Surprise-Baby George's mom an ex-prostitute
Nadia Ayyad, 23, made a brief appearance at Newmarket , Ont., court Thursday after being arrested a day earlier and charged in connection with the disappearance and death of her baby son George Doodhnaught.

Why-Top buzzword in 2012: 'Kate'
LOS ANGELES - In 2012, buzzwords will bow to the British royals with “Kate,” the Duchess of Cambridge, forecast as the most-used word in the media, according to a group that surveys the English language. The Texas-based Global Language Monitor Thursday said several factors will keep Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge, in the news after her widely-watched wedding earlier this year to Britain ’s Prince William. People will see “Kate” used extensively if she becomes pregnant, said Paul Payack, president of the group. And even if she doesn’t, the 2012 Olympics in London should heighten her exposure because she will serve as an ambassador to the games.
Born Catherine Middleton to a family of commoners, the duchess of Cambridge has been much discussed in the media this past year due to her marriage to Prince William, who could eventually become King of England.
What-Man wins Lamborghini, crashes it
SALT LAKE CITY — A truck driver who won a $380,000 Lamborghini in a convenience store contest crashed the sports car six hours after he got it, and he now plans to sell the 640-horsepower convertible because he can't afford the insurance or taxes. I already had offers on it. I'm going to sell
it," David Dopp said Wednesday. "I have bills more important than a Lamborghini. I've got a family to support." Dopp, a 34-year-old truck driver for Frito-Lay, spun out of control just a few hours after taking the keys to the Murcielago Roadster that he won in a "Joe Schmo to Lambo" contest sponsored by Maverik convenience stores. The lime green convertible was being held by his insurance company at aUtah towing yard. It will be sent to an authorized Las Vegas dealer for repairs next week. Dopp told The Associated Press the damage "isn't super bad" — a punctured oil pan and wheel and a few dents and scratches on the front and rear ends. The father of six said he couldn't afford to pay taxes on the car or the insurance, which runs $3,500 every six months

With the consent of his parents, Jackie Millson and Tim Smith, he bought the $3 bracelets at a local convenience store on Dec. 14. "I first saw a girl wearing them and I thought they were really cool and they support people with breast cancer," he said. "I never thought any of this would happen." When he wore them to school on Dec. 15, his teacher immediately took them away. His parents went to the school to retrieve the bracelets and told the teacher their son was allowed to wear them - unless it was against London District Catholic School Board policy. The school's principal, Suzanne Terpstra, told them Kelly could be suspended if he continued to wear the bracelets. "We're not having a fight with the school; we have agreed to disagree," his mom said. "It's not a yelling match back and forth. But I still think he should be allowed to wear them, and we support his decision to do that."
