Five months ago, Psy's "Gangnam Style" premiered on YouTube. One month ago, it became the most-viewed clip in the site's history. And on Friday (December 21), it officially crossed the one-billion mark in total views — the first video to break that barrier — capping a whirlwind ride unlike any in recent memory. So it's sort of understandable that, when MTV News spoke to Psy about reaching 1 billion views, well, he was having a difficult time coming up with the appropriate adjectives to describe the accomplishment. Because, like we said, no one's done this before. "I can't compare it to anything else!" he laughed. "In 2012, I experienced so many things; it's been a tremendous year, but to accomplish this, it's really something that stands out. Because it all began with YouTube, and to have [the video] reach 1 billion views ... I don't think even I can break that record!" Source: MTV NEWS

Mexican Marquez, 39, floored Pacquiao, who lay motionless on the canvas for some time, for a first win over the Filipino in their four-match rivalry. Pacquiao, 33, had won the previous two encounters, with one draw. It was a second successive defeat for Pacquiao after a controversial loss to Timothy Bradley in June. Pacquiao had already been down in the third round - the first time in 39 rounds between the two that the eight-weight world champion was knocked from his feet - as Marquez threw a right hook over the top. But Pacquiao recovered to ground Marquez in the fifth and the pair were exchanging heavy blows in the sixth. However, with one second of the round remaining, a bloodied Marquez threw a huge overhand right that had Pacquiao out cold before he hit the canvas u

In an nationwide address, barely 12 hours into Friday’s elections the president said the election is “only a contest between competing policies and must not set families and ethnic groups apart.” “Let us remember that Ghana is bigger and more important than any of us,” he stressed. He charged all voters to go into the elections tomorrow in an atmosphere of peace and tranquility. “The youth must be law abiding and do nothing to disrupt the activities of the security services,” he advised. He said he has done every thing required of him as the president and Commander-in-chief of the Ghana Armed Forces and hoped the security personnel will be up to the task. He prayed for absolute peace in the elections. But some critics, especially from the opposition New Patriotic Party are accusing the president of abusing incumbency.

A young woman had her head chopped off for refusing to prostitute herself - and one of the killers was her mother-in-law, police say. The other was the mother-in-law's cousin.  And both admit it, according to Afghan police. To most people, the slaying of 20-year-old Mah Gul is unimaginable. But it's just "one more incident that highlights the violent atmosphere that women and girls face in Afghanistan and the region," Suzanne Nossel, executive director of Amnesty International USA, said Thursday. The killing happened Sunday in Herat province, in southwest Afghanistan along the Iranian border. Gul's husband is a baker.  When he left home for work, his mother and her cousin tried to force the young wife into prostitution, said Noorthan Mikvad, spokesman for Herat police. When she wouldn't do it, they beheaded her, he said. In a statement, Nossel said women and girls in the region "are raped, killed, forced into marriage in childhood, preven

http://uk.eurosport.yahoo.com/news/terry-verdict-expected-thursday-065703043.html Chelsea captain John Terry has been banned for four matches by the FA for racially abusing Queens Park Rangers defender Anton Ferdinand. The former England skipper – who retired from international football on the eve of the hearing at the FA's Wembley headquarters – has also been fined £220,000 after being found guilty of the charge by an independent regulatory panel. Terry was adjudged to have used "abusive and/or insulting words and/or behaviour" towards Ferdinand which included "a reference to colour and/or race contrary to FA Rule E3[2]" during Chelsea's 1-0 Premier League defeat at Loftus Road on October 23, 2011. The legal team acting for the 31-year-old, who has always denied the charge, has confirmed that they will appeal against the decision, reached after a four-day hearing.

DES MOINES, Iowa — Republican Mitt Romney is struggling in swing-state Iowa at a perilous point: just as voters here start casting early ballots in the presidential race. President Barack Obama has a clear lead in Iowa opinion polls, helped by the fact that the state's economy is far more robust than other battleground states. The president's polling edge is so wide it has prompted grumbling among Iowa Republicans who fault Romney for failing to take advantage of Obama's standing, which had been weakened in the four years since Iowa launched his bid for the White House in 2008. "There still is time to win, but we are in the fourth quarter," said Nick Ryan, a veteran Iowa Republican strategist who was a top adviser to Pennsylvania Sen. Rick Santorum's caucus campaign. Iowa is hardly the largest prize in the race for 270 Electoral College votes. But the six it offers could be pivotal if the race is close. Iowans on Thursday can begin voting in person
