The New Zealand Earthquake was bad, but the aftershocks were doing damage too!

New Zealand authorities have warned that about a third of the buildings in Central Christchurch will have to be demolished and rebuilt after the recent earthquake. Hundreds of homes which were also damaged in the 6.3 magnitude tremor may also have to be pulled down.

The New Zealand Prime Minister, John Key, said that the country was facing its biggest ever tragedy when the death toll rose to one hundred and forty four. As the rescue efforts enter their fifth night, only bodies are being found.

There were hope that two hundred missing people would be found alive, but these hopes are now fading. In the last 72 hours, no survivors have been found in the rubble in Christchurch. It is believed by officials that up to twenty two bodies might be buried under the rubble of Christchurch Cathedral and at least one hundred and twenty people are thought to have been killed in the CTV office block when it collapsed.

In the panic of all this commotion, builder Carl Sockton managed to pull out his bride Emma Howard  from the office building. But he didn’t just pull her out of the rubble, the 43 year old all so pulled out six other lives from the collapsed office building.

Last year Rihanna was dating baseball player Matt Kemp but in December, Rihanna and Matt’s relationship was finished. However, now it looks like Rihanna has found love again!
 
There has been reports going around that Rihanna is dating an actor. But who could the actor be? Rumours suggest that Rihanna is dating Ryan Phillipe!
 
Rihanna first met Ryan in December when her relationship with Mattt Kemp was fading. A source closed to Rihanna said: “She thinks he’s hot.” The source also said: “They initially hooked up when things were strained with (Rihanna’s ex) Matt Kemp back in early December.” 
Previously an eye witness at the latest pre-Grammy’s party said that Rihanna turned down Ryan’s advances at the party.
 
It is believed that Rihanna and Ryan were reunited at a charity event. Rihanna then invited Ryan to her 23rd Birthday party in Beverley Hills, both of them were seen hanging out with each other. Other guests that were at the party included Beyonce, P Diddy, Zac Efron, Snopp Dog and Cee Lo Green.
 
So many rumours have been going around recently! A rumour has it that Rihanna and Matt broke up because he believed that she was cheating on him with Drake. Apparently the cheating was happening on both sides.
 
Personally I think if the rumours are true, it’s great! Rihanna deserves some happiness!

Last night, the NME Awards sponsored by Shockwave were held at London’s O2 Academy Brixton. The big winners of the night were American band My Chemical Romance, who walked away with two trophies.

The band, fronted by Gerard Way, won the award for Best International Band, and Best Video for their inexplicably lengthy titled song Na Na Na (Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na). Way also lost out on the Hero of the Year award along with Kanye West, to pop superstar Lady Gaga.

Canadian group Arcade Fire seem to be raking in the big awards recently, picking up another gong for Best Album for their album The Suburbs, which also won prizes at the BRITs and Grammy Awards. However their video for We Used to Wait was amongst the few that lost out to My Chemical Romance in the Best Video category.

The award for Best British Band went to Muse again for the second year in a row. Front man Matt Bellamy also picked up the award for Hottest Man, with Alison Mosshart named Hottest Woman. Relatively unknown singer Laura Marling won the award for Best Solo Artist, following on from her Best Female win at the BRITs last week, while Scot rockers Biffy Clyro were named Best Live Band, and synthpop duo Hurts won Best New Band.

The NME Awards are known for their ‘fun’ categories, and this year it seems like teen pop sensation Justin Bieber was on the end of a lot of those jokes, ‘winning’ the awards for Least Stylish, and Worst Album for My World. Sorry beliebers!

However a number of prestigious awards were also given out to truly celebrate musical achievement. Dave Grohl, who closed the show with his band Foo Fighters, won the Godlike Genius award, to huge applause. British singer PJ Harvey won the prize for the Teenage Cancer Trust’s Outstanding Contribution To Music, experimental duo Crystal Castles won the John Peel Award for Innovation, while upcoming New Zealand band The Naked And Famous won the Philip Hall Radar Award, which celebrates upcoming music.

A parrot that has been missing for over 2 months is now found.

A parrot which disappeared for 66 days has now been found after apparently setting up home over the winter in a hen house. Jack, a blue fronted Amazon, began clucking when he was found, which was thought to be a sign of where he had been sheltering.

The 12 year old bird had flown out of an open door at the home of owners Jerry and Irene Williams in Prenton, Liverpool on November 21st 2010. He made it through the coldest December for 100 years before being perched on a fence by a tropical aviary at Chester Zoo, which is 15 miles away.

The zoos head parrot keeper, Andy Woolham, said that he enticed Jack down with a grape as that is something parrots can’t resist. He added that if Jack had not found shelter and food, he would have been killed by the cold. He has now been reunited with his very happy owners.

I’m amazed on how long the parrot survived on its own, but I had to laugh at when they found it, it started clicking like a chicken because it spent so long with chickens.
