Justin Bieber Fan Spends $100,000 on Plastic Surgery to Look Like His Idol Singer

 

From screaming teenage girls to fanatic grannies, everybody’s got Bieber fever, including Toby Sheldon, a 33-year-old songwriter from Los Angeles who spent $100,000 on plastic surgery trying to transform himself into his idol, Justin Bieber. The man has had countless procedures such as eyelid surgery, chin reduction and face fillers all in an off-the-wall attempt to look like the popular pop-star.

Toby has been fanatical with his fading boyish looks ever since he was 23, when he started a series of treatments for his thinning hair and ended up undergoing hair transplants which cost him an impressive $8,000. It wasn’t until 2008, when Justin became popular worldwide, that Toby really started considering plastic surgery. He explains that “once Justin shot to fame his face was everywhere and I all I kept thinking when I saw his picture was, ‘I want to look like him’.” To the distress of millions of second grade schoolgirls, Sheldon is not a true Bielieber as he mostly admires the pop star’s soft facial features rather than his musical aptitude. “I didn’t essentially listen to his music or fawn over him as a celebrity, but his face was just so flawless every change I made was modeled after him,” Sheldon says. With Justin in mind, the 33 year old spent another $21,000 to further improve his appearance and underwent a procedure to lower his hairline closer to his temples to resemble that of Bieber. Toby then grew out his bangs and got Bieber’s signature haircut which he says often gets him mistaken for his idol.

Still unsatisfied with how he looked and completely terrified of aging, Toby got Botox and Aquimid injections in his forehead and temples as well as eye surgery, which cost him $4,850, despite everyone – including doctors – telling him that the eyelid process was too much. “But it took going to eight different surgeons before anyone would agree to operate on me as everyone thought I was crazy to be obsessing over such a tiny detail,” Toby recalls. He then noticed other features could be enhanced as well. “When I first sought out to look like Justin I only paid attention to specific aspects of his boyish look like his hair and the structure of his face,” Sheldon says. “But the more I started studying Justin and young people in general it’s really their smile that gives them their youthful glow. If you look carefully, you’ll notice that when younger people just barely have their mouths open they naturally show their top teeth, giving them a sort of natural and effortless smile,” he adds. Also called the smile surgery, this process is very popular especially in Korea and the number of people who have had it in the U.S. has doubled in the past year. For a whopping $30,000, Toby’s frown has been turned upside down and transformed into a “perma-smile.”

In the past five years, Toby Bieber – as his friends now call him, has undergone various cosmetic procedures which add up to a astounding $100,000 in bills. But having so many invasive surgeries was not easy. He recalls that his smile surgery took more than a month to recuperate from, and that after his eyelid surgery, he couldn’t open his eyes for a week. However, he believes it was all worth it. “Between our similar hairstyles, baby faced smile and overall youthful appearance I finally look like Justin Bieber and I couldn’t be happier about it,” he says. Yet he still thinks there is room for development. “I know there is more work to be done in order to make a full transformation into Justin Bieber’s doppelganger like a nose job and jaw reduction, which my surgeon has suggested,” the wanna-be Bieber clone adds. However, Sheldon is content to look like a weird 15-year-old boy and to no longer be able to buy liquor without showing his ID.

Indian Couple to Set a New Record - As the World's Biggest ALBINO Family

White-skinned Indian couples are set to enter the record books along with their offspring, after becoming the world's biggest albino family.

The ten members of the Pullan family, headed by Rosetauri, 50, and his wife Mani, 45, all have the exceptionally pale skin and near-white hair of albinos.

But despite years of preconception and suffering the poor vision which is a side effect of the condition, the Pullans and their eight other family members are set to land a Guinness World Record.

The Pullan's sons Shankar, 24, Vijay, 25 and Ramkishan, 19, and daughters Renu, 23, Deepa, 21 and Pooja, 18, inherited their albinism, according to The Sun.

Renu married a man who also had albinism, Rosheh, 27, and the couple's son Dharamraj, 2, also inherited the condition from his parents.

The family live in a one-bedroom flat in Delhi, and say many fellow Indians find it hard to believe they were born and bred in the country.

Roseturai Pullan told The Sun: 'I've heard people call us 'angrez', which means 'English'.

All we know is that we can't see correctly, and we can't sit under the sun for long, but we live the best we can.

'People in Delhi are a little more open-minded, but many think we're foreigners. 'Albinism affects around one in 17,000 people. Those with the disorder do not produce enough melanin pigment, which gives colour to the skin, hair and eyes and protects the body from the sun's rays.

Albinos such as the Pullans often suffer from dangerous short-sightedness and a severe sensitivity to light.

After marrying in 1983, Rosetauri and Mani moved from southern India to Delhi.

The couple say they have had a 'tough life' and often been treated as outsiders, but mother Mani says despite the family's setbacks she sees the condition as a 'gift from God'.

A spokesperson for Guinness World Records said they would be contacting the Pullans to confirm the record of them being the world's biggest albino family.

It is thought the current record is held by a six-strong family who live in the U.S. and Canada.

Kate Middleton and William Break With Tradition on Godparents

Prince William and Kate reportedly have broken with royal tradition by choosing childhood and university friends to be the godparents of their son, Prince George.

The baptism of Prince George of Cambridge, who was born on July 22 in London, will take place on October 23 in the Royal Chapel of St James Palace, although the royal family still has not formally announced the names of the godparents.

Prince William and Kate have selected Fergus Boyd, a friend of the prince from the University of St Andrews in Scotland, as one of Prince George's godparents along with two childhood pals, Kate's friend Emilia d'Erlanger and William's friend Hugh van Cutsem.

Apparently, the decision was made because the royal couple believes their friends will provide more stability and a sense of normality to Prince George, who is third in line for British throne after Prince Charles and William.

The choice flies in the face of royal tradition, since princes have always had other princes or kings as their godparents. In the case of William, former King Constantine of Greece, is his godfather.

William also broke with royal tradition by choosing the chapel at St James Palace - and not Buckingham Palace - as the site of his son's baptism.

British media just confirmed that the baptism will be an intimate one for only closest relatives, including the Queen, Prince Philip, as well as Kate's parents and siblings and Prince Harry.

Two-Tailed Ancient Dinosaur-Era Bird Uncovered

120-million-year-old bird sported not one, but two tails, paleontologists found. The discovery indicates to a complicated evolutionary path in the tails of birds we see today, National Geographic reported.

The second-oldest known bird, Jeholornis, lived in what is today China along with other feathered prehistoric animals. Fossils show the Jeholornis was the size of a turkey, had claws on its winged forelimbs with three small teeth in its lower jaw.

Now, paleontologists are looking at the rear end of the huge birds. They not only possess a long-fan feathered tail but also a second tail frond.

"The 'two-tail' plumage of Jeholornis is exceptional," according to a study published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. The study was led by Jingmai O’Connor of the Chinese Academy of Sciences in Beijing.

Much like today's male peacocks which sport colorful feathers to attract their mates, the study suggests only male Jeholornis had the eye-catching tail fronds.

"Clearly the display aspect of the frond would have been indisputable," says paleontologist Mark Norell, of the American Museum of Natural History in New York, who was not part of the study. "It calls to mind living birds, even peacocks, which display broad plumes of feathers."

Tikker Watch - Countdown To Your Death

No-one really knows just how much time they have to live, but there are often formulas and tests that one can do to kind of envisage when you'll go, barring some unfortunate accident. It's even easier to keep track of that now with the Tikker watch that Today World News reported about and it is actually a death watch that lets you know when you're going to go.

There is a Kickstarter going for it to be produced and you can have your own for just a $39 pledge.

Essentially, the Tikker watch will be a incessantly running countdown clock to your ultimate death. Setting it up is easy as you answer some questions and then subtract your age from the results. From there, the clock on your "death watch" counts down the rest of your life.

The $39 pledge gets you a Tikker watch in plain black, but there are other, more stylish colors to let the world know of when you'll die. Those custom colors come with a price though as they require a pledge of $1,000.

Tikker gives the world the idea that they shouldn't waste their life by being upset with trifling things. Should they get frustrated with being bored, all they have to do is look down and remember life is ticking away and they should be happy with what they have left.

US Government Shutdown: Barack Obama Accuses Republicans of 'Extortion'

Barack Obama has warned opposition politicians to stop using “threats and extortion” over the ongoing US government shutdown.

The president, addressing a news conference, said the American people don’t request a ransom for doing their jobs, so neither should Republicans.

The US government closed down on October 1, when Congress was incapable to agree a budget. Republicans, who control the House of Representatives, refused to agree the budget, claiming they would only do so in exchange for concessions over Obama’s controversial healthcare reform law.

Obama now says he is willing to talk about any issues once Congress has voted to re-open government and raise the debt ceiling. He said: “I will sit down and work with anyone of any party not only to talk about the budget, I’ll talk about ways to progress the healthcare system.”

He added that ordinary Americans would suffer if the debt ceiling wasn’t raised and the country defaulted. Obama said: “A decision to actually go through with it, to actually permit default according to many CEOs and economists would be and I’m quoting here ‘insane catastrophic chaos’ , these are some of the more polite words. Warren Buffet likened default to a nuclear bomb.

“We can’t make extortion routine as part of our democracy. Democracy doesn’t function this way. And this is not just for me. It’s also for my successors in office, whatever party they’re from.”

Obama said that if Congress refused to raise the debt ceiling, America would not be able to meet its financial requirements for the first time in 225 years.

The US has until October 17 to raise its borrowing limit before it risks defaulting.

Shocking New Evidence - Jiah Khan Murdered Not Suicide

Rabiya Amin, mother of late actress Jiah Khan, has circulated some photos of her daughter post death to convey that she was murdered.

The aggrieved mother recently filed a petition in Bombay High Court insisting for a proper investigation in her daughter's death. She suspected that Jiah had been murdered and not committed suicide as believed.

On Friday, Rabiya took to Twitter and published some grim images of her daughter's body. The images give a closer look at the external injuries on Jiah's face.

"You can fool people but not God look at her expression and injuries," Rabiya said.

Other images showed Jiah wrapped in white and being prepared for her journey to the grave.

"For a mother to see her baby warped up this way is beyond words," Rabiya captioned one photo.

Jiah was originally believed to have killed herself owing to lack of work opportunities. The case took a twist when several letters in her handwriting were recovered, highlighting her abusive relationship with boyfriend Sooraj Pancholi, and son of veteran actor Aditya Pancholi.

Sooraj was arrested on charges of abetment to suicide and kept in court custody. He was granted bail three weeks later. Actor Salman Khan was dragged into the controversy when reports emerged that he had advised Sooraj to keep away from Jiah, which had led to further problems between the young couple.

On October 1, Rabiya sought for a CBI probe alleging that the investigation into her daughter’s death was abused. She submitted several photographs and shocking independent forensic reports to augment her stance that Jiah was murdered.

Jiah, better known for her work in "Nishabd", "Ghajni" and "Housefull 2", was found hanging at her Juhu residence on 3 June.

Lake Natron: Deadly Waters in Tanzania Turn Animals To Stone

 

Lake Natron in northern Tanzania causes any animal that becomes engrossed in the water to die and become calcified, according to an article from New Scientist Tuesday.

Nick Brandt, well-known for his photography of East Africa's natural landscape, came across Tanzania's Lake Natron during his travels.

The lake is named for a mineral (natron, often referred to as sodium carbonate decahydrate) whose presence gives Lake Natron a unusually high alkaline content. With a severe alkalinity pH that ranges from 9 to 10.5, and water temperatures that can reach 140 degrees Fahrenheit, the lake is so inhospitable that it kills most wildlife that wind up in its depths.

The lake's unique chemical composition calcifies living creatures like birds or bats, yielding faultlessly preserved specimens whose washed up bodies remain dotted along the lake's environs. According to The New Scientist, Brandt stumbled upon the calcified creatures in these very positions, collected them, and then placed their bodies on branches to create his eerie portraits.

Unless you are an alkaline tilapia (Alcolapia alcalica) – an extremophile fish adapted to the harsh conditions – it is not the best place to live. During the dry season, Lake Natron’s high pH levels are just below ammonia on the scale of caustic substances.

This makes the lake highly corrosive, and contributes to the “stoning” of so many birds and mammals that fall victim to the water. The mineral content can get so high that the water feels “thick” to the touch. Theories suggest the animals are muddled by the glassy surface of the lake and get trapped there, slowly calcifying because the water is so “heavy” they cannot escape once they come in contact with it.

The lake is fed by a river and mineral hot springs in the area, but has no outlet, so these waters have nowhere to go but up. Evaporation of the surface creates islands of exposed salt deposits in the lake, some large enough to be recorded on satellite images.
