Hugh Hefner has accused Holly Madison of 'rewriting history' for her tell-all memoir in a desperate bid to stay relevant. The Playboy kingpin, 89, is described as pathetic, predatory, emotionally manipulative, and a disappointing lover in Madison's newly-released book Down The Rabbit Hole: Curious Adventures And Cautionary Tales From A Former Playboy Bunny. She says life in the Mansion became so depressing that she even contemplated suicide.

A brave teenager has shared with the world her struggle as she fights idiopathic scoliosis (bottom right).

A passenger on a charter fishing vessel captured a photo of the fin slinking along above the surface of the water on Saturday, a mile away from Moody Beach in Portland. The predator was also spotted by a diver a short distance down the coast, while other fisherman said they saw it 26 miles out to sea. Jaron Thibault, who was on a charter boat with his family when they saw the shark, said they were able to get close to it three times. Despite the sightings, the U.S. Coast Guard has not yet said whether it is a great white. Shark sightings are not uncommon, they are rare at this time of year and so close to the shore.

At first glance, with his instantly-recognisable toothbrush moustache and trademark side-parting, this photograph is not unlike other images seen of the Nazi dictator throughout history. But this bizarre picture, which has only recently been uncovered, claims to show Adolf Hitler shunning his usual military attire for a floating, Japanese kimono (right). The photograph, thought to be taken in the 1930s, shows a man who looks remarkably like the Fuhrer striking a serious, almost comedy pose as he dons the swastika-emblazoned dress. The exact origin of the picture is unknown but it is thought to have been taken in 1936, to commemorate the signing of the international pact between Nazi Germany and Japan.

The eagle squeaks and peeps with approval in a video as the owner rubs his belly. The bird of prey did not seem very fierce during the touching moment with his owner.

The 3m-long lizards, the largest on our planet, squared each other up in a head-to-head battle of wills. The epic battle took place against the spectacular island backdrop of the lizard's Indonesian home. Although they don't quite match up to a 12m Tyrannosaurus rex, the struggle is fiercely reminiscent of a scene straight out of the latest Jurassic World blockbuster.
