A person points at a X-ray of a 2-year-old boy showing needles inside his body in a hospital in Ibotirama, northern Brazil. (Associated Press) BRASILIA, Brazil -- Doctors prepared to perform emergency surgery on a Brazilian toddler on Friday to remove some of the 42 sewing needles that were allegedly inserted into him by his stepfather during a series of bizarre rituals. Surgeons in the northeastern city of Salvador plan to take out a needle that punctured the 2-year-old boy's heart and others close to other vital organs, said Susy Moreno, a spokeswoman at the hospital where the boy is being treated in the northeastern city of Salvador. "This operation is to remove the most threatening sewing needles," Moreno said. "More operations may be necessary." The operation was expected to take as long as as six hours, Brazilian media reported. Moreno did not say how long the procedure could last. Police say the boy's stepfather confessed to pushing 42 supposedly "blessed" sewing needles deep into the child because his lover told him to while in trances. The rituals were performed over a period of a month to try to keep the couple together, the stepfather told police. Roberto Carlos Magalhaes, a 30-year-old bricklayer, told detectives the woman would enter into trances and "command him to stick the needles in the boy's body," police inspector Helder Fernandes Santana told The Associated Press by telephone. The stepfather told police the rituals happened every few days for a full month, with him inserting several needles during each session. The lover, Angelina Ribeiro dos Santos, paid to have the needles measuring up to 2 inches (5 centimeters) blessed by a woman who practiced the Afro-Brazilian religion Candomble, and convinced Magalhaes that inserting them into the boy would somehow allow them to be together, Santana said. Police, however, believe Dos Santos was out for revenge on the boy's mother, though they did not say why. "According to his confession, he acted under influence of the woman, but it was he who stuck the needles in the boy's body," the inspector said. Magalhaes and dos Santos were both arrested, though no charges have yet been filed. Dos Santos is not believed to be a member of any religious or occult group, and authorities believe she came up with the idea of the rituals on her own, Santana said. The two were taken to an undisclosed lockup for their own protection after a mob threw stones at the police station where they were being held. It was not immediately clear whether they had legal representation. Authorities also detained the woman who blessed the needles so she could be questioned, but Santana said he expects she will be released without charge because she did not know how they were being used. The boy's mother, a maid, took him to a hospital in the town of Ibotirama on Dec. 10, saying he was complaining of pain. After X-rays revealed the cause, the mother told police she didn't know how the needles got inside her son, whose name was not released because of his age. The boy was later transferred for more advanced evaluation at a much larger hospital in the coastal city of Salvador. Police and doctors concluded it would have been impossible for the boy to have ingested the needles - which have also been found in a lung, in his left leg and spread throughout his abdomen. Afro-Brazilian religions practiced in Brazil have no ceremonies, rituals or practices involving harm to people, said Nelson Inocencio, director of African-Brazilian studies at the University of Brasilia. He worried that the incident could hurt the image of the religions, of which Candomble is the most popular, and concentrated most in Bahia state. "What happened to this boy without a doubt could feed into the prejudice against Afro-Brazilian traditions," he said. Source: KTLA Follow Me @Twitter.com/ChasinMoPaper

AllHipHop Reports A controversial new documentary about superstar rapper Lil Wayne has shot to the top of the iTunes movie charts. QD3 Entertainment’s film The Carter is currently the No. 1 selling documentary on iTunes in the U.S. In addition to landing the top slot on Apple's iTunes U.S.’ music store, The Carter is also in the Top 10 on the Canadian iTunes music store alongside such blockbusters as Bruno and GI Joe. “Having our Lil Wayne The Carter documentary place in the Top 10 on both U.S. and Canadian iTunes store within the first 48 hours, competing neck and neck with multi-million dollar studio films such as Bruno and GI Joe during Christmas season is quite a feat for a self distributed indie doc and beyond our expectations,” QD3 Entertainment CEO Quincy Jones III told AllHipHop.com. “We are very excited about continuing to innovate within the digital space.” The Carter was released on November 17th and is an in depth look at the personal and professional life of rapper Lil Wayne. Lil Wayne, born Dwayne Michael Carter Jr., is known for his rigorous touring schedule and frequent drug use, which is spotlighted in the documentary. In April of 2009, a judge rejected a request by Lil Wayne's lawyer to block the distribution of the DVD, due to several scenes in the movie which the rapper and his management objected to, reportedly because of his drug use. The rapper's management claimed they requested to have the questionable scenes removed, but those scenes were still in The Carter, when it premiered at the Sundance film festival in January. Despite the lawsuit Jones told AllHipHop.com that the documentary’s release is in line with a digital distribution strategy the company has been developing in 2001. "It was my goal since the inception of QD3 Entertainment in 2001 to have a strong focus on digital distribution and multi platform innovation,” Jones told AllHipHop.com. “Since 2001 our primary means of marketing have been organic and viral on digital platforms. Using this approach we've been able to sell over 2 million DVD's via the QD3 (DVD) collection at physical retail….this is the era we have preparing for all along by retaining all rights to our content and were about to launch a couple of digital content and social media platforms by early 2010 utilizing our over 3,500 hour library of high quality content that includes films such as Tupac Shakur - Thug Angel and the multi platinum Beef.” QD3 Entertainment’s The Carter was directed by Adam Bhala Lough and is currently available on iTunes for $14.99.

From Miss California USA ... to porn star? A major porn company wants to be in the Carrie Prejean business Video After The Jump NY Daily News Reports Carrie Prejean's pageant tiara may be thoroughly tarnished, but one media company still wants to make her a star - a porn star. Vivid Entertainment, a giant in the world of porn production, has received a copy of Prejean's solo sex tape and is eager to release it to the public, TMZ.com reports. The company says it received the tape legally, but would prefer Prejean's go-ahead before distributing it, according to TMZ. It doesn't seem likely the former Miss California USA would approve such a venture, but with new reports claiming seven other sex tapes of Prejean have surfaced, the risk of a tape getting leaked has multiplied. RadarOnline.com reported the discovery of the new tapes Friday, along with 30 more nude photos. The videos and images are said to all be solo performances like the first tape. The exploding sex tape scandal surrounding Prejean began when a lawyer for Miss California USA pageant officials, whom Prejean had sued alleging religious discrimination, produced a copy of the hard core sex tape during settlement negotiations. After being shown the video, Prejean promptly dropped her $1M demands and bolted from the table empty-handed. She later owned up to making the salacious home movie as a teen, calling it "the biggest mistake of my life."

AllHipHop Reports Chuck D, the front man of Public Enemy, offered his opinion of Jay-Z and Gucci Mane during an interview on AllHipHop Radio's morning show Eric B and Friends earlier in the day. The rapper expressed his admiration for Jay-Z from a career point of view, and stressed that he was impressed with The Blueprint 3 album. "On Jay-Z - quote me on this - Jay-Z is the Rookie of the Year in 2009. You want to know why? Because at age 40, he is just getting started," Chuck said this morning. "He is simply forwarding the artform. Just imagine if he decided to pick up two more languages to add to his craft. He is #1." (Editor's note: Jay-Z turns 40 in December. Chuck also said that rappers such as Gucci Mane and Baby of Cash Money, who both sharply contested Jay-Z's top slot on MTV's "Hottest Rapper" list had no artistic right to be so vocal. Chuck D stated these were unfounded criticisms based on Jay-Z's body of work. Chuck said, "Jay-Z's just getting started. Gucci Mane, he'd be better off jumping in a swimming pool with a plugged in toaster." Chuck D stressed that his former Def Jam alumni could likely expand his brand if he further embraced the global community. "The only thing what will make Jay-Z totally untouchable, would be if he learned another language."

Living with Michael Jackson is a documentary, in which British journalist Martin Bashir interviewed Michael Jackson over a span of 8 months, from May 2002 to January 2003. It was shown first in the UK on 3 February 2003 and in the US three days later on ABC, introduced by Barbara Walters. Martin Bashir put the proposal to Jackson as a way to show the world the truth about him and make nothing off limits. Jacksons decision to make the documentary was made on the suggestion by his close friend Uri Geller. It later emerged that Geller had turned down another bid for the interview by journalist Louis Theroux. The interview was very unusual, as it had been extremely rare for Jackson to allow such access to his personal life, or to talk so freely about his traumatic childhood. Nevertheless, he did show some reserve when asked to discuss other personal issues, such as the plastic surgery he has had.R.I.P Michael Jackson

JERUSALEM - An Israeli woman mistakenly threw out a mattress with $1 million inside, setting off a frantic search through tons of garbage at a number of landfill sites, Israeli media reported Wednesday. The woman told Army Radio that she bought her elderly mother a new mattress as a surprise on Monday and threw out the old one, only to discover that her mother had hidden her life savings inside. She was identified only as Anat, a resident of Tel Aviv. When she went to look for the mattress it had already been taken by garbage men, she said. Subsequent searches at three different landfill sites turned up nothing. ‘Totally desperate’ Yitzhak Borba, the dump manager, told the radio station that his staff was helping the woman, saying she appeared "totally desperate." He said the mattress was hard to find among the 2,500 tons of garbage arriving at the site every day. He said he increased security at the site to keep would-be treasure hunters at bay. For her part, Anat said it could be worse. "People have to take everything in proportion and thank God for the good and the bad," she said. Source: Associated Press
