Princess Diana's nieces and their hedonistic lives show aristocracy has changed

For centuries, the Spencer family has charted its history in dusty family portraits that hang at the family seat at Althorp in Northamptonshire. Earls and Countesses appear in haughty oil paintings, surrounded by trees or sitting at oak writing desks, sternly looking far off into the distance. The message is clear: it's serious work being one of Britain's pre-eminent noble families who count Sir Winston Churchill and Princess Diana as part of the clan. One can't help, then, but note the contrast between the formality of the past and the frivolity of the present. Because the latest glamorous breed of young Spencers delights in posing for the camera in an altogether different manner from their forebears. Lady Kitty Spencer, 25, and her sisters, twins Lady Eliza and Lady Amelia, 23, (all pictured) are a trio of platinum blonde bombshells.

Ex-soldier who lost his face saving woman's life in horrific accident reveals remarkable transformation after receiving one of the world's first ever transplants

US soldier who received one of the world's first ever face transplant speaks out

Beauty pageant organizer accused Trump of unwanted fondling and contestant claimed he said 'all women are bimbos'

EW YORK ? Donald Trump piled into his limousine with a group of pin-up calendar models dressed in skimpy dresses. It was a snowy night in Manhattan, December 1992, and the festive group was embarking on a circuit of exclusive clubs after a sumptuous dinner at the Plaza Hotel?s Oak Room.

As the limo wove through the city, Trump discussed his views on dating, according to one of the women riding along. The billionaire casino mogul declared that ?all women are bimbos? and said most were ?gold diggers? who would be smart to go after men with money. Like him.


Rhonda Noggle, the model who relayed the story to the Globe in an interview, said that, at that point, she had had enough. Speaking sharply to Trump, she said, she asked him to stop the limo. The car grew silent.

?I told him I would rather be with a trash man who respected me than someone who was a rich, pompous ass,? Noggle said. ?And I got out. And I took a cab ride home.?

Mother, 38, wins $50 MILLION from Bronx hospital six years after doctor left her with irreparable wounds during childbirth that means she can't have sex with her husband

New York mother wins $50m from Bronx hospital 6 years after doctor botched her surgery

A mother has won $50 million from a hospital six years after a doctor left her with irreperable wounds during a natural childbirth. Llaulin Cruz, 38, (left and top right) has had permanent bladder issues, forcing her to wear panty liners every waking hour, since delivering her daughter in 2009 at St Barnabas Hospital in the Bronx, New York (bottom right). It means she can't have sex with her husband (top right, with their two children), struggles to work, and endures hours of pain a day. A jury heard her obstetrician Dr Michael Ihemaguba (inset) carried on ordering Cruz to push long after her newborn had crowned during the birth six years ago. He then made a surgical incision in her vagina, an episiotomy, which is advised against by the US obstetricians board. And the jury heard he did not properly stitch up the wound. Unaware of the botched wound, Cruz got pregnant again a year later, and it ripped when she gave birth naturally. In the six years since, she has had more than 12 operations to repair the tear. On Monday, after a month-long jury trial, Cruz was awarded $40 million for future pain and damage, and $10 million for past suffering.

Walmart shopper who called 911 on man who was shot dead by cops for waving what turned out to be a BB gun will NO LONGER face charges for the tip-off

Ronald Ritchie called 911.
A 911 caller won't be charged for reporting a man waving a gun in an Ohio Wal-Mart store before police fatally shot the shopper, who'd picked up an air rifle from a shelf, a special prosecutor said Monday.
The decision was made by Mark Piepmeier, the prosecutor who presented the shooting case to a grand jury. The grand jury concluded the August 2014 shooting of John Crawford III at the Beavercreek store, near Dayton, was justified.
The grand jury had authority to bring charges against 911 caller Ronald Ritchie if merited but didn't, Piepmeier said in a Monday court filing outlining his findings that no charges are warranted.
"I don't find any evidence that Mr. Ritchie knew any of the information he was providing was false," Piepmeier wrote.
The Hamilton County prosecutor's office, where Piepmeier is chief assistant prosecutor, said he wouldn't comment further.
A group of people who took interest in the shooting had used an obscure law to push for prosecution

Ronald Ritchie (pictured) told 911 John Crawford III was waving a rifle and pointing it at Walmart in Beavercreek, Ohio. Crawford, who was gunned down by police, had a BB gun in hand.

EXCLUSIVE: Mick Jagger is a 'monstrous' human being who has made the Rolling Stones 'a machine that runs on bodies' - author's devastating verdict on star

Rolling Stone's Keith Richards was on brink of death for days after quitting heroin

A new book by author Rich Cohen, who has known the Stones for two decades, describes Jagger as being interested only in the show going on, with the first casualty Brian Jones in 1969. Jones was a founding member of the band (pictured - right, in the center of the front row - in 1963) but died in a swimming pool after his life spiraled out of control. Cohen says Jagger (performing with Ronnie Wood and Keith Richards this month in Cuba) was the driving force in the decision to sack Jones, and effectively took over the band in the 1970s when the other members were consumed by drugs.

JFK's sister Kathleen Kennedy helped him cover up affair with married German spy

Kathleen 'Kick' Kennedy was the second daughter of Joe and Rose Kennedy and the sister closest in age to John F. Kennedy. The siblings were both living in Washington, D.C., where Kick introduced him to her colleague Inga Arvad, a voluptuous blonde Dane. She had been pictured with Adolf Hitler at the 1936 Olympics in Berlin. Arvad and JFK had a torrid affair - until Joe put the kibosh on it after she was denounced as a German spy. While living in London, Kick, an Irish Catholic, fell in love with Protestant Billy Hartington, the future Duke of Devonshire. Joe and Rose Kennedy were furious about the match and when the couple married only her brother Joe Jr. came to the wedding.

After patiently hiding in the treetops awaiting its prime opportunity to swoop, this is the dramatic moment a keen short-toed snake eagle launched its offensive on an unsuspecting cobra.

Dramatic pictures, taken by amateur photographer Vikram Ramesh, caught the moment the deadly snake reared up and lunged towards the eagle (right), forcing the savvy bird to swerve away from its fangs.
