theurgy: the working of a divine or supernatural agency in human affairs.

Meet the perfectly preened male model set to give the man ‘too handsome for Facebook’ a run for his money.

After the chiselled jaw and starry eyes of Dubai actor and photographer Omar Bourkan Al Gala caused a stir last month, student Ahmed Angel is threatening to steal his thunder.

Described as ‘the most delightfully narcissistic man on Facebook’, the Iraqi-born ‘angel’ has been popping up all over the internet in recent weeks, winning an army of fans (and haters) along the way.

With a penchant for tank tops, acid-washed jeans and ‘guyliner’, Angel appears to be a complete natural in front of the camera as evident in the hundreds of snaps he has posted online.

Ahmed Angel told the International Business Times that he is 18-years-old, from Iraq and studies medicine in Belarus.

"The most important thing in my life is to study medicine!!!" he said. "And I'm not a model but I'm Top Model !!!" Angel added that he has received "many international contracts to work in cinema and art" as well as fashion agencies but has put his modeling career on the shelf for now.

"I'm busy my studies [sic] so I decided to postpone these offers to another time," he writes.

It's not uncommon. Small town girl becomes famous. Small town girl gets sucked into Hollywood's beauty standards. Small town girl gets plastic surgery to conform to those said standards. But Taylor Swift?!



There's a rumor going around that the singer got breast implants, spurred by her appearance at the People's Choice Awards. The star looked curvier than usual at the Jan. 9 event in a low-cut white Ralph Lauren gown. She also showed some curves at the Golden Globe Awards a few days later.

A plastic surgeon, who hasn't met the singer/sonwriter, told In Touch magazine he thinks the country pop star increased her bust size from an A to a B cup. The magazine goes on to suggest that Swift had surgery in April 2012.

We think Swift probably had a good stylist who helped her look more endowed than usual. They are capable of pulling of some major fashion feats.

When word broke that thieves had stolen $1 million worth of gaudy jewelry in Cannes, right after the premiere of Sofia Coppola’s “Bling Ring,” the news was so timely it practically seemed like creative guerrilla marketing. Ms. Coppola’s film is based on the true story of five Los Angeles kids who raid the homes of their most OMG-ed celebrities so they can dress, as all the ads and magazines implore, just like Paris Hilton, Lindsay Lohan, Audrina Patridge, Megan Fox and Miranda Kerr.

The film fits neatly with the celebrity-obsessed city of Cannes, and it seemed appropriate that the film’s young stars, who play the celebrity-obsessed clotheshorse thieves, walked the red carpet and answered the question of the moment: “Who are you wearing?”

The Hogwarts alumna Emma Watson is the biggest star in the cast, but the ringleader is played by an 18-year-old newcomer, Katie Chang, a high school student from Illinois who celebrated her prom just a few weeks before heading to a film prom in the Cannes Film Festival. While her mother searched in vain for George Clooney, Ms. Chang, who was on her first trip outside the United States, spoke about the surreal joy of walking the red carpet and roaming through Ms. Hilton’s house. These are edited excerpts from that conversation, which naturally took place in a dressing room, among stacks of designer-label boxes.

Tumblr pornographers, take heart: Yahoo comes in peace.

For the first time since the acquisition announcement, Yahoo CEO Marissa Mayer has made a clear decree on her company’s role in censoring content – mainly that they have none. During Yahoo’s new Flickr event Monday night, Mayer was asked directly whether she will restrict content on Tumblr.

“No, we won’t,” she said. “It’s the nature of user-generated content.”

Asked by an investor how Yahoo would balance user and advertiser interests with regard to Tumblr content that is "not as brand safe as the rest of Yahoo" -- content that presumably includes posts by sexually explicit Tumblrs such as "Red Hot Porn," "Porn and Weed" and "Secretary Sex" -- Mayer noted that the diversity of Tumblr's content was "exciting" because it allowed Tumblr, and by extension Yahoo, to reach a far wider audience.

"I think the richness and breadth of content available on Tumblr -- even though it may not be as brand safe as what's on our site -- is what's really exciting and allows us to reach even more users," said Mayer, who did not mention pornography as such, but referred obliquely to content that was not brand safe. "One of the ways to start measuring our growth story here is around traffic and users, and this obviously produces a lot of that. In terms of how to address advertisers' concerns around brand safety, we need to have good tools for targeting."

She continued on to say that it’s important to have community tool like NSFW tags that Tumblr already has in place. There you go, folks, that’s about as definitive as you’re going to get.

To get ready for her big co-hosting gig with Ellen, Jennifer Aniston visited her friend Matthew Perry to get some advice. What happened after that, you'll have to see to believe.

Sergio Garcia's verbal sparring with Tiger Woods continued Tuesday night in Europe with what could be perceived as a racial reference aimed at the world's No. 1 player for which the Spaniard later issued an apology.

Garcia, who took issue with Woods for what he viewed as a breach of golf course etiquette during the third round of The Players Championship two weeks ago, was asked in jest at a European Tour function if he would be inviting Woods to dinner during next month's U.S. Open.

"We'll have him round every night,'' Garcia said, according to multiple media reports. "We will serve fried chicken.''

"Fried chicken" references are associated as racial stereotypes with African-Americans. A similar comment got Fuzzy Zoeller in trouble following the 1997 Masters, when he quipped that fried chicken would be served at the following year's champions' dinner, which Woods would host as defending champion.

According to media reports, Garcia left the European Tour awards dinner Tuesday night at the BMW PGA Championship in Virginia Water, England, before he could be questioned. He later issued a statement through the European Tour.

"I apologize for any offense that may have been caused by my comment on stage during the European Tour Players' Awards dinner,'' Garcia said. "I answered a question that was clearly made towards me as a joke with a silly remark, but in no way was the comment meant in a racist manner.''
