WTF?!?

A 25-year-old Lebanese man was arrested earlier this week at the O.R. Tambo International Airport in South Africa after attempting to smuggle $2.3 million worth of diamonds — in his stomach!

The conniving schemer was on his way to Dubai, but his trip was quickly halted as soon as he went through the security checkpoint's scanning system, where he was then taken into custody and forced to take several laxatives to rid himself of the 220 diamonds he swallowed.

We bet his poop shined bright like a diamond. Ha!

Now this is a clothing line we can get behind.

Nelson Mandela's AIDS charity 46664 announced on Tuesday they plan to launch their own international fashion brand this year.

The line will be called 46664 Apparel, after the number Mandela wore will he was in jail, and will roll out in August at the label's very own concept store in Johannesburg, South Africa.

46664 Apparel will include everything from t-shirts to couture garments and will eventually include pieces created by international and national guest designers.

Pretty cool.
