Brooke Vincent and Sacha Parkinson Dress up as Playboy Bunnies

Brooke Vincent and Sacha Parkinson Dress up as Playboy Bunnies

Coronation Street stars Brooke Vincent and Sacha Parkinson made history as the street's first female gay couple.

And the gorgeous pair, who have dressed up as Playboy bunnies in a racy new photoshoot, are now insisting that they'll leave the soap if producers break up the characters.

Brooke declares: 'If they split us up, I’d leave. It’s made too much impact for them to break it up.

'It’s gone past the line. Me and Sach think we should win Best Partnership at the Soap Awards.'

The gal pals dressed up in blush pink satin Playboy bunny outfits, complete with bow ties, bunny ears and cotton tails for a provocative photoshoot and interview for Heat magazine.

Lounging against an ornate bar, the girls, both 18, giggle and whisper in each other's ears as they work the cameras.

Sacha has hinted that perhaps their close bond off camera is even becoming something more, adding: 'We just come as a pair now. We tell each other we love each other all the time. I think we’re really starting to become our characters.'

The girls have also revealed their celebrity 'girl crushes'.

Both agree that What's My Name star Rihanna is their favourite. They add: 'And Nicki Minaj. Definitely. We just love Nicki’s attitude.'

The also actresses say they feel a responsibility to fans who can relate to their onscreen relationship.

Brooke, who has played Sophie Webster on the long-running soap since she was just 11, says: 'It’s mad when you realise how many people have come out because of the storyline.

'So many people have come up to us and said, “Thank you. Without this, I wouldn’t have been able to come out to my parents or have people accept me.”

'There’s a pressure to make it 100 per cent believable. Because we’re not gay ourselves, it could be like watching someone in a film trying to put on an Irish accent and getting it totally wrong.'

Sacha, also 18, adds: 'You don’t realise it at the beginning, but when you’ve been doing it for a while – and especially now because of Twitter – you get so many people saying things about it.'

In the soap, the pair play former best friends who have fallen head over heels in love.

Christian teenager Sophie was seen succumbing to her feelings for Sian in an episode screened in April.

Vincent said at the time: 'Sacha and I were friends long before Corrie and I'm so glad it's her. We've been to drama school together and known each other since we were six or seven.

'We've talked about it, we're so close so we'll be all right. I've just told her as long as she sticks to her own side when it comes to the kissing scenes things will be fine. But no tongues.

'It will also let other teenage girls know they are not the only ones going through it if they are experiencing something similar.

'Often there aren't as many lesbian characters on TV compared to gay ones so it's a really positive thing for the soap.

After 5,300 years, Oetzi the iceman finally shows his face

After 5,300 years, Oetzi the iceman finally shows his face

He doesn't look half bad for a 5,300-year-old.

Since his discovery in 1991, Oetzi the iceman's true identity has been shrouded in myth and mystery. Just a faceless corpse that has embodied a bygone era of humankind.

But experts have finally worked out what the world's most famous natural mummy actually looked like.

Using 3D images of the corpse and forensic technology, two Dutch artists - Alfons and Adrie Kennis - painstakingly created a new Oetzi model.

But the one thing they couldn't determine was his natural eye colour. So they went with brown.

The model is on show at the South Tyrol Museum of Archaeology in Bolzano, Italy, alongside his mummified remains.

He was unearthed in September 1991 in the Eastern Alps near the Austro-Italian border by a couple of German tourists trekking through the Oetz Valley, after which he was named.

He was about 46 years old when he met his violent death.

Examinations revealed that he had been wounded by an arrow and possibly finished off with a mace blow to the face.

It is thought the arrow tore a hole in an artery beneath his left collarbone, leading to massive loss of blood - and the shock caused Oetzi to suffer a heart attack.

The fact that the arrow's shaft was pulled out before his death may have worsened the injury.

/div>

The iceman has been crucial to our understanding of how prehistoric people lived, what they wore and even what they ate.

Researchers had previously suggested he was killed by a rival hunter after putting up a fight, and by examining the contents of his stomach, worked out that his final meal consisted of venison and ibex meat.

Archaeologists believe Oetzi, who was carrying a bow, a quiver of arrows and a copper axe, may have been a hunter or warrior killed in a skirmish with a rival tribe.

Researchers say he was about 159cm tall (5ft 2.5in), 46 years old, arthritic and infested with whipworm, an intestinal parasite.

But he may not object to being immortalised in art, as he was apparently a fan himself with several carbon tattoos including groups of short, parallel, vertical lines behind his knees and around both ankles.

Kim Kardashian takes a spectacular spill as her chair collapses beneath her

Kim Kardashian takes a spectacular spill as her chair collapses beneath her

She is usually so polished and put together.

But Kim Kardashian managed to completely lose her composure during a recent episode of Kim And Kourtney Take New York.

The reality star was visiting their new East coast Dash store to check on the refurbishments when she sat on a chair which had not been screwed together properly and it collapsed from underneath her.

The 30-year-old mogul ended up flat on her back on the floor with her legs in the air as her sister and the work crew looked on laughing.


Kourtney responded to the accident by chuckling to herself and saying: 'That was awesome.'

Kim saw the funny side and was laughing herself as she pulled herself off the floor and pulled herself together.

During the same episode, which aired last night, Kim had to say goodbye to Shengo, her Australian bodyguard turned boyfriend who had to return to his native country because his visa had expired.

Despite being distraught on the show, which was filmed several months ago, Kim has now moved on and this morning confirmed that she is now in a relationship with New Jersey Nets basketball player Kris Humphries.

Appearing on an episode of Rachel Ray with her mother Kris Jenner, Kim said she is 'not single' any more and then waved to the camera and said: 'Hi Kris!'

'I guess I’m just a hopeless romantic. As much as you want to try, I guess it’s not the worst resolution to break. I’m having a good time, I’m happy.'

Kim met Kris, 26, while living in New York filming her current reality show spin off.

The pair have never publicly admitted they were an item until now but have regularly been seen together over the past couple of months.

Emanuel

Former White House chief of staff Rahm Emanuel was elected mayor of Chicago, easily overwhelming five rivals to take the helm of the third-largest US city as it prepares to chart a new course without the retiring Richard M. Daley.

With 98% of precincts reporting, Emanuel had trounced all his opponents in Tuesday's election with 55% of the vote - a margin that allowed him to avoid an April runoff. He needed more than 50 percent to win outright. (AP)

Glee Casting Call For Sarah Palin Type Character - Tea Party and Glee?

The Fox TV show Glee has placed a casting call for a "Sarah Palin type character" for a role on the hit show.
Are they ready to now mock the Tea Party?
The character is named Tammy Jean, and described as a "middle-aged recent Tea Party candidate and home schooler — a Sarah Palin type."
However, show creator Ryan Murphy says he is not bringing Tammy Jean / Sarah Palin on the show to mock and make fun of, but to be inclusive.
“We’ve taken a couple jabs at the right wing this year,” Murphy told TV Guide last June.
“So what I want to do with this character is have someone who Christian kids and parents can recognize and say, ‘Oh, look — I’m represented there, too!’ If we’re trying to form a world of inclusiveness, we’ve got to include that point of view as well.”
“Pat me on the back,” Ryan Murphy says, “after two seasons, we’re not going to be bigots anymore!”

Frank Spisak Executed in Ohio for Nazi-Inspired Murders

Frank Spisak

Ohio has executed cross-dressing Nazi-sympathizer Frank Spisak, who shot three people to death nearly 30 years ago on the campus of Cleveland State University in a shooting rampage that targeted African Americans.
Spisak, 59, was pronounced dead Thursday at 10:34 a.m. following a lethal injection of sodium thiopental at the Southern Ohio Correctional Facility in Lucasville, about 80 miles outside of Columbus.
He set the Ohio record for the longest time on death row before his execution, at more than 27 years.
Spisak's racially motivated shooting spree took place from February 1982 to August 1982, reports CBS affiliate WOIO. He was found guilty of murder after attempting to start a race war in Cleveland by searching out and shooting African Americans while on what he called "hunting missions."

The U.S. Supreme Court rejected Spisak's final appeal Wednesday afternoon, turning down his request to delay his execution while he argued the constitutionality of Ohio's death penalty law.

Spisak is responsible for the deaths of 57-year-old Rev. Horace Rickerson, 50-year-old Timothy Sheehan and 17-year-old Brian Worford. Sheehan was Spisak's only white victim, reports WOIO.
His attorneys claimed he was bi-polar and was too mentally ill to die.
During his 1983 trial, Spisak grew a Hitler-style mustache, carried a copy of Hitler's book "Mein Kampf" and gave the Nazi salute to the jury.
WOIO obtained a statement released by the Sheehan family after Spisak's execution.
"Today we chose to celebrate the life of husband and father, Timothy Sheehan, not the death of Frank Spisak," the statement read. "We are grateful that the justice system has worked, and appreciate those in the criminal justice system whose diligent efforts have helped bring this matter to a final resolution."
Spisak reportedly blamed the 1982 shootings on his hatred of homosexuals, African Americans, Jews and on his mental illness, which was supposedly related to confusion about his own sexual identity.

Bahrain crushes protest camp, locks down capital

MANAMA, Bahrain – Troops and tanks locked down the capital of this tiny Gulf kingdom after riot police swinging clubs and firing tear gas smashed into demonstrators, many of them sleeping, in a pre-dawn assault Thursday that uprooted their protest camp demanding political change. Medical officials said four people were killed.

Hours after the attack on Manama's main Pearl Square, the military announced a ban on gatherings, saying on state TV that it had "key parts" of the capital under its control.

After several days of holding back, the island nation's Sunni rulers unleashed a heavy crackdown, trying to stamp out the first anti-government upheaval to reach the Arab states of the Gulf since the uprisings in Tunisia and Egypt. In the surprise assault, police tore down protesters' tents, beating men and women inside and blasting some with shotgun sprays of birdshot.

It was a sign of how deeply the Sunni monarchy — and other Arab regimes in the Gulf — fear the repercussions of a prolonged wave of protests, led by members of the country's Shiite majority but also joined by growing numbers of discontented Sunnis.

Tiny Bahrain is a pillar of Washington's military framework in the region. It hosts the U.S. Navy's 5th Fleet, which is a critical counterbalance to Iran. Bahrain's rulers and their Arab allies depict any sign of unrest among their Shiite populations as a move by neighboring Shiite-majority Iran to expand its clout in the region.

But the assault may only further enrage protesters, who before the attack had called for large rallies Friday. In the wake of the bloodshed, angry demonstrators chanted "the regime must go" and burned pictures of King Hamad bin Isa Al Khalifa outside the emergency ward at Salmaniyah hospital, the main state medical facility.

"We are even angrier now. They think they can clamp down on us, but they have made us angrier," Makki Abu Taki, whose son was killed in the assault, shouted in the hospital morgue. "We will take to the streets in larger numbers and honor our martyrs. The time for Al Khalifa has ended."

The Obama administration expressed alarm over the violent crackdown. Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton called Bahrain's foreign minister to register Washington's "deep concern" and urge restraint. Similar criticism came from Britain and the European Union.

Obama quits smoking

Cigarette smoke does not take too long to get into one’s bloodstream. Once in the blood, the toxins in cigarette smoke directly change the structure so that it becomes stickier to one another. Obama said not a heavy smoker who had smoked every day. Yet U.S. President was aware of his bad habits must be stopped. Through determination and family support, the president is already 9 months to quit smoking.
“I have not seen and witnessed no evidence of smoking within nine months,” said White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs said when asked by reporters about how Obama has bid to quit smoking as reported by politicsdaily.com.
Heavy smokers or who only occasionally smokes are equally in danger. Research shows negative effects of smoking can occur more quickly than expected, so that a cigarette is enough to trigger heart attacks.

Gibbs said Obama had struggled to quit smoking. “It (smoking) was not something he’s proud of. He knows it is not good for him. He knew he did not like about it,” Gibbs said.

“I think he has been working (trying to quit smoking) with a bang. He has struggled against that habit,” said Gibbs.

The media called Obama’s campaign slogan “Yes We Can ‘suitable enough for his determination to quit smoking. Obama’s smoking habit was under the spotlight when he advanced in the U.S. presidential election 2009. Before elected U.S. President, Obama has been determined to quit smoking.

When Obama’s campaign acknowledged the bad habit of smoking as a teenager. Some photographs are smoking Obama also had a month-monthly campaign of political opponents.

However, Obama said he was not a smoker every day. “I was never a heavy smoker. I’ve quit periodically over the last few years due to strong demand from wives and replacing them with chewing Nicolette (gum),” Obama told the Chicago Tribune during the presidential campaign this time.

At that time, Obama said his wife Michelle has given the spirit and encouraged her to get out of the vicious circle of smoking for health reasons.

In the presidential medical examination in March 2010, Obama declared healthy and continue to struggle to quit smoking. Since the medical examination was announced, the occupant of the White House also never again sees Obama smoking.

Palin Hires Chief

Another bone being thrown to the lame stream media, or something else? Sarah Palin has hired Republican strategist Michael Glassner to serve as Chief Of Staff for her political action committee, Sarah PAC, according to CNN. Problem with Glassner is that he’s a former Bob Dole AND John McCain adviser, which certainly doesn’t impress me.
