65-year-old woman who went to Mexico for skin-tightening surgery wakes up 'disfigured' with breast implants and a Brazilian butt lift she did not want

Image
  An American woman who went to Mexico for discount skin-tightening surgery has narrated how she woke up to find doctors had given her a boob job and a Brazilian butt lift.     The woman, named Kimberly McCormick, 65, returned to the Mexico Bariatric Center six years after undergoing successful weight-loss surgery at the clinic. But this time, she awoke from surgery with a breast augmentation and butt lift that she had not requested.   McCormick had returned to the Tijuana hospital to undergo several procedures to remove 90 inches of excess skin following her 150-pound weight loss.     The surgery cost just $13,000 in Mexico whereas they would have cost more than $50,000 in the U.S.   U.S. doctors now say it will cost McCormick a ballpark figure of $75,000 to undo the damage done in Mexico.      She recounted waking up in the hospital and realizing something was wrong as one of her lungs partially coll...

Image
Kris Jenner has recalled a time the entire passengers and crew on an plane discovered she had joined the mile high club.  The mile high club is a term used to describe a group of people who have had sex on an air plane while it's up in the air.  Kris explained that she and her then-husband Caitlyn Jenner ventured to the bathroom while they were up in the air.  For Cosmopolitan’s 50th anniversary issue, Kris shared some details on the embarrassing moment.  She told the publication: "The most embarrassing moment was when I was with [Caitlyn] on a commercial airliner in first class. We joined the Mile High Club and felt we got away with it, we had sex in the bathroom and we came out and nobody said anything.  "At the end of the flight, the flight attendant got on the microphone: ‘Congratulations [to the Jenners]. You’ve just joined the mile-high club. We’re so proud of you and we’ve decided to give you a bottle of champagne, yay!"  Kris said that she "c...

Judge rules rapper A$AP Rocky must stand trial on felony charges he fired gun at former friend

Image
  A Los Angeles judge has ruled that there is enough evidence A$AP Rocky must stand trial for allegations that he fired a gun at a former friend and collaborator outside a Hollywood hotel in 2021. Superior Court Judge M.L. Villar made the ruling at a preliminary hearing, after hearing roughly a day and a half of testimony. Rocky has pleaded not guilty to two felony counts of assault with a semiautomatic firearm. His attorney attempted to cast doubt on the case while questioning a police detective. Villar said “the totality of the video and testimony” shows there is sufficient evidence for the defendant to go to trial. She emphasized that preliminary hearings have a much lower evidence standard than a trial. “We’re not disappointed, not surprised, we expected to go to trial, we’ve been planning for trial all along,” Rocky’s attorney, Joe Tacopina, said outside court. “Rocky is going to be vindicated when all this is said and done, without question.” On the first day of t...

"First of all people don't know what to do with it and it's looking very scary.   "And then after that, it is just intelligence just sharing with you detail that one more group came to Ukraine to [attempt] this." Asked how many attempts there have been to assassinate him, he said: "I don't know, really I don't know. I think not less [than] five, six...not less.   "They will use an...
