Drunk in Love! 25 year old woman marries cardboard cut-out of Robert Pattinson (Photos)

Lauren Adkins, 25, is ­married to a life-size cut-out of vampire Edward Cullen from the Twilight movies, played by Robert Pattinson.

She told Uk Mirror

 “We got hitched in Las Vegas last year and I’m sure we’re happier than most newlyweds.People might think I’m crazy but my flat-pack R-Patz is the closest I’ll get to the real thing and he’s the one for me.For as long as I can remember I’ve been ­obsessed with romantic fairytale endings.When I was a child, I watched the Disney ­versions of Snow White and The Seven Dwarfs and Cinderella until the tapes wore out.”

It was different from any love story I’d seen ­before – after all, the leading character was as likely to suck your blood as open the door for you. I was obsessed.Leading man Edward was quiet and ­mysterious, yet superhuman and invincible. And so sexy.

I tore through the books and I queued outside the cinema when the film was released, desperate for my first glimpse of Edward.And when Robert Pattinson appeared on screen at midnight, he was perfect. I knew that very minute I wanted to marry him.”

 "Of course he was made from cardboard, but that didn’t matter to me. Suddenly I was taken over with an urge to have him.I grabbed his rigid torso and stuffed him under my arm before marching to the counter and handing over a $20 note.Then, cramming him into my car I headed back to my apartment where I ripped off his cellophane and stood him at the foot of my bed. For the rest of the night I couldn’t take my eyes off him. Then I started thinking – the guys I’d dated before had all been so hopeless, I might as well have been with a cardboard cut-out. So where was the shame in taking him out with me?”

A friend who thought I was going mad said one night: ‘If you love him so much why don’t you marry him?’ Her words rang in my ears. She was right. Why didn’t I?”

“I walked down the aisle in January in the white wedding dress I’ve always dreamt of.I held the reception at an art gallery and ordered champagne and a five-tier cake to share with my 50 guests.The day cost £2,000 but I didn’t care – I wanted to do it properly.We had our honeymoon in LA and I wanted us to climb up to the Hollywood sign together.”I had to carry him, and we had to do it at night because he can’t be in the sun.But everyone makes sacrifices for the man they love, right?”

This Is What Will Happen When Wizkid Releases His Much Awaited Album

When Wizkid finally drops his sophomore album, two things will happen.

One, the long and exhaustive wait for a follow up to the highly successful debut album will finally be over; and two, he will have an opportunity to prove to fans that he still is (or not) a major player in the highly competitive music industry in Africa.

Looking at the track lists of the album, 7 of the 19 tracks have already been released. Good songs but not big hits as would have been expected of a Wizkid who cleaned out all awards and sold out shows after his debut album. The singles have done fairly well, but it remains to be seen if the album will do better.

Prior to the recent update, there have been a lot of inconsistencies regarding the album. Almost a year ago, Wizkid tweeted he was dropping two albums, ‘The Chosen’ and ‘Starboy’ in 2014. Not anymore, since the new album is now titled ‘Ayo (Joy)’.

Also, he had tweeted about Wande Coal, Olamide and Burna Boy features on the album. I guess either those collaborations didn’t happen or the tracks didn’t make the final cut. Disappointingly, his recent frolic with American singer, Chris Brown did not pay off in track collaboration. Whatever happened to the Rihanna collaboration that was earlier rumoured to be in the works? I guess that didn’t work out too.

Now, the starboy is finally ready for a release, but it troubles me to say that the outcome of this album will some what define his career. One challenge the ‘Caro’ singer will encounter is proving to the fans that despite a continous push in release date and change in album title, that the wait was certainly worth it. The quality of the new tracks has to measure up for the long wait.

As much as we will hate to compare Wizkid with his major rival, Davido, the reality always kicks in because every now and then fans are consumed on social media with comments on who’s a better artiste between them. Perhaps, Wizkid’s biggest challenge will be to at least maintain a healthy competition withDavido who has had a phenomenal year topping almost every feat that Wizkid had earlier accomplished.

Real Madrid's James Rodriguez voted sexiest man of 2014!

Colombian soccer star, James Rodriguez has been voted the sexiest man of 2014 following his World Cup heroics and estimated €80 million transfer to Real Madrid.

People En Espanolmagazine awarded the title to the Colombia superstar, who recently launched his own range of branded underpants, after going from promising talent to global superstar overnight by grabbing the Golden Boot in Brazil this summer.

James' wife insisted that his personality is what makes the attacking midfielder so alluring, not necessarily his boyish good looks - though it probably also helps that he earns more in a week than most people on the planet earn in a year!

"He's a very attractive man," Daniela Ospina said. "But what I most like is the way he is, his personality. It's what I really love."

Meanwhile, James' mother insists that fame has not gone to the 23-year-old's head and that he remains humble about his talent on the football pitch.

"He is still the same," Maria del Pilar Rubio added. "What characterises him most is his humility, "

Past winners of the English language version of the award include Hollywood actors Brad Pitt, George Clooney, Johnny Depp, Matt Damon and Ryan Reynolds.

The 'sexiest man on the planet' tag now gives James bragging rights in the Santiago Bernabeu dressing room over Cristiano Ronaldo, although the new Madrid player still has some way to be considered hotter than his Ballon d'Or-winning team-mate on the pitch.

Serena William Paid $4million For Winning The US Open

American Tennis superstar, Serena Williams, has been paid $4 million for winning the US Open!

Williams, who is ranked as the number one tennis player in the world, defeated Caroline Wozniacki 6-3 6-3 in straight sets.

Speaking on her win, she said “I couldn’t have finished things in a better way. It is a pleasure for me to win here, I am really emotional. I couldn’t ask to do it at a better place.”

Wozniacki, who is a close friend of Williams also congratulated Serena saying, “she really deserved it today and played better than me.”

SAD: Joan Rivers,Woman Extraordinaire Passes On At 81…

Joan Alexandra Rosenberg (née Molinsky;
June 8, 1933 – September 4, 2014), known by
her stage name Joan Rivers, was an American
actress, comedian, writer, producer, and
television host, best known for her stand-up
comedy, for co-hosting the E! celebrity fashion
show Fashion Police, and for starring in the
reality series Joan and Melissa: Joan Knows

Best? alongside her daughter Melissa Rivers.

Rivers first came to prominence in 1965 as a
guest on The Tonight Show, a
pioneering late-night program with interviews
and comedy, hosted by Johnny Carson, whom
she acknowledges as her mentor. The show
established her particular comic style, poking
fun at celebrities, but also at herself, often
joking about her extensive plastic surgery.
When she launched a rival program, The Late
Show, he never spoke to her again. She went
on to host a successful daytime slot, The Joan
Rivers Show, which won her a Daytime Emmy
for Outstanding Talk Show Host. Her satirical
style of humor, however, by focusing on the
personal lives of celebrities and public figures,
was sometimes criticized.
During her 55-year career as a comedian, her
tough-talking style of satirical humor was both
praised and criticized as being truthful, yet
too personal, too gossipy, and very often
abrasive. Nonetheless, with her ability to “tell
it like it is,” she became a pioneer of
contemporary stand-up comedy. Commenting
about her style, she told biographer Gerald
Nachman, “Maybe I started it. We’re a very
gossipy culture. All we want to know now is
private lives.”
On August 28, 2014, Rivers experienced
serious complications and stopped breathing
during a procedure on her vocal cords, at a
clinic in Yorkville, Manhattan. She was taken
to Mount Sinai Hospital and was put into a
medically induced coma after reportedly
suffering cardiac arrest.
On August 29, her daughter, Melissa, publicly
stated that Joan was “resting comfortably” in
the hospital.
On August 30, it was reported that Rivers had
been put on life support.
Reports initially stated that Rivers’ family
might face ending her life support if her
condition did not improve. However, on
September 1, 2014, an unnamed source told
Entertainment Tonight that Rivers’ physicians
at Mount Sinai Hospital had started the
process of trying to bring her out of the coma
on August 31. Prior to that, there had been no
further medical updates beyond her
daughter’s statement.
On September 3, Melissa Rivers issued a brief
statement that Rivers had been moved from
Mount Sinai Hospital’s intensive care unit into
a private room, without any comment
concerning Rivers’s condition or prognosis.
The following day, September 4, 2014, Melissa
announced via another statement that Rivers
had died at the age of 81 at 1:17 p.m.
She will be buried on Sunday September 7th
at the Temple Emanu-El in New York –
RIP.

12 Unexpected Things That Mess With Your Memory

You regularly ransack the house to find your keys. You suddenly can’t recall the name of your kid’s teacher. You made your six-month dentist appointment three months late. Sound familiar? Fear not: most forgetfulness isn’t anything serious, says Majid Fotuhi, MD, PhD, founder and chief medical officer of NeurExpand Brain Center in Luterville, MD and co-author of The Memory Cure. Lack of sleep, certain medications, and even stress can impact your memory. “Fortunately, your brain is malleable, meaning it changes and improves,” says Dr. Fotuhi. “Memory can be boosted with simple powerful interventions.” Here are surprising things that impact your memory in both good and not-so-good ways.

1. A dysfunctional thyroid

When your thyroid’s out of whack, you may feel too hot, too cold, anxious, depressed—and your memory may also be lagging. “Although the thyroid doesn’t have a specific role in the brain, memory loss is the one thing a person notices when it stops functioning normally,” says Dr. Fotuhi. A butterfly-shaped gland that sits along the front of your windpipe, the thyroid reigns over almost all your body’s metabolic processes. “People with high or low thyroid levels—which are very common in women—may have difficulty with memory and concentration,” he says. Ask your doctor for a simple thyroid test to determine if it’s the culprit behind your memory problems.

2. Hot flashes

Every time hot flashes make you you feel like sticking your head in the freezer, you may also feel a fog rolling into your brain. “The more hot flashes a woman experiences during menopause, the worse her ability to remember names and stories,” says Dr. Fotuhi. “Fortunately, hot flashes don’t damage the brain in any way. Memory improves once the hot flashes subside.” Other menopause-related symptoms contribute to memory loss, including insomnia and sleep apnea, Dr. Fotuhi says.

3. Lack of sleep

Last night’s late party makes it less likely you’ll remember your new coworker’s name the next day. “While some part of the brain takes a siesta when we sleep, deeper areas involved with memory and emotional response become relatively more active,” says Allen Towfigh, MD, medical director of New York Neurology & Sleep Medicine. “Individuals with sleep deprivation and sleep disorders not only suffer from impaired memory but also daytime fatigue, impaired attention, and reduced reaction time.” The standard recommendation of eight hours of sleep a night doesn’t necessarily work for everyone. If you wake up fatigued and fall asleep unintentionally during the day, then you may need more sleep, says Dr. Towfigh.

4. Anxiety and depression

Worrying about an upcoming presentation in front of the CEO may also hinder your memory, several studies show. “We don’t understand the exact link, but strong evidence indicates depression, anxiety, and bipolar disease disrupts the neural circuitry involved in developing and retrieving memories,” says Dr. Towfigh. “The severity of the memory loss often mirrors the severity of the mood disorder—severe depression brings about equally severe memory loss.” Prolonged periods of everyday stress increase cortisol levels in the brain, which causes our brain cells to lose synapses (the bridges that connect our brain cells to one another), and make it more difficult to create and retrieve memories. The good news is when memory loss exists with a mood disorder (including anxiety and depression), the memory loss is usually at least partially reversible. “As the individual’s mood improves, often so does the memory loss,” says Dr. Towfigh.

5. Prescription drugs

Check your medicine cabinet: many common prescription drugs can make you feel forgetful. Anxiety disorder meds like Xanax, Valium, and Ativan (which are benzodiazepines) put a damper on the part of the brain that moves events from the short-term to the long-term memory. Tricyclic antidepressants have a similar effect. Heart medicines including statins and beta blockers have also been linked to memory issues, as have narcotic painkillers, incontinence drugs, sleep aids, and even antihistamines like Benadryl. Bottom line: Don’t stop taking your (potentially life-saving) medications, but talk to your doc if you believe any drug you’re on may be messing with your memory.

6. Smoking

If you’re still smoking, that may help explain memory lapses. “Smoking damages the brain by impairing its blood supply,” says Dr. Towfigh. Research published in the Archives of General Psychiatry gathered from data obtained from more than 7,000 men and women found a more rapid decline in brain function (which included memory along with vocabulary and other brain functions) with age than from those who never smoked. “Furthermore, cigarette smoking promotes the accumulation of abnormal proteins which impair the brain’s ability to process and relay information,” says Dr. Towfigh.

7. A high-fat diet

Greasy burgers and French fries pack on pounds and are hard on your heart—and they may also cause memory issues. One study revealed that adolescent mice had poorer learning and memory skills after being fed a high-fat diet for eight weeks, while another study on middle-aged rats found that the hippocampus (the part of the brain responsible for short-term memory) may be particularly vulnerable to the impact of high-fat diets.

More research is needed to determine for sure whether or not high-fat diets impact human memory, but here’s what we do know: Calorically dense diets promote type 2 diabetes, hypertension, and cardiovascular disease, which can all do damage to our brains, says Dr. Towfigh. “This holds true earlier in life, too. Studies link childhood obesity with a reduced attention span and impaired concentration and focus.”

8. Stress

A sudden emergency can make it tough to recall something as simple as your home address. A rat study published in Neuron shows that stress hormones influence an area of the brain area that controls working memory. Researchers found that repeated stress reduced receptors in the part of the brain that’s connected to thought processes Although this study involved animals, the human brain works similarly, explains Dr. Towfigh. “Repeated or chronic stress can be harmful. Regular exposure to elevated glucocorticoids (a hormone released by the adrenal gland) also causes our brain cells to reduce receptors, making brain cells less capable of responding to neurochemical (brain chemicals) cues.” Finding ways to relieve stress may help: Practicing meditation does double duty by easing stress and helping improve memory, according to a study from the University of California, Santa Barbara. College students who completed eight 45-minute meditation sessions over two weeks increased their average GRE exam scores from 460 to 520 and showed improvement on tests of working memory.

9. Germs

A nasty cold sore does more than make you feel self-conscious—it may be messing with your memory, according to a 2013 study in Neurology. Researchers found that people who exposed to many germs, such as herpes simplex type 1 (the cold sore virus), over their lifetimes were more likely to have memory problems than those exposed to fewer germs. Among more than 1,600 study participants, those with a higher “infectious burden” had a 25% increase in the risk of a low score on a cognitive test. Although there is no vaccine for the cold sore virus, childhood vaccinations against other viruses could help prevent problems later in life, the researchers suggest. In addition, regular exercise may help too—doctors think repeated infections may damage blood vessels, since a high infectious burden is also linked to a greater risk of stroke and heart attack.

10. Green tea

Now for some good news: chemicals found in green tea may help improve your memory, according to a University of Basel study. “Several compounds, EGCG and L-theanine, in green tea increase neurogenesis (growth of new brain cells) in the hippocampus, the part of the brain used for short-term memory and learning new things,” says Dr. Fotuhi. How much green tea has not yet been determined, says Dr. Fotuhi, who recommends combining green tea with other healthy habits such as exercise for greatest memory improvement benefits.

11. Exercise

Regular sweat sessions also help keep memories sharp. “Physical exercise improves mood and sleep and by doing so, it invariably improves cognition and memory,” says Dr. Towfigh. An animal study published in Brain, Behavior and Immunity, for example, showed daily exercise increased brain cell growth after 12 weeks of conditioned running. Dr. Fotuhi recommends 45 minutes of aerobic exercise four days a week for the best memory boost.

12. Vitamin B12 deficiency

Vegetarians and vegans are at a higher risk of being deficient in vitamin B12, which keeps the body’s nerve and blood cells healthy and helps make DNA. That’s because B12 occurs naturally only in animal foods: shellfish, meat, poultry, eggs, and dairy. In addition to fatigue, loss of appetite, constipation, and weight loss, a B12 deficiency can also lead to memory problems. If you feel your meatless diet may be affecting your memory, your doctor can give you a blood test that determines whether you should be taking a vitamin B12 supplement.

Note: it’s not just veggies who are at risk for a B12 deficiency. Pregnant women, older adults, and anyone with pernicious anemia or gastrointestinal disorders like celiac disease and Crohn’s disease may need supplementation.

How To Make Your Crush Fall In Love With You

There is this guy in your life, who makes you go weak in your knees every time you lay eyes on him. Now love will happen if it is meant to be. Destiny will take its own course. But why play by the rules? Why not give destiny a little nudge? Sometimes even the cupid needs a little help to shoot in the right direction. Here are some ways to help you make your crush fall in love with you.
1) Get Noticed
He cannot fall in love with you if he doesn’t know you exist. It is good to be casual, act as if you don’t care and sometimes it is the best way to make your crush more interested in you, but make sure that he notices you.

2) Be Sexy and look good
People are attracted to people who are attractive, so please take care of your appearance. Looking good is very-very important. Get your hair done, work out, and maybe get your teeth whitened. When you feel good about yourself, people notice. Dress in what suits your body best.

3) Look Interested
When you have the chance to talk to him, look interested in his talks and pay compliments to him. Guys like to think you know what they are talking about. Common interests are must for a relationship.

4) Be Flirty
Flirt with him. Give him signals that he interests you. Try and make maximum eye contact with him. Give him some flirty glances in between and look him in the eye if he asks what? Just say it is nothing but his eyes are beautiful.

5) Make a common friend
Make a friend that he is friends with also (make sure that’s a guy). He could be a way to communicate to your crush. He will also come in handy when you want to know more about your crush.

6) Make him jealous
Have a good time without your crush. Have fun with others guys and make sure he is jealous watching you talking or flirting with someone else. Be sure not to overdo it. This is just a way to send him a small message that that you have other options also to be happy.

7) Never be clingy
Value your independence. Don’t cling to him for everything. Too much attention can make you look desperate in his eyes.

Most importantly, you should not worry too much on how to make him fall in love with you. Your love should like you the way you are. If he doesn’t, just accept the fact that he is not the one for you. Love is not a one night affair. In the end all that matters is that you love yourself.
