After a fox nabbed Lars Andreas Bjercke’s iPhone 5 and took off into the woods, the Norwegian teenager certainly never thought he’d hear from the creature again. He thought wrong, apparently. Fox Steals iPhone Bjercke had downloaded an app on his iPhone to make it emit rabbit noises, then played it at night to coax a fox into his yard, just to see how that would play out. The animal cautiously investigated the strange, metallic prey on the ground, reacting skittishly at first … then circled back, grabbed the thing and peaced out. When a friend tried calling, the fox answered . Their five-minute “conversation” did not lead to the phone’s return, but a day after the fox made off with the device, Bjercke’s friend contacted him on Facebook. She received a text from him, the friend said, a little confused. It read: “jlv I øia0ab 34348tu åaugjoi zølbmosdji jsøg ijio sjiw.” Attempts to translate that into fox dialect were inconclusive.
Along with Monday’s joyous announcement that Kate Middleton is pregnant came news from the palace that the Duchess is in the hospital with severe morning sickness. Hyperemesis gravidarum is a rare, acute morning sickness resulting in weight loss; it accounts for about 2 percent of all morning sickness, according to doctors. The condition is sometimes associated with women having twins, experts say. Hyperemesis gravidarum is believed to be caused by higher levels of the pregnancy hormone, hCG; Extra hCG can often be brought on by carrying more than one fetus. In other words, it could be a sign that Kate Middleton is pregnant with twins. Although there’s very little data to go on, one study showed that women carrying twins had a 7.5 percent higher risk of experiencing the acute morning sickness. In any case, it poses little danger to the tiny heir(s), doctors said. Women diagnosed with hyperemesis gravidarum often lose 5 percent of their pre-pregnancy weight, or 10 pounds, but it is not indicative of troubling complications. It’s traditionally thought that nausea and vomiting is a sign of a healthy pregnancy, even. That’s not to say it isn’t brutal for the mother-to-be to live through. Dr. Nancy Cossler, an OB/GYN at University Hospitals in Ohio, said the condition does not cause loss of pregnancy or birth defects, but is torture to endure. “The biggest problem with this is how it interferes with your life,” Cossler said. “Constantly feeling sick and puking is obviously unpleasant and difficult.” The extreme morning sickness is usually diagnosed about nine weeks into the pregnancy, and in most cases resolves itself by 16-20 weeks, according to experts. Kate Middleton’s pregnancy is likely around the 12-week mark at this time. “As the pregnancy is in its very early stages, Her Royal Highness is expected to stay in hospital for several days and will require a period of rest thereafter,” St. James Palace said. Prince William is at the hospital with Middleton, according to news reports. If she were carrying twins, the first-born would be the heir to the throne, regardless of gender. One can imagine the twins fighting in the whom over that distinction!
Kate Middleton gave a speech in Malaysia Thursday. No, the pregnancy rumors were not the subject, but her grace and charm were on display as always.

Shortest. Pregnancy. Ever. Okay, maybe not for Adele herself, but for the public. Unlike Jessica Simpson’s very public gestation period, which was marked by Twitpics, nude Elle covers and absurd quotes for months on end, we just found out Adele was with child. So when is she due? Like really soon! Simon Konecki got Adele pregnant 6-7 months before anyone knew! UK reports say she’s due in mid-September, or around two months from now. Neither the 24-year-old nor her boyfriend has commented on the report or the pregnancy at all beyond their initial announcement last month. However, UK celebrity gossip sources claimed this morning that Adele will be hearing the pitter-patter of tiny feet by the middle of September. “Adele has barely left the house in recent months, so she could keep this to herself for as long as possible,” a so-called insider said of the star. How the alleged insider knows what’s going on in Adele’s womb, we have no idea, but congratulations on the pregnancy again in any case! [Photo: WENN.com]
