Tuti Yusupowa, 128-year-old Uzbekistan Great Grandma, Is World Oldest's People

Jeanne Calment (Wiki)

World's oldest person ever verified is France's Jeanne Calment [Wikipedia], who was born on 21 February 1875. When she died on Aug. 4, 1997, Calment aged 122 years and 164 days.

Jeanne Calment's record has probably broken by Tuti Yusupowa, a 128-year-old great great grandma from a village in a remote region of Uzbekistan. Though the birth year on her passport issued in 1997 from Uzbekistan's Interior Ministry only shows Tuti Yusupowa was born in 1880, Xinhua is reporting Ms. Yusupowa was born on July 1 of that year.

Safar Hakimov, a state official who is working a field survey to discover people aged over 100 in the central Asian country, claimed Yusupowa is the world's oldest woman.

21-Year-Old Evan Rachel Wood Busted Making Out With Movie Dad

Stranger things have happened - after all, this is Hollywood. Evan Rachel Wood, 21, hit headlines last year after she started dating Marilyn Manson (19 years her senior) but since their split in December has she now moved on to 56-year-old veteran actor Mickey Rourke?

The two attended Grey Goose’s Official SAG after-party at the Shrine on Sunday evening but were spotted leaving together enroute to the later after party at the Four Seasons Hotel. According to Pop Tarts spies, the actress went upstairs with Rourke (whose second marriage ended over a decade ago) when he suddenly grabbed her for a lip-lock in the outside area of the swanky five-star hotel.

However, Evan Rachel Wood denied such alleged affair with Mickey Rourke, she told Rolling Stone, "I'm not attracted to him, he's too old for me. Nothing ever happened and nothing ever will."

Nevertheless, Rachel Wood was indeed seen passionately kissing Rourke's cheek (picture) at the Venice Film Festival in May, 2008. [Image: Youtube.com/Dose.ca]

Yang Xin, Zhu Haiyang's Virginia Tech Decapitated Victim

Yang Xin (or Xin Yang, 杨欣 in Chinese), was Zhu Haiyang's Virginia Tech decapitated victim.  So far it's unknown what's the motive behind Zhu Haiyang's horrific and gruesome slaying against Yang Xin who was said to a Canada-educated First Degree holder. But here are unofficial counts read from a post at C3online.cn.

Yang Xin (or Xin Yang) arrived only 13 days in US when murdered

Yang Xin, 22, from Beijing, just arrived at Virginia Tech for studying accounting on January 8. On that day, it was said Zhu Haiyang picked her up. And in the following days, Zhu temporarily accommodated Yang as the latter could not find a house on campus during the Winter break. During this short period, Zhu Haiyang had developed affectations on Yang Xin, but later only found she had an engaged boyfriend in China and would get married soon, as a consequence, Zhu resorted the violence to end Yang's life.

Update: Yang Xin graduated from Canada's Memorial University.

An alumnist of Memorial University has been murdered in the United States. Memorial's Department of Student Affairs says 22 year old Xin Yang of Beijing graduated from Business at Memorial in 2007, and worked here in the city for a short time. 2 weeks ago she began her graduate studies in accounting at Virginia Tech. According to Virgina Tech's website, on Wednesday evening, Yang was attacked by another student with a knife in a campus restaurant. The suspect - a 25 year old male doctoral student, was charged with first degree murder. [Vocm.com]

Zhu Haiyang Photographed at his Master Degree convocation

We said in the earlier post, Zhu Haiyang's previous private life was a little messy, it seemed so did Yang Xin.  Citrus1111 said in a message on Hoopchina.com Yang had a nickname called "Socket" when studying in Canada, hinting she might have made some boyfriends there and had sexual intercourses with them.

Zhu Haiyang (Picture), Virginia Tech Ph.D Student, Decapitated Yang Xin, Fellow Chinese National

Zhu Haiyang (朱海洋 in Chinese),once hailed as a model student by his previous school--Shanghai Ocean University, is now a first-degree murder. Zhu Haiyang was alleged of decapitating fellow Chinese national, Yang Xin (杨欣 in Chinese）using a kitchen knife in Virginia Tech yesterday January 23, 2009.

At approximately 7:00 pm Wednesday (0000 GMT Thursday), Yang Xin, a 22-year-old graduate student from Beijing, was killed at an Au Bon Pain cafe on the Virginia Tech campus in Blacksburg, Virginia, university officials said.

They added that emergency contact records suggest that Yang and the student who murdered her, Zhu Haiyang from Ningbo, China, knew each other. According to officials, witnesses said Zhu, 25, attacked Yang with a knife.

"There were seven witnesses in the cafe. There had been no argument, no shouting" when the young woman was attacked, said Virginia Tech spokesman Mark Owczarski, confirming that Yang had been decapitated.

The Collegiate Times, the university's newspaper, said police received a 911 emergency call minutes after the assault and the officer who arrived at the scene found Yang's head had been cut off. The murder weapon, a large kitchen knife, was found at the scene.

In a copy of a police affidavit published by the Collegiate Times, the officer said that when she arrived at the scene she found Zhu holding Yang's head in his hand.

"This is horrible and tragic. Especially when we know that Virginia Tech has got its share of hardship and horror," Owczarski said.

[...]

Zhu was charged with first-degree murder and was being held at a county jail. He had not had a record with university or local police, the school indicated.

Yang had arrived at Virginia Tech in early January to begin studies in accounting. Zhu was a PhD graduate student in agriculture and applied economics. [AFP]

Pictured: Zhu Haiyang was photographed on his convocation at Shanghai Ocean University (上海海洋大学，the six large Chinese characters in the pic) which was calligraphied by Jiang Zemin (the three smaller Chinese), the former Chinese President.

This is an extreme sad sorry for me, because we know something about Zhu before from a close friend who once studied together with him at the afore-mentioned Shanghai university. Although Haiyang is a talented student, especially doing very well in English, his private life is a bit messy. Because he is handsome, Zhu Haiyang was attracted to some of female course mates when doing his Master Degree, several of whom even might have one-night stand with him. Zhu's father is a Professor teaching at a University in China.

Jennifer Garner No.2 Baby Name Meaning: Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner Named Second Daughter Seraphina Rose Elizabeth Affleck

Jennifer Garner and daughter Violet Anne picture embedded from Photobucket

Jennifer Garner and husband Ben Affleck have named their second daughter Seraphina Rose Elizabeth, who was born on January 6 in a Los Angeles hospital.

The couple didn't reveal the meaning behind the name of the newly-born baby girl. But Pamela Redmond Satran, the baby names' expert authored the Baby Name Bible, who also runs Website Nameberry, tells the possible meaning of Violet Anne's little sister's name on her web site:

Seraphina’s name, which means fiery or ardent in Hebrew, comes from the Seraphim, the high order of six-winged angels. Spelled Serafina in Spanish and Italian, this elaborately feminine name is in step with the Isabellas and Gabriellas so popular today, yet is far more distinctive.

Jen and Ben have proven their baby naming know-how with this gorgeous choice, a great match for Violet, and it’s sure to rise up the popularity list along with that of her big sister.  Much more unusual than Violet, Seraphina hasn’t ever appeared in the Top 1000 of the Social Security list in the past century.

Rose is the middle name du jour, a flower name match for Violet.  And, like many young Americans following the British tradition, the couple has chosen two middle names (although some people have already expressed the objection that it wasn’t fair for this baby to get one more than her big sister).

Seraphina hasn’t appeared much in popular culture references, though a couple of its variations have.  With the Latin  Serafina spelling, it was the name of the passionate heroine of Tennessee Williams The Rose Tattoo, and just last year it was a  character played by Eva Green in The Golden Compass.  It’s also reminiscent of Sarafina, the South African hit musical that played on Broadway in the 90s.

Lily Allen photo embedded from photobucket

Lily Allen, the 23-year-old singer has reportedly split from her new older boyfriend Jay Jopling, the 45-year-old art dealer after weeks' dating.

Lily Allen and Jopling have known each other for years through the Smile singer's comedian dad Keith Allen but began dating just before Christmas after they were photographed hugging and kissing during the holiday trip in St Barts. The pair even sparked engagement rumour after Lily was spotted wearing an engagement ring only a week ago. But now the less-than-one-month 'holiday romance' was all over.

Sources close to Lily told the Dailymail:

It's all over – it was basically just a holiday romance. Lily is going away for a year on tour, so it's unlikely she will have much time for a relationship...... They have had a lot of fun together, but Lily has said it's finished...... She is very well and busy promoting her new record.

An Ill life, An Ill End: Somali Pirates Drowned After Paying $3M Ransom for Saudi Arabi Oil Tanker

The Somali pirates who hijacked Saudi Arab's super crude oil tanker Sirius Star were paid a ransom of US dollars three million, but their wrongdoings were reprimanded by God! 

This is the dramatic moment a ransom of $3million was paid to Somali pirates to end the world's biggest ship hijacking.

The canister full of cash was parachuted onto the Sirius Star - observed by the U.S. Navy who provided these images - and the two-month ordeal of the 25 crew, including two Britons, was finally over.

However things went badly wrong for the pirates soon after the drop - they squabbled over how to split the money and then a wave washed off their getaway boat and drowned five of them.

But as they made off they continued to row about the payout.

'Two of them swam and survived. One is still missing.

The weather was so terrible that it blew the boat over, then sank it.

We got five dead bodies and we are still searching for the missing one. The waves were disastrous,' said Farah Osman, an associate of the gang. [Dailymail]

From AP:

Five of the Somali pirates who released a hijacked oil-laden Saudi supertanker drowned with their share of a reported $3 million ransom after their small boat capsized, a pirate and a relative of one of the dead men said Saturday.

Pirate Daud Nure said the boat with eight people on board overturned in a storm after dozens of pirates left the Sirius Star following a two-month standoff in the Gulf of Aden that ended Friday.

He said five people died and three people reached shore after swimming for several hours. Daud Nure was not part of the pirate operation but knew those involved.

Abukar Haji, the uncle of one of the dead men, said the deaths were an accident.

"The boat the pirates were traveling in capsized because it was running at high speed because the pirates were afraid of an attack from the warships patrolling around," he said.

"There has been human and monetary loss but what makes us feel sad is that we don't still have the dead bodies of our relatives. Four are still missing and one washed up on the shore."

Victoria Beckham £80,000 Himalayan Birkin Handbag

Victoria Beckham was spotted slinging an 80,000-pound Himalayan Birkin handbag over her arm as husband David Beckham made his debut for AC Milan in Dubai.

OMG!!! The value of Victoria Beckham's expensive handbag is equavilent to a well-decored apartment in the region where we are currently living.

Kanye West disclosed at the Louis Vuitton Spring 2009 menswear show in Paris last July that he would have a men's shoe collection with the luxury brand. The music mogul confirmed again just days ago in a video filmed TMZ.com when he was coming out of a Louis Vuitton store. Yesterday, Kanye West finally showed off one of the six new sneakers he designed for Louis Vuitton on his own site. Though Hypebeast.com called it "well executed deck shoe," Perez Hilton still believed it "pretty sick." :-).

FYI, Kanye West Louis Vuitton Sneakers won't hit the stores until June.

Princess Beatrice's BMW Stolen by Daring Thief

 

Princess Beatrice (pictured above, via) has lost her BMW due to her careless. According to People, her beloved $25,000 car was driven off by the thief after she forgot to pull out the keys from the expensive vehicle. We guess she was possibly in a rush to do shopping in London days ago.

Britain's Princess Beatrice may have scored some bargains in London's post-holiday sales, but she lost her beloved BMW in the process.

Beatrice, 20, the eldest daughter of Sarah Ferguson, the Duchess of York, was on a break from classes at Goldsmith's College earlier this week when she parked her car in fashionable west London, and left the keys in the ignition.

A daring thief made off with the princess's luxury ride – a 17th birthday present from her father, Prince Andrew – even though Beatrice was accompanied by a police protection officer at the time.

We're feeling a bit sorry for her! And hope the car will be finally returned to her undamaged.

Vatican: Contraceptive Pills Pollute Environment, Harm Male Fertility

Vatican, the central authority of the Roman Catholic Church which is strongly against birth control, renewed its attack on contraceptive pill:

VATICAN CITY (AFP) — The contraceptive pill is polluting the environment and is in part responsible for male infertility, a report in the Vatican newspaper L'Osservatore Romano said Saturday.

The pill "has for some years had devastating effects on the environment by releasing tonnes of hormones into nature" through female urine, said Pedro Jose Maria Simon Castellvi, president of the International Federation of Catholic Medical Associations, in the report.

"We have sufficient evidence to state that a non-negligible cause of male infertility in the West is the environmental pollution caused by the pill," he said, without elaborating further.

Vatican's claim was immediately refused by some Italian pharmacological associations:

"Once metabolised, the hormones contained in oral contraceptives no longer have any of the characteristic effects of feminine hormones," said Gianbenedetto Melis, vice-president of a contraceptive research association, quoted by the ANSA news agency.

The hormones contained in the pill such as oestrogen "are present everywhere... in plastic, in disinfectants, in meat that we eat," added Flavia Franconi, of the Society of Italian Pharmacology.

Interestingly, A Tel Aviv University study in 2008 found that for women who do want a baby but are finding it difficult to conceive, the contraceptive may help them to get pregnant.

First Dual-screen Laptop Lenovo W700ds ThinkPad

Lenovo Dual-screen Laptop: W700ds ThinkPad

Lenovo, China's No.1 computer manufacturer, has launched the world's first dual-screen laptop W700ds ThinkPad (pictured above), which is equipped with a slide-out display to the notebook's main 17” screen. It's fantastic, but I will not buy it any time soon, reasons? Read excerpts from Tgdaily's review:

The privilege of owning one of these notebooks comes at a price – in terms of weight, battery life and money. 

[W700ds ThinkPad,] packs an additional 2 lbs and weighs about 11 lbs. Add the power adapter and you are at 13 lbs and even that may not be the final word, especially if you are adding a second or third hard drive.

Prices for a W700ds base model start at just under $3700, while a quad-core model with Nvidia’s workstation graphics chip will break the $5000 barrier. Add more memory and max out the storage space and you will see a bottom line that exceeds $6000.

There are plenty of reviews of the W700ds already available on the web and it appears that this system is not exactly as mobile as your average notebook. Not only is it bulky and heavy, its battery time is also well below two hours - if both screens are used. The battery times published in the reviews we have seen range from about 95 to 110 minutes with a standard 9-cell battery.

If you are curious what that second display fits to do? Below are answers:

The main screen offers a resolution of 1920 x 1200, the smaller screen (which can be angled towards the user) 768 x 1280, which is about 40% of the screen real estate of the main display. Realistically, the 768 pixel width is not enough to comfortably browse web pages or to edit text documents, presentations or large spreadsheets. In everyday use, the display may be limited to secondary applications such as instant messaging, video calls or emails.

Bikini-clad Zhang Ziyi &Vivi Nevo walking on beach

She creates a frenzy among Chinese online communities immediately after X17online.com photographed and published more than of 80 photos of Zhang Ziyi and beau ViVi Nevo sunbathing at St. Barth beach, which now are rampantly re-posted on Chinese news portals and blogs.

Some of those pictures explicitly showed a nude Zhang Ziyi or Vive Nevo extremely intimating with the 29-year old actress. Ziyi's rep accused X17 of invading Ziyi's privacy while the photo agency despised it based on the fact that Zhang behaved in public.

Craig Alan Bittner, "Lipo-Diesel" Doctor, Fueled Cars Using Human Fat

"Lipo-Diesel" Doctor Craig Alan Bittner (dralanbittner.com)

Plastic surgeon Craig Alan Bittner, of now closed Beverly Hills Liposculpture clinic, used liposuctioned fat from his patients to power SUVs, according to the reports. Though of his fat-for-fuel or "lipodiesel" intention, what  Dr. Craig Alan Bittner had done has apparently brushed with California's law which bans to use human medical waste as vehicle fuels.

A former Beverly Hills plastic surgeon is in trouble with the law because he fueled his car with human fat sucked from his patients.

Craig Alan Bittner apparently created "lipo-diesel" from his patient's fat and used it to fuel his Ford SUV and his girlfriend's Lincoln Navigator.

California public health officials say that it is illegal because state law forbids the use of human medical waste to power vehicles.

Bittner said he was trying to be environmentally friendly by using the "lipo-diesel."

"The vast majority of my patients request that I use their fat for fuel -- and I have more fat than I can use," Bittner wrote on lipodiesel.com, which is no longer online. "Not only do they get to lsoe their love handles or chubby belly but they get to take part in saving the earth."

His patients might not have been such willing participants, however.

...

It's unclear when he started and stopped making his "lipo-diesel" or how he made it. [Chinadaily]

The California Department of Public Health is now investigating the issue, but Alan Bittner has moved to South America “to volunteer with a small clinic...where he can help those most in need,”  possibly in an intention to escaping of being examined.

Karina Smirnoff Engaged To Maksim Chmerkovskiy (Pictures)

Karina Smirnoff Engaged Maksim Chmerkovskiy To Get Married (Picture @ Wallpaper Downloads)

Karina Smirnoff and Maksim Chmerkovskiy, two of Dancing With The Stars professionals, were engaged, it was revealed by E!Online! According to the report, Karina Smirnoff was proposed by Maksim Chmerkovskiy right before the midnight of New Year Eve of 2009, with the latter sealing the deal with a Harry Winston number.

The engagement shocked at least me if not others, because after her break-up with former boyfriend Mario Lopez last June, Karina Smirnoff was not seen on a relationship with any man, while Maksim Chmerkovskiy appeared on The Insider on November 6 to appeal female viewers to take a video contest and win a date with him. So it now turns out a crap?

Even though Karina Smirnoff and Maksim Chmerkovskiy were spotted together on Election Day November 4 , the speculation they might be on a date did arise, it was still unexpected that the two got hitched in such a short time!  We have no thoughts but congrats!

"Third-Hand Smoke" Threat

"Third-hand smoke" is a new term invented by pediatricians from Boston's MassGeneral Hospital for Children. If the threats from second-hand smoke is relatively easy to be relieved by ventilating the air, those of third-hand smoke may be persistent. What's the worse is the children whose parents smoke are posed under direct threats. From New York Times:

Parents who smoke often open a window or turn on a fan to clear the air of second-hand smoke, but experts now have identified another smoking-related threat to children’s health that isn’t as easy to get rid of: third-hand smoke.

That’s the term being used to describe the invisible yet toxic brew of gases and particles clinging to smokers’ hair and clothing, not to mention cushions and carpeting, that lingers long after smoke has cleared from a room. The residue includes heavy metals, carcinogens and even radioactive materials that young children can get on their hands and ingest, especially if they’re crawling or playing on the floor.

Doctors from MassGeneral Hospital for Children in Boston coined the term “third-hand smoke” to describe these chemicals in a new study that focused on the risks they pose to infants and children. The study was published in this month’s issue of the journal Pediatrics.

...

Among the substances in third-hand smoke are hydrogen cyanide, used in chemical weapons; butane, which is used in lighter fluid; toluene, found in paint thinners; arsenic; lead; carbon monoxide; and even polonium-210, the highly radioactive carcinogen that was used to murder former Russian spy Alexander V. Litvinenko[picture, wikipedia] in 2006. Eleven of the compounds are highly carcinogenic.

So for your own health as well as your family members, please stop smoking!

Rajo Devi, 70, An Indian Mother Who Just Gave Birth to A Girl in November, Considering to Have A Son

Rajo Devi, 70, an Indian mother who just gave birth to a girl in November, is already considering to have a son. According to Xinhua, the newly mother said doctors believed she was more healthy than those at 30~40's.

Rajo Devi and husband Bala Ram, 72, married when they were teens. But to be parents of a child, they had to wait for 55 years.

That day came on November 28, 2008 when Rajo Devi delivered a healthy baby girl after in vitro fertility treatment, becoming the second in India to give birth to a child by IVF at the age of 70.

In July of the same year, another Indian woman named Omkari Panwar, also 70, gave birth to a pair of boy and girl twins.

Dr Anurag Bishnoi, Devi's doctor at Hisar's National Fertility Centre, claimed that she is the oldest mother who gives a birth.

A 43-year-old Rachida Dati delivered her daughter by C-section in a maternity clinic in Paris. The toddler named Zohra Dati was born two weeks prematurely.

"Will the father of newly-born child go to see Rachida Dati? This is a question all French people will ask after the baby girl was born." The French media speculated.

Until so far, Rachida Dati, who confessed having "a complicated private life" earlier and sometimes accused by critics of being more interested in being a celebrity than in doing her job, did not (probably will never) spill the beans on who is her daughter's father.

Photos! Above are Vickie Guerrero pics. General manager of WWE's Smackdown Vickie Guerrero was found naked in pictures auctioned on eBay. Now re-posted on WWE.com, Vickie Guerrero nude photos have been censored to cover her breasts and other private parts.

Robert Pattinson

According to Finditt.com, Robert Pattinson, the Twilight star, is said to get over co-star Kristen Stewart by making the moves on Camilla Belle, Joe Jonas' girlfriend of three months:

Robert Pattinson is reportedly trying to steal Jonas Brothers singer Joe Jonas’s girlfriend, actress Camilla Belle. Sources say Pattinson, who was previously linked to his co-star Kristen Stewart is “very attracted” to Belle and has been trying to convince her to dump Jonas.

“He’s very attracted to her. They have a lot in common,” a source says.

We're really feeling a bit pessimistic for Joe, because Robert Pattinson and Camilla Belle, both 22, were already spotted hanging out together as early as in the beginning of December.

Rebecca Griffin, Mike Griffin's Wife Pleads for His NASA Administer Job

Scott "Doc" Horowitz, an ex-astronaut and former NASA associate administrator, petitioned at iPetitions.com to let President-elect Barack Obama not fire Mike Griffin as NASA's Chief Administrator in a new administration (after January 20, 2009). Apparently, Mike's wife Rebecca Griffin (pictured above), has spared no efforts to lend her hand, she sent family and friends emails titled "Campaign for Mike" to ask them to sign the petition.

(AP) --Late on Christmas Eve, one last wish was sent, by e-mail: Please let NASA Administrator Michael Griffin keep his job. It was from his wife. Rebecca Griffin, who works in marketing, sent her message with the subject line "Campaign for Mike" to friends and family. It asked them to sign an online petition to President-elect Barack Obama "to consider keeping Mike Griffin on as NASA Administrator."

She wrote, "Yes, once again I am embarrassing my husband by reaching out to our friends and 'imposing' on them.... And if this is inappropriate, I'm sorry."

It's too early to predict whether Barack Obama will keep Griffin's job or not, but some already were not so optimistic:

Efforts by those close to Griffin lobbying on his behalf are unusually bold, even for ego-heavy Washington. Past efforts on behalf of job hopefuls have been more behind-the-scenes so plausible deniability can be maintained.

"It sounds like the only thing left is to stencil Mike Griffin on the side of shuttle," joked Paul Light, a professor of public policy and a presidential transition expert at New York University. "I've never heard of a campaign to keep one's job that goes beyond the edge of private discussion. ... Maybe he should be texting next."

David Goldston, a former chief of staff for the House Science Committee and a lecturer on science policy at Harvard University, said, "This kind of public campaigning to keep a job is unusual and usually tends to backfire in new administrations."

Eehhh!
