Future Proposes To Ciara On Her Birthday
Future proposed to Ciara in grand fashion on her birthday.
According to reports, Future dropped to one knee and presented the “Body Party” singer with a 15-carat ring.
Congrats!
Leopard skin has gone classy...Yep! You heard me!
That's right, ladies. Drop the rulebook and try and forget everything you thought you knew about fashion. Because this season, leopard skin-print is back in style. No matter whether you wear just a touch here or there, or large swathes of it draped around your body, you can't go wrong with this feline look.
Once upon a time, leopard-print was poo-pooed as being vulgar and garish. But designers have always loved the motif. Christian Dior included leopard-print in his notable 1947 'New Look' collection. It was picked up by Yves Saint Laurent in the '80s and, a decade later, Dolce & Gabbana eagerly embraced the look.

Papua New Guinea: 'Witch' tortured with red hot irons and a pair of pliers claims she escaped after killing her attackers and eating their hearts
- The woman was accused of killing child and feasting on its heart
- She was stripped, burned with hot iron and had ear clipped off with pliers
- But as she was about to be burned at a stake police arrived to rescue her
- Witnesses claimed she appeared to feel no pain as torture went on
An accused witch who was tortured with red hot irons and a pair of pliers told police she escaped from the clutches of several of her attackers by fighting back and eating their hearts.
Police in Papua New Guinea are still investigating the claims of the woman who, witnesses said, appeared to show no pain despite the torture she had endured.
Accused by villagers of earlier killing a child and eating the youngster's heart, the middle aged woman was hunted down, stripped - and the torture began.

Red hot iron rods were applied all over her body, she was stabbed in the chest and her left ear was snipped off with a pair of pliers.
Witnesses who watched the torture said the woman had also lost a tooth - but during the attack she shouted at the gang that she had killed several of their friends and eaten their hearts after they tried to assault her.
One witness told the Post Courier newspaper that while the naked woman was being tortured she showed no signs of being in pain - even when the hot rods were placed against her flesh.
'People who saw this were stunned,' the witness told the newspaper. The observer also said the woman had told her attackers the names of the people she had killed and butchered.

The incensed crowd were about to burn the woman to death - a punishment that has been handed out to other suspected sorcerers in Papua New Guinea - when police arrived and saved her from her fate.
The incident occurred less than a month after a deranged father killed his young daughter in another part of the country and drank her blood from a hideous wound he inflicted in her neck with a machete.
Sorcery is widespread in remote villages in the country and the government has recently introduced tough new laws to deal with it.
But officials have admitted that stamping out the practice is likely to take years.

Colorado: Abandoned Occult Altar Discovered In Vacant House
A cleaning crew and a realtor recently made a haunting discovery when they stumbled upon a possible occult altar forgotten for a decade and a half in a small house for sale in a Colorado suburb.
Animal skulls, chains, bones from a goat and possibly other animals, a skull mask with a black hood, candles and a machete were among the items that were found in the home's backyard shed.
Police say that some of the bones, including a partial skull, are suspected of being human and have been sent to an out-of-state lab to determine whether any DNA evidence can be found. Up to 20 bones were found and investigators even brought in search dogs trained to find decomposing bodies.
The vacant house, located on the 1200 block of Kline Street, looks nondescript in the extreme -- and apparently nothing inside it struck the cleaning crew assigned to get it ready for sale as the least bit odd.
Animal bones also appeared to have been part of the mix, as well as odd items like these....
Neighbor Carlos Fraire said the discovery was very eerie.
"It's weird that it's this time of year, right around Halloween," Fraire told 9News.
According to a report by Westword, neighbors described the woman who lived there as a Christian and the items in the shed are suspected of having belonged to her now-deceased husband, who reportedly left the country in 1998. For the last 15 years, his wife apparently either hadn't known the items were there or left them completely alone because when they were discovered most were covered in thick dust.
The two split up over a decade ago, and the altar wasn't discovered until a realtor commissioned a cleaning crew so the house could be put up for sale.
For photos taken from the house, head over to Westword.
When the cleaners found the bones and a partial skull in the shed, they called the police.
"It just appears that they were used in some type of 'occult' ceremony," Lakewood Police Department spokesman Steve Davis told 7News. "At this point we have no evidence to suspect that any kind of crime has been committed."
Police say they have talked with at least family member of the man who lived there who indicated he was an occultist.
Investigators aren't currently treating the home as a crime scene, noting that human bones -- oddly enough -- can be purchased online.
Police are asking that anyone with any information about the case please call 303-987-7111.

Underwear that neutralizes the stink of Fart!....yes, for real!...can squash the smell of "200 times the average flatulence emission."
A British line of fart-filtering underwear is doing big business, and it has the United States to thank for it.
"Americans are making up the majority of our sales at the moment," Shreddies spokeswoman Ianthe Betts-Clarke told The Huffington Post.
Since word about the odor-neutralizing Shreddies passed through the Internet a few days ago, the company has experienced a 400 percent increase in orders over all, Betts-Clarke estimated.
Shreddies weaves a carbon cloth called Zorflex into its rear panel. Betts-Clarke says it can squash the smell of "200 times the average flatulence emission." (Shreddies apparently hasn't met my Aunt Edna.)
In 2008, the company began to serve customers with digestive-tract woes but branched out. "It's a product for everybody, because everyone farts," Betts-Clarke explained.
Men's boxer briefs cost between $39 and $45, while women's panties are about $31 to $34.
A product called the Flat-D Flatulence Deodorizer is also on the market. It's an activated charcoal cloth pad that tapes to the inside of briefs to mask the stink.
Imagine your silent but deadly farts now just silent.
This pair of Shreddies for women costs about $31.
