  • North Korea Proposes High-Level Talks With U.S.

    North Korea has proposed high-level talks with the US aimed at discussing nuclear weapons programmes and easing of tension on the peninsula, state media said.

    "We propose high-level talks between the North and the US to secure peace and stability in the region and ease tension on the Korean peninsula," the North's powerful National Defense Commission said in a statement carried by the Korean Central News Agency.

    The North is willing to have "serious discussions on a wide range of issues, including the US goal to achieve the world free of nuclear arsenal", it said, urging the US to set the time and venue for the talks.

    Jerome Corsi, Tea Party Activist, Claims Gay Rights Will Lead To Bestiality And 'Snuff Films'

    Tea Party activist and conspiracy theorist Jerome Corsi recently made shocking accusations about gay rights.

    As Right Wing Watch notes, Corsi made accusations that gay rights will lead to bestiality, pedophilia and "snuff films" becoming legal.

    The "snuff films" he spoke of is where you "kill a few people, because it's sexually exciting."

    He then went on to explain that if sex becomes disassociated from a biblical purpose, that paganism will return: “Sex is given to human beings by god, as a sacred act for the procreation of children... If sex becomes disassociated from a biblical purpose, than all the abuses we saw in paganism are about to return."

    No stranger to making controversial and outlandish comments, last year Corsi suggested that President Barack Obama might be secretly gay and is familiar with Chicago's bathhouse scene.

    Girl, 5, Collects Hundreds Of Dollars For Peace Selling Lemonade Outside Westboro Baptist Church

    What happens when a little girl decides to set up a lemonade stand for peace outside the Westboro Baptist Church headquarters in Kansas? Members of the community step out in droves to show support, even as the hate group tries to quash it.

    Five-year-old Jayden, the daughter of Jon Sink, founder of the philanthropic arts group FRESHCASSETTE - Creative Compassion, decided to set up a stand selling pink lemonade at The Equality House on Friday afternoon. The Equality House is a rainbow-colored building directly across the street from Westboro's Topeka compound. The house, which was painted the colors of the pride flag in March, was bought by Aaron Jackson, one of the founders of Planting Peace, a multi-pronged nonprofit set up in 2004 and aimed at spreading goodwill and equality around the globe.

    Jayden, who is from Kansas City, decided to set up her stand at the Equality House after her parents explained to her the significance of its construct. After being told that the church across the street had a message of hate, she set a goal of raising money to go towards a message of love and peace.

    So she painted a banner for the event reading, "Pink Lemonade for Peace: $1 Suggested Donation." She put the stand in the grass and waited. But the waiting didn't take long. Supporters came in by the droves and $1 turned into hundreds of dollars.

    During the day, Westboro sent representatives outside to try and find a way to stop the event. They apparently attempted to call the local police and stooped to yelling profanities when that didn't work, like calling a group of soldiers who rode out on their motorcycles to suport the event "bastards."

    Westboro's hate couldn't stop Jayden. She not only raised $400 during the day on Friday, but she has also collected over $1000 with an online campaign set up through Crowd Rise. Some people donated as little as $10 and as much as $230. One person gave $26 for every person killed six months ago in the Newtown, Conn., massacre.

    "As we all know, the Westboro Baptist Church puts a lot of hate into the world," Jackson told HuffPost in an email Friday. "Since we cannot stop them, the next best thing is to smother it with love. That is what 5-year-old Jayden accomplished today! Jayden set up a lemonade stand in front of the church. Not only did she quench the thirst of a lot of loving supporters, the money she raised was donated to Planting Peace so she could help Planting Peace promote a more peaceful world."

    Jamie-Lynn Sigler Rocks White Bikini, Reveals Why Pregnant Body Makes Her More Confident

    Pregnant Jamie-Lynn Sigler now has more confidence parading her body in a bikini than she did before.

    “I would probably not be caught in a bikini otherwise, but when you’re pregnant, it is what it is!” she told People magazine at her baby shower Wednesday, held at Sugar and Plumm on Manhattan’s Upper West Side. “However your body’s carrying is how your body’s carrying.”

    Sigler's bikini body has been getting a lot of attention since she was photographed vacationing last week in Myrtle Beach, S.C. The 32-year-old actress was spotted on the beach with her 23-year-old fiance, Washington National's infielder Cutter Dykstra, relaxing in between his game time. The star, who is seven months pregnant, looked happy and beautiful in a white swimsuit and straw hat.

    "The first few months were not fun," Sigler previously told Us Weekly about her pregnancy. "I got hit pretty hard, but I feel fantastic now. It's the most natural thing your body can do. I have no part in anything that's happening with the baby. I'm just kind of a vessel, so it really is a miracle and it really is an exciting time."

    She is taking a carefree approach to motherhood. "If I feel like eating something I will," she added. "I haven't read a single pregnancy book or anything. I'm just letting it happen."

    The former "Sopranos" star has also expressed sympathy for expectant mom Kim Kardashian. The reality starlet has had to deal with an onslaught of criticism regarding her weight gain since announcing her pregnancy in December. Sigler told E! News she feels bad for Kardashian, who she thinks looks "beautiful" and is "doing her best."

    Steve Irwin's Daughter, Bindi, Victim Of Trending Online Death Hoax

    Steve Irwin's daughter, Bindi, was the latest celebrity victim of an online death hoax. This time, however, it wasn't some made-up, macabre story of a ski accident in Switzerland, but rather a rumor spawned from a jumbled Internet search term.

    E! News referred to the snafu as the "perfect search storm." Social News Daily boiled it down to a "trends hiccup."

    It all started Friday when word that Irwin's daughter had died began to spread on Twitter and became a popular term on various search engines, according to E! News. Hoax sleuths were able to link it all back to a glitch in Internet searches relating to the term "Steve Irwin daughter."

    Bindi has been making headlines for her new movie "Return to Nim’s Island," which premiered in March and was released on DVD May 21. As people searched for information on Irwin's daughter, search engines matched up the query with stories written about her following the September 2006 death of her father. The keywords combined, Social News Daily notes, to create one creepy trending term: "Steve Irwin's daughter dies."

    The 14-year-old is, of course, alive and well.

    On Thursday, Bindi tweeted a video of a trip to Hong Kong she took with her father. She also posted a photo to Instagram taken at a beach with the words "Unconditional Love" written in the sand.

    The precocious teen has been busy working on projects with the Discovery Channel and dedicating herself to environmentalism. In April, she visited Singapore to talk about her commitment to wildlife.

    “I’m a great believer in conservation, kid-empowerment and all things to do with wildlife," Bidni told Yahoo! Singapore. "So these programs are something that I’m really passionate and excited about. It’s very special – and what a unique position to be in, to be able to share your passion with such a wide audience. How nice is that?"

    St. Louis Shooting 4 Dead After Shots Fired Inside Business

    Four people are dead and several others are in custody after a shooting at a St. Louis business, officials said.

    Police say two men and two women were shot dead at about 1:40 p.m. at the Cherokee Place Business Incubator, according to KTVI. There is no active search for shooting suspects; The St. Louis police tweeted that the shooting was a murder-suicide and that "the shooter and three victims are deceased."

    The 4,000-square-foot building houses 10 small businesses. The Post-Dispatch reports that the shooter opened fire after having a brief argument with people inside one of the businesses.

    The building was evacuated and police interviewed witnesses on the scene, according to the paper. One witness, Kevin Johnson, told the paper that he was having lunch across the street when he saw a barefoot woman run out of the business screaming. She met with arriving officers and pointed to the business.

    Several people seen taken out in handcuffs on the scene were reportedly not suspects. They were simply inside during the shooting.

    Michael Graff, who has a law office inside the building, said the business where the incident took place is owned and staffed by Somalian immigrants, according to the Post-Dispatch. He said he's recently heard heated arguments coming from the business.

    Giuliana Rancic Strips Down For A Dare

    What does accepting a dare from Joan Rivers mean? Well, for E! News anchor Giuliana Rancic, it means baring all while you broadcast.

    The 38-year-old wore nothing but her birthday suit after accepting a challenge from the recent birthday girl herself, Joan. The legendary comedian, who turned 80 this week, dared her "Fashion Police" co-host to take off her clothes during the show and Rancic definitely did not come up short. Wearing nothing but three black censor bars, she appeared on the final news segment naked creating a stark contrast to her suit-clad colleague Jason Kennedy.

    Fans were awarded a sneak peek of the bold TV host, who shared a shot of the action on her Instagram before the bit aired. "Tune into @enews now to see why I end up anchoring news naked tonight w @unclejjay #nudenews," she captioned with the photo.

    Rupert Murdoch Files for Divorce from Wendi Deng Photo

    Media mogul Rupert Murdoch, worth $12.3 billion, has filed a divorce action in Manhattan against his wife of thirteen years, Wendi Deng.

    Legal documents indicate their union has been “irretrievably broken” for more many months.  They were last photographed together at the Vanity Fair Oscar Party in Hollywood at the end of February.

    The divorce action comes two weeks before News Corp. plans to break up the media empire into two separate companies – an entertainment unit called 21st Century Fox and a publishing entity that will retain the News Corp. name.

    Deng was born in China and met Murdoch at a Hong Kong cocktail party in 1997.   The 30-year-old graduate of Yale School of Management was working as a junior executive for STAR TV in Asia.  She left her position after they wed aboard his private yacht in 1999.

    Wendi Deng Murdoch, 44, has amassed an unspecified number of non-voting shares in the company over the course of her marriage and their girls are beneficiaries of 8.7 million non-voting shares that are currently held in trust.

    Murdoch’s wife gained international attention in July 2011 when she deflected a cream pie that a protester hurdled at her husband when he was being questioned by members of British parliament regarding his knowledge of a phone hacking scandal.

    Upon Murdoch’s death, his four eldest children, who have voting shares, will have a controlling interest in News Corp.

    Nancy Jo Sales On 'The Bling Ring' And How Kids Have Changed

    Nancy Jo Sales is having a moment. The Vanity Fair contributing editor's terse 2010 article about the largest robbery ring in Hollywood history, “The Suspect Wore Louboutins” hits the big screen today, as the source material for Sofia Coppola’s “The Bling Ring.” And Sales just released her first book, a companion release to the film (also titled “The Bling Ring") that happens to be perfect summer reading: a play-by-play on the motivations and methods of a group of fame-obsessed L.A. kids who systematically stole some $30 million in gems, clothes, and other valuables from the homes of unsuspecting celebrities. That too, during the global recession. In researching this latest project, Sales, who has long covered what she calls the "kids beat," considered the shifting American fixation with wealth, fame and celebrity. The Huffington Post sat down to chat with the writer for her take on what ails us.

    The Huffington Post: The story of the real bling ring is a pretty juicy one, and perfect for a magazine piece. How did you land on it?

    Nancy Jo Sales: I saw an AP wire online -- it was just a four or five paragraph story, but as soon as I saw it, I said, ‘I have to do it.’ It suggested itself immediately as such an iconic thing, to most of the media. I was out in California in two or three days, and I felt like I was fighting for the story. Every time the kids had a court date, there was a [huge] press corp, as if they were covering a war.

    HP: In the book, you talk about how the kids’ sense of self-importance seemed to infect everybody involved.

    NJS: Everyone. The cops and lawyers started acting like celebrities. They were getting barraged with press requests. People say, ‘Why are kids so obsessed with fame?’ Everybody's obsessed with fame.

    HP: Did you ever feel yourself getting caught up in the mania?

    NJS: I'm very uncomfortable in those settings unless I'm there as a reporter. My job is to observe things. I think if I've been successful at all, it’s because I’ve been able to maintain a distance from celebrity culture.

    Having said that, I did go on Twitter for the first time about 6 months after I wrote this book. And I'm doing this interview with you. I want people to read my book! But I want to do it without any kind of celebrification of self.

    HP: Do you think social media makes that hard?

    NJS: Social media exists, there's no taking it away. But it’s just a broadcasting tool. It doesn't have to be used for constant self-promotion. I think the way kids use it will change if the messages that are promoted by our culture change.
