Expectant mother Kim Kardashian will spend $1 million on the delivery of her baby, said the National Enquirer. The reality TV star and her rapper boyfriend, Kanye West, have reserved a deluxe birthing suite for the July delivery, which will be blanketed in dozens of white roses, staffed by a celebrity hairdresser and a personal photographer, and feature special organic clothes and sheets for the baby. Kardashian will wear selections from the $25,000 in lingerie she bought on a recent Paris trip, a source said, because she “had no intention of wearing a plain old hospital gown that’s been worn by other women.”

José Laparra, president of a soccer club, had paid $210,000 to Lucía Martín to bewitch a woman for him, but became furious when the spell failed to work. He and four other men showed up at her home, where the waiting police arrested him.
