  • *PREMIUM EXCLUSIVE* Real Housewife of New Jersey Teresa Giudice hits the beach with hunky young companion Blake Schreck. The pair lazed on loungers at a South Beach, Miami, hotel, and later shared a bottle of rose wine over lunch inside the hotel. Teresa, 46, is reported to have become close friends with the young beau while husband of nearly 20 years, Joe, serves a 41-month prison sentence for mail, wire, and bankruptcy fraud, before being deported to his native Italy. Meanwhile, it seems the mother of his four daughters is moving on with her life. On Saturday, Teresa and Blake, who’s 26 yrs old, met up at the swanky Coral Gables Country Club and left with friends at about 11.30pm. Teresa showed off her fabulous figure in a full-length and strapless black evening gown, while Blake wore a back shirt and matching bow tie, black pants, red suspenders, and loafers.They hopped out of the car close to the SLS LUX hotel in the Brickell business district, and disappeared inside. Thirty minutes later, they re-emerged, jumped into an Uber and sped off towards a rented condo, where Teresa and her party have been staying. She instagrammed a photo of herself at the condo’s rooftop pool. The previous day, Teresa looked amazing in a plunging one-piece swimsuit as she strolled along the shore at South Beach in the blazing sunshine. News of her friendship with Blake comes as she prepares to reunite with her Jersey co-stars for the long-awaited Season 9 reunion, later this month, where she is expected be clash with co-star Jackie Goldschneider. Meanwhile, Joe languishes at Federal Correctional Institution, Allenwood, Pennsylvania, awaiting deportation. The couple made headlines in 2014 after they pleaded guilty to 41 counts of fraud. Joe had also confessed that he owed more than $200,000 in taxes. Teresa served a little over 11 months in prison and was released on Dec. 23, 2015. She’s since been caring for the couple’s four daughters: Gia, 18, Gabriella, 15, Milania, 14, and

  • A set of one-year-old conjoined twins who had been sharing part of their hearts have been successful separated following a mammoth seven-hour operation. Anna and Hope Richards were separated at the Texas Children’s Hospital in Texas, it was announced this week, by a multidisciplinary 75-strong team of surgeons, anesthesiologists, cardiologists and nurses. The girls were delivered via C-section on 29 December, 2016, at 35 weeks gestation, weighing a combined 9lbs 12oz (4.4kg) and were conjoined at their chest and abdomen, through the length of their torso and shared the chest wall, pericardial sac (lining of the heart), diaphragm and liver. In addition they had large blood vessels connecting their hearts. The twins are now recovering at the hospital and are expected to be strong enough to go home in about a month’s time. “We've thought about and prayed for this day for almost two years,” their mother Jill Richards said, who welcomed the girls along with her husband Michael and their sons Collin and Seth. “It's an indescribable feeling to look at our girls in two separate beds.” The epic surgery was carried out on January 13 and involved planning and preparation before the girls were even born. In November last year, aged 11 months, the twins underwent a surgical procedure to place tissue expanders to allow their skin to grow and stretch ready for their separation. Dr. Larry Hollier, surgeon-in-chief and chief of plastic surgery at Texas Children’s Hospital, said: “The success of this incredibly complex surgery was the result of our dedicated team members’ hard work throughout the last year. “Through simulations and countless planning meetings, we were able to prepare for situations that could arise during the separation. “We are thrilled with the outcome and look forward to continuing to care for Anna and Hope as they recover.” The Richards family, from North Texas, learned Jill was carrying conjoined twins during a routine ultrasound.

Dr. Larry Hollier, surgeon-in-chief and chief of plastic surgery at Texas Children’s Hospital, said: “The success of this incredibly complex surgery was the result of our dedicated team members’ hard work throughout the last year. “Through simulations and countless planning meetings, we were able to prepare for situations that could arise during the separation. “We are thrilled with the outcome and look forward to continuing to care for Anna and Hope as they recover.” The Richards family, from North Texas, learned Jill was carrying conjoined twins during a routine ultrasound.

  • A set of one-year-old conjoined twins who had been sharing part of their hearts have been successful separated following a mammoth seven-hour operation. Anna and Hope Richards were separated at the Texas Children’s Hospital in Texas, it was announced this week, by a multidisciplinary 75-strong team of surgeons, anesthesiologists, cardiologists and nurses. The girls were delivered via C-section on 29 December, 2016, at 35 weeks gestation, weighing a combined 9lbs 12oz (4.4kg) and were conjoined at their chest and abdomen, through the length of their torso and shared the chest wall, pericardial sac (lining of the heart), diaphragm and liver. In addition they had large blood vessels connecting their hearts.

The girls were delivered via C-section on 29 December, 2016, at 35 weeks gestation, weighing a combined 9lbs 12oz (4.4kg) and were conjoined at their chest and abdomen, through the length of their torso and shared the chest wall, pericardial sac (lining of the heart), diaphragm and liver. In addition they had large blood vessels connecting their hearts. The twins are now recovering at the hospital and are expected to be strong enough to go home in about a month’s time. “We've thought about and prayed for this day for almost two years,” their mother Jill Richards said, who welcomed the girls along with her husband Michael and their sons Collin and Seth. “It's an indescribable feeling to look at our girls in two separate beds.” The epic surgery was carried out on January 13 and involved planning and preparation before the girls were even born. In November last year, aged 11 months, the twins underwent a surgical procedure to place tissue expanders to allow their skin to grow and stretch ready for their separation. Dr. Larry Hollier, surgeon-in-chief and chief of plastic surgery at Texas Children’s Hospital, said: “The success of this incredibly complex surgery was the result of our dedicated team members’ hard work throughout the last year. “Through simulations and countless planning meetings, we were able to prepare for situations that could arise during the separation. “We are thrilled with the outcome and look forward to continuing to care for Anna and Hope as they recover.” The Richards family, from North Texas, learned Jill was carrying conjoined twins during a routine ultrasound.

  • A set of one-year-old conjoined twins who had been sharing part of their hearts have been successful separated following a mammoth seven-hour operation. Anna and Hope Richards were separated at the Texas Children’s Hospital in Texas, it was announced this week, by a multidisciplinary 75-strong team of surgeons, anesthesiologists, cardiologists and nurses. The girls were delivered via C-section on 29 December, 2016, at 35 weeks gestation, weighing a combined 9lbs 12oz (4.4kg) and were conjoined at their chest and abdomen, through the length of their torso and shared the chest wall, pericardial sac (lining of the heart), diaphragm and liver. In addition they had large blood vessels connecting their hearts. The twins are now recovering at the hospital and are expected to be strong enough to go home in about a month’s time. “We've thought about and prayed for this day for almost two years,” their mother Jill Richards said, who welcomed the girls along with her husband Michael and their sons Collin and Seth. “It's an indescribable feeling to look at our girls in two separate beds.” The epic surgery was carried out on January 13 and involved planning and preparation before the girls were even born. In November last year, aged 11 months, the twins underwent a surgical procedure to place tissue expanders to allow their skin to grow and stretch ready for their separation.

  • EXCLUSIVE: *NO WEB UNTIL 8PM GMT 13TH MAY* Christina Babin's mum joined the Children of God sex cult when she was just a baby. As she grew up, travelling from commune to commune around the states, she witnessed orgies, prostitution and extreme violence against other kids until the age of 11 when a married couple took her into their bedroom to teach her to "enjoy sex" Such was the control cult leader David Berg had over his followers who he urged to teach children the joys of sex. He also adopted a 'flirty fishing' policy - sending women out to lure men into the cult with sex. Christina was also raped twice "by perverts" during her time in the cult and at 12 sent to Japan where she spent a month in a tough camp being indoctrinated before being sent to communes around Japan for the next two years. When she was 15 she was sent to the Philippines with her brother to a reprogramming camp where she spent 18 months being bullied, having her mouth taped up if she laughed and was forced to read the bible and make pledges to the cult constantly. Other 'inmates' were beaten. Her brother vanished for two months after being put in solitary isolation for having "worldly thoughts" and admitting to once smoking. All through her life she saw kids beaten, had to follow a strict regime, was beaten and disciplined by commune members. Families didn't live traditional lives - the kids lived with the kids and slept alongside them in rooms while the adults had rooms of their own. Victims of the cult include Rose McGowan and the Phoenix acting family. 02 May 2018 Pictured: Christina Babin. Photo credit: MEGA TheMegaAgency.com +1 888 505 6342

  • MIAMI, FL - AUGUST 07:  Young sweethearts Justin Bieber and Selena Gomez have reportedly broken up after the Disney star told Justin she didn't approve of his new hip-hop music friends. The Wizards Of Waverley Place star, who has been dating the Baby singer since the start of the year, has allegedly dumped the 17-year-old teen sensation because she is worried about the influence his new friends are having on him..In recent weeks, Justin has been spending more time publicly with Sean Kingston, rapper Lil Wayne, and singer Chris Brown who has a new song with the Canadian teenager. Chris Brown became a figure of notoriety after he attacked his ex-girlfriend Rihanna in 2009 which resulted with the Only Girl In The World singer having to go to hospital and Brown being charged with assault and making criminal threats. Lil Wayne meanwhile served eight months of a one year prison sentence in 2010 after pleading guilty to possession of a weapon. Justin has been friends with Jamaican singer Sean Kingston since they recorded the song Eenie Meenie together in April 2010 and last weekend when Justin and Sean were driving around South Beach in a Rolls Royce convertible, they were pulled over by a police officer who thought it was suspicious that two youngsters should be driving such an expensive car. Although the two boys didn't break any law and were allowed to continue driving, it is thought that Selena didn't like the attention that the incident drew to Justin. The final straw allegedly came when Justin took Sean to watch Selena perform that same weekend in Florida. A friend of Selena told the Sun newspaper: 'Selena told him to stop hanging with these bad people. She didn't want him to crash her gig. They had a huge row and said it was good they were having time apart while she was on tour.' However, Justin is said to have been devastated by her decision and was spotted in tears after one of their arguments.  The friend added to the newspaper: 'It's hard seeing a little 17-yea

  • People walk by city employees as they clean graffitis of the statue of Place de la Republique in Paris, on August 2, 2016 which had become a makeshift memorial in tribute to the victims of the recent attacks of the last two years. The City of Paris began on August 1, 2016 a large cleaning operation of the statue in the center of the square of the Republic, whose pedestal has become after each terrorist attack where people deposited flowers, candles or poems in tribute and support. Archivists of the city, as they have done several times in recent months, had to first select the last objects or documents and photograph texts, drawings, graffiti, related to the attacks, before scanning to preserve those testimonies.
