Lusaka – A 26-year-old woman in Zambia’s Luwingu district has given birth to pure hair, according to the Luwingu District Medical Officer, Dr Ernest Mutale.
The Zambia National Information Services (ZANIS) on Wednesday reported the woman had been 10 months pregnant and she gave birth to pure hair and a little blood.
According to Dr Mutale, the woman, a Ms. Mwape, was referred to Luwingu District Hospital from Chikoyi rural health centre after she gave birth to something that looked like Brazilian hair.
Mutale explained that Mwape is a mother of two children and this bizarre pregnancy was her third.
He said that after a medical check-up, Mwape narrated that she was feeling as though the pregnancy was normal as she would feel the baby kicking in her womb.
The Luwingu District Medical Officer said that Mwape attended ante-natal regularly but her medical records showed that there were no irregular movements.
He said that the medical team suspected Mwape had a molar pregnancy but after several medical check-ups results showed that it was not.
Report says Mwape is still admitted to Luwingu District Hospital waiting further medical check-ups.

Poll: Should under-fire Messi be dropped from the Argentina national team?

The 28-year-old has been the subject of heavy criticism in his homeland following Saturday's Copa America final loss to Chile but would the Albiceleste be better off without him?

Another summer, another final heartbreak for Argentina. After their extra-time defeat to Germany in the 2014 World Cup showpiece, Tata Martino's side again fell short in last Saturday's Copa America final - losing on penalties to hosts Chile.

It is now over 20 years since the Albiceleste won a major title and it is star man Lionel Messi who is bearing the brunt of the blame back home.

Despite breaking a host of records and winning four Champions League titles with Barcelona, the 28-year-old has been unable to replicate his club heroics with the national side.

There are increasing calls in the Argentine media for Messi to be dropped - with the playmaker criticised for not caring about his nation and for being unable to function outside of Barcelona's setup.

However, Goal's Argentina edition has launched a campaign defending the favourite for the 2015 Fifa Ballon d'Or, asking Facebook users to support their #YoBancoAMessi (I support Messi) hashtag.

But, what should Martino do? Should he persist with the Barcelona hero or build a new team without him?

Have your say in our poll!

The Chelsea FC manager, Jose Mourinho has reportedly turned down a massive pay rise to extend his stay at Chelsea, according to Daily Star. The Special One enjoyed a fabulous campaign last term, guiding the Blues to a domestic double – Capital One Cup and Premier League.
Though he has agreed a new four-year deal, The Sun suggest he will still be on the same £8.5million salary. The only subtle difference they suggest, is that Mourinho’s new deal will run for two more years which means he will stay at Stamford Bridge until 2019.
A source close to Mourinho told the paper: “It has been an easy deal to do. Jose said he’s happy on the same money as before so we’re just extending the contract by two years. Everyone’s delighted. I don’t need a contract, I don’t need a pay rise. I stay as long as Mr Abramovich wants me!” He said.

Real Madrid superstar Cristiano Ronaldo came face to face with a scantily clad life-size double on Wednesday when Japanese scientists unveiled a “cyber clone” of the Portuguese pin-up. The 30-year-old, who was in Tokyo to promote an electric muscle stimulator for sculpting a washboard stomach, gave the thumbs-up to the doppelganger with moving facial features, created after a 3D scan of his body using 110 micro cameras.

“It’s perfect,” smiled Ronaldo as he checked out the clone with fluttering eyelids and roving eyes. “I love it.” The silicon dummy, made with the help of a Hollywood studio, was naked but for a black pair of Ronaldo‘s own brand of underwear and the pulsing “Six-Pad” device attached to its torso.
“I have to say he looks just like me,” added Ronaldo. “I would be a liar if I said it doesn’t.”
Ronaldo, the reigning world footballer of the year, has legions of fans who swoon over his chiselled looks and muscular physique, which he regularly shows off by removing his shirt to celebrate goals.
There was a similar reaction when Ronaldo was wheeled out for Japanese television as studio guests giddily prodded and poked his stomach. A detailed graphic also revealed his “eight-pack” — not the standard six that gym-goers aspire to.
Celebrities on Fuji TV’s “Viking” show cooed “Oh, your face is so small” — a traditional Japanese compliment for good-looking foreigners — as Ronaldo appeared in jeans, a tight T-shirt and diamond ear studs. Ronaldo, who earns an estimated $43 million a year in salary and endorsements, laughed when the male presenter asked about reports the player does 3,000 sit-ups daily.
“No, that’s not true,” he said. “I hit the gym after training every day, sure. But I do about 300 sit-ups a day.” Asked to show off his belly, Ronaldo duly obliged to approving gasps, while studio guests lifted their own shirts to reveal flabby tummies, one wag shouting “I’ve got a one-pack!” to Ronaldo‘s amusement.
Ronaldo visited Japan last year to push a face-stretching gadget designed to enhance the user’s smile, although he refused to put it in his mouth as intended, perhaps fearful of a backlash on social media. Japan is a common destination for European or American stars who are paid big money to sell products that never see the light of day back home.
Many insist on confidentiality clauses, preventing commercials from being shown in their home countries, although the spread of the Internet has now complicated the process.

Well said! Nicki, well said! Her ex-Safaree said recently that Nicki refused to have a child with him.

A 21 year old Russian woman named Anna Krupeynikova fell off a bridge while trying to take a selfie according to local media reports. Anna and some of her friends had been traveling in a bus while sightseeing around Moscow when they stopped at the bridge to take photos. Anna moved away from the group to take a selfie with her camera in front of her, unfortunately the fence she leaned on to take the pic was in bad condition, and gave way. She plunged 40ft to her death. Sad!

Pregnant or not, Kim Kardashian knows just about how to nail a sexy look. Showing off her fabulous booty and bountiful bossoms, the s-exy little number clung to her curves in all of the right places and did a good job of covering up her tiny baby bump.

She complimented it with a pair of strappy black heels.

According to reports, A lady lost her phone and Cristiano Ronaldo found the missing phone at a club and called the owner to come pick it up.
When the lady, Austin Woolstenhlme showed up, the Real Madrid striker took her and her friends to dinner.
The excited Austin shared the news on Twitter, she wrote “Bad news is I lost my phone two days ago. Good news is Cristiano Ronaldo found it. Better news is he took us to dinner last night.”

The Kardashian sisters, Kourtney, Kim and Khloe were spotted filming ‘Keeping Up With The Kardashians’ in Westlake Village, California.

So alluring a sight, pregnant Kim killed it in a skintight white dress, Khloe sporting tapered trousers and a long-sleeved top while Kourtney rocked a midriff-baring halter-neck and mesh maxi skirt. Wow!!! This is what i call style…

Now, who knows if this has to do with Rozay , barely few days after his bails out of jail comes this attack.

According to our sources, a late-model Corvette, a Mercedes CL63 that retails for over $150,000 and an Infiniti G35 were damaged by the gunfire, which happened just outside Twelve Music Group and UDigg Studios at about 4am in the parking lot.

‘There was no indication Ross was involved in the shooting or at the studio at the time of the incident, according to an Atlanta police incident report obtained by The Atlanta Journal-Constitution.
The AJC previously reported Ross was opening an office in the Twelve Studios complex, which is in an industrial area off Collier Road. The door to UDigg Studios features a drawing of Ross and two shovels.
According to the incident report, two women told police they were inside one of the music studios when they “heard the loud noise that sounded like fireworks but were actually gunshots.”
One of the women told police she went to check on her vehicle when she saw shattered glass on the floor in the studio.

The report further stated that officers found eight .40-caliber shell casings in the street in front of the studio.
Besides the cars, the gunfire also destroyed a glass window of the building, though, no casualties recorded….

Filipino boxing star Manny Pacquiao said on Wednesday he was recovering well after surgery for a shoulder injury, a news report said.
“I’m ready to fight, next year,’’ he said in Indonesia when he was asked whether he was ready for a re-match with Floyd Mayweather after their fight in May, a website reported.
Pacquiao tore a rotator cuff in his right shoulder while on training and during the much-anticipated fight against Mayweather on May 2 and underwent surgery afterwards. Pacquiao lost the fight by unanimous decision.
“I’m fine. I can lift it,’’ Pacquiao said, gesturing with his right arm during a trip to Indonesia to film a commercial’’.
Several lawsuits have been filed against Pacquiao and his promoters for allegedly failing to disclose his shoulder injury before the fight against Mayweather, the most lucrative bout in history.
Reports in his home country, the Philippines, said that he was planning to visit a Philippine woman facing execution in Indonesia for drug trafficking.
Pacquiao, who also heads a Philippine parliamentary commission on migrant workers, appealed to Indonesian President Joko Widodo in April to show clemency to Veloso. (dpa/NAN)

Sakari Momoi, certified as world oldest living male by Guinness World Records, died on Sunday, July 5 in Japan, an official said at Saitama City, North of Tokyo, where he had lived for many years.
Saitama city officials said the super-centenarian was recognised as the world’s oldest male at the age of 111 in 2015. He died of kidney failure in a care home in Tokyo.

The officials said that Momoi, a former high school principal who was born on Feb. 5, 1903, had received a certificate from Guinness World Records confirming the achievement in 2015.
He was born in Minamisoma, Fukushima, an area badly hit by the deadly 9.0-magnitude earthquake and tsunami in 2011.
According to U.S.-based Gerontology Research Group, the title of the world’s oldest living male was now passed to Japan’s Yasutaro Koide, also 112 years old and just over a month younger than Momoi.

A woman was arrested on a charge of assault after allegedly beating up her boyfriend because he refused to have s*x with her, police in Georgia said.

According to Odd News Blog, Augusta police said that they have arrested 35-year-old Tabithia Grooms, after being accused of beating her boyfriend and her mother. According to the police investigation, early in the day, Grooms asked her boyfriend for s*x, and when he refused, she went out for several hours before coming back in the evening.
When Grooms of the 1900 block of Haynie Drive, came home, she attacked her boyfriend who was sitting on the couch. She hit his face, head and neck before biting his arm. During the assault, Grooms said that she had s*x with numerous men because he refused to sleep with her early in the day.
Her boyfriend escaped to the bathroom and called police. When police arrived, Grooms threatened to run over one of the officers with a baby carriage. Grooms’ mother, who also lives in the house, said that her daughter punched her in the left eye. Grooms was charged with two counts of assault.

Kenyan anti-gay protesters marched in Nairobi Monday warning US President Barack Obama not to speak about gay rights when he visits the country of his ancestors later this month.
“We do not want Obama and Obama, we do not want Michelle and Michelle,” they chanted. “We want Obama and Michelle and we want a child!”
“It is important for us as Kenyans to know that the US is not God,” said protest organiser and evangelical Christian pastor Bishop Mark Kariuki.
Kariuki said Obama was welcome to visit “his father’s home” but should not “talk about the gay issue.”
The demonstration drew around 100 people, wearing T-shirts and waving posters with the slogan “Protect The Family”.
It came a day after Kenya’s deputy president William Ruto, who is on trial at the International Criminal Court in The Hague accused of crimes against humanity, told worshippers at a church service that homosexuality was “against the plan” of God.
“We have heard that in the US they have allowed gay relations and other dirty things,” Ruto said, according to the Daily Nation newspaper.
“I want to say as a Christian leader that we will defend our country Kenya, we will stand for our faith and our country.”
Ruto made similar comments in May when US Secretary of State John Kerry visited Kenya.
Homophobia is prevalent in many African countries and gay sex remains illegal in several nations, including Kenya where it was outlawed under British colonial legislation.
The march Monday was organised by the Evangelical Alliance of Kenya, a coalition of several churches.
Obama’s visit later this month will be his fourth to Africa since becoming US president, but his first to Kenya since taking office in 2009. He will also travel to Ethiopia.
Pro-gay rights activists warned of rising intolerance in Kenya, including attacks on homosexuals and alleged cases of lesbians being raped to “cure” them.
“The anti gay movement is spreading to Kenya… cases of discrimination and violence are increasing because of the very homophobic speeches,” said lawyer Erik Gitari, from the National Gay and Lesbian Human Rights Commission.
“Obama has been associated with equality and liberation, being the first black US president. They are afraid that he will preach equality here,” said Gitari.

Miguel is not afraid to speak his mind. When it comes to the competition, the confident crooner is declaring his superiority.
In a conversation with the U.K.’s Sunday Times, he spoke out about comparisons to his peers including Frank Ocean, who he ran into at a London hotel bar during the interview.
“We’re, er, cordial. I wouldn’t say we were friends,” says Miguel, who lost the Grammy for Best Urban Contemporary Album to Ocean’s Channel ORANGE in February 2013. While the rest of the crowd at Staples Center stood for Ocean, Miguel remained seated.
He admits that when it comes to his art, he’s “super-competitive.” “To be completely honest—and no disrespect to anyone—I genuinely believe that I make better music, all the way around,” declares Miguel, whose third album Wildheart dropped last month.
When asked about other R&B singers like Ocean and The Weeknd, Miguel suggests that he will outlast them. “It’s interesting,” he explains, “but we’ll see who’s in it for the long haul. It’s like a marathon, you know.”
So does he envy Ocean’s status as a troubled soul? “That’s Frank. Frank is the tortured. That’s his thing. That’s not who I am. I may not be dark—as dark—and I may not be as poetic, but I’m living my real shit.”
During the interview, he also spoke out about the accident at the 2013 Billboard Music Awards, when he fell on top of an audience member while trying to jump across the stage. Since then, one of the women is taking legal action against Miguel and the MGM Grand in Las Vegas, where the awards took place.
“I was devastated,” he says. “It was almost like mocking me. I’m a Scorpio, and we don’t really do well with embarrassment.

A horrifying giant python was spotted eating a large black bat for half an hour in front of shocked couple at Sunshine Beach, Queensland, Australia.

Please, scroll down to see the jaw-dropping photographs below!

The three-metre-long reptile and its eeriee meal were discovered by Mille Stoevring and her partner Shane Tuer at their back yard. Shocked with the predatror’s eating habits they decided to take pictures of the unusual ‘show’ and spent at least 30 minutes waiting for the snake to end with its repast.

“We were there filming about 20 centimetres away, the snake wasn’t fazed at all. It was fascinating to watch it making its way over the bat’s body, to the other wing tip. It was just amazing to see the snake’s mouth square as it tried to somehow fit the edged parts of the bat in,” Ms Stoevring said.
