President Obama Saves Michelle From Wardrobe Malfunction


That darn wind can always get the best of us. Especially when you're wearing a flowing skirt.
Such was the case when First Lady Michelle Obama was making her way off and onto Air Force One in Houston, Texas this week. A strong wind gust caught the Obamas off guard, blowing the First Lady's skirt in the air. Luckily, President Obama was there to save the day and avoid a First Lady 'Marilyn Monroe moment.'

Scientists grow vaginas in a LABORATORY and implant them into four teenage girls

  • The new organs given to women born with a condition called MRKH
  • This is rare condition in which the vagina is underdeveloped or absent
  • Treatment could also help patients with vaginal cancer or injuries
  • Organ is engineered using muscle and cells from the genital region

Vaginas grown from four teenagers' own cells have been implanted into them.
The organs are working normally in the girls, who were aged between 13 and 18 at the time of surgery.





They were born with a syndrome that means the vagina and uterus are absent or underdeveloped.
The cells were grown on specially moulded frames.
Dr Anthony Atala, lead researcher of the US team, said: "This may represent a new option for vaginal reconstructive surgeries."
The pioneering treatment was carried out between 2005 and 2008.
All the patients have been able to have normal sex lives.
One in every 5,000 women is born without a vagina, cervix or womb.

Katie Holmes finds love again after Tom Cruise



 Katie Holmes supposedly has a new love in her life.

The actress is rumoured to be romancing 34-year-old comedian Jason Segel.
The actor dated her former Dawson’s Creek co-star Michelle Williams from 2012-2013, but apparently this hasn’t stopped Katie from falling for him.
“They're having a great time together,” a source told the US edition of Star magazine.
The new couple met on the set of Jason’s hit show How I Met Your Mother when Katie made a guest appearance back in 2011. But according to the reports, their relationship only became romantic in the past few months. Now that the programme is over, Jason is so serious about his new relationship he is considering moving to New York to be with Katie.
“He's eager to start a family,” the source explained.
Katie, 35, already has one child, eight-year-old daughter Suri, from her six-year marriage to Tom Cruise, which ended in divorce in 2012. The source adds that Jason has already bonded with Suri.
