Bride 'blinded' at salon
Pretty newlywed Gemma Wilson had her eyelashes tinted - and was left almost BLIND. Gemma's eyes began streaming and bleeding from chemical burns just hours after visiting a beauty salon. Docs say it could be months before Gemma, 21, knows whether she will regain her full sight. They have told Gemma, who can now only see a metre in front of her, they may have to operate to repair the damage.
Her husband Colin said yesterday: "The doctor said she had suffered a chemical burn. Layers of skin from her eyelid are peeling off. She's still screaming with pain." Medics have to trim Gemma's lashes as they think some of the mild peroxide used on them is still running into her eyes. Colin went on: "She needs eye drops every half-hour, even during the night, so she is getting hardly any sleep." Gemma said from hospital yesterday: "I can't really see anything but I am desperate to go home."
Personnel worker Gemma, from Huddersfield, West Yorks, went to local salon the Beauty Room last week after pals had their lashes tinted. When her eyes began streaming hospital docs gave her ointment - but then admitted her when her vision became blurred. Beauty experts said the tinting, an alternative to mascara, may have caused an allergic reaction. There was no one available for comment at the Beauty Room yesterday.

What a fucking moron. I have no sympathy for anyone who's stupid enough to get their eyelashes bleached when there's obviously a chance of getting blinded with that shit so close to the eye. Even if it is available at beauty salons, people need to use their common sense.
Police & Naked Man - Kick him in the nuts. That's all there is to it really.
Real Ultimate Power - "Ninjas are sooooooooooo sweet that I want to crap my pants. I can't believe it sometimes, but I feel it inside my heart. These guys are totally awesome and that's a fact. Ninjas are fast, smooth, cool, strong, powerful, and sweet. I can't wait to start yoga next year. I love ninjas with all of my body (including my pee pee)." The only ninja page you'll ever need.
Star Girls - As soon as the music comes on, I start to chuckle. They're a girl band from Down Under and it looks like they're trying to follow in the footsteps of S Club 7 with the whole tv show thing. Supposedly the coolest kids show around - they must have really crap shows down there then.
Tank Wars - Pick a tank and off you go. Blow up the enemy tanks and keep an eye out for the helicopters in the air.

The makers of Pop Idol, the 'make a star' show that has since become a worldwide hit, have announced a new variation on the format, due to arrive next spring. Following the success of Pop Idol and Popstars: The Rivals, the new series promises to be a radical departure from its predecessors with the winner proclaimed a god and worshipped in the stead of more traditional versions of the deity - such as God, Jesus and the Holy Ghost.
Despite these warnings of possible future hellfire, the show makers seem unworried about their blatant violation of religious scripture. "Does anyone even worship God anymore?" said one insider, summing up the feeling of many within the manufactured talent industry that traditional ideas of faith-based Gods are outdated. "People nowadays want a deity who isn't too self-important to appear on shows like SM:TV to promote their new single."
