WWE star Sasha Banks is about to get “zombie-fied”! As peculiar as that may sound, it’s true. The Raw brand pro wrestler — a.k.a. The Legit Boss — enlisted the help of makeup artist Jason Baker and special effects pioneer, “Godfather of Gore” Tom Savini to transform her into a life-sizd, flesh-and-blood re-creation of her Mattel WWE Zombie action figure. Using the Mattel miniature as a guide, Savini and Baker applied a prosthetic piece to cover her forehead, nose, checks and jaw, then added foam latex to emphasize her skull. Then came the gray body makeup, really gross fake teeth and creepy.

The Manila Zoo is honoring the life of Bertha, its former longest-living resident.
The female hippo, who lived at the Philippine zoo since it opened in 1959, was found dead in her enclosure on Friday. She was 65 years old, and was believed to be the oldest hippopotamus in captivity, according to the BBC. (Her age can’t be officially, independently verified as the zoo lost Bertha’s records.)
The super senior first came to the zoo when she was 7 years old. As an adult, she weighed about 2.5 tons (approximately 5,000 lbs.) and was fed a diet of fruit, grass and bread. She lived in a 1,000-sq.

Anyone who reads this site with any regularity knows the name "Tom Savini" and knows it well. His Special Makeup FX work on films such as Dawn of the Dead, Day of the Dead, Creepshow, and Friday the 13th are legendary. His acting roles in From Dusk Till Dawn, Planet Terror, and Land of the Dead equally so. However, as well as audiences think they know his work, the man behind the FX magic is a mystery… not unlike the great and powerful Oz.
In production now is a documentary called Smoke and Mirrors: The Story of Tom Savini which aims to change all of that by lifting the veil and showing who exactly Tom Savini really is. Recently, filmmaker Jason Baker unveiled a trailer for his film online and the response has been incredible to say the least. The donations to the film's Kickstarter page have yielded unprecedented results.

Pamela Anderson's search for an animal-friendly leather-look g-string has ended in triumph. Pam's credentials as an animal rights supporter have been bolstered by her insistence on wearing only ethically-acceptable thongs. The dedicated star scoured the world looking for a designer who could make a sexy but synthetic alternative before employing Rohit Bal from Bombay. India, to work on the creation. A delighted Bal - who says his outfit comprising a see-through wraparound sari, fake leather blouse and the g-string will be ready in a week - gushes, "I'm very happy not only because Pamela asked me but because it's linked to an important cause I believe in." Jason Baker, Indian representative of the People For The Ethical Treatment Of Animals (PETA), says that Pam had asked the group to suggest a designer, adding, "I'm sure it would be a smash hit in the U.S."...
