An American woman, Deborah Giannecchini on Thursday was awarded more than $70 million in her lawsuit after claiming that Johnson & Johnson’s baby powder contributed to her cancer.

The trial which began in Sept 26 after she was diagnosed with ovarian cancer in 2012, saw the Jury at the St. Louis Circuit Court accuse the firm of ‘negligent conduct’ for failing to warn the public of the ovarian cancer risk associated with its product.

‘We deeply sympathize with the women and families impacted by ovarian cancer, we will appeal today's verdict because we are guided by the science, which supports the safety of Johnson's Baby Powder.

Hillary Clinton finally admits she draws fashion inspiration from Death Row Records

With All Eyez on Hillary Clinton, the Democratic contender admitted at last totaking sartorial cues from legendary rap label Death Row Records.

“I think Death Row and a lot of other fashion sources have influenced my look, don’t you?” Clinton quipped on Wednesday, prompted by hosts of the Breakfast Club on Power 105.1.

A viral meme posted after the third and final presidential debate had compared images from each of Clinton’s debate outfits — ranging from red to blue to white — with similar getups donned by record label co-founder Suge Knight and its artists Tupac and Snoop Dogg.

“We gone sit here and act like Hillary Clinton ain't been representing Death Row Records at all 3 debates?” queried Twitter user @double_cupp_me.

Man Who Destroyed Donald Trump's Hollywood Walk Of Fame Star Arrested — Turns Out He's A MILLIONAIRE!

The hammer of the law is coming down on the man who destroyed Donald Trump's Hollywood Walk of Fame star.

Early on Thursday, LAPD tracked down James Otis in West Hollywood as he was leaving a home and arrested him for felony vandalism.

The activist told press he took a sledgehammer and a pickax to Trump's plaquebecause he was furious over the near dozen sexual assault allegations that have come out against the Republican nominee.

Heir to the Otis Elevator Company fortune and apparently worth millions, Otis had reportedly planned to hold a press conference before turning himself in, but was arrested by police before he had the chance.

No ten minutes of fame for you, James!

The elevator heir was reportedly cooperative with police and had previously stated he "wasn't afraid" of Trump, or being taken to court for that matter — which is a good thing, since he could face three years in prison and a $10,000 fine if convicted.

The Mercedes-Benz pick-up truck is here — and it's called the X-Class

Mercedes-Benz

On Tuesday, Mercedes-Benz gave the public their first look at the company's upcoming pickup truck in the form of the new X-Class Concept. According to Mercedes-Benz, the new X-Class will be the world's first true "premium" pickup truck.

Introduced in a ceremony in Stockholm, the new X-Class marks Mercedes' official entry into what is perhaps the most competitive, territorial, and lucrative segment in the automotive market.

"With the Mercedes-Benz pickup, we will close one of the last gaps in our portfolio," Daimler chairman and head of Mercedes-Benz Dr Dieter Zetsche said in a statement. "Our target: we want to offer customers vehicles matching their specific needs. The X-Class will set new standards in a growing segment."

In the US, the midsize pickup segment, where the X-Class will compete, is growing at more than 20% a year. At the same time, the midsize pickup also dominate in Argentina, Australia, and Brazil. Unfortunately, Mercedes-Benz does not plan to offer the X-Class for sale in the US when it enters production late next year. Or perhaps fortunately for Mercedes, as the US pickup market is dominated by the Detroit Big Three. 

Instead, Mercedes is expected to offer the X-Class in Europe, Latin America, South America, and Africa. No official pricing information for the X-Class has been released. 

Here's a closer look at the Mercedes-Benz X-Class pickup.On Tuesday, Mercedes' Van division debuted two versions of the Concept X-Class.

'Fascination with sex': Megyn Kelly and Newt Gingrich in angry clash over Trump coverage

In an aggressive exchange on Fox News, the former House speaker Newt Gingrichaccused conservative TV host Megyn Kelly of bias against Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump as well as a “fascination with sex”.

The row on Tuesday night between Kelly and one of Trump’s most stalwart supporters began when the host brought up the multiple sexual assault and misconduct allegations against the candidate.

During the ensuing debate, which bordered on personal attacks, Gingrich said the host was “fascinated with sex” and Kelly urged him to “take your anger issues and spend some time working on them”.

Dan Scavino, Trump’s director of social media, later responded on Twitter, saying Kelly had “made a total fool out of herself” and warning: “Watch what happens to her after this election is over.”

The tiff marked the latest chapter in the back and forth between Kelly and the Trump campaign. It started in August 2015 when Trump suggested tough questioning from the Fox News host in the first debate of the Republican presidential primary was because she was menstruating. She “had blood coming out of her eyes, blood coming out of her wherever”, Trump said on CNN.

José Mourinho: My Manchester life is a disaster

Under-pressure José Mourinho has labelled his current setup a “disaster” as he prepares for the Manchester derby.

The United manager, who watched on as his side were hammered 4-0 at Chelsea on Sunday, is living in the top-floor suite of Manchester’s Lowry Hotel with his family still in London.

And the Special One hinted at his unhappiness during an interview with Sky Sports. Mourinho, before Wednesday’s EFL Cup fourth-round tie with City at Old Trafford, said: “For me it’s a bit of a disaster because I want sometimes to walk a little bit and I can’t. I just want to cross the bridge and go for a restaurant. I can’t, so it is really bad. Buy a house? I do not know, I do not know. The reality is that my daughter will be 20 next week, my son will be 17 in a couple of months.

Drake Dissed Kid Cudi and People Are Not Happy

Drake's 30th birthday is today, and to celebrate he released four new songs on OVO Radio. In one of those songs, "Two Birds, One Stone," Drake takes a jab at Kid Cudi.

"You were the man on the moon / Now you just go through your phases / Life of the angry and famous."

The two have recently traded shots at one another, but now with Cudi checking himself into rehab for depression and suicidal urges, Drake's latest attack rubbed a lot of people the wrong way.

It's unclear if Drake's shot actually had anything to do with Cudi's recent note about his struggle with depression, but the timing of it has a lot of people thinking Drake crossed a line. Mental illness is a serious issue that is often overlooked in music, and it looks like the general consensus is that now is not the time to be stirring up a rap beef with a person dealing with bigger problems. See some reactions below.

This Hawaiian Mushroom Makes Women Orgasm Just By Smelling It

I have good news and bad news. Let's start with the good news:

Scientists have discovered an orange mushroom in recent Hawaiian lava flows that can induce instantaneous orgasms in women just from the odor it gives off. That's right, fellas. You can get your girl to bust nuts all over the place just by having her sniff this thing.

This orgasm triggered by fungus, or "fungasm," is due in part from hormones in the mushroom that are close in similarity to the same ones picked up by our own neurotransmitters. Basically, the smell of this shroom makes the female body think it's having sex. Imagine walking into a sorority house with your pockets filled with these mushrooms.
