"Follow me on Twitter or I'll break my dog's neck": Obsessed One Direction fan.
A One Direction fan reportedly killed her pet Chihuahua in a fit of rage because the British boy band did not respond to requests to follow her on Twitter. The woman sent a desperate tweet to the five singers from her @illumivato account two weeks ago saying: 'Follow me or I'll break my dog's neck'. The post was accompanied by a picture showing someone pinning a dog to the ground by its throat.
But with millions of tweets being sent to their account everyday, the group very likely did not spot the message and it went ignored. Several days later, she wrote directly to band member Liam Payne on the social networking site to say: 'I love you. Follow me. My dog has just died.' She added a picture that she claimed showed her crying as she cradled a dead dog, it was reported by the New York Daily News.
Some believe her story is a hoax.
James Bond’s ‘Spy Who Loved me’ Submarine Car On sale In London
The white Lotus Esprit, which transformed into a submarine in
the 1977 movie starring Roger Moore as 007, was expected to sell for up
to 950,000 pounds ($1.48 million).
Known as “Wet Nellie” on the set of the film, the fully operational submarine car was among the contents of a storage unit in Long Island, New York, which was bought by a couple in a “blind” public auction in 1989.
Although six Esprit body shells were used in filming, only one was converted into a “submarine car,” RM Auctions said. The car was placed in a prepaid storage unit for 10 years after filming. The contents of storage unit were sold sight unseen in 1989 when rental payments for the unit fell into delinquency.

DMX explains his nakéd race.
"DMX running nakéd in a hotel" made headlines on many blogs two days back but none of them included the reason behind the wild race.
Anyways, DMX finally opened up to explain the race video and here;s his somewhat funny reason "I was at a hotel in Detroit with DJ nonstop and my road manager Montana before my performance with Eve and Lil Kim and we were bored so we dared each other to streak in the hallway. No one was aware that security cameras were rolling and it was just a playful dare between friends"
He forgot the part where he happily volunteered.
In case, you didn't watch the hilarious movie. Watch it below! LOL!
