BLACK MAMBA SNAKE

The black mamba (Dendroaspis polylepis), also called the common black mamba or black-mouthed mamba,is the longest venomous snake in Africa, averaging around 2.5 to 3.2 meters (8.2 to 10 ft) in length, and sometimes growing to lengths of 4.45 meters (14.6 ft).Its name is derived from the black colouration inside the mouth rather than the actual colour of its scales which varies from dull yellowish-green to a gun-metal grey. It is the fastest snake in the world, capable of moving at 4.32 to 5.4 metres per second (16–20 km/h, 10–12 mph).It's also a very "notorious" snake that's feared throughout the world and it generally has a very bad reputation for being very aggressive, explosive, and highly venomous, and many snake experts have cited this species as both the world's deadliest and most aggressive species, noting tendency to actively attack without provocation (B. Johnson, July 13, 2000; Hunter, 1998).One expert even calls this species "death incarnate".Although they are among the world's ten most venomous land snakes, and when threatened or cornered they do often become very explosive[6] and fiercely aggressive, they are still often given mythical status and many myths, legends, and stories about this species still abound.

Simply Gorgeous

Though she was a terrific actress who aspired to be more than just a pretty face, the screen legend was, in fact, one of the screen's great beauties.

Bruce Lee.

The martial artist's sudden death on July 20, 1973, was not going to be easy to explain. Lee was, after all, so fit, so vital and so young—just 32. Any number of theories abounded, including marijuana-induced brain swelling. Following an inquest, coroner officials in Hong Kong settled on death by "misadventure," meaning accident and/or a possible bad reaction to headache medicine. The official story did not quell talk of everything from a conspiracy to a curse.

"Sparks Fly"

It's a good thing Taylor Swift doesn't mind being called a role model. But we don't think it's just impressionable young girls who should be looking up to the superstar country crossover—her fellow artists might want to take a page or two from the ol' Swift book, as well.

Lesson No. 1: how to put on a show.

E! News has obtained an exclusive full performance clip of "Sparks Fly" from the teen dream's forthcoming concert DVD, Speak Now World Tour—Live, out next Tuesday, and let's just say, it's pretty clear that this girl isn't just showing the world she's on top of her game. She's telling the world, game on.

Sure, she may be a country girl at heart, but she's pulling moves worthy of any rock goddess. So go ahead and watch. We dare you not to sing along. Or at the very least, feel 16 again.

Demi Moore Get From.......

Remember when Demi Moore made headlines with her then-record $12 million payday for Striptease?

Well, that was 15 years ago.

Ashton Kutcher's career, meanwhile, took off about two years after that when he was cast on That '70s Show—and he's been making bank ever since from movies, TV residuals, his production company, etc. And that was before he became the highest paid sitcom star overnight when he landed Two and a Half Men.

So that means...Demi wins?!

"We all know that during their marriage, he probably made lots more money than her, and if there is no prenup, she is entitled to 50 percent of whatever he accumulated during marriage," certified family law specialist Lisa Helfend Meyer tells E! News.
Though she filed for divorce from Bruce Willis in Idaho, where they had a home, Moore will almost certainly file for divorce in California, a no-fault state where the divorce process can be completed in six months and the spousal support laws are more liberal.

"Under California law, whatever you acquire together, whether it is a dollar or a hundred million dollars, you split it in half," Meyer says.

Not that Moore isn't making any money on her own. A Forbes analyst put her 2011 earnings in the $5 million range. But Kutcher has made an estimated $7 million from Two and a Half Men alone this year, not counting all the other pots he has a spoon in.

"When she was married to Bruce, she was at the height of her career making around $20 million a picture, and when she was married to Ashton it was the exact opposite," says Meyer, adding that California has the "highest support orders in the world."

"You are roughly going to pay 30 to 40 percent of your income toward spousal support," she notes. "Assuming he makes $10 million a year, that is a lot of money."

And assuming Moore and Kutcher didn't sign a prenuptial agreement when they tied the knot in 2005, which isn't an assumption that anyone's making at this time.

Meanwhile, Meyer doesn't expect a drawn-out, public court battle.

If he were smart, I think he would want to do this quietly," she says of Kutcher. "He doesn't want everything that he has [allegedly] done to be disclosed in the media. Given the fact that he is on Two and Half Men and that Charlie Sheen preceded him, I don't think he will want to sully his reputation. He has endorsement contracts with places like Nikon. I think he is going to do this as quietly as he can."

And as quick as they can, too.

"He's not going to want to write monthly checks," Meyer suspects. "He will probably just say, 'Here is $50 million' and let's call it a day.'"

Moore announced yesterday that she planned to end her marriage after six years "with great sadness and a heavy heart."
