Another celebrity father is about to have private voicemail, intended for his daughter, leaked to the media.  We're referring to father of Lindsay Lohan.

In his message, he apologizes to Lindsay for talking to the media about the personal affairs of the actress.

No big deal, right?  But this isn't the first time someone's private message has been shared with the world. Remember when actor Alec Baldwin left a string of obscenities on his daughter's voicemail?


 

Is it right to have what is intended to be a private message shared with the media?

A woman toppled from a waiting room chair and died inside a Brooklyn hospital.  The absurd part of the story is that no one inside the medical center did anything to help her.  

From  5:42 a.m. until 6:35 a.m., the security tapes capture security guards passing by, but no one acted to help the woman.

An hour after she went down, a nurse checked on her. Three minutes later, help arrived, but the woman was already dead.

Then, the hospital says a nurse tried to cover up the lack of care, saying the woman was just fine in the waiting room. Several staffers were fired.


 

Do you think firing the staffers is enough?

Attention animal lovers ... this will pull at your heart strings.

Faced with too many wild horses on the range and in holding facilities, federal officials are considering drastic policy changes that include ending roundups and euthanizing animals.

U.S. Bureau of Land Management Deputy Director Henri Bisson said Monday there is an overpopulation of wild horses on public lands and the agency can no longer afford to care for the numbers of mustangs that have been rounded up. The number of horses adopted by the public has dropped off, leaving the BLM with more animals than it can care for, he said.

Caring for so many animals is crippling the agency's budget, Bisson said.

Last year about $22 million of the entire horse program's $39 million budget was spent on holding horses in agency pens. Next year the costs are projected to grow to $26 million with an overall budget that is being trimmed to $37 million, Bisson said.

Continuing current practices would require a budget of $58 million next year, escalating to $77 million in 2012, BLM estimated.


 Do you think it's right to kill these animals?

Do you remember your 8th birthday?  Maybe you had cupcakes in class or sent out birthday invitations for a party at home? 

An 8 year old Swedish boy handed out birthday party invitations at school ... then had them confiscated.  He was accused of discrimination. 

It turns out that two boys in the classroom didn't get an invitation -- one boy had bullied the kid, and the other had not invited him to his birthday party.

The father of the boy was so upset that he filed a complaint with Parliament.  


What's a parent to do?  Hand out invitations at school, or mail them out to spare feelings?

The Florida Highway Patrol says Orange County Mayor Richard Crotty's son was involved in a car accident that left a child seriously injured.

Richard Tyler Crotty, 17, was behind the wheel at about 4 p.m. Wednesday when his red Hyundai collided with a black van at the intersection of Judge and Daetwyler roads in Belle Isle.

The van's 9-year-old passenger, Abigail Horton, who was riding with her mother, suffered serious injuries in the crash and and was taken to Arnold Palmer Hospital. Her mother, Kristie Horton, 38, of Orlando, was treated for minor injuries at Orlando Regional Medical Center.

This isn't the first time Richard Tyler Crotty has been in the spotlight.  Four years ago, he made national news when the then restless 13 year old was seen yawning and fidgeting behind President Bush when he paid a visit to Central Florida.  The incident even caught the attention of late night talk show host David Letterman as seen in this YouTube clip:

Imagine getting married and then finding out you were already married years earlier but forgot.  It happened to an Australian man. Apparently, the guy married a woman from Hawaii in 2006. When he applied for residency in the United States, immigration discovered that he married a different woman in 1978. 

He claims he doesn't remember anything because he was "partying too hard."

Thousands of people in The Netherlands say that they expect the world to end in the year 2012.  Many are stocking up on supplies for the Apocalypse.

A Dutch-language newspaper says most of the believers they talked to tied the 2012 date to the end of the Mayan calendar, which ends around December 21 of that year.

Weather delays, security concerns and engine trouble are all things you'd expect might cancel a flight. But what if a pilot just isn't in the mood to fly?  It happened.

United Airlines cancelled a flight from Salt Lake City to Denver on Thursday after the pilot told the passengers he was "too upset" to fly.

After an hour-and-a-half delay, the pilot announced that he had been in a verbal fight with another pilot before boarding the plane and was too angry to safely fly the plane.  All passengers were booked on other flights.


WHAT DO YOU THINK? A GOOD REASON TO SCRUB A FLIGHT? OR SHOULD THE PILOT HAVE BEEN FORCED TO GET OVER IT...AND FLY ANYWAY?

Police in Lincoln, Nebraska arrested a jogger for running down the street wearing just a thong, only a thong. He was booked for indecent exposure.

So what do you think? Should someone be taken in for lack of clothing? Why is the thong so wrong?

She's big-busted, petite, very friendly and she runs on batteries.

Sega, best known for its home video game consoles, has introduced a 15-inch tall robotic 'girlfriend' that kisses on command, with a target market of lonely adult men.

The robot, named "EMA," which stands for Eternal Maiden Actualization, is designed to pucker up for nearby human heads, entering "love mode" using a series of infrared sensors powered by battery.

"Strong, tough and battle-ready are some of the words often associated with robots, but we wanted to break that stereotype and provide a robot that's sweet and interactive," said Minako Sakanoue, a spokeswoman for the maker, Sega Toys to Reuters news agency.

"She's very lovable and though she's not a human, she can act like a real girlfriend."

EMA can also hand out business cards, sing and dance.

Sega is hoping to sell 10,000 robotic girlfriends in it's first year and envisions a $10-billion market for artificial intelligence in a decade.

The busty bot will be available in Japan in September for around $175.

Is technology really taking over our live lives? What do you think?

It’s all the "rage" with tweens across the country: "high school musical".

 

But now toddlers are also getting in on the act. In October the third "High School Musical" movie will be released -- this one in theatres. Now, parents of young children are debating whether the popular phenom is really innocent "fun" after all.

 

What do you think?
