  • Aren't you meant to be posh? Made In Chelsea's Caggie Dunlop and Spencer Matthews slump on the pavement among the fag butts

    Her annual school fees cost a yearly salary, but Caggie Dunlop bid farewell to her posh upbringing last night.
    The Made In Chelsea star sat drunkenly on the pavement outside the Mayfair Hotel, sitting on the concrete surrounded by cigarette butts.
    She seemed oblivious to the fact she was perched on the floor instead of a throne, as she cosied up to love interest Spencer Matthews. 
    Spencer, who also appears on the E4 reality show, looked delighted with the attention and reciprocated by putting an arm around his friend.
    The pair, joined by co-stars CJ Chapman and Hugo Taylor, wiled away the hours drinking at the Slazenger party, before heading to Funky Buddha.
    Caggie, an aspiring singer, has a 'Ross and Rachel' friendship with Eton-educated Spencer.
    Their 'will they/ won't they' romance has been a prominent storyline in the first season of the programme.
    But last night, the couple only had eyes for each other and seemed oblivious to fellow partygoers.

    Sunbed fanatic mother-of-three dies from skin cancer after body is riddled with 19 tumours

    A mother-of-three who started using a sunbed at 16 has died from skin cancer - after her body became riddled with 19 tumours.
    Donna Ballantyne, 39, went under the UV rays twice a week in unmanned coin-operated tanning booths.
    But nine years ago she developed a melanoma and spent nearly a decade fighting the disease as it spread around her body.
    She campaigned tirelessly to raise awareness of the danger of sunbeds after her diagnosis and raised more than £1million for cancer charities.
    Speaking two years ago, she said: 'If I could turn back time, I wouldn't have spent even one second of my life on a sunbed.
    'I am convinced that if I had never been near a sunbed I would not have been left fighting for my life after skin cancer spread around my body.'
    Donna started using sunbeds in the centre of Glasgow, where she grew up as a child, at the age of 16 and used them twice a week until she got married at 22.
    In a previous interview, she said: 'The sunbeds I used were unmanned, which meant there was no one there to advise me how long to go on for or how powerful the tubes were.
    'I would insert my money into the machine and lie there for as long as I liked. Sunbeds were fashionable and all my friends were using them.
    'I'm fair-skinned and I thought I looked better - more glamorous - with a tan. Read More

    Princess Eugenie recreates Ascot success with red gown at Elton John's White Tie and Tiara Ball

    She won praise from fashion's fiercest critics when she arrived at Royal Ascot last week in a plunging, corseted Alexander McQueen dress.
    So it's little wonder Princess Eugenie decided to attempt to recreate her Ascot success by wearing an incredibly similar red number to Elton John's White Tie and Tiara Ball.
    The 21-year-old princess looked stunning in the Vivienne Westwood full-length gown, which was corseted to accentuate her tiny waist and feminine curves.
    Eugenie teamed the dress with a pair of gold earrings, a nude-coloured clutch bag and matching nude peep-toe heels.
    However, she had some competition to be the centre of attention from her older sister Princess Beatrice.
    Beatrice, 22, also looked incredible in a nude Elie Saab net and flower gown, pulled in at the waist to highlight the extent of her dramatic weight loss.

    Osama Bin Laden Courier's Cellphone Provides New Leads To Pakistani Links

    A cellphone of Osama bin Laden's trusted courier recovered in the U.S. raid last month that killed both men in Pakistan contained contacts to a militant group that is a longtime asset of Pakistan's intelligence agency, The New York Times reported late Thursday.

    In a story posted on the Times website, senior American officials and others briefed on the findings said the discovery indicates bin Laden used the group, Harakat-ul-Mujahedeen, as part of his support network inside Pakistan.

    It raises questions about whether the group and others helped shelter and support the al-Qaida leader on behalf of Pakistan's spy agency.

    The officials and analysts told the Times that Pakistan's intelligence agency had mentored Harakat and allowed it to operate in Pakistan for at least 20 years.

    In tracing the calls on the cellphone, U.S. analysts have determined that Harakat commanders had called Pakistani intelligence officials, the senior American officials said. One said they had met. The officials added that the contacts were not necessarily about bin Laden and that there was no "smoking gun" showing that Pakistan's spy agency had protected bin Laden.

    Beyond providing leads about why bin Laden was able to live comfortably for years in Abbottabad, a town dominated by the Pakistani military just 35 miles from the capital city of Islamabad, the discovery also may help shed light on bin Laden's secret odyssey after he slipped away from U.S. forces in the Tora Bora region of Afghanistan nearly 10 years ago.

    Casey Anthony's Mom: I Googled 'Chloroform'

    Casey Anthony's mother, Cindy, made a shocking revelation in court today when she said that she, not Casey, had conducted Internet searches for "chloroform" in March 2008.
    The bombshell testimony came during day 25 of the trial. Casey Anthony is accused of multiple charges, including capital murder, aggravated child abuse, aggravated manslaughter of a child and misleading law enforcement for the death of her daughter, two-year-old Caylee.
    The prosecution is seeking the death penalty.
    Called to the stand on behalf of the defense, Cindy Anthony explained she conducted the computer searches in an attempt to figure out why her Yorkshire terrier was "extremely tired all the time." The dog was known to eat bamboo plants, so Cindy Anthony said she started out searching for chlorophyll, a green pigment that is found in most plants.
    The search for chlorophyll led to a search for “chloroform” because some species of algae produce a natural form of chloroform, Anthony said.
    Anthony also told defense attorney Jose Baez that she conducted searches for "chest injuries" and "head injuries" around that same time because a friend of hers had been in a car accident.
    "[I was] looking up specific terminology that someone had asked me to look up," Anthony testified

    Student who fainted EVERY time she stood up for 14 years can finally stand tall after given revolutionary heart drug

    A student with a rare condition that caused her to faint every time she stood up over 14 years is finally back on her feet.
    Lizzie Rees, 22, suffers from postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome (POTS), which affects the body's ability to adjust to the pull of gravity.

    The condition causes her heart rate to speed up whenever she stands, causing her to pass out up to five times a day.
    Even getting up from a chair would cause her to collapse and she often had to crawl around on her hands and knees or use a wheelchair.
    But after countless medical experts failed to cure the problem she is finally enjoying a normal life after a heart specialist prescribed a drug to control her blood flow.
    Miss Rees, from Bristol, said: 'I would pass out up to five times a day and was constantly getting injured banging my head and have to go off to A&E.
    'I have seen cardiologists and doctors of pretty much every speciality going, but it is great to know that this is treatable.
    'I remember feeling so much better after I started treatment. I still pass out occasionally but going to college now shows how far I have come.'
    POTS is a form of dysautonomia - an abnormal functioning of the Autonomic Nervous System (ANS), which controls many subconscious bodily functions including breathing and balance.
    When the average person stands their blood pressure drops slightly but the ANS recognises this and causes their heart rate to momentarily increase.
    But in POTS patients, their blood pressure plummets when they stand, causing the heart to race. Blood supply is not able to reach the brain quickly enough, resulting in dizziness, vision loss and fainting.

    Justin Bieber Knocked Down In Undercover Cop Confusion In New York City

    TMZ is reporting that Bieber was actually knocked down by an undercover cop who had lept to his defense when a crowd got rowdy; not realizing he was a police officer, Bieber got defensive, and his security team tried to pull the police officer away.

    Things were cleared up, however, and disorderly conduct charges against one of his bodyguards were dropped. Scroll down for a photo, and click over to COED Magazine for more.

    Justin Bieber was jumped and knocked down by a man outside a New York City Macy's where he was signing autographs, ABC 7 Eyewitness News in New York reports.

    Bieber, who appeared on "The Late Show" in the city Wednesday night and appeared on "The View" earlier Thursday, was assaulted after coming outside to tell fans that they would not be able to access his cologne debut and autograph signing; only fans who had waited in line to receive a ticket were allowed in.

    When he stepped out, ABC reports, a man took him to the ground after jumping over a barrier; the teen star was uninjured, but "very shaken up," a source told the news station.

    The man was taken away by police.

    Stars Up For New Film :'Wet Hot American Summer' Prequel

    When director David Wain let loose the news that he was in the planning stages of a prequel to his star-studded, cult classic comedy "Wet Hot American Summer," fans were ecstatic, but perhaps a bit doubtful that it would really happen. After all, would stars like Paul Rudd and Elizabeth Banks really want to go back and do that?

    Rudd and Banks, along with a number of other co-stars from the 2001, 1980s-set camp film, told Entertainment Weekly with great enthusiasm that they'd be up to return to their roles -- and that there's already been talk about it.

    "It's been discussed over the last decade in various forms and incarnations," Rudd told EW. "I think we would all be up for doing it."

    Rudd also that he'd work for basically free, something he'd have to do given the last film's budget of $1.8 million.

    Banks was even more excited about the possibility of a summer camp reunion.

    "Look, any chance to get that group of people all together in a room I will take," the actress said. "It's been such a blessing on my life that I got to be included in that circle of people."

    Two Arrested In Seattle Terror Plot, Justice Department Says

    Two men intent on attacking a military recruiting station to inspire Muslims to defend their religion from U.S. actions abroad were snared by FBI agents in a terror plot sting, authorities said Thursday. Abu Khalid Abdul-Latif, also known as Joseph Anthony Davis, of Seattle, and Walli Mujahidh, also known as Frederick Domingue Jr., of Los Angeles, were arrested Wednesday night after they arrived at a warehouse garage to pick up machine guns to use in the attack, an FBI agent wrote in a criminal complaint filed in U.S. District Court.
    The machine guns had been rendered inoperable by federal agents and posed no risk to the public.
    The two suspects appeared in federal court Thursday in tan prison garb and listened as prosecutor recited the charges against them. Detention hearings were set for Wednesday.
    Their court-appointed defense lawyers declined to comment. The suspects could face life in prison if convicted.
    Authorities learned of the plot early this month when a third person recruited to participate alerted the Seattle Police Department, the complaint said. Investigators immediately began monitoring the men, and the confidential informant continued to string them along by promising to obtain weapons.
    The building, the Military Entrance Processing Station on East Marginal Way in Seattle, also houses a daycare. Recruits for all military branches are screened and processed there.
