Apparently, Cheryl Cole has been axed from US X factor because of her strong Geordie accent. Seems they didn't know she had it when she was signed up. Even Simon, who she worked with on UK X factor.

Back to Robbie eating the cake, I hope it wasn't too big a piece as Take That are starting their tour tonight in Sunderland. Don't want him to be too overweight for that.

 

It's a real concern.

A MUM who smoked 20 fags a day while pregnant insisted last night ciggies were GOOD for the baby.

Charlie Wilcox, 20, puffed her way through 3,500 cigarettes while carrying daughter Lilly.

She was warned that the habit was putting the unborn baby at risk by lowering her oxygen levels.

But incredibly Charlie believed that was beneficial - because it would force the baby's heart to work harder and make her STRONGER.

As she cuddled Lilly, now 14 weeks, Charlie, who took up the habit at 14, said: "It was my right - and I don't believe it was hurting Lilly. Where's the proof that it's so bad to smoke?

"I think if I'd given up straight away the stress would have been even more harmful to the baby."

While she was pregnant midwives tested Charlie's carbon monoxide levels and found they were SIX times higher than those considered safe.

They warned her she risked the baby being born premature, below weight or with a range of other medical problems such as respiratory infection. One specialist even warned her: "Your baby is struggling for oxygen and it's saying, 'Help me'."

Retrospective abortion for the mother is not an option??

 

She should not be permitted to reproduce further, at risk of increasing the "stupid" gene pool!

Russian man dies burying himself alive

A Russian man died after burying himself alive in a friend's garden in the Far Eastern city of Blagoveshchensk in an endurance test that went wrong, according to investigators.

The 35-year-old man wanted to test his endurance and asked his friend to help him spend the night buried, according to Alexei Lubinsky, a senior aide to the region's chief investigator.
The two men dug a hole in the garden and put inside an improvised coffin with holes for air pipes. The man also took a blanket, a bottle of water and a mobile phone.
The victim's friend told investigators he covered the hole with planks and earth to a depth of around eight inches and then went home, after receiving a phone call from his friend telling him he was fine. The next morning, he found his friend dead.


A bit silly really.

And another!

 

------------

 

A 17-year-old student in Anhui Province sold one of his kidneys for 20,000 yuan only to buy an iPad 2. Now, with his health getting worse, the boy is feeling regret but it is too late, the Global Times reported today.

 

"I wanted to buy an iPad 2 but could not afford it," said the boy surnamed Zheng in Huaishan City. "A broker contacted me on the Internet and said he could help me sell one kidney for 20,000 yuan."

 

On April 28 Zheng went to Chenzhou City in neighboring Hunan Province for the kidney removal surgery arranged by the broker. His parents knew nothing about it, Zheng said. He was paid 22,000 yuan after his right kidney was taken out at the Chenzhou No. 198 Hospital.

 

When he returned home, his mother found out and reported to the police immediately. But they could not locate the broker whose cell phone was always powered off, the report said.

 

It turned out that the Chenzhou No. 198 Hospital was not qualified to perform organ transplant. The hospital claimed they had no idea about Zheng's surgery because the department that did the surgery had been contracted to a Fujian businessman.
