Thank God I am with you - no one else would want you." Mel B gives detailed account of abusive marriage in a 20-page document and it's highly pathetic

If the account given by Mel B in this new document is true, then that means she went through hell and back again. The former Spice Girl submitted to the court a 20-page document detailing in her words all that she suffered during her 10-year marriage to Stephen Belafonte.

It's hard to believe that one person endured all that Mel did for ten good years. Her main reason for staying back is because he blackmailed her with sexually explicit videotapes, threatening to destroy her career and gain full custody of her children by releasing the videos if she tried to leave.

9 deaths and rare cancer associated with breast implants has been reported in the US

The US Food and Drug Administration confirms that Nine deaths have been reported stemming from a rare cancer that is associated with breast implants. The extremely rare cancer, called anaplastic large cell lymphoma (ALCL) affects cells in the immune system and can be found around the breast implant. It can be found in the skin or lymph nodes, and is not a type of breast cancer.

The FDA says "all of the information to date suggests that women with breast implants have a very low but increased risk of developing ALCL compared to women who do not have breast implants". Yesterday, the FDA issued an update on its understanding of breast implant-associated ALCL cases. The agency has received 359 reports of possible breast implant-associated cancer cases as of February 1.

But the exact number of cases "remains difficult to determine due to significant limitations in world-wide reporting and lack of global implant sales data,". Breast implants is the top cosmetic surgery performed in the US with 290,467 procedures in 2016.

Brussels plans to mark the anniversary of 2016 terror attacks with a 'minute of noise'

Belgium this week marks the first anniversary of the Brussels airport and metro bombings with ceremonies showing the heart of Europe is still beating despite the country's worst ever attacks.

Applause is set to ring out during a "minute of noise" on Wednesday as trains, trams and buses halt to remember the 32 people killed and more than 320 injured in the attacks claimed by the Islamic State (IS) group.

Belgium remains on high alert with troops patrolling the streets a year after the blasts, carried out by a network that investigators say was also behind the November 2015 Paris attacks.

"Our country is safer now," Interior Minister Jan Jambon told AFP in an interview, while warning that there was still a threat that battle-hardened jihadists fleeing the Islamic State's last stand in Syria could come home to Belgium.

The ceremonies start at Zaventem Airport where King Philippe and Queen Mathilde will lead victims, family members and rescuers in a service of remembrance for the 16 people killed there by suicide bombers Ibrahim El Bakraoui and Najim Laachraoui at 7:58 am on March 22, 2016.
