'Breastaurant' trademark , While Hooters, Twin Peaks, the Tilted Kilt and other chain restaurants that feature bodacious waitresses in skimpy outfits have been called "breastaurants" for years, the owner of the Texas-based Bikinis Bar and Grill is the first to make it official. Doug Guller, CEO of ATX Brands LLC, which owns Bikinis Sports Bar and Grill, announced today he has trademarked the term "breastaurant" through the United States Patent and Trademark Office, meaning his company is the only one who can describe itself with the term. "We're really excited about receiving this federal trademark," Guller said in a statement. "Our team has worked hard over the last seven years to offer a unique experience to our fans. It just further solidifies that Bikinis Sports Bar & Grill is America's ONLY breastaurant." This isn't the first time Guller has made a bold statement with his restaurant chain, which now also has lo

David Cameron today weighed into the bitter row over linking the Mick Philpott arson case to the need to overhaul Britain's troubled benefits system. The Prime Minister backed Chancellor George Osborne for suggesting the tragic case raised questions about the way some people come to rely on state handouts. Mr Cameron insisted Philpott, jailed this week for starting a fire which killed six of his children, was to blame for his crimes but argued that welfare must not be seen as a 'lifestyle choice'. The political row over the Philpott case erupted after the Daily Mail pointed out that the dad-of-17 was a product of the benefits system. Yesterday Mr Osborne said there needed to be a debate 'for government and for society about the welfare state'. It provoked a storm of outrage from the Left, accusing the Chancellor of 'demeaning' his office. But today he received the defiant backing of Mr Cameron, who said Mr Osborne was 'absolutely right

Stock markets fell sharply today after weaker than expected U.S. jobs figures raised concern about the recovery in the world's largest economy.  Attention was focused on the U.S. data, which showed an increase of only 88,000 jobs in March - far below the expected rise of about 195,000. Although the unemployment rate fell to 7.6 percent from 7.7 percent, that was only because more people gave up looking for work. The graph shows the erratic increase in the number of jobs per month over the last two years Britain's FTSE 100 fell 2 percent to 6,218.9 while Germany's DAX dropped 2.2 percent to 7,651.12. France's CAC lost 2.2 percent to 3,644.89. Wall Street opened lower, with the Dow shedding 1 percent to 14,467.62 and the broader S&P 500 down by the same rate at 1,543.96. Analysts said the figures showed the U.S. recovery, which had been advancing at a good pace in recent months, would be uneven. They suggested it would be only a temporary s

A former BBC presenter is taking on the French at their own game by launching a sugar-free champagne. Amanda Thomson was inspired to create a low-calorie version of the luxury drink after her job as a showbiz reporter made her worry about gaining weight from attending VIP parties.

Ms Thomson, 40, has just signed an agreement to get her products into a top-class restaurant in the New Forest, and is hoping to bring it to leading mine merchants across the UK.

A five-year-old girl had both her ears ripped off in a savage attack by her neighbour's dogs after she wandered into her back yard. The youngster, named only as Savanna, was flown to hospital in a critical condition after suffering bite wounds on her torso and neck at her Maryland home. She has been upgraded to stable. Her family issued a statement last night through the Children’s National Medical Center in Washington saying they expected her to face an extended recovery.

Woman wins $40M, not $40K , Let's pretend you just won $40 million. Do you sprint up and down the street "like a crazy woman?" Break into a "happy dance," while holding your oversized lottery check? Celebrate by chowing down at a Chinese buffet with your family? If you're Maria Carreiro, the answer is all of the above -- and then some. The 51-year-old grandmother couldn't contain her excitement, when she talked to, sang to and danced for reporters on Monday after her big, big win. "Thank you Lord, thank you Lord!" sang the ebullient, dancing Carreiro. The Portuguese immigrant bought the ticket last Friday at Variety and Video, a store in Toronto, according to the Ontario Lottery and Gaming Corporation. It was a bit of a splurge, because she didn't "have a lot of spending money," but it was one that would change her life forever. After an initial check on Saturday morning, she excitedly told her daughter that she had won $40,000.

The boyfriend of a girl whose parents were found bludgeoned to death with a sledgehammer in their home on Tuesday has been arrested for the killings, police said. Shawn Eric Ford Jr., 18, has been accused of the brutal murders of prominent attorney Jeffrey Schobert, 56, and his 59-year-old wife, Margaret, in their home in Portage Lakes, Ohio. Their murders came just a week after one of their daughters, Chelsea Schobert, suffered stab wounds and a fractured skull in an attack at a home in Akron. She is now recovering in hospital. Police had previously speculated that the crimes could be linked. While the connection has still not been confirmed, reports reveal that Ford witnessed the attack on his girlfriend, the Akron Beacon Journal reported. The bodies of her parents were discovered by workmen carrying out renovations on the couple's house on Tuesday afternoon. Investigators found a sledgehammer on the bed in their master bedroom next to Jeffrey Schobert's bod

The creators of what was one of the world's most successful social networks have unveiled their radical new plans for what they believe represents the future of social media. And it's called a bar. Michael and Xochi Birch were major players in the development of the online social networking phenomenon, but their latest project has definitely gone offline. The husband and wife team were the founders of the Bebo website, a rival to Facebook, which at its peak was the biggest social networking website in the UK and the third most popular in the world. The couple netted a staggering £850m when they sold the site to AOL in 2008 after which its popularity waned. Back to the future: Bebo Founder Michael Birch at his new San Fransisco members-only club The Battery Now after various successful endeavours including Pinterest the scrapbooking site and a not-for-profit water charity website, they have turned their attention back to social networking, albiet with mor

As speculation swirls over whether Hillary Clinton will run for the White House in 2016, her daughter has waded in on the debate, saying that she simply wants her mother to take it easy. 'Right now, I want her to rest,' Chelsea Clinton, 33, said in an interview with Parade magazine. 'Ultimately I want her to make whatever she thinks is the right decision. I always want to help her in any way I can, because I unapologetically and unabashedly am deeply biased toward my mother.'
