Heidi Peyman at the Disco Queens

Bonn - you did it: the pretty Bonnerin Jennifer Vogel (20) could, under the critical eye of "Germanys Next Top Model" juror Peyman Amin exist and now bears the title "Miss Dancedom."
The excitement was of course great in the Hennef disco, as the top model drove juror. And for Peyman Amin's coming, there were two reasons: Amin should act as a jury member and the next "Miss Dancedom a say and be a DJ skills to the test.
Also in the jury: the reigning Miss Cologne, Tatjana Burchardt, and Loraine Hertel, Miss and Miss NRW Cologne 2008.
And the jury was spoiled for choice. From 13 candidates who completed two passes in evening dress and bikini, she had to choose the most beautiful. After a long hour, finally got it down: The blonde Einzelhandelskauffrau Jennifer Vogel (20) was chosen as "Miss Dancedom.
"The winner is now waving a professional photo shooting and she is the face for the summer campaign of the Discoteque," said co-René Frangenberg of promotional event.

The Orthodox Christians from the Rhine

He looks like the nice grandfather next door. His gentle, calm voice gives a sense of security. German pastor W. Falter Meier knows how you approach people. He leads the small Russian Orthodox community in the drain-Mary Chapel in the heart of Cologne.
Since 1972, the German Orthodox priest. "A private decision," all he will say. The 80-year-old has two daughters and three grandchildren. There is no celibacy. The community is clear. About 350 pilgrims are coming regularly to pray.
For even more space in the small chapel would not be enough. About half of the believer comes from the Ukraine, many others are Russians. Especially at Easter, the highest holiday of the Orthodox Christians, the chapel is crowded.
But it's not just about prayer in the community. She also does something for the faithful. "We offer the example of women in the town of German language courses so that they can integrate more quickly in Germany."

Loraine shows her talisman

This is a Greek talisman given to me by my friend. Behind it lies the ancient belief that this talisman helps against fears, strong makes.
Although I am not superstitious. But it has already helped me for the flight. If anything, I kiss my talisman. That gives me strength. And with the kisses of course I am also very firm about my friend.
Our Miss East Germany's got so caught very bad. But then again, they slowly recovered from her virus infection. You can smile again.
Since I have more luck. Well, yes - my talisman halt. Today, after dinner, it gets really exciting. Boxing champion Arthur Abraham visited us.
And tomorrow we may even make him a boxing! I can hardly wait. I've been kickboxing at least once a half years. Since he has to wear veeery warm ...
Kisses from Egypt, Your Loraine

Adoptive child finds out: My father is Charles Manson

Los Angeles --
For years, adopted child knew Matthew Roberts (41) not, who are his real parents. Then he went on a search and found his mother. When she told him who was his biological father, he is devastated.
"It's as if I had found out that Adolf Hitler is my biological father." Matthew Roberts' biological father is in fact none other than serial killer and cult leader Charles Manson (75)!
To the U.S. media said Roberts: "I did not believe it at first. I was scared and angry." Its origin was cruel: Roberts' mother became pregnant by Manson, as he had raped her in 1967 during a drug binge. They released the baby up for adoption - meet until years later, mother and son back together.
The resemblance between father and son is unmistakable. Nevertheless, the differences could not be greater. Manson influenced people in his role as cult leader, made them amenable to drug and donated them to brutal murders. One of the former murder victim: the Hochschwangere Sharon Tate, wife of director Roman Polanski.
Roberts, however, is a pacifist, a vegetarian and a DJ. "I do not even kill flies. My hero is Gandhi. And I had long hair my whole life," says Roberts.
Meanwhile, Roberts has written to his father in the state prison in California, a letter. And Manson has written back to him. The signature: the swastika, also known as tattoo emblazoned on his forehead. Roberts: "He told me his phone number in prison. But I will not call. He is my biological father, because there will certainly be an emotional connection. But I do not love him - and not hate."
