Dead are brought out from their Tomb and their cloth changed- Indonesia

Indonesia: In Tana Toraja, Indonesia, the dead are removed from their tombs to replace their clothing each year.

 

The Toraja people have fascinating rituals surrounding death and the afterlife.

When someone dies, their ritual states that the deceased are to be buried in the town they were born in (and not necessarily in the town in which they have died).

Further research into the term “ Rolang” uncovered a Tibetan connection.  This one is even more freaky.

In this scenario, a holy man (a “ngagspa”) gets shut up in a dark room with the newly deceased and lies on top of the corpse, wrapping his arms around it and placing his mouth over the mouth of said dead person (EWWW!).

'God Made You Beautiful' - Beyonce's New Single Arrives in Full

Shortly after being teased with a one-and-a-half-minute snippet, Beyonce Knowles' new track called "God Made You Beautiful" made its way out online in full. The beautiful gospel-like ballad features the 32-year-old diva singing about her adorable little girl, Blue Ivy.

"When you were born, the angels sighed in delight/ They never thought they'd see such a beautiful sight," sings Beyonce. "You took a breath and the world was right again/ Tears were shed, how I have been blessed/ And your love it shines so bright/ You bring me back to life, back to life/ You make everything right."

"God Made You Beautiful" will be available for free with the purchase of the "Beyonce: Life Is But a Dream" DVD, which comes out on November 25. The two-disc set will include a live concert film.

Beyonce is currently in the middle of her "Mrs. Carter" tour while fans are eagerly waiting for her long-delayed fifth album. Late last month, producer Pharrell Williams said that the "Irreplaceable" singer's "crazy" new record was "almost done."

"B's album is crazy," Pharrell said. "Let me tell you what it is. She's very particular. She's a Virgo. And she's not going to put it out until it's ready and feels like it's right to her. She's got a very specific taste. I guess that's the reason she's Beyonce."

James Franco and Seth Rogen Spoof Kanye West and Kim Kardashian's 'Bound 2' Video

Boredom led James Franco and Seth Rogen to a creative moment. The co-stars and Hollywood's best buddies have spoofed Kanye West and Kim Kardashian's racy "Bound 2" video, calling their version "Bound 3".

Franco and Rogen posted their video on Facebook Monday, November 25 and tweeted the announcement to West and Kardashian. "Hey @KimKardashian & @kanyewest check out what me and @JamesFrancoTV did on the set of @TheInterview. #Bound3," Rogen tweeted. Franco wrote, "#bound3 #sethrogen #love -- a little video Seth and I made in our down time."

The video was kicked off with the message, "While on the set of their movie, The Interview, James Franco & Seth Rogen felt inspired to recreate their favorite new video. Shot. For. Shot." The horses, the landscape and the bike were all slightly changed but the concept remained the same. Franco rapped as West while Rogen stripped down to his pants to resemble Kardashian.

They kissed and simulated sex on the bike just like West and Kardashian, with extra hairy chest and belly rolls. The video also ended with a license plate but it said "Bound 3" instead of "Bound 2".

Franco and Rogen, who have starred together in a number of films, are co-writing, starring, directing and producing "The Interview". In the movie, an attractive talk show host and his producer unwittingly get caught up in an international assassination plot.

Michael Jackson's Doctor confession after prison

Conrad Murray in his first interview since being released from prison after spending two years for the death of Michael Jackson has said they were so close he “held his penis every night.”

 

In the bizarre, rambling interview, the doctor convicted of Jackson’s death painted a sad picture of The King of Pop’s final days as a physically broken 50-year-old filled with dread and self-doubt.

Jackson barely had control of his bodily functions, according to Murray.
