Photoshopped celebrity fatties, Jurassic Park-style DNA mischief, no asylum for US lady soldier, Big Brother behind the scenes
IS ANGELINA A FRIDGE RAIDER? Yells The Sun.
The answer is quite clearly no.
Angelina Jolie and a bunch of other celebrities have been plumped up via PhotoShop on worth1000.com.
The Sun's picked the best for their gallery - including this doctored Amy Winehouse shot - and some of them are really quite convincing (some aren't, of course).
Now, is it just that the aspect ratio on my eyes has gone a bit wiggy, or do Gisele and Claudia Schiffer actually look quite nice?
More news over the jump...
DNA could resurrect extinct animals, say the bods at New Scientist - they've put together a handy revival recipe for would-be Jurassic Park-style entrepreneurs:
YOU WILL NEED:
- Well-preserved DNA
- Several billion DNA building blocks
- A suitable surrogate species
- Some seriously advanced technology
They've also compiled a list of 10 extinct beasts that could walk the Earth again, including the dodo, the sabre-toothed tiger, and Neanderthal man.
Of course, there is the school of thought that Neanderthal man is already alive and well and looking down our tops at every given opportunity, but my typically Virgoan pedantry precludes such lazy stereotyping.
There's a great (NSFW) video over at My Chemical Toilet of a song called Rock & Roll in my Butthole. And by 'great' I mean 'godawful', but it gains new depth when you learn that Rock & Roll in my Butthole is nominated in the 'best song' category of the Adult Video Network Awards.
Yes, they have a 'best song' category. Although even that is perhaps less impressive than the lyric "you're the kind of girl I can get behind".
Canada is deporting the first female US Army soldier to seek asylum - mother of three Kimberly Rivera served in Iraq in 2006 but deserted after refusing redeployment. Her request for Canadian asylum on humanitarian grounds has been rejected, and she could face up to five years in prison when she returns to the US.
Finally, Big Brother 9 winner Rachel Rice presents a BBC video about what happens in a Big Brother audition. She takes the camera behind the scenes at the Cardiff auditions for Big Brother 10, held at the Millennium Stadium.
As you might imagine, it's a frickin' circus. Scary, team building-style games interspersed with long moments of unbearable boredom. It's like queuing at Alton Towers with a bunch of... well, a bunch of people who want to get on Big Brother.
The games include skipping, building "world famous landmarks using your bodies on the floor", and that perennial kids' party favourite, passing an orange down the line using your chin and collarbone as a cradle.
Still. Keeps 'em off the streets, innit?
