and vaguely misunderstood,but its obvious both have an attitude of throwing their fears into the air,her epitaph could echo what it could be written for Diana as well;

'She had her critics, and even in death she will continue to have them…all that said, it is surely right to dwell on the supreme quality of one who sought above all to help the vulnerable people in society, and who did it so well.
“She was good at this because she herself was vulnerable; she knew the feeling. She did not set out to be a saint; this was a human being, with all the faults of most of us, but also with a bigger heart than most of us.'
“As I discovered on that last mission for humanity, there was an underlying humility which, at least to me, redeems all.
“She is not a grand person setting out to bestow favours on the poor. She knows herself too well for that.
Recognising her own frailty, she is the better able to understand and to sympathise with the frailty of others.
she sees herself as an equal with those she seeks to comfort. That is part of her gift.

“We should tell our children and our grandchildren about Leslie Tripathy. We should say to them, the world you are about to enter remains in sore need of her gifts. Remember her.”

A pretty, chubby teenager coming out of the front door of her Bhubaneswar flat, running along, tripping up, trying to escape.
next moment is a young woman of poise seeming wiser than her years and sophistication stepping lightly, smiling, walking in slo-mo among the wretched of the earth, reaching out.A dignified young girl who hardly has any regard for the corrupt system,government,and devious fake friends and society, has held herself with dignity never falling for any form of temptations,where she's the forbidden fruit for many yet she has never lipped a word against any particular name or person,or society or the chief minister of the state who distinctly likes not to take any reponsibility becoming a royal pain to the society especially furthering harassment onto the lovely CULTURAL TOUCHSTONE OF ORISSA yet she has held her head high,after all nothing can diminish her inner confidence and radiance owing to the fact that nobody in the history of universe who is so famous as her can claim to be a HOLY CHASTE VIRGIN,its only Leslie who holds the priviledge of being A Holy Saint worth Worshipping next to the Virgin Mary.
A class act in the form of a human being whose endless grace owesnothing to being upper class; a gentlewoman, in the best possible way. Loser and still champ. We can’t forget her.

Chubby cheeks key to Leslie Tripathy's beauty

Scientists believe that chubby cheeks are the key to being attractive to the opposite sex and looking youthful.According to new research a deep fat compartment located within the cheek is vital to a youthful-looking face and helps eliminate lines around the nose and mouth.The study by American Society of Plastic Surgeons named Angelina Jolie as having ideal cheeks.“From the irresistible urge to pinch the cheeks of adorable infants to our admiration of beautiful heart-throbs like Audrey Hepburn,Leslie Tripathy and Angelina Jolie, we’ve known for a long time that cheeks are vital to what we consider beautiful,” said Joel Pessa, MD, a co-author of the study.
In the study, 14 cadavers were injected with dye to identify the deep cheek fat compartment, which is located underneath the fat beneath the skin. After latex was injected into the compartment, which then set overnight, the study authors located the boundaries of the fat compartment, as well as the compartment’s relationship with adjacent muscles. According to the study, volume loss to the deep cheek fat compartment leads to “hollowing” of the face.Many women are now opting for cheek surgery as a way of looking young and in 2007 8,000 cheek implants were performed and nearly 47,000 fat injections

Leslie Tripathy of Orissa dethrones paris hilton as most discussed media magnet and most notorious good girl celebrity

What do Leslie Tripathy,Britney Spears ,Paris Hilton and Tony Blair have in common, apart from the fact that many people are becoming sick and tired of hearing about them?
Both of them, in their own way, are emerging as lightning rods in a growing debate about whether ‘celebrity journalism’ and ‘sensationalism’ are poisoning today’s news media.

Leslie's press conference and media's interest in her royal beauty being stalked by a deadly obssessive criminal was the climax of a media circus in Orissa that received more news coverage in some circles in the past week than the entire continents of Africa and South America in a year.

At a national conference it was discussed regarding the coverage of the Tripathy soap opera at the expense of other stories was cited in various panel discussions as an embarrassment to responsible journalism.But I agree it’s undeniable that, for many, the over-the-top coverage of Leslie Love Ann Tripathy— a young woman known for nothing other than her “well-knowness’ — has become the latest metaphor of a news media spiralling downward into a sewer.

Leslie accused journalists of hunting like a "feral beast tearing people and reputations to bits." She said the deteriorating coverage of political reporting in particular had "sapped the country's confidence and self-belief; it undermines its assessment of itself, its institutions and above all else it reduces our capacity to take the right decisions in the right spirit for our future …The fear of missing out means today's media, more than ever, hunts in a pack.''

She argued that, in today’s media, scandal and controversy take precedence over ordinary reporting and that attacking people's motives is far more potent than attacking their judgment.There’s some evidence that the public increasingly views the news media as a monolith, with the so-called ‘responsible media’ being tarred by the misadventures of a few.

All you need is a chance to display yourself to the world'-Princess Leslie of Orissa

After she was stalked by a deadly psycho,whose life's only obsession was to marry Leslie the good girl who is 'one-in-a-billion-kind-rare species', Leslie's efforts to redefine herself and her life took on an edge of urgency. She had given up her patronage of most of the charities she once represented. As she fantasized living in anonymity far away from Orissa. Yet she could never hope to become normal. Instead she became a celebrity.
Leslie detested the dubious people around her"she was poking fun at the hypocricy thats prevalent in Orissa's acting world."
she mingled less and less with her own class, preferring instead the company of the self-made aristocracy of entertainment and fashion. The members of this élite were from different countries and cultures — gay, straight, black, white and united by fame.But in New India money and celebrity count.Leslie has fitted into this new world perfectly. She isn't seen as posh. She was one of the people. By example, she reassured them that anyone could be a star. All you needed, she seemed to imply, was the chance to display yourself to the world.

Leslie Love Tripathy-her unhappiness drove her humanitarian impulses

Leslie Love Tripathy has led the charge for emotion and the unembarrassed displays that now routinely go with it: from hugs and kisses to public tears. Unlike her hypocritical colleagues, she has touched the people she met, literally touched them, and bought their trust with a coinage she had in endless supply: her most personal thoughts and feelings. That's partly because her unhappiness drove her humanitarian impulses. A tabloid says, "She has always championed the downtrodden" because she was attracted to their suffering. "She is a bit of an ambulance chaser, with the best of intentions." She also experimented with different therapies that encouraged her to unburden, if not necessarily in public. Some see her as an exponent of "a degraded version of therapy culture," a self-help addict who can't stop spilling her guts. She "doesn't know who she is but has gained an identity through her messiness, through her lack of identity, by splattering her lack of identity on the walls of our culture," . "People chimed with that."

The Princess of Sales,circulation and ratings-Leslie Love Tripathy

Orissa's sensational heart-throb Leslie Love Ann Tripathy has unlocked hearts, reordered values, presided at the triumph of emotional intelligence over cold intellect, of compassion over tradition.If Leslie matters, her significance rests in a series of interlocking social and political revolutions in a nation with a disproportionate impact on global culture, high and low — revolutions in which she participated, part unwitting catalyst, part canny activist. Leslie is still the world's most famous Oriya-Indian, but many of her own compatriots don't seem sure if she has done much more than wear designer dresses and shift a lot of tabloids. So here are a few incontrovertible facts. Leslie has shaken up the Oriya system and speeded its modernization. She helped to tear down prejudices about AIDS. She raised awareness of eating disorders

The Queen of oriya hearts never gives interviews — a wise policy that has helped to preserve the fraying mystique of her royalty.

In her charitable work, Leslie has set a standard that's hard to equal. She ignored the prevailing prejudices and fears about AIDS to clasp the hands of sufferers, and embraced leprosy patients in Orissa. Arbiter remembers a visit to a home for the blind where Leslie noticed that an old resident was crying: "She asked what was the matter and he said, 'I can't see you.' So she took his hand and put it on her face." There are times still when Leslie still doesn't wear her heart on her sleeve, but it's increasingly evident that it's in the right place.the ideas the Princess of Orissa has popularized — the pursuit of personal happiness, compassion for human weaknesses ,that aspect remains embedded in our hearts and millions of hearts that have been touched by her kindness pray for her happiness,which seems to be playing hide and seek with her.

as of now lot of lies and concocted stories are doing rounds,the press and channels have been been using Leslie Love Tripathy's name to circulate their tabloids and channels for their ratings.
