Elephant Man A Deadbeat Dad

Mavado is not the only dancehall celebrity to be accused of being a deadbeat dad. Elephant Man is also under fire from one of his daughters for being less than a father to her.

The female, who is allegedly the daughter of “Pon Di River” deejay, wrote a message on Facebook on Father’s Day and tagged the dancehall star.

Saying he should feel really horrible.

Elephant Man has not responded to the accusations but let’s not forget that he has over 30 kids across Jamaica and possibly another dozen overseas.

Imagine what his child support bill would look like.

Health warning issued over the wearing of skinny jeans

Doctors have warned that skinny jeans can cause serious muscle and nerve damage to wearers’ legs.

In the Journal of Neurology, Neurosurgery and Psychiatry, medics described a case in which a 35-year-old woman had to be cut out of a pair after her calves swelled in size.

The woman, who has not been named, experienced difficulty walking and lost sensation in her legs after having spent several hours squatting as she helped a family member move house in Australia.

Doctors believe the woman developed a painful and potentially serious condition called compartment syndrome which is caused by bleeding or swelling within an enclosed bundle of muscles- in this case, the calves.

Other medics have reported a number of cases where patients have developed tingly, numb thighs from wearing the figure-hugging low-cut denim trousers, although the chance of it happening is still slim for most people.

Death toll from Pakistan heatwave nears 700

Nearly 700 people have died from a three-day heatwave in southern Pakistan, as medics battled to treat victims after a state of emergency was declared in hospitals.

The majority of the deaths occurred in the port city of Karachi, where Pakistan’s Meteorological Office said temperatures remained at around 44.5 Degrees Celsius yesterday.

The deaths came as the overwhelmingly Muslim country observes the Islamic holy month of Ramadan, during which eating and drinking is forbidden from sunrise to sunset.

Officials have been criticized for not doing enough to tackle the crisis.
