Tori Spelling

Tori Spelling has been hospitalized twice in two days this week after complaining of severe abdominal pain, the New York Post reports.

"Just out of the hospital," husband Dean McDermott wrote on Twitter on Monday. "After a battery of tests, no conclusive answers. She still feels terrible. Hope it passes soon. She's in a lot of pain."

Spelling, 36, has been chronicling her illness, which is shared by her husband and children, and which she called "The McDermott Family Bug" in a Tweet, for days.

Heidi & Spencer Pratt

Speaking to the New York Post's PopWrap on Tuesday, Pratt, 26, said that he's tried to prevent Montag, 23, from realizing her dreams of becoming a young mother -- by refusing her sex.

"I'm not even kidding, my wife -- OK, I'm gonna get crass here -- but we're barely having sex because I'm scared that she's gonna have a baby," he said. "That's the level our marriage is on right now. I'm not even kidding -- my wife has me debating cutting off my nuts."

Behind his abstinence is his fear that Montag might go off her birth control without telling him, he said.

"She's not the kind of person who would lie -- she would just walk away and not answer the question," he said. "So yes, I'm very concerned. Our sex life has dramatically changed recently."

Pratt, who hints that he'd like to go on a double-date with President Barack and Michelle Obama to "share the spotlight," and bashes frequent "Speidi" mocker Joel McHale, host of "The Soup," as "a struggling wannabe actor just clowning on reality stars," also gets in a dig at Lauren Conrad -- whom he claims quit the MTV reality show only as a ruse to get more money.

"She quit 'The Hills' because Speidi was getting more famous than her. So she quit thinking the show would end, but she was wrong. Her ego ruined her life and her career," he said. "I pray for her every day and we'd all love for her to come back to 'The Hills' when she realizes her move didn't work."

Scrumptious Goldfish

Authorities say a Houston-area woman who was burned up at her former common-law husband fried their pet goldfish and ate some of them.

Pasadena police say it's a civil matter and no charges will be filed. The seven goldfish were purchased together by the couple during happier times.

Police spokesman Vance Mitchell says the man reported on Saturday that the woman took the goldfish from his apartment.

Mitchell says the two argued earlier about some jewelry the man had given her but took back. She wanted the jewelry returned.

Officers who were dispatched to the woman's home arrived to find four fried goldfish on a plate. The woman said she already ate the other three.

Sweet Rock

Petra Diamonds Ltd. says a diamond the size of a chicken egg has been found at South Africa's Cullinan mine.

The diamond may be among the world's top 20 high-quality gems. It was discovered Thursday at the mine northeast of Pretoria, South Africa.

Johan Dippenaar, the company's chief executive said in a statement Tuesday that the 507.55-carat gem was of "exceptional color and clarity."

No value has been give yet for the diamond, which weighs just over 100 grams.

$35 Million Clown

A spacecraft carrying Canadian circus tycoon Guy Laliberte and two crew mates lifted off from the Kazakh steppe on schedule Wednesday headed for the International Space Station.

The Soyuz capsule carrying the Cirque du Soleil founder, U.S. astronaut Jeffrey Williams and Russian cosmonaut Maxim Surayev shed its rocket stages and entered orbit minutes after shooting up from the Baikonur launch facility atop a tower of flame.

Friends and family on the ground waited anxiously and then burst into cheers when an announcement that the ship was in orbit came over the loudspeaker. There were ecstatic hugs, sobs of relief and chants of "Guy! Guy!" They then broke into a rendition of Elton John's "Rocket Man."

They are scheduled to arrive at the International Space Station, orbiting 220 miles above Earth, on Friday.

Laliberte, who paid $35 million for his trip, plans to use it to help publicize the world's growing shortage of clean water. But he's also doing his best to make the serious, risky business of space travel fun: Before the launch, the entertainer donned a bulbous red clown nose, blew kisses to supporters and held both hands over his heart in a mime's show of affection.

Melee

Prosecutors say an 18-year-old delivered the "knock out" punch of a Chicago Honors Roll student that was beaten to death on his way home from school.

Eugene Bailey is one of four suspects charged in Derrion Albert's death. He was denied bail at a court hearing Tuesday and remains in jail. The three other suspects, Silvonus Shannon, 19, Eugene Riley, 18, and Eric Carson, 16 are also being held without bail for their alleged roles in the beating.

Cell phone footage shows a group of teens kicking and striking Albert with splintered railroad ties after the Christian Fenger Academy High School sophomore left school Thursday.

The violence stemmed from a shooting early Thursday morning involving two groups of students from different neighborhoods, said Tandra Simonton, a spokeswoman for the Cook County prosecutor's office. When school ended, members of the groups began fighting near the Agape Community Center.

During the attack, captured in part on a bystander's cell phone video, Albert is struck on the head by one of several young men wielding wooden planks. After he falls to the ground and appears to try to get up, he is struck again and then kicked. Simonton said Albert was a bystander and not part of either group.

(Star)Buckin' The Trend

The company that added "venti" to American vocabularies will launch a push throughout North America Tuesday to convince even connoisseurs to sample what many see as a down-market drink — instant coffee.

Nearly eight months after Starbucks Corp. began selling its Via instant coffee in Seattle and Chicago, the company will begin offering it to the rest of the country and in its Canadian stores.

Backed by national television ads — a rarity for the company — along with large-scale distribution to about 1,500 sites outside its stores, the Via launch shows just how determined the coffee company is to own a stake in the $21 billion worldwide instant coffee market.

Do You Care?

Fish that generate electric fields to navigate, fight and attract mates are equipped with a dimmer switch of sorts that can turn down their signals to save energy, a new study finds.

Electric fish, such as some sharks and eels, emit weak electrical signals from a battery-like organ in their tails. The fish studied, called Sternopygus macrurus, are active at night and must avoid predators, such as catfish, that can sense their electric field.

Generating such impulses can be energetically costly.

Now, researchers have located a dimmer switch in the membranes of cells called electrocytes within this electric organ. The switch takes the form of sodium channels that the fish can insert and remove from the electrocyte membranes. More sodium channels mean a stronger electric impulse.

The fish can turn their electric bursts up or down at a moment's notice. That's likely because a reservoir of sodium channels is stored in the electric cells. When serotonin is released in the fish brain, it initiates the release of adrenocorticotropic hormone from the pituitary gland. This triggers the mechanism that puts more sodium channels in the membrane.

Witchcraft

White House officials under George W. Bush refused to give the Presidential Medal of Freedom to Harry Potter author J.K. Rowling because her writing "encouraged witchcraft," a new book alleges.

Matt Latimer, a former speechwriter for Bush, writes in his book, "Speechless: Tales of a White House Survivor," that administration officials politicized the award and decided not to give it to Rowling because of her repeated references to witchcraft -- despite the Bushes' vocal praise for her books.

"This was the same sort of narrow thinking that led people in the White House to actually object to giving the author J.K. Rowling a presidential medal because the Harry Potter books encouraged witchcraft," writes Latimer.

The Presidential Medal of Freedom, the nation's highest civil award, is awarded to individuals who have made an outstanding contribution to the security or national interests of the United States, world peace, or culture.

Beer Here

A Muslim woman sentenced to caning for drinking beer wants to get the punishment over with now that it has been confirmed by an Islamic appeals court judge, her father said Tuesday.

If the punishment is carried out, Kartika Sari Dewi Shukarno, a 32-year-old mother of two, would become the first Muslim woman to be caned in Malaysia, where about 60 percent of the 28 million people are Muslims.

...Hits The Fan(s).

A 17-year-old Taiwanese boy has been arrested for chopping off his father's hands, allegedly to avenge years of physical abuse, a police official said Tuesday.

The boy cut through his father's wrists with a knife while he was asleep at the family's home in central Miaoli on Monday, the official said. The official was speaking on condition of anonymity, citing department policy.

The 37-year-old father, a divorced ironsmith, was in stable condition after doctors reattached his severed hands, the offcial said. The father and son were identified only by their surname, Fan.

The police official said the boy admitted to cutting his father's hands off and showed no remorse, complaining that he was beaten after refusing to get a job while attending school.

The Apple Daily newspaper quoted the boy as telling police that since his mother left home some 10 years before, his father had frequently beat him and even tossed a chair or other objects at him.

Clean Slate?

"Saturday Night Live" has started the season with a bang.

Newcomer Jenny Slate let an obscene expletive slip during a parody of a talk show by biker women on the season opener of the comedy show. Called "Biker Chick Chat," the sketch was laden with tough talk from its participants, played by Slate, Kristen Wiig and guest host Megan Fox.

But the most objectionable word was substituted, with rapid-fire comic frequency, with an inoffensive stand-in for that vulgarity.

Then, midway through the sketch, Slate slipped and said the word she meant to avoid.

"You know what? You stood up for yourself," she declared, "and I (expletive) love you for that."

She puffed her cheeks, perhaps realizing her error, but the sketch continued with no interruption or further flubs.

Slate is an actress and comedian who this summer appeared on "Late Night with Jimmy Fallon," and is perhaps best-known as half of the comedy duo Gabe and Jenny — until her memorable "SNL" debut this weekend.

I Buried Paul...(Cran Berry Sauce)

Lucy Vodden, who provided the inspiration for the Beatles' classic song "Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds," has died after a long battle with lupus. She was 46.

Her death was announced Monday by St. Thomas' Hospital in London, where she had been treated for the chronic disease for more than five years, and by her husband, Ross Vodden. Britain's Press Association said she died last Tuesday. Hospital officials said they could not confirm the day of her death.

Vodden's connection to the Beatles dates back to her early days, when she made friends with schoolmate Julian Lennon, John Lennon's son.

Julian Lennon, then 4 years old, came home from school with a drawing one day, showed it to his father, and said it was "Lucy in the sky with diamonds."

At the time, John Lennon was gathering material for his contributions to "Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band," a landmark album released to worldwide acclaim in 1967.

The elder Lennon seized on the image and developed it into what is widely regarded as a psychedelic masterpiece, replete with haunting images of "newspaper taxis" and a "girl with kaleidoscope eyes."

Rock music critics thought the song's title was a veiled reference to LSD, but John Lennon always claimed the phrase came from his son, not from a desire to spell out the initials LSD in code.

Hitler Was.....A WOMAN!?!?!!

A skull long believed to be that of Adolf Hitler actually belonged to a woman, according to an American scientist who has taken DNA samples from it.

The skull was taken by Soviet forces in 1945 when they found charred remains outside the Nazi dictator's bunker in Berlin.

The Russians said at the time that the findings backed claims that Hitler had shot himself on April 30, 1945, and then been cremated along with his wife, Eva Braun.

Now, however, archaeologist and bone specialist Nick Bellantoni says the skull really belonged to a woman aged under 40 and not Hitler - who was 56 when he died.

Neither does Mr Bellantoni believe the skull belongs to Braun, Hitler's long-time girlfriend and last-minute wife, who is thought to have killed herself by taking cyanide and would therefore not have had a bullet wound - as this skull has.

The Russians say they have never claimed the skull itself was the chief reason for their belief the skull was Hitler's. Instead, they point to dental records as confirmation that Hitler killed himself.

In The Closet (Part 1)

Authorities say the mother of a 14-year-old Oklahoma boy has been arrested after her child told police he had spent years locked inside a bedroom closet.

A police report says a security guard at a National Guard facility in Oklahoma City called police on Friday after the boy showed up looking malnourished and with several scars and other signs of abuse.

The report says the teen told police he escaped from his home in Oklahoma City, where he told police he had been kept in a closet for more than four years.

Police say they arrested the boy's 37-year-old mother and her 38-year-old friend on child abuse and child neglect charges. They were both being held in jail on a $400,000 bond.

Frog Vamp

A gecko with leopard-like spots on its body and a fanged frog that eats birds are among 163 new species discovered last year in the Mekong River region of Southeast Asia, an environmental group said Friday.

WWF International said that scientists in 2008 discovered 100 plants, 28 fish, 18 reptiles, 14 amphibians, two mammals and one bird species in the region. That works out to be about three species a week and is in addition to the 1,000 new species catalogued there from 1997 to 2007, the group said.

"After millennia in hiding these species are now finally in the spotlight, and there are clearly more waiting to be discovered," said Stuart Chapman, director of the WWF Greater Mekong Program.

Researchers working for WWF warned that the effects of climate change, including an upsurge in droughts and floods, threaten the diverse habitat that supports these species. That is on top of traditional threats such as poaching, pollution and habitat destruction.

"Some species will be able to adapt to climate change, many will not, potentially resulting in massive extinctions," Chapman said in a statement. "Rare, endangered and endemic species like those newly discovered are especially vulnerable because climate change will further shrink their already restricted habitats."

Among the stars in the new list is a fanged frog in eastern Thailand. Given the scientific name Limnonectes megastomias, the frog lies in wait along streams for prey including birds and insects. Scientists believe it uses its fangs during combat with other males.

Another unusual discovery was the Cat Ba leopard gecko found on Cat Ba Island in northern Vietnam. Named Goniurosaurus catbaensis, it has large, orange-brown catlike eyes and leopard spots down the length of its yellowish brown body.

Stuck On You

Jennifer Aniston burst into tears in her trailer while filming in New York — telling an assistant that a scene "reminded her of Brad Pitt," a source said.

The unlucky-in-love actress was late coming out of her trailer while filming "The Bounty" with Gerard Butler a few weeks ago. The source tells Page Six that when an assistant went to fetch Aniston, she was in tears, and said, "I need a moment. This scene reminds me of Brad and me."

Aniston pulled herself together and managed to put on a smile when she eventually emerged from her trailer. The insider added, "While she enjoyed flirting with Gerard on set and put a brave face on every day, privately she is still very fragile."

Since Pitt dumped her back in 2005, Aniston has been involved with Vince Vaughn, Paul Sculfor and John Mayer. Describing how she had come to terms with her single-girl label, she told Elle's September issue, "If I'm the emblem for 'this is what it looks like to be the lonely girl getting on with her life,' so be it."

Aniston's spokesman, Stephen Huvane, says the story about her crying in the trailer is "ridiculous . . . it never happened."

Same Ol' Randy

Actor Randy Quaid and his wife have been released from a West Texas jail after their arrest for allegedly skipping out on a $10,000 California hotel bill.

Quaid and his wife, Evi, each posted $20,000 bail late Thursday after spending several hours in jail, Presidio County Sheriff Danny Dominguez told The Associated Press. Dominguez said he drove the actor to a bank to obtain the bail money.

The Quaids were taken into custody Thursday afternoon. Dominguez says a deputy spotted the couple driving into town, and that they had been staying at a Marfa hotel.

The felony warrant for Quaid and his wife was issued out of Santa Barbara County, California. The warrant was for burglary, defrauding an innkeeper and conspiracy.

Quaid won a Golden Globe Award and was nominated for an Emmy for his portrayal of President Lyndon Johnson in "LBJ: The Early Years"; but he's perhaps best known for his roles in the "National Lampoon's Vacation" movies, "Independence Day" and "Kingpin."

Getting Your Coffee On

Five women, employed by Everett's 'Grab-N-Go' espresso stand, have been charged with prostitution and violating the city's Adult Entertainment ordinance, Sergeant Robert Goetz told Q13 FOX News.

Police reportedly conducted a two month investigation into the bikini-clad baristas' behavior after multiple customers complained. During the probe, police found inappropriate and lewd behavior.

"For extra money these women would expose their entire body. If they were wearing a bikini they would either take it off or at least lower it. There were some allegations... Complaints from our citizens that they were performing whip cream shows between two women," Everett Police Sergeant Robert Goetz told Q13 FOX News.

In one instance, police responding to an alarm at the coffee shop found a barista with no clothes on, Q13FOX.com reported.

But Bill Wheeler, the owner of the Grab-N-Go, is defending his business — explaining that the women who work at the espresso stand each sign agreements guaranteeing that they will not behave inappropriately. Wheeler tells Q13 FOX News that the business' policy is strictly enforced and all employees who violate it are terminated immediately.

"Any girl caught doing anything illegal will be fired on the spot," Wheeler told Q13 FOX News. "Every girl that works for us knows that our policy states clearly, acceptable attire for work. They must cover their bottoms and use pasties, if necessary," Wheeler said.

If convicted, the bikini-clad baristas could face a fine of $1,000 and up to 90 days in jail.

Leonard, Part 6 - (Never) See It....

Leonard Part 6 is a 1987 comedy film, that parodies spy movies and is directed by Paul Weiland and starring Bill Cosby, who also produced the film and wrote its story. The movie also starred Joe Don Baker and Gloria Foster.

The movie was filmed in the San Francisco Bay Area, and was rated PG by the Motion Picture Association of America. It is considered by many to be one of the worst films of all time, earning several Golden Raspberry Awards; it was denounced in the press by Cosby himself in the weeks leading up to its release.

There are a couple of scenes with a killer rainbow trout and some killer frogs (who go under an agent's car and hop it into the river) that are weirdly funny.

The final scene, a spoof of the typical spy movie where the hero is a prisoner of the evildoer, involves killer lobsters and Leonard fending them off with the threat of melted butter and him beating the baddies by throwing hamburger patties at them (it seems they too were vegetarians).

The Hands Of Time

Protester #1

Four environmental protesters rappelled off the West End Bridge over the Ohio River, dangling perilously over the water while steadying a large banner warning of "climate destruction" if world leaders don't act to control carbon dioxide emissions. After about two hours, the protesters climbed safely back up to the bridge deck.

Police said they arrested nine in that episode. Police spokeswoman Diane Richard said five others wearing harnesses and preparing to rappel off another span, the Fort Pitt Bridge, also were arrested.

Sugar Daddy

Actress Mackenzie Phillips claims she had a long-term incestuous relationship with her father, musician John Phillips of the 60’s group the Mamas and the Papas.

In “High on Arrival,” her new tell-all book which hits stores today, the former “One Day at a Time” star says her first recollection of her father having sex with her was on the night before her wedding to Jeff Sessler, a member of the Rolling Stones entourage.

“On the eve of my [1979] wedding, my father showed up, determined to stop it,” Phillips, who was a teenager and strung out on drugs at the time, writes. “I had tons of pills, and Dad had tons of everything too. Eventually I passed out on Dad’s bed.

“My father was not a man with boundaries. He was full of love and he was sick with drugs. I woke up that night from a blackout to find myself having sex with my own father. Had this happened before? I didn’t know. All I can say is that it was the first time I was aware of it.”

According to Phillips, the relationship eventually became consensual and continued for ten years.

Phillips also told talk-show queen Oprah Winfrey that it was her father who shot her up for the first time with cocaine when she was just ten years old.

"I remember going into my room, I was crouched on the floor. ... He put the needle in my arm and put the plunger in and he missed," she says. "He missed the vein and my whole arm went numb."

The actress went on to endure severe drug addiction, which cost her role on “One Day at a Time,” divorce and an eventual felony cocaine possession charge in 2008.

Gun Safety

A Missouri man reportedly shot himself in the head accidentally while teaching his girlfriend about gun safety.

According to witnesses James Looney was insistent on giving his girlfriend a personal lesson in firearm safety Friday before taking her to a shooting range, MyFOXMemphis reported.

As part of the tutorial, Looney demonstrated different safety features on several firearms then put the guns to his head and asked if they would fire, Jefferson County Sheriff told the station.

The third gun actually went off.

The 40-year-old was pronounced dead at a local hospital the next morning — the same day he was to take his girlfriend to the range, the station reported.

Looks like Kevin Federline is tired of all the K-Overfed jokes, because TMZ has learned he officially signed on to do the next season of "Celebrity Fit Club."

Federline has packed on the pounds of late, but he's on a mission to reduce the rolls.

Earlier today, a TMZ employee watched Britney's ex saunter onto the Simi Valley, CA set of the VH1 weight-loss reality show.

Extracurricular Activities

A teacher in Thailand was captured on film beating a 14-year-old student and bashing his head against a blackboard, sparking national outrage and pledges Tuesday from education officials to crack down on corporal punishment in classrooms.

The 50-second clip, filmed by a classmate using a mobile phone, was broadcast Monday on a nationally televised morning news program.

"Are you really going to stop!" the male teacher shouted at the student, gripping the boy's neck in a choke hold and whacking his head repeatedly, according to the footage obtained by The Associated Press.

"I won't do it anymore," the boy screamed after the teacher slammed his head at least four times against the blackboard as his classmates watched, occasionally giggling.

The student had forgotten a textbook and the teacher reprimanded him, prompting the boy to sound off with profanities at the teacher who then flew into a rage, said the school's director Srithai Damrongrat.

The classmate who filmed it showed the clip to a neighbor who was so outraged he brought it to the headquarters of Thailand's Channel 3 television station.

Education Minister Jurin Laksanawisit announced Tuesday that the teacher had resigned and an investigation was under way to determine whether he should face criminal charges.

Cornrow Joe

Police in Philadelphia say a white officer who came to work with cornrows was ordered by a black superior to get a haircut because the braids violated department standards.

The Philadelphia Daily News reported Monday that Officer Thomas Strain was put on desk duty this month because of the braids, even though the paper reported dozens of black officers wear cornrows.

Police spokesman Lt. Frank Vanore said Strain's boss told the officer to cut his hair to look more "professional."

Vanore said officers' hats must fit "clean, properly trimmed and combed hair" that doesn't prevent them from wearing their uniform hat "in a military-manner," over their hair, and that Strain's hat did not. Strain got a haircut; he declined comment to the paper.

Vanore recalled only one black officer with braids in the past several years. He says that officer also was told to get a haircut.

America's Got Vodka

David Hasselhoff’s struggles with alcohol seem to be far from over, as new reports claim the actor was rushed to the hospital this weekend after severe alcohol poisoning.

According to Radar Online, Hasselhoff was at home with his 17-year-old daughter Hayley and his male assistant when he appeared to be in physical danger. After allegedly drinking for more than a day, his daughter found him and frantically called her mother, who then had a friend call the authorities.

Hasselhoff, 57, recently finished taping his show “America’s Got Talent and has been “boozing heavily on vodka” ever since, a source told Radar.

The hospitalization is the second one in just five months – he was previously taken away by an ambulance in May. According to Radar, he has been hospitalized more than five times in the past few years for alcohol poisoning.

Representatives for the actor tell TMZ that the hospitalization stemmed from an ear infection. According to the Hasselhoff camp, he was being treated by his family doctor and was taking Antivert for the infection and Antabuse, which prevents alcoholics from drinking. But he claims the combination threw his equilibrium off and he went to the emergency room when the family doctor was unavailable.

Making The Rounds...

President Barack Obama sat down with late night TV talk show host David Letterman on Monday, wrapping up a blitz of television appearances as he tries to build support for his top domestic priority, an ambitious health care overhaul plan.

Obama, America's first black president, also had his most irreverent answer yet on the question of whether some of the reaction to his health care plan is driven at least partly by racism.

"Was Jimmy Carter onto something ... was this unease or poor decorum rooted in racism, or is that just something to talk about?" Letterman asked.

"First of all, I think it's important to realize that I was actually black before the election," Obama said to huge laughs from Letterman and the audience.

When Java Strikes...

St. Louis is perking up with jokes about the $200,000 cup of coffee. But officials at a college and its insurance company aren't laughing.

St. Louis Community College at Forest Park must foot the bill after a coffee maker rigged to a faucet and left on in a photo lab led to a ruptured water line in July. About 10,000 gallons of water spilled down four floors, damaging ceilings, walls, computers and files.

The St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports the college's Board of Trustees will be asked to approve cleanup costs this week, including a $143,494 contract with a disaster-recovery company.

School officials hope the campus will be out only the $25,000 insurance deductible plus another $54,000 for miscellaneous expenses, including overtime costs.

Murder Tweet!

Jessica Simpson's beloved maltipoo Daisy was grabbed by a wild coyote that then vanished with the small dog, the singer wrote via Twitter Monday night.

"My heart is broken because a coyote took my precious Daisy right in front of our eyes. HORROR!" she Tweeted.

The message, which also offered a reward, asked that anyone with information about the caramel-colored pup e-mail this address, findingmissdaisy@gmail.com.

A slew of followers left messages for Simpson on Twitter. "I'm praying that you find her and she was able to defend herself. My heart hurts for you, I'm an animal lover and it's like losing a family member," wrote @healincomfort. "Pooor thing:( I hope you can find her- I cant believe it," wrote @barbshadow.

Simpson, 29, Jessica Simpson has created posters with Daisy's image offering a reward for the lost dog to anyone who can reunite her with her 5-year-old, caramel-colored dog.

Jackass

President Barack Obama called hip-hop musician Kanye West a "jackass" on Monday in an off-the-record comment during an interview with CNBC, an ABC News anchor reported on Twitter.

Obama was apparently weighing in on an interruption that occurred the night before during the MTV Video Music Awards where West grabbed the microphone from teen country singer Taylor Swift during her award acceptance speech to announce his belief that Beyonce had a better music video.

"Pres. Obama just called Kanye West a 'jackass' for his outburst at VMAs when Taylor Swift won. Now THAT'S presidential," "Nightline" co-anchor Terry Moran wrote Monday evening to his more than 1 million followers.

The tweet forced the network to issue an apology after the Internet quickly became abuzz over the stunning remark published on the microblogging site.

An ABC spokesperson said, "In the process of reporting on remarks by President Obama that were made during a CNBC interview, ABC News employees prematurely tweeted a portion of those remarks that turned out to be from an off-the-record portion of the interview," Politico reported. "This was done before our editorial process had been completed. That was wrong. We apologize to the White House and CNBC and are taking steps to ensure that it will not happen again."

Just When You Think You've Heard Of Everything...

Michigan police say a 35-year-old mother used the Internet to track down the son she gave up for adoption a decade ago, seducing and raping the teenage boy when she found him after an online search.

Aimee Louise Sword of Waterford Township, near Detroit, was arraigned this week on three charges of criminal sexual conduct for the alleged rape of her biological son, whom she put up for adoption more than 10 years ago, MyFOXDetroit reported.

Prosecutors say the boy is still a minor, but won't disclose whether he knew the woman was his mother — a situation that has horrified mental health experts who are calling the case "an abomination."

"I don't think I've heard of another case like this in my career," said Dr. Gerald Shiener, chief of Consultation and Liaison Psychiatry at Sinai Grace Hospital in Detroit.

Sword surrendered to Waterford Township police on April 24, the Oakland Press reported, but was freed on bond Wednesday following her arraignment. The house at her listed home address is abandoned.

Sword's attorney Kenneth Burch told the Press that his client "maintains her presumption of innocence" and said the accusations of incest have been very difficult for her.

But Sword herself has spoken since she first was arrested, writing on her MySpace page that she was inspired by rapper and former jailbird Lil' Kim because "she rises during the worst of obstacles." "Reminded me of myself," Sword wrote on the Web page, where she uses the name Aimee Pope.
