An overweight prisoner wedges in wall during prison break

A Brazilian prisoner wedged in his getaway hole in a wall while he was trying to escape a jail in the Brazilian state of Goias late on Monday night (December 3, 2012). The tattooed and bald convict and his accomplice used a metal pipe ripped from a shower to smash a hole through the concrete wall to squeeze his way out. However, his attempt ended in humiliation because his belly stopped him making his break for freedom. The overweight inmate got stuck midway, half his body touching freedom, and his legs and middle stuck back in the prison. Firefighters were later called by guards to free the unnamed prisoner. "He has a very large physique and is also very tall," Lieutenant Tiago Costa of the local fire brigade said. "The other prisoners tried to push him but he stayed stuck in the wall. He started screaming in pain, and that was when the prison guards were alerted." The prisoner was then taken to hospital with a suspected broken rib under police protection.

Kristen Stewart wasn't looking for a relationship

It's true. Instead of a young guy like Robert Pattinson, she picked a guy who is married. Her romantic liaisons with director Sanders, which was reported with intimate photos on celebrity news outlets, shocked Twilight fans and put the trio in a publicly awkward situation. If you are a married man, you should take to your Twitter account and ask the Twilight actress for a date. Or maybe, you should add her as Friend on Facebook and hope she will let you kiss her body.

Ann Curry says goodbye to the Today show

Ann Curry, in an interview on Wednesday with USA Today, confirmed the news she will step down as co-host of NBC's "Today" show Thursday morning.

It's "going to be a bit of a tough day," the 55-year-old news anchor told USA TODAY in a 40-minute phone interview Wednesday, sounding as though she were fighting back tears. Speculation about Curry's departure has been building for months, especially since April, when ABC's show "Good Morning America" beat "Today" in total viewers for the first time in 16 years after nibbling away at "Today's" lead for nearly a year. However, Curry rejects the notion she's responsible for the ratings slip that threatens Today's long dominance on morning TV. Curry's new multi-year contract with NBC will see her leading a unit covering major news stories around the world, as well as filling in as an anchor on "Nightly News" when required, USA Today reported. Many media observers have said that Curry would be better out in the field as a reporter. Do you agree with them? Share with us your thoughts on Twitter and Google+ now.

Wow, Microsoft paid $1.2 billion for a Facebook-style social networking

Software giant Microsoft has agreed to acquire Yammer, a social network service for businesses, for US$1.2 billion in cash, a deal rumored to be in the works for the past week-and-a-half.

Yammer, which is four years old, allows companies to build their private social networks, where workers can chat, shares files and collaborate on projects, away from the prying eyes of outsiders. It has co-opted many of the basic concepts familiar through Facebook to create a more business-friendly social networking service. It can improve the way employees communicate and collaborate, leading to increased productivity and efficiency, by complementing traditional applications like instant messaging and email.

The area of internal networking for companies has attracted other big tech companies such as Cisco Systems Inc, which has a similar offering to Yammer called WebEx Social, and International Business Machine Corp with a rival product called Connections.

Demonstrators gathered outside the Supreme Court Monday

Thousands of demonstrators gathered outside the Supreme Court Monday to be seen and heard on the question of whether President Barack Obama’s overhaul of the nation’s health care system is constitutional. Republican presidential candidate Rick Santorum was among the crowd. Organizers from groups that favor the law staged a rally while a few stray opponents milled around in front of the Court. Meanwhile, Santorum pressed his own argument that he’s the best candidate - and rival Mitt Romney is the worst - to challenge Obama on the health care issue in the fall. Obama's health care reforms are the first major federal attempts to deal with health care and the uninsured in decades, but a majority of the public has never favored the law.

Oh my God, Google changes its privacy policies tomorrow

An alliance of European and US consumer advocacy groups made a last ditch appeal to Internet search and advertising giant Google today to delay changes to its privacy policies. Google says the changes will make it easier for consumers to understand how it collects personal information, and allow the company to create more helpful and compelling services. Critics, including most of the country's state attorneys general and a top regulator in Europe, argue that Google is trampling on people's privacy rights in its relentless drive to sell more ads. The new terms will allow Google to regroup data from several different services that were previously separate under a single comprehensive profile, giving it a more integrated view of its users, an advantage enjoyed by Apple and Facebook.

Sexy, Hot, Shirtless, What's else?

Hollywood celebrities always create fashionable trends in the world. They rarely go out without make-up or dress themselves in luxurious clothes. Besides, it's hardly ever to see those stars put on a dress twice or have fashion-off with others. I find that these days, we can easily catch the sight of their shirtless or sexy body such as Eddie Cibrian shirtless for Charisma Ad, bikini Miranda Kerr on Sydney vacation, shirtless Casper Smart and Jennifer Lopez on beach.

Surging online interest in Domnica Cemortan

Francesco Schettino , captain of the ill-fated Costa Concordia, may be the least popular man in Europe. However, he does have at least one fan. Domnica Cemortan (sometimes spelled "Dominica Cermotan") of Moldova is doing her best to defend Schettino's honor.

The 25-year-old gave an interview with Moldova's Jurnal TV. She claims Schettino "did a great thing, he saved over 3,000 lives" and that he stayed on deck until 11:50 p.m., an assertion that contradicts other reports. The ship sank on Jan. 14. Eleven people have been confirmed dead; 21 more are missing.

Cemortan has worked on cruise ships, but she claims, according to ABC News , to have been onboard the Costa Concordia as a passenger. The trip, she has said, was a birthday present.
