Luego de la nevada que cayó sobre La Gran Manzana el fin de semana, el puertorriqueño no quiso quedarse encerrado en su casa de Manhattan y, dándoselas de valiente, decidió dar un paseo con sus dos hijos y su novio, Carlos González, al zoológico de El Bronx y por poco y se engarrota. El artista pensó que estaba en verano y canasta en mano se fue a ver animales al condado de la salsa, y él mismo confesó que era tanto el frío que hacía en la ciudad, que tuvieron que regresarse a casa antes de lo esperado, pues ni gorros, bufandas y chaquetas lograron mantenerlos calientitos. “Otro gran día en NYC. Fuimos al zoológico y nos congelamos”, escribió Martin con su habitual sentido del humor, en su cuenta Twitter. Pero como el cantante es un hombre positivo y vive en un lujoso apartamento con muchas comodidades, luego de su fría experiencia encontró la manera de tener una mejor temperatura y se puso a estudiar los libretos del musical, mientras su pareja se hacía cargo de los pequeños.  TVyNovelas

Aunque Paulina  Rubio ha querido salir de sus problemas, la cantante mexicana continúa con su mala racha en el nuevo año. Ahora no sólo se encuentra lidiando con sus pleitos judiciales, sino también, además de estar pasando por un mal momento en medio de rumores de infidelidad de su esposo, Nicolás Vallejo Nájera, TVyNovelas.com se enteró que La Chica Dorada tiene una gran deuda con el Tío Sam. De acuerdo con un documento del Servicio de Rentas Internas (IRS) y que localizó en una investigación TVyNovelas.com, la artista no ha pagado sus impuestos correspondientes al 2010-2011. Según consta en los récords públicos de la ciudad de Miami, Florida, la intérprete debe 132 mil 641 dólares con 71 centavos, los cuales tenía que haber pagado en abril del 2011, según constató TVyNovelas.com, tal como lo hacen todos los que trabajan y viven en los Estados Unidos, Cabe recordar que cuando los contribuyentes no cumplen con sus obligaciones tributarias, corren el riesgo de que les congelen sus cuentas bancarias y embarguen también sus propiedades. Por el momento, el IRS le ha fijado hasta junio del 2012 como tiempo límite para cancelar su deuda; de no hacerlo, los intereses irán subiendo periódicamente, aumentando más el cuantioso adeudo. Dicha deuda, además, podría afectar el crédito de la intérprete, ya que esta cuenta sin saldar aparece automáticamente cada vez que verifican su capacidad crediticia, en caso de que quiera adquirir algo.

The sun is bombarding Earth with radiation from the biggest solar storm in more than six years with more to come from the fast-moving eruption. The solar flare occurred at about 11 p.m. EST Sunday and will hit Earth with three different effects at three different times. The biggest issue is radiation, according to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s Space Weather Prediction Center in Colorado. The radiation is mostly a concern for satellite disruptions and astronauts in space. It can cause communication problems for polar-traveling airplanes, said space weather center physicist Doug Biesecker.  A few airline flights over the north pole have already been rerouted and some other flights at high latitudes are flying at lower altitudes. Radiation from Sunday’s flare arrived at Earth an hour later and will likely continue through Wednesday. Levels are considered strong but other storms have been more severe. There are two higher levels of radiation on NOAA’s storm scale — severe and extreme — Biesecker said. Still, this storm is the strongest for radiation since May 2005. The radiation, in the form of protons, came flying out of the sun at 93 million miles per hour. Local 10

American funeral directors have unveiled the first ‘iGrave.’ It uses GPS satellite tracking to allow relatives to find their loved ones in a natural burial site. Everyone buried at The Preserve, a 1.5-acre natural burial site in Lafayette, Indiana, receives a GPS transmitter disk in the center of their casket, or in the grave if there is no casket. The battery powered devices last for several years, and are roughly the size of a hockey puck. They are based on systems usually used to locate buried water pipes or gas mains.The high tech burials are designed to allow staff and family members to find their loved ones exact location in a burial ground where graves are not marked. Staff and family will be given special readers to direct them to the correct area. “It’s like reading a bar code,” said Joe Canaday of Hippensteel Funeral Service and Crematory. People who are cremated also receive a GPS transmitter. The GPS locator can read up to 5 feet deep, and staff expect to have to use it when the graves become covered with grass and plants in the natural burial ground. Natural burial grounds around the world have previously given mourners the GPS co-ordinates of their loved ones.

Dropping off to sleep straight after sex is a sign that you and your partner are truly in love, a new study has shown. Research by evolutionary psychologists at the University of Michigan and Albright College in Pennsylvania, found the tendency to fall asleep first after sex is associated with greater partner desire for bonding and affection. Daniel Kruger, a research fellow at the University of Michigan, and lead author of the study, said: ‘The more one’s partner was likely to fall asleep after sex, the stronger the desire for bonding.’The study was published in the Journal of Social, Evolutionary, and Cultural Psychology.

A woman who refused to leave her toilet for two-and-a-half years has spoken about why she refused to leave. Mee Yan Leong sat down on the bowl in her bathroom on March 25, 2009 and for the next 902 days, that is where she decided to eat and sleep. The 58-year-old claimed she ‘felt a force holding me down’ and said she did not understand why she felt compelled to stay in the tiled bathroom. She was completely naked throughout the ordeal and only showered a total of 18 times, according to her husband Kian Ann Ong. He said those were the only times she left the toilet bowl and would imagine that if she left people would throw stones at her or spray her with water. Mr Ong said he was the only person who had contact with his wife and she even refused to speak with their 27-year-old son Jiing Yih. Eventually Mr Ong decided to seek help and called the emergency services who took her to hospital near their home in Singapore. ‘They had to come into my flat, hold her down, then wrap her in a towel before using a wheelchair to take her to the hospital,’ said Mr Ong. He explained that whenever he tried to remove his wife from the bathroom, she would refuse and tell him that something was holding her back.

Heidi Klum and Seal have confirmed the end of their seven-year marriage in a joint statement. Reports emerged on Saturday that the pair were to divorce amid claims the supermodel was fed up with her husband’s ‘hard partying’. However, in an official statement this morning, the couple blamed their split on ‘growing apart’. The statement read: ‘While we have enjoyed seven very loving, loyal and happy years of marriage, after much soul-searching we have decided to separate. ‘We have had the deepest respect for one another throughout our relationship and continue to love each other very much, but we have grown apart.’This is an amicable process and protecting the well-being of our children remains our top priority, especially during this time of transition.’We thank our family, friends, and fans for their kind words of support. And for our children’s sake, we appreciate you respecting our privacy.’

A group of scientists are making sure that the King of Pop’s name goes down as in prehistoric significance as well. A new-found species of ancient hermit crabs was recently named after the singer, not because it had a particularly unusual Moondance-like walking style, but because it was discovered on the day that he died. There is now a type of crab named Mesoparapylocheles michaeljacksoni, insuring that the singer will not just be examined for his dance moves. The now-famous crab was discovered by a group of international scientists on June 25, 2009- the day when Jackson died.
