Madonna and Guy Ritchie reportedly were spotted holding hands as they dined out in New York, despite persistent rumors they are planning to divorce.
People.com said the celebrity couple were seen holding hands when they arrived at and departed 'Cesca, an Italian eatery in Manhattan, Tuesday night.
One witness told the entertainment news Web site the pop star and her filmmaker husband seemed "like a normal couple that just wanted to have a nice dinner out."
"They looked very unassuming. Not like they were looking for attention," the observer said. "Everyone was whispering and saying: 'Wow, that was Madonna. She is supposed to be separating from her husband. I can't believe she is here.'"
Madonna's spokeswoman issued a statement Tuesday insisting there are "no plans" for the pair to split up, contrary to reports claiming the couple has been consulting divorce attorneys.
MILEY CYRUS DOES A MITZVAH
Hannah Montana star Miley Cyrus stunned the crowd at a charity concert in Nashville, Tennessee on Sunday by making a surprise appearance alongside country star Jeffrey Steele.
Steele hosted the event in memory of his 13-year-old son Alex, who was killed in an all-terrain quad bike accident last year, to raise money for charity.
And the singer was just as shocked as the crowd when 15-year-old Cyrus appeared on the stage, asking to sing a duet with him, according to People.com.
The pair performed hit track "Simple Song," which was originally recorded by Cyrus - and was the only song written by Steel that appeared on his son Alex's MP3 player when he died.
And after a second duet - a rousing rendition of Steele's Hollywood Girl - the country singer paid tribute to Cyrus, telling the crowd, "Miley might live in Hollywood, but in her heart, she'll always be our Tennessee girl."
..BRITNEY SPEARS TO BE REINVENTED
Top music producer Rodney 'Darkchild' Jerkins is determined to "reinvent" Britney Spears and launch a successful career comeback for the troubled star.
The pop singer - currently celebrating the birth of her younger sister Jamie Lynn's daughter Maddie - has had a rocky year, which she has spent fighting an ongoing custody battle with ex-husband Kevin Federline.
But Grammy-winning producer Jerkins, who produced remixes for Spears' tracks "Overprotected" and "I Love Rock 'n' Roll," insists her new music will resurrect her troubled public image, according to People.com.
He says, "I'm trying some new things (with Spears)Â… I've always worked with Britney and I love working with her.
"I'm try to reinvent her and reinvent myself with her project. It's about to be her time again."
KANYE CAN GIVE A F$%! ABOUT WINEHOUSE!
Kanye West has laughed off Amy Winehouse's recent scathing comments about him - insisting he must have "really made it" if the troubled singer hates him.
Winehouse lashed out at the Stronger hitmaker during her set at British music festival Glastonbury on Saturday, telling the crowd she was pleased to be opening for rapper Jay-Z and not a "c*** like Kanye West!"
But West has refused to take the insult personally - dismissing Winehouse's rant in a post on his Web site.
He writes, "This just in... Amy Winehouse hates me!!! Now I've really made it!!! LOL (laugh out loud)!!!!"

Singer Opts for 'Black National Anthem' Over 'Star Spangled Banner'
Wednesday, July 02, 2008
A jazz singer shocked some Denver residents after replacing the words to the national anthem with those of the "Black National Anthem" during the annual State of the City address this week.
Rene Marie was asked to sing "The Star-Spangled Banner" before Denver Mayor John Hickenlooper delivered the annual address on Tuesday. Instead, she sang the lyrics of "Lift Every Voice and Sing" — a hymn commonly referred to as the "Black National Anthem" — to the tune of the national anthem, MyFOXColorado.com reported.
"If anyone has got a right to be angry it's probably me," Hickenlooper told the station. "I guess what I feel most is just deeply disappointed."
The mayor said only Marie, her husband and a musical adviser knew what the local jazz singer had in mind.
"What she said was that she was very sorry, that she meant no disrespect, that she was trying to make a creative expression of her love for the country," Hickenlooper said.
But the change in lyrics angered many residents, including City Councilman Charlie Brown. "I was mad," he told MyFOXColorado.com. "I almost walked off the stage."
Brown said the matter needs to be addressed. "There is no substitute for the national anthem."
So I guess a GLAMOUR reporter interviewed one of the broads from the OC and this is what was written about the said heifer...
She wants us to know the following about LC:
- As with all celebs, seemed way shorter/thinner in person. Also, tanner. - Seemingly really sweet/almost a little shy. I wasn't getting stuck-up vibes. When I needed to find the ladies' room, she walked me there, despite 10 publicists who could have done so instead. - Shockingly well-spoken considering the inane dialogue we generally see her involved in on The Hills.
Introducing Alan Patton.....the Urine Connoisseur! Eww!
"Police charged a northwest Columbus man with criminal mischief for allegedly planning to collect young boys’ urine and drink it. Alan Patton was recently spotted in restrooms at Sports Ohio two weeks ago. According to a police report, Patton, 56, the female employee recognized him as the same man she saw the previous week “putting Saran Wrap on toilets and cups in urinals.” The employee called police and found Patton walking out of a restroom stall with a black duffle bag. In 1994, Patton pleaded guilty to a charge of gross sexual imposition against an 8-year-old boy. He served four years in prison and was labeled a sex offender. Then, in 2006, Patton was caught at a Gahanna movie theater and was accused of watching little boys urinate. Police said that Patton admitted to collecting boys’ urine and even paid them for it. Patton was charged with voyeurism. Police said that Patton would turn the water to the urinals off, place a cup inside and then collect the urine after a boy went to the bathroom. Woah - this cat is highly deranged. Let’s get this straight, he’s a fan of the mellow yellow, who carries his contraband around in a duffel bag. Where have we heard this before?" Bossip.com
The 6 Most Annoying Coworkers:
Are You One?
Nearly every workplace has them: the Naysayer, who dismisses team members' ideas; the Spotlight Stealer, who claims credit for a colleague's efforts; and other annoying coworkers who make collaboration difficult. Following are six professionals whose irritating behaviors and irksome attitudes prevent them from forming productive relationships at work -- and what you should to do avoid following in their footsteps:
1. The Naysayer. This office dweller delights in shooting down ideas. Even during "blue sky" brainstorming sessions, where all suggestions are to be contemplated with an open mind, the Naysayer immediately pooh-poohs any proposal that challenges the status quo.
The right approach: Because great solutions often rise from diverse opinions, withhold comment -- and judgment -- until the appropriate time. Moreover, be tactful and constructive when delivering criticism or alternative viewpoints.
2. The Spotlight Stealer. There is definitely an "I" in "team" according to this glory seeker, who tries to take full credit for collaborative efforts and impress higher-ups. This overly ambitious corporate climber never heard a good idea he wouldn't pass off as his own.
The right approach: Win over the boss and colleagues by being a team player. When receiving kudos, for instance, publicly thank everyone who helped you. "I couldn't have done it without ..." is a savvy phrase to remember.
3. The Buzzwordsmith. Whether speaking or writing, the Buzzwordsmith sacrifices clarity in favor of showcasing an expansive vocabulary of cliched business terms. This ineffective communicator loves to "utilize" -- never just "use" -- industry-specific jargon and obscure acronyms that muddle messages. Favorite buzzwords include "synergistic," "actionable," "monetize," and "paradigm shift."
The right approach: Be succinct. Focus on clarity and minimize misunderstandings by favoring direct, concrete statements. If you're unsure whether the person you are communicating with will understand your message, rephrase it, using "plain English."
4. The Inconsiderate Emailer. Addicted to the "reply all" function, this "cc" supporter clogs colleagues' already-overflowing inboxes with unnecessary messages. This person also marks less-than-critical emails as "high priority" and sends enormous attachments that crash unwitting recipients' computers.
The right approach: Break the habit of using email as your default mode of communication, as many conversations are better suited for quick phone calls or in-person discussions. The benefit? The less email you send, the less you're likely to receive.
5. The Interrupter. The Interrupter has little regard for others' peace, quiet or concentration. When this person is not entering your work area to request immediate help, the Interrupter is in meetings loudly tapping on a laptop, fielding calls on a cell phone, or initiating off-topic side conversations.
The right approach: Don't let competing demands and tight deadlines trump basic common courtesy. Simply put, mind your manners to build healthy relationships at work.
6. The Stick in the Mud. This person is all business all of the time. Disapproving of any attempt at levity, the constant killjoy doesn't have fun at work and doesn't think anyone else should either.
The right approach: Have a sense of humor and don't be afraid to laugh at yourself once in awhile. A good laugh can help you build rapport, boost morale, and deflate tension when working under stressful situations.
It's fairly easy to spot the qualities that make the above individuals irritating -- at least when the behaviors are displayed by others. It can be a challenge to recognize when you exhibit them yourself. You may not realize, for instance, that you always pepper your communications with industry- or company-specific jargon, even when speaking with new employees or outside contacts. Though you may not be a full-fledged Interrupter or Stick in the Mud, take care to avoid heading down their paths.
The best advice: Remember common courtesy and act toward others as you want them to act toward you.
Seven iPhone Disappointments
Apple's new iPhone promises to be 4.7 ounces of awesome.
It will do everything the iPhone does well--surfing the Web, serving up music and movies, and letting you flick through your voicemail messages with a fingertip--only faster and cheaper.
Yet imperfections still lurk, in spite of Chairman Steve Jobs' maniacal attention to detail. Even before its release, there are some niggling issues--some minor, others major--that make the iPhone a mere gadget, just like any other. Just ask those pesky bloggers:
The Cost Those crafty phone companies! Yes, at $199, the new iPhone is cheaper up-front than the original, which first went on sale starting at $499 last year. It is not, however, less expensive to own. Do the math and you find out the iPhone will cost $160 more over two years than the original iPhone because AT&T (nyse: T - news - people ) put together a pricier data plan for the phone to help it subsidize the up-front cost of the handset. The gadget fiends at Gizmodo called that "a small price to play," but Bits, the technology blog at The New York Times, called it "a step backwards for consumers."
No Flash The iPhone is a surprisingly capable Web browser. Its wide, high-resolution screen and the ability to bop around the Web by tapping links with a fingertip has turned mobile Web surfing from a chore into a pleasure. The biggest hitch: the iPhone still doesn't support Adobe's (nasdaq: ADBE - news - people ) Flash technology, which means many multimedia-rich sites remain off limits. While Adobe is working hard to make its technology iPhone-friendly, don't hold your breath.
No Replaceable Batteries Hardcore road warriors don't have time to stop and recharge their phones. Instead they carry their batteries with them, clicking them into their BlackBerrys in the backs of cabs, or, if they're lucky, in a coffee shop. By contrast, there's no easy way to crack open the new iPhone's sleek case to pop in a battery, disappointing bloggers. And while kits are available for do-it-yourselfers, we wouldn't recommend trying it in between bites of your bagel.
Video Recording Apple's (nasdaq: AAPL - news - people ) computers come preloaded with iMovie, a slick little application that makes video editing easy and fun. Apple's iPods, with the exception of the Shuffle, have evolved into snappy little video viewing machines. But if you want to record video, you'd better talk to Sony (nyse: SNE - news - people ). Despite its built-in two-megapixel camera, Apple isn't building the ability to take video into its new phone, a feature even many low-end so-called "feature phones" include.
No Cut-And-Paste The inability to copy a chunk of text and paste it into another application has baffled geeks since the iPhone's introduction last year. It's a simple tool that would make blogging and zapping bits of text to friends via e-mail a breeze. And, yes, it can be done without screwing up the phone's interface.
No Multimedia Messaging Service This might be the most interesting example of what makes the iPhone quirky: There are some things dirt-cheap phones cranked out by the tens of millions can do that the vaunted iPhone cannot. Forbes.com's David Ewalt sees the lack of support for Multimedia Messaging Service as one of the most maddening. Want to open an image sent to you via MMS by a friend from her (dirt-cheap) mobile phone? No dice.
Bonus: No Voice Dialing No blogger we've seen has complained about this yet. Maybe that's because all the geeks who might whine about how tough it is to dial the iPhone died in fiery auto wrecks first, seeing as the iPhone doesn't have the voice-recognition smarts to let users dial verbally--the one feature makes the BlackBerry, with its nubby little plastic keyboard, usable on the road.
Jun 26 - Schoolboy found hanged after his father confiscated his new Wii
school tie after his father confiscated a computer game.
Jake Roberts wanted to play it on his Nintendo Wii console but couldn't because his sister was watching TV.
An argument developed and when his father confiscated the game Jake stormed to his room. Hours later he was discovered hanging from his bed by his father.
The talented teenager, described as a sensitive boy with a fantastic imagination enjoyed writing stories and poems and even had one verse published after his school entered it into a competition.
The inquest heard evidence from Jake's devastated parents, Andrea and John, who lived with their son and daughter in Scarborough, North Yorkshire.
Mrs Roberts a bank clerk, became tearful as she recalled how her son had stormed off to his room after being told he could not play on the game.
She said: 'We gave him some money for his birthday so he went out and bought a computer game.
'When he came back he wanted to play it but his sister was using the television.
'He had a temper tantrum and stormed off upstairs.'
Mr Roberts, a printer, said: 'The first thing I saw when I walked in to Jake's bedroom was all the paper he had ripped up on the floor during his tantrum.
'The door was open with his bed to my left behind the door. I was going to tell him off when I turned. It took me a few seconds to register what I was seeing.'
'His school tie was round his neck and he was hung from his cabin bed. I tried to lift him and his tie was attached to a bar on the bed.'
An ambulance was called and Jake was rushed to Scarborough Hospital, but he was pronounced dead two days later as a result of hanging.
Mr Roberts continued: 'I honestly don't think he meant to hang himself. I think he was mad about the computer game and just did something stupid.'
Mrs Roberts added that the family had watched an episode of the BBC drama Casualty together weeks, before which had featured a young person hanging themselves.
BAYTOWN, Texas - A 14-year-old girl who secretly gave birth in a school bathroom was charged with capital murder Thursday by police, who said she killed the newborn by choking and flushing him in the toilet.
The girl was charged as a juvenile; Baytown police Capt. Roger Clifford said prosecutors will decide whether to certify her as an adult. She cannot be executed if convicted because of her age.
The girl gave birth April 2 in a bathroom at Cedar Bayou Junior High. Police said she stuffed toilet paper in the infant’s throat and submerged him in a toilet. An autopsy confirmed the baby was alive and cried before his mother tried to flush him, police Lt. Eric Freed said
“We have had enough evidence to determine that this action was done intentionally and knowingly,” Clifford said. “That means beyond a reasonable doubt in our mind and in mind of the district attorney’s office and in mind of the medical examiner’s office, that this was not an accident.”
'Very sad situation' The girl’s attorney, Gerald Yoakum, said the teen didn’t realize she was giving birth. She was 35 to 36 weeks pregnant.
School officials in this city 26 miles east of Houston learned of her pregnancy when another student who was in the restroom while the eighth-grader was in labor went to ask the school nurse for help.
The nurse and an assistant principal ran to the bathroom, discovered the girl had given birth and called 911.
The Goose Creek school district said it was also investigating what school rules the girl might have broken.
“It’s a very sad situation,” district spokeswoman Kathy Clausen said. “We’re all very concerned and very upset about it.”
The infant boy died just three days after another 14-year-old girl delivered a stillborn fetus in the bathroom of an airplane on her way back to Houston from a middle-school field trip.
soooo. Last week went to complete sheiza because of the fact that we are moving from our bootsy ass old location (the old traffic storage room a.k.a. the "Sarbanes-Oxley Suite.") With all of that being said, my deepest sincere apologies for not staying on top of the blog. It's hard to stay up to the minute when the WiFi isn't hooked up yet...either way here is a brief wrap up of what was discussed!
MONDAY:
In the wake of the Mother's Day we discussed a. how much it sucked for some of you and b. the dad's that got screwed! Audio can be found via podcast! The hilarity of it all was that there were more men that were shat on my their ex female counterparts than bitter women...this is a rarity for the show!
TUESDAY:
With very little going on Hollywood I decided to, yet again, visit my favorite place for content...The U.K. According to news sources, a jealous husband accused his wife of having an extramarital affair with a workmate. Taking things to a whole new level, he decided that kicking her out of the house was not enough of a punishment...so he put her on EBAY.
He told Britain's The Sun newspaper: “I started checking her emails and I realised the rumours were true. They had been discussing their sex life together and making plans for the future.
“I was absolutely destroyed. I gathered all her stuff in bags and dumped it in the drive.”
Three weeks ago, Sharon pleaded for Paul to take her back. She moved back in, but two weeks later, Paul was again convinced she was cheating.
Paul said: “In a fit of rage I put the advert on eBay. I later took it off because I realised it wasn’t the right thing to do. I was just so angry.”
But Sharon had already made a complaint to police who today confirmed they were investigating, saying: “Statements have been taken from two people. ”
That was all just the beginning of what you missed...Wed - Fri, you'll just have to cut your losses because I'm all about forward progress and while I sit here and write this now, I could be shoveling new info to you instead fo the rehash...feel free, though, to scroll down and check out the actual articles that inspired the rest of the week! deuces suckas!
Woman Stabs Boyfriend In Heart During Rough Sex
A Winnipeg woman who accidentally plunged a knife into her boyfriend's chest during a drunken bout of rough sex received a three-year conditional discharge yesterday.
"It was an accident that had disastrous results," said the woman's lawyer, John McAmmond.
A court order has prohibited the young lovers from communicating with each other since the February 2007 incident. That order was lifted yesterday and the couple left court together, smiling.
Court heard the 25-year-old woman and 24-year-old man had known each other since grade school but had only become romantically involved four weeks prior to the accident.
'VERY CLOSE TO DEATH'
The man was rushed to hospital in critical condition after suffering a stab wound to the left ventricle of his heart.
"Hospital staff thought he was going to die, he was very close to death," said Crown attorney Larry Allan, adding the man has fully recovered.
Allan said the man and woman had been drinking heavily and were engaged in "rough sex activities" when the man requested she "carve artwork" into his chest.
"He said they engaged in dangerous play, and due to her intoxication, was not precise with the knife and punctured his heart," Allan said.
The man told police the stabbing was an accident and that the two routinely cut and scratched each other with knives. The man showed police several wounds, including a heart-shaped scar on his back featuring the woman's initials.
McCammond said it was the victim who introduced the woman to "body modification" and asked her to carve another heart on his chest. The woman was complying when the man asked her to press harder, McAmmond said.
'LIKE VENETIAN BLINDS'
"Unfortunately, ribs are shaped like venetian blinds and the knife went through," he said.
The woman was originally charged with aggravated assault, but pleaded guilty yesterday to simple assault. She also pleaded guilty to one count of breaching a court order she have no contact with her boyfriend.
"They were in love, they wanted to be together, and eventually she weakened," McAmmond said, explaining the court breach.
Judge Brian Corrin said the woman was "clearly remorseful and unlikely to be reinvolved."
Corrin ordered the woman to participate in alcohol counselling while on probation.

Zimbabwe releases $500,000,000 note
ZIMBABWE has introduced a new half-a-billion dollar bank note in a bid to tackle cash shortages fed by rampant inflation, the central bank said today.
The $500,000,000 note is worth $A2.61c.
"Introducing the new 500,000,000 bearer cheque for your convenience," read a Reserve Bank of Zimbabwe full-page advert in the state daily, The Herald, displaying specimens of the new note.
The note, comes into circulation 10 days after the introduction of a quarter-of-a-billion one early this month.
This is the fourth set of high denomination notes to be issued this year, the first being in January when a 10 million dollar note was put into circulation. The next was on April 2 when a 50 million dollar note came into being before the 100 and 250 million dollar notes were introduced on May 2.
The southern African nation, currently gripped by a post-election crisis, has been ravaged by hyperinflation which reached 165,000 per cent in February.
No latest inflation figures have been released since then.
The country's chronic economic crisis has condemned millions to grinding poverty with at least 80 per cent of the population living below the poverty threshold amid mass shortages of basic goods in shops. http://www.news.com.au/story/0,23599,23704106-2,00.html
'Shamed' Austrian man kills family with ax
(CNN) -- An Austrian man has confessed to killing five members of his family with an ax, Vienna police said Wednesday.
The body of the father-in-law to a man who murdered five family members is taken away in Linz, Austria.
The man walked into a Vienna police station early Wednesday and told authorities he had killed his wife and 7-year-old daughter early Tuesday, police spokesman Michael Braunsperger said.
The man, a self-employed public relations consultant according to The Associated Press, said he had also murdered both his parents and his father-in-law in the cities of Ansfelden and Linz, respectively, the spokesman said.
Police found the five victims, who had all been killed with an ax, Braunsperger said. The man said his motive was "financial difficulties."
"He said he'd been speculating on the financial markets and had lost everything, so he ... wanted to spare his family the shame," Braunsperger said.
The man is in custody awaiting further questioning, he said.
"He is completely matter-of-fact ... almost without emotion," criminal investigator Thomas Stecher said, AP reported.
The case is likely to unnerve Austrians on the heels of a highly publicized incest case in Amstetten, outside Vienna.
Josef Fritzl, 73, confessed last month to holding his daughter captive in a cellar below the family home for 24 years, repeatedly raping her and fathering seven children with her. One of the babies died.
Fritzl told his wife that their daughter had run away, and he and his wife adopted three of the children. In 2006, Austrian teenager Natascha Kampusch escaped from the basement of a house in Strasshof, another Vienna suburb, after being held there for eight years. Her stepmother said Kampusch had been repeatedly abused by her captor, Wolfgang Priklopil, who killed himself by throwing himself under a train hours after she escaped.

Three Minnesota Junior High Students Suspended for Not Standing During Pledge
DILWORTH, Minn. — Fourteen-year-old Bishop Edens was suspended from school Friday because he wouldn't stand for the Pledge of Allegiance, but he was quickly invited back once his principal learned that rule might be unconstitutional.
The back-and-forth came on the second day of controversy at Dilworth-Glyndon-Felton Junior High over the school's policy of requiring students to stand — but not necessarily recite — during the pledge.
Edens saw three of his classmates get disciplined by Principal Colleen Houglum on Thursday, so he decided to break the rule on Friday in protest. "I feel I should speak my mind about this whole thing," Edens said.
Edens was suspended Friday and went home, but his family told The Forum of Fargo that Houglum invited the teen back to school that afternoon.
Attorney Roger Aronson, who represents 1,700 secondary school principals in Minnesota, said he advised Houglum on Friday that requiring students to stand could violate their right to freedom of expression.
Houglum confirmed in a written statement to The Associated Press that three students were suspended Thursday for violating the DGF Student Handbook.
She said the handbook says "all students will stand" during the pledge but also says students aren't required to recite it.
But Houglum also said school officials were reevaluating the policy.
"It is our understanding that the phrase, 'all students will stand' may need to be modified to address the protection of the individual's form of expression," she said.
The principal told the students during the class Thursday that it was disrespectful to sit during the pledge, especially with U.S. troops fighting in Iraq, Edens said. A boy and two girls spent the day in in-school suspension.
"(Houglum) was talking about how people are fighting in the war for freedom, but she took away their freedom," he said of his classmates.
Shaun Anderson, whose daughter was suspended, said his daughter was talking to a friend about an assignment and didn't hear the pledge on the intercom. She usually stands for the pledge, Anderson said.
"I totally, 100 percent agree with her," Anderson, a member of the military, said of the principal's original decision. "I think any American should believe that."
But Kim Dahl, whose 13-year-old son Brandt was one of those suspended, called the disciplinary action "ridiculous." Her son said his homeroom teacher had never told students about the policy.
"I thought it was kind of dumb because I didn't do anything wrong," Dahl said. "It should be the people's choice."
Evidently, Kanye-to-the didn't like a portion of Rihanna's set on the "GLOW IN THE DARK" tour so he decided to make an executive decision and write a check for the changes...

if you even care...Lil Wayne's thoughts of mutha erf comin to an end (yawn at the interview, biting my nails at the actual facts)
“The world is about to end in 2012… ’cause the Mayans made calendars, and they stop at 2012. I got encyclopedias on the bus. The world is about to end as we know it. You can see it already. A planet doesn’t exist - there’s no more Pluto. Planes are flying into buildings - and not just the Twin Towers. Mosquitos bite you and you die. And a Black man and a woman are running for president.”
Also, Wayne recently told Bender some stuff that could be a candidate for XXL’s Brother Please section!
"I don't do too many (drugs). I just smoke weed and drink. But I'll never f**k with no more coke. It's not about the bad high; it's just about the acne: Cocaine makes your face break out. I'm a pretty boy."
AMSTERDAM (Reuters) - A shoplifter looking to make a quick getaway from a Dutch supermarket after stealing a packet of meat left police a crucial piece of evidence -- his 12-year-old son.
In his haste the 45-year-old thief made a solo dash to his car, batting away a supermarket worker who had flung himself on the vehicles' bonnet in a bid to stop the escape.
Police in the southern Dutch town of Kerkrade said they managed to contact the thief via the boy, but he had refused to return and collect his son. The man told officers to get hold of the youngster's mother instead.
The thief later turned himself in Thursday, a police spokeswoman said.
A British woman, 57, could thank her lucky stars that a lump she thought was ovarian cancer, turned out to be her first pregnancy. She was 7-months pregnant when test revealed she was to have a girl.
Susan Tollefsen, will be one of the oldest known mothers in Britain when she has a Caesarean next week to deliver the child. Several IVF treatments failed prior to this pregnancy, which she thought she miscarried.
"I was lying on the examination table thinking, 'I'm going to die' when the sonographer turned round to me and said 'Congratulations'. My initial reaction was to think, 'What a terrible way to tell me I've got ovarian cancer."
