Miss Bumbum
in intensive care after botched cosmetic surger y
A
model famous for a second place in Brazil’s popular Miss Bumbumcompetition is fighting for
her life in intensive care after a botched cosmetic surgery. Andressa Urach, is in a ‘serious condition’ in a hospital in the southern city
of Porto Alegre after removing gel from her thighs, which had previously been injected for cosmetic purposes. The 27-year-old’s surgery
08 116759 759 081 6759759 wounds became infected following a second operation to drain her thighs and she is currently being sedated, her mother Marisete De Favari said. Miss Urach came second in the 2012 Miss Bumbum competition, which scours Brazil for the most attractive behind in the
land. Ahead of the competition, Miss Urach, who hit headlines around the world after claiming she had had an affair with footballer Cristiano Ronaldo, a claim he strenuously denied, had injected two types of ‘body fillers’, hydrogel and PMMA, into the upper legs
to fill out the thighs and lift her bottom. In July this year the model discovered that the products were causing her leg muscles to rot, leaving her in excruciating pain. In an interview with Brazil’s R7 website, she said: ‘The hydrogel was not absorbed by my body and started to harm me. Now I’ve discovered that the PMMA is sticking to my muscles and causing the tissue to rot. ‘That’s why I am feeling such strong pains. I’m taking morphine every four hours and antibiotics to alleviate the suffering.’ Another Miss BumBum contestant, Jessica Lopes, who shared a flat with Ms Urach, said: ‘Everyone is in a state shock. ‘Andressa and I would go to the plastic surgeon as if we were going shopping. Sometimes we would agree to do some procedure together, we were not afraid. We were slaves to beauty.’

t was a semi-naked ring bearer wearing Superman underpants and roller skates who stole the show at a recent Texas wedding - not the bride. Bobby and Shanna Lockhart from Lubbock decided to mix things up at their Willy Wonka-themed marriage ceremony last weekend and booked the elegant skater as a star guest. Video footage from their big day shows the topless male performer, known as Quis, gliding along and handing over the rings at the alter. He appears to be lost in deep concentration as he maintains a focused gaze. The congregation sit watching, open-mouthed. As he reaches his destination, Quis makes a swift exit so the ceremony can

continue. Newlywed Shanna, who works in sales for an online real estate company, says she and her husband heard about Quis via social media and thought his eccentric nature fitted perfectly with what they wanted to do. Sticking to the ‘ wacky’ theme, the church organ was adorned with candy-colored decorations and bags of chocolate were scattered around. The bridesmaids who wore dresses in all the colors of the rainbow - were also armed with giant edible lollipops in lieu of floral bouquets. Meanwhile, the vicar stepped out in a colorful candy-stripe shirt and chinos. When he’s not playing the role of ring bearer, Quis likes to perform other zany stunts
in his skimpy hero outfit. He goes by the stage name ‘Superman Drawls’ and to date his Instagram page has attracted more than 195,000 followers. Many fans have deemed his recent performance at the Lockhart’s December 13 wedding ‘epic’ and ‘hilarious.’ Steve Conway, who was the official photographer on the day, described it as the ‘best ring delivery . . . ever!’ The Lockharts flew Quis in from Florida in a bid to make their nuptials extra special. Footage from their ceremony shows the groom pretending to look frantically for the wedding bands. It seems none of the groomsmen know where the rings are. But then all of a sudden ‘Superman’ rolls in to save the day. ‘You can tell as he starts to come up the aisle, that the back row is kind of shocked,’ Shanna, 33, told Fox News. ‘Then waves of laughter, then applause, then just absolute eruption. People standing up, hooping and hollering.’ Shanna and Bobby first met in 1996 as teenagers but it took more than a decade for them to finally pin down a rendezvous.
he nine-year-old who wrote to China’s president advising him to lose weight - ‘not skinny like Obama... like Putin is OK’ A nine-year-old boy has become a victim of internet censors in China after writing a letter to the country’s President telling him to lose some weight. A note written by a primary school pupil Niu Ziru appeared on social media addressed to Chinese leader Xi Jinping, outlining his idea for the country to go on a space mission to Mars. But at the end of the letter, the student decided to give some health advice, saying: ‘You could lose some weight. You don’t have to look as skinny as Obama. Like Putin is okay!’ The note, which was done as part of a homework assignment, was never posted, but it was uploaded to Chinese sites by the child’s father, and
went viral. Users reposted the note across social media, and it eventually appeared on the sites of Zhengzhou Evening News and the state-owned Xinhua news agency. The boy’s parents and his school in Zhengzhou said they did not expect his letter to receive so much attention. His teacher, Eileen Wang, told Sky News: ‘It was weekend homework, for his Chinese assignment. A letter [written] to anyone or anything. He is a good student. ‘At our school, students are welcomed to speak up... so they have
crazy ideas like this.’ However it seems that the Chinese authorities have failed to share the joke. The story is now missing from all news websites, while links to the stories on other websites appear to be broken or deleted. On blogging site Weibo a search for Niu Ziru brings up no results, while search engine Baidu is also unable to find either the story or the boy.
Woman def ies cour der pr ohibiting loud sex defies courtt or order prohibiting A woman who was ordered by a British court to be quiet during coitus is making her point loud and clear: She refuses to stop screaming during sex. Caroline Cartwright, 53, of Sunderland, England is apparently so noisy with her husband of 38 years, that a British judge in 2010 ordered her to keep it down because neighbors complained. The order, known as an Anti-Social Behavior Order (ASBO), banned
Cartwright from shouting, screaming or vocalizing when getting down and dirty for a 4year period. Now she is speaking out about her carnal controversy.OnWednesday,she discussed her lusty legal problems on ASBO and Proud, a TV special on Channel 5, a British TV network. “It’s not as if I’m having sex and think ‘Oh, I’m making too much noise. I better be quiet,’” she said in the special, according to the Sunderland Echo. The ASBO was issued after police came to the Cartwright home more than 30 times to silence the passionate couple. Cartwright also breached a noise abatement order five times, and was given suspended jail terms of eight weeks and 12 weeks for violating the ASBO, UPI.com reports. The problem was
exacerbated when the Cartwrights bought a bed with an iron headboard that banged against the wall, the paper reports. “I did not understand whypeopleaskedmetobequiet because to me it is normal. I didn’t understand where they were coming from,” she told a judge during a court appearance, according to the Daily Mail. “I have tried to minimize the situation by being intimate in the morning — not at night — to avoid disturbing sleeping neighbors. With the ASBO lifted, Cartwright will keep doing what comes naturally with her husband. “As far as I’m concerned, that’s what you should be doing. Just relax. Go with the flow,” she said, according to the Mirror. She’s made one concession to the neighbors: A less noisy wooden bed.
