Father’s Day 2008, Father’s Day Celebration, Cards, Gifts
Fathers Day celebrations have gained immense popularity across the globe. No one, who loves one’s father immensely and selflessly, would let Fathers Day go by. Each one of us wants to make an effort on this day to let the special person know, ‘how much he is cared for, loved and needed’. This is the very reason why, and it is fast catching up with Valentine’s Day and Halloween. However, though it is by now a global festival, interestingly enough, Fathers Day across the globe is celebrated at different times of the year in different countries.
Fathers Day is celebrated on more than nineteen different days of the year. While the Fathers Day celebrations take place in Germany on Ascension Day, it is celebrated on the last Sunday of September in Australia and New Zealand. Austria, Ecuador, Belgium usually celebrates Fathers Day on the second Sunday of June. The second Sunday of August brings Fathers Day for Brazil and the second Sunday of July is Fathers Day in Uruguay.
The day most widely chosen by a number of people, remains to be the third Sunday of June. In 2008 Father’s Day falls on the 15 June. Among the countries celebrating this day are USA, Switzerland, France, UK, Greece, India, Argentina, Cuba, Malaysia, and more. As in all other years, Fathers Day 2008 will also be held at different times of the year across the other parts of the globe. In Australia and New Zealand, Father Day 2008 will be celebrated on the first Sunday of the month of September and going by the exact dates, it will be on 7th September.

Celebrities Now are the Stars of Literature
Celebrity Books: Who’s Next and Why We Buy
By Nick Krimp
The public seems obsessed with celebrities, and those entering the celebrity books arena endear themselves to fans even more. Film, music, television and sports stars who publish books show us everything from how to copy their hairstyles and fashion choices to how to become better parents and teach our children. There are even books by celebrities who tell us how to manage a boyfriend, or how to cook for one once trapped. As if the beloved superstars are known to date singularly and stay married forever.
Still, we follow the every move of our stars, often discussing what celebrity authors disclose in their books as if they’re our dearest friends. We embrace stars as though they’re a real part of our daily lives. It all begs this question: Why?
It’s only natural that we’d get pulled into their well-publicized dramas. Pop culture stars summon our most human yearnings: to love, admire gossip and immolate.
It’s difficult to accurately define, but it’s their charisma that attracts the audience to their lives, both public and private. Charisma refers to a seemingly “supernatural” or uncanny ability to charm, lead, influence, inspire, and/or persuade others. This particularly refers to a quality in some who easily can attract the attention and admiration – or even hatred – of others through a “magnetic” personality or appearance.
