A Man beheaded in broad day light in Woolwich, South London

A man, believed to be a serving soldier, was attacked and beheaded with a machete in broad day light this afternoon in Woolwich, South London by two men in what is suspected to be a terror attack.

The soldier was attacked with knives and meat cleavers following a car crash. Two black men in a blue Vauxhall car rammed into the soldier on John Wilson Street, then jumped out of their car and started attacking him with meat cleavers. An eye witness said the attackers were "chopping this guy to pieces, literally hacking at something like it was a piece of meat".

It is claimed that the men shouted 'Allahu Akbar', which means God is great in Arabic before attacking. After the attack, the men then waited for about 20 minutes for police to show up and then tried to attack the officers. They were shot by police. One (or both) of them is believed to be alive.

@Boya Dee witnessed the beheading and shared what he saw on his Twitter page.

Orlando Bloom's wife, Miranda Kerr accidentally bares her breasts on modelling shoot

Although an assistant rushed to cover up the Australian star, Miranda took a while to regain her modesty on the blustery shoot for Kora Cosmetics. Consequently, all eyes were on the model's cleavage as she rushed to finish up the photo-shoot...See full pic after the cut...

Brad Pitt bans sex scenes with other women for Angelina

According to an article in Esquire, Brad Pitt has placed a self-imposed ban on filming sex scenes with other women out of respect for his partner and mother of his six children, Angelina Jolie. So no other woman gets to kiss those lips and touch that body as long as he's with Angelina. How noble!

Brad 's friend told Esquire: 'This is a guy who has tried not to do any sexy scenes with other women since he's met Angelina. He's crazy about her, and she's the same way about him.'

I kind of understand his fear. Brad was married to Jennifer Aniston when he did Mr & Mrs Smith with Angelina Jolie. He admitted falling for her after their steamy love scene. By the time the movie wrapped, they were in love.

Isabella Ayuk addresses rumoured romance with Deputy Speaker

The 2012 Most Beautiful Girl in Nigeria wants you to know that it's false. The beauty queen was rumoured to be in a relationship with Deputy Speaker, House of Reps, Hon Emeka Ihedioha. Below is what she said in a recent interview:

"As an MBGN winner, there will always be stories about one thing or the other. It's a normal thing. The story is hilarious and not true. People should learn to get their facts right. These people actually do not have names or faces. At first, it was the story of how I lied about my age, then came the dethronement story. Now this! Where were these people when I went for MBGN twice and finished top 10 and won best traditional costume award? And in 2012, with determination and persistence, I won and people who were obviously not happy about my victory cooked up stories. I can't bother about what people say because some people are just on this earth to talk about others.
