Other Barretto Siblings take sides; Mom Inday calls Gretchen a liar!

Hmm this issue is getting hotter and juicier!

There's a raging war between Gretchen Barretto (with sister Marjorie) on one side and their mom Inday Barretto (and daughter Claudine) on the other side.


 
Like most celebrities, Gretchen loves to post on Instagram updates on what’s going on with her life, including photos of her branded personal items. Aside from commenting on Gretchen’s messages, an unidentified netizen put in an uncalled-for comment about Julia Barretto being “maarte.” Julia is the daughter of Marjorie and Dennis Padilla being built up by ABS-CBN as a possible heiress of Claudine’s “title” as a Kapamilya Teleserye Princess.
 

Gretchen must have suspected that the comment came from Claudine. What appeared next on Gretchen’s Instagram were questions about somebody (unnamed) being very violent, who had ruined her husband’s Porsche and laptop (that’s why he left her), adding that that somebody was better off in her favorite place, the Medical City.

The lavish lifestyle of a 6-year-old beauty pageant millionaire

I remembered Britney Spears singing "She's so lucky... she's a star..." It was really amazing how this little girl has gotten real fairytale in her hands... what a lucky kid :)

Former Toddlers and Tiaras star Isabella Barrett is a millionaire at the age of six, thanks to her impressive beauty pageant record, TV appearances, and her own jewellery and make-up line.

And the young entrepreneur has developed the lifestyle to go with her riches, telling the Daily Mirror all about her expensive taste in food, clothes and shoes.

'What’s not to like about being a millionaire?' she told the paper. 'I’m a superstar, I have my own jewellery line and I just love being the boss. I never lose at anything and almost every pageant I enter, I win. But what I love more than anything is shoes. I have over 60 pairs.'

Isabella's mom Susanna, 39, co-owns the jewellery business with her daughter and entered the girl in her first pageant.
 
She told the Mirror she doesn't want her daughter to 'grow up spoilt.' But Susanna added 'You see what happens to these child stars like Britney Spears and I certainly do not want that happening to my daughter. But she does like nice things, so we do treat her.'

BREAKING NEWS: Letter addressed to Obama ''has tested positive for deadly poison ricin - ONE day after substance found in parcel meant for Mississippi senator

A letter addressed to President Barack Obama has tested positive for traces of the deadly poison ricin, it was revealed today, making it the second poison-laced letter intended for high-ranking members of the U.S. government.

The Secret Service said that the letter contained a 'suspicious substance.'
A source told ABC News that another letter has shown traces of the substance only a day after authorities intercepted a letter addressed to Mississippi Republican Sen. Rocker Wicker.

The Capitol Police did not immediately return MailOnline's request for comment. It is unclear whether the two letters containing ricin are at all related.
A suspicious letter that tested positive for ricin, a substance that is fatal when ingested, was sent yesterday to Mississippi Republican’s offices in Washington. News of the package sent shock waves throughout Capitol Hill.

The FBI and Capitol Police have not yet released the identity of the suspect to the public, but Sen. Claire McCaskill, D-Missouri said today that the person in question ‘writes a lot of letters to (Congress) members.’

Both authorities declined to comment further on the situation.



The discovery of the ricin-laced letter put politicians on edge, as its delivery came only a day after Monday’s deadly bombings at the Boston Marathon.

The letter was believed to originate in Memphis, Tennessee, and it did not have a return address, according to initial reports.

The letter tested positive for ricin three times, but due to the frequency of false-positives on ricin tests, it will undergo further testing in a Baltimore lab.

In response to the ricin letter, the House and Senate have temporarily closed their post offices.

Who is North Korea's Kim Jong Un?


As North Korea tension intensifies dramatically, much attention is now focused on the country's leader Kim Jong Un, the third and youngest son of Kim Jong-il, the former dictatorial leader of North Korea. However, very little is known about the nation's young head of state.

Before Kim took over from his father, he had barely been seen in public. And even though he's been in charge for more than a year, there's been only few information about his personality and habits.

North Korean media calls Kim Jong Un "the greatest-ever commander." Dennis Rodman says he is "a normal guy."

But who is the real Kim Jong Un?



Here are top ten fun facts about North Korea's Leader:

1. His Date of Birth is a Mystery
Kim is believed to have been born in 1982, 1983 or 1984 as the child of former North Korean leader Kim Jong Il and his third wife, a dancer named Ko Young Hui. Kenji Fujimoto, a sushi chef who worked for his family until 2001 and later wrote a tell-all, claims he was born Jan. 8, 1983 — the same date as The King "Elvis Presley".

2. World's Youngest Head of State
Whether he was born in 1983 or 1984, Kim is currently the world's youngest head of state.
