| Now, 'boob job' gel that can increase your bust size by half a cup! Posted: A 100ml tube of cream dubbed the 'boob job in a bottle', that claims to increase a woman's bust size by half a cup could well be the end of push-up bras, padding and expensive silicone implants. Manufacturers Rodial claim that rubbing the gel on the chest every day for less than two months will firm up a woman's bust and increase it up to two-and-a-half centimetres while skin will be less wrinkled, reports the Daily Mail. On sale in John Lewis, the 125-pound tube 125 contains natural chemicals, which supposedly increase the number of fat cells in the breast. Scarlett Johansson, Victoria Beckham and Kelly Brook are some of the celebrities who are said to have used it. However, some experts have rubbished the claims, and others have even labelled it 'potentially dangerous'. "The manufacturers are not giving us any information on tests they have carried out. They are not telling us the exact ingredients in the product and how they increase the size of the breast," said Dalia Nield, a consultant plastic surgeon at the London Clinic. "It may even harm the skin and the breasts - we need a full analysis," she added. But a spokesman for Rodial doesn't agree. Rodial believes the product is set to revolutionize thousands of women's lives.

| Posted: US sergeant who allegedly murdered Afghan civilians for sport kept count by inking his body with several skull-shaped tattoos When US Army investigators tried to interrogate Staff Sergeant Calvin Gibbs in May about the suspected murders of three Afghan civilians, he declined to answer questions. But as he was being fingerprinted, Sergeant Gibbs lifted up his pant leg to reveal a tattoo. Remembrance On his left calf was a picture of a crossed pair of pistols, framed by six skulls. The tattoo was "his way of keeping count of the kills he had", a special agent for the army's Criminal Investigations Command said in a report. Three of the skulls, coloured red, represented kills in Iraq, Sergeant Gibbs told the agent; the others, in blue, were from Afghanistan. Sergeant Gibbs said he acted in self-defence each time, but army officials have charged him with conspiring with other soldiers from the 5th Stryker Combat Brigade of the 2nd Infantry Division to murder three unarmed Afghans, allegedly for sport, and dismembering and photographing the corpses. In addition to Sergeant Gibbs (25), the army has charged four other soldiers with involvement in the killings, which occurred between January and May in Kandahar province. Gibbs served two tours of duty in Afghanistan and one in Iraq. In particular, the army is re-examining a 2004 incident in which Sergeant Gibbs and other soldiers are alleged to have fired on an unarmed Iraqi family riding in a car, killing two adults and a child. Several soldiers who served with Sergeant Gibbs in Afghanistan told investigators he repeatedly tried to persuade other soldiers to carve fingers off Afghan corpses and that he kept at least two fingers for himself, which he hid in an empty water bottle. Finger necklace They said he would display the digits when he wanted to intimidate other unit members into maintaining their silence; one soldier said Sergeant Gibbs claimed he was collecting the fingers to make a necklace. According to a statement to investigators by Corporal Emmit Quintal, a member of Sergeant Gibbs's unit, the sergeant and another soldier once sliced a finger off the corpse of a suspected insurgent, and Sergeant Gibbs kept it. According to a statement from Sergeant Skinner, Sergeant Gibbs asked him whether he wanted to cut a finger from the corpse. When a shocked Sergeant Skinner asked why, Sergeant Gibbs replied, "Because it would be fun messing with people, like sticking a finger on a care package." Tainted sarge Sergeant Gibbs traded "porn in exchange for AK-47s, RPG rounds [and] mortars." There were also reports that he kept Russian grenades and AK-47 ammunition in a storage bin inside the unit's Stryker vehicle in case they needed false evidence to plant.
