Seriously, people, eat food -- not other human beings. Food is delicious and nutritious. Human flesh? Not so much! Days after a high and naked man gnawed off another man's face (down to the white meat) in Miami, comes news of another zombie attack. Alexander Kinyua, a 21-year-old engineering student at Morgan State University told investigators that he ate the heart and portions of the brain of his housemate, 37-year-old Kujoe Bonsafo Agyei-Kodie, who was reported missing last Friday. According to police, Alexander's brother discovered what he believed were human remains in the basement of the house located in Joppatowne, Maryland. Upon their arrival, Jarrod Kinyua (Alexander's brother) told police he found a human head and two human hands inside metal tins, under a blanket in the laundry room. With a search and seizure warrant for the location, deputies were able to locate the head and hands on the main floor of the house. They also interviewed Alexander, who admitted that he had killed Kujoe by cutting him up with a knife and afterward, ingested his heart and portions of his brain. Alexander directed police to find the rest of the remains, which were found in a dumpster on the property. Alexander was charged with first-degree murder and is being held without bail.
Can you determine someone's age just from smelling them? Apparently you can. And that "old people" smell you've probably heard of, is a myth. According to a report in the Public Library of Science journal, researchers have found that getting a whiff of someone's body odor is enough to tell you whether they are young, middle aged or elderly without having seen them. Researchers said the change in our smell is driven by the chemicals we release through our glands and the bacteria on our skin, which are reported to vary as we get older.To test whether or not it really exists, scientists from the Monell Chemical Senses Centre in Philadelphia collected a series of samples from three groups of 12 to 16 donors, aged 20 to 30, 45 to 55 and 75 to 95. Volunteers wore special T-shirts fitted with underarm pads as they slept for five nights, after which the pads were cut up and put in glass jars. A separate group of 41 people aged 20 to 30 was then asked to smell two jars at a time and asked which of the donors was older, as well as rating how strong and unpleasant each smell was. Writing in the Public Library of Science journal, the researchers reported that participants were able to pick which one was older than the other significantly more often than could have happened by chance. When asked to specify whether a particular sample was from a young, middle aged or old person they were much more successful at identifying older people. The results "support the cross-culturally popular concept of an 'old person odour'", the researchers said. Despite being the most distinctive, the older people's smell was also rated on average as being significantly less intense and less unpleasant than those from the other groups. Researchers said their findings appeared to contradict people's negative ideas about the "old person smell" but admitted other factors, like smelly breath or skin, could be to blame for its bad reputation. Dr Johan Lundström, who led the study, said: "Similar to other animals, humans can extract signals from body odors that allow us to identify biological age, avoid sick individuals, pick a suitable partner, and distinguish kin from non-kin. "Elderly people have a discernible underarm odor that younger people consider to be fairly neutral and not very unpleasant. "This was surprising given the popular conception of old age odor as disagreeable. However, it is possible that other sources of body odors, such as skin or breath, may have different qualities."Hmm, okay then.

A fight between two siblings in Sweden has resulted in an assault conviction for a 15-year-old boy who slapped his younger sister in the face. In court, the girl (whose age was not disclosed) admitted she had hurled a number of verbal insults at her older brother then kicked and shoved him. According to the boy, his sister started the fight by making fun of his girlfriend. Having sustained a number of kicks from his sister, the boy responded by punching her twice in the face before their mother broke up the fight. The girl called police and the boy was charged. In court, he claimed self defense, but the judge rejected that defense, citing the boy's own admission that the kicks from his little sister didn't hurt that much. Ordinarily, an assault conviction carries a prison sentence, but the judge just ordered the boy to pay a fine.

Phaedra Parks is fighting back at Vibe (which owns, operates, and controls Vibe.com, Uptown Magazine, and Augustus Publishing) which published a series of articles and interviews with a woman who claims the Real Housewives of Atlanta star is "a crooked attorney who knows how to commit crimes, has committed crimes, and knows how to cover up her criminal activity." The source of the articles and interviews is Angela Stanton, a convicted felon an author. Angela claims she and Phaedra were "close friends" and they began to engage in criminal activities together in 2000, which included "remaking fraudulent insurance checks" and "federal racketeering scheme against the federal government – stealing Porches, Hummers, Cadillacs, Corvettes, any hot whip at that time." Phaedra counters back, saying she "intermittently interacted" with Angela, while her then boyfriend, rapper Drama, who was a client of Phaedra, was in jail. She says she "has never had any formal or informal employment relationship with Stanton. Plaintiff has never participated in any criminal activities with Stanton. Plaintiff did not socialize with Stanton on any regular basis and does not consider (and never has considered) her to be a close friend or confidant." Yet, Angela "began a personal crusade of false attacks against" her in 2010. Vibe published all of Angela's allegations in the book "Lies of a Real Housewife: Tell the Truth and Shame the Devil." She says Vibe "had actual knowledge that the accusations against plaintiff were false prior to publication." Phaedra sent Vibe letters informing them the information was false and defamatory and demanded they correct or retract it, but Vibe did nothing. She's now asking a jury to award her more than $5 million in compensatory damages, $25 million in punitive damages, attorney fees and a published retraction of the articles and book.
Yong Hyun Kim, 21, of Seattle is facing second-degree assault charges after he slapped a 10-year-old kid at a movie theatre in April, knocked out one of the boy’s teeth, after the child and several of of his friends youths refused to quiet down and stop throwing popcorn. While violence is not the answer and Yong would be better served had he reported the rowdy boys to theater management, this kid had it coming. Just sayin'.According to charging documents, Kim admitted to hitting the boy and appeared ashamed when confronted by police with the boy’s age. Kim allegedly said he thought the boy was an adult when he slapped him in the face. The Associated Press reports the incident occured during a screening of "Titanic" in 3-D. At 10:40 p.m. on April 11, Kent police were called to the AMC Theater at 426 Ramsay Way following a complaint that a man had attacked a child there. Officers arrived to find to find the 10-year-old, his mother and several friends in the theater lobby. The boy was bleeding from the nose and missing a tooth. The boy told police he wasn’t sure why Kim struck him. He said he was seated in the theater when a man with “long hair and … 3D glasses” stepped over a row of seats and confronted him. According to the boy’s account, Kim said something to the effect of, “You know what, I paid a lot of money to see this movie” and punched him in the face. For his part, Kim said the boy and others were talking loudly during the movie and throwing popcorn, some of which landed on him and his girlfriend, a Kent detective told the court. Kim told police he confronted the group about their behavior, to no avail, the detective continued. “The group laughed at him and did not quiet down,” the detective said in court documents. “Yong (Kim) said he hit one of the subjects in the face with an open hand.” “I got so mad that it just happened,” Kim told police, according to charging documents. Kim was arrested and later gave a lengthy statement to police. The detective noted Kim claimed he didn’t know the boy was so young until police informed him. “When (the arresting officer) asked Yong (Kim) if he was aware that the person he struck was 10 years old … Yong hung his head down and said he thought the person was a grown man,” the detective told the court.

Push! Push! Push! Stop! Don't push!A woman has reported a hospital in southern Sweden to the health authorities after doctors failed to notice that her uterus had burst, leaving half of her unborn child inside her abdominal cavity. The incident occurred when the woman was giving birth to her third child at a women’s clinic in Skåne’s university hospital in Lund, wrote the local Sydsvenskan newspaper. Her other two children had been born through vaginal and caesarian birth, and when the most recent birth was not going as planned, hospital workers were cautious of undertaking the delicate task of performing a second c-section. But when the woman complained that something felt “weird” in her stomach some nine hours into the birth, and when doctors noticed a corresponding slowing in the child’s heartbeat, it was decided that a Caesarian must be performed, wrote the paper. Upon performing the emergency surgery, doctors noticed that the woman’s placenta had partially detached and that the unborn child’s arm, umbilical cord, and shoulder were protruding into the woman’s abdominal cavity. Eva Ranklev Twetman, chief doctor at the hospital refers to the incident as a “complication” rather than a medical injury. “Now, the clinic will tighten up in the area of for which we've been criticized and re-examine our procedures,” she told the paper. A uterine rupture is rare, and can pose risks for both the mother and child, wrote the paper. The child suffered from oxygen deficiency and needed emergency care to prevent brain damage, yet is now “recovering satisfactorily,” according to Sydsvenskan.

Terricka Cason Cromartie, who's married to New York Jet Antonio Cromartie was bored and/off her meds, faked a suicide attempt to get his attention. According to the NY Post, Terricka -- who was seven months pregnant -- sent these texts to Antonio, who was partying in Miami, back on May 6, 2011. Wait, why is this being a reported now? Anywho, she texted: “God forgive me, I don’t want to die. What have I done?” and “I cut my wrists. I took those pills.” He called police telling them to go to his New Jersey home because his wife was in danger.When no one answered the bell or phone at 21 Fairfield Ave., cops broke down two doors with an ax and sledgehammer, ran upstairs and found Terricka in bed with her two daughters. Not a drop of blood in sight. Terricka confessed she had faked the suicide try because she thought Cromartie — who has 10 kids, including eight with seven other women — was “cheating on her.” “She stated that she had no intention of going through with the act,” says a police report on the May 6, 2011 incident. “She said she was exercising her First Amendment right to free speech and could say whatever she wanted.” The jealous wife also admitted sending text messages “to the woman she believes is romantically involved with her husband.” She apparently tried to scare off her would-be rival, “telling her that both she [Terricka] and her husband have [word redacted] even though they do not,” the report says. Officers told Terricka she had to undergo a psychiatric evaluation at a local hospital. Terricka objected, saying that a paid driver was coming to take to her to the airport to go to Miami, and that she would be in her sister’s wedding that weekend. But cops insisted she was “in need of involuntary commitment.” She became “belligerent, uncooperative, irrational and argumentative.” She said she had no one to watch her kids, but finally agreed to be hauled off. The state’s child-protection agency took temporary care of her daughters, one from a prior relationship and one with Cromartie. Terricka, now 31, tweeted last month that she and the fertile footballer, 28, are expecting twins. Cromartie rep Fadde Mikhail did not respond to a request for comment.A mess!!!

Desmond Hatchett is special. The 33-year-old Knoxville, Tenn., resident and father to an astonishing 30 children (the youngest is a toddler and the oldest is 14) with 11 different women went to court this week to ask the state -- meaning taxpayers -- to help him pay for child support because he's struggling to make ends meet on his minimum-wage job. He told the court he needs a "break" from making the payments. Someone did the math and figured out that since Desmond is required to turn over 50 percent of his wage, some of his baby mamas receive a whopping $1.49 a month!!! Desmond, you're irresponsible and selfish. Go get 29 more jobs and support your own darn kids! And wear protection or get a vasectomy. What does these women see in him? I mean, really? If he's swinging like Everton, then we can possibly understand the intrigue. 
This month, many thousands of coeds are graduating from college in the hopes that their $40,000+ degree will land them a job in their chosen field -- or any decent-paying. Since graduating from University of Massachusetts at Lowell in 2010 with a BA in psychology and $25,000 in student loan debt, Haley Colvertino say she's been unable to find a job in that field and has asked the college to return her degree for a refund. In a letter to the college's chancellor, the 24-year-old, who works part-time at the front desk at a gym, wrote: “I am struggling to pay off my student loans and would like to return my degree." She says was being facetious -- but not really. She says she has been on hundreds of interviews and turned away from a series of low-level jobs because her college degree and neophyte job history have rendered her overqualified. The university offers graduates lifetime career counseling and the Assistant Dean of Career Development says: “We tell all students: If your resume isn’t getting you interviews, you need to look at you resume. If your interviews aren’t getting you offers you need to look at your interview skills." BLOOP! BLOOP! BLOOP!
A woman who set off an international furor when she sent a Russian child whom she had adopted back to Moscow, has been ordered to pay $1000 a month in child support and $150,000 in various fees. It was in April 2010 that Artyom Saveliev, then 7 years old, arrived in Moscow by plane from Washington, with a note from his adoptive mother, Torry Hansen, saying that she was returning the child she had adopted in 2009 because the boy was unbalanced, violent and that she no longer wanted him. The child arrived with a backpack full of clothes, a Russian passport with a US visa and the mother’s letter canceling the adoption. The World Assn. for Children and Parents, the agency that helped Hansen adopt the child, filed a lawsuit against Torry. On Thursday a Bedford County, Tenn., judge said Torry -- who lives in California and did not attend the trial -- must begin making the child support payments in June and continue to pay until the boy turns 18. He is currently 9 years old and lives in a group home in Russia. Among the fine levied against Torry, the judge ordered her pay the boy $58,000, money already spent on the his support and medical care, in addition to the monthly support. Hansen was also ordered to pay the adoption agency $29,000 and attorney fees of nearly $63,000.
John Travolta might as well come on out of the closet. Since news broke that two -- then three -- masseurs have filed civil suits alleging the Hollywood star propositioned them for sex, the story continues to snowball. The National Enquirer has an interview this week with another masseur who had sex with John Travolta. In a hotel room. In 1997. Luis Gonzalez, 49, tells the tabloid "Travolta may not identify himself as a gay man, but it doesn't dismiss the fact he likes sex with men...and he's experienced at it. I know because I had sex with him, and he loved it." According to Luis, he first began to provide bodywork on John in 1988, but that afternoon in 1997 in a room at the Ritz-Carlton in Laguna Niguel, California, John -- whose johnson was at full mast -- asked Luis to massage it, then the actor gave him a professional. Luis says he remembers it like it was yesterday and recalls that John is "very experienced" at giving professionals. He is allegedly a size queen and a bottom, after all. After they were done, John paid Luis for the "massage" and included a 20% tip. They never saw each other again.
The Queen of Disco has taken her last dance. Donna Summer (born LaDonna Adrian Gaines), who was the voice of a generation and released such hits as "Last Dance," ''Love to Love You Baby" and "Bad Girls," died this morning in Florida after a battle with cancer. She was 63. In a statement, her family says: "Early this morning, we lost Donna Summer Sudano, a woman of many gifts, the greatest being her faith. While we grieve her passing, we are at peace celebrating her extraordinary life and her continued legacy. Words truly can't express how much we appreciate your prayers and love for our family at this sensitive time." In lieu of flowers, the family asks of flowers, donations can be made in Donna's honor to the Salvation Army. Wendy, who loved her some Donna Summer, has yet to issue a statement. (UPDATE: The folks over at TMZ are reporting the five-time Grammy winner died from lung cancer which she contracted from inhaling toxic particles after the 9/11 attack in NYC. Say what, now?)
What do lesbians bring on the second date? A U-Haul. It's an old joke. Raven-Symoné is a reportedly a lesbian and has moved in her girlfriend, AzMarie Livingston, into her $11,000-a-month NYC apartment. If AzMarie's name rings a bell, it's because the androgynous beauty (pictured, above, inset and below) was a contestant on the current season, er, cycle of America's Next Top Model. According to the National Enquirer, Raven-Symoné's family has yet to come to terms with the actress' sexual orientation, but the 26-year-old, who has previously denied lesbian rumors, is in love and doesn't care what they -- or you, for that matter, think. "When her family found out [that Raven-Symoné and AzMarie are shacking up], they blew their stack and it's created a gay scandal for Raven," a source says. "She told her parents she loves them but her home -- especially her bedroom -- is nobody's business, and she was not going to back down, so they needed to accept it, period." We know that's right. BTW: How You Doin', Raven-Symoné!
