Man faces divorce after penis extension breaks during sex

Doctors in Voronezh, southern Russia, had fitted the special prosthetic when Grigory Toporov, 47, told them he didn't measure up to his wife's expectations in the bedroom.
But she was horrified when the extension broke off during a wild sex session.
"I told her I would get a new one but she wasn't having any of it. She said she was fed up with my failures in bed and wants a divorce," said Toporov.

Stab your mates on facebook

A facebook application has been removed from the site after public outcry that people could stab each other as a Super poke action.

Other actions include smiling at, sending a bouquet to, and the original and now old school poke. However, other options are now to smack, spit at, and ‘shank’ which is illustrated by an icon of a knife. Members could use the blade icon to deliver the “attack” to any friend or stranger who has a profile. The victim then receives a message saying they have been ‘shanked.’

With 21 teenagers murdered in London alone this year, and most attacks involving knives, the game did not seem appropriate for any site, especially one so widely used. This super poke option has now been removed from the application and makers Slide have admitted the icon was in bad taste.

Peaches in drug overdose

Peaches Geldof stopped breathing for several minutes and could have died or suffered severe brain damage after a suspected drug overdose in her flat.

The 19 year old was given mouth-to-mouth resuscitation and chest compressions by a friend to keep her alive whiles emergency services raced to her flat on Sunday afternoon.

The incident was spookily reminiscent of her mother, after Paula Yates died due to an accidental heroin overdose in 2000.

She walked down the red carpet last night at The Dark Knight premier, obviously recovering swiftly.

Pammy calls Jessica a whore

Jessica Simpson steps out stateside on a hot day, complete with standard celeb cap and shades, plus an additional “real girls eat meat” t-shirt. Seems like just a normal day…

Until that is former Baywatch babe and dedicated vegetarian Pamela Anderson outbursts on radio: “I think she’s a bitch and a whore” referring to said t-shirt and Jessica’s meat-eating ways.

Although Pammy’s a dedicated vegetarian, and regular hangs out with her equally dedicated vegetarian friends, it seems a strange over-reaction…however it all makes sense when put in the context that Pam’s currently in Australia media whoring her own self in wait to go into the down under Big Brother house.
