When are you going to get married?

I honestly do not know about that. When it happens, it happens. I‘m not worried. I am more interested in being happy than being in a relationship. I will not be in a relationship if I‘m not happy; I am not afraid of being alone. It is such an amazing gift to share love with someone. When you have that, hold on to it. But if you don‘t have it, that‘s okay. You will find it at the right time. I‘m not worried. Who knows, I might get married tomorrow.

Does that mean you are single?

I‘m not single.

You are not married and you‘re not single?

Yes. I‘m not married and I‘m not single

Meaning what?

Meaning, you don‘t expect me to tell you..

Who is your ideal man?

Someone who understands me, who is humble, intelligent, and not lazy. I can‘t stand a lazy man who will always complain, sit down and do nothing. A good person with a good heart, considerate, and God fearing.

Have you found him?

I have no idea. I‘m not going to talk about him.

Why won‘t you?

I don‘t want people to know about him. You know how it is now. People know and start following you around with cameras and start saying a lot of things.

Do you hope to walk the aisle with him?

You will kill me with questions. He is a good man and I‘m happy.

How is your relationship with Ruggedman. Are you still on?

Am I still dating Micheal? What do you think? I don‘t know. Micheal and I have broken our relationship. 

So both of you have parted ways

I don‘t know. Micheal is such a great person, wonderful, and fantastic and he has a good heart.

If he is such a person, why did you break up with him?

I don‘t know. Things happen when they happen. Nobody knows why we broke up and we just like to keep it that way. We have gone our different ways. No hard feelings And we are still friends.

Tom Cruise Gives Suri Fashion Freedom

Tom Cruise gives his four-year-old daughter Suri permission to wear what she wants because he wants her to be creative.

Tom Cruise lets his daughter be creative with her fashion choices.

The 47-year-old actor doesn't mind if four-year-old Suri - his daughter with wife Katie Holmes - wears high heels or expensive dresses because he wants her to be able to express herself with her clothes.

Tom - who won the Screen Icon Award at the National Movie Awards in London last night (26.05.10) - told BANG Showbiz: "I think it's important for children to be able to put on what they want to put on.

"She always just... she wears what she wants to wear and we allow her that creativity. She's just very special. An extraordinary little girl."

Despite her expensive tastes, Tom insists Suri doesn't have a style budget.

He joked: "Suri doesn't have a job yet so she doesn't spend anything on clothes."

Tom also revealed his wife Katie is his favourite film star, but he has enjoyed working with Cameron Diaz on new action comedy 'Knight and Day'.

He said: "My favourite leading lady is Kate. But I like working with great actresses. I haven't worked with Cameron since 'Vanilla Sky', she's a great friend."

Tom recently admitted he takes career advice from Suri - because he thinks she makes him a better actor.

He said: "I'll put Suri on a swing and tell her stories when I'm working on a script.

"I'll start with the beginning of the movie and take her through the story beat by beat. Of course, I make it age appropriate. She's four years old. But she asks all the right questions, 'Why does that happen?' 'Those are the bad guys?' 'You're the good guy, right?'

"It comes down to the same thing as when I was a kid. Can I create a character that will make her happy, that will make her laugh? And you know what? She makes me get better and better, because she's always asking me to do it again."

Nigerian kidnappers free Lebanese hostages

Nigerian kidnappers on Saturday released four Lebanese seized last week in the country's oil-rich south, a foreign ministry official in Beirut said.

"Lebanon's consul to Nigeria, Shawki Bou Nassar, today informed us that all four Lebanese nationals were freed in the early morning," the official told AFP. "We will have more information when they arrive at the embassy."

Gunmen sporting military uniforms kidnapped the four on May 15 in an attack that left a soldier and a gang member dead. The four were employed by the Stemco construction firm and two of them were
senior managers. They were seized at Ikot Ekpene in Akwa Ibom, one of Nigeria's nine oil-producing states located near Aba, the capital of Abia state.

Akwa Ibom neighbours Rivers state, the hub of the restive oil-producing Niger Delta region, and Abia state which has this year recently recorded the most kidnappings.

Hundreds of foreigners and locals have been kidnapped in recent years in Nigeria, most of them in the Niger Delta. Initially, oil workers in the region were targeted for kidnapping but other expatriates and local politicians or their relatives have been increasingly targeted.
