The Last 10 Popes - Malachy's Prophecies

The Pope announced his resignation today. For those of you interested in stuff like this...read and be amazed! :-)
*Benedict XVI is the 111th pope in the prophecy of Saint Malachy. Petrus Romanus will be 112th**
Born in 1094 A.D. at Armagh, Ireland, Saint Malachy is also known as: Maolmhaodhog ua Morgair; Maol Maedoc; and Malachy O'Morgair. He died as he himself predicted, on November 2, 1148 at Clairvaux, France. Malachy was canonized the first Irish Saint in the Catholic Church by Pope Clement III in 1190 A.D.
In 1139 AD, a man named St. Malachy was given a prophetic vision. He saw all of the Catholic Popes that would come in the future. He wrote down a short description of each one. Throughout history, each one has been accurate. He foresaw 112 Popes until Jesus returned and that # 111 would see the beginning of the tribulation. The current Pope is # 111. Here's a link to the story and a reprint of the story as well:
It gets more interesting...:-)

Britney Spears ditches the Grammys, goes shopping instead

Britney Spears - steering clear of last night's Grammys - leaves a tanning salon in EncinoBritney Spears glammed down and hit the spa instead
There was one superstar missing from last night's Grammy Awards — she went shopping instead.

While the biggest stars in pop and rock were putting the finishing touches to their hair and make-up backstage at the Staples Center — eight-time nominee Britney Spears was 40 miles away at a suburban shopping mall.

Eight years after she scooped her only Grammy Award for Toxic — Brit chose to detox with some treatments at Forever Bella Skin and Tanning in Thousand Oaks, rather than mingle with the likes of Rihanna, Adele and her ex Justin Timberlake.
The 31-year-old was snapped strolling through the Village Glen mall dressed down in a pair of untrendy stonewash jeans and a lowcut tiger-stripe top — with heavy black make-up around her eyes.

She's reportedly in talks to perform a nightly show at a Las Vegas casino. Two Vegas hot spots are said to be tussling over the chance to secure a residency with the star - Caesar's Palace and Planet Hollywood.

If she signs on the dotted line, she'll earn millions, following in the footsteps of the likes of Celine Dion, Bette Midler and Elton John — who's in the middle of a residency at the gambling Mecca.

Culled from The Sun, UK.

From Vogue Magazine

Beyoncé cannot insulate herself from every crazy and idle rumor. When she encounters a story about herself on the Internet, she reads only the story. She stops there. She doesn’t let herself scroll down into the comments sections, which have a tendency to become cruel, ad hominem free-for-alls.
“Don’t scroll down!” Beyoncé advises, laughing. “You’re definitely going to get your feelings hurt.”

Gunmen kill 9 female health workers in Kano

Unknown gunmen suspected to be Boko Haram militants have killed nine female workers involved in polio vaccinations in two separate incidents in the city of Kano.

The gunmen riding on tricycles opened fire on health workers at Hotoro Haye and Shargalle Health Centre in the Kano metropolis as the health workers prepare their polio vaccination cocktails for the day.

Two women were felled by the militants bullets at Unguwa Uku while seven others died from the lethal attack on Shargalle Health Centre in attacks that took place thirty minutes apart.

Police spokesperson Musa Majia confirmed the attacks to journalists stating that the gunmen had fled the scene of the attack before security agents could reach the area.

Several Islamic clerics are opposed to polio vaccination claiming that it was a western scheme to limit Muslim population in Nigeria.
