Sources connected to the show tell TMZ that in addition to the drinking donkey semen stunt, contestants also had to jump a car through a moving train. This stunt costed Fear Factor over $150,000 to put together and now no one will be seeing the expensive stunt on TV.

It has been reported that the staffers were baffled by NBC's decision to yank the episode because the semen challenge was "hands down the nastiest concept" out of the bunch of other stunts that were killed before coming to fruition.

Is that my Habbo?: Habbo, Habbo, where for art thou Habbo? Well, you'll never be in the knowing with the new "Room Hopper!". Unlike other teleporters that come in pairs, this one is quite the opposite. Simply place your hopper in one of your rooms and you will be randomly teleported to another room with a hopper in. Of course, this works two ways. Well, we've tried it out and we quite literally got lost in a world of adventure. What an awesome addition to the teleports of Habbo.

Habbo, since last winter our Habbo wardrobes have been packed with winter attire, well, if you're a VIP anyway. It's time to dig out the boots, jackets and hats because it's getting chilly. Take care of your pixels my friends!

What’s Around the Corner & What's up HabbCrazy?: Hey I heard you were a wild one, ooooh. You're about to fall in love with Habbcrazy all over again, after all, what should befall upon this month than Valentine's day? We've got some great things in-store for you, are you ready to have the lovely night of your life? Alone, or with that perfect someone, we're here. Make sure you stick around to see everything that's going on! Who knows, maybe we have a few suprises up our sleeves.

Celeb Spotter: She's been in the spotter before and she's now here again, that's right.. Kate Middleton. All over the world, the Duchess of Cambridge is known for her great fashion sense. Particluar after her stunning choice of wedding dress. It's just struck that Kate Middleton maybe planning a lovely shopping trip whilst her lover boy Prince William is away. She is apparently looking at visiting top fashion centres in Paris and Milan to pass the time whilst William is serving in the Falklands for six weeks. Not a bad way to splash the cash and fill your wardrobe, eh?

Top of the Tunes: At number one this week is the amazing Twighlight - Cover Drive. We do love this song, it makes me want to stay up and go for a walk in the middle of the night listening to it whilst looking up at the moon. There and again... if we're talking about the same Twighlight that imvolved vampires, that's probably not the best idea we've had, right?

101 things to do before you die: DIY! Do. It. Yourself. It's time to get out the tool belts you HabbCrazy fans. We're getting creative. The other day, myself and Owen made a shelf. Sure, Owens half was a bit wonky, but who really cares because we still did something we wouldn't normally think about doing. Whether it's putting up a shelf, or making your own birthday card, we want you to give it a shot!

Competition Time: It's that time of the week my friends when we role the mystical dice of fortune to see who will be the winner of this weeks competition! 

Last weeks question ‘What do you get when you mix the colours red and yellow?' came out with the simple answer of Orange.. but who won? Let's see. The winner of last weeks competition is..

Jase..Congratulations! You will be notified over PM on the forum and your prize and badges will be given to you shortly!

So onto this weeks question... What love-struck event falls upon the 14th day of this month? If you think you know the answer, all you have to do is drop Gingey a PM on the forum. For a shortcut to the profile, click here!

A month after Russell Brand and Katy Perry’s marriage came to an end, it has been reported that Katy’s ex, Travie McCoy has been comforting her.

The Teenage Dream hit singer, and British comedian ended their relationship towards the end of December, after only 14 months of marriage. Both partners have been seeking comfort from family and friends, including one of Katy’s bff’s Rihanna.

However recently it has been said that Gym Class Heroes front man, Travie McCoy, has also been visiting a sad Katy, trying to help her over her break-up. When spoken to, he had this to say:

“There will always be a connection between us, I’ll always be there for her. When you’ve been in a relationship like ours, you will always make time for that person. Katy was there for me through my hard times when things were really bad. Life goes on, I have regrets about the way things ended but there are no grudges anymore. I’ll always be there for her, she knows that.”

Everyone knows how tough it is to go through a break-up so it’s nice that Katy and Russell’s friends and family are being so supportive. However may old sparks fly as the ‘connected’ pair spend more time together?

A very peculiar German pensioner has finally tasted his tin of lard which was given to him six decades ago (yuck!).

The 87-year-old German pensioner, Hans Feldmeier, was given a tin of American lard 64 years ago in an aid package sent to war. It set it aside for an emergency.

After sending it to food safety experts and getting the all clear on the tin of lard, he decided to tuck in!

Frerk Feldhusen, a food expert, said that the lard would be tasteless and hard to dissolve, but ok to eat.

"All in all, given its level of freshness and its material composition, the product is assessed as satisfactory." Frerk told the AFP.

Mr Feldhusen said that the tin of lard didn't have any expiry date and shows that people need to think about throwing food away simply because the date on the label says it has expired. 

Fun fact: Food waste in the EU amounts to around 89 million tonnes a year.

Over 300 of the above 600 tally attacked other pupils and the others displayed troubled behavior.  More than fiftysuspensions were issued for verbally bullying or threatening an adult, twenty for the same crime to children and another twenty for damage they had caused.

A number of suspensions were given out to children in reception class, Year 1 and Year 2. Tiny terrors numbers have risen by 3% over the last few years.

"This shows the loss of adult authority. Teachers feel confused about how to gain the respect of four-year-olds and instead of exercising discipline opt for the easy option of expulsion." Said Professor Frank Furedi Author of Wasted: Why Education Isn't Educating.

The 4 Minutes singer is expected to tour for her latest album MDNA and will go worldwide, but yet fans have complained that the tickets are too expensive and even refusing to attend the show due to the outrageous prices. One ticket alone, to attend a Madonna concert will be £190 ($300) alone. She recently told her fans in an interview that she thinks her fans should save their pennies in order to see her live in concert. "People buy expensive bags all the times, so it shouldn't be a big deal that they're coming to see me". I don't know where you think I shop, but my bags tend to usually cost at least £30, if I'm lucky (I'm referring to school bags, my man bag). 

Madonna has already aired her recent single "Give Me All Your Luvin" with rap stars M.I.A. & Nicki Minaj. She is also set to play the Super Bowl this weekend (Feb 5th) to perform the single as well. Her album will be the 12th studio album she has managed to churn out, in her long career as a pop star. There has been much critcism against the title of the album as it resembles a 'drug' name.

"Was this relationship in your head? @HarveyOfficial?! Are you smoking something?! (I love it when she gets feisty) I think I've met you once or twice at public events... With your Wife!". The British beauty took to her Twitter and confronted the MC publically but we're yet to here his side of the story yet. Harvey had made shocking claims to Now! Magazine that he had an intimate relationship with the Girls Aloud singer and had the whole interview recorded due to the exclusivity of it. 

Cheryl Cole is said to be taking legal action against (ooooh so feisty, she so fierce) Now Magazine for publishing the inappropriate and false interview in their magazine. It has yet to be revealed that she will take legal action against MC Harvey. The spokesperson representing Cheryl Cole has denied any claims that Cheryl will be taking legal action and just wants the whole situation to 'blow over'

Wasn't he the same guy who cheated on Alesha Dixon? Would be ideal for Chezza, but that beautiful goddess would never. Sorry, I'll stoop swooning over her.

Amanda Holden has been reported to be making a full recovery and is now back at home.

The Britain’s Got Talent judge was left fighting for her life last week, after nearly bleeding to death following the birth of her daughter Hollie. She was later moved to intensive care, at a West London hospital and discharged three days later. Now at home, her spokes woman had this to say:

“Amanda has improved so much! She is surrounded by family and it seems to be just the tonic. She is thrilled to be home and Hollie is absolutely beautiful – Amanda and Chris are completely besotted with their girls.”

Amanda will hopefully be returning to Britain’s Got Talent in a few weeks, however bosses have said there is no rush. I for one am wishing her a speedy recovery, so she can return to her buzzer banging! And no guys, that is not an innuendo!

Over the span of February, BTH hopes to implement some great new features to make your experience, even better! But, no plans are final without the feedback from you. The Behind the Habbo Department want to hear your ideas before it’s too late so if you have something you want to say, be sure to Private Message MOD-Lauren or MattyD with your feedback. Over the course of February BTH has remained as lively as ever hosting some sneaky competitions and rather bizarre chats on the shoutbox! If you haven’t been down there yet, you’re missing out!

Forum Department

Over the course of January the Forum Department here at HabbCrazy has brought you some rather sassy competitions and it doesn’t stop there. Even with a bit of a domain mishap, we powered through to see a booming posting competition bringing the forum back to its lively self, did you get involved? We’ve seen spamming, rants, random topics and so much more that sometimes, there is simply too much to talk about! If you haven’t signed up to the forum yet, you best get down there, and fast!

Events Department

Well haven't the Events Department had a roller coaster of a time? With Megster back as Manager, we now have the sexiest department at HabbCrazy!

Though the timetable may not have always been “booming” we’ve certainly seen a change in the tables as more and more DJs role into HabbCrazy, booking more slots to bring you all the greatest hits.

Graphics Department

January and the year of 2012 have kick-started with a brand new department manager! With Boggart stepping down to Head Graphics, Hammy has taken the lead in overlooking the department. 

The Graphics department has seen a lot of work towards the middle and end of the month, such as exclusive requests being poured    in from all the staff departments. We’ve had avatars, rotating banners, column banners, ALTs and even a mind-boggling new site banner which we know you’re all dying to see! No fear, all will be revealed as we progress into the February month. Not too many hiring’s or firings, the graphics department remains as trust-worthy, cosy and dedicated as ever. We look forward to see what this freezing February may bring.

That’s the departments out of the way, phew!

As for the latest news, it's been a slow month here at HabbCrazy. We've been recovering after a great new years and are now ready to get out there and get down to work. However, here are some updates of what really happened in site news this month.

We opened BTH management applications for the first time and were very suprised with the quality of them. We received around 40 applications and the majority to were a very high standard which made it incredibly hard to pick the best. We tried to make the decision as quickly as possible and eventually decided that MattyD was the best person for the job! He will continue his trial for Behind the Habbo manager and hopefully advance further on that.

Jack has now also added a lottery to BTH to make getting points easier! You can now purchase tickets by going into 'My Account' and then clicking on 'Lottery'. In its first week, Kerp was the winner of the jackpot with the maximum of 2,160 points! After this, our moderator Mint5Mint5 won a handsome amount of 1,250 points. You can enter by clicking here and it only costs you ten points! It's a great way to earn some so why not?

Our forum also suffered some down-time earlier this month when our domain expired and we could not get it back. This required Jack to set up a temporary forum so that we could still entertain ourselves and Hammy could keep his life on track! We tried to get the best out of a bad situation and tried our hardest to get it back online as soon as possible. We thank you all for your co-operation during this time and promise it won't happen again! (or at least until it expires again...) 

So, what’s coming up at HabbCrazy? What delights have we to look forward to?

It’s time to get lovey dovey here at HabbCrazy! With Valentine ’s Day just around the corner, planning is in full swing to make sure that you have a rocking day whether you’re alone or with that perfect partner, be sure to watch out for any “interesting” changes that just might send your heart jumping into your throat. You’re about to fall in love with HabbCrazy all over again, I’m sure of it!

What do you want to see in the next monthly update? More juicy gossip? More department news? Whatever it is, we want to know. Also, be sure to submit your questions for a 'Q&A' session with the staff where you can ask management and administration question and get them answered in the next edition. It's a bit like WT(Friday) on Habbo.com! If you have an even better idea, let us know! If we answer your question you'll receive big prizes. 

Thank you for reading. Please submit any feedback to Chaz or post it in response to this! It's greatly appreciated.

A MODEL-mad pensioner has painstakingly turned a garden lawnmower into a striking red London bus.

Derek Jakeway, 77, is now hoping to find someone to give his brilliant mini-masterpiece a new home.

The London-born OAP has always had a fierce passion for the capital's transport system so he set himself the huge challenge of making the bus.

Derek, now of Thorpe St Andrew, Norfolk, said: "What interests me is solving problems and designing structures and buses and trains have always been a life-long interest of mine."

The father-of-four and grandfather-of-three added: "We have been in Norfolk for nearly 40 years but it is the London transport I am most interested in because I was brought up in Woodford Green."

Derek started his meticulous model project in 2007,  The former RAF serviceman said it took about four years to transform the ride-on lawnmower into a model bus as his son Duncan helped him with the electrics. The result is a stunning, life like replica of the iconic London red bus and seats four children or small adults plus the driver. The little bus even boasts working headlamps, interior lighting and a door that opens at the back for passengers to alightThe specially-converted lawnmower is not licensed to be driven on the roads.

He said: "As we are planning to move soon we do not think we will have room to take it with us so we are looking for a new home for the bus. I hope somebody will have a lot of fun with it. It would be good for somebody with a large garden."

The singer’s amazing voice has not been heard on stage and won’t be until next month when she sings live at the Grammys.

Adele had the compelling op in the US after being diagnosed with a vocal cord haemorrhage, which could have ultimately ruined her voice forever.

Adele is also supposed to show at the Brit Awards a week later than the Grammys.

But, after a brilliant recovery, the star has said she "can't wait" to perform at the Grammys.

Adele eagerly told her fans on Twitter: "Ima be singing at the Grammys. It's been so long I started to forget I was a singer! I can't wait, speak soon xx."

A couple in Florida were shocked to find they have an extra mouth to feed this week after a healthy kitten with an extra head was born!

The cat had been appropriately after the Batman villain Harvey Dent (Two-Face). There is nothing villainous about this cute kitten though!

Mr. Hand described the moment as he told his wife: '[She said] "What are you talking about? What do you mean two faces?" I said it has two faces! This cat has two faces!' (I would certainly be shocked!)

According to the owners, the cat is perfectly healthy with four working eyes, two mouths and two noses.

'They simultaneously work together, the two faces. When he eats on one side it looks like he is eating on the other... when he meows it comes out of both sides.' This certainly is a scientific phenomenon.

The couple sought help on the internet but only received people advising her to get the kitten put down, and described it as a "beast" and an "abomination". 

'We are definitely not going to kill it, I am not going to let somebody tell me that it needs to be done. It shouldn't be killed just because it is a little different.' Animals have the right to live, despite any deformities they might have. What a wise lady!

This is not the only case of a two-faced kitten. The two-faced cats are known as Janus cats after the Roman god with two faces. It is an extremely rare condition of diprosopus where two faces are mirrored on a single head.

The pictures show a family of Mascho-Piro people living in the Manu National Park, a remote area of the Amazon rainforest in Peru which is bordered with Brazil. The photographs were taken at the end of last year by an archeologist and were posted on a website called "Survival International" who is driven for rights to tribe members.

Mariela Huacchillo, from the office for Natural Protected Areas warned that even indirect contact with these tribes could bring deadly viruses into the area that don't exist in the region. Last October, a park ranger was lightly wounded by a blunt arrow fired by a Mascho-Piro native after getting too close to the tribe. Survival International mentioned on their website that a local had died who had been giving the Mascho-Piro people food gifts for the past 20 years.

Mrs Haucchillo said; "Outsiders should never attempt to enter in contact with these (isolated) communities, whose people are trying to remain apart from the outside world. Do not give them food or clothing and no tourism interests should be started with the goal of starting a contact with the isolated natives."

"Chronicle", set to come out this upcoming Friday, is about three high school students who discover they have superpowers, including the power to fly. The studio called Thinkmodo, who specializes in creating viral sensations. The co-founder said he and his partner were approached by the studio behind "Chronicle", and they set their plan into action, receiving approval for it less than a month ago.

The "flying people" are actually highly sophisticated radio controlled planes. The team employed model airplane builders in Oregon, Pennsylvania, and New York to build the three featured planes as well as two backups. Thinkmodo wouldn't reveal who was piloting the planes, only saying "[They] are expert Academy of Model Aeronautics members with amazing skills." The pilots practiced for only two days on Long Island before taking them for the big run. 

This is Sherri with Habbcrazy news, and this is one movie I'm thoroughly excited for!

Mr Flinn, a sheep and cattle farmer, said the fish were piled up to two feet deep in places. He said: ‘We had a call from the police about 3pm, saying there had been an accident down by my land and that there were fish everywhere.  When I got down there I expected to see boxes of fish fingers or something - but there was a 20 tonne silver sea of fish. It was quite a sight. It took them from about 7pm to 2am just to clear it all up. It was about ten metres in diameter - they were all over the place.'  The driver was initially taken to hospital, but seems to have had a lucky escape and later returned to the scene uninjured to drive the digger and help the rescue operation. A digger and a crane were called in as 12 men worked for seven hours straight in a ‘large scale’ clean-up operation following the accident.

Leigh, 26, was under arrest and was placed in a cell alongside Mexican immigrant drug dealers; this was under severe heavy guard overnight. The tweets issued by Leigh were involving 'Digging up Marilyn Monroe', they were treated like terrorists in fear that the pair would dig up the American beauty. Leigh had repeatedly told the officers that the tweets were merely a joke and that 'destroying' was known was English slang for partying 'hardcore'. Their cases were searched to look for spades as they believed they were going to dig up Marilyn's grave. Despite Leigh exclaiming the twitter was a quote from Family Guy, the guards simply brushed off the comments and replied "You've really ****ed up with that tweet boy".

The department of homeland refuse to comment on the situation and have deported the two to England. Is it weird that I only know about this because he is my friend? He posted this on Facebook;

The Department of Children and Families is looking into the incident, as well as the possibility of arrests pending the outcome of a criminal investigation.

Is that my Habbo?: Well this week has certainly been about the dragons of Chinese New Year. We have had 3 challenges so far, all concerning the dragon. A special dragon dance must be performed with a certain number of group members. You have 10 members all do the dragon dance for challenge one, then 20 for challenge two and finally 30 for challenge three. Smaller events such as "Name that Rare Dragon" have gotten lots of people interested in this amazing event.

What's up HabbCrazy?: Graphic of the Month is coming to a close, so head over to the forum to check out the information and submit your entry. Also Chaz our Community Manager would like to hear what you think of HabbCrazy at the moment and how we could improve. Simply head on down to the forums and hunt for the topic!

What’s Around the Corner?: Though it may seem like a while away, this is something that you need to get ready for! That’s right, it’s Sport Relief. Now, if you’re sat there thinking. What is this mystical event!? Let me tell you… Sports Relief is a large fundraising event with so many quick and easy ways to raise money! The event is sponsored by Sainsbury’s and the best way to get involved? The Sport Relief Mile! The money raised will utterly transform lives. You can’t get a feeling better than that! Sports Relief is winging its way into the UK from Friday 23^rd to Sunday 25^th March! It’s time to get your running shoes out folks, get stuck in!

Weekly Recommendation: This week, our recommendation isss……Ice skating! Now, I haven’t been ice skating in a while but I went with my friend over the weekend and it brought back to me how much I really do enjoy it. Though it can be a bit of a frozen shock when you land on your bottom, you’ve just got to get back up and try again! What are you waiting for, get out there! If you’re feeling particularly adventurous, you might even want to give Ice Hockey a go, even though you’ll need to get kitted up! Trust me, you’re missing out! It’s soooo much fun!

Celeb Spotter: This week in the celebrity limelight… Caroline Flack! After splitting from Harry Styles, Flack is looking in a “new direction”, get it? It would appear that the break up isn’t stopping her from scouting out a new potential fella! It is reported that the Xtra Factor host was spotted having a chit-chat with TOWIE star Joey Essex who has recently broken up with his Ex, Sam Faiers. The pair was even seen swapping phone numbers at the National Television Awards, cheeky!

Top of the Tunes: Jessie J's Domino is still Number 1 as this week draws to a close but can it hold the title for another week? We really like this song and think at times it is just absolutely amazing but we also love to see a bit of inter-chart competition so anything could happen!

101 things to do before you die: This week is something many do and have done but not all do. Join a club, these are groups of people who all do the same kind of thing together and can be bundles of fun for all your special interests. For example if you wanted to be in the Army a great club is Army Cadets, just look at the website of your county and you should be able to find a cadet hut near you. Or gymnastics for the springy flexible ones.

Competition Time: It's that time of the week my friends when we role the mystical dice of fortune to see who will be the winner of this weeks competition! 

Last weeks question ‘What is the name of the family dog on the popular cartoon, The Simpsons?' came out with the simple answer of Santa’s Little Helper.. but who won? Let's see. The winner of last weeks competition is..

ViperX (Ben)..Congratulations! You will be notified over PM on the forum and your prize and badges will be given to you shortly!

President Obama urged in his State of the Union Address that this rate should not be hiked. It remains to be seen if the debt-conscious Congress will act since extending the rate reduction will cost the government $5.6 billion each year. 

Congress has already elminated subsidized loans for graduate students as well as most discounts. They also cut $8 billion dollars out of the Pell Grant program for low-income students. 

If no action is taken, college students will have to dig into their pockets more than they currently do.

1. BetaMax: The war in the mid-1970's for home audience was a strong and ruthless one. You would think that Sony would of dominated and won with this since they were at the top of their power at the time. It didn't people traded in horrible picture quality (Which BetaMaxs made better) for time length. VHS obviously won the war. BetaMax's had a recording time of 1 hour and VHS had a recording time of 3 hours. 

2. eVilla Network Entertainment Center: While the idea of a network entertainment center makes sense today it was a little less obvious in 2001. It was meant to have a Web and Email that cost less than a standard PC. It flopped because Sony refused to support platforms like Shockwave & Windows Media, and a horrorfying $500 price point not to count monthly charges. Sony recognized this disaster quicky, killing the eVilla withing two months and refunding everyone who bought one.

For a complete list of products that Sony created that have flopped please visit my source: http://goo.gl/gO9NO

During the past year, Thorpe Park have been creating and building a new rollercoaster called ‘The Swarm’, a winged rollercoaster that gives its riders the impression that they are about to crash into the surrounding landscapes. However during crucial test runs, the dummies used in replacement of future riders, were badly injured, two even having their limbs sliced off!

Mike Vallis, the director at Thorpe Park had this to say:

“We have been planning for The Swarm for almost two years now, and we’ve pushed the boundaries to the absolute limit because ‘extreme’ is what our thrill-seeking customers demand. The ride-testing phase in absolutely crucial in ensuring extreme fun doesn’t compromise safety, and we work with the very best teams in the world to ensure we reach the gold standard in safety. So if that means re-modelling a church landscape that’s taken us a year to build, then so be it.”

The ride is due to open on March 15^th, however I’m not so sure anyone will want to be the first ones to ride this rollercoaster, just in case…

A cargo ship has smashed through a bridge in Benton, Kentucky after being too tall to go under it, leaving a 300ft gap in the structure.

The medium-sized vessel removed a large amount of asphalt and metal from the bridge as it crashed straight through. Luckily the bridge carries 2,800 vehicles over a day of which only 4 were on the bridge at the time, luckily no one was hurt.

Emergency officials were rushed to the scene, to assess the damage done to the bridge which is hoped can be rebuilt within a month. The ship was traveling on the Tennessee River on its typical route to Florida's Atlantic coast when it hit the old steel bridge, which was built in the 1930s.

Kentucky Governor Steve Beshear said: "We are grateful that this wreck caused no injuries or loss of life. Since that bridge carries 2,800 cars every day, we were very fortunate that no one was on the span at that time. We'll turn our attention to a full inspection of the bridge and determine what steps we can take next to speed up the replacement of that important artery."

It's been a pretty slow week to be honest, it might just be me but all I've been reading the past week is all these different bills coming out in America, if it's not SOPA stopping me from watching Gossip Girl. *cough* It's things like ACTA bills popping up, I don't even want to be here for that. Nonetheless, it's been pretty slow but I refuse to talk about nothing in my weekly column, so I hope you enjoy it. If you have any feedback on it, let me know :D

As you know, a copycat film of Valentine's Day has been released by the same Director called 'New Year's Eve', it's fairly tolerable although I'm adamant Zac Efron has gotten more fat. The next movie set to hit the screens is called 'What To Expect When You're Expecting' the movie has all of the leftover actors or actresses that weren't cast in 'Valentine's Day' and/or 'New Year's Eve' and have recently released promotional posters for the film. You can check out all the pictures here. However, despite some of bellys freaking me out because they look freakishly abnormal, I have to watch this hot mess. It stars a lot of actresses you would never think would be in the film such as Cameron Diaz, Jennifer Lopez & Anna Kendrick. Let's just hope these abnormal bellies are actual filled with humans and not some alien waiting to gnaw it's way out. I'm sorry but they look so weird, might just be me.

Enough of me freaking out over photoshopped pregnancy bellies. Here's an even more creepy topic to go onto, it may not star any celebrities but it certainly seems more on-topic with where I'm going at the moment. I'll keep it brief - Which companies are using aborted fetuses in their food? Was the topic of an article I read, fast food restaurantes have claimed to use a model of an aborted fetuses, or it might be a normal fetus. Check out one of the pictures here. Such places like McDonalds and Nestlé have denied claims. However, Burger King, Coca-Cola and Kraft have not yet commented, so apparently we're going to assume it's true. SO WEIRD.

Joan Rivers throws shade at Chelsea Handler and claims that Chelsea had slept her way to the top, however she did say she was okay. That's glad to hear you think she's okay, despite you thinking she's a [insert word here]. Joan claims Chelsea started it but Chelsea reckons Joan started it, to be honest I think I'm listening to a playground argument here. Chelsea replied to the claims and stated that Joan was looking down on her and told her to **** off. Joan then replied with "Who do you think you are?". If I carry on, It'll be like I'm commentating on someone's MSN convservation about who spat in someone's hair. But I can say Joan has got her claws out for Chelsea, meow. Check out the rest of the article here. 

Rihanna and Chris Brown are allegedely back together, a while back Chris Brown had beaten up Rihanna and had to serve community service for the acts. You would assume that RiRi the goat wouldn't go anywhere near him, but there have been claims recently that they're back together. They were spotted both the same club a couple of days ago but weren't seen leaving together, an restraining order of some kind was lifted over a year ago, so I guess that doesn't stop the F.A.M.E. singer from chasing after her. Love is blind. Rihanna also becomes more gangster and get's a tattoo saying Thug Life across her knuckles in invisible ink, she tweeted some 2pac lyrics which sprung up some rumours about whether or not it was real, check out the picture here. She is too gangster for me, wouldn't want to mess with her...

Another thing that was going across the internet like wildfire was - Miley Cyrus eating phallic birthday cakes, you can see a picture of it but I chose to sensor it out as we have some younger people reading this column - here. We all know, if you're a ex-Disney star or a current one, and you do anything remotely bad ass, you will be all over the internet and turned into Satan. Miley was only eating the cake for her boyfriend Liam's party, what worries me even more is that he has a cake like that at his birthday. Just makes me want to sing Birthday Cake by Rihanna. Cake cake cake cake cake cake cake cake cake cake. 

One final thing - Lady Gaga's boyfriend of six months Taylor Kinney wants Lady Gaga to be normal for him. Taylor has managed to convince the singer he prefers the real Stefani and to check her alter ego in at the door. Lady Gaga only maintains the persona for her fans and we all know who she adores more. Luckily, the singer promised her boyfriend that she promised to be 'more human', but hey, she was born that way. Little monsters put your paws up! Source

We didn't believe the rumours a couple of months ago when he repeatedly denied the claims that the two were a couple (ouch for Jordin), but it was recently reveleaed that the two have been confirmed as a couple! Derulo must of started re-thinking his personal life whilst in recovery and couldn't when he was busy touring around the world. Ever since he fratured his neck (due to a dance routine and completely paralysed him), he's managed to open up to a few magazine sources about his love life (oooh la la, does that sound gay?)

"We are together. She lives in Phoenix and she comes to [Miami] and takes care of me, brings me breakfast in bed and she'll go on walks with me. We've gotten closer because of my accident. It's awesome to have someone you can talk to and she's a wonderful person".

I think it might of just been me that was thinking she's lost a lot of weight in those latest pictures, she looks great nonetheless.

The artist, Yi Hong, based in Shanghai, created a portrat of Chinese NBA star Yao Ming using a bucket of red paint and a basketball.

The young artist, also known as 'Red', post a video of her creating the astonishing and strange portrait on her YouTube channel. The technique used: a basketball and a bucket of red paint. Wait, what?

"Here's a painting of NBA superstar Yao Ming I did, with some red paint and a basketball! I guess all those years of basketball training in high school did come in handy!" said Yi about the painting. She also describes herself as an artist who, "Loves to paint, but without a paintbrush!"

The video has attracted over 271,000 views and is still growing!

The video is time-lapsed and shows Yi gently place a basketball into a bucket of red paint before carefully bouncing it onto the white canvas. What an unusual, but effective technique!

"I moved to Shanghai for work May 2011 and I'm loving this crazy, fast-paced city!" she writes on her channel.

She also revealed she will be premiering her next project next Wednesday.

Sticks and stones may break the bones, but words pierce the soul.

Phillip Parker, 14. Kayla Wright, 15. EricJames Borges, 19. Amanda Cummings, 15. Sheniz Erkan, 14. Jon Carmichael, 13. Myelle Nash, 15. What do all these names have in common? They, among many other teens, chose to end their life after being bullied. The reasons all vary, but the bullying was all the same. This epidemic has brought tragedy upon us in various parts of the world – not just centralized to one country. The most painstaking part is that it CAN be stopped.

Here’s the statistics:

Every single person can take simple steps to stomp out bullying.

1 – Be nice to everyone you meet. Even if they’re mean to you, kill them with kindness.
2 – Think about what you say and what you post. Before you call someone a name or make a post insulting someone, think about it. Could this be hurtful to someone else?
3 – Stand up! If you see another person being bullied, whether online or in person, say something. Don’t stand by and let them suffer. Be a friend, tell them that it gets better. If you, or someone you know, is having suicidal thoughts – get help. There’s suicidal hotlines in place, some SPECIFICALLY for teens to help you through it all.
4 – Join the “it gets better” project at http://www.itgetsbetter.org
5 – Spread the word.

Together, we can change the world.

Doctors found that the 15-year chronic chicken nugget addiction has left her with anaemia and inflamed veins on her tongue. Her body was so deficient in vitamins and nutrients that she had to be injected with them! Even though she has been told to change her diet immediately, she says she cannot give up the fast food. Stacey, who is recovering at home in Castle Vale, Birmingham is on a high-dose course of vitamins. 

Stacey says the following about her addiction, "I loved them so much, they were all I would eat." "I just couldn't face even trying other foods. Mum gave up giving me anything else years ago." She admits that she will occasionally vary her food intake by eating a slice of toast for breakfast or a packet of crisps. 

This story has gotten international attention calling for McDonald's to change their recipe. With this headline, people are curious how is McDonald's making those chicken nuggets.

Most cases that involve minor but a few offences are handled rather quickly, Slevin’s case however wasn’t resolved until June 2007, meaning he spent 2 years in prison waiting for his charges to be analysed and resolved. Even then the only reason why he was released was because a district judge found him ‘incompetent and not dangerous’, which meant that Slevin had been imprisoned for 2 years when he wasn’t really a threat, like the police had said he was. Mr Slevin’s lawyer had this to say:

“My client had been kept in virtual ‘false imprisonment’ and been left to ‘decay’ in jail.”

Slevin said that whilst in jail he was even forced to remove one of his own teeth after he was refused permission to visit a dentist. After his trial, the 58-year-old has been awarded with $22m (£12m), to compensate for his not-needed time in jail.

The County authorities however argued that the length of Slevin’s imprisonment was applicable due to the length of his criminal history, which was 26 pages long. They continued to say that they will be appealing against the award Slevin has received.

If drinking and driving leads to 2 years in prison, I’ll be leaving my bicycle where it is when I leave I’ve had one too many!

The couple were left in disgrace when they saw that around six bouquets, which were placed there by Chloe's friends, had been stolen in the night.

Lots of the flowers, and a bucket that was also took, were pink — Chloe's favourite colour, a memorial to which she deserved.

The young girl died last Friday at home in Havant, Hants — just a few weeks before she had been due to have a flight to America for an operation to help fight the rare bone cancer Osteosarcoma.

Her bravery had touched millions of hearts, including Coronation Street star Tracy Shaw's. Who had helped raise the £10,000 needed for the trip to America.

Police are now investigating the theft, which happened between 8pm Wednesday night and 7.30am Thursday morning.

Sgt Richard Thompson said: "This is a despicable incident in which two parents, devastated at the loss of their daughter, have suffered further distress at the hands of heartless thieves.

Tottenham bosses Harry Redknapp and Milan Mandaric both deny that they cheated the public revenue system while they were in Portsmouth. Mr Redknapp told officers: "I am not going to fiddle taxes, I pay my accountant a fortune to look after me. I am completely and utterly disorganised. I write like a two-year-old and I can't spell."

Jurors have also heard that they lost a total of £250,000 on a "very unsuccessful" bid for Oxford United. The court had found out earlier that Mr Redknapp was in fact responsible for the Monaco bank account in the name of his dog "Rosie". Mr Mandaric made untaxed payments of up to around £189,000 pounds into the Monaco bank account while Redknapp was manager at Portsmouth.

Mr Redknapp added: "I was getting bigger than him Mr Mandaric at the football club and he didn't like it really." When England striker Crouch was sold on for a £3m profit, Mr Redknapp said he was due 10%.

FIFA 12 has become the biggest selling sports video game ever according to chart company GFK-Chart Track. It says the game has just held on to its fifth consecutive week at number one, meaning it has had a total of seven weeks at the top spot.

It was released in September 2011 and sold 3.2 million copies around the world in its first week in the shops. Publisher Electronic Arts says the game sold 2.4 million units in the UK alone last year.

That was 50,000 more copies than FIFA 11 sold during the same period in 2010.

The figures include only so called 'packaged goods' so don't account for smartphone or tablet PC sales.

Speaking just after the launch of FIFA 12 Executive Vice-President of EA Sports said he hoped the game would continue to sell well beyond its first few weeks in the shops.

"FIFA 12 is a stunning achievement by our team at EA Canada.

"We intend to keep them [the fans] engaged all season long as FIFA 12 follows the heartbeat of the football season".

This is .:RoomHelper:. going to play my FIFA 12 on Xbox 360.

Phillip Parker, 14 from Gordonsville has taken his own life this week because he felt like life just wasn't worth living. His parents said he was constantly bullied for being gay.

"He was fun, he was energetic, he was happy", said Phillip's mother.

To his many friends, Phillip was known as the boy who told everyone they're beautiful.

"I should have knew something was wrong, but he seemed happy", said Phillip's mother.

"He kept telling me he had a rock on his chest," said Phillip's grandmother. "He just wanted to take the rock off where he could breathe."

Philip's family have said that they reported their concerns over Philips bullying to his school on multiple occasions, but the bullying simply just got worse.

Phillip's parents found his body Friday (20th January) afternoon, moments later they found a handwritten note in his trash that read 'Please help me mom'.

"Whether it's verbal or physical a counselor at the school should be on top of it and notify the parents. We weren't notified, and Phillip didn't tell us about it", said his parents.

Tennessee, the state Phillip lived in, is even considering making the situation of kids like him worse by passing a law that would keep teachers from just mentioning the word 'gay', preventing any attempt for teachers to counter the rampant anti LGBT bullying in schools or teaching kids like Philip that been LGBT is perfectly fine or teaching kids that being gay doesn't make you a lesser person.

This new bill, also known as the "licence to bully", also allows students to express their religios views about homosexualy to a student such as saying "homosexuality is an abomination and punishable by death".

The vice pointed out in the statement that digital music sales rose (a hell of a lot) in 2010 when Limewire was shut down. Limewire is also known as a file sharing service but uses a client to distribute the files to users, this was shut down in 2010 due to similar reasons to MegaUpload. The vice also stated that the shut down of file sharing services such as the two, helps increase digital sales significantly and will help the music industry a significant amount. It also allows services such as Spotify to expand themselves and become more accessible to people round the world. 

The New York Times reported in the past that big time file sharing organisations such as Filesonic, Fileserve, Videobb & 4shared (There was a long list of them which you can see here but those are the only ones that are relevant) have taken extra precautions in preventing their fate similar to MegaUploads. It would seem that major record labels such as Universal (main culprits for taking down Megaupload) and RIAA are investing a lot of money into taking down more file sharing services to increase their digital sales.

In related news (it's not really, but I think it's funny). MegaUpload executive/owner/director Kim Dotcom is apparently making an album, he is currently making a track titled "MegaUpload Mega Song" which is being produced by Printz Board. The VP of Printz Boardz reckons, Kim Dotcom is pushing the musical boundaries and reckons this will make a large impact and think it could go all the way. (LOL)
