Amazing Puppy Recovers from Splayed Leg Syndrome, Learns to Walk and Play

We need some inspirational dog stories right about now. Over the weekend, a woman was found in a feces-filled hotel room with six canines. Days prior to that incident, a St. Louis resident was arrested for burning her sister’s pet in the backyard. But meet Max. AMAZING Max, we should say. The Boston Terrier was taken in by The Mia Foundation at six weeks old after being diagnosed with Swimmer Puppy Syndrome, an affliction that results in a flat chest and sternum.  Typically, dogs with such an ailment are euthanized because they cannot sit, stand or walk… but try telling that to Max! Watch this video to see how far he came in just two weeks of training: Boston Terrier Recovers, Learns to Walk

Oksana Baiul Sues NBC For $5 Million

Oksana Baiul is suing NBC and a skating program producer for $5 million for using her name and likeness to promote two shows that never ended up airing. The 1994 Olympic figure skating gold medalist claims that Disson Skating LLC offered her a deal to perform in two shows that were to air on NBC. Baiul declined, never receiving a contract or signing a promotional deal. Nevertheless, she says her name and likeness were used to advertise the show on two radio websites, and she also was named in a press release. The skater says her reputation was damaged because the incorrect publicity resulted in her being labeled a “no show,” making it harder to get work. That’s where the lawsuit arises. She’s seeking $5 million in damages from NBC Universal and the producer, both of which declined to comment.

Prince William and Kate Middleton: Babymoon Time!

Pregnant Kate Middleton and Prince William have escaped dreary, winter London for a babymoon holiday on the ultra-exclusive Carribean island of Mustique. Expecting their first child together, the Duchess, 31, and Duke, 30, are kicking back in a luxury villa with a $30,000-a-week price tag – with her folks! The babymoon is a family affair , apparently. The couple flew out a few days ago to join Kate Middleton’s parents, Carole and Michael Middleton. With Kate completely recovered from the acute morning sickness that plagued the earliest days of her pregnancy, the twosome are ready to party. Well, within reason. She’s still carrying the royal heir(ess). But with Kate Middleton’s due date in July, and her health improved dramatically in the past few weeks, she’s earned a nice, fun babymoon vacation! Not to mention some much-needed family time. As long as there’s no repeat of topless photos that surfaced from their holiday in France – which we doubt, on the secluded island – all is well!

Matt Farmer Booted from American Idol for BS War Story

So much for Matt Farmer being crowned the American Idol Season 12 champion. Following a successful audition in Long Beach, Farmer has come out and admitted that he’s one giant liar. That whole tale he told? About being injured in an IED explosion in Iraq? And being diagnosed with a traumatic brain injury? And how the medication he was assigned would supposedly make him sterile, until he ended up fathering a daughter named Cadence who joined him in front of the judges? LIE, LIE, LIE. Matt Farmer American Idol Audition “It was ALL lies,” Farmer admitted to GuardianOfValor.com. “I in fact HAVE lied since a younger age and had a problem with it… “I am EXTREAMLY remorseful and VERY upset that I allowed myself to take from the hard work of the guys that i was deployed with among others. To think that I would go on a national TV show and get away with continuing a lie so big, and so deeply imbedded in my lfe [sic] and brain … Is rediculous [sic]. “Hindsight is always 20/20 … To EVERYONE but more importantly the men I served with, I AM DEEPLY REGRETFUL AND SORRY … I at no time was a sniper, was never deployed to Afghanistan, did a single tour in Iraq, and was never at any time hit or wounded by an IED” Farmer, as you might expect, has been booted from the competition. So that’s one fewer person early favorites such as Ja’Bria Barber and Seretha Guinn need to worry about.
