You won't believe these gruesome injuries are special effects

Zoe Armstrong from New Zealand first started creating special effects as a hobby she indulged in her spare time. Now the Theatre student is so good at her craft, you can't tell her creations from the real thing.

She said: 

"I was always fascinated by gore and how they did zombies, wounds and fight scene make-up in movies, and I often spent my days during art classes using newspaper and old paint to make myself have a zombie hand."

Her theatre tech lecturer was instrumental in helping Zoe take her passion further by buying her her first special effects make-up kit.

She says she learns by watching YouTube plenty videos of professional artists, now she is so good she can create a gunshot wound in under dive minutes.

Explosions Hit Brussels Airport And One Allegedly killed

Explosions tore through the departure hall of Brussels airport on Tuesday morning killing one person and injuring several others, the Belgian news agency Belga said.

The agency said shots were fired and there were shouts in Arabic shortly before the explosions.

The blasts occurred four days after the arrest in Brussels of a suspected participant in November militant attacks in Paris that killed 130 people. Belgian police had been on alert for any reprisal action.

Social media showed pictures of smoke rising from the departure hall where windows had been shattered by the blasts. Passengers were seen running away down a slipway.

Sky News television's Alex Rossi, at the scene, said he heard two "very, very loud explosions".

"I could feel the building move. There was also dust and smoke as well... I went towards where the explosion came from and there were people coming out looking very dazed and shocked."

"The thinking here is that it is some kind of terrorist attack - that hasn't been verified by any of the authorities here at the airport."

Video showed devastation inside the departure hall with items scattered across the floor.

Belgian media said rail traffic to the airport was suspended.

Brussels airport said it had canceled all flights and the complex had been evacuated.

Salah Abdeslam, the prime surviving suspect for November's Paris attacks on a stadium, cafes and a concert hall, was captured by Belgian police after a shootout on Friday.

Belgium's Interior Minister, Jan Jambon, said on Monday the country was on high alert for a possible revenge attack following the capture of 26-year-old Abdeslam.

"We know that stopping one cell can ... push others into action. We are aware of it in this case," he told public radio.

French investigator Francois Molins told a news conference in Paris on Saturday that Abdeslam, a French citizen born and raised in Brussels, admitted to investigators he had wanted to blow himself up along with others at the Stade de France on the night of the attack claimed by Islamic State; but he later backed out.

She doesn't have stamina, He engages in bigotry & bullying'- Trump, Clinton and Ted Cruz trade insults at each other

U.S Presidential candidates Donald Trump, Hilary Clinton and Ted Cruz blasted each other on Monday night during an exclusive on-air interview with CNN. Although the trio weren't sat face to face, they still had a go at each other while interviewed by CNN's Anderson Cooper and Wolf Blitzer at the Aipac stage.

Hilary Clinton, launched her most direct attack yet on Donald Trump, accusing him of “bigotry and bluster and bullying” and inciting violence at all his campaign rallies.

While Texas senator Ted Cruz said even though he understands Trump's widespread support, his campaign is based on lies and he together with Clinton have traded influence in Washington.

While Trump offered a more subtle attack on rival Hilary Clinton saying she 'lacked stamina' to become president of America. Trump said, “I think she doesn’t have the stamina. You watch her life. You watch how she’ll go away three or four days; she’ll come back. Look, we’ve got to beat China in trade. We’ve got to beat Isis. We’ve got so many problems in this country; I say she does not have the stamina to be a good president ... doesn’t have the energy, she doesn’t have it. Doesn’t have the strength to be president, in my opinion.”

Republican candidate Ted Cruz said, “The lie behind Donald’s campaign is that he will stand up to Washington. He is the system. Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton are flip sides of the same coin. Donald Trump has made billions buying influence in Washington. Hillary Clinton has made millions selling influence in Washington.” Cruz predicted that he would beat Trump in a head-to-head battle if the Republican convention were to be contested.

Clinton, said “I think it’s important to listen to what he says,” she said. “You have to take him at his word so to speak. He has been engaging in bigotry and bluster and bullying. “And I think when it comes to understanding what he would do as president there are serious questions that have been raised in this campaign. Should he be the nominee we’ll have to address them.”

Asked if she believes Trump really is a bully, Clinton replied: “Well, I think his behaviour certainly qualifies for that. I think his incitement of violence, his constant urging on of his supporters in large numbers to go after protesters, his saying I want to punch people in the face and telling somebody who did punch somebody I will pay your legal bills, i think that raises very serious questions.”

She recounted some of Trumps' comments from the past few months, ranging from “calling Mexican immigrants rapists and criminals, saying John McCain was not a war hero, being reluctant to denounce the Ku Klux Klan and David Duke. And the list goes on.”

How to Get Away with Murder star Charlie Weber files for divorce from wife Giselle less than a year after they married in a private ceremony in Mexico

Actor Charlie Weber is reportedly divorcing his wife of less than a year.

The How to Get Away with Murder star, 37, is fiercely private about his home life, but TMZ reports that the star has filed for divorce from his wife, Giselle, citing irreconcilable differences.

The entertainment news site claims the papers were filed in Los Angeles last month and that there was a prenup in place.

The couple, who don't have children together, wed in a private ceremony last April in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico.

Such was the privacy surrounding their relationship, that at the time of the wedding Giselle's name wasn't even known to the public.

It was reported that Charlie's HTGAWM co-stars Matt McGorry and Katie Findlay were present for the nuptials.

In an interview with Steve Harvey early last year, the actor discussed the couple's engagement.

He said: 'After we shot the pilot in Philadelphia, I came home and proposed to my girlfriend. I did it. We've been engaged for just under a year, and I'm taking her to Bora Bora.'

Charlie has a 10-year-old daughter from a previous relationship.

In the same interview, he said: 'I'm trying to keep her my baby for as long as I possibly can. She's still my little angel," Weber told Harvey. "We'll see how long that lasts, but right now all is well.' 

Before HTGAWM, the actor was probably best known for his role as Ben in Buffy the Vampire Slayer. He appeared in 14 episodes across 2000-2001, starring opposite Sarah Michelle Gellar and Alyson Hannigan.

He currently plays Frank Delfino, an assistant to leading lady Viola Davis's law professor, in the hit ABC drama.
