Housekeeping...Want Me Fluff Your Pillow?!?

Two cleaning women, trapped inside a broken elevator for two days, survived on two cough drops and six aspirin until they were rescued.

Beata Bartoszewicz and her mother, Roma Borowski, entered an elevator in an empty building in this Chicago suburb on Dec. 22. After the elevator doors closed, the women discovered they were stuck on the first floor of the two-story building.

Neither had a cell phone or water and the building wasn't due to open until after Christmas.

The women tried to sleep on their coats and used a corner of the elevator as a bathroom.

Two days later, on Christmas Eve, an employee of the building happened to go to work. Borowski said she heard him talking on his cell phone. The women yelled for his attention and he heard them.

A CHRISTMAS MIRACLE!!!~….but do they have to clean the elevator now?

TIMBER!!!

"Fire" Truck

Having live electrical wires fall on her truck and set it on fire wasn't enough to slow a motorist in southwest Michigan. State police say the unnamed woman ran a stop sign Monday night in Van Buren County's Paw Paw Township and hit a cable supporting a utility pole.

The pole came down and the wires fell onto the truck, but the woman backed onto the roadway and resumed driving.

Trooper Rick Carlson said the driver kept going until flames engulfed the truck and she had to jump out. An ambulance caught up to her and took her to a Kalamazoo hospital for burns to her hands and head. Her injuries weren't life-threatening.

Carlson says the woman's dog, a pug, also was burned but survived.

Buffalo Tom

A man who took one of his pet buffaloes for a ride at a ranch north of Phoenix on New Year's Eve ended up being bucked off the animal and trampled, authorities said.

The unidentified 75-year-old man was flown to a Scottsdale hospital with non-life threatening injuries after the incident in rural Cave Creek, a chief with the Rural/Metro Fire Department said.

"He saddled up, got bucked off and was mauled," said John Kraetz, a district chief for the fire department. Kraetz said he's never been on a similar call.

"People do have buffalo on their property, but it's pretty darn uncommon," he said.

The Bearded Ladies...

Lookin' Good...

A former beauty queen accused of biting and torturing her ex-boyfriend over missing jewelry is out on bond while authorities search for another ex-boyfriend that police say helped her kidnap and assault the victim.

The 25-year-old Kumari Fulbright, midway through her second year in law school, faces a long prison term if convicted of kidnapping, armed robbery, aggravated robbery and two counts of aggravated assault.

The victim, Fulbright's ex-boyfriend, had injuries consistent with his version of events. Injuries included bite marks, swollen hands and wrists with marks from being tied up, Pacheco said.

Police say Fulbright invited the victim to her apartment in a single-story midtown duplex and excused herself to shower after he arrived.

The Ergonis brothers then showed up and bound him with plastic cable ties and duct tape, accused him of taking the jewelry and threatened to shoot him with pistols. Fulbright finished her shower, dressed and returned to join in the threats.

She allegedly bit the man on his forearm, right hand and ear, and she stuck a butcher knife in his ear and told him she was going to kill him.

After a time, they took him to Hammond's house elsewhere in the city, where the assault continued, then returned him to Fulbright's house and left him tied up with Fulbright holding him with a handgun. At some later point, the victim freed a hand and grabbed the gun, which discharged but hit no one.

As their struggle spilled outside, the man screamed for help, then ran to a home down the block, while Fulbright returned to her apartment.

Work It, Girl!

A model who says she has worked hard to maintain a wholesome image has filed a $5 million lawsuit complaining that a jewelry company's video advertisement in which she writhes and moans looks pornographic.

The commercial, seen on the Internet in a clip entitled "Rock Her World," shows a woman wearing blue lacy lingerie and a diamond necklace while moaning and stroking her face and neck.

The 37-year-old woman claims in her lawsuit that she did not "consent to or authorize the use of her likeness, picture, image or name to simulate a female having an orgasm or otherwise experiencing sexual pleasure."

"Indeed, the music to the commercial is bump-and-grind burlesque type music, which further provides the advertisement with a decidedly pornographic look, feel and sound," states the lawsuit, which was filed Monday in Manhattan's state Supreme Court.

"Y'all Fat, And Y'all Eat Too Much"

A 6-foot-3, 265-pound man says a restaurant overcharged him for his trips to the buffet line, then banned him and a relative because they're hearty eaters.

Ricky Labit, a disabled offshore worker, said he had been a regular for eight months at the Manchuria Restaurant in Houma, eating there as often as three times a week.

On his most recent visit, he said, a waitress gave him and his wife's cousin, 44-year-old Michael Borrelli, a bill for $46.40, roughly double the buffet price for two adults. "She says, 'Y'all fat, and y'all eat too much,"' Labit said.

Labit and Borrelli said they felt discriminated against because of their size. "I was stunned, that somebody would say something like that. I ain't that fat, I only weigh 277," Borrelli said, adding that a waitress told him he looked like he had a "baby in the belly."

The argument grew heated, and police were called.

"Food is for eating, not toys for your child," reads a sign posted on a wall in typewritten text. A handwritten addition reads "Or 20% added."

Big Spender

A Texas police officer is accused of hiring a prostitute and paying her with his wife's shoes and clothes, MyFOXAustin.com reports.

Scott Lando, a 45-year-old police officer with the Austin Police Department, allegedly paid the hooker with his wife's new Harley Davidson boots, a pair of studded blue jeans and a shirt, according to a search warrant obtained by the station.

He also took the woman shopping at Wal-Mart and Payless ShoeSource, according to the report.

Department officials first heard the allegations in June 2006, and the prostitute in question said she had relations with the officer in his patrol car in North Austin, MyFOXAustin.com reports.
