Bra worth $2.5 million unveiled by Victoria's Secret

Would you spend $2.5million on a bra?

Lingerie maker Victoria's Secret unveils its ultimate Christmas present - a custom made bra valued at $2.5 million adorned with 5200 precious gems.

Last week it was leaked that Brazilian super Alessandra Ambrosio would be the heavenly body to model Victoria's Secret's jewel-encrusted lingerie at this year's upcoming catwalk extravaganza, and now we can see what the multi-million dollar set looks like.

Each year, a chosen Angel dons a one-off, custom-made 'Fantasy Bra' to close the much-publicised show. Last year the honour was given to Miranda Kerr, but this time Ambrosio will take up the gauntlet just seven months after the birth of her second child, a son named Noah.

The $2.5m (£1.55m) bra, unveiled in New York, has 5200 precious gems on it, including a 20 carat diamond and huge ruby.

Named the 'Floral Fantasy' set, the bra and matching belt have been created by Long Island's London Jewelers.

"It's so unique you know it's this piece of art that you get to wear and it has over 5000 precious gems so you just have all these diamonds around and you have this 20 carat diamond right here. It feels amazing to wear," Ms Ambrosio said.

O.J. Simpson Trying To Sell Knife He Allegedly Used To Murder Nicole Brown Simpson

O.J. Simpson held on to the knife he may have used to kill his ex-wife and her friend and is now trying to sell it for a handsome price, an anonymous source told the National Enquirer.

The story, which appears in the tabloid's latest print edition, quotes the source who is "close to Simpson's inner circle" as saying the knife is stashed in the Bahamas. Simpson reportedly wants $5 million for it.

“[O.J. is] looking for a strictly cash deal so that the money can be deposited in offshore accounts and can’t be traced directly to him," the source said, according to the New York Post. "O.J. said he’d reveal the location once a firm deal — for a minimum of $5 million — was reached.”

The Daily Mail reports that an unnamed wealthy memorabilia collector is interested in purchasing the knife.

Hollywood Gossip lists several questions left unanswered in the Enquirer's report, including "How could he possibly have hidden it from police then and held onto it for this long?" and "How is he negotiating that deal from a maximum security prison cell?"

Simpson is currently in prison after being convicted of a 2007 armed robbery in Las Vegas.

Simpson was found not guilty of the murder charges in 1995. A murder weapon was never found.

In a civil trial that followed, a jury held Simpson responsible for the deaths of his ex-wife and her friend, Ronald Goldman. He was ordered to pay the victims' families $33 million in damages.

Back in 1995, the hall of fame football player hatched another apparent money making scheme to make cash off the trial's notoriety. He applied for trademark rights to use his name on a laundry list of products, according to the Chicago Tribune.

Simpson's request could have resulted in the production of trademarked kitchen knives with the name "O. J. Simpson" etched on the handles, according to the St. John's Law review.

Simpson's application was denied.

The revolutionary Cuban leader Fidel Castro has suffered a massive stroke and has only weeks to live, a doctor has claimed.

Jose Rafael Marquina said the 86-year-old was in a vegetative state and is 'moribund' at a house in western Havana.

Despite this, a letter from Castro was published by state media denying he was on death's door. Relatives have also denied the claims.

Marquina told Spain's ABC newspaper that Castro had suffered a 'massive embolism of the right cerebral artery' and while not on life support or breathing artificially, was 'moribund' at a house in a gated former country club in the Cuban capital.

I didn’t go abroad for cosmetic surgery – Patience Jonathan

 L–R: President Goodluck Jonathan; his mother, Eunice; wife of the President, Patience; one of the President’s children; and wife of the Senate President, Mrs. Helen Mark, during the reception for Mrs. Jonathan, at the Presidential Villa, Abuja ... on Wednesday.

 

Wife of President Goodluck Jonathan, Dame Patience, returned to the country on Wednesday after spending about seven weeks abroad.

Mrs. Jonathan arrived at the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport, Abuja from a foreign country widely believed to be Germany. She returned in one of the aircraft in the Presidential Fleet

As soon as she alighted from the aircraft, she denied media reports that she went abroad for cosmetic surgery. She also denied being an in-patient in a German hospital on account of a terminal disease, adding that her husband loved her physique.

She said, “I read in the media where they said I was in the hospital. God Almighty knows I have never been to that hospital. I don’t even know the hospital they mentioned.

Robbie Middleton, Boy Set On Fire On 8th Birthday, Recorded Deathbed Video... Don Collins Raped Him Before Attack

Robbie Middleton was doused in gasoline and set on fire at the age of 8.

On Robbie Middleton's eighth birthday in 1998, he was covered in gasoline and set on fire.

Thirteen years later, shortly before dying of complications from the burns, Middleton recorded a video where he not only named his alleged attacker, but also accused the attacker of raping him two weeks before the incident, the Houston Chronicle reports. The video was the first time Middleton mentioned the rape publicly.

Last month, the family's lawyer, David Walker, filed murder charges against 27-year-old Don Collins. The sexual assault allegations have allowed Walker to file the charges as a felony murder, which requires that the murder occurred in conjunction with another offense, according to the Chronicle.

Collins was 13 years old when he allegedly tied the 8-year-old to a tree, threw a cup of gasoline in his face, and lit him on fire. The attack occurred on a forest path near the boys' homes in Splendora, Texas, while Middleton was walking to a friend's house, the LA Times reports.

Middleton was left with blackened skin and burned-off eyelids, and needed over 200 operations and extensive physical therapy to repair the damage done by the flames.

Middleton ultimately died in April 2011, at age 20, of a type of cancer that can only occur as a result of complications from skin grafts for third-degree burns, according to the Daily Mail. His death was ruled a homicide.

Though Collins was detained in connection with the assault, he was later released. Montgomery County Attorney David Walker told the LA Times that Collins was not initially charged because evidence "was not clear or necessarily compelling at that time"

In addition, Middleton's crippling injuries severely limited his abilities to explain what had happened to him. Walker says that was exactly Collin's intention.

The boy's parents were awarded $150 billion in a civil lawsuit against Collins in December 2011, while Collins was serving prison time for failing to register as a sex offender. He had been convicted in 2001 of sexually assaulting a child in a case unrelated to Middleton.

The award was largely symbolic and the parents don't expect to ever see any money. According to the Schulenberg Sticker, the family hoped the verdict would pressure the county into prosecuting Collins for murder.

When Collins was released from prison in September, Walker filed murder charges against him, charging him as an adult, rather than a juvenile.
