Votes cast in the senior superlative contest at a South Bronx high school were cast in favor of acceptance this month. The title for best couple at the Mott Haven Village Preparatory High School has gone to a set of lesbian teen.
Victoria Cruz and Deoine Scott have been together for two and a half years and both graduated from high school on Friday. Continue reading »
A Brooklyn woman allegedly tricked her husband’s pregnant mistress into taking a drug that’s known to cause miscarriage in pregnant women, hoping to force the woman to lose her baby.
Instead of miscarrying the baby, however, the woman went into early labor. Her baby boy was born at 28 weeks gestation, and doctors say he has a 95 percent chance of survival.
What’s even more amazing than this woman’s cold, cold heart, however, is the level of planning she put into her crime.
While everyone else was sleeping in her Bronx apartment, eight-year-old Destiny Antonio somehow managed to fall out of her seven story window and land — luckily — on a 10-foot patch of grass.
Though it was 1:30 in the morning, someone heard her fall; a neighbor, Luis Guzman was outside talking with friends. “It sounded like you threw something very heavy,” he told the Daily News. “When we looked, it was a little girl right there.”
Until Destiny woke up, no one could figure out how she fell.
I first thought this sounded sweet: rapper 50 Cent is going to give a free concert to the kids in his neighborhood. Then I had to stop and wonder: how do you make a 50 Cent show family friendly?
Will he sing three words and leave?
That’s not what’s got parents’ panties in a bunch, though. They’re afraid “Fitty” will attract violence to their kids’ school, and they kind of have a point. Continue reading »
So much for laid back Southern living: a new poll shows parents in the South are more likely to be spank-happy when it comes to discipline.
According to new poll figures: sixty-two percent of folks below the Mason-Dixon Line admit to popping their kids on the backside. So how does that compare to the rest of the country? Continue reading »
One nice consequence of New Yorkers’ commitment to anonymity is that they’re not likely to get embarrassingly, loudly starry-eyed around celebrities. I was once on a subway car with Uma Thurman and you could have heard a pin drop; only once she got off did the car erupt in exclamations.
Still, giving celebrities privacy on the subway and encouraging your kids to lob water balloons at photographers are two very different things. Continue reading »
I wonder if Steve Jobs is happy with this Wall Street Journal headline: JOBS HAD LIVER TRANSPLANT. It’s not that it isn’t true, at least according to news reports. But it seems like an odd thing to read in the paper. “Hey honey, look! They printed the press release about my gall bladder! Awesome!” Obviously Steve Jobs is a huge part of Apple’s success; news of his possible health problems actually had a negative effect on the company’s stock price. For me the weirdest thing is the way that Apple FANS react. I’m sure some are sympathetic but some seem to be concerned that Stevey J might not be able to come up with more Apple products for them to spend money on. I doubt there is any other company in history that has spawned so many rabid fans of PRODUCT. Anyway, the Apple diehards won’t have Steve Jobs to kick around anymore, at least not full-time.
