Pippa Middleton is a porn star

The survey, also commissioned by the US news show 60 minutes, asked 1,045 US adults the simple question: ‘Who is Pippa Middleton?’ Perhaps given the worldwide attention her bottom has received since the royal wedding in April and the fact she was offered $5million to appear in a porn film after threatening to steal the show on her sister Kate’s big day, a number of those surveyed said they thought the 27-year-old was a ‘adult film star’.

Put in perspective though, 52 per cent of those polled didn’t actually have a clue who Pippa was, while six per cent thought she was a CNBC news correspondent, six per cent believed her to be a character in a children’s book and two per cent seemed sure she was a fashion designer. All the recent attention Pippa has received didn’t go completely unnoticed in the US as 32 per cent of survey group correctly recognised her as a ‘British socialite’.

What-Filipino artist receives death threats after creating a 'penis crucifix'


Mr Cruz said his work, which mixes Christ with symbols of pop culture, was a symbol of a patriarchal society where men were ‘worshipped’. But the display has caused uproar among conservative Catholics, who say it is a mockery of their faith.The Cultural Centre of the Philippines in Manila has been flooded with calls to withdraw the exhibit since it opened in June.Mr Cruz, a 37-year-old visual and performance artist, added that it was his intention to provoke a reaction but he was surprised at the anger of the response.‘You can't force people. But I just hope that when we look at something, the process doesn't stop at the surface,’ he said.‘This speaks about objects that we worship, how we create these gods and idols, and how we in turn are created by our gods and idols.'A number of furious locals have taken to Facebook to vent their anger. One user wrote: ‘May your soul burn to hell, you Devil pro artist,’Emmanuel Fernandez, a teacher who is a member of the staunchly Catholic social group Knights of Columbus, also opposes the penis crucifix, saying: ‘It is very offensive to the majority, since the majority are Christian. It's sort of mocking the faith,’

Why-Ukraine to save bears from forced vodka drinking



KIEV - Ukraine’s Environment Minister Mykola Zlochevsky vowed on Wednesday to free all bears kept in restaurants for entertainment purposes and often forced to drink alcohol, Interfax news agency reported on Wednesday.

Captured and tamed bears were often used for entertainment in the Russian Empire, which included Ukraine, turning the animal into a national symbol.The practice appears to have also survived Ukraine’s emergence from Soviet rule, but Zlochevsky said it was inhumane and unacceptable today.“On television, they keep showing bears suffering in restaurants and roadside hotels,” Interfax quoted him as saying. “How long can we tolerate animal torture in restaurants where drunken guests make bears drink vodka for laughs?”Zlochevsky said his ministry was building a large enclosure in a wildlife sanctuary where it would place about 80 bears it planned to liberate.


Hobby-Swedish man caught trying to split atoms at home



STOCKHOLM — A Swedish man who was arrested after trying to split atoms in his kitchen said Wednesday he was only doing it as a hobby. Richard Handl told The Associated Press that he had the radioactive elements radium, americium and uranium in his apartment in southern Sweden when police showed up and arrested him on charges of unauthorized possession of nuclear material.The 31-year-old Handl said he had tried for months to set up a nuclear reactor at home and kept a blog about his experiments, describing how he created a small meltdown on his stove.Only later did he realize it might not be legal and sent a question to Sweden's Radiation Authority, which answered by sending the police."I have always been interested in physics and chemistry," Handl said, adding he just wanted to "see if it's possible to split atoms at home."The police raid took place in late July, but police have refused to comment. If convicted, Handl could face fines or up to two years in prison.
