massy at Dolce&Gabbana fashion showThere were gasps at the Dolce & Gabbana catwalk show at Milan Fashion Week today when a streaker leapt onto the catwalk and ran up and down in full view of the city’s fashion royalty.

Stars including Barcelona striker Lionel Messi could only watch as the man, whose identity is not yet known, paraded himself up and down the runway with all his assets on show.

The designers had been showcasing creations from their Spring/Summer 2014 Men’s collection when the man invaded the spotlight and disrobed entirely but for a pair of red trainers.

He pulled a succession of bizarre, gurn-like expressions as he skipped back and forth along the catwalk attempting to avoid the venue’s security guards.

Even after he was tackled to his knees by a bouncer he lifted one arm in the air in triumph and continued to yell into the audience.

The slender, white man was eventually led out of the show by a team of security guards, but the unwanted interruption marks what Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana may hope will be the end of a bad week.

The fashion duo were earlier this week handed 20 months in prison each – prompting quips that black and white stries could be huge on the catwalks next season.

gym in ChinaChinese students have been forced to sleep in a university gym to escape a searing 38C heatwave.

The sports hall at the Central China Normal University in Wuhan is one of the only air-conditioned buildings on campus and has been converted into a temporary dorm.

Hundreds of students have been sleeping on woven rush mats on the floor since the heatwave began on Thursday. Some have brought home comforts with them, including duvets, blankets and soft toys.

For entertainment in the evenings the students have been playing cards together or using their mobile phones. Boys and girls have been separated by a barrier down the middle of the hall.

Wuhan, in Hubei Province in central China, is known as one of the country’s ‘four stoves’ because of its hot, humid summers.

Although temperatures average around 27C to 30C in July, its hottest month, the city heats up to over 35C (95F) on at least 20 days a year.

 

Michael Jackson may have been the only person in the world to go for SIXTY DAYS without proper sleep, Harvard expert tells wrongful death trial

charlz czeislerMichael Jackson went for 60 days without sleep, making him the only person ever to have done so, a sleep expert has claimed.

Charles Czeisler, a Harvard Medical School sleep expert, said he has never heard of any person who has gone 60 days with Rapid Eye Movement (REM) sleep as he testified at the wrongful death trial of concert promoter AEG LIve.

As reported by CNN, the jury was told by Dr Czeisler that the 60 nights of propofol infusions which Dr Murray said he gave Jackson to treat insomnia has never before been undertaken.

Dr Czeisler, a sleep consultant to NASA and the CIA, told the jury that the drug does not offer REM sleep and disrupts the normal sleep cycle.

But it leaves those who take it refreshed and feeling as though they have had a proper night’s sleep.

The jury was told that rats tested by scientists died after five weeks of no REM sleep.

People who are deprived of REM sleep for long periods become depressed, paranoid and anxious. They also lose their balance and appetite, and can have slower physical and emotional reactions.

These are symptoms which Jackson was said to be suffering from in his final weeks. His show’s producers reported that he became thinner, paranoid and forgetful, and was heard talking to himself.
