Yuck! It's like a horrible cross between Black Swan, Showgirls, & Shattered Glory: The Tonya Harding and Nancy Kerrigan Story!

A Russian ballet dancer named Pavel Dmitrichenko overcome with anger and jealous allegedly masterminded an atrocious attack against one of his rivals, paying two thugs to splash his face with sulfuric acid!

Unfortunately, this sad tale wasn't torn from the pages of a hot new production — it really happened!

The victim, Bolshoi Artistic Director Sergei Filin, suffered third-degree burns and may lose his vision!

Pavel, who apparently already admitted guilt to

Simply. Stunning.

Maria Sharapova has always been a beautiful woman, but when we see her in these locales for the cover and spread in the March 2013 issue of Conde Nast Traveller Russia, we can't help but drop our jaws!

Here's what she said about it on Facebook!

And here we were, just finally getting comfortable and laughing about all of that 12-21-2012, Mayan apocalypse craziness!

Guess we're not out of the woods yet, folks!

Well, okay, we all know it's NOT the end of days, but this is certainly crazy and scary enough to at least get your head scratching!

What was projected to be a ten-ton meteor entered the Earth's atmosphere over the Ural Mountains in Russia early this morning, traveling past the speed of sound at 33,000 miles-per-hour before shattering into pieces 32 miles above the ground over the Chelyabinsk region…all of which resulted in a MASSIVE shockwave that blew out one million square feet of glass and left 985 people, 204 of them schoolchildren, injured!

Stranger yet?

This comes less than A DAY BEFORE an asteroid, identified as 2012DA14, is apparently going to miss hitting Earth by about 17,150 miles - the closest recorded pass EVER!

Local resident Serget Hametov explained:

"There was panic. People had no idea what was happening. We saw a big burst of light, then went outside to see what it was and we heard a really loud, thundering sound."

Luckily, most

So sad….it's hard losing a mother, whether you are human or tiger or any other species.

Three orphaned four month old tiger babes lost their mama and they were rescued from Siberia in late November.

The cubbies caused a stir when they attempted to snack on a farmer's dog as they searched for food.

This is HUGE news, you guys!!

Did you know that Russia is the second largest tobacco market in the WORLD? China's got them beat, for sure, but being #2 on a list like that is nothing to be proud of!

Well, we'll tell you what IS something to be proud of: Russian lawmakers just backed a law which would ban smoking in bars, cafes and other public spaces to promote healthier living!

Cow tipping just got crazier!

Cattle trucks are extremely cramped and not the most comfortable place to be in, so when a trailer full of unsuspecting cows flipped over in Russia, we were in awe over how unsafe the big wheelers truly are.

In the video (above), the truck is seen falling over and then sending the poor cows on a giant slide… but the crazy thing is, they quickly bounced back from their topple!!

Ch-ch-check out the cray video, and don't be surprised if you scream HOLY COW!
