Leonardo DiCaprio is an addict! But don’t worry, it’s all legal.
The 32-year-old actor and his latest girlfriend, Israeli model Bar Rafaeli, 20, have been hitting kosher yogurt shop Berri Good in Los Angeles on Robertson Blvd., almost every day for an afternoon "fix."

Imagine waking up Christmas morning and opening your presents to find a cute doll that sings.  You play it and she belts out the F-bomb!  Doesn’t sound like an appropriate thing for a children’s toy to do.

A family in Florida is angry over a new Bratz doll that apparently uses profanity while singing, according to a Local 6 News report.
Miami resident Luis Arce said his daughter, 6-year-old Kristina, received a Bratz doll named Jade during Christmas.
Arce said when the toy began to sing, it used the "F" and "B" words, according to the report.
"I actually heard at the end some …read more

This story is just so odd.  Got any ideas as to why missing luggage would show up in the dumpster behind a pet store?  I’m totally at a loss for ideas.

Authorities were trying to figure out Tuesday how dozens of pieces of luggage belonging to air travelers ended up in a trash bin behind a Houston pet store.
FBI special agent Rolando Munoz said 68 pieces of luggage from various international flights were discovered. He said the luggage was turned over to Continental Airlines to sort out.
The bags belonged to travelers at George Bush Intercontinental Airport, said Sgt. Dana Wolfe, a …read more

The girls, two identical twins delivered from one womb and a single baby from the other, were born …read more

I’ve always thought people were just asking for it putting dolls out on their front lawns.  Mean people just love to steal stuff.  This story is extra special for me because I now live in Chicago.

Dozens of people looking for Jesus can find him at a church on Chicago’s South Side. Thirty-two plastic baby Jesus dolls were stolen last week from nativity scenes in people’s front yards. Then on Saturday morning a woman found all the missing Jesuses lined up along the fence on her lawn and she gave them to St. Symphorosa Church.
The Rev. Marcel Pasciak said the woman …read more

I can’t believe they screwed this up on the newest symbol of American patriotism!  At least the direction of the flag was incorrectly positioned on a technicality.

An American flag plastered on the first steel column for the Freedom Tower at ground zero was removed Wednesday after the builders realized the stars and stripes were on the wrong side.
The Port Authority of New York and New Jersey removed the decal on the 31-foot column after the media questioned the display, with the 50 stars on the right side instead of the left.
"When it’s laying down, it’s correct," said Bill Dolphin, 73, …read more

How can someone not know that it’s a dumb idea to put your baby on a conveyor belt that goes through an X-ray at an airport?  I’m really glad the baby was ok!

A woman sent her one-month-old grandson through an X-ray machine at Los Angeles International Airport, security officials said on Wednesday.
The woman, who spoke little English and was traveling to Mexico, put the infant in a plastic bin used to hold loose carry-on items for security scanning at the busy airport on Saturday morning.
Security screeners saw the baby as it started to pass through, pulled the bin out, and …read more

My husband recently had an identity theft scare because apparently someone hacked into the computer system of UCLA’s admissions office, but this is a more humorous case of stolen identity:

A 29-year-old woman allegedly forged documents and assumed the identity of an Annapolis attorney, apparently for the sole purpose of having sex with an inmate at a Baltimore prison.
"It was an elaborate scheme," said Maj. Priscilla Doggett, a spokeswoman for the prison system. "I’m not aware of something like this ever occurring before."
Police charged Tiffany Gwen Weaver, of Reisterstown with seven counts stemming from the alleged incident, including forgery, fraud, and …read more
