Bizarre News: One Year Old Baby Pregnant (Photos)!!

Sassy Smith — Sat, 31 Jan 2009 16:08:00 GMT

Wow, talk about an instant 'celebrity' baby! A one-year-old girl in Saudi Arabia has been found pregnant. Yes, it's real but not exactly what you're thinking....

The child is actually carrying her unborn twin. Freaky or what? It's called fetus in fetu, and is very rare - with the abnormality occuring in 1 in 500,000 live births.

From Momlogic:

In June, 1999, the case of Sanju Bhagat from India attracted attention. He had unknowingly carried his parasitic "twin" inside his body for 36 years.

Doctors were certain that the man had a gigantic tumor in his belly. However, they found fragments of human genitalia, hairs, limbs and jaws in the patient and finally removed a underdeveloped fetus that had legs and arms with long fingernails.

In 2002, Indian doctors found a six-month-old boy to have a fetus inside. The dead fetus, which surgeons removed from the boy, weighed one kilo, whereas the boy himself weighed 6.5 kilos.

Doctors are now determining the best way to remove the parasitic twin, which is considered "alive" but only because its component tissues have not yet died or been eliminated. The fetus in fetu is compared to an invasive tumor.

Hopefully the baby girl will be OK!

Booze & Pills Killing Michael Jackson, Has Six Months To Live

Sassy Smith — Thu, 08 Jan 2009 16:05:00 GMT

Michael Jackson is not well - actually, 'not well' is a bit of an understatement. The former king of pop is reportedly in failing health due to a genetic lung disorder. Reps for Jackson deny this but pals say that he is very ill, bedridden most of the time and is addicted to painkillers and alcohol.

Friends of the singer are fearful that Jackson will die in the next few months.

A pal says, "It's tragic. His condition is just so far gone, I'd be surprised if he lasts six months.

"Painkillers and booze have caught up with him. The only way he was able to cope with the stress of sex scandels and his roller-coaster life was to mask the pain with substance abuse.

"But the end result is an addiction that will kill him."

The friend adds that Jackson became addicted to pills as far back as the infamous Pepsi commercial where Michael's hair was burned. Now, twenty five years later, "the drugs simply have ravaged him."

The 50-year-old Jackson is in "really, really bad shape. He's been sick for six to eight months and he just keeps getting worse.

"His muscles and lungs are deteriorating, and he's bedridden much of the time. He can walk, but not for very long.

"On good days, Michael is able to take his kids to a bookstore. But he's never out for more than an hour. He has very little strength... It's ultimately in God's hands."

Michael, according to biographer Ian Halperin, is suffering from Alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency and Jackson's addiction to morphine and Demerol can make the condition worse. It's believed that Michael needs a lung transplant.

Halperin said he was told by a Jackson family friend, "Michael wants to have the lung transplant, but because of the other illnesses he's fighting, he's too weak to undergo such a major procedure. He's taking one painkiller after another."

Halperin also claims that Jackson is suffering from emphysema, and chronic gastrointestinal bleeding.

"It's the bleeding that could kill him," said Halperin.

Michael's people say it's all false, that "Mr. Jackson is in fine health."

But the close friend says, "Michael's fighting for his life. And it doesn't look good."

If any of this is even remotely true - how are Michael's kids handling having a sick father? What if something happens to him - who would raise his kids?

Michael Jackson Is Dying?

Sassy Smith — Tue, 23 Dec 2008 15:06:00 GMT

For years there was talk of Michael Jackson making a career comeback but to date it's never happened. There were rumors of a Jackson 5 reunion, of Michael doing a stint in Vegas and duets with other popular artists. Had he done any of those things, he may have been able to dig his way out of the massive financial debt he's now found himself in. But there may be a very good reason he's never tried to get his career back on track - Michael is reportedly suffering from a fatal lung disease.

According to Michael Jackson biographer Ian Halperin, the 50-year-old former pop star is suffering from Alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency - a genetic lung disorder that could kill him if he doesn't receive a lung transplant and soon.

Jackson is said to be in failing health - he can barely speak and has lost 95% of his vision in his left eye.

OK! reports:

Halperin claims his lung condition has become more acute. The writer added: "He has had Alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency for years but it’s gotten worse. He needs a lung transplant but may be too weak to go through with it. He also has emphysema and chronic gastrointestinal bleeding, which his doctors have had a lot of trouble stopping. It’s the bleeding that’s the most problematic part. It could kill him."

What if this is true? What would happen to Michael's three children? Who would raise them? They have a nanny who is like a mother-figure to them - would she care for them if something were to happen to their father?

Billy Martin Craves Cravings

Whit Honea — Fri, 05 Dec 2008 17:58:00 GMT

Billy Martin of Good Charlotte is ready. His wife Linzi is pregnant and he knows that her late night cravings will be coming soon. He is ready to get them.

Turns out Linzi isn't craving anything.

Says Martin, "I keep telling my wife, 'Can I go get you something weird?'

"I want to eat ice cream at 1 o'clock in the morning. [The other] night she saw a commercial for chocolate chip cookies and I was like, 'Please send me to get them.' But she just said, 'We'll get them tomorrow.'"

Poor Billy Martin is being gipped out of his sympathy weight!

Their baby is due early next year.

Helena and Nell Stroll In Malibu

trix — Mon, 17 Nov 2008 13:28:00 GMT

Helena Bonham Carter and her daughter Nell hit the streets in Malibu.

They look pretty all dressed in white, don't they? It's so much prettier than Helena's normal outfits of choice.

It looks like Helena Bonham Carter has her hands full with her little Nell. Nell is now 11 months old and by the looks of her, is very confident. I mean, doesn't she look like she's looking at the photographer and asking, Are you looking at me?

Jamie Oliver on Letterman

Whit Honea — Wed, 12 Nov 2008 16:56:00 GMT

The once naked chef Jamie Oliver was on Letterman the other night and he shared some information on the relatively odd cravings of his pregnant wife Jools.

“Basically she’s an eating machine and I’m feeding her. She’s gone back to retro food — fish paste, all that stuff from her childhood. She’s dipping bananas in Vegemite. She goes to the hardware store and she gets rubber hot water bottles and she chews on them.”

She chewed on hot water bottles in her childhood?

Helena Bonham Carter Looks Like A Bag Lady But Her Kids Are Cute!

Sassy Smith — Tue, 09 Sep 2008 16:33:00 GMT

Helena Bonham Carter is a bit eccentric to say the least. Her choice in attire is, uh, different. Hey, but that's what makes the world go 'round right? Right. Helena and her husband, director Tim Burton and their tots were spotted out in London on Monday, near their home.

More pics after the jump!

Their children Billy Ray, 4 1/2, and baby Nell, 8 months, are so cute (despite their faces being blurred).

Helena Bonham Confirms Her Baby's Name-Finally

Helena Bonham Carter's Relatives Die In Bus Crash

Sassy Smith — Sat, 23 Aug 2008 13:57:00 GMT

Actress Helena Bonham Carter has reportedly lost four of her British relatives in a minibus crash in South Africa, and at least one of the victims was a child.

A rep for the Foreign Office said the victims were on a safari holiday and the vehicle lost control and overturned. Three of the deceased have been named as 14-year-old Marcus Egerton-Warburton, his grandmother Brenda Bonham Carter, 74, and Francis Kirkwood, 75, the boy's step-grandfather. At least two other family members are believed to have been injured in the accident.

A Foreign Office rep said, "We can confirm the deaths of four British nationals in a road traffic accident on August 20. We are still seeking clarification about the accident fromt the South African authorities."

The young teen's mom, Fiona Bonham Carter is thought to have sustained a broken collar bone and his brother, Piers suffered whiplash. The injured have been taken to Johannesburg for medical treatment.

A Facebook memorial has been set up for Marcus, with one friend writing, "Can't put into words how much I will miss you. You are an amazing person you will never be forgotten. R.I.P. marci xxx."

Our condolences to the family.

Helena Bonham Confirms Her Baby's Name-Finally

trix — Wed, 06 Aug 2008 15:46:00 GMT

Last month we helped squash rumors that the Helena Bonham Carter and Tim Burton named their baby Indiana Rose, “apparently on the internet she’s called Indiana Rose! [laughs] I don’t know where it’s come from but it can be that till she’s been named properly [laughs]."

The Burton Carter duo confirmed to a The Jewish Journal that their baby's name is Nell, after, "all the Helens in the family".

“I feel quite atavistic in the sense that I want them to know where they come from”. I'm not sure she used that word correctly.

I'm sure she will be as beautiful as this Nell.

Seven Months Later - Helena Bonham Carter FINALLY Names Her Baby?

Sassy Smith — Sun, 20 Jul 2008 13:41:00 GMT

Listen, naming your baby is a big decision - it's obviously something that is with them for life (unless it sucks and they change it when they turn 18), and you want to get it right. Perhaps that's why Helena Bonham Carter and Tim Burton have waited so long to name their 7-month-old daughter?

Technically we're still not 100% they have even named her yet. Seriously. According to IMDB, they've called her Nell. And some UK publications are stating that the infant's name is Allegra Sophie, but Wikipedia states that the baby girl is unnamed or unreleased. Hmm.

Reportedly, in the UK, it's law for parents to name their child by the age of 6 weeks, so the celebrity odd couple would definitely be past that time limit. However, there's no concrete proof that they've named their child. For realz, how could you go MONTHS and not name your baby? What do you call them? It? Hey You? So and So? I've heard of parents needing a few days to come up with just the perfect name but over half a year? Slightly ridiculous if you ask me!

And no, baby's name isn't Indiana Rose - that was rumor and Helena addressed that and said, "Apparently on the internet she’s called Indiana Rose! I don’t know where it’s come from but it can be that till she’s been named properly!"

Hey, maybe they HAVE named her and it's been a closely guarded secret!?

Michael Jackson's Kids Unmasked! Look Normal!

Sassy Smith — Fri, 30 May 2008 12:02:00 GMT

Michael Jackson, one of the most famous entertainers of our time - although not always famous for just his music legacy. We won't get into all of the allegations or court issues of past. What I really want to talk about, is the fact that his children have finally been "unmasked," and quite frankly, they look normal. I'm not sure what I was expecting?

Photo after the jump!

The photograph isn't the best quality but it gives a better peek at his kids than we've ever had, since you know, they've always had to walk around since birth with blankets, masks and sheets covering their faces. I suppose it was his way of protecting his children from the glare of the flashbulbs but what freedom they must feel not to have a mask covering their faces. They can actually see where they're going!

Seriously though, what must it be like to be the kid of Michael Jackson? They wouldn't know any different I suppose, but it's got to be weird. They've never been schooled in a tradtional way, have no friends because of their isolation - well, unless you count the tiger cub they were given to play with, as a friend. And have recently lost the nanny that they called "mom," and who Jackson was reportedly going to marry. Uh huh.

The kids - Prince, Paris and Prince Michael (aka Blanket) - have been to the Berlin Zoo, Disney World and many other places all over the world, covered. However, last week they were photographed in a Las Vegas bookstore, checking out the kids' section sans hoods/masks or sheets obsuring their view and vise versa. Michael was covered with a scarf and hood. Why? Is he still a germaphobe? Or is he embarrassed by his awful plastic surgery? I'll go with the plastic surgery deal.

Either way, Jackson is a ~~total freak~~ bit of an odd duck and hopefully his kids turn out to be adults who can go out into the world and lead a somewhat normal life ~~not a freakin chance~~!

"Abortion Art" Chick Is Certifiable - Issues Statement

Sassy Smith — Fri, 18 Apr 2008 17:02:00 GMT

This has gone beyond "art" in my opinion. I'm not sure what Aliza Shvarts' goal is - perhaps she's looking to get her 15-minutes of fame, but the woman is crazy. If this is how she's hoping to get to "celebrity" status, I'm thinking she's going about it all wrong.

Ms. Shvarts issued a statement to The Yale Daily News and denies claims from her own University that her self-inducing pregnancies and miscarrages were some sort of hoax.

Here's some of the article from The Yale Daily News:

Shvarts reiterated Thursday that she repeatedly use a needleless syringe to insert semen into herself. At the end of her menstrual cycle, she took abortifacient herbs to induce bleeding, she said. She said she does not know whether or not she was ever pregnant.

“No one can say with 100-percent certainty that anything in the piece did or did not happen,” Shvarts said, “because the nature of the piece is that it did not consist of certainties.”

This afternoon, Shvarts showed the News footage from tapes she plans to play at the exhibit. The tapes depict Shvarts — sometimes naked, sometimes clothed — alone in a shower stall bleeding into a cup.

I'm offically calling this woman nuts and I think I'm going to be sick. Give me Britney Spears any day!

Aliza Shvarts Is A Crazy Bitch

"Abortion Art" Not Real

Sassy Smith — Fri, 18 Apr 2008 14:02:00 GMT

Aliza Shvarts "abortion art" was performance art and she did not impregnate herself or induce miscarriages. A statement was issued from Yale University spokesperson Helaine S. Klasky and it reads:

Ms. Shvarts is engaged in performance art. Her art project includes visual representations, a press release and other narrative materials. She stated to three senior Yale University officials today, including two deans, that she did not impregnate herself and that she did not induce any miscarriages. The entire project is an art piece, a creative fiction designed to draw attention to the ambiguity surrounding form and function of a woman’s body.

She is an artist and has the right to express herself through performance art.

Had these acts been real, they would have violated basic ethical standards and raised serious mental and physical health concerns.

There you go, I guess we were all duped and she's just ~~kinda weird~~ an artist expressing herself. Personally, that's not my kind of "art" though. I'll stick with the stuff my kids bring home and put on the fridge.

Helena Bonham Carter Finally Names Her Baby?

Sassy Smith — Tue, 15 Apr 2008 16:38:00 GMT

Helena Bonham Carter and Tim Burton welcomed their second child - a daughter - on December 15 2007. It's now April 15 2008. One would think four months would be ample time to pick a name out for your baby. So what did the celebrity parents finally name their child?

Technically nothing yet - although some websites had been posting that their baby's name is Indiana Rose Burton. That however, is not the case. Helena commented on that, saying, "Apparently on the internet she's called Indiana Rose! [laughs] I don't know where it's come from but it can be that till she's been named properly [laughs]."

There you go - they'll go with Indiana Rose for now (thanks internet websites!) and when they get around to giving their baby a name, we'll let you know. What was I thinking? Four months is barely enough time to name your infant. Hopefully they'll get around to it before she starts school, or she'll have to go with that old standby of, "hey you."
