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
Adina Howard is the original “Freak.” She made her debut onto the music scene in the 90′s with the album Do You Wanna Ride? which spawned the platinum selling single “Freak Like Me.” Adina’s provocative and salacious lyrics paved the way for her following tracks: “Nasty Grind,” and the fan favorite “T-Shirt & Panties.” She is currently back in the studio prepping a new release. “ This project is going to different from everything else because it’s not going to really be focused the sex aspect what people know me for. It will be to the left, completely unexpected. I’m an artist, I like to grow. I like to spread my wings and fly into a different direction! ” says Adina when I spoke with her. Adina revealed to me that she was engaged and getting married in a few days (talk about two chicks in conversation heaven!). Read her Wedding Story below: “Initially Shermon and I dated in our 20′s, at one point I was not satisfied with how things were going. I felt that there was some growth that needed to take place. I told him ‘When you get yourself together, we’ll get back together’ and we remained friends. Periodically he would say to me ‘We need to quit playing and just get married.’ I’m like ‘na, I’m cool with the way things are.’ Some time would pass by and he would ask me again and my response would ‘I’m good.’ A friend of mine, she was like ‘Adina, I know there are some things going on between you and Shermon or whatever but that’s a good man right there and you better not let him get away!’ She looked at me and said ‘Let me tell you something, if you let that man get away, we gon’ have problems.’ While she was being his cheerleader I was thinking about our relationship in the past. Everything was gravy and we remained friends all the way up until this point. I was getting on a plane to go to Charlotte and I was thinking she is right and I am ready to settle up. I placed the call, he picked up the phone; I said ‘You still want to marry me’ he was like yeah.’ I said ‘let’s do it then!’ It was there that I realized, Adina kind of proposed to Shermon! “I think it’s a situation to each it’s own at the end of the day everybody is not traditional. I think sometimes when there is too much pressure on a man he gets kind of buckled because it’s like ‘Why do I always have to do this, or that.’ Sometimes they want us to step up to the pate. Contrary to popular belief men want to be ruled, men want a woman to be romantic, men want to be loved on! I think it depends on the person; a woman has to understand she has to know her man. If you’re going to go that route make sure he isn’t not proposing because he doesn’t feel you’re the one” Sheer curiosity led me to wonder… “Well how do you know?” “Men have a way of expressing themselves, when they are ready to do something they gon’ do it! There’s no if, ands, buts or maybes. He’s been trying to get with me for the past 13 years. When they know what they want they go for it!” “I overstand why women become Bridezillas; I get it–it can be overwhelming. Initially we were going to go to Justice Of The Peace. We were told after joining our church that we can get married in the church, So we decided to go that route only for it to snowball into this whole to-do. The Dress: I went to David’s Bridal, I was like ‘let me see what this whole tying on a wedding dress thing is about.’ Growing up, getting married was not something I dreamed about. I just want to be real cute for my wedding, I don’t need to go out and get a private label designer for my wedding. I just wanted something simple. I found a dress for under $100. It was the first dress I tried on. I was like ‘OK I’ll take you.’ I did get a little misty [eyed] I was in public I couldn’t break down. I was like ‘this is mine!’ As for keeping her new marriage spicy in the bedroom: “It’s all about variety and switching up! ‘Missionary’ is cool, ‘Doggy Style’ is cool but sometimes you have to take it to the backyard, around the house…in the car PULL OVER! It’s about being spontaneous and again, knowing what your significant other likes. You trying to stick fingers in the butt and they don’t like that and you about to be kicked to the curb period!” We can learn a thing or two from Adina; she is comfortable with her sexuality “I gets down with the get down, it’s who I am it apart of my personality” she assures me before laughing. If there’s anything we all know, it is that men love a freak in the sheets. She is all that and more… Stay tuned in November for Adina Howard’s “How To Cook…” Special Feature for Thanksgiving!

Yes, folks, Beyonce really is pregnant. Following an appearance on Australia’s Sunday Night , in which she revealed her due month and said the impending baby has already ” changed her life ,” a positively nutty rumor sprang up: the singer was donning a prosthetic baby bump because a surrogate was actually having her child, yet she wanted the publicity that came along with it. All the chatter stemmed from this photo. Notice the supposed “fold” in her stomach? Forced to address the supposed conspiracy, Beyonce’s publicist Yvette Noel-Schure gave a statement to ABC News that simply labeled the talk of a pretend pregnancy as “stupid, ridiculous and false.” We’d have to agree. Do you? Watch the full interview and then vote: Do you believe that Beyonce is pregnant?
Plenty of stars delivered strong routines on Dancing With the Stars Monday night. Chaz Bono was one of them. Chynna Phillips and Nancy Grace were not among them. While you never know going into the results show, it seemed semi-clear who had a better path to safety than others. And it turned out our intuitions were correct. When the audience’s votes were factored in along with the scores, Chaz was safe. As was Rob Kardashian , who was inexplicably in the bottom three, but survived. Week after week, it’s anyone’s game. One slip and you’re gone. So who got the chop among the top nine competitors when the week’s results were unveiled? Who is safe to tango their way into our hearts another week? Carson Kressley had the lowest score of the week, with Grace and Chynna close behind. One of the three is sitting on the sidelines right now. But which one? Follow the jump to find out … Chynna Phillips , despite being considered a favorite just a few short weeks ago, is now heading home. She was surprised, but blamed only herself. “I’m disappointed and I’m sad,” the Wilson Phillips singer said. “But I have to take responsibility. I messed up and… I have an amazing partner.” “I love you, Tony,” she told Mr. Dovolani. “He’s been there for me 100 percent the entire way and I’m very grateful to have had the opportunity. Thank you everyone who voted for me.” And then there were eight. Can anyone stop the Ricki Lake express, or is she on a collision course to the finals with J.R. Martinez? We shall see. Did Chynna deserve to be voted off DWTS?
Sara Leal had unprotected sex with Ashton Kutcher in the early morning of the actor’s sixth wedding anniversary. That’s what this 22-year old administrative assistant tells Us Weekly , as she has spoken out for the first time about her one-night stand with the Two and a Half Men star. For a lot more from Sara Leal , pick up this issue of Us Weekly. “He just came up and kissed me,” Leal tells the tabloid of what went down in Kutcher’s Hard Rock Hotel suite in San Diego on September 24, repeating previous details that have leaked out and saying she was naked in a hot tub with Kutcher and another woman just minutes later. Leal says the actor claimed he was “separated” from wife Demi Moore and that she didn’t think any of her actions were “out of the ordinary,” causing us to wonder what she typically does on Saturday nights. Following the birthday suit soak, Leal and Kutcher went off to the latter’s bedroom around 6 a.m., where “he lost his towel and I took my robe off,” Leal says. “Then we had sex.” How was it? “He was good. It wasn’t weird or perverted,” or safe, as Leal adds Kutcher did not use a condom. Leal says Kutcher asked her about politics after they got it on, laughing over her reference to Rick Perry and learning she was a “Lutheran from Texas.” They then had a second round of intercourse, which was followed by this admission: “He was like, ‘I enjoy things like this because I’m an actor 90 percent of the time and it’s fake. It’s nice to have moments that are real.'” Kutcher has not denied this affair – with the exception of a few silly, mysterious Tweets warning fans not to “assume” anything – and is reportedly on the verge of a divorce from Moore.

I’m a little nervous,” Jack said upon revealing the happy news that Lisa Stelly is pregnant in an interview on Piers Morgan Tonight. She missed out on this interview , but sister Kelly Osbourne is obviously a fan of the couple. She’s been taking to Twitter to silence her critics already.
