Frozen Baby Mom

Frozen Baby Mom , A northern Illinois woman who admitted leaving a newborn daughter to freeze to death along a rural roadway in 2004 was sentenced Friday to 50 years in prison. Katie Stockton, 32, faced up to 60 years in prison for the death of the infant, who became known as Baby Crystal around the Rock River Valley after her frozen remains were found. Winnebago County prosecutors dropped 11 remaining murder charges in exchange for her guilty plea in February to a single count of first-degree murder. Before handing down the sentence, Winnebago County Judge John Truitt allowed testimony about skeletal remains of two other infants found years later in the trunk of Stockton's car, the Rockford Register Star reported (http://bit.ly/YYueU2). Stockton hid her pregnancy and gave birth to the baby in secret on Dec. 17, 2004.

Pictured catching a flight out of LAX on Thursday, the pair flashed their pearly whites as they co-ordinated their macho attire.

The most over-hyped show on God's earth:

On the basis, presumably, that if you can’t beat them, join them, elders from the Mormon church have paid for three full-page ads in the programme for the new hit West End show The Book Of Mormon. Which is somewhat surprising, considering that from start to finish the bad-taste musical mercilessly lampoons the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, whose devotees famously include Donny Osmond. Clearly, they have taken the ‘any publicity is good publicity’ route and hitched their wagon to this unstoppable juggernaut.   The Book of Mormon has been lauded by most critics. Pictured in white shirts is Gavin Creel (centre) and Jared Gertner (back right) The crude show has broken box office records in the West End Tickets for the foul-mouthed show, which makes fun of raping babies and female genital mutilation, are like gold dust. Already, it has broken West End box office records, taking more than £2 million in advance bookings in a single day, following its offic

Handcuffed guests, runaway pets — now that’s work experience!

Hilary Devey, from Dragon's Den, will present The Intern on Channel 4 Claridge's, the fly-on-the-luxury-suite-wall documentary filmed at the exclusive London hotel, had the nation enthralled last Christmas — and revealed two basic personality types among the viewing public. Half of us wanted to stay there as pampered guests, the other half wanted to work there. The thought of being part of that faithful family of employees, dedicated to perfect service with a theatrical flourish, was seductive. On The Intern, three unemployed youngsters were offered a similar dream: spending a week as trainee managers at the five-star Milestone hotel in Kensington, West London. At the end of the show, one of them would be given a job — a well-worn format based on The Apprentice. But there was a twist: the trainees were subjected to elaborate pranks. Presenter Hilary Devey, the one from Dragons’ Den with the streaming black hair and aggressive shoulder pads of a glam rocker,
