Conjoined Twin Carmen Andrade Marries Longtime Boyfriend Daniel McCormack
"(We) should probably also address something else pretty big," Carmen, who donned a long, green, glittering dress for the ceremony, said in the clip, while holding up her left hand to the camera to show off her wedding ring. "I did get married," she said, as Lupita insisted, "I did not." The camera then panned out to show McCormack, who said, "Hi! I got an upgrade, I'm the husband now."
The 25-year-old, who is the right-sided conjoined twin of her sister Lupita, said that she had been dating for nearly five years, per the People. Addressing her outfit choice, she said, "I did not wear white. Don't regret it. I don't like white."
Carmen continued, "Before anybody gets it twisted: We got married," pointing to herself and her new husband. She insisted, "We did not get married," gesturing to the three of them, while Lupita responded, "I don't want to get married."
The conjoined twins were originally born in Mexico. Each of the women has a heart, a set of lungs and a stomach. The pair, who moved to the US when they were babies, are connected at the torso and share a pelvis and reproductive system. They each have two arms, but only one leg.

In a previous interview, Carmen spoke about meeting her boyfriend, McCormack, on Hinge. "I knew right off the bat that Daniel was different from the others, because he didn't lead with a question about my condition. I have social anxiety, and I've ended up cancelling dates at the last minute, but I felt calm on the way there," she said.
"We've discussed getting engaged, but we want to live together first. Daniel and my sister get along really well. It's funny because I stay up later than Lupita, but when Daniel sleeps over, I fall asleep quickly - and he stays up talking with her," she said at the time.
Lupita, on the other hand, shared that she is asexual. "I'm asexual, but I want Carmen to settle down. I know that's important to her," she said.
Speaking to TODAY, Carmen said that she doesn't want to have kids, however, she does like being a "dog mom". "Lupita and I can't get pregnant, we have endometriosis and we're also on a hormone blocker that prevents us from menstruating," she explained.

‘I don't believe I'll die': Tech mogul Bryan Johnson is blending AI and biology to outlive death itself
Source: YouTube Bryan Johnson , the tech entrepreneur and biohacker, has ignited global debate with his audacious claim: 'I don't believe I'll die.' In a provocative interview with WIRED, the 46-year-old founder of Braintree acquired by PayPal and neurotech company Kernel revealed his ambitious pursuit of life beyond biological limits. Johnson isn't dreaming of immortality as science fiction; he's actively building what he calls the digital and biological architecture to outpace death itself. His work focuses on AI-driven mind replication, age-reversal therapies, and brain-computer interfaces , a combination he believes could redefine what it means to be human—and even what it means to be alive—in the 21st century. Bryan Johnson is redefining mortality by building Bryan AI In his interview with WIRED , Johnson was asked if he expects to die. His answer was clear: 'False. That is not my plan.' This isn't denial; it's a calculated vision rooted in a belief that human biology is not the final frontier. He believes the future lies in a hybrid model of identity, where the biological self is only one expression and a computational or digital self can be engineered, stored, and evolved independently. This digital extension of his consciousness called Bryan AI is being trained on thousands of hours of his recorded thoughts, writings, interviews, and conversations. His ambition is to create a thinking, responsive artificial intelligence twin that embodies his memories, thought processes, values, and personality. undefined Inside Bryan Johnson's strict lifestyle designed to slow aging Bryan Johnson's daily life is dictated by Project Blueprint , a $2 million-a-year self-experiment in biological age reversal. Some key elements of his hyper-structured lifestyle include: Strict diet and intermittent fasting, with precise nutrient intake 5:00 PM bedtime followed by over 8 hours of sleep Daily data tracking from organ health to facial skin elasticity Weekly full-body MRIs and ultrasounds A dedicated team of 30+ doctors and health experts At one point, Johnson made headlines for undergoing a three-generational plasma transfusion, using blood from his teenage son in an attempt to rejuvenate his own body. Though widely criticised, this was just one of many controversial steps he's taken to slow or possibly reverse biological aging. According to Johnson's data, he has reduced his biological age by over five years, including improvements in heart, liver, and lung health. Bryan Johnson's digital twin aims to redefine human consciousness through AI What makes Johnson's vision especially radical is his claim that consciousness can be digitised. He believes AI is not just a tool but a medium through which human identity could persist beyond biological limits. 'Bryan AI' is an artificial construct trained on a lifetime of data. Johnson aims for it to: Respond like him Think like him Serve as an extension or replica of his consciousness This project is part of a broader movement toward mind uploading—an area at the intersection of AI, neuroscience, and philosophy. While critics argue that digital copies can never truly be the person, Johnson disagrees, seeing no hard barrier between biological neural patterns and artificial replication. Bryan Johnson's Kernel maps the brain to bring AI closer to consciousness In parallel with his biological experiments, Johnson's company Kernel is developing non-invasive neurotechnology that can read and interpret brain activity in real time. These high-tech helmets are designed to map thought patterns and cognitive states—creating a neural interface that could one day: Help upload memory and personality Enable brain-to-AI communication Merge human consciousness with machine intelligence To Johnson, this is a natural progression: 'Biology is version 1.0,' he says. 'Computational existence is version 2.0.' Beyond the technical details, Johnson's philosophy reorients how we think about life and death. In his words: 'The most prized asset is going to be existence. Immortality will be devalued compared to simply being.' This reframes longevity not as a means to an end (e.g., legacy or success), but as the ultimate resource. If the essence of consciousness can be preserved, it renders mortality a design problem rather than a biological inevitability. Will Bryan Johnson be the first human to outlive death?

Radio Charminar completes a decade in Hyderabad
'Hello, Salaam, Namaste Hyderabad… This is RJ Asim aur aap sun rahe hain Hyderabad Express mere saath, main aapka dost. Baatein hogi kaheen saari, aur bahut saare gaane aap sunne ke liye.... (This is RJ Asim and you are listening to Hyderabad Express with me, your friend)'' That is how radio jockey Asim Abedi, who took over as RJ eight years ago greets his listeners from the recording studio at Radio Charminar — Dil Se Hyderabadi, a community radio station tucked away in the heart of the city. On the second floor of the Ahle Bait Institute in Yakutpura, this modest yet lively station was launched in October 2015 by Hasan Rehmatullah and his son Zain. Sharing space with the bustling campus of Ahle Bait School and Junior College, Radio Charminar will celebrate its 10th anniversary this October. Raising awareness Operating at 107.8 MHz, Radio Charminar broadcasts programmes that educate, inform, entertain and raise awareness — all within a seven-kilometre radius. 'Our focus is on topics like health, women's empowerment, and preserving Hyderabad's history and food culture,' says Shaik Irfan Ahmed, system administrator and scheduling head, who has been with the station since its inception. Over the years, the station has tackled everything from child marriage awareness to reviving fading folk traditions. One of their standout shows, Dholak ke Geet, spotlighted wedding folk songs and found a wider audience on their YouTube channel. The platform gives voice to diverse local communities. Whether it is live sessions in community halls or expert-led studio recordings, the goal is to 'discuss and disseminate,' says RJ Asim, station manager and programming head. Their talk shows, often sponsored by UNICEF to mark days like World Health Day or World Water Day, are interactive and community-led. During the COVID-19 lockdown, their call-in show became a lifeline. 'Our former RJ Nazaakat lived on-site and anchored the shows,' Irfan recalls. 'People would say, 'Chidiya bhi par nahin maar sakti thi, magar aapne humein zinda rakha' — even birds couldn't fly freely, but you kept us alive through entertainment.' While the radio tower's transmitter has a 200-watt capacity, they are licensed for 50 watts, reaching listeners across Talabkatta, Riyasat Nagar, Malakpet, Chaderghat, DRDL, Saidabad, and even as far as Shamshabad in car radios. One popular morning show, Salaam Hyderabad by RJ Saaniya, blends health, lifestyle, and personal reflections. 'We have talked about everything — from breaking the habit of overthinking to why kids don't respect parents anymore. Even something like nail-biting gets people calling in,' says Saaniya, who joined after a 16-year stint with ETV Urdu Two of their RJs — Neetu from Sikkim and Dolly from Jaipur — host weekly shows remotely. Both army wives, they joined the station while posted in Hyderabad and stayed on even after relocating. Finances remain tight, with only government ads and limited funding. But as Radio Charminar approaches its 10-year milestone, the team remains hopeful. One plan includes reviving Guzishta Hyderabad, a beloved show by station director Allama Aijaz Farrukh, with a nostalgic focus on Hyderabad.

Pamela Anderson caught kissing Liam Neeson on red carpet
On the red carpet at the London premiere of their film, The Naked Gun, which opens in theaters on August 1, the Baywatch alumna shared a cute PDA moment with her co-star. Pamela, who was wearing a gorgeous deep purple strapless dress and bold chain earrings, put a gentle hand on Liam's chest during the July 22 outing before leaning in and giving him a tender peck on the cheek. The Taken actor, dressed in a black T-shirt, grey suit coat, and matching pants, smiled as he put an arm around his co-star's back and accepted the gesture. Additionally, Liam previously shared details about the unique bond he formed with Pamela while filming The Naked Gun, even going so far as to say that he fell "madly in love with her." However, the couple has not addressed whether the kiss was just between friends or something more. In an interview with People in November 2024, the Schindler's List star said, "She's just terrific to work with." "I'll be honest with you, I can't say enough good things about her." Live Events Pamela has "no huge ego" and "just comes in to do the work," Liam continued, adding that their dynamic felt natural. "She's funny and so easy to work with," Liam said. She will play a fantastic role in the movie. His remarks were echoed by Pamela, who at the time told People that her costar was a "perfect gentleman." She went on, "He brings out the best in you," "Working with him was a true honor." Although they both admire each other, Liam, who has two sons with his late wife Natasha Richardson, Daniel Neeson, 28, and Micheál Neeson, 29, previously acknowledged that he was done dating. In fact, in an interview with People in October 2024, the actor responded, "No, in a word," when asked if he had any romantic relationships in the works. I'm over all of that. And after divorcing her fifth husband, Dan Hayhurst, in 2022, Pamela, who has two sons with her ex-boyfriend Tommy Lee, Brandon Lee, 29, and Dylan Jagger Lee, 27, said the same thing. In her 2023 documentary Pamela, a Love Story, the former Playboy model stated, "I think I'd rather be alone than not be with the father of my kids." I don't think I could be with Tommy, but I also don't think it's possible to be with anyone else. It resembles a form of punishment.
