Hundreds attend Spanish bullfighter matador's funeral as coffin is carried through the streets

03:49:00    No comments

Hundreds of people lined the streets to pay their respect to the first bullfighter to be gored to death in 30 years. 
Victor Barrio, who was fatally gored in a bullring on the weekend, was laid to rest in a packed church in Sepulveda and people applauded as the coffin was carried Monday from a hearse.
The 29-year-old Barrio died after being gored in the thigh and chest live on TV in the central city of Teruel on Saturday.
Matador Victor Barrio’s widow thanked well-wishers for their support today but confessed she was too devastated to say anything.
On Sunday, Raquel Sanz, 32, wrote on Twitter: 'Thanks to everyone. I cannot reply to you, I have no words. My life has gone, I have no strength, although I have a lot of thanks.'
She also thanked her home town of Sepulveda in the province of Segovia north-west of Madrid, writing: 'Thanks Sepulveda. Our Sepulveda. Yours and Mine' and telling her late husband in an emotional message: 'I’m sure that where you are you have a privileged view.'
Admitting it would be a 'tough day' and branding life 'unfair', she posted a poem by Spanish poet Jose Leon which ended with the words: 'How I would love to believe that there is glory for all those who lose their lives on the horns of bulls.
'If that is not the case, then rest in peace wherever you are and us poets will make sure you become immortal.' 
Ms Sanz, who married Barrio in 2014, was said to be 'devastated' as she saw her husband lying motionless on the ground, according to El Espanol.

Don't feed Monkeys: Man who disregard order is swarmed by the primates and the internet RESPONDED

03:49:00    No comments

Whoever said rules were meant to be broken has clearly never ignored signs instructing tourists not to feed the monkeys. 
This hapless man learnt the hard way when he attempted to hand out snacks to local primates.
A picture has emerged online of what looks like a tourist being swarmed by the furry creatures.
Surrounded by the remnants of a bag of treats, the monkeys clamour to grab some food, with some of the braver ones even climbing onto the man's head. 
In the photo, which appeared on Reddit, just part of the man's shorts and T-shirt can been seen through the wall of furry limbs.
Despite these warnings, and many other reasons for not feeding monkeys, tourists continue to do so in various countries around the world. 
Just a couple of months ago, MailOnline Travel reported on a video of a horrified tourist having her mobile snatched by a monkey in Leshan, Sichuan Province, China.
The woman was leaning forward with an arm outstretched to feed the creature during a tour, but as well as snatching her edible offerings, the cheeky monkey also swiped her smartphone.
The internet responded with a barrage of memes. 
The location and the man were both mocked up in a range of different scenarios.

Loneliest Honeymoon: Newly wedded bride shares honeymoon pictures WITHOUT her husband after he was denied visa

03:49:00    No comments

Most newlyweds spend their honeymoon relaxing on the beach, visiting incredible places and making special memories together.
But one bride was forced to go on her dream holiday WITHOUT her groom after he was denied a visa - leaving him unable to fly to Greece.
However, Huma Mobin managed to add some humour to the bad situation - by capturing some amazing snaps of her husband-less honeymoon .
In the images, the young woman can be seen posing in an array of beautiful locations - with her mouth open and her head tilted back in devastation.
She also has one arm outstretched - as if she is hugging her invisible husband.
Later in the holiday, after accidentally dropping her phone in the Aegean Sea, Huma altered her pictures so they took into account her second loss.
She continued to pose with an arm held out (to highlight her lack of husband) - but also opened up a palm (to address her lost phone).
Huma, from Lahore, Pakistan, had planned to visit Greece with her spouse, Arsalaan Sever Butt, last month for their second honeymoon.
The couple tied the knot seven months ago, but their plans for a dream holiday were ruined when Arsalaan, an architect, was not granted a visa in time for it.

Forbes 2016 Highest-Earning Celebs: Taylor Swift top list with $170 million earned

03:14:00    No comments

Taylor Swift has been named the highest-paid celebrity of 2016 by Forbes. The magazine has just released its annual Celebrity 100 list that features the 26-year-old at the top spot, thanks to the $170 million she earned from June 2015 to June 2016.

Most of her money came from her star-studded "1989" tour, which smashed The Rolling Stones' North American touring record as it grossed more than $200 million. She also earned her payday from her deals with Apple, Diet Coke and Keds.
Swift last year landed at the list's No. 8 with her previous best of $80 million. Now, she defeats a bunch of other famous faces including One Direction (No. 2 with $110 million), Kevin Hart (No. 6 with $87.5 million), Howard Stern (No. 7 with $85 million) and Adele (No. 9 with $80.5 million).

She also bests her ex Calvin Harris who lands at No. 21 with $63 million and her nemesis Katy Perry who sits at No. 63 with $41 million. Had Swift and Harris stayed together, they would have been this year's top-earning couple, surpassing Beyonce Knowles and Jay-Z's $107.5 million total.

Despite being the one topping the Forbes list, Swift isn't featured on the magazine's cover. Instead, the publication has Kim Kardashian's face on the front page. The reality TV star also makes the list, bowing at No. 43 with $51 million. Around 40% of that sum came from her mobile game, "Kim Kardashian Hollywood".
  1. Taylor Swift - $170 million
  2. One Direction - $110 million
  3. James Patterson - $95 million
  4. Cristiano Ronaldo - $88 million
  5. Dr. Phil McGraw - $88 million
  6. Kevin Hart - $87.5 million
  7. Howard Stern - $85 million
  8. Lionel Messi- $81.5 million
  9. Adele - $80.5 million
  10. Rush Limbaugh - $79 million

Lil Wayne is hospitalized again for seizure as Fans fear the worst

02:28:00    No comments

Lil Wayne was hospitalized again last week after suffering a severe seizure, forcing him to cancel a performance for a pre-UFC party at TAO nightclub in Las Vegas. It was just a month after his plane made emergency landing in Nebraska and Omaha following two seizures.
Weezy's close friends including Nicki Minaj and 2 Chainz "fear the worst" as the rapper is acting like he has a "death wish." A source close to Weezy tells HollywoodLife.com, "Lil Wayne's got issues, bro. It's like he has a death wish by the way he's taking care of himself. Every night is a party. Nicki and 2 Chainz have been talking to him behind the scenes, trying to get him to slow down but they're not getting through to him. At this point, those close to him expect the worst."
"Nicki has told him in the past that his ass needs to stop risking his life," says another source, noting that the "Anaconda" rapper has planned to "grill him like never before once he's 100-percent in perfect health."
Weezy was released from hospital after a brief stay in the ICU and he's now resting in Miami. The 33-year-old rapper reportedly blaming the incident on a prescription medication mix-up.
Weezy hasn't commented on his latest health scare yet. On Monday, July 11, the "Mirror" rapper posted on Instagram a promotional video for his upcoming shows at Nos Events Center in San Bernardino, California. As the clip was full of marijuana, Weezy's fans showed concerns for his health.
One fan commented, "CHILL ON DEM ACTIVITIES BRUH WE CANT LOSE THE ONLY GOAT WE GOT LEFT." A second fan wrote, "Lil wayne stop with da lean. Id hate to see you die." Another one shared, "N***a if you die off this s**t umma follow your a** and slap that s**t out you...so please stop."

Khloe Kardashian evict Lamar Odom out of her Calabasas mansion

10:42:00    No comments




It looks like it's full steam ahead for Khloe Kardashian in her separation from Lamar Odom.

After filing for divorce for the second time in May this year, the reality star has been very outspoken about moving on from her basketball player ex.
And in order to get the 36-year-old out of her life, she needs to get him out of her house.
According to reports from gossip site TMZ , the Keeping Up With The Kardashians star has kicked Lamar out of the Calabasas property she was renting for him.
Following the sportsman's overdose, when he was found unconscious in a Las Vegas brothel last year, Khloe allegedly put up $25,000 (£19,300) a month for him to live in a house near to hers so that she could help in his recovery.
But new reports suggest the 32-year-old has had enough of his antics after a crack pipe was allegedly found on the property.
The site claims that Lamar is now crashing on friends' sofas until he finds someplace new.

Spanish matador's widow tells of her heartbreak- 'My life has gone, I have no strength'

04:32:00    No comments

Matador Victor Barrio’s widow thanked well-wishers for their support today but confessed she was too devastated to say anything.
Raquel Sanz, 32,  wrote on Twitter: 'Thanks to everyone. I cannot reply to you, I have no words. My life has gone, I have no strength, although I have a lot of thanks.'
She also thanked her home town of Sepulveda in the province of Segovia north-west of Madrid, writing: 'Thanks Sepulveda. Our Sepulveda. Yours and Mine' and telling her late husband in an emotional message: 'I’m sure that where you are you have a privileged view.'
Admitting it would be a 'tough day' and branding life 'unfair', she posted a poem by Spanish poet Jose Leon which ended with the words: 'How I would love to believe that there is glory for all those who lose their lives on the horns of bulls.
'If that is not the case, then rest in peace wherever you are and us poets will make sure you become immortal.' 
Ms Sanz, who married Barrio in 2014, was said to be 'devastated' as she saw her husband lying motionless on the ground, according to El Espanol.
The matador was taken to hospital unconscious but doctors could not do 'anything' to resuscitate him and save his life. 
He rolled to the ground in a painful somersault after the 87 stone beast caught him while he tried to deflect it with 'muletazo' manoeuvre, reports La Razon.es.
An initial medical report conducted by Dr Ana Cristina Martinez Utrillas confirmed Barrio suffered devastating injuries as a result of the bull attack. 
The report said Barrio was gored in the right chest and was in cardiac arrest by the time he was in hospital. 
He underwent immediate resuscitation and was intubated. He also was given an emergency tracheotomy to allow him to breathe.
However, the bull had speared Barrio through the lung and severed an aorta in his chest carrying oxygenated blood around his body. 
There was also damage around his heart.   
The Los Maños bred bull, named Lorenzo, had reportedly been struggling but caught the showman off guard after a gust of wind affected his waving of the crutch.
The matador met his match at the annual festival named Feria del Ángel, reports El Mundo.
The horrific goring was shown live on TV, and viewers have uploaded footage of the scene on social media.
After going into cardiac arrest in the hospital there was no hope for Barrio, who died of a fatal goring with a perforation of the lung and thoracic aorta.

Research: Children who suck their thumb cut their risk of developing an allergy

04:08:00    No comments

It's a dilemma faced by millions of parents worldwide – how to stop their children sucking their thumb.
But researchers have found that the habit may bring unexpected health benefits – and the same is true for nail biting.
Scientists have discovered that children who sucked their thumbs or bit their nails were more than a fifth less likely to have allergies as adults.
And if they did both bad habits, the risk was slashed by more than a third.
Researchers believe these children ingested the bacteria living under their nails which strengthened their immune system, making them less susceptible to allergies.
This is known as the ‘hygiene hypothesis’ – and is also a possible explanation as to why allergies are commoner now than during Victorian era when sanitation was far worse.
But despite their findings, they would not want parents to actively encourage their children to thumb suck or bite nails as there can be other health risks.
They tend to be more susceptible to picking up tummy bugs and thumb sucking may pull the front teeth forward.
And there is no evidence from this study that the habits reduce the risk of asthma or hayfever, one of the commonest allergies.
But the discovery may help allay parents’ fears if they are really struggling to wean children off the habits, according to the team from the University of Otaga in New Zealand.
Estimates show that around 50 per cent of children suck their thumbs or two fingers and another 30 per cent bite their nails.
Professor Bob Hancox looked at the records of 1,037 women and men who have been followed since they were children in the early 1990s as part of a major New Zealand health study.
All had undergone finger prick tests to check if they had any allergies aged 13, and again at 32.
On average, 49 per cent had at least one allergy aged 13 or 32 but this was slashed to 38 per cent if they bit their nails or sucked thumbs.
If they did both, the risk of having an allergy was cut to just 31 cent, according to the findings published in the journal Pediatrics.
Professor Hancox said: ‘The findings support the “hygiene hypothesis”, which suggests that being exposed to microbes reduces your risk of developing allergies.
Stephanie Lynch, a medical student who was also involved in the project said: ‘They ingest the bacteria living under their nails and as it goes through it may influence the immune system into working in a different way.
‘That builds an immune response, making them less susceptible to allergies.’
‘I wouldn’t tell children to go out and suck their thumbs but it may just give a little peace of mind to parents and take the stress out.’
Most children suck their thumbs from the ages of 3 to 6 to sooth themselves, or sometimes because they are bored.
If they continue much older when their adult teeth start to come through, they can push the front ones forward so they are wrongly aligned.

Serena Williams hints she could call it quits moment Venus decidesto hang up her racket

03:44:00    No comments

Serena, 34 , equalled Steffi Graff’s total of 22 Grand Slam titles by beating Angelique Kerber 7-5 6-3 on Saturday, and now stands just two wins away from equalling Margaret Court’s all-time record of 24.
But once 36-year-old Venus , with whom Serena went on to win the ladies' doubles on Saturday evening, ends her time on the tour then her younger sister could follow suit.
Serena said: “It would be hard to carry on playing if she retired.
“Who knows? But she is definitely my backbone on this journey we have been on for a really long time. Hopefully she won’t be retiring soon.
“It would be so weird going to Grand Slam tournaments and not seeing her around, but I know she absolutely loves being out here and sometimes is like, ‘Wow, I really, really love it’.”

Revenge: Osama bin Laden's son vows to pay back United States for assassinating his dad

02:49:00    No comments

The son of Osama bin Laden has promised to take revenge for the assassination of his dad.
Taking to social media in a 21-minute rant, Hamza bin Laden vows to continue with al-Qaeda’s work.
The late al-Qaeda leader had been the world's most wanted man since the 9/11 terror attacks on America in 2001.
He was tracked down to a compound in Abbottobad, Pakistan, and killed on May 2 2011 in a raid by US special forces.
In a video, posted on Twitter, the terrorist's son says that the United States will be targeted in terror attacks similar to 9/11.
The footage was released by Al-Qaeda, and sees Hamza claim: "We are all Osama”.
Bin laden said: "We will continue striking you and targeting you in your country and abroad in response to your oppression of the people of Palestine, Afghanistan, Syria, Iraq, Yemen, Somalia and the rest of the Muslim lands that did not survive your oppression.
"As for the revenge by the Islamic nation for Sheikh Osama, may Allah have mercy on him, it is not revenge for Osama the person but it is revenge for those who defended Islam."
He is understood to be aged 24.

Hollywood Vampires Concert: Aerosmith's Joe Perry rushed to Hospital after collapsing on stage

01:53:00    No comments

Aerosmith's lead guitarist Joe Perry was forced to leave the stage during a performance with Hollywood Vampires on Sunday night, July 10. The veteran rocker fell ill during the concert at the Ford Amphitheater at Coney Island Boardwalk and collapsed about thirty seconds into the show. According to fans, Perry looked "noticeably ill" that night. In a video taken at the gig, he was sitting on the drum riser while playing guitar, before walking off the stage. He apparently lost consciousness and collapsed backstage, and EMTs on site revived him.
He was immediately transported to Coney Island Hospital at around 9:30 P.M. ET and was later transferred to Columbia Presbyterian Hospital for an unspecified reason. The NYPD told ABC News that Perry was listed in stable condition at Coney Island Hospital.
Hollywood Vampires continued performing after Perry collapsed backstage. "If you notice one of our brothers is not onstage with us, he was very sick before show," Alice Cooper, the lead singer of the supergroup Hollywood Vampires, said to address Perry's absence. He also asked the audience to chant "Get well, Joe."
After the concert, Cooper took to Twitter to inform fans that Perry "is stable right now, with family & is under the best care." A rep for the band also told Rolling Stone, "Joe Perry is stable and resting. His brother Vampires and fans wish him a speedy recovery."

Reconciliation: Selena Gomez wants Justin Bieber back

01:13:00    No comments

According to In Touch, the "Hands to Myself" hitmaker now wants to win back her ex-boyfriend's heart after their mutual friend Christina Grimmie was murdered last month.

Citing an "insider," the publication claimed that Gomez's willing to give her relationship with Bieber another chance after Grimmie's tragic death helped her re-evaluate her life. "[Gomez] realized that life is short, so she called [Bieber] and told him she loved him," said the source, who then revealed that Bieber had no desire to rekindle his relationship with his on-and-off girlfriend because he already had Kourtney Kardashian.
"[Bieber's] quietly seeing Kourtney Kardashian again," the source explained. "The news was a blow to Selena... who is used to relying on Justin in tough times. Selena was enraged. Now, she's incessantly calling, texting, and emailing [Bieber]. She's determined to get him back."

Before Jelena shippers get too excited, Gossip Cop has debunked the "false" story. A source close to the situation first branded In Touch "disgusting" for mentioning the late Grimmie in the fabricated article. The source went on clarifying that Bieber never quietly saw Kardashian and slamming the report about Gomez trying to win back Bieber with non-stop phone calls, text messages and emails.

It was almost too much- Tarzan gay kiss was cut from final film edit

03:27:00    No comments

A gay kiss was cut out of the final edit of the new Tarzan film - because test audiences were left "perplexed" by it, the director has revealed.
Former adaptations of the story have focused on the main character's developing romance with heroine Jane, but this latest revelation has raised the question: Could he have enjoyed another romance?
The new film, The Legend of Tarzan, includes a character named Captain Leon Rom, a ruthless Belgian soldier played by Christoph Waltz, who is now rumoured to be Tarzan's secret love interest.
The film initially included a gay kiss between the lead character, played by Alexander Skarsgård, and Captain Rom, but director David Yates has now admitted it was cut out of the final edit.
Tarzan and Captain Rom appear close throughout the film however, and the deleted scene reportedly showed Rom kiss Tarzan while he's unconscious.
Yates told the Times : "We pared it back because it was almost too much. It was this really odd, odd moment when Christoph kisses him.
"We loved it at the time. But early test audiences were perplexed by it and in the end it just felt too clever and overworked."
The captain allegedly told Jane following the 'kiss': "Your husband’s wildness disturbs me more than I can even express."
Yates also revealed that some passionate scenes between Tarzan and Jane had to be toned down during editing.
He added: "I liked the idea that they could have great sex, and that it could get quite primal.
"The cut we ended up with was more muted, and more sensual instead, even though we did touch upon those primal desires."
