Some New Yorkers believe they saw Michael Jackson’s face inside a cloud formation, after a storm passed through the area last Friday. The sky was an unusual orange color and an image of a face can be seen.
Bubbles was born in a biomedical laboratory, but taken from his mother and sold to a Hollywood trainer while still an infant. He was purchased for Michael Jackson and soon gained fame as Jackson's pet chimpanzee. He appeared in television shows, movies, and music videos before he “retired” at age 6 or 7. When Bubbles was only 5, he toured Japan in a promotional tour with Michael Jackson. While there, he sat in on interviews with Jackson and "moonwalked" for the press. But, as he grew too strong to be around people, he lived most of his life at the trainer’s California animal compound in the company of an older chimpanzee named Sam. Both Bubbles and Sam arrived at the Center for Great Apes in March 2005 with a large group of chimpanzees, all from the entertainment world.
As a 170-pound adult male, Bubbles still lives with Sam (age 40) as well as five other chimpanzees at the sanctuary -- Oopsie, Boma, Jessie, Kodua, & little Bobby-Stryker.
Bubbles has a broad, handsome face and a lot of charisma. Though he is able to throw sand with amazing accuracy, he is extremely gentle with the youngsters, especially infant Stryker. In fact, the baby can often be seen riding around on Bubbles’ back.
Bubbles can be sensitive and dramatic. If he has any kind of cut or scratch on his body…no matter how small… he will show it many times during the day to his caregivers and ask for sympathy.
When Bubbles first arrived, he would not climb up to the top of his 35-foot tall habitat. He appeared to be nervous about the height and would sit on the ground and stare up at the others in his group while they played high up in the cupola. Then, one day after he had been at the sanctuary for about 5 months, he suddenly climbed up to the top and gave a loud chimp call. Now it’s one of his favorite places, and he goes to the top to play several times a day.
I’M 32-YEARS-OLD AND I HAVEN’T HAD MANY BOYFRIENDS – WHAT’S WRONG WITH ME?
“I am told I am attractive, I have a curvy figure, I am very intelligent and have a good, interesting job. I even like sports a lot. Men definitely seem to want to hook up with me a lot, but when it comes down to actually going out they turn off. Is there something that I am doing wrong? I have tried everything from acting keen, to acting detached but it always seems to happen the same. A guy who initially seemed to think I was really hot now wants nothing to do with me. And now that I am older I think my age is putting men off as well - too old! I haven’t had a boyfriend in about 6 years, and even then my longest relationship wasn’t past 1 year. In the past I was very shy but I am definitely more outgoing now, although I still have some shy moments. I even look young - I am told I look about 26. Just recently I hooked up with someone and I made him wait ages to sleep with me but then as soon as we did, same deal as always. Any ideas?”

HERE ARE THREE REASONS WHY YOU *SHOULDN'T* GET A BIKINI WAX:
#1.) We have hair down there for a REASON.
--According to a dermatologist named Linda Franks, it's because your down-there hair, quote, "protects the sensitive skin and mucus membranes in the genital region. Getting a wax literally strips away that layer of protection."
#2.) Waxing is kind of violent . . . and the process can tear your skin. That tearing creates tiny holes where bacteria can get in . . . and cause all kinds of problems.
#3.) Waxing causes inflammation . . . and inflammation can trap bacteria underneath the skin. That puts you at risk of developing all sorts of infections . . . some of which can even be FATAL.
