Tuti Yusupowa, 128-year-old Uzbekistan Great Grandma, Is World Oldest's People

world oldest woman Tuti Yusupowa

World verified oldest people French Jeanne Calment
Jeanne Calment (Wiki)

World's oldest person ever verified is France's Jeanne Calment [Wikipedia], who was born on 21 February 1875. When she died on Aug. 4, 1997, Calment aged 122 years and 164 days.

Jeanne Calment's record has probably broken by Tuti Yusupowa, a 128-year-old great great grandma from a village in a remote region of Uzbekistan. Though the birth year on her passport issued in 1997 from Uzbekistan's Interior Ministry only shows Tuti Yusupowa was born in 1880, Xinhua is reporting Ms. Yusupowa was born on July 1 of that year.

Safar Hakimov, a state official who is working a field survey to discover people aged over 100 in the central Asian country, claimed Yusupowa is the world's oldest woman.

Evan Rachel Wood and Mickey Rourke are an item? Evan Rachel Wood, creepy singer Marilyn Manson's former girlfriend, was romantically linked to The Wrestler co-star Mickey Rourke by Fox News's gossip column Pop Tarts after its spies "spotted" the pair smooching on the recent SAG award after-party.

21-Year-Old Evan Rachel Wood Busted Making Out With Movie Dad

Stranger things have happened - after all, this is Hollywood. Evan Rachel Wood, 21, hit headlines last year after she started dating Marilyn Manson (19 years her senior) but since their split in December has she now moved on to 56-year-old veteran actor Mickey Rourke?

The two attended Grey Goose’s Official SAG after-party at the Shrine on Sunday evening but were spotted leaving together enroute to the later after party at the Four Seasons Hotel. According to Pop Tarts spies, the actress went upstairs with Rourke (whose second marriage ended over a decade ago) when he suddenly grabbed her for a lip-lock in the outside area of the swanky five-star hotel.

However, Evan Rachel Wood denied such alleged affair with Mickey Rourke, she told Rolling Stone, "I'm not attracted to him, he's too old for me. Nothing ever happened and nothing ever will."

Nevertheless, Rachel Wood was indeed seen passionately kissing Rourke's cheek (picture) at the Venice Film Festival in May, 2008. [Image: Youtube.com/Dose.ca]

Yang Xin, Zhu Haiyang's Virginia Tech Decapitated Victim

Yang Xin (or Xin Yang, 杨欣 in Chinese), was Zhu Haiyang's Virginia Tech decapitated victim.  So far it's unknown what's the motive behind Zhu Haiyang's horrific and gruesome slaying against Yang Xin who was said to a Canada-educated First Degree holder. But here are unofficial counts read from a post at C3online.cn.

Yang Xin, Zhu Haiyang Virginia Tech Decapitated Victim
Yang Xin (or Xin Yang) arrived only 13 days in US when murdered

Yang Xin, 22, from Beijing, just arrived at Virginia Tech for studying accounting on January 8. On that day, it was said Zhu Haiyang picked her up. And in the following days, Zhu temporarily accommodated Yang as the latter could not find a house on campus during the Winter break. During this short period, Zhu Haiyang had developed affectations on Yang Xin, but later only found she had an engaged boyfriend in China and would get married soon, as a consequence, Zhu resorted the violence to end Yang's life.

Update: Yang Xin graduated from Canada's Memorial University.

An alumnist of Memorial University has been murdered in the United States. Memorial's Department of Student Affairs says 22 year old Xin Yang of Beijing graduated from Business at Memorial in 2007, and worked here in the city for a short time. 2 weeks ago she began her graduate studies in accounting at Virginia Tech. According to Virgina Tech's website, on Wednesday evening, Yang was attacked by another student with a knife in a campus restaurant. The suspect - a 25 year old male doctoral student, was charged with first degree murder. [Vocm.com]

We said in the earlier post, Zhu Haiyang's previous private life was a little messy, it seemed so did Yang Xin.  Citrus1111 said in a message on Hoopchina.com Yang had a nickname called "Socket" when studying in Canada, hinting she might have made some boyfriends there and had sexual intercourses with them.

Virginia Tech Slaying

Zhu Haiyang (朱海洋 in Chinese),once hailed as a model student by his previous school--Shanghai Ocean University, is now a first-degree murder. Zhu Haiyang was alleged of decapitating fellow Chinese national, Yang Xin (杨欣 in Chinese)using a kitchen knife in Virginia Tech yesterday January 23, 2009.

At approximately 7:00 pm Wednesday (0000 GMT Thursday), Yang Xin, a 22-year-old graduate student from Beijing, was killed at an Au Bon Pain cafe on the Virginia Tech campus in Blacksburg, Virginia, university officials said.

They added that emergency contact records suggest that Yang and the student who murdered her, Zhu Haiyang from Ningbo, China, knew each other. According to officials, witnesses said Zhu, 25, attacked Yang with a knife.

"There were seven witnesses in the cafe. There had been no argument, no shouting" when the young woman was attacked, said Virginia Tech spokesman Mark Owczarski, confirming that Yang had been decapitated.

The Collegiate Times, the university's newspaper, said police received a 911 emergency call minutes after the assault and the officer who arrived at the scene found Yang's head had been cut off. The murder weapon, a large kitchen knife, was found at the scene.

In a copy of a police affidavit published by the Collegiate Times, the officer said that when she arrived at the scene she found Zhu holding Yang's head in his hand.

"This is horrible and tragic. Especially when we know that Virginia Tech has got its share of hardship and horror," Owczarski said.

[...]

Zhu was charged with first-degree murder and was being held at a county jail. He had not had a record with university or local police, the school indicated.

Yang had arrived at Virginia Tech in early January to begin studies in accounting. Zhu was a PhD graduate student in agriculture and applied economics. [AFP]

Pictured: Zhu Haiyang was photographed on his convocation at Shanghai Ocean University (上海海洋大学,the six large Chinese characters in the pic) which was calligraphied by Jiang Zemin (the three smaller Chinese), the former Chinese President.

This is an extreme sad sorry for me, because we know something about Zhu before from a close friend who once studied together with him at the afore-mentioned Shanghai university. Although Haiyang is a talented student, especially doing very well in English, his private life is a bit messy. Because he is handsome, Zhu Haiyang was attracted to some of female course mates when doing his Master Degree, several of whom even might have one-night stand with him. Zhu's father is a Professor teaching at a University in China.

Anne Hathaway has been named for her Rachel Getting Married role in the category of Best Actress In A Leading Role during today's 2009 Academy Awards nominations. Her rivals include Angelina Jolie, Kate Winslet, Melissa Leo and Meryl Streep.  Though we love the afore-mentioned four, we hope to watch Anne Hathaway winning an Oscar Award when the 81th Academy Awards (2009) is live broadcasting on ABC starting 8:00ET/5:00PT on February 22, 2009. If Anne Hathaway eventually would have been 2009 Oscars' Best Actress, wish Angelina Jolie would not give her another "side eye"? :-).

Kayo Aiko's Fourth single...

was released on November 24, 2004. The title is いえないコトバ. It is pronounced 'Ienai Kotoba' and can be translated as 'The Words I Can't Say'. There is no c/w.

This single was released a week after her previous single. The song is a ballad and has the distinction of being Aiko's third-longest recording (5:32). The song was featured as the ending song of the anime 'Samurai Gun'.

The PV puts Aiko at the end of a once-promising relationship with a guy who wears a flannel shirt. We only see the guy from behind; Aiko stares up at him from a park bench at a gorgeous seaside location. He turns and walks away from her. She goes back to her hotel room, where the party people from 'Fantasy' live it up in the next room. Lonely, pouty Aiko gets upset and bangs on the wall (a shot stolen from the previous PV) as if to say, 'hey, some of us are trying to break up with our boyfriends here!'.

She calls 'flannel man' with her cell-phone and he says 'it's over', and she sheds some acting tears as she hangs up the phone. Look, flannel man, it's your loss.

Aiko slumps down in her hotel room which is HUGE by Japan standards, and it probably cost 100,000 yen for one night, so I hope flannel man's paying. Cut to him and he's on a dock, closing his phone, so now he'll probably help Nacchan write a song or something. He walks away and crosses paths with a familiar-looking girl wearing a pink overcoat, tied at the waist, carrying a stack of gifts so tall that she can barely see where she's going.

The guy can't even leave the video without seeing his old girlfriend... wait, wasn't she just on the phone a second ago? Nope, this 'new' Aiko is the third character in the video set, who will be maxing out every credit card she can find in the next PV.

Kayo Aiko's Third single...

was released on November 17, 2004. The title is 'Fantasy'. There is no c/w.

This single was the first of four singles she released in four consecutive weeks. The covers for all four singles feature a red rope that winds from left to right, and when the covers are placed side-by-side, the rope continues from one cover to the next.

Similarly, the PV's for all four songs are intertwined with vignettes of four different stories, centered around a large hotel.

In the first video, for Fantasy, Aiko plays a club girl who goes out with a gang of friends, male and female. They have a toast with flute-glasses at a table (but Aiko was 18 when this was filmed, so presume these drinks are non-alcoholic).  They toss a balloon around their hotel suite and blow off 'champagne-popper' noisemakers.  They participate in a giant dance sequence which features what I've always referred to as the 'oh my god, I stuck my hand in the fryer!' dance. See the PV and you'll know what I mean.

This Aiko character is cool, she's happy, and she's out having a good time. But apparently the ruckus that's coming from her hotel suite is bothering another guest. Another Aiko character bangs on the common wall and is trying to say, 'keep it down over there!' We'll find out what that's all about in the next PV.

Fantasy was featured as the ending theme for the TV Tokyo show GAME JOCKEY. I don't know what this show is about, so help me, if you can.

The song itself is a bit of a departure from Aiko's usual style (if she has one), the longest song she's ever recorded (5:38), and even if it wasn't intentional, it's an homage to Avex's early days, awash in Eurobeat.

The original version was recorded by Virginelle, and I've already pointed out where to find the song, but you can find it here. Besides the Eurobeat and the melody of the song, it's very different from the original, much more modern. Aiko starts the song with a run-through of the English-language chorus:

Carry on too many times for love / I only played as ever with your heart
I don't know, it's like a Fantasy / You're only mine, oh what a melody.

The PV is best in full-quality (buy the Aiko Kayohaku DVD!), where the rainbowed lens flares can show up in perfect focus, and you can see all the sparkle in Aiko's eyes.  I'd take her to any club she wanted to go to, but over here she'd get a little turned off by all the bump-n'-grind that goes on at our clubs.  So, it's back to the hotel room...

Kayo Aiko's Second single...

was released on April 14, 2004. The title is 愛してねもっと. It's pronounced 'Aishite ne Motto', and can be translated as 'Love Me More'. The c/w track is 'Eyes'.

The PV simulates what it might be like to go on a date with Aiko. She takes you to the record store, then out for some pasta, where she stuffs some spaghetti in your face using a fork (!); then, as a waitress passes by, the camera follows, leaving Aiko with a surprised look as she goes out of frame. When we look back at Aiko, she's mad at us. Very clever concept and a very cute girl. Meanwhile, she fan-dances in front of a red tunnel with two backup dancers who appear in a total of three shots.

The single was featured as the ending song for the anime 'Tenjou Tenge'. The c/w was featured as the ending track of the drama 'Eko Eko Azarak ~Me~', in which Aiko plays the character Misuzu Kurahashi. I've tried numerous times to find an episode of this show but it's not very popular, I hate to say. In particular there are two DVD items on the market, the first being The Director's Cut box set of the whole series, long out of print and at a cost of some $300 USD, if you can find it. The other is 'The Short Story of Eko Eko Azarak ~Me~' which features a behind-the-scenes of the series with a featurette on each of the show's five lead actresses, including Aiko and fellow fetching Kanagawa native Sayuri Anzu.

I rewatched the 'Short Story' DVD the other night and Aiko spends a lot of time with Anzu. Everybody dresses alike (it's a school setting) so it's hard to identify who's who sometimes. Aiko doesn't appear in any of the occult moments with the robes, magic words, and talismans; in fact, one scene shows Aiko popping around a corner to say 'hi' to Anzu just as an apparition disappears. Being oblivious to whatever just happened, Aiko says to Anzu something like, 'did I scare you?' In another scene, Anzu sees a figure on a wall, and Aiko's like, 'what the hell are you talking about?' So it seems she's unaware of the backstory, a kind of giddy character along for the ride. When people get killed, she sees that, so she'll figure it out eventually.

The Aiko footage also shows her recording the vocals for 'Eyes'; although it may be staged, it's being done in the same studio shown on the 'POP' covers. It's the one with the huge mixing board and wall-mounted monitors, probably where she recorded all of her other songs. This footage is one of two occasions that I've seen Aiko's recording sessions; the other is the 'Girl's Box TV' disc from the 'Natsumatsuri' concert DVD, where Kingyo records 'Lover's High' in a much smaller studio.

If anyone can help me out with this series I'd be very appreciative. I found the opening sequence on Stage6 when it still existed, and Aiko has only a quick shot there. I'm not big into drama shows but this is one I'd watch, because Aiko's in it, of course.

I have the original trilogy of Eko Eko Azarak movies and here's the quick story: Kuroi Misa is a new girl in town, everyone says she's a witch, then everyone gets brutally murdered and Misa somehow talks the evil into going away. There's some lesbian scenes, complete with toplessness, so add another lesbian motif to Aiko's legacy. The other two movies -- same thing, mostly, except no more nudity. Guess which one I consider to be my favorite?

Story-wise, the films aren't outstanding. Visually, and as thriller movies, they work. But Kuroi Misa is usually a disappointing protagonist; she finally opens up a can of whup-ass an hour into the third film and it doesn't last for very long. I'm hoping the series is a little more exciting. But my research tells me that it's about Kuroi Misa, and little else. If she ever shows up at your school, house, or workplace, run like hell! Everyone will soon be dead, except for her, and when she fights the evil that's killed everyone else, she'll treat it as some sort of victory. Um, everybody's dead... that's no victory!

Kanagawa and Déjà vu


Kayo Aiko is from Kanagawa. That's all we know about her origins. If the question was, "what part of the solar system is Kayo Aiko from?" then this answer would be pretty specific. Only problem is that Kanagawa, in the scope of things, is actually quite large. About 9 million people live there, in many different cities. It's like telling someone you're from New Jersey, and assuming that they don't want to know any more (they might not, actually).

Mind you, I'm not looking for the girl's home address (or maybe I am), and I can understand that they're trying to keep crazy people like me from camping outside her house (even though she might live in Tokyo now). But can you at least give us a city? I'm just interested in knowing what kind of traditions her family might have, what the local dishes are, and whether she grew up in the city or off the beaten path. They could even just say, 'she's from a small town in Kanagawa' or 'she's from a big city in Kanagawa', and even if she's from Yokohama, I certainly won't be finding her any quicker. A small town there is, what, 10,000 people, so even then, needle in a haystack. Why doesn't Aiko have any hometown pride?

My best guess is Yokohama, because it's the largest city and therefore the odds are greater for it to be her hometown. Maybe, just maybe, telling people you're from Kanagawa is like openly stating you're from Yokohama; unless you say the name of the town everyone just assumes that's where you're from.

So every now and then I'll be listening to some Aiko song, preferably at ear-splitting volume, really getting into it and in the middle of it all, I stop and wonder, 'what is this I'm listening to?' I'm well-acquainted with all of her songs and anymore it's like breathing -- you forget that you do it all the time, and one day you realize you've been doing it all along without thinking. The melodies are engrained in my brain to the point that I forget that she's Japanese and I'm American.

When I find my bearings and realize that it's Aiko, I hear her wonderful voice and think about how pretty she is, and it's like I'm hearing the song for the first time, all over again. Good music and an outrageously beautiful woman... and that's all I need!

Jennifer Garner No.2 Baby Name Meaning: Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner Named Second Daughter Seraphina Rose Elizabeth Affleck

Jennifer Garner and husband Ben Affleck have named their second daughter Seraphina Rose Elizabeth, who was born on January 6 in a Los Angeles hospital.

The couple didn't reveal the meaning behind the name of the newly-born baby girl. But Pamela Redmond Satran, the baby names' expert authored the Baby Name Bible, who also runs Website Nameberry, tells the possible meaning of Violet Anne's little sister's name on her web site:

Seraphina’s name, which means fiery or ardent in Hebrew, comes from the Seraphim, the high order of six-winged angels. Spelled Serafina in Spanish and Italian, this elaborately feminine name is in step with the Isabellas and Gabriellas so popular today, yet is far more distinctive.

Jen and Ben have proven their baby naming know-how with this gorgeous choice, a great match for Violet, and it’s sure to rise up the popularity list along with that of her big sister.  Much more unusual than Violet, Seraphina hasn’t ever appeared in the Top 1000 of the Social Security list in the past century.

Rose is the middle name du jour, a flower name match for Violet.  And, like many young Americans following the British tradition, the couple has chosen two middle names (although some people have already expressed the objection that it wasn’t fair for this baby to get one more than her big sister).

Seraphina hasn’t appeared much in popular culture references, though a couple of its variations have.  With the Latin  Serafina spelling, it was the name of the passionate heroine of Tennessee Williams The Rose Tattoo, and just last year it was a  character played by Eva Green in The Golden Compass.  It’s also reminiscent of Sarafina, the South African hit musical that played on Broadway in the 90s.
