Czech Men Wage Legal Battle Over Fake Land
Actor Bolek Polivka is suing his former business partner Tomas Harabis over the rights to the Wallachian Kingdom. Only the Wallachian Kingdom isn't on a map — it exists in a magical land, far, far away and was founded by Tomas and some friends as a joke.
The Wallachian Kingdom shows up on tourist maps in the south-east corner of Moravia, which is part of the Czech Republic.

World's Fattest Countries Revealed
Did you know that there are currently 1.6 billion overweight adults in the world?
Forget all this small city talk, the World Health Organization (WHO) ranks the countries with the greatest percentage of overweight people of its adult population (ages 15+).
The United States used to take the cake (no pun intended) on this list but experts say it is not surprising that people across the globe are increasingly becoming overweight.
German Faces Five Years in Prison For Holocaust Denial
The trial of a 72-year-old former left-wing terrorist group founder, and current neo-Nazi, began today in Germany. Horst Mahler is accused of posting documents online denying the Holocaust. Mahler likes trouble, as he received an 11-month sentence last year for delivering the Nazi salute at his prison booking for a previous conviction.
Model of the Week: Hana Soukupová
It's been a long time since I first spoke with Hana Soukupová, the Czech model who's one of the most in-demand people. While backstage at the Victoria's Secret fashion show, I had a few seconds to talk beauty with her (and of course, Fab got her fashion thoughts).
Even though Hana is about to turn 23, she looks like she could pass for 14.
Becks Still Looks Nice In and Out of Those England Whites
David Beckham brought out those super cute sons of his to watch the friendly match between England and the Czech Republic at Wembley Stadium in London yesterday. While the boys showed off their oversized hats, they cheered on their dad before he's off to Beijing for the closing ceremony this weekend. While honoring Becks has taken new musical heights it doesn't sound like he's headed for the stage anytime soon.
Which Countries Are Most Corrupt? Not New Zealand, Denmark
Money could very well be the root of all evil — though in the latest study of corrupt countries, it's actually the lack of money that sparks trouble. The new report by Transparency International found that in two-fifths of the world's nations, corruption continues to intensify — a trend that can be traced to economic realities. In the countries found to be the most corrupt, 40 percent are classified by the World Bank as low income.

Kylie Continues to Impress in Prague
Lovely Kylie Minogue rocked another laid-back outfit as she enjoyed a meal at luxury restaurant Kampa Park in Prague yesterday. She's moving on from the Czech Republic to Austria as she takes her KYLIEX2008 show to Vienna this evening, but Kylie can rest easy that her presence is still felt in the UK while she's busy touring — Pop Idol winner Michelle McManus will be performing "Better the Devil You Know" at Blackpool Pride on Saturday. Michelle said she won't be wearing the gold hotpants though and I don't blame her — I wouldn't have the guts (or the bum) either!
World's Healthiest Countries
You may think that you live in a pretty healthy country, but do you really?
Forbes.com has done some research by examining statistics per country such as pollution, the percentage of a country's population with access to improved drinking water and sanitation, infant mortality rates, the rate of prevalence of tuberculosis, the density of physicians per 1,000 people, undernourishment rates, and healthy life expectancy for men at birth to find how countries rank, healthwise.
