Driving around with a dead friend
Two Colorado men have been accused of spending hours driving around with a dead friend in their car, allegedly using his credit card to buy food, drinks, and lap dances at a strip club. A police spokesman said that Mark Rubinson, 25, and Robert Young, 43, were clearly aware that their friend Jeffrey Jarrett had died of unknown causes when they began their spending spree. “This is a bizarre and unfortunate crime,” said the spokesman. “This isn’t anything you want to have happen to a loved one.”

Beyoncé Knowles has already spent more than $1 million to ensure that her pregnancy is trouble-free, says Britain’s Now. Knowles, 30, and husband Jay Z, 41, have spared no expense, hiring an organic dietician and a masseur, and spending “a fortune on lotions” to prevent stretch marks. “Beyoncé’s waited a long time to have a baby,” says the source, “and she’s determined to take good care of herself.”
Jealous village wives feud with barmaid
Women in one small Italian town are waging a vendetta against a curvaceous, Romanian-born barmaid they believe is corrupting their husbands. Loredana Popesciue, 27, says that in recent months the jealous wives have reported her to immigration officials and the tax department, and called on health and safety inspectors to investigate her for lewd dancing. “I have nothing against these women,” says Popesciue. “But if their husbands wanted to spend time with them, they’d be at home and not in my bar.”
