Woman claims Beyonce's father offered to buy her baby to give to Beyonce and Jay Z…..
We just received an earth shattering report from Star Magazine. The magazine interviewed Mathew Knowles' jumpoff, a 40 year old marketing exec named Alexsandra Wight. Mathew got Alexsandra pregnant while he was married to ex-wife Tina Knowles.
Well Alexsandra has a story to tell. According to her, when she first told Mathew that she was pregnant, Mathew asked her to give the baby to Jay Z and Beyonce . . . so they could raise the child as their own?!
Here's what she said:
My first thought when he asked me if I would give up our child to Beyonce and Jay Z was, 'Are you out of your mind?' . . . Nothing in this world, no amount of money, would make me give up my child. You can't BUY my child from me."...

Drinking Too Much Water Could Be Harmful To Your Health... Says Experts! OMG!!!!
Experts warn that drinking the recommended eight glasses of water a day could actually be harmful to a person's health.
Glasgow-based GP Margaret McCartney says benefits of drinking water are often exaggerated by
organisations with a vested interest, such as bottled water brands. Writing in the British Medical Journal she also claims that drinking when not thirsty can impair concentration.
A report claims that the benefits of drinking copious amounts of water are quite simply myths, suggesting there is no evidence behind claims that water prevents multiple health problems.
According to Dr McCartney, consumption of excessive amounts of water can in fact lead to loss of sleep and even cause kidney damage instead of preventing it.
Professor Stanley Goldfarb, a metabolism expert from the University of Pennsylvania also claims there is no evidence to suggest that water suppresses appetite.
'If children drank more water rather than getting extra calories from soda, that's good - but there is no evidence that drinking water before meals reduces appetite,' he says.
Around 2.06 billion litres of water was consumed in Britain last year in comparison to just 1.42billion litres in 2000.
Too Much Salt And Too Little Exercise Bad For Your Brains---Says Researchers! So!!!!
Too much salt and too little exercise is hard on the heart, but new research suggests it can be hard on the brain, too. A three-year study of more than 1,200 people has linked a salty diet and sedentary lifestyle to cognitive decline in old age.

"You do have some control, and lifestyle is key." go here..

Civil servant began dating mother-of-six Duchess of Alba three years ago after meeting in cinema

Despite the objections of her six children and plenty of public controversy, Spain’s colourful Duchess of Alba wed Alfonso Diez, 60, at her 15th century palace in Seville yesterday.
The famously flamboyant Cayetana Fitz-James Stuart wore a delicate pale pink gown designed by Victorio y Lucchino for her third marriage, which took place in front of 38 guests.

Book: "The Black History of the White House"
Via Angela Davis
Official histories of the United States have ignored the fact that 25 percent of all U.S. presidents were slaveholders, and that black people were held in bondage in the White House itself.
And while the nation was born under the banner of "freedom and justice for all," many colonists risked rebelling against England in order to protect their lucrative slave business from the growing threat of British abolitionism.
These historical facts, commonly excluded from schoolbooks and popular versions of American history, have profoundly shaped the course of race relations in the United States.
In this unprecedented work, Clarence Lusane presents a comprehensive history of the White House from an African American perspective, illuminating the central role it has played in advancing, thwarting or simply ignoring efforts to achieve equal rights for all.
Here are the stories of those who were forced to work on the construction of the mansion at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue and the determined leaders who pressured U.S. presidents to outlaw slavery, White House slaves and servants who went on to write books, Secret Service agents harassed by racist peers, Washington insiders who rose to the highest levels of power, the black artists and intellectuals invited to the White House, community leaders who waged presidential campaigns, and many others.
Juxtaposing significant events in White House history with the ongoing struggle for civil rights, Clarence Lusane makes plain that the White House has always been a prism through which to view the social struggles and progress of black Americans.
Woman To Die By Hanging For Killing 9 Year Old Son.
Rebecca
Emotions were high at High Court Number 10, Maiduguri, Borno State, northeast Nigeria yesterday when Rebecca Emmanuel, who was accused of poisoning her 9-year old son, Ishaya Emmanuel sometime in 2008, was sentenced to death by hanging.
On 20 January, 2008 Rebecca Emmanuel lured her son, Ishaya Emmanuel to a bush where she gave him a Maltina drink laced with poison which led to Ishaya’s death after which the convict burnt the corpse.
Rebecca, mother of four who was earlier granted bail by the court and had consistently appeared at the Court during her trial, could not get the sympathy of the trial judge Justice Pirogai Ngada who, while delivering her judgement said: “I agree that she has four children and has never absconded from bail but Section 221 of the law under which she is convicted is a mandatory provision of culpable homicidepunishable by death. I wish I can temper justice with mercy. But I can’t because she is hereby sentenced to death by hanging.”
In one of her confessional statements during the trial, Rebecca had said: “I went to my father’s house and picked my child. We got to a place where I got a poisonous substance at the sum of N20 and matches. I took him to a bush and laced the substance in a bottle of Maltina.
“I made him drink it. After 30 minutes, the boy died and I set him ablaze, so that no one could recognise him and I left for my husband’s house.”
Delivering the judgement, the judge said she was satisfied by the confessional statement made by the accused person.
P.M.NEWS learnt that Rebecca Emmanuel had Ishaya out of wedlock. He was aid to be the product of an illicit relationship between Rebecca and a military officer.
She must have killed the boy because of the trauma she passed in the hand of the unknown military man.
As the matter is, it is not clear whether the convict will appeal the judgement.
