Girl Spontaneously Bleeds Through Pores
My God this is horrific... How do you raise a child to deal with something like this?!
Doctors in India are baffled as to why a young girl spontaneously bleeds through her pores without being cut or scratched, the Telegraph reported Tuesday. Twinkle Dwivedi, 13, sometimes wakes up in the morning covered in dried blood that has seeped through her eyes, nose, hairline, neck and the soles of her feet.
She has undergone several transfusions, the newspaper said.Some in her village of Uttar Pradesh say she's cursed, and local schools have refused to teach her because of her condition. Her terrified family has sought help from numerous doctors as well as preachers, according to the Telegraph.
"We are not superstitious people but we became so desperate, her mother, Nandani Diwedi, told the Telegraph. "We've been to temples, mosques, churches and sufi saints, but nothing has cured her."
Indian doctors concluded Twinkle had an incurable clotting disorder, but a British specialist told the Telegraph that there may be hope with proper treatment. Whether that is possible is unclear, since the Dwivedi family is poor.

Michael Caine in protective custody to avoid Batman curse
Actor Michael Caine is in an undisclosed location in protective custody, fearing he will be the next victim of the so-called Batman curse. First there was the tragic death of Heath Ledger. Then Christian Bale was involved in an assault. That was followed by Morgan Freeman's car crash and divorce. And last night, Maggie Gyllenhaal was booked on "Last Call with Carson Daly."
Caine, who plays Alfred the Butler in "The Dark Knight" is taking no chances. A security team consisting of 50 people now have the actor in protective custody. Caine is reportedly encased in a bubble-like, bullet-proof device to keep him completely safe. Caine is hoping the curse will dissipate soon as he's already agreed to appear in 68 movies this year.

TEAIRRA MARI SPEAKS OUT ABOUT JAY-Z & MORE
In a recent interview with AllHipHop.com, former Princess of The Roc, Teairra Marí spoke out on the current status of her relationship with one-time mentor Jay-Z and the misdirection on her first LP:
AHHA: Is there still a relationship at all with Jay-Z?
Teairra Marí: There is no relationship there at all. I haven't heard from him since that time. I think I sent him a happy birthday message because his birthday is two days after mine, like two years ago and since then it's been nothing. And I don't want it to be – Actually, it's fine because I was a young girl. If you could come into a young girl’s life and then just throw her on the curb, you put this plumpher presence on and then be like, “I’m done with it.” I don’t want a relationship like that.
AHHA: With your first album, Roc-A-Fella Presents Teairra Mari, do you feel that project accurately depicted where you wanted you career to go and what you wanted your sound to be?
Teairra Marí: I was 17 and I had a parental advisory sticker on the album. I was totally against that. I was pre-instructed to do what I did. They wanted me to be that rebellious, young teenager. At the time I was going through a rebellious stage so I guess I could see it, but the curse words I didn’t totally understand it, like a cursing 17-year-old girl. I just did what I was told because I believed in those people.
