IT MUST BE TRUE…

I read it in the tabloids

Natasha Crown is dreaming big: she wants to have the world’s largest bottom. Her bum already has a circumference of six feet, and 88,000 followers on Instagram, but that isn’t enough for the 21-stone model from Gothenburg in Sweden. Crown is on a mission to gain another four stone, and to that end she eats 15 jars of Nutella every month. “I just love the feeling of having a big bum,” she told The Sun. “My bum makes me feel sexy and makes me feel powerful.” A London baker has been branded a “serial killer” after posting videos of herself cutting into cakes designed to look like animals. Hannah Edwards, aka The Cake Illusionist, is known for her ultra-realistic sponge creations, but clips of her slicing through the heads of a dog and a horse prompted a wave of online criticism. “THIS IS DISGUSTING!!!” raged one Facebook user. “How can you cut and eat a cake that looks like a real animal?” “That’s just sick!” added another. In vain, Edwards reminded her critics that “it’s not a real animal, it’s not even meat; it’s eggs, butter, sugar and flour”.

A new zoo in Cairo has come under fire for daubing a donkey with black stripes to pass it off as a zebra. Suspicions were aroused after a student noticed the paint smudging in hot weather. A number of vets have confirmed that the animal in question is in fact a donkey – painted, and with its mane shorn. However, the director of the International Garden zoo continues to deny that his zebra is a fake.
