Aloha Means Goodbye

Former child TV star Gary Coleman died Friday after doctors took him off life support, Fox News confirms.

The "Diff'rent Strokes" star had slipped into a coma and was placed on life support after suffering an intracranial hemorrhage at his home Wednesday.

He was 42.

Jungle Woman

A woman dubbed the "jungle woman" after emerging naked and unable to speak from the wilds of northeastern Cambodia three years ago has apparently fled back to the forest, her presumed father and police said Friday.

Sal Lou, who claims to be the father of Rochom P'ngieng, said she went missing Tuesday while bathing by a well behind their home in Rattanakiri province, nearly 960 miles (600 kilometers) northeast of Phnom Penh. She is thought to be 29 years old.

"There is no sign indicating that her disappearance could be foul play. I am sure she went back to the forest," Sal Lou told The Associated Press by phone from the jungle area where he has been searching for her.

Rochom P'ngieng emerged from the jungle in early 2007, attracting attention when she was caught trying to steal food from a villager. Sal Lou's family then said she was their daughter, who was 8 when she disappeared in 1988 while herding buffalo in a remote area.

However, the relationship was never proven, and it was not established how she could have survived in the wild for 19 years. Some villagers suspected she was not Rochom P'ngieng, but someone else suffering from mental problems who had been lost in the jungle for a much briefer time.

Sal Lou said Friday he and his family members have searched for her for three days in several villages and in the jungle, but had no news from her. "She tried several times before to leave home and live back in the forest but she could not. This time her wish came true."

Where's Dudley?

Former child television star Gary Coleman is in critical condition near his Utah home with what his family calls a "serious medical problem."

Utah Valley Regional Medical Center spokeswoman Janet Frank said Coleman, 42, was admitted to the Provo facility on Wednesday but she couldn't release any other details.

In February, Coleman suffered a seizure on the set of "The Insider."

"Anything they could say would be premature because they don't know the full extent of his condition right now," Randy Kester, Coleman's Utah attorney, told The Associated Press.

Price and her father released a statement Thursday to KUTV-TV saying Coleman was taken to the hospital with "a serious medical problem." The statement asks for prayers, adding "we hope those prayers are answered and that Gary will be able to recover and return home soon."

Coleman has lived in Utah since 2005, when he came here to star in the movie "Church Ball," a comedy based on basketball leagues formed by members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. He met Price on the movie set and married her in 2007.

Coleman has had a string of financial and legal problems, in addition to continuing ill health from the kidney disease he suffered as a child. Coleman has had at least two kidney transplants and has ongoing dialysis.

Last fall, Coleman had heart surgery that was complicated by pneumonia, Kester said.

Crazy Old Hat

Sarah Jessica Parker turned heads -- including her castmates' -- at the London premiere of 'Sex and the City 2' Thursday with an extravagant hat by Philip Treacy and a matching gown by late designer Alexander McQueen.

"He made the dress for me two years ago," she said of McQueen, who died in February. "I wouldn't have worn anything else. I wore it as an emotional tribute to him. Lee, this is for you. I miss you very much."

But the headgear was the real star of the show. New York magazine liked it, but said it looked like "a swarm of gnats descending on her head -- but, you know, glitter disco gnats."

The ornamental headpiece hearkened back to a similar noggin-top she work at the London premiere of the first film. That green, flowery number was the main attraction as well and dominated the chatter on fashion blogs for days.

50 Less

Believe it or not, but that is 50 Cent.

The formerly buff recording artist and actor shed 50 pounds using a liquid diet for a role as a cancer patient in the upcoming film “Things Fall Apart,” his rep told CNN.

The performer, whose real name is Curtis Jackson, tweeted photos showing him looking gaunt and the images eventually made their way to Facebook and various blogs.

A spokesperson for the rapper said the photos were taken several weeks ago and he has since started to gain the weight back.

According to the New York Daily News, Jackson will portray a football player diagnosed with cancer in the Mario Van Peebles film.

A Dominican man was left with a 27-day erection after a cocaine binge, the Daily Mirror Newspaper reported Thursday.

Luis Rodriguez was told by surgeons in Santiago, Dominican Republic that his condition was caused by his cocaine use, and warned that if he continued to abuse the drug, his penis would likely rot off.

"It could lead to necrosis, and that would necessitate severe surgery," urologist, Dr. Milton Alvarez Rosa said.

68 Strips Of Bacon

A milkshake containing 2,010 calories — equivalent to eating 68 strips of bacon or 30 chocolate chip cookies — has topped a list of the 20 worst drinks in America compiled by Men's Health magazine.

The Cold Stone PB&C milkshake, made with peanut butter, chocolate ice cream and milk, contains 68 grams of saturated fat and 153 grams of sugar, according to nutritional details on the company's website.

"In terms of saturated fat, drinking this Cold Stone catastrophe is like slurping up 68 strips of bacon," the magazine said.

The second worst drink in America was listed as the Peanut Power Plus Grape from Smoothie King with a large cup packing 1,498 calories and the same amount of sugar as 20 Reese's Peanut Butter Cups chocolate and peanut butter snacks.

McDonald's large Triple Thick Chocolate Shake came in third with 1,160 calories or the equivalent of 13 of the fast food chain's hot apple pies.

A spokesman from the Cold Stone Creamery pointed out that the company does also offer low-calorie, reduced-fat options for customers looking for "a lighter indulgence" such as its range of sinless smoothies with only 110.

Mix-Up

A Florida mother, Dana Hill says her second-grader brought home a DVD with porn on it from school.

"I feel like their innocence has been tainted with," Hill said.

Hill's 8-year-old daughter, a student at Rock Crusher Elementary School in Crystal River, was handed a DVD she thought had class pictures of school events throughout the year, MyFoxTampaBay reports.

But investigators say instead, Hill's daughter and 12-year-old son got an x-rated eyeful when they played the disc. "She came back and told me there were no pictures of her or her schoolmates, that it was a girl taking off her pants showing her private areas," said Hill.

The Citrus County Sheriffs Office says the mix-up happened when the teacher was making copies of the school pictures from her home.

"She burned 19 DVDs and her husband has a vast porn collection, and while he was helping her package the CDs to be handed out at school, one of DVDs got packaged in the wrong place," Hill explained.

The Sheriff's office says they can't prove criminal intent, so no charges will be filed against the teacher.

The school district is still investigating the incident. They will decide in the next few days whether the teacher will face any disciplinary action.

Stuck In Philly

Airline officials are trying to figure out how a sleeping passenger was left aboard a flight for four hours after it landed in Philadelphia.

According to police and the Transportation Security Administration, the passenger didn't wake up when her United Express flight from Dulles airport outside Washington landed shortly after midnight Tuesday. At about 4 a.m., a cleaning crew found her.

United Airlines says they're working with a regional partner carrier to determine why the plane wasn't cleared upon landing.

Pork Chops & Applesauce

A Californian woman who was accused of attacking an airport security guard for trying to seize her applesauce as she boarded a plane was fined $2,500 over the incident -- and is refusing to pay, The Glendale News Press reported Wednesday.

Nadine Kay Hays' legal troubles appeared over last month when Glendale Superior Court Judge Frederick R. Rotenberg told Hays that he would dismiss a criminal case against her in six months if she stayed out of trouble.

But last week she received a letter from the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) telling her she had to pay a $2,500 fine.

"When I received the letter I just flipped out. I take it very personally given everything else that happened," said Hays.

"Unfortunately, sometimes people in positions of authority are unethical, unprofessional or just downright criminal in their activity. And in that case, if you're in the right, you need to stand up for yourself. And that's what I did in my case -- what they did was wrong, and what I did was right."

In April 2009, Hays had packed the sweet-tasting condiment and other snacks into a cooler to take on board for her elderly mother, myFOXla.com reported.

But when the 58-year-old was told she couldn’t take it on the plane she refused to hand the blue container over -- sparking a "tug-of-war" with a TSA agent at Bob Hope airport in Burbank, Calif.

Hays, who was heading to Nashville for a family wedding with her 93-year-old mother, insisted she had followed procedures and that her mother needed the items for a medical condition.

Acceptance

Roadkill

Two Cleveland police officers have been suspended for six months without pay for driving by a roadside corpse, mistaking it for a dead deer.

Public Safety Director Martin Flask said Tuesday the officers failed to slow or stop their vehicle to investigate and made false reports of their patrol activities.

Officers Matthew Prince and David Muniz will be retrained and reassigned when they return to duty.

Steve Loomis, president of the Cleveland Police Patrolman's Association, says the union accepts the punishment.

The officers drove by the corpse April 5, calling a highway crew to report a deer carcass on Interstate 90. When crews arrived, they discovered the body 28-year-old Angel Bradley-Crocket. Two people have been charged in her strangulation death.

7 Feet, 8.33 Inches

Guinness World Records has recognized a Minnesota man as the tallest man in the United States.

The Guinness World Record Association measured Rochester's Igor Vovkovinskiy (voh-kov-IN'-ski) at 7 feet, 8.33 inches tall during NBC's "The Dr. Oz Show" on Monday. He edged out Norfolk, Va., sheriff's deputy George Bell by a third of an inch.

The 27-year-old Vovkovinskiy is originally from Ukraine but moved to Minnesota with his mother when he was 7 years old for treatment at the Mayo Clinic for a pituitary disease that spurred his rapid growth.

Vovkovinskiy now attends the Minnesota School of Business and is pursuing a degree in paralegal studies.

Guinness says the world's tallest man is Turkey's Sultan Kosen. He measures in at 8 feet, 1 inch tall.

Goth Kit

A judge has denied a request for a new trial from a Pennsylvania woman convicted of animal cruelty for selling "gothic kittens" online.

Luzerne County Judge Tina Polachek Gartley upheld the guilty verdict against 35-year-old Holly Crawford on Wednesday.

Crawford was convicted of one count of animal cruelty in February after state police searched her home and seized three kittens with ear, neck and tail piercings. She was sentenced to six months of house arrest.

Crawford's attorney claimed the jury's verdict was inconsistent because she was found guilty of one charge but not the other two. Defense attorney Jeffrey Conrad says he will appeal.

Finality?

The alternate reality, where they were all back in LA and Desmond tried to get them all back together, that was purgatory. The only way they could move on was by getting together to realise their time on the island with each other was the most important part of their lives. So they remembered this, found peace, and could move on. Ana Lucia and Ben couldn't move on yet as they weren't ready, they're waiting for their own peace.

Everything that happened on the island actually happened. Jack died there, lying next to Vincent, like when he arrived. Hugo went on to protect the island, eventually dying (how, we don't know) with Ben as his number 2 (hence the comment by Hugo in purgatory).

The people who got on the plane all took off, got back to America, and lived full lives until death.

It was in death where everybody was waiting for Jack to "let go". Once he did, everything was resolved and they could move on.

Soda Poop

Children are the future and that includes the South Jersey student who allegedly defecated in a classmate's soda and those who laughed as the classmate unwittingly drank it.

It happened March 29 inside a classroom at Haddon Township High School, authorities said.

"Apparently once the victim drank from the cup, students in the classroom erupted in laughter," said Jason Laughlin, a spokesman for the Camden County Prosecutor's Office.

When a teacher found out the next day, Laughlin said, the accused 17-year-old was charged with aggravated assault and tampering with a food product.

Calls to the principal for comment were not returned yesterday, and Superintendent Mark Raivetz declined to say whether the junior had been disciplined.

The accused, a standout wrestler, was not identified because of his age. His mother said the incident was being "blown out of proportion" and declined to comment further. His father is a physical-education teacher in the district.

Totally Awesome

MSG

Forget courtside - up to a thousand fans will get to sit in premium nosebleed seats on the two sky bridges that will be built five stories above the playing floor as part of the $850 million inside-out reconstruction of Madison Square Garden, the "world's most famous arena."

"This is our signature element. It will be a unique experience in sports and entertainment," Hank Ratner, CEO of Madison Square Garden, told The Post.

Rather than merely renovate the Garden, the project, funded without a dime in taxpayer subsidies, calls for building an entirely new arena in the shell of the 1968 building, he said.

"This gives us the best of both worlds. We keep what's iconic -- the exterior and the famous ceiling -- and create a whole new building," Ratner said.

After conducting focus groups with fans, MSG officials found that the biggest complaints were over the arena's lobby, its narrow concourses, the limited food choices, the lack of bathrooms and the poor sightlines at the higher levels, Ratner said.

One longtime complaint about the Garden is that the building gives no sense of its location in the heart of Manhattan.

By moving out most of the office space, the revamp will turn the somewhat claustrophobic lower concourse into a wide thoroughfare with city views, shopping and a slew of high-end dining options.

This concourse will also pay homage to the Garden's history, with tributes to Knick and Ranger championships to such landmark events as the Ali-Frazier fight.

Also, as part of the first phase, to be completed for the 2011-12 season, is the addition of 20 "event-level" suites. Located below courtside and featuring kitchens, bathrooms, fireplaces and dining rooms "nicer than most apartments in Manhattan," the suites lead right up to the best seats in the house.

The sky bridges and new lobby are set to be completed for the 2013-14 season, along with a party deck on the 10th floor and remodeled upper-level suites.

Olé

Julio Aparicio, 41, was wounded on Friday evening during a bullfight at Madrid's Las Ventas bullring. The half-ton bull caught the torero under his chin after he lost his footing and stumbled while executing a pass with his red cape at the Spanish capital's packed bullring.

The horn of the animal tore into the bullfighter's throat and emerged through his mouth in a dramatic goring on Friday evening that had the crowd screaming in horror.

The pink-stockinged, sequined matador was lifted into the air and then dropped to the sand. The bull backed away after it was distracted by fellow matadors who dashed to the rescue.

Mr Aparicio struggled to his feet, staggered a few yards, spluttering blood and was then carried from the ring and into the medical ward at the Las Ventas arena.

He was initially treated at the ring's emergency medical unit, then transferred to the city's October 12th Hospital where he underwent a six-hour operation.

On Monday he was moved out of the intensive care unit and the October 12th Hospital said in a statement that Mr Aparicio's condition was "evolving favourably" and that his prognosis was "less serious".

Women Are From Venus

Venus Williams was back on the courts for the French Open in Paris this weekend, playing against Switzerland's Patty Schnyder.

But let's face it, not a single person was focusing on their game, because Venus was, to put it lightly, letting it all hang out.

Sure, she had on shorts under her, uh, tennis teddy, but they were the same color of her flesh, no doubt making everyone think to themselves, "Um, did I just see Venus' butt cheeks?"

We're all for fashion-forward looks on the court, but next time Venus, maybe this number should be left to the bedroom.

Take a look and see for yourself....

It's A Happy Divorce

Sarah Ferguson, 50, allegedly asked an undercover reporter posing as a wealthy businessman for a $40,000 cash down payment in return for an introduction to the Prince, as well as a $724,000 fee wired directly into her bank account.

Ferguson also insisted on a one percent commission from any deals the businessman worked out as a result of her royal connections.

The duchess claimed to have discussed the terms with her former husband, saying, "Andrew said to me, 'tell him £500,000.'"

She also suggested Prince Andrew, who works as an unpaid special representative for the government agency U.K. Trade & Investment, would be a willing business partner. “Look after me and he’ll look after you ... you’ll get it back tenfold. I can open any door you want,” she was recorded as saying.

There is no suggestion that the prince was ever aware of the meetings or the claims reportedly made by the duchess.

According to the News of the World, its reporter met the duchess twice -- in New York on May 13 and in London last week.

The newspaper also said the duchess sent representatives to the undercover reporter with a confidentiality agreement ahead of the London meeting. But when the alleged businessman refused to sign the gagging order, Ferguson went ahead with talks.

Accompanied by two assistants, she told the fake businessman that her former husband, who she divorced in 1996 and has two children with, called her “five times a day” and said: “We’re the happiest divorced couple in the world.”

Killer

A British mother died after a doctors failed to spot a 6-inch long toilet brush handle embedded in her buttocks, a judicial investigation into her death was told Tuesday.

Cindy Corton, 35, was left with the bizarre injury after a drunken fall in a friend's bathroom in 2005, but doctors missed it — even after taking X-rays.

It was two years before Corton, who was in constant pain, was able to convince doctors that the thin serrated plastic handle was stuck in her flesh.

By then, what should have been a routine procedure to remove it, had become much more dangerous because the handle was embedded in her pelvis.

After two unsuccessful operations in 2007, the mother-of-one was in such agony that she agreed to undergo further surgery in June 2009, despite being told it could be fatal.

Corton spent more than 10 hours in surgery at Queens Medical Center in Nottingham, England, but died from massive blood loss.

Doctors who first saw her at Lincoln County Hospital and Grantham Hospital, both in central England, were slammed for "serious errors." "It was a significant foreign object,” West Lincolnshire coroner Stuart Fisher said. “It is difficult to image anything more significant."

Feeding Frenzy

Actress Julie Bowen went on George Lopez's late-night show to brag on her twin one-year-old boys.

She also bragged about the "double football" breastfeeding style she used to feed the tykes - and brought photos to illustrate!

The "Modern Family" star said she had taken the same picture onto her appearance at "The View," but the ladies refused to air it.

Lopez had no such problem on late night.

Miss Russia

MyFoxNY reports that a special narcotics officer apprehended former Miss Russia beauty queen, Anna Malova. She was charged Tuesday with criminal possession of narcotics, forgery and criminal impersonation of a physician.

Police nabbed Malova after she walked out of a pharmacy on 6th Avenue in Greenwich Village, New York.

Just 12 years ago, the former Miss World and Miss Russia seemed to be on top of the world after she made the top 10 in the Miss Universe pageant.

The pharmacist said Malova's doctor believed Malova stole a prescription pad and wrote out phony prescriptions for painkillers.

Malova was praised for being a medical doctor in her native Russia when she won the crown, but is not licensed to practice medicine here in the United States.

Wheels (Fell Off)

A Delaware man who allegedly forged his way into Harvard University with a fabricated record of academic achievement has been ordered held on $5,000 bail after pleading not guilty Tuesday at his arraignment.

Adam Wheeler, 23, faces 20 counts of larceny, identity fraud and other charges in connection to allegedly duping Harvard out of $45,000 in financial aid, scholarship money and academic awards.

Prosecutors say Wheeler claimed he earned straight A's at Phillips Academy in Andover and at MIT prior to enrolling at Harvard. But Wheeler, in reality, had never attended either school, according to Middlesex District Attorney Gerry Leone.

Wheeler's web of academic deceit unraveled in September when he sought the school's endorsement for Rhodes and Fulbright scholarships and a professor reviewing his applications found evidence that he had plagiarized from another professor, Leone said.

Wheeler, whose next court date is scheduled for June 9, would have graduated from Harvard as an English major this spring and tried to transfer to Yale and Brown after he was caught at Harvard, Leone said, again by falsifying his achievements and recommendations.

In his applications, Wheeler said he was employed by McLean Hospital, a psychiatric facility affiliated with Harvard, even though he was not, said Leone, adding that the transfer application included faked recommendations from an employee at the hospital and from his former Harvard dean.

Wheeler looked down throughout Tuesday's arraignment, occasionally glancing at his parents, Richard and Lee Wheeler, the Boston Herald reports. Wheeler's parents and a young woman with the couple did not comment.

Cash Stash

A worker at a furniture liquidation business found bundles of cash hidden in the back of an armoire.

The owners of the company, Liz and Mark Thompson of ET Estate Sales & Liquidation, traced the furniture to an estate sale and were able to return $20,000 to the family of the owner.

The Tri-City Herald reports the money belongs to Ron Davidson's sister, a 78-year-old widow he does not want to name. She lost her husband to cancer in February and has moved into an assisted- living home in the Tri-Cities.

Davidson says with her medical bills and stress, the cash is a blessing. Davidson says her husband stashed the money years ago because he distrusted the banking system.

"Lohani"?

Lindsay Lohan, 23, who previously dated deejay Samantha Ronson, has been secretly seeing Indrani, 36 -- half of the respected lens duo of Markus Klinko and Indrani -- since the women worked together on a photo shoot last fall.

Sources say Lohan and Indrani, also known as Julia I. Pal-Chaudhuri, have been on a series of dates in LA and recently spent the night at Lohan's hotel.

Indrani told The Post, "We have been spending a lot of time together. I have never had a relationship with a woman before, but Lindsay is just somebody who I find fascinating, gorgeous and extremely smart, as well as super-hot.

"Lindsay gets a lot of bad press, but she's a really strong, creative woman and is trying really hard to get her life in a good, positive place."

Klinko said the pair are good for each other. "Lindsay and Indrani have been seeing each other since we shot her last fall," he said. "I've seen them on dates, I have seen them making out . . . Indrani is a good influence on Lindsay. She is the opposite of a party girl -- a Princeton graduate, she's into art and is a philanthropist -- not what you'd expect the typical girl for Lindsay to go out with.

Blumen(thal) Onion

Connecticut Attorney General Richard Blumenthal is fighting back against a New York Times report that says he falsely stated his military service in Vietnam, saying the newspaper has created an "outrageous distortion" of his comments.

-"We have learned something important since the days I served in Vietnam," Blumenthal, a Democrat, told a veterans group in March 2008, the Times reported.
- The Times reported that Blumenthal has on several occasions left the impression that he served in Vietnam. At a 2003 rally, Blumenthal reportedly told military families gathering to show support for U.S. troops that, "When we returned, we saw nothing like this."
-In 2008, he talked about his service during the "Vietnam era" and said he remembered "the taunts, the insults, sometimes even the physical abuse."

But the Times found that Blumenthal received five deferments from 1965 to 1970 while studying at Harvard and pursuing other educational and career opportunities. He finally landed a spot in the Marine Reserve that nearly guaranteed him that he wouldn't be sent to the war zone.

Blumenthal has acknowledged that he may have misspoken about his military service and said his intention "has always been to be completely clear and accurate and straightforward."

A number of local newspapers in Connecticut have claimed, incorrectly, that Blumenthal served in Vietnam. According to the Times report, Blumenthal did not appear to make an effort to correct those reports.

Candid Kendra

It looks as though it won’t be long before the world can see Hugh Hefner’s former flame Kendra Wilkinson like never before in a XXX sex tape.

Pop Tarts exclusively obtained the cover art for “Kendra Exposed,” which features a large picture of the reality starlet smiling beside three smaller screen grabs from the alleged tape that show Wilkinson sucking her finger, licking sheets and staring sexily into the lens.

The tape was originally slated to come out at the end of this month; however the release has been pushed back to June while “legal issues” are being negotiated, said a source.

Wilkinson reportedly made the tape when she was 18, long before her marriage to NFL player Hank Baskett.

Numerous reports have said that the San Diego native attempted to sell the tape herself back in 2008 when she was engaged to Baskett. But since getting married and giving birth to a baby boy last year, the 24-year-old has apparently had a change of heart and has hired a lawyer in attempt to stop her dirty laundry from being exposed.

According to Life & Style, Wilkinson’s husband is “totally upset and embarrassed,” and concerned about how his wife’s sex tape will affect his NFL career.

"Hank makes her (Kendra) pray before meals now. His family is so religious and he really calmed her down a lot, he's good for her," Kendra’s bridesmaid and playmate Brittany Ginger told Pop Tarts just before they tied-the-knot in 2009.

Family Lickin' Good

A horse shot twice with a crossbow by unknown vandals survived after four fellow mares spent three hours taking turns — to lick the wound clean.

The 20-year-old horse, Zeta, was in critical condition after one of the arrows bounced off her rib, while another lodged an inch from her lung as she grazed in a field in the U.K. Owner Jo Young, 39, said the four other horses saved Zeta's life.

"It was really touching that when she was found the other horses in the field were nuzzling her for comfort and licking the wound,” Young said. "They kept the wound clean which would have prevented it from being infected by bacteria. It also helped to stem the blood flow.”

"There was definitely a herd instinct kicking in among the horses. They knew Zeta was in need and they rallied round to save her," he said.

Witnesses saw a group of teenage boys running away from the field at the time of the attack.

Quality Is Our Recipe

A Florida woman is facing charges after being accused of chasing a Wendy's employee with a stun gun when she got upset about her order.

Police in Daytona Beach say Melanese Asia Reid got into an argument with an employee at the drive-thru Monday. She got out of the vehicle and went into the store, along with Katrina Mari-Alyce Bryant.

Witnesses say Reid pulled out a pink stun gun and chased the employee while Bryant cheered her on. The two women reportedly left when a manager threatened to call police.

Police tracked them down later after Bryant called the store back to complain about the service.

Reid was charged with aggravated assault with a deadly weapon and Bryant was charged with being a principal to aggravated assault with a deadly weapon.

Boobquake!

A prominent hard-line Iranian cleric who said promiscuity and immodest dress cause earthquakes says God may be holding off on natural disasters in the West in order to let people sin more and consign themselves to hell.

Kazem Sedighi sparked widespread derision with his pronouncements in a prayer sermon last month linking earthquakes with women's dress.

"Many women who do not dress modestly ... lead young men astray, corrupt their chastity and spread adultery in society, which (consequently) increases earthquakes," Sedighi said in mid April. In a new sermon Friday, he has defended and elaborated on his claim.

Sedighi notes that some might ask why there aren't more earthquakes and storms striking Western nations that are "up to their necks" in immorality. He says the answer is that God allows some of those who "provoke His wrath" to continue sinning "so that they (eventually) go to the bottom of Hell."

In response to Sedighi's earlier comments, blogger Jennifer McCreight of Indiana had called on women to show as much cleavage as possible through a Facebook page aptly named Boobquake. Despite an earthquake that surprisingly did strike on April 26, the appointed day of Boobquake, McCreight remains convinced that cleavage doesn't cause quakes.

Meanwhile "saddened" by the frivolousness of Boobquake, a second Facebook group called for "Brainquake," a day for women to “show off their resumes, CVs, honors, prizes, and accomplishments.”

Plans for 2025

Japanese scientists, engineers and financiers have begun work on a project that will make the construction excesses of Dubai look timid: a tower 3,300-foot high and a vertical farm balanced on a floating concrete lilypad.

By the year 2025, they claim, all the necessary technology should be ready to start building -- assuming a suitable patch of calm, equatorial ocean can be identified.

At first glance, the Green Float project seems highly improbable: Artificial rafts have never been built on this scale before, much less ones capable of supporting what will be, by far, the world’s tallest building. Even the investment bank Nomura, which is the chief facilitator of the project, has not speculated on how much it will cost or who will pay for it.

Energy will be drawn from solar power, so plentiful sunshine is a must, while the structure of the island demands reliably calm waters, low wind speeds, predictable temperature and a low risk of tsunamis or typhoons.

The project is expected to lure a number of Japan’s largest technology groups and the research work has already begun at leading universities and engineering companies.

The engineering giant Shimizu envisages building the tower from super-light alloys derived from the magnesium in seawater. Once an island with a diameter of 3km is created, each new floor of the tower will be built at ground level, pushing the previous floor down into the sea. When the 3,300-foot mark is reached, the tower will be raised to its full height.

The huge circular base will be part mangrove plantation, part cornfields and part livestock ranch -- all built on a lattice of 7,000-ton honeycomb pontoons.

Cookin' With Gas

A nine-year-old boy was forced naked into an oven by his father at the family's townhouse in New York after rummaging in his dad's wallet, SILive.com reported on Friday.

The incident happened in the Graniteville neighborhood of Staten Island at about 9 p.m. ET Wednesday, according to a spokesman for District Attorney Daniel Donovan.

The boy was put in an unlit oven by 6-foot-3 James Moss, 52, before being forced to hold his hands over an open flame on the burner for two minutes, stated court papers.

The child, who was treated for second and third degree burns at Staten Island University Hospital in South Beach, was hit with a spatula, smacked on the face and dragged across the floor by Moss, according to police.

Moss was charged with second-degree assault and endangering the welfare of a child and was remanded to Rikers Island, New York City's main jail complex, after he failed to post a $15,000 bail or bond.

Yeah, I Watched...So What!?!

After three seasons, Comedy Central yesterday canceled, "The Sarah Silverman Program."

Even a plucky Twitter campaign -- initiated by Silverman's sister Laura, who also appears on the show -- wasn't enough to save it.

The series has been on a rocky road all season.

Since its debut, the ratings have fallen by more than two-thirds -- from 1.8 million viewers in 2007 to less than 600,000 last spring. Even before filming began, Comedy Central cut the show's budget by 20 percent, prompting Silverman to threaten to walk out.

Logo, a cable network owned by Viacom, which also owns Comedy Central, stepped in at the last minute to help finance this season's 10 episodes.

Then, midway through the season, Comedy Central moved the series from its prime 10:30 p.m. slot -- right before the hit "Daily Show with Jon Stewart" -- to midnight, touching off speculation that the show was doomed.

...Or Don't. I Don't Care.

Presto!

Paleontologists in Brazil have reportedly unearthed a near complete fossil of a giant predator that roamed the planet before the dinosaurs.

The 22-foot-long, 900-pound creature, known as Prestosuchus chiniquensis, was discovered by a team of paleontologists from the Lutheran University of Brazil, the U.K. Daily Mail reported Thursday.

The remains uncovered in the town of Dona Francisca, 160 miles from Porto Alegre, Brazil, reportedly show the most complete fossil of a pre-dinosaur predator ever found.

The menacing creature, which belonged to a family of reptiles called theconts, had a deep skull with serrated teeth and a long tail, according to the website. The predator was a relation of the crocodile and lived some 238 million years ago during the Triassic Period.

She'll Always Be Winnie...

Danica McKeller, who famously played the innocent Winnie Cooper on “The Wonder Years” is taking it (almost) all off for Maxim’s June issue.

McKeller used to be every young boy’s fantasy and with these new pics, she will surely be back there once again. But despite the racy photos, the soon-to-be mom says she’s always been the wholesome girl that men adore.

"I've always been really cautious about guys who have a Winnie Cooper fantasy, and I'm so glad about that," she told the magazine. "I mean, I can count on one hand the guys I've been with. It was really challenging, but I never gave it up too soon, if you know what I mean."

The actress-turned-mathematician is about to release her third book, “Hot X: Algebra Exposed” in August. She explains to the magazine, that her books are intended “to help girls who [believe] that stigma that math is only for guys or you have to be a nerd to like math.”

Instead, she says, “Let’s make math fun and sexy and glamorous. Smart is sexy, that’s one of my main messages."

The actress, who has been married for a little over a year finds guys with good math skills sexy. “It’s really cool when a guy tips 20 percent quickly and effortlessly so that when the check comes, he opens it and signs his name and done,” she says.
