During a preliminary hearing, baby Kristopher’s father, Orlando Vasquez, testified that Posada referred to the infant as a gay slur and had never wanted the child. Vasquez and Reno police detectives testified Posada admitted to them she struck the baby when she was angered by his crying. Posada has an older daughter who was 15-months old when Kristopher died after Posada said she had put him to sleep in his crib. Deputy District Attorney Elliott Sattler said the girl was healthy and well cared for, and that she is in the custody of relatives. Vasquez testified he was trying to get custody of his son and that Posada wouldn’t let him see the boy. At the time of the baby’s death, Posada had been working as a housekeeper for an apartment complex on Kuenzli Street, where she also lived with her children. Sattler said when Posada discovered her baby had died, she waited 45 minutes before a friend called police. She also did not seek medical attention for the child. He said an autopsy showed the underweight baby had injuries to his brain that were consistent with shaking, that both of his retinas were detached, and that he suffered several rib fractures, a broken femur, had whiplash, spinal cord injuries, and first and second-degree burns on his abdomen and groin area. The autopsy also showed that the injuries dated from the time he was born until the day he died. A teenage girl who babysat Kristopher testified that he was always screaming and shrieking as if he were in severe pain. Posada blamed the boy’s burn blisters on “diaper rash,” the girl said.There are no words. Our hearts ache. Sidebar: This pathetic excuse for a human being faces life in prison.

This. Is. The. Face. Of. Evil.
Man Regrows Foreskin
When the doctor was no help, he turned to the Internet, which suggested the circumcision he'd had as a baby had taken away nerve cells. So, Low created a homemade foreskin-growing device that he now builds and sells with his family. On Sunday, April 3, TLC follows Low's journey in the second season of its 10-episode series, "Strange Sex," which explores mysterious medical conditions, fetishes and the science behind sexual attraction. Low contends that circumcised men have lost a large area of tissue. "It's highly innervated with dense-packing pleasure receptors," he said....Low was so desperate to undo his own circumcision that in April 2001, after reading online about other attempts to regrow foreskin, he took matters into his own hands. "It might make my sexual experience better," said Low, who taped up his penis every morning after a shower and took the tape off only to urinate or to have sex with his wife. When he told his wife, her reaction was "This sounds ridiculous -- is this an April Fool's joke?" Low himself was cynical. "I thought it must be an elaborate Internet hoax, or everyone's doing it," he said. He started with a 35 mm film canister and tucked in the glans with lotion, then taped it up. "Moisture is what's needed to be rejuvenated," said Low. Like a Band-Aid applied to the skin's surface, the taping forced the penis to shed epithelial cells, and the skin became more tender to the touch. It also stretched the tissue. Plastic surgeons use similar techniques when expanding tissue to be grafted to another part of the body, according to Low. "In a few months, I noticed changes," he said. Eventually, Low created his own soft silicone device, that was conical in shape and tapered to allow skin to regrow, and was comfortable to wear. "It comes off instantly and takes under a minute to put back on," Low said, laughing. "But you're a stall guy now, not a urinal guy." Today, years later, Low's new tissue is still there and very sensitive, he said. He sells a kit of what he calls TLC Tuggers for $60 on eBay, which is where the television producers found him. Now, Low is pushing for a legal ban on male circumcision before a child is old enough to consent, and has joined the Stop Circumcision Society to march on Washington. "I would like to be put out of business," he said.While the American Academy of Pediatrics has remained neutral on the issue, the rate of circumcisions in the United States has dropped significantly in the past three years, from 56 percent in 2006 to 33 percent in 2009, according to a recent review of data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. (Sidebar: The TLC special will also feature a woman who has two vaginas.)

Missing Bronx Zoo Cobra Captured
The poisonous Egyptian cobra that vanished from its quarters at the Bronx zoo last Thursday has been found alive coiled up in a dark corner of the Reptile House at about 9am during one of three daily sweeps by a half-dozen zoo workers. Using special tongs and hooks, they easily apprehended the deadly 20-inch-long snake. The cobra will eventually go on exhibit - which should be a big draw, given its notoriety. The Egyptian cobra's venom is so deadly that it can kill a full-grown elephant in three hours -- or a person in about 15 minutes, according to wildlife experts. The venom destroys nerve tissue and causes paralysis and death due to respiratory failure. Officials from the zoo say they were confident the pencil-thin 20-inch-long reptile was still somewhere in the House of Reptiles, not roaming the city.
Snakey-Snakey: Boy are we glad AccuWeather's meteorologist Jim Kosek (who's off his meds) didn't find the cobra. Crisis averted.

Man Gets 3 Years in Prison For Sex With 7 Sheep
The complainant, he said, reared sheep at his backyard and for some time now, some of his animals had been dying mysteriously. “Within a month, seven of the sheep died,” Chief Inspector Baffour Kyei told the court. Last Friday, March 25, at about 12 midnight, Adamu heard one of the sheep bleating in the pen which compelled him out of the room to see what was wrong. He said the complainant got closer to the pen and as he was approaching it, he saw a pair of bathroom sandals in front of the pen and a towel hanging on it. “When the complainant entered the pen, he found one of the sheep lying very weak. He lifted it up to ascertain what had happened to it only to see some whitish fluid emitting from the vulva,” he told the court. The complainant was shocked after seeing the spectacle and decided to look round with a flash light to see who might have entered the pen. The complainant surprisingly found Amable hiding in the backyard garden behind the pen, with his penis dangling. Realising that he had been caught, the convict knelt down and started to plead with the complainant to forgive him for abusing the animal. He also pleaded with the complainant not to disclose the information to anybody. Chief Inspector Baffour Kyei said even though the complainant initially acceded to the convict’s request, he later changed his mind and reported the matter to the police.Kwaku told police during his first sexual encounter with a sheep, he used a condom but during subsequent rapings, he didn't. The sheep probably developed infections, similar to the hogs who died after they were raped by this pervert.

Grandson Stuffs Dead Granny's Body into Closet So He Could Have Sex on Her Bed
An East Harlem granny was found dead in a bedroom closet on Wednesday - after relatives walked in on her grandson having sex with a woman in the same room, police sources said. Two concerned relatives walked into the apartment at the Wagner Houses on E. 124th St. shortly before 11 a.m. They hadn't heard from 76-year-old Cora Davis for two days. They opened the bedroom door to find her grandson Larry Davis, 21, having sex with a 20-year-old woman on the bed. "Where's Mama? Where's Mama?" a relative asked Larry Davis, according to the sources. An argument erupted. One of the relatives threatened to call police, and Davis ran off. The woman he was having sex with - who has a prostitution bust on her record - stayed behind. Cops arrived and searched the apartment, finding Cora Davis' body crammed in the bedroom's closet under a pile of clothes, the sources said. The city medical examiner was trying last night to determine the cause of death. Sources said investigators found signs of hemorrhaging around Davis' eyes that suggest she may have been strangled. "I was here when [Larry] left," said neighbor Angel Rodriguez, 56. "I saw him go out of the building. He didn't seem upset." Law enforcement sources said there were several domestic incident reports filed at the home, but none involved violence. The elderly woman also had an order of protection against her grandson. Neighbors said they'd witnessed Davis' drug-addled grandson getting hauled out in cuffs before. "It's just a horrible thing because she was a lovely lady," said close friend Dorothea Sadler, 81. "She didn't bother anybody." Sadler said Davis had lived in the building for more than 40 years. "She was a beautiful woman," Rodriguez said. "I knew her most of my life." Larry Davis, who is still being sought by police, has prior arrests that include drug possession and assault. He was arrested early this month for trespassing. An arrest warrant was issued after he failed to appear in court to answer the trespassing charge.If you know this ingrate, please call the cops.

Whitney Houston Pulls Bobbi Kristina Out of Drug Rehab, Looks to Dionne Warwick For Help: report
"....Whitney pulled Krissi out of the program after one day because she was afraid of what Krissi would tell the other addicts in group sessions," the source revealed. "Krissi has been fighting rehab anyway, saying she's not addicted to cocaine.According to the report, Whitney has heeded Dionne's advice and is spending more time at home with Bobbi Kristina because "she knows she has to keep Krissi as close as she can or the problems could get even worse." No word yet if any of this (including her brief stint in rehab) will be part of Bobbi Kristina's eagerly awaited reality show.
Whitney feared that her rebel daughter would reveal secrets about their dysfunctional family while in theraphy, said the source....After yanking Krissi out of rehab, Whitney begged her 70-year-old cousin for help, said the source.
"Whitney had seen Dionne on 'Celebrity Apprentice' and was impressed with how she kept her cool. So she put out a call to her," the source revealed. "Dionne agreed to help, and she told Whitney straight out that she may be a movie and singing star, but she's got to spend more time at home. Most importantly, she needs to get more involved with her daughter!' She also told Whitney that Whitney had to step up as a single mom. Dionne told her, 'Krissi needs you. You're her only hope.'"
Grammy winner Dionne -- famous for the '60s hits "Walk on By" and "I Say a Little Prayer" -- blames Bobby for getting Whitney hooked on hard drugs, said another source, and thinks he's a bad influence on Krissi.
"Dionne very brutally told Whitney to keep Krissi away from Bobby," the source divulged. "She also thinks Krissi wasn't disciplined enough while she was growing up, and Dionne advised Whitney to take action right now or she may end up wasting years in a drug haze."

Lady Can't Close Eyes, Sues Plastic Surgeon
In 2005, Marilyn Leisz a plastic surgery fiend from New Jersey (The How You Doin' State) says she went to a surgeon named Paul Parker to have a procedure to correct bumps on her eyelids from a surgery performed by another doctor, but now she can't close her eyes to blink or sleep and has to use a number of drops and gels to ensure her eyes are not damaged or her vision impaired. Due to the problems, she's unable to play tennis, racquetball or go swimming, horseback riding, bike riding, skeet shooting, or gardening. Poor thing. So, she's filed a negligence lawsuit against Dr Parker seeking unspecified damages. Marilyn says she's able to correct the problem, but is afraid to undergo more surgery. Girl, look down!

Lady Falls into Sinkhole For Second Time
Clara Chapman, 47, was gardening in her yard in Plant City, Fla. on Monday when the ground gave way beneath her feet and she fell into a seven-foot sinkhole. She dialed 911, threw the phone out of the sinkhole and begged for help. This isn't the first time Clar fell in a sinkhole. About a year ago she Carla fell in a sinkhole on the other side of the house where she trapped for almost two hours until a neighbor heard her yell and came and got her out.

Biological Female Spends $8000 on Surgery to Look Like a Drag Queen
Collagen, who counts Lily Savage and 80s group Dead or Alive singer Pete Burns among her idols has also bought elaborate wigs and revealing low-cut dresses. The young woman said: "I've admired drag queens since I was a little girl. They're glamorous and beautiful - what woman wouldn't want to look like that? I have a couple of different wigs that I wear when I go out, and people are always assuming I'm a transvestite. I love it when people mistake me for a man. It doesn't offend me - I think drag queens look fantastic. Collagen spends at least three hours getting ready for a night out - and her huge blonde wig and elaborate make-up are so difficult to put on, she has to be helped by her make-up artist friend. She added: "I'm saving up for more surgery. I love being plastic. I can't wait until I've got enough for liposuction and to have some ribs removed - so I can fit into even smaller corsets, but I want a breast enlargement too. I have my lips plumped up with collagen injections every few months. I've always been fascinated by the elaborate clothes and make up that drag queens wear." Collagen said her mother had many friends who were drag queens when she was growing up and she always wanted to be like them. She said: "As a child, I used to love dressing up as Boy George and when I was a bit older, I used to enter talent contests as Cher. When I started secondary school, I got quite badly bullied, and I grew to hate the way I looked. From the age of about 12, I was desperate to have surgery and change my appearance. A lot of people have made fun of me and treat me like a bit of a freak, especially when I was at school - but I don't let them bother me now. I just get on with my own life, and concentrate on being happy." Collagen, who is now trying to launch a singing career, admitted that some of her friends and family are not accepting of her look. She added: "My partner, Ally, is a lot more reserved than I am - sometimes I think she wishes I'd tone it down a bit. She worries about my health and doesn't like me having surgery. But I love who I am - and I'll carry on trying to look like a drag queen."Girl, as Lady Gaga says: Don't be a drag. Just a queen.

Obese Man Stuck in Chair for Two Years; Skin Was Fused to Chair, Infested With Maggots
This is the absolutely saddest and most gut-wrenching thing you'll hear today. Last Sunday, police officers in Bellaire, Ohio had to cut a 43-year-old obese man out of a chair, which he was stuck in for two years. His skin had become attached to the fabric of the chair and he he was sitting in his own feces and urine and maggots were everywhere. The thing is: Two other able-bodied people lived in the home -- another man, who had a separate bedroom, and the girlfriend of the man who was stuck in the chair. Police were called after he was non-responsive; he was taken to the hospital where he's since died. According to reports, the man insisted on living his life in the chair. (He was not forced to live confined to the chair, with no access to hygiene.) We could be wrong, but we say the obese man's girlfriend was having relations with the roommate.

12-Year-Old Gives Birth During School Trip
"Neither the girl nor her family had realised she was pregnant, and there were no external signs to show it," a spokesman for the health services said, adding he did not know how many months pregnant the girl had been. The girl, from Groningen in the north of the Netherlands, was on a day out on Tuesday last week with her classmates where she began to feel violent stomach pains, the spokesman said. A supervisor thought the pains suspicious and alerted the emergency services. When ambulance staff arrived they saw the girl was on the point of giving birth and rushed her to a nearby building where she had her baby. Both "are doing well" in the maternity ward of a Groningen hospital, the spokesman said. A social worker has been charged with looking after the welfare of the baby, he said, adding that this was standard practice in the Netherlands in such cases.According to additional reports, the girl, who was 11 when she got pregnant, was removed from her home and placed in foster care. She refuses to name the father. Social services say the girl "may be in an unsafe environment" at home. They have reason for concern: Her father was previously convicted of abusing an older sister.

Rihanna: 'I Like to Be Spanked. Being Tied Up is Fun'
Sexting: Rihanna is unattached. "I'm not dating," she says. "I'm not sexing, I'm not even sexting. It's on complete nil." She says she hasn't been with anyone since breaking up with Dodgers slugger Matt Kemp, which went down before the public found out in December, so it's been at least four months since she got any action. "You think you're disappointed?" she says. "Try being in this body." Still, she says, there are alternatives. "When you're not with the person you want to be intimate with, a picture is the next best thing. Well, Skype is safer. But a picture lasts a long time. When you're alone, and those horny moments come up, pictures can be very handy." That said, she adds, "I haven't gotten a dick picture in a long time. I think people are a little afraid. It can turn out bad."
Little Lady: "I like to take charge, but I love to be submissive," she says. "Being submissive in the bedroom is really fun. You get to be a little lady, to have somebody be macho and in charge of your shit. That's sexy to me. I work a lot, and I have to make a lot of executive decisions, so when it comes to being intimate, I like to feel like I'm somebody's girl." What else does she like? "I like to be spanked. Being tied up is fun. I like to keep it spontaneous. Sometimes whips and chains can be overly planned – you gotta stop, get the whip from the drawer downstairs. . . . I'd rather have him use his hands." She goes on to recount a recent trip to a sex shop in Sydney called the Toolshed, where she left with two full bags of whips, blindfolds and dildos. The takeaway? "Don't go to a sex store tipsy."
Sweet Basil: Rihanna is actually her middle name. (It comes from the Arabic for "sweet basil.") Her real name is Robyn, and that's what most of her friends and family still call her. "I get kind of numb to hearing Rihanna, Rihanna, Rihanna," she says. "When I hear Robyn, I pay attention."This interview sounds like we should check out. As soon as we get our hands on a copy of the magazine, we'll update this post. In the meantime, let's all gaze at her glittery booty and get into this video we've been dying to show you forever....
First Kiss: When it came to boys, she was a late bloomer. "My first kiss was in high school, and it was the worst thing ever. He pretty much dumped his entire saliva glands into my mouth. It traumatized me. I didn't kiss for, like, ever."
Appetite: There is a place is called Giorgio Baldi, and it's her favorite restaurant in Los Angeles, maybe even the world. If she's home for a week, which is rare, she might eat here four or five times. She usually gets the spaghetti and sometimes the gnocchi. Tonight, she gets both.
Beauty Secret: "It's disgusting how gorgeous she is," Katy Perry says. "Anytime I introduce my friends to her, male or female, the ride back always consists of, 'What, does she drink the blood of virgins?'"
Chart Topper: Rihanna released her first single, the bubbly dancehall jam "Pon de Replay," when she was just 17. Since then she's put out a remarkable five albums in six years, for combined sales of 7 million. Eighteen of her songs have reached the Top 10; among female performers, only Whitney, Madonna, Janet and Mariah have more. If her latest single, "S&M," tops the charts like it looks it could, it would be her 10th Number One – more than Beyoncé and Lady Gaga combined.
Sense of Humor: She's trying to learn Italian – she got Rosetta Stone for Christmas – but right now, her foreign-language vocabulary consists mostly of swear words. She loves Jonah Hill and Michael Cera (although she calls them "the fat guy" and "the other guy"), and she says cheerfully that she's trying to appreciate her body while she can, because she knows "butt and tits" are the first to go.
Quirks: "I hate the sound of metal on metal. And if something isn't even, it weirds me out – like if my girlfriend hits me on the right side of my butt, it feels numb on the left." She cracks her knuckles. She's a compulsive boob-grabber. She's seen the movie Due Date literally eight times this week.
Fun Facts: She loves going to the grocery store and cooking for herself; enjoys a nice chardonnay at the end of the day; forgoes weed (or at least claims to); and has a killer story about getting blackout drunk on bathtub moonshine while on vacation in Mexico. She digs true-crime reality shows like Beyond Scared Straight and Snapped ("about women who snap"), and she says the last book she read was called Mafia Princess. She's also chronically late and doesn't have a driver's license, but otherwise is as down-to-earth and un-diva-like as anyone with 1,500 pairs of shoes can be.
'Robyn Red Breast': When she was about 15, Rihanna won her school's beauty pageant, and a talent show with a performance of Mariah Carey's "Hero." She always knew she wanted to be a pop star. She used to go around singing Whitney Houston and "A Whole New World" into her hairbrush; the neighbors called her Robyn Red Breast because she sang so much.
Right is Right, Wrong is Wrong: Rihanna says that if it weren't for singing she might have been a psychologist, and she certainly has a deep sense of empathy. "I actually feel really bad for my father," she says. He was abused too – he got beat up by his stepdad when he was young. He has resentment toward women, because he felt like his mom never protected him, and unfortunately, my mother was the victim of that. I'm not giving him excuses. Right is right and wrong is wrong. I still blame him. But I understand the source."
Pain: "I do think I'm a bit of a masochist," she says this evening. "It's not something I'm proud of, and it's not something I noticed until recently. I think it's common for people who witness abuse in their household. They can never smell how beautiful a rose is unless they get pricked by a thorn." She thinks it explains her attraction to tattoos (14 and counting, including a skull with a pink hair bow on her left Achilles, a pistol on her right rib cage and the words Never a Failure, Always a Lesson on her collarbone), as well as her "love-hate relationship" with the media, and the fact that the darkest moments of her life are out there for public consumption. "When I think about it, I really do take some pleasure in the negativity," she says. "I don't want to say turned on by it – but I'm turned on by it."
Fronting: In the months that followed [the assault], Rihanna says, "I put my guard up so hard. I didn't want people to see me cry. I didn't want people to feel bad for me. It was a very vulnerable time in my life, and I refused to let that be the image. I wanted them to see me as, 'I'm fine, I'm tough.' I put that up until it felt real."
Chris Brown: "[Chris Brown and I] don't have to talk again ever in my life. I just didn't want to make it more difficult for him professionally. What he did to me was a personal thing – it had nothing to do with his career. Saying he has to be a hundred feet away from me, he can't perform at awards shows – that definitely made it difficult for him. That was the only thing it was going to change, so I didn't care. But you can never please people. One minute I'm being too hard, and the next minute I'm a fool because I'm not being hard enough."

Wealthy Old Lady Pick-Pockets Chinese People Because She Hates Them
A well-off Florida senior citizen has been pickpocketing her way through Chinatown, prosecutors charge -- targeting pedestrians for robbery as soon as she gets out of court. "I hate Chinese people," Ha Vasko, 67 -- a former war refugee from Vietnam -- explained to cops when she was busted on March 21, her fourth such arrest and the third that came right after she faced a judge. "They sell fake stuff, take the money and send the money back home," Vasko told the officers, according to a confession made public yesterday. "They get benefit cards and they don't contribute anything back. So I take their money and give it to people who need it. I give it to homeless people who need it," Vasko claimed. A retired restaurateur, Vasko owns a $400,000 home in Melbourne, Fla., with her retired-businessman husband, John. But on an afternoon in June, she was busted at Canal and Mulberry streets after allegedly unzipping a woman's fanny pack and lifting $500. That led to just the first of her four open felony indictments -- a crime spree so unusual, it came to the attention of the Manhattan DA's crime-strategies unit, which targets serial offenders. Prosecutors say that each time Vasko travels here from Florida for a court date, she walks straight from the lower Manhattan courthouse to nearby Chinese neighborhoods, where she's been busted three additional times on charges of jostling and pickpocketing.Old woman Ha claims she's a diagnosed kleptomaniac. She's currently being held at Rikers Island on grand larceny, possession of stolen property and jostling charges; Her bail is set at $124,500. She's described as being 5'4" and weighing 458lbs -- wait, that can't be right. But it is. Fat ass!

Lady Blames 11-year-old Girl Gang-Raped By 19 Men For Attack
Meet Sheila Hightower. She's a donkey. A poor, lost, ignorant donkey. Last November, an 11-year-old girl was brutally raped by 19 men, ages 14 to 27, in Cleveland, Texas. Over the next few days, video of the rape went viral around school. All of the suspects are black, so Sheila and other residents of the 7,500-person city are turning this into a race issue and blaming the way the sixth grader dressed and her parents’ lack of supervision in connection to her sexual assault. It was recently revealed that the attacks occurred over a 3-month period and the girl has been placed in foster care. Her parents, who are Mexican immigrants, had to relocate due to threats and have been ordered to attend group counseling in order to regain custody. If convicted, the suspects could face life imprisonment. Sidebar: This story of blaming the victim has even reached the pages of the New York Times, which placed blame on the victim, too. Under pressure, the paper was forced to re-write the story.

Bus Driver Kicks Laughing Baby Off Bus
About eight minutes into the journey she said the bus driver yelled out that if she couldn't keep her daughter quiet then they would have to get off the bus. "Heather was squealing because she was happy and the driver threatened to throw us off," Ms Hay said. A distressed and embarrassed Ms Hay said she apologised to other passengers and gave her daughter a biscuit and a drink and tried playing with her. "She wasn't screaming or carrying on or anything, she was smiling and happy," she said. The driver threatened to throw her off the bus two more times and Ms Hay said after that she kicked them off. "The woman was like 'Right, that's it. I've been telling you since Casuarina that you're going to have to get off the bus if you can't keep your baby quiet,' " she said. By this time Ms Hay said the next stop was theirs and they disembarked any way. Before getting off the bus Ms Hay said she asked for the drivers name but the woman refused to tell her. Humiliated and belittled she said once inside she contacted Darwin Bus Services and unsuccessfully voiced her complaint to management. "They said their managers were away all week and the man was very vague and didn't want to know about the complaint," Ms Hay said. She told the employee: "I don't think she (driver) should be in charge of a pig, let alone a bus."Perhaps the bus driver took it too far, but this mother has to realize that not everyone wants to listen to your baby "squealing" or laughing or whatever.

Girl Pistol-Whips Mother, Forces Her to Buy Car
Rachel Hachero is nothing if not determined. After checking out a convertible at a Fort Myers, Fla. car dealership, the 17-year-old honor student learned that she couldn't get approval on a loan by herself, so she called her mother, Linda Hachero, who told her no. Uh-oh. Police say Rachel then drove to her mother's home, pistol-whipped the bitch with a stolen 9 mm and threatened to shoot her in the head if she didn't co-sign for the car. The mom raced to the dealership and co-signed the loan, Rachel got the 2004 black Nissan 350Z she always wanted and now she's not going to jail. Wait, what? Apparently, Linda refused to file charges. Cops, however, charged Rachel with aggravated assault with intent to commit a felony, battery and possession of a firearm by a person under the age of 18.

Man Smears Feces on Ex-Girlfriend's Door, Lights it on Fire
Harrison’s rampage began shortly before 5:30 a.m., police allege — he stripped naked inside the elevator of his ex-girlfriend’s apartment building on the 300 block of Vanderbilt Avenue, then defecated, according to authorities. He then went to the woman’s sixth-floor apartment, wiped the excrement on the door, and lit his clothes and the door on fire, authorities allege. "I’m going to set your house on fire and this whole building down with you in it," he screamed, capping off the remark with a string of expletives, according to court papers. The woman and her two young children were inside at the time and couldn’t leave, since the door and the doorknob were hot to touch, police allege. She’s also six months pregnant with his child, according to a law enforcement source. When firefighters and police arrived, Harrison was naked and still had the evidence on his hands, the source said. "Yeah, I did it," he allegedly told police. "She stole my cell phone. I had a yellow lighter. I set it on fire." Later, Harrison was taken to a cell in the 120th Precinct stationhouse in St. George where, a law enforcement source said, he defecated a second time.He's now facing arson, criminal mischief, reckless and menacing charges. The judge ordered he undergo a psychiatric exam to determine if he’s fit to stand trial.

[DJ Megatron] was chatting with a male pal of his, telling him he was to buy marijuana at 2 a.m. Sunday when the line went dead, source said. The friend told police he didn’t hear any gun shots and McGriff’s cell phone was found near his body, law enforcement officials said. ‘‘They were talking and the phone went dead,’’ a law enforcement source said.

At least three young men were spotted fleeing the scene, cops said. McGriff — who had worked for WQHT-FM Hot 97 radio and TV’s BET — had just $1 in his wallet when he was killed, and cops said a gal pal was paying his bills. The victim is also survived by an 11-year-old daughter and 9-month-old boy. "They’re trying to cope with the situation, especially the 11-year-old," the dee jay’s mom Louvenia McGriff said. "She’s very hurt and upset and doesn’t understand why anyone would want to do that to her dad."There have been no arrests.

Months After Son's Death, Parents Demand His Sperm So 'He Will Continue to Live in the Bodies of Others'
His parents, Mali and Dudi Ben-Yaakov, donated his organs following his death and are now demanding permission to use his sperm to continue the family line. Ohad was in a coma for two weeks following the accident. "When the parents realised that their son was brain dead, they asked one of the doctors about the procedure for drawing sperm," Haaretz has reported. "They filed a request at the Family Court, which authorised the drawing of the sperm, but its use for the fertilising of an egg is limited to the partner of the man." Haaretz has reported that the Ben-Yaakovs "embarked on a precedent-setting legal battle" this week when they appealed to Attorney-General Yehuda Weinstein for permission to use their dead son's sperm. The parents said: "If we were entitled to donate the organs of our son why are we not entitled to make use of his sperm in order to bring offspring to the world?" Haaretz said the case was unique "because Ohad did not leave behind written or verbal instructions on using his sperm, and his parents embarked on their legal struggle without a woman who would serve as the mother of the child". "At this stage their claim is to ownership rights of the sperm," it reported. "Based on instructions set by the attorney-general in 2003, a woman whose partner was killed may use his sperm to bear children. In Israel the right of the parents to ownership of the sperm of their child is not yet recognised." The Ben-Yaakovs consulted friends and family over their decision to donate Ohad's organs. His parents initially "rejected the idea of donating his organs, but understood that these could save other lives, and agreed". "He was a giving person, and when we realised that there is no way to bring him back, we wanted that Ohad will continue to live in the bodies of others. This is what he would have wanted," they said. Ohad's parents want to find a woman who would be willing to become pregnant with their son's sperm. They said they did not want her to "be brought into the legal battle". "In 2003, then-attorney-general Elyakim Rubinstein held talks with legal, medical and ethics experts, and it was agreed to grant legal auspices to the sperm to the partner, but not the parents," Haaretz said. Rubinstein said: "Except for his partner, there is no legal standing [to the parents] on the issue of their children's fertility. Not in their lifetime, and certainly not when they are dead." "Providing an opening to the parents of a partner to enter intimate and private area such as this raises very difficult questions and complex issues, and this should be avoided," Rubinstein said. "The law does not recognise the right to have a grandchild."This sounds creepy and weird and creepy. The family's attorney says Mali and Dudi there are property ownership qualities to sperm bank donations therefore, there should be similar ownership rights to the legal inheritors of the sperm.

Son Allowed Maggots to Feed on Dying Mother
Investigators said 46-year-old Jorene White was bedridden and her husband was her sole caretaker. Police responded to a 911 call at the Whites' home on July 23 to find Jorene White dead in filthy conditions, covered in flies and maggots. Homicide investigators said her bedding hadn't been changed in two years. But investigators discovered that while they originally thought Jorene White had been dead for a week, an autopsy revealed that she had been dead for only about a day, indicating that the maggots were feeding on her while she was alive. The autopsy determined that White died of a blood infection, and prosecutors said Darrel White didn't seek treatment as she became more ill.His father, Darrel White, pleaded guilty in November to reckless homicide and failing to provide for a functionally impaired person and was sentenced to a Veterans Administration mental health treatment program and five years probation upon completion of the sentence. Brian will be sentenced in next month.

Barry Bonds' Ex-Jumpoff Spills the Tea
Bonds admitted to her that he was not always taking steroids but did so because many athletes were achieving greater success. She said that he stated the steroid use contributed to an elbow injury the all-time home run king suffered in 1999.The 46-year-old baseball legend is on trial for lying in 2003 before a federal grand jury that was investigating the BALCO doping ring.
She also mentioned that Bonds' sexual performance declined over time, that his testicles changed shape and shrank and he also developed back acne. His demeanor also changed and she stated he became more aggressive and agitated in his behavior. The most chilling testimony was when she told the jury on the witness stand that he once threatened to "cut my head off and leave me in a ditch," and that "he would cut out my breast implants because he paid for them." She was cross-examined viciously by the defense, which tried to portray her as a liar and a gold digger. Bell posed for Playboy in 2007 and was compensated $100,000 for her pictorial.

Gandhi Was Bisexual, Racist: book
Mahatma Gandhi, the revered political leader who swore to speak the truth and advocated that others do the same and championed the principle of non-violence, was racist and bisexual, according to new biography.
Great Soul, written by former New York Times executive editor Joseph Lelyveld, makes several new claims about the man who led India to independence. The book alleges that as an older man he held "nightly cuddles" – without clothes - with seventeen year-old girls in his entourage, including his own niece. It also suggests that he was in love with German-Jewish architect and bodybuilder, Hermann Kallenbach, for whom he left his wife in 1908. "Gandhi wrote to Kallenbach about 'how completely you have taken possession of my body. This is slavery with a vengeance'," the book said, going on to claim that Gandhi nicknamed himself "Upper House" and Kallenbach "Lower House." It goes on: "He made Lower House promise not to 'look lustfully upon any woman.' The two then pledged 'more love, and yet more love . . . such love as they hope the world has not yet seen.'" In another startling revelation, the book claims he held racist views against South African blacks. "We were marched off to a prison intended for Kaffirs," he is quoted as saying during a visit to the country. "We could understand not being classed with whites, but to be placed on the same level as the Natives seemed too much to put up with. Kaffirs are as a rule uncivilised." The Wall Street Journal review of the book said it recast Gandhi as "a sexual weirdo, a political incompetent, a fanatical faddist, implacably racist, and a ceaseless self-promoter, professing his love for mankind as a concept while actually despising people as individuals."Gandhi dedicated his life to the wider purpose http://www.blogger.com/img/blank.gifof discovering truth. He tried to achieve this by learning from his own mistakes and conducting experiments on himself. On Jan. 30, 1948, he was assassinated in New Delhi, India while on his way to a prayer meeting. He was 78.

Cyclops Baby Born With One Eye, No Nose
Last week, an Indian woman gave birth to a baby boy with one eye in the center of his forehead and no nose. Doctors were shocked when they delivered the infant by cesarean section from the 34-year-old mother, Veena Chavan.
A sonogram during Chavan's 32nd week of pregnancy revealed the baby was hydrocephalic, meaning water was accumulating on his brain. According to the doctor's report, medical staff wanted to perform an intrauterine shunting procedure but could not because of the advanced stage of her term. Chavan not only grieved the loss of her son, but was upset that she did not even have an opportunity to see him. "This was my third pregnancy. I lost my previous child while I was carrying. I was told that the baby had water in the brain but never had I expected the baby to be born with one eye and no nose," she told reporters. Chavan's one surviving child is an 8-year-old daughter. Surprisingly, this form of cyclopia occurs in roughly one in 250 embryos and is a rare form of holoprosencephaly, which affects how the front of the brain is formed during fetal development. With cyclopia, the eyes and nose don't form properly. Such fetuses are often lost early in the pregnancy. Thus, despite the higher-than-expected odds, it's rarely seen. The cause is often the result of a genetic mutation, though alcoholic and diabetic mothers are at greater risk of carrying a cyclopic child.The child died after one day.

Going to Church is Bad For Your Health: study
Regular church-goers are not just prone to rapings, it makes you fat (making you unable to run away from your predatory pastor). That's according to a new study from Northwestern University in Chicago. Researchers followed 2,433 young men and women for 18 years in Chicago, Minneapolis, Birmingham, Ala., and Oakland, Calif. The group was tested - at first between 20 and 32 years old - for various cardiovascular disease risk factors such as diabetes, hypertension, and smoking. Those same tests were repeated in the same group over the next 25 years. Those who reported attending church weekly, or more often, were more than twice as likely to become obese than those who do not. Most of the participants were Christians — reflecting the dominant religion in the United States.

Stop Us If You've Heard This One Before: Pastor Raped Four Female Parishioners
Sadly, whenever we hear stories of pastors coercing parishioners into sex, it's usually young, impressionable boys who are taken advantage of by self-hating preachers. Not today. Rev. Patrick Edouard, who's the pastor of Covenant Reformed Church in Pella, Iowa, was arrested after he sexually assaulted four married women (who're members of his congregation) for several months in the basement of his home where he'd invite the women for "counselling" sessions. After the rapings, the 41-year-old pastor told the victims "if she raised an alarm it would be her word against his, she would not be believed and he would make sure everyone knew she was crazy", according to a criminal complaint (below) obtained by Channel 13. The women are all married to prominent men in the community. Pastor Edouard, who's a native of Haiti, is also married and has four children. After he was confronted by a group of church elders and two of the victims' husbands, pastor Edouard resigned. Police believe there are more victims.

Man Dies While Giving Wife CPR
A man apparently trying to save his wife with CPR collapsed himself, fell on top of her and died Wednesday night in the couple's home in the tiny town of Joyce on the Olympic Peninsula. Rescuers broke into the home and tried to revive both the man and his wife, but both died. Firefighters responded to a 911 call of a CPR in progress about 9:45 p.m. at a home about one mile east of Joyce, about 60 miles west of Port Angeles, according to Alex Baker, chief of Clallam County Fire District 4. It's assumed the call came from the homeowner. The house was dark and locked, but a television was on in a back room, Baker said. Firefighters tried unsuccessfully to open the door. They went to the back door, which was also locked, and saw the couple on the floor. Rescuers, including police, broke in and tried to revive the couple. Baker said firefighters attempted CPR on the couple for 40 minutes without success. He said the man, 60, was slumped over the woman when firefighters entered the home, indicating the man was trying to perform CPR on his wife, 59. "This was just a tragic event," he said. The couple has not been identified, but Leonard Pierce, owner of the Joyce General Store, said they had just moved to Joyce and built a new home. "It's terrible," he said.This so sad, but we're sure the man wouldn't have wanted to go any other way.

FIGHT! Cops Brawl Over Turf
Hide ya wives, hide ya kids....it's a turf warf and someone should get shot! Last Friday, police officers from the Colwyn and Darby boroughs of Delaware County (that's in Pennsylvania) got into a fracas over which police department should have responded to an incident.
According to Fox29, What Had Happened Was: Last Friday afternoon a woman flagged down a police officer. She said a man had punched her friend a block away, knocking her to the ground. The police officer from Colwyn arrested the man as more officers arrived. The first officer on scene had crossed the border from Colwyn into Darby, which is another jurisdiction. Minutes later, Darby's police chief showed up. The chief began arguing with the Colwyn officer, who was sitting in his patrol car behind the wheel. On the video, you can hear other Darby officers trying to calm the chief down. But the argument escalates. The chief shouts, "get out of Darby," as the Colwyn officer gets out of his patrol car and then has to be restrained. All the while, the victim is still laying on the ground as emergency crews work on her. There's a pretty long history of bad blood between these two towns.
Muammar Gadhafi's Plastic Surgeon Speaks
A surgeon with an international reputation, the 70-year-old Ribeiro has written two books on plastic surgery and taken part in conferences around the world on the topic. It was at one such gathering, in May 1994 in Tripoli, that Ribeiro spoke about his specialty, cosmetic breast surgery. Afterward, a Libyan official identified as Mohamed Zaid "came up to me and said he wanted me to meet someone who Libyans love very much," Ribeiro said. "Because of my specialty, I thought he was going to introduce me to his wife." Instead, Zaid drove Ribeiro to a house surrounded by armed guards. "Zaid and I were taken to a library located underneath a tent set up inside the house, and there he told me that he wanted me to examine Gadhafi," Ribeiro said. A few minutes later, the Libyan leader, wearing a long white tunic, entered the room, "shook my hand and greeted me, speaking perfect English." "He was an extremely polite, intelligent, cordial and soft-spoken person who quickly told me what he wanted and why," Ribeiro said. Gadhafi wanted an immediate operation, but Ribeiro needed a surgical team and the procedure was scheduled for January 1995. It began at 2 a.m. in Gadhafi's bunker, which "had two fully equipped and very modern operating rooms, a gym and a swimming pool," Ribeiro said. "He insisted on local anesthesia saying he wanted to remain alert," the doctor added. "He was a very calm patient." Sao Paulo-based plastic surgeon Dr. Fabio Naccache confirmed to the AP that he was part of the team and performed a hair transplant on the Libyan leader. About halfway through, Gadhafi said he was hungry. "Hamburgers were brought in for all and surgery was interrupted for several minutes while we ate," the surgeon said. Afterward, Zaid handed Ribeiro an envelope "full of U.S. dollars and Swiss francs." He would not say how much money it contained. "All I can say is that it was more than I would charge for my services in Brazil," he said. The doctor stayed in Tripoli for 10 days while Gadhafi recovered. Ribeiro said he assumes Gadhafi turned to him because Libyan surgeons were either "incapable of doing what I did or too scared that he would die on the operating table."Dr Ribeiro told Gadhafi that the effects of the operation would wear off over time and he needed a tune-up in five years. Five years ago, Gadhafi called requesting more surgery, but the doctor was unavailable. "They never called me again," he said. Sidebar: The photo above was taken in 1994. Dr Ribeiro is pictured, right, alongside Gadhafi.)

It's Lindsay™, Bitch!
"Lindsay is dropping the Lohan and just going by Lindsay," Dina tells me, exclusively. "Plus, me and [younger daughter] Ali will be officially changing our last names back to my maiden name, Sullivan." Lindsay had been thinking about dropping her surname for some time but at first thought no one would know who she was. It was only after the infamous Super Bowl E-trade advertisement referring to a baby as "that milkaholic Lindsay," that the actress knew she no longer needed it. "So many of the greatest people in showbiz are known by just their first name. Look at Oprah and Beyonce. Now you can add Lindsay to that list," a family friend tells me. "And it's a way for them all to start over. No one in the family want anything to do with Lindsay's father [Michael Lohan] anymore and that includes sharing a last name." The name "Lohan" is Irish, and Lindsay can trace her roots back to County Cork, as can the "Sullivan" family, according to Irish Central. She also has some Italian heritage as well.Expect famewhore Michael Lohan to call a press conference to discuss this very topic momentarily. Wait! Is he still in jail? We're too lazy to look (or care), but the 50-year-old was arrested this week after he beat up his girlfriend.
