Pistorius vomits during graphic testimony

Oscar Pistorius arrives in court.

Oscar Pistorius arrives in court.

Oscar Pistorius repeatedly vomited, retched and sobbed as he heard graphic details of his girlfriend Reeva Steenkamp’s injuries on the sixth day of his murder trial.

The disgraced Paralympic champion vomited into a bucket provided him to by the court and cried loudly as the forensic pathologist who conducted Steenkamp’s autopsy described the damage done to her body in terms so graphic the judge agreed to halt the trial’s live television coverage for the duration of the testimony.

Judge Masipa also stopped the live radio feed from the courtroom and banned journalists from live tweeting the evidence in order to protect people, particularly children, from the grisly details.

Pistorius’ extreme reaction to the evidence won him no fans on social media, with some claiming it was all an act designed to garner maximum sympathy for him.

Pistorius has pleaded not guilty to murdering Steenkamp on Valentine’s Day in 2013. If he is found guilty, he faces 25 years in jail.

Steve Irwin’s last words revealed

Steve Irwin

Steve Irwin

The cameraman who witnessed Steve Irwin’s death has spoken about the Crocodile Hunter’s last moments for the first time.

Justin Lyons was filming Irwin for a new documentary entitled Ocean’s Deadliest when he was attacked by a giant sting ray.

“Stingrays are normally very calm – if they don’t want you to be near them, they’ll swim away,” Lyons told Studio Ten yesterday.

“All of a sudden it propped on its front and started stabbing wildly with its tail. Hundreds of strikes in a few seconds.

“I panned with the camera as the stingray swam away – I didn’t even know it had caused any damage. It wasn’t until I panned the camera back and Steve was standing in a huge pool of blood that I realised something was wrong.”

Lyons said the sting ray’s barb had pierced Irwin’s heart “like a hot knife through butter”. Lyons threw Irwin back into their boat and sped off towards the shore, telling Irwin to think of his children.

“He was in extraordinary pain – they’ve got venom on their barb, so I knew it must’ve been painful.

“He just sort of calmly looked up at me and said, ‘I’m dying’. And that was the last thing he said.

“We hoped for a miracle. I did CPR on him for over an hour before the medics came, but then they pronounced him dead within 10 seconds of looking at him.”

The entire ordeal was captured on camera, in accordance with Irwin’s wish that anything that happened to him while filming be documented.

The footage is thought to still exist but Lyons says he will never make it public.

“Out of respect for his family, I would say never,” he said.

Prince Harry introduces Cressida Bonas to the Queen

Prince Harry takes his girlfriend, Cressida Bonas to meet the Queen.
Prince Harry and Cressida Bonas

Harry, who has been dating Cressida Bonas for two years, is reportedly planning to take his girlfriend to the Queen’s Scottish highlands retreat for the first time, which will likely include a meeting with the 87-year-old monarch.

According to British newspapers, the couple’s trip to the Balmoral home could be a prelude to a formal engagement announcement.

“Prince Harry is expected to bring Cressida,” according to a newspaper source. “It is the talk of the estate.”

Visits to the Queen’s 49,000-acre estate are thought to be a rite of passage for any royal bride-to-be.

The Duchess of Cambridge and her parents were invited to join Prince William on a private shooting party at Balmoral in back in October 2010, and a month later their engagement was announced.

The couple at Twickenham watching the rugby on Sunday.

The usually discreet couple finally made their romance official at the weekend with two very public outings in three days after spending months trying to avoid being pictured together.

Bonas joined Harry at a public engagement for the first time on Friday, and on Sunday the pair were spotted at Twickenham Stadium with Cressida snapped looking absolutely smitten with the redheaded royal.

Harry has previously talked about finding a girlfriend who could tackle the pressures of being with a member of the Royal Family, saying he was “not so much searching for someone to fulfill the role, but obviously finding someone that would be willing to take it on”.

Bonas, who was reportedly introduced to Harry by her friend and his cousin, Princess Eugenie, comes from a bohemian but appropriately blue-blooded family.

Magda Szubanski has asked Australia to "accept" the fact that she is fat and stop being shocked that she isn't ashamed of it.
Magda Szubanski

Magda Szubanski has asked Australia to “accept” the fact that she is fat and stop being shocked that she isn’t ashamed of it.

The 52-year-old comedienne appeared on the TODAY show this morning where she vowed not to let the paparazzi stop her from enjoying her life.

“I refuse to be ashamed,” she said. “I’m going to go to the beach, I’m going to live a normal life. I’m a big proponent of fat acceptance.

“I want to lose weight for health reasons but if I stay overweight I’m not going to feel terrible about myself. I think it’s very important that we take shame out of the equation because it helps no one.

“Do your worst paparazzi. I’m going to be there fat on the beach – whatever. It’s just life. It’s just me.”

Magda lost 36 kilograms on Jenny Craig in 2009, but the weight has crept back on in the past four years.

This week, she announced she had signed a new deal with the weight loss firm and is trying to slim down again for the sake of her health.

“For me, I’m never going to be skinny but it’s about getting back to a level where I can be fit and do the things that I want to do and feel healthier,” she said.

“I hope this is one that cracks it. Hopefully this time it will stick.”

Brynne Edelsten’s got a new man

After her very public split from husband Geoffrey, the Melbourne socialite may have a new love in her life.

Since being back on the singles scene, Brynne Edelsten has been a regular visitor to Melbourne nightspot Eve Nighcub – and this may have set the scene for a budding new romance.

Club promoter Alex Roberts and Brynne have formed a bond, according to friends of the couple, and they are in the very early stages of courtship.

Alex is one of Melbourne’s most well regarded nightclub promoters and spends much of his time at Eve, which just happens to be Brynne’s favourite hang-out. She and a few close friends regularly hit the town.

“I’ve gotten to know enough people to choose carefully and I’m a good judge of character … so I have a really good, close-knit group of girlfriends,” she said.

Brynne revealed earlier this year that her marriage to Dr Geoffrey Edelsten was over after four years, although the couple still share an apartment and are going through lawyers to sort out a separation.

Terrorists claims responsibility for missing flight

The previously unheard of group sent an email to journalists across China on Sunday that read: “You kill one of our clan, we will kill 100 of you as pay back,” but the message provided no details of what brought the flight down.

Malaysia’s acting transport minister Datuk Seri Hishammuddin Hussein told reporters he doubted the claim’s legitimacy.

Related: Eight things that could have brought down flight 370

“There is no sound or credible grounds to justify their claims,” he said, according to Malaysian news reports.

Other officials said the claim could be a hoax aimed at increasing ethnic tensions between Uighurs and Han Chinese in the wake of the March 1 knife attacks in the southwestern city of Kunming that left 29 people dead and more than 100 others injured.

Officials say the message was delivered through an encrypted, anonymous Hushmail service that is virtually impossible to trace.

Investigators also said Monday that debris spotted from the air that was believed to be from the plane turned out to be unconnected to the aircraft.

They also said an oil slick discovered in the region was not connected to the flight.

While the exact reason for the plane’s disappearance on Saturday over the South China Sea, one of the safest and most flown routes in air travel, remains a mystery, investigators said the evidence so far “appears to indicate that the aircraft is likely to have disintegrated at around 35,000 feet,” Reuters reported.

While foul play is still only speculation some are drawing parallels to the vanishing Malaysian flight and the 1980s bombings of Pan Am Flight 103 over Lockerbie and Air India Flight 182 off the coast of Ireland.

Meanwhile, Hussein has confirmed that authorities have surveillance video of the two passengers who boarded the plane using stolen passports.

Reports are circulating that authorities have reviewed surveillance tapes of the plane’s boarding and are now saying the pair were not Asian, as they had originally indicated.

“We confirmed now they are not Asian-looking males,” said an official, adding that one of the men was black.

One of the mystery men had been identified, officials said, though they refused to release a name or nationality.
