The beautiful Anarkali Iman Ali, our very own queen of the ramp, who is always surrounded by news, views or confusions, is making waves again. If you guys remember, right in the beginning of her career, an upcoming female model from Karachi alleged that during a fashion show, when she was just about to appear on the ramp, Iman stuck a chewed bubble gum to her hair. Then her poor relationship with her celebrity father Abid Ali became the talk of the town. Then a mysterious sickness was attached with her name. But all of these were proved to be no more than rumours.

Nearly all fashionistas are saying that the supermodel is all set to leave the modelling world. She recently declined an offer of a fashion show in Islamabad. Cute Iman is following her new passion — singing. Oh, dear Iman, you do not have to worry at all, if Mishi Khan and Annie can sing, anyone can.

It must be tough being Paul McCartney. You can make a fantastic album, full of superbly clever musical tricks (We’ll Be Coming Back To Nod Your Head Later) and infectiously catchy, silly little pop songs, but no matter how good they are, your listeners sit there expecting the music they’re hearing to not only entertain them for 45 minutes but to change modern society, if not the world as well. It’s as if making good music isn’t quite enough.

Because Memory Almost Full is an album of perfect pop songs, which borrow and rework musical themes and motifs from across 40 years of McCartney’s career. At times, it sounds like the kind of late ’60s sunshine psychedelica that changed the musical landscape forever (You Tell Me), and at times like too much Led Zeppelin, until you remember that everything Led Zeppelin knew, they learned from The Beatles.
