Back to the Bench for Kris! Kim's Had ENUFF!
Looks like there was no happily ever after for this “fairytale.” After just 72 days of marriage, Kim Kardashian has filed for divorce from Kris Humphries, according to court papers received by EW. (Ryan Seacrest, who serves as executive producer on Keeping Up with the Kardashians, confirmed the news via his Twitter feed earlier today: “Yes @kimkardashian is filing for divorce this morning. I touched base with her, getting a statement in just a few mins.”) The papers, filed Oct. 31, cite irreconcilable differences as to the reason for the split.

Bye Bye Cash/Credit... Hello Cell Phone??
On an unusually hot San Francisco morning in mid-September, a customer walked into a Peet’s Coffee location, bought a cup of brew and paid for it by waving their Samsung Nexus cellphone at a receiver, and became one of the first people to use a so-called mobile wallet in North America.
Such cellphone payments have been common in Japan, South America and Europe for years, but they're only just getting off the ground in Canada and the United States. Internet search giant Google launched Google Wallet last month and a crush of others are expected to follow.
The advent of the mobile wallet is made possible by the deployment of near-field communication, or NFC. It's a technology that lets devices exchange data when they're in close proximity, requiring far less power and time to configure than the Bluetooth protocol.
Google estimates half of all smartphones will have built-in NFC by 2014. Many devices already possess the chips, including Research in Motion’s BlackBerry Bold 9900 and Curve 9350 series, and the Samsung Nexus S 4G.
But mobile wallets are just one part of the explosive growth of mobile commerce. Besides online shopping, which has been around since the last millennium, customers are now also using smartphones to scan barcodes and comparison shop in-store, read product reviews, collect digital coupons and even transfer funds to settle bills in restaurants between friends.
Worldwide payments using mobile devices hit $170 billion in 2010 and are expected to reach $670 billion by 2015, according to telecom analysts Juniper Research. Of that, $100 billion is forecast to come from digital wallets — customers waving their cellphone at a payment terminal.
And though Google Wallet won’t have its trial run in Canada until early next year, Canadian retailers who put off exploring their mobile commerce options do so at their own risk, according to trend-watchers.
“Canadians have one of the highest latent demands for mobile wallets,” said Ron Caughlin, vice-president at the Canadian branch of global market-research firm TNS.
While only 11 per cent of Canadians are currently using mobile devices to make payments or do banking, 41 per cent want to, according to TNS’s 2011 Mobile Life study, which surveyed 1,000 people in Canada and 34,000 worldwide.
WOW CANADA IS AHEAD OF THE CURVE!!!!

Cyclops Shark Discovered!!!
In this world of Photoshop and online scams, it pays to have a hearty dose of skepticism at reports of something strange — including an albino fetal shark with one eye smack in the middle of its nose like a Cyclops.
But the Cyclops shark, sliced from the belly of a pregnant mamadusky shark caught by a commercial fisherman in the Gulf of California earlier this summer, is by all reports the real thing. Shark researchers have examined the preserved creature and found that its single eye is made of functional optical tissue, they said last week. It's unlikely, however, that the malformed creature would have survived outside the womb.
"This is extremely rare," shark expert Felipe Galvan Magana of Mexico's Centro Interdisciplinario de Ciencias del Mar told thePisces Fleet Sportfishing blog in July. "As far as I know, less than 50 examples of an abnormality like this have been recorded." [See photos of the one-eyed "Cyclops" shark]
Pisces Fleet, a sportfishing company, rocketed the Cyclops shark to viral status online this summer with their photos of the creepy-cute creature. But this isn't the first time that reports of a mythical-seeming creature have spurred media sensations — last week alone, Russian officials announced "proof" of a Yeti, and paleontologists spun a theory about an ancient Kraken-like squid. Few reports of mythical beasts, however, come with proof.
Cyclops shark
The Cyclops shark is an exception. While rare, "cyclopia" is a real developmental anomaly in which only one eye develops. Human fetuses are sometimes affected, as in a 1982 case in Israel reported in 1985 in the British Journal of Ophthalmology. In that case, a baby girl was born seven weeks early with no nose and only one eye in the center of her face. The infant, who lived only 30 minutes after birth, also had severe brain abnormalities.
In 2006, a kitten born with one eye and no nose (a rare condition called holoprosencephaly), created a stir online as news organizations and bloggers tried to determine if the bizarre photos of the animal were real. A veterinarian confirmed the kitten's condition; "Cy," as the cat was known, lived only a day. The remains were sold to the creationist Lost World Museum.
The fisherman who discovered the Cyclops shark is reportedly hanging on to the preserved remains, news outlets reported. But scientists have recently examined and X-rayed the fish, authenticating the catch. According to Seth Romans, a spokesman for Pisces Fleet, Galvan Magana and his colleagues will publish a scientific paper about the find within the next several weeks.
Romans told LiveScience that the fisherman who caught the strange shark is "amazed and fascinated" by the attention his catch has drawn.
It's not the first strange shark fetus Galvan Magana has found; he and his colleagues discovered two-headed shark embryos in two different female blue sharks. It's possible that one embryo started to split into twins, but failed to completely separate because of crowding in the womb, the researchers reported in January 2011 in the journal Marine Biodiversity Records.
'Family Feud' Swallow Question Makes Steve Harvey Fear Future Of Show (VIDEO)
"Magen, tell me something you put in your mouth but don't swallow." Before the question left "Family Feud" host Steve Harvey's lips, he knew he had stumbled into sticky territory.
After innocuously getting the answer "gum" during the initial round, Harvey walked over to the Forsythe team and posed the same question. But Magen, the girl he asked (and a pastor's wife to boot), gave him an incredulous look that summed up what most viewers were likely thinking (assuming that, like us, most viewers have the sense of humor of a 12-year-old boy).
Harvey immediately spirals into a half tirade/half lecture about how such a question -- and such an answer -- could potentially harm the squeaky-clean legacy that "Family Feud" has enjoyed for decades.
How does Magen eventually answer? Does she tiptoe around the question? Is "Family Feud" off the air after an advertiser revolt against swallowing? You may be surprised.

Man Loses Penis and Lawsuit!!
LOUISVILLE, Ky (KTLA) -- A man suing his doctors for amputating his penis without his consent will get no money in his lawsuit against the medical staff.
A jury today rejected Phillip Seaton's claim for $16 million in damages.
Seaton says he went into the hospital to have a circumcision in 2007 after doctors found cancer on his sex organs.
But when he woke up hours later, his penis was gone.
The lawsuit states doctors received consent to perform a circumcision and only a circumcision, and that Seaton never agreed to having his penis removed.
An attorney for urologist, Dr. John Patterson, says the doctor had to remove Seaton's penis after discovering cancer during the surgery.
Defense attorney Clay Robinson maintains the doctor "had no reasonable option" other than removing the cancer - and the penis.
And the jury agreed, finding that if the doctor had taken the time to consult with the couple, the cancer would have had more time to spread.
The couple has already reached an undisclosed settlement with Jewish Hospital, where the surgery was performed.
He's 60; She is 85 and Wealthy!
SEVILLE, Spain (AP) — A wealthy, 85-year-old Spanish duchess considered the world's most title-laden noble married a civil servant 25 years her junior on Wednesday, shrugging off her children's qualms and celebrating by kicking off her shoes and dancing flamenco.
A crowd of several hundred clapped and roared its approval as the Duchess of Alba waved, smiled and danced on a red carpet after her wedding to Alfonso Diez at Palacio de las Duenas, her 15th-century residence in the cobblestoned old quarter of Seville.
Diez stood close by in a dark suit, smiling and holding an outstretched arm at the ready, as if to catch his bride if she stumbled. The duchess hiked up her dress as she performed a few whirling steps of Spain's quintessential art form in the city perhaps best known for it.
With her frizzy white hair, squeaky voice and wildly colorful clothes, the duchess is among Spain's most famous people. Only a few dozen family members and close friends were invited to the ceremony.
The twice-widowed duchess wore a salmon, shin-length dress by Spanish designers Victorio y Lucchino on Tuesday.Her full name — take a deep breath — is Maria del Rosario Cayetana Alfonsa Victoria Eugenia Francisca Fitz-James Stuart y de Silva. She goes by simply Cayetana, and is a distant relative of Queen Elizabeth and Winston Churchill.
She and Diez, a social security administration employee, are old acquaintances through her second husband, who was a former Jesuit priest, and Diez's brother, an antiques dealer. They bumped into each other about three years ago outside a movie theater in Madrid and eventually started dating.
Her six children, all from her first marriage, reportedly balked when the idea of marriage emerged. In July of this year the duchess assigned them and her grandchildren juicy chunks of her vast estate, like mansions and palaces, in an effort to appease them and clear her way to the altar.
"I have been alone in this project, and got nothing but negative opinions until they realized what kind of man he is," the duchess told the Spanish news agency Efe this week in a rare interview.
Estimates of her wealth range from euro600 million ($800 million) to euro3.5 billion ($4.7 billion). Besides fabulous and historic real estate sprinkled around Spain, the family treasure boasts paintings by Goya and Velazquez, a first-edition copy of Cervantes "El Quixote", and letters written by Christopher Columbus.
However, although owned by the 500-year-old House of Alba, the artwork and some other property is classified as part of Spain's national heritage and cannot be sold without government permission.
Diez will be entering a new world, although he has reportedly signed a document renouncing any claim to the House of Alba wealth. As a civil servant in Madrid he earned euro1,500 ($2,000) a month. Now he will live in splendor as a duke, reportedly with plans to take a leave of absence from his day job, although the noble title will pass on to the duchess's eldest son, Carlos, when she dies.
Two of the children did not attend the wedding. Her only daughter, Eugenia, was reported to hospitalized in Madrid with chicken pox, while one of her sons, named Jacobo and reportedly unhappy with his slice of the family fortune — was said to be traveling outside Spain.
The matriarch's supreme title is Duchess of Alba, but she has more than 40 others — in fact, more than anyone else in the world, according to Guinness World Record.
