Rapper and "Beauty Shop" star Queen Latifah describes her worst haircut ever to E! Online:
"The lady kind of chopped my hair off, trying to cut some of my straight perm out. It was just miserable. And it was freshman year in high school, worst time for it to happen."
The San Diego Wild Animal Park named a 3-month-old white rhino "Ecko" after the apparel line Ecko Unlimited. Designer Mark Ecko donated $150,000 to the International Rhino Foundation's project, which works to keep endangered Indian rhinos safe from poaching. ]]>

While there's no maternity wear on Britney Spears' web site yet (she finally announced her pregnancy on her site today), there are some comfy yoga pants, with Britney logo, that will make the wearer "the envy of your yoga class." Nice to have a little jealousy with your asanas.]]>
