The World's Sexiest People Are Armenian Women And Irish Men????

It seems that Kim Kardashian 

is having a major effect on yet another "sexiest" list. 

According to a new survey by MissTravel, a destination dating website, its customers say the world's sexiest women are from Armenia and the world's sexiest men are from Ireland. The travel site polled over 110,000 Americans to determine who they thought was sexiest; last year, Australian men and Brazilian women topped MissTravel's "hot" charts. 

We can't help but wonder if this new awareness has anything to do with a certain curvy Armenian-American recently visiting her ancestral homeland for an episode of "Keeping Up With the Kardashians."

9. Bulgarian
8. Filipina
7. Brazilian
6. Australian

The sexiest nationalities for men:

Helicopter crash in New York City kills British woman

NEW YORK CITY (BNO NEWS) -- A helicopter carrying five people crashed in New York City on late Tuesday afternoon, killing a British woman, officials said.

The accident occurred at around 3:20 p.m. local time when a privately-owned helicopter crashed into the East River after taking off from the 34th Street Heliport on Manhattan's East Side, New York Mayor Michael R. Bloomberg confirmed.

Bloomberg confirmed the death of one person, adding that all of the passengers were visiting the city from outside the country. The private helicopter was based in Linden, New Jersey although it is believed that the pilot was a foreigner as well.

According to reports, the pilot had reported having trouble keeping aloft and tried to turn back. However, he crashed into the water just north of the landing pad.

The New York Police and Fire Departments responded quickly to the incident, deploying emergency officers and Office of Emergency Management personnel who were in the immediate vicinity to the scene. Teams witnessed the helicopter inverted in the water with only its skids showing on the surface.

Police officers dove into the water and rescued three of the four passengers, Bloomberg said, adding that one of them was reported in a very critical state and two serious.

"One young woman I'm sorry to say did not make it," Bloomberg confirmed. "She was gotten out later on by the Fire Department from the helicopter and her body was recovered roughly at 4:40 this afternoon. The pilot was rescued very quickly and brought ashore."

"We pride ourselves on being the most welcoming city in the world, and we are, and to have a family come here to see and experience the best of our city and end up in a tragic accident like this just breaks your heart," Bloomberg said. "Our thoughts and prayers are with them all and their families, and we are hoping that the three people in the hospital will pull through."

The names of the people involved have not been disclosed until their families have been notified. However, preliminary reports indicate that all of them, including the pilot, were friends and were from Australia and Great Britain.

The National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) has launched an investigation into the incident.

5 Easy Ways To De-Stress

The pressures of everyday life can take a serious toll on our physical and mental well-being. Between mile-long to-do lists, family and relationship obligations, and full-time jobs, it’s easy to get so wound up, we forget to breathe and reboot. Fortunately, there are relatively simple ways to decompress—all you need to do is carve out a little “me” time. Try these tips and let the stress melt away.

1) Take a Long Bath

There are few things more relaxing than a hot bath. For an extra-soothing experience, light aromatherapy candles and add a luxurious bath oil to smooth and nourish your skin. Once you sink in, you’ll immediately start to feel the problems of the day melting away. Ahhhhhh.

2) Exercise

Okay, we know that heading to a crowded gym is probably the last thing you want to do after a grueling day at the office, but it’s also one of the most beneficial things you can do for both your body and mind. Not only does it combat countless health conditions and keep your figure svelte, exercise has been proven to significantly improve moods and reduce stress. Plus, it’s a great way to release any pent-up negative energy you may be holding onto inside.

3) Self-Massage

How can you be expected to relax your mind when your body is tense? Fortunately you don’t need a personal massage therapist to relieve tension, aches, and pains. There’s also very little technique required to give yourself a satisfying massage—just grab a bottle of body lotion or oil and get to work on your hands, feet, shoulders, or anywhere that needs a little TLC.

Who says you need to go to a spa to treat yourself? There are tons of easy, DIY therapies you can do right from your own home. Try exfoliating your skin from head to toe with a moisturizing body scrub or treat your tresses to a luxurious hair mask. You’ll not only feel better on the inside, but you’ll look better on the outside, too.

5) Put On Your Favorite Music Or Movie

When it comes down to it, relaxation is all about what makes you feel good. If it’s just one of those days (and going to the gym is just out of the question, thank you very much), sometimes just vegging out with a DVD you love or putting on your favorite tunes is a great way to unwind.
