Gaga's Tribute to Alexander McQueen

British fashion designer Alexander McQueen hanged himself after taking a mixture of cocaine, tranquillizers and sleeping pills, the inquest into his death concluded.

According to the BBC, the London inquest was told that the world famous designer was under pressure from work and was "overwhelmed with grief" at the death of his mother Joyce.

The 40-year-old's body was found in his London residence on February 11, the eve of his mother's funeral.

"The balance of his mind was disturbed," the BBC quoted coroner Paul Knapman as saying. He recorded a suicide verdict.

Don't Mess With Ernestine Shepherd

73, Ernestine Shepherd is in better shape than most people decades her junior. Up at 3 a.m. every morning, she spends her days running, lifting weights and working out other senior citizens at the Union Memorial United Methodist Church in Baltimore. She also works as a certified personal trainer at her gym.

"I feel better than I did at 40," she said. "I am very, very happy."

In less than 20 years, Shepherd has morphed from a "prissy" woman who never exercised to the Guinness Book of World Records' oldest female bodybuilder.

A die-hard "Rocky" fan -- "Sylvester Stallone is my man," she cooed -- Shepherd is preparing for a body building competition this weekend.

"I feel now that I am a very strong, positive and confident woman," she said. "Years ago I concerned myself about what people said concerning me. But when you get 70-something and you don't have that many years in front of you, you don't concern yourself with that."
