Formula One legend Michael Schumacher has been in an artificially induced coma since he fell and hit his head while skiing in French Alps on Sunday Dec. 29th. But according to new reports, he is 'responding to instructions' as doctors slowly bring him out of his coma.

Beyonce to be studied in the University

Queen Bee has joined other celebrities including Oprah and husband Jay Z, (who has a Georgetown University sociology course named after him), who are studied in the University. The course is called Politicizing Beyonce and can be taken at Rutgers University in New Jersey.

The University’s Department of Women’s and Gender Studies will be exploring the social & cultural significance of the songstress’s music and image.

The course will allow fans to explore Beyonce's alter ego Sasha Fierce, and debate the extent of control she has over her own image. They will also debate whether her red hot persona is an outlet of female sexual empowerment or merely complying with western gender stereotypes.

"This isn’t a course about Beyonce’s political engagement or how many times she performed during President Obama’s inauguration weekend. She certainly pushes boundaries. While other artists are simply releasing music, she’s creating a grand narrative around her life, her career, and her persona.’ Kevin Allred, the person in charge of the course at Rutgers University said

From a female LIB reader

"I have three sons but I want a daughter desperately. My husband always said he wanted only two children and after the birth of our second son, he warned me not to get pregnant again. But because I wanted a girl, I got pregnant again but had another son. I still want a girl and I'm ready to go through the birthing process again but my husband says the day I tell him I'm pregnant again, he would end the marriage and walk away. I don't know how serious he is with the threat but I'm afraid to test him. What should I do? I love my sons but I really want a daughter

From a male LIB reader...

I'm in a 3yr old marriage with a 2year old handsome son, I must say he looks like his gorgeous mum. I recently sent both of them to the UK on holiday but I wasn't comfortable with it as she insisted on staying with her "town girl" friend that doesn't have a job but she's relatively comfortable (raised eye brows) and she's never in a steady relationship, unfortunately my wife, most times looks up to her. When I complain about some of the revealing outfits my wife wears, she often says "Tope wore something similar and everyone loved it on instagram, no one said it was bad". She's always comparing her self to the likes of Tope, single girls that are some what wayward. You see, after child birth, I noticed that my wife's dressing changed for the worst, I could sense that she wanted to prove she was still hot. She gets a kick out of her friends calling her sexy mama and all sorts and I keep telling her she is married and she should tone it down especially to her place of work. Continue...

Latoya Ammons (pictured left) moved into a home with her mother and 3 children in Gary, Indiana in 2011 and started hearing footsteps in the basement. Over time, she and her children, aged 12, 9 and 8, became 'possessed'; their eyes would bulge, they'd shake and growl. A clairvoyant said the home was haunted by 200 demons. Sons were taken to hospital after one was inexplicably thrown in the house. While there a nurse and a CPS worker saw him walk backwards up a wall. Full story below..

It is a clear, calm voice – a whisper that cuts across the voices of the Indiana police officers recording proceedings.

‘Hey’ – a simple word rendered chilling because nobody present in the basement that day said it, much less heard it, at the time.

None of the police officers sent to investigate claims of supernatural occurrences, possession and paranormal activity at a modest rental home in Gary, Indiana in spring 2012 really believed this could be anything other than a hoax. None of them thought that they would be descending into ‘a portal to hell.’
