Former Indiana University Todd Leary Arrested in Realty Scam

11 Year Old Girl Gives Birth Baby Boy in Northeast Hospital

An 11 year old girl in the Northeast recently gave birth to a baby boy, according to the girl’s family.

“My daughter and baby are fine, and the baby is absolutely beautiful,” stated the girl’s mother.

The girl, 11 year old and her family are not being named in order to protect the girl’s privacy.

A recent report by the Guttmacher Institute said U.S. teen pregnancies were up 3 percent in 2006.

But of course, this case is not about a teenager, Dr. Abdulla Al-Khan, a leading high-risk obstetrician noted; it’s about a pre-teen, or child, who’s body is not built to carry a child yet.

SNL Alum Jan Hooks Shines Bright on 30 Rock

Jan Hooks a member of one of the best casts of Saturday Night Live, has made a return to TV. In this week’s episode of 30 Rock Jan Hooks plays Verna the mother of Jenna. Verna seems only interested in her daughter for the money. In tonight’s episode she comes back to make amends, or has she?

Well the episode doesn’t stand up to some of the best of 30 Rock it does shine brightly in a season that has mostly been falling flat. The humor for me never seems to be lacking but the character development has been drying up and feels formulaic. The new cast member is being underused and has yet to develop much of a personality. I think it’s time that the characters get put through their paces again and we start to see some twists. Perhaps when sweeps comes? (more…)
