“A museum dedicated to Terminator star Arnold Schwarzenegger at his childhood home opens on his 64th birthday. The star gave the project the thumbs up during a visit last month to the house near Graz, Austria, where he grew up. Visitors can see the first weights that a teenage Arnie started body-building with and took pride of place behind his desk from his term as Governor of California. Other exhibits include a life-sized recreation of the star as his Terminator android. The home – complete with all Arnie’s family’s furniture – was sold to a local museum trust in 2009 for $561,474 and has taken two years to convert into a shrine to the star.” w/ photo

“Oshine shot to fame as Britain’s fattest orangutan, but now she is king of the slimmers after ditching her diet of sweets, jelly and marshmallows. The chubby primate originally weighed in at 210lbs, with her lifestyle as a pet for 13 years in South Africa thought to be the reason for her obesity. After arriving at Monkey World in Dorset last year Oshine found herself on a strict diet, cutting out unhealthy snacks in favour of a more healthy diet of fruit, vegetables and exercise. Oshine has now lost a fifth of her body weight and now has even adopted an orphaned baby orangutan named Silvestre.” w/ photos
