  • New Jersey boy dies after sand tunnel collapses at the beach

    Police say a boy who was rushed to the hospital Tuesday after a sand tunnel collapsed over him at a beach in Long Branch, N.J., has died.


    The 12-year-old, who has not been identified, was not breathing when he was pulled out of the sand late Tuesday afternoon, officials said. Lifeguards administered CPR on him, and he was taken to Monmouth Medical Center where he was placed in pediatric intensive care unit.


    Witnesses at the beach said blood was coming out of the boy's nose when lifeguards were working on him.

    Someone screamed for help from lifeguards, who were just 15 feet away, said Roebuck. The boy was pulled out, and lifeguards performed CPR on him as they waited for paramedics.

    A beachgoer from Staten Island, N.Y., said the boy wasn't moving.

    "They were pumping him, pressing on his stomach, trying to bring him back," she said. "They kept trying to revive him, pressing, pressing. There was blood coming out of his nose... He didn't move."

    Sources said the tunnel was deep, and the weight of all the sand on the boy's chest made it impossible for him to breathe.

    The boy was rushed to Monmouth Medical Center, where he was taken to the pediatric intensive care unit.

    The boy is from Oakhurst, sources said, but his name is being withheld.

    Authorities said a fire truck responding to the scene hit a man holding his infant son. The truck hit the pair as it pulled into Ocean Place near the beach, knocking them both to the ground.

    Both were taken to the Jersey Shore Medical Center. The father suffered some broken limbs. The baby was injured but not severely.

    Camouflaged Residence Discovered in California Park

    An elaborate and illegal camouflaged residence, outfitted with bunk beds and a barbecue patio, has been discovered near a Los Angeles County animal refuge.

    Eight months ago, Robert Downs, 51, set up a small structure in the woods near the Tujunga Ponds Wildlife Sanctuary in Sunland, Calif. To hide his home from police, Downs, who was previously homeless, sprayed it with camouflage paint and cut down nearby trees, said Johnie Jones, a deputy in the Parks Bureau of the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department.

    The structure, which Downs built with materials he bought at Home Depot, contained four bunk beds built into the walls, tables, shelves and fire extinguishers. Outside were a rock patio, a barbecue grill and more tables. An American flag was draped over Downs' bed.

    Downs stood a chance of evading major legal trouble for his hidden house, but sheriff's deputies also discovered that he cultivated eight marijuana plants outside the structure, a felony because he did not have a permit to do so, Jones said.

    When Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department deputies found Downs's residence while on patrol Monday, he told them he had been living in the 13.5-acre wildlife sanctuary for more than a year, Jones said.

    "He seems like he had some skills," Jones said. "I've seen homeless sweeps before where people have brought tents or mattresses, but nothing this elaborate."

    Downs was arrested on charges of marijuana cultivation and building a house on county property, Jones said. He is being held on a $30,000 bond, Jones said.

    Downs was found with two others who were cited with infractions and then released, Jones said.

    The Los Angeles County Department of Public Works will remove the structure from the park over the next two weeks.

    'Pretty Little Liars' Recap: Is Ezra Or Holden 'A'?


    Spencer and Hanna are on a mission to swap out Garrett's "April Rose has the proof" note under his mom's hospital bracelet with one they've written, thanks to Hanna's expert forging skills. Their note asks A to meet them by the organ at the deserted church that night and Hanna wants to be the messenger since she's still heartbroken that "this A" broke her and Caleb up.

    But when Hanna enters Mrs. Reynolds room and lifts her hand to insert the note, she flatlines and Hanna jets out of there faster than Mrs. Reynolds will ever move again.

    They text Aria, who is apparently living at Ezra's and doing an incredibly cheesy photoshoot to motivate her about her new assistant gig. He's also wearing pajama pants. Just so you know. Despite the literally "so happy" lyrics playing in the background as they snap away, I'm still not okay with this student-teacher relationship, former status aloud.

    Over in another uncomfortable relationship, Spencer and Toby are at the Parentless Hastings House, where Spencer's googling "April Rose, PA." They start making out, I start to gag, and then, Papa Hastings arrives! (After months.) He's been out going for a run. Apparently, he's Forrest Gump because holy s--- that was a long run. "They make it seem like he's always been there," my mom laments, before asking, "When Spencer was googling April Rose--did it say ob/gyn?" The plot thickens.

    Anyway, Toby leaves and Papa Hastings reveals the upsetting information that key evidence from the prosecution in Garrett's case may be dropped, which means Garrett would be free. Upon hearing the news, Spencer quickly leaves in a huff as her dad asks where she's going. "Um Peter, tell me you possibly care when you the most absentee Dad there ever was," my mom scolds. Z snap.

    Over at The Brew, Hanna brings a hard-working Emily the pick-up location of the clothing donations that included the jacket she was wearing the night it (and she) went missing. Em wants to go check it out today, but Hanna says they have to focus on Operation A tonight, so they'll go tomorrow.

    Meanwhile, Spencer has relocated to a bench and traded her laptop for an iPad, on which she is still googling April Rose. Jason appears and he's just the person Spencer wants to talk to. My mom also notes, "He's bow legged ... or maybe he was just riding a horse through the streets of Rosewood." He confirms the news Papa Hastings shared and she says he's their last hope at saving the case.

    She asks if Jason knows April Rose and before we hear his answer, we see Papa Hastings looking -- no, glaring -- at them. Turns out, Jason doesn't remember April Rose, but could have met her with all the girls the NAT Club had hanging around and not even known it. Spencer does her best Chris Hansen and questions Jason about the videos they made. He reveals he thought Ian and Garrett were paying girls to set up their friends, and April Rose could have been one of those employees.

    At the church, Hanna is sorting clothing items by season and Ted is talking about wanting to look like Cat Stevens and wanting to hang out with Hanna's mom. ("I liked Cat Stevens too," my mom says. Note the past tense.) For all Hanna's hard work, Ted also invites her to a thank you party, which will be held at the church ... tonight. Looks like there's a glitch with Operation A.

    Sofia Vergara, 'Modern Family' Star, Is TV's Highest Paid Actress

    Sofia Vergara might have just celebrated her 40th birthday with a surprise engagement, but hopefully the "Modern Family" star has some more spare time in her schedule to celebrate being named the highest-paid actress on television.

    Forbes estimates that Vergara raked in approximately $19 million between May 2011 and May 2012. At the same time, Latin WE, the media company she co-founded in 1996, pulled in a total of $27 million.

    Vergara's face is seemingly everywhere these days: She endorses major brands like CoverGirl and Diet Pepsi and she even has her own clothing line at Kmart.

    "Her appeal with Hispanics is unrivaled; she has a positive Q Score more than twice that of the average celebrity," Forbes' Meghan Casserly wrote. "And with the ABC smash hit 'Modern Family,' Vergara’s won over American audiences without alienating her Latina roots. For advertisers, the combination is electric."

    And Vergara knows her sex appeal has only helped with her success.

    “Part of my career has always been because of the way I look,” the Colombian actress told InStyle. “I’m not ashamed. It has opened doors. But I also know that if I didn’t have something else, I’d be long gone.”

    Her $19 million in earnings placed Vergara in the top spot, ahead of E! reality star, Kim Kardashian, who earned approximately $18 million between May 2011 and May 2012.
    according to TMZ.

    Big Ang Recap: Detox and Tennis–Two Things Ang Should Never Attempt

    Ang’s husband Neil is getting a third chance, as Ang allows him to move back into her house.  He hopes his wife will welcome him home with a delicious dinner.  Ang is too busy being stressed by the amount of boxes he’s unloading.  She and her ginormous breasts tell Neil that third time has to be the charm or he’s done for good.

    At her sister’s request, Ang goes to the cardiologist.  She says a lot of stuff that I think warrants subtitles.  I may have picked up on the fact that she has to monitor her stool at home, and Ang is appalled about having to place her poop (my word, not hers…duh) in the mail.  I hope I’m wrong.  She chats with her doctor and reveals that she’s there because someone mentioned that she looked like a heart attack waiting to happen.  Her doctor explains that her check-up was fine, but she really needs to quit smoking.  Judging on her voice alone, he can tell that she’s a longtime smoker.  Ang gets a huge kick out of this revelation and rewards him with a raspy laugh.  He warns her that a heart attack or cancer will be the least of her concerns if she doesn’t quit.  I think he may want her to lay off the tanning as well until I remember it’s of the spray variety.

    Ang’s sister Janine comes to her house and is mortified with all the junk that Neil is trying to move into her house.  Janine is overwhelmed by Ang’s fur collection.  I am too.&
    ; Ang tells Janine that she is thinking about purchasing a new house so she and Neil can actually fit in their space.  She’s found the perfect house, so she and Janine make plans to check out the potential new digs.

    After her doctor’s appointment, Ang has implemented a self-imposed detox.  No smoking, no drinking, and she will work out every day.  She enlists her bartender Anthony to help her get in shape.  I think she’d do better off with the cast of Jersey Shore.  At least she’d get some laundry done.  She can’t GT, much less GTL.  Janine and Ang tour the home Ang hopes to buy.  It is so much bigger and nicer than the duplex she currently occupies.  The realtor is frightened when Ang jokes about putting a stripper pole in the living room.  She is over the moon to find the indoor jacuzzi.

    Lil Jen and Ang go shopping in search of workout clothes that will make her more apt to exercise.  Lil Jen is all about yoga, but Ang thinks it’s a “crazy cult.”  I love yoga, but I may love Big Ang more.  Ang decides that she and her tatas look best in tennis attire, so that is the sport she intends to try.  I guess that’s not the worst reason to take up tennis.  That night at the Drunken Monkey, Ang is bartending her face off…if one can actually do that.  Her friend Linda arrives and wants to know how Ang is faring not drinking or smoking.  Ang is having a very difficult time refraining.  Linda isn’t very supportive of Ang’s detox, and she tries to derail her at every turn.  Ang stays strong, and now she’s two days being smoke and booze free.

    Big Ang and Lil Jen are trying their hand at tennis.  Ang doesn’t want to look like a fool in front of her instructor Sergio, but she feels more comfortable when he compliments her on her attire.  I think it’s safe to say that Ang won’t be the next Venus Williams.  Jen is in shock at how graceful Ang looks on the court.  Are we watching the same person?  After the lesson, Jen jokingly suggests a menage a trois, and poor Sergio looks like he may drop dead on the spot.  Ang does what everyone does after a day on the courts…she goes in for a colonic treatment.  I really don’t need to see the size or lubrication on the speculum being inserted into Ang’s bum.  Once it becomes clear that the attendant won’t even be getting the child-sized instrument into Ang’s “exit only hole,” she calls it a day.  She wants a drink and a smoke stat.

    Coachella Cruise: Is Goldenvoice Expanding Brand With A Sea Voyage?

    Because two weekends with identical line-ups performing at each aren't enough, Coachella is rumored to be adding a cruise to its offerings.

    UPDATED: It's official! The S.S. Coachella will make two voyages this December. From the 16-19, the ship will set sail for the Bahamas, followed by a jaunt to Jamaica from the 19-23. The line-up will include Pulp, Hot Chip, Yeasayer, Girl Talk, James Murphy (who will be DJ'ing), Sleigh Bells, Simian Mobile Disco and more. The cheapest rooms are for double-occupancy cabins which start at $750, though a $200 per-person fee will be added at checkout.

    The poster is available below, followed by our original reporting on the subject.


    The rumors, which were reported in The Los Angeles Times, claim that Goldenvoice (the company which produces the festival in Indio, California) plans to set sail from Fort Lauderdale, Florida. Trips could begin as soon as December of this year.

    Goldenvoice tweeted a photo yesterday which teased a 6 p.m. (PST) Tuesday announcement. Though sources cannot confirm the production company is unveiling cruise plans today, but Coachella would not be the first brand to expand onto the seas.

    Holy Ship! debuted in January of last year. The dance music cruise features internationally known DJs and producers, and a second voyage has been set for January 4-7, 2013. As the Times notes, bands like Weezer, KISS and Kid Rock have also hosted cruises for their fans.

    In any case, stranger things have happened. After all, Coachella provided the setting for Tupac's resurrection.*

    Rumors that Coachella plans to leave its long-time home at the Indio Polo Field erupted after city council members hinted at a new ticket tax. Goldenvoice President Paul Tollett was quoted in The Desert Sun as saying, "If the tax initiative of putting $4 million to $6 million onto Coachella gets on the ballot we’re going to take off 2014; 2015 we’ll be at a new facility outside of Indio."

    Adriana Lima will feature in the Pirelli 2013 calendar, pregnant and nude!

    Adriana Lima is a veteran of the Pirelli Calendar, the annual calendar shoot featuring the world's top models in various states of undress. But the 2013 edition will be different for Lima: the Brazilian model is posing naked, while pregnant. ANDRIANA LIME PREGNANT WITH HER SECOND ADRIANA'S PREGNANCY CRAVINGS The calendar is famous for its limited availability, as it is only given as a corporate gift to a restricted number of important Pirelli customers and celebrity VIPs. The Pirelli Calendar is perhaps the world's only prestigious and exclusive "girly" calendar, featuring pictures generally considered glamour photography including artistic nudes. Photocredit: Alessandro Scotti Vanity Fair Italia has published a series of behind-the-scenes photos from the 2013 Pirelli Calendar shoot set. Lima's growing baby bump is a feature for the month she's posing for. The Brazilian model, already mother to two-year-old Valentina, announced her pregnancy in March. Unlike her model peers, such as Alessandra Ambrosio and Sasha Pivovarova, Lima didn't take her top off for a nude pose during her last pregnancy.
    ADRIANA LIMA'S PREGNANCY STYLE Adriana will be the first woman to pose for the Pirelli calendar, while pregnant. However, she won't be the first pregnant mother to pose nude, several stars, including Demi Moore, Britney Spears and Jessica Simpson have graced magazine covers exposing their nude bellies. PREGNANT CELEBRITIES POSING NUDE In recent years, the Pirelli calendar has upped the A-list ante: last year's calendar, shot by Karl Lagerfeld, featured Julianne Moore with its Greek goddess motif. And 2010's Pirelli, shot by Terry Richardson, showed off the likes of Rosie Huntington-Whiteley, Miranda Kerr and Lily Cole.
