And there is a reason why they say “please don’t feed the animals”: A circus elephant trampled to death a girl who was attempting to feed it, police in Vietnam said Monday. Police officer Pham Ngoc Tien of Lao Cai province said the elephant was part of a troupe from Hanoi on a 10-day tour of the province. The animal was tied to a chain in the fenced backyard of a cultural center when it was not performing. Tien said Monday that the 11-year-old girl and several other children had entered its enclosure. The girl was feeding the elephant when it lifted her up with its trunk, threw her to the ground and trampled her repeatedly. Police officer Phan Van Quang told AFP that Nguyen Thao Anh was offering the elephant sugarcane. “She was trampled to death on the spot”, he added. Nguyen Xuan Quang, deputy director of the Vietnam Circus Federation, reportedly said that children had been teasing the animal prior to Sunday’s incident. Speaking to AFP, Quang added that the victim’s father was talking on the phone at the time. Source
Drake took the stage with Nicki Minaj to perform his new single “Make Me Proud”. We all know how Drake feels about Nicki and her cakes but during his performance, his feelings came out and just couldn’t help himself!

Can’t say that we have ever seen him this live and animated… He almost look like the rapper he pens to be! Drake might want to calm all that down, seeing that Nicki Minaj’s weave carrrier boyfriend might not like all that! Flip to the next page for a Peek at Drake’s first Love…
This is one tough, old, mutha-Fauja!! A 100-year-old runner became the oldest person to complete a full-distance marathon when he finished the race in Toronto on Sunday. Fauja Singh earned a spot in the Guiness World Book of Records for his accomplishment. It took Singh more than eight hours to cross the finish line — more than six hours after Kenya’s Kenneth Mungara won the event for the fourth straight year — and he was the last competitor to complete the course. But his time wasn’t nearly as remarkable as the accomplishment. Event workers dismantled the barricades along the finish line and took down sponsor banners even as Singh made his way up the final few hundred yards of the race. Family, friends and supporters greeted Singh when he finished the race. “Beating his original prediction, he’s overjoyed,” his coach and translator Harmander Singh said. “Earlier, just before we came around the (final) corner, he said, ‘Achieving this will be like getting married again.’ “He’s absolutely overjoyed, he’s achieved his lifelong wish.” This is the second time Singh has set a world record in his “golden years” In the 2003 Toronto event, he set the mark in the 90-plus category, finishing the race in 5 hours, 40 minutes and 1 second. And on Thursday in Toronto, Singh broke world records for runners older than 100 in eight different distances ranging from 100 meters to 5,000 meters. Congratulations sir, we hope you make it to a marathon when you’re 101. Source
Who says you can’t go home as a polygamist again? This week on TLC’s Sister Wives, Kody Brown and his four wives paid a visit to his hometown (Lovell, Wyoming), which was a pretty big deal for the Brown Bomber and Co. because it was his “first time going back openly as a polygamist.” Think TLC encouraged/forced that field trip at all? Kody was hella nervous, understandably, because when you go in and have the “Scarlet ‘P’ on your shoulder, you just don’t know if people will ostracize you or not.” Most of us will never have that issue, but the sentiment rings true. By and large, they were well received, which was nice. Even if you don’t like what they do, they seen like nice people and are basically harmless, so c’est la vie. A few people even congratulated Robyn on her pregnancy, while their critics basically concurred that these were good people who just had the “wrong idea.” One woman was nervous that people might think that Lovell, Wyoming was the birthplace of polygamy. Not the case, sweetheart, it’s just the birthplace of TLC’s polygamist reality show … so basically the same thing in this era. At a reunion of Kody Brown’s high school friends, which TLC clearly had no role in pulling together, they regaled the wives with stories of their husband in H.S. He liked to be the center of attention, apparently. Says a lot. When you’ve got four adoring wives and 17 kids clamoring for your time and love day in day out, that’s one way to be the focal point of your own little universe. Kody’s best friend Ken had an interesting take on the Browns’ lifestyle: “We feel like he’s got an issue come Judgment day,” he said. “If he goes to hell, so be it.” Pretty much, Ken. Pretty much. Apparently some people thought Kody was “flamboyantly gay” in high school. The reason for that theory was that he wore “tight pants” and he “flipped” his hair. It turns out he was just ahead of his time, though, trying to be fashionable as a man. In this day and age, we would merely term him … well, something else. We never really got the gay vibe from the Kode-man, but the four wives will certainly dispel that notion fast. How much more straight can a guy be, right?! He marries women and fathers their kids left and right! Speaking of which, Kody and Robyn plan to name their son Solomon. That sounds like a nice name. Thoughts on this installment of Sister Wives? How do you think Kody’s trip home went? Do you like the name Solomon? Vote in our poll and comment below! What do you think of Kody Brown and Sister Wives?

I’m Julia and I’m a belieber from São Paulo, Brazil. It all started on August 15 th , when I discovered that Justin was finally coming to my country. I was waiting for this moment since 2009! I joined bieberfever.com and bought my tickets for “Pista Premium” which is the nearest to the stage. A few days after that, I saw the meet & greet contest. My friend and I did our best to spread the world about bieberfever.com , but sadly, we didn’t win. We were really frustrated, but that didn’t bring us down because the next day was Justin’s concert! We were so excited. On 10/08, I went to the stadium at 6am and my friend and a friend of hers were there since midnight. W e stayed there till 2pm and it was really, really, really hot! When the stadium opened, we ran as fast as we could to get a good place. It was very crowded and hot in there. Some security guards started to give us water, and someone threw water at my camera and it wasn’t working anymore. I started to cry really hard, I couldn’t believe that was happening. Some really nice beliebers helped me to stay calm and some minutes later, my camera started to work again! I was so happy! The Z festival started at 4 pm, wi th the brazilian band Cine. When they went off of the stage, started to rain, rain really hard. My friends and I stayed there, we wouldn’t trade our place for nothing! The rain stopped when the second band, The Wanted started to play. They were awesome! After that, it was the time of Cobra Starship . They were awesome too! And then.. the chronometer appeared at 8pm. Justin was finally coming to the stage. My dream was about to come true in 14 minutes. He finally started to perform and I couldn’t believe that was really happening. I WAS SO CLOSE TO HIM! It was perfect. It was the best day of my life. And, one day, I will meet him. Never Say Never, right? Love -@justjubs See the article here: I’m Julia and I’m a belieber from São Paulo, Brazil….

A few days ago we brought you the delightful Chinese boat launch straight into the river bottom. Today, we observe the curious case of the JH-7 “Flying Leopard” which during an exhibition airshow decided to show just how effective gravity is at combating those pesky “highly reliable license-built Spey Mk202 engines” which as the AP reports were “considered unlikely that both would have stalled at… Broadcasting platform : YouTube Source : zero hedge Discovery Date : 14/10/2011 10:36 Number of articles : 2
[1]WE HEARD IT FROM THREE BLOCKS AWAY. The Observer left North Brooklyn sharing a cab with a neighboring journalist who had also been covering the protests shortly after 5:30 AM. By the time the cab pulled onto Broadway, after a quiet ride into Manhattan, traffic was at a standstill. It was around then we heard the noise, seeping in through rolled-up windows: yelling and shouting in a distant, chaotic… Broadcasting platform : YouTube Source : The New York Observer Discovery Date : 14/10/2011 16:47 Number of articles : 2
