Daily Mailreports a man with a camera phone has been arrested after allegedly following children around department stores while touching himself and whispering for their attention.
Less than two months after Jonathan Davis was arrested for allegedly performing a sex act on himself in front of a young girl in a K-Mart in Hialeah, Florida, he has been arrested again for aggravated stalking of a minor.
Davis, 40, who is currently free on bail, was arrested on Friday after a security guard at a Burlington Coat Factory noticed him following three girls through the store.
This..err.. I don�t know what to call it should�ve never been allowed to compete in this contest period. She was born a man and that�s the way the good Lord intended her to be. If she, err, it wants to compete in a beauty contest, let the transgender people have their own competition.
Daily Mailreports the first-ever transgender contestant to compete in the Miss Universe Canada pageant has lost her bid to win the title.
Jenna Talackova, 23, competed with 61 contestants on Saturday night. She was among the final 12 contestants.
Talackova, who was born a male, underwent a sex change four years ago. The Vancouver, British Columbia, native was initially denied entry to Canada's pageant because she was not a natural-born female.
This piece of filth should never have been released back to Libya. Justice dictated he should�ve died in prison in Scotland instead of living a life of luxury and being hailed a hero in Libya.
The Huffngton Post reports Abdel Baset al-Megrahi, a former Libyan intelligence officer who was the only person ever convicted in the 1988 Lockerbie bombing, died at home in Tripoli Sunday, nearly three years after he was released from a Scottish prison to the outrage of the relatives of the attack's 270 victims. He was 60.
Scotland released al-Megrahi on Aug. 20, 2009, on compassionate grounds to let him return home to die after he was diagnosed with prostate cancer. At the time, doctors predicted he had only three months to live.
Anger over the release was further stoked by the hero's welcome he received on his arrival in Libya � and by subsequent allegations that London had sought his release to preserve business interests in the oil-rich North African nation, strongly denied by the British and Scottish governments.
Al-Megrahi insisted he was innocent, but he kept a strict silence after his release, living in the family villa surrounded by high walls in a posh Tripoli neighborhood, mostly bedridden or taking a few steps with a cane. Libyan authorities sealed him off from public access. When the one-year anniversary of his release passed, some who visited him said al-Megrahi bitterly mused that the world was rooting for him to die.
His son, Khaled al-Megrahi, confirmed that he died in Tripoli in a telephone interview but hung up before giving more details.
Nice of Kennedy Jr. to stick it out for better or worse. Oh, that�s right he didn�t do that.
Daily Mailreports Mary Kennedy, the estranged wife of Robert Kennedy Jr., was found dead this morning at her home in an apparent suicide.
Mrs Kennedy, 52, and Robert Kennedy, the third-eldest of Robert Kennedy's 11 children, were married for 16 years before they filed for divorce in May 2010.
The death is the latest in a succession of tragedies to strike the glittering and powerful Kennedy clan, known as the 'curse of Camelot'.

Mrs Kennedy had previously battled drug and alcohol problems.
'There was an EMT vehicle outside the home about an hour ago,' a source told Radar Online.
Police surrounded the family home on Wednesday - a red brick mansion with a columned porch entrance set in a heavily wooded acreage.
Mrs Kennedy's family released a statement following the news of her death.
'We deeply regret the death of our beloved sister Mary, whose radiant and creative spirit will be sorely missed by those who loved her.
'Our heart goes out to her children who she loved without reservation,' the statement read.

�When my husband left on his deployment, our 6-year-old son could not walk on his own. He has cerebral palsy. Doctors originally said that he would never walk or do much of anything. While daddy was away, he learned to walk. For his homecoming, we set it up for Michael to walk to his daddy for the first time ever! We kept the fact that he could walk a secret the whole time his dad was gone!� Melissa C.

If you look at Time Magazine�s plunging sales numbers in the internet era, is it a shock that they�re going for the shock effect to sell magazines?

The Huffington Postreports the first debate of Mexico's 2012 presidential election took place this past Sunday night, but unfortunately it seems the candidates had to share the spotlight with Julia Orayen, a former Playboy playmate.
In a white, skin tight dress with a plunging neckline, Orayen appeared as the usher for less than 20 seconds at the very beginning of the debate. Nonetheless, many say she stole the show.
"Unbelievably, to be honest. At the beginning I was quite shocked, I thought it was a trap from the (other) candidates," said Gabriel Quadri, the 2012 Presidential candidate from the "Nueva Alianza" political party, in Spanish to ADNpolitico.com

In the footage, captured by a passenger in a car in the inside lane and published on liveleak.com, he appears to walk around the side of the silver people wagon, heading for an open boot, which he is looking towards.

Daily Mailreports vaginal injuries are as common in voluntary sex as they are in rapes, a new study indicates. The research carried out in Denmark casts doubt on the commonly held view that vaginal injuries are evidence that intercourse has been forced. When police officers around the world investigate rape cases, the presence of lesions inside a woman's vagina is taken as an indicator of whether she has been assaulted.

Daily Mailreports a beauty pageant has booted a contestant out the competition after discovering the buxom blonde was born a boy.
The Miss Universe Canada organizers threw out Jenna Talackova when they found out she had undergone surgery to become a woman.
The transgendered contestant had already successfully reached the finals in the Miss Vancouver pageant before she was banned from continuing in the competition.
Although the pageant organizers described Talackova as a �real girl� they disqualified her arguing that the rules state that each contestant must be a �naturally born female.�
According to Denis Davila, the national director of Miss Universe Canada, Talackova claimed on her registration form she was born a female.
But becoming suspicious Davila confronted the 23-year-old about her sex change and the contestant admitted she was actually born a male.
Every time one of these stories comes down the pike, I always say the same. Changing one�s sex is one of the most grieves sins a person can commit. It�s really bad news and an affront to God Almighty.
Daily Mailreports the beauty queen who was born a boy won't be kicked out of the Miss Universe Canada competition after all.
Jenna Talackova, 23, was thrown out of the pageant, founded by Donald Trump, when organisers found out she had undergone surgery to become a woman.
Officials denied charges of discrimination and said the reason why a male-to-female transgender contestant could not compete was because Miss Talackova lied on her application form.
The Huffington Postreports at last week's International Pole Championship in Hong Kong, Australia's Deborah Roach out-maneuvered her competitors to win first place in her division -- with the aid of only one arm.
