Vietnamese man claims to have world's longest hair

A Vietnamese man is claiming to have the longest hair in the world.

Tran Van Hay, from the Mekong delta province of Kien Giang, says his hair is 20.34ft long (6.2m).

The 67-year-old hasn't had his hair cut for 31 years and is renowned for having the longest hair in Vietnam, says the VNA agency.

It's even listed in Vietnam's own record book, but he has yet to contact Guinness World Records with his claim.

A spokeswoman said the current holder of the record is Hoo Sateow from Thailand, with a hair length of 16ft 11ins.

She said they'd like to hear from Tran Van Hay to verify his claim and possibly name him as the new world record holder.

Indian man claims world's longest moustache

An Indian man is aiming for a place in the record books for the longest moustache in the world.

Badamsingh Gurjar Khatana claims to have a 13.5 foot-long moustache.

The current record is held by Kalyan Sain, whose moustache measures 11.1ft.

The Guinness Book of Records say they haven't heard from Khatana, but says if he can provide documentary evidence then he may be the new record holder.

Khatana, from Kemri in Rajasthan, says he hasn't shaved or trimmed his moustache for the last 26 years.

"The only thing that I have been doing for some years is applying oil regularly every morning. Other than that I do not spare much time for it," he said.

The Asian Age says the 61-year-old began growing the moustache because, "men in our village take pride in moustaches as it is perceived sign of masculinity and therefore it was natural that I grow one too" .

Mr Khatana lives with his two wives and 14 children.

Paramedics comfort distraught Britney ...then attend run over snapper

AN hysterical BRITNEY SPEARS had to be calmed down by paramedics after her car ran over a photographer.
As for the poor snapper lying in pain with a suspected busted ankle ā€” well, he has to wait his turn.

These are the amazing pictures which show things are going from bad to worse in the mad, mad world of Britney.
Having been forced to cancel her world tour after knee surgery, the singerā€™s life was plunged into further chaos when her 4x4 drove over the cameraman at the weekend.

The panic-stricken singer sat in the car screaming and crying after the accident.

Mascara running down her cheeks, she screamed: ā€?Oh no, oh no. Mom, Mom,ā€¯ after her mother Lynne, who was driving the hulking motor, ploughed into the photographer.

She was so upset she had to be calmed down by a paramedic before he went on to treat the injured man, British-born Calum Reavely.

The ambulance man stood at Britneyā€™s car door, holding her hand and consoling her, fearing she was suffering a panic attack.

Britney ā€” wearing a leg brace to support her damaged knee ā€” and her mum had been buying a puppy when what should have been a pleasant photo opportunity turned nasty.

Photographers surrounded her as she emerged from a pet shop near her beachside apartment in Santa Monica, California.

She was clutching her new dog with her mum and sister Jamie Lynn, 13, in tow.

As their mum drove the vehicle away, there was a sickening crunch and a photographer fell in a heap on the floor.

UK's first ever naked shopping event held

The UK's first ever naked shopping event has been held in Central London.
There was a poor turnout for the event with only about 15 naturists turning up at the Plaza shopping centre in Oxford Street.
Oona Graham-Taylor, spokeswoman for the Plaza centre, blamed the disappointing turnout of naturists on the Euro 2004 football championships.
She said the centre would "possibly" consider holding another naked evening, says BBC News Online.

"We were actually hoping for more but it is the first event we have run and the football cut numbers down", she said.
Naturists were invited to register as naked shoppers before being allowed entry on the night. Many of the centre's shops and restaurants also offered discounts to the nude bargain hunters.

Staff remained fully clothed during the event.
Nick Mayhew, co-author of naturists' guidebook Bare Beaches, was on hand to sign copies of his book.
