Jenna ( or is it Jack) Talackova, 23, competed with 61 contestants Saturday night. She was among the final 12 contestants.

Talackova, who was born a male, underwent a sex change four years ago. The Vancouver, British Columbia, native was initially denied entry to Canada's pageant because she was not a natural-born female. Donald Trump, who runs the Miss Universe Organization, subsequently overruled that decision.

The 6-foot-1 (1.8-meter-1 centimeter) blond beauty strutted the runway and competed in the bikini and formal wear contests.

The winner advances to the international Miss Universe competition in December.

The first trailer for The Possession has debuted over at Yahoo Movies, giving us our first look at the film, starring Jeffrey Dean Morgan (Watchmen) and Kyra Sedgwick (Gamer) as increasingly concerned parents of the young Natasha Callis (The Firm).

    “Clyde and Stephanie Brenek see little cause for alarm when their youngest daughter Em becomes oddly obsessed with an antique wooden box she purchased at a yard sale. But as Em’s behavior becomes increasingly erratic, the couple fears the presence of a malevolent force in their midst, only to discover that the box was built to contain a dibbuk, a dislocated spirit that inhabits and ultimately devours its human host.”

Directed by Ole Bornedal (Nightwatch), returning with his first English-language film in a decade, directing from a script co-written by frequent collaborators Juliet Snowden and Stiles White (Knowing).

The Possession will be released in the UK and US on 31st August, which (as noted) puts it head-to-head with Paco Plaza’s return to the REC franchise here in the UK, but puts it a week earlier than [REC] 3’s release in the US, where the latter will be released on 7th September. Here’s the first trailer to see what Bornedal has in store for us.

Loch Ness in Chippewa River

The Loch Ness monster wanted a vacation, and what a better place than Wisconsin – and state officials need the very legendary monster to be removed.

Department of Natural Resources spokesman Dan Baumann says a sculpture of Nessie is illegally obstructing and protruding out of the Chippewa River in Eau Claire and needs to be removed by the very individual who placed it there.

The sculpture's father is a mystery, although a individual who anonymously emailed the Eau Claire Leader-Telegram on Thursday said it would be removed within 10 days.

Retailer Menards says it would like to acquire the guerrilla art and that the monster could make her home in retention ponds at the home improvement chain's Eau Claire property.

The Loch Ness monster was first "spotted" at Loch Ness, a waterway some 15 kilometres south of Inverness, Scotland, in 1933.
 

Larry Hall, who is a Condo developer is already 1/4 sold out of upscale doomsday units he is building in an abandoned underground Cold War-era Atlas-F missile silo near Salina, Kan. He told an Agence France-Presse reporter in April that his 14-story structure would house seven floors of apartments ($1 million to $2 million each, cash up front), with the rest devoted to dry food storage, filtered-water tanks and an indoor farm, which would raise fish and vegetables to sustain residents for five years.

The 9-foot-thick concrete walls (built to protect rockets from a Soviet nuclear attack) would be buttressed by entrance security to ward off the savages who were not wise enough to prepare against famine, meteors, nuclear war and the like. Hall said he expects to be sold out this year and begin work on another of the three silos he has options to buy.
 

Valeria Lukyanova has grown to be an internet sensation in her home country of Russia, claiming on her blog to be the most famed girl on the Russian-language internet.

Her doll-like features, long blonde hair and ‘perfect’ body resulted in her look like a real life Barbie.

Horrified viewers have slammed the girl over her looks. One commented: She appears not merely ugly, yet insane whilst one more wrote: "A girl with completely perfect features is reall a bit boring woman."

Others have been kinder to the blonde beauty. One asked: "Isn't it an unhealthy obsession searching to look like a Barbie doll"

But the large query continues to be unanswered: Is Valeria real or is this just a bit of an elaborate Photoshop hoax?

More "normal" photos of her are on her Facebook page and are of the 21-year-old wearing significantly much less of make-up suggesting she does exists.
 

The mirade of "Ways of ruining your kids lives" is about a trillion miles long, and mixed in the middle of "reading bedtime stories too scary" and "comparing kids" there is this gem: have your child choose winning lottery numbers

It is not unusual for a school fight to be started due to Facebook – except, perhaps, when the organizers are two adults and mothers at that.

The mothers of the children from a British school, were arguing online about a upcoming children's party, and could not settle the argument so they agreed to meet outside their children's school after dropping their children off. The mothers fought at 9 am but was quickly stopped by local bobbies. Shame they did not decide to fight in lingerie.

Just like a scene out of "Arachnophobia", spiders have silk covered an Australian city in an attempt to reach higher ground during the flood season.
