INACREDITÁVEL
À espera de uma menina, Fernanda Serrano recebe o carinho da família
A actriz teve de adiar a estreia da peça ‘Viva La Vida’, baseada em Frida Kahlo, já que agora não pode submeter-se ao esforço que os ensaios exigem
Fernanda Serrano está feliz. Se em Novembro último já tinha tido razões para sorrir, quando anunciou publicamente que terminara com êxito os tratamentos para combater o cancro da mama, agora a actriz está ainda mais contente: Fernanda espera o terceiro filho, uma menina, cujo nascimento está previsto para Junho. Uma gravidez inesperada para a actriz e para Pedro Miguel Ramos, mas que os deixou muito felizes. No entanto, a actriz, que já fez a amniocentese e ficou a saber que está tudo bem com a bebé, precisará de cuidados médicos redobrados, não só pelo facto da gestação se seguir a uma tumorectomia e aos tratamentos de rádio e quimioterapia, mas também pelo facto de ter engravidado apenas nove meses depois da sua segunda cesariana, quando o corpo ainda não está recomposto. Mas, no meio de tudo isto, há uma boa notícia: o tumor não era hormonodependente, o que quer dizer que a gravidez não deverá aumentar o risco de reincidência. Mais um motivo para sorrir, como mostrou no dia em que foi fotografada perto de casa com o marido, exibindo já o novo visual com extensões.

Heath We miss you:(
Last year's Oscar nominations day was tragic. This year's was bittersweet.It was exactly one year ago Thursday when Heath Ledger was found dead in a New York apartment, just hours after the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences had announced its nominees. Outside the Soho building, a makeshift memorial of flowers and candles quickly accumulated.The academy paid its own tribute to the actor Thursday by nominating him for best supporting actor, honoring his mad, incendiary performance as the Joker in "The Dark Knight.""Today was the day," said Josh Brolin, who last year was celebrating the Oscar success of "No Country for Old Men" when the news on Ledger broke. "It was a very sad day. I knew Heath loosely. I think it's a great performance. It's a very bittersweet thing.""The Dark Knight" earned eight nominations in total, but was shut out of other major award categories. Ledger's nomination, though, came as expected.Ledger, who died of an accidental overdose of prescription drugs at the age of 28, was nominated along with Brolin ("Milk"), Robert Downey Jr. ("Tropic Thunder"), Philip Seymour Hoffman ("Doubt") and Michael Shannon ("Revolutionary Road").Many expect Ledger to win when the awards are handed out Feb. 22, which would make him only the second actor to posthumously win an Oscar following Peter Finch in 1976's "Network."Sarah Jessica Parker Tackles Marriage Rumors
Sarah Jessica Parker and husband Matthew Broderick know how to mix business and love. On Thursday night, they turned a visit to Broadway into a romantic evening – complete with hand holding and downplaying rumors that their marriage is in trouble. After watching The American Plan, a play starring Mercedes Ruehl and Lily Rabe, Parker told PEOPLE, "It was really lovely."Parker, looking divine in a polka dot dress, white coat and spiky black heels, also gracefully addressed recent reports that she and Broderick were close to splitting. Pressed by reporters about the rumors, she said, "We don't even bother to address them." She added that the best part of being married is "being married." Defending their relationship wasn't the only thing on their minds, however. The couple attended the play to support the director David Grindley, who will begin rehearsals for The Philanthropist, another Broadway play, with Broderick in six weeks. As for the news that a sequel to Parker's hit movie Sex and the City is a done deal, Parker coyly told PEOPLE, "that's what I've heard but I wouldn't say that is the most official thing you'll ever read."

CHILD SOLDIER
Abduction
In Uganda, child soldiers who escape their captors are brought to a rehabilitation centre in Gulu, where Anna Kari photographed their life and spoke to one of the boys.
Eighteen-year-old John (not his real name) is one of the ex-soldiers at Gusco, who knows personally how hard it is to integrate back into the community. He was abducted twice.
“Before I was abducted I was a happy school boy, I had five sisters and one brother.”

“Before I was abducted I was a happy school boy, I had five sisters and one brother.”
Cooking and cleaningAt the Gusco centre, John and the other children take part in cooking and cleaning.
They have group therapy sessions, play music and watch films – as they readjust to civilian life. Thousands of children have been forced to become soldiers in the 18-year war.
“When I and my brother were abducted, I knew exactly what was going to happen to us: We used to hear about the LRA in the village, about how they abduct and torture children and force them to abduct rebels."
Brother killed
“They trained us as soldiers. I was in so many battles I don’t even remember the number.”
John’s brother was killed while with the LRA.
The rebels used to tell the children that if they ran away the Ugandan army would kill them, or they would be poisoned.
“One day we were resting after a fierce battle, it was raining and everyone was very tired. I started to think about home, about my friends… I just couldn’t take it any more, and I just got up and started to walk away.”

Cleansing ceremony
Nobody followed John, and to his surprise the Ugandan army soldiers who eventually found him did not kill him, but took him to Gusco.
Three years after he was abducted John returned home again: “I went through a traditional cleansing ceremony, and after that my family and neighbors welcomed me home.
“But there were other people who shouted, ‘You killed my mother, you killed my father.’ I tried to tell them that I didn’t want to go, that I was abducted.”

Death sentence
John started in a technical school to become a carpenter.
“At first it was hard, the other students would call me nasty names, and it brought back the memories, so I isolated myself. But slowly things got better and I started to get friends.”
But two year later in the middle of the night, John was abducted again.
“I was so scared, because there is only one punishment for running away from the LRA, and that’s the death sentence.”

Lucky
The rebels dragged him along - beating him - and discussed how best to kill him.
But John was lucky. An LRA superior decided to keep him alive, because he was well educated and an experienced soldier.
“I could only think about running away again. But now they didn’t trust me and they watched me all the time.”
A few months later he was lucky again. During a battle he was shot in the hip. The rebels left him behind. Now he is back at Gusco again, with the leg in plaster.

Protection“I think a lot about what happened to me, but the memories become less and less every day, and I still hope that one day I will forget about it.
“I am looking forward to going home and start school again, but I don’t think I will ever walk properly again.”
John says he feels safe at Gusco, which was started by local people and is supported by Save the Children.
“We are fed well and we are treated well. Every night soldiers come to protect us, in case the LRA come for us.”
Happy to be alive
“I hope the war ends soon,” John says - although he thinks his family will take years to recover as are they are displaced with no livestock.
“I don’t have any big dreams for the future. I just want to finish studying and get a job.”
With one of his few smiles he adds: “I am very happy… I have come back alive.”
John recently returned home, and will be returning to his studies.

Joaquin Phoenix: From Oscar Nominee to Rapper
After announcing his retirement from acting in October, Joaquin Phoenix made his first public foray into the music world Friday, saying he was ready to put his real self out there and not hide behind movie characters. "This is me saying this is who I am. This is my story," the actor-turned-aspiring rapper told PEOPLE before taking the stage at Las Vegas club LAVO. For the skeptics, Phoenix says he's serious about his new line of work. Music, he told PEOPLE, is his real love. "After all the years of reading scripts and reading lines, this is my chance to do something straight from the heart and put it out there," he said. And why hip-hop? "When I was young I liked punk rock music but then I discovered rap. I love the storytelling aspect of hip-hop." With brother-in-law Casey Affleck (who's married to Phoenix's sister Summer) capturing the action for a documentary about his journey into the music world, Phoenix took to the stage and performed three songs from his upcoming yet-to-be-titled album.

COVER SNEAK PEEK: Patrick Swayze Vows to Fight On
Patrick Swayze and his wifePatrick Swayze has a message for anyone who thinks he's at death's door: Not so fast. "I am alive and plan on continuing to stay that way," the actor, 56, tells PEOPLE in its new cover story. Hospitalized for pneumonia on Jan. 9, Swayze was forced to cancel his appearance at the Television Critics Associaton press event to promote his new A&E series, The Beast. He says he knew something was wrong earlier that morning when a persistent cough wouldn't go away. "It made me suspect there was a possibility of some kind of infection," he says. "I wanted to jump on it before it turned into a problem. As soon as I got home, I called my doctor and then went straight to the hospital and was immediately put on antibiotics." How is he doing now? "I am almost in the clear."
Amazed ColleaguesThe pneumonia is only the latest setback for Swayze, who was diagnosed with stage-four pancreatic cancer – the most advanced stage of the deadly disease – one year ago. And yet the Texas-bred actor has hardly slowed down since his diagnosis, amazing his colleagues on The Beast with his tireless work ethic. On the series' Chicago set, "he didn't want anyone to pamper him," says consulting producer Michael Dinner. "The only time he would get upset is if he felt the scripts were making it easy on him." Now Swayze is focused on getting back on his feet and rejoining his wife of 33 years, Lisa, 52, and their menagerie of horses and dogs. As Lisa tells PEOPLE, "I admire everything imaginable [about Patrick], especially his courage, strength and humor."

Lisa Marie
Elvis Presley's only daughter, Lisa Marie, is now a doting mom to 3-month-old girls Finley and Harper – and she is showing off her tiny additions in the new issue of PEOPLE. "I really wanted these babies," says Presley, 40, who tried for two years to get pregnant before conceiving the twins. "My blood was too thick and would clot, which caused several miscarriages," she tells PEOPLE. "The moment I took blood thinners, I got pregnant."Presley and her guitarist husband Michael Lockwood, 47, also share their L.A. home with Presley's children from a previous marriage: daughter Riley, 19, and son Benjamin, 16. Life as a bustling family of six is "chaotic bliss," says Presley. The outspoken star – who proudly bared her baby bump after tabloids accused her of having an "unhealthy appetite" – also opens up about losing her baby weight. "I was unable to see my toes by the fourth month," she admits. "But I only gained 30 lbs. total. I worked out up until the seventh month."Estudantes pedem demissão da ministra
Dirigentes de associações de estudantes do secundário exigiram esta sexta-feira a demissão da ministra da Educação durante uma vigília frente ao ministério, onde entregaram um abaixo-assinado com mais de 10 mil assinaturas contra o estatuto do aluno e o modelo de gestão das escolas.
As 10.150 assinaturas entregues esta sexta-feira no Ministério foram recolhidas em cerca de 50 escolas de Norte a Sul do país, disse Luís Baptista, porta-voz da autodenominada Plataforma Estudantil "Directores Não!", considerando este o "maior abaixo-assinado estudantil de que há memória".
No ministério, representantes da plataforma foram recebidos por um assessor que apenas tinha poder de receber as assinaturas, disse Luís Baptista.
Frente ao ministério, durante a manhã, cerca de cinquenta estudantes realizaram uma vigília simbólica de 10.000 segundos, "um segundo por cada aluno prejudicado pela actual política educativa", e consideraram que já não é possível dialogar nem mudar nada com esta ministra da Educação.
"Portanto, a única solução é exigir a demissão da ministra da Educação", disse Luís Baptista, salientando que o abaixo-assinado pede isso mesmo e acrescenta que não basta a saída de Maria de Lurdes Rodrigues.

'Darling, I've just had an accident': Hero pilot's call to wife after he ditched Airbus into freezing New York river - and saved 155 lives
The pilot who pulled off one of the most dramatic escapes in aviation history phoned his wife to tell her: 'There's been an accident'.
Captain Chesley B. Sullenberger III, 57, saved the lives of 155 people when he made the extraordinary decision to ditch his stricken Airbus in the freezing Hudson River.
He missed smashing the US Airways plane into the George Washington Bridge by less than 300 metres, according to reports - and then walked the length of the fast-sinking plane twice to make sure everyone was off.
