Cassie Murdoch — Sun, 15 Jan 2012 23:30:00 EST

Here we all were thinking the cocaine-smeared baby changing tables of the world were bad, but it turns out it can get a lot worse. Thanks to one missing letter, this innocent public changing table has been transformed into a terrifying baby-hanging apparatus.

Beyoncé Said To Be Delivering Her Baby Girl Any Second Now

Luke Malone — Wed, 28 Dec 2011 09:00:00 EST

It's Pregnancé no more because reports are coming thick and fast that Beyoncé is having her baby – with talk that she's probably crowning this very moment! With nurses and security at New York's St. Luke's Roosevelt Hospital being advised to prepare themselves for a high-profile client checking in to give birth late yesterday, word on the maternity ward is that it's none other than Mama B. Though this hasn't been confirmed, two gossipy nurses have said that the VIP has booked out half of the Labor and Delivery Suite at the hospital – the same one where friend Alicia Keys gave birth last year. It's just as well that Beyoncé and Jay-Z are insanely wealthy because otherwise their baby girl would have been forever cursed to receive the lame twofer "Merry Christmas and Happy Birthday!" gifts that disappoint many late December children. Congrats, y'all! [Media Takeout] More »

It's not Silvio Berlusconi's, though. The former Italian PM still claims he never had sex with Karima el Mahroug, aka "Ruby Heartstealer," though his trial for soliciting an underage prostitute continues. El Mahroug, now 19, has just given birth to a healthy baby. The father, 42-year-old Italian club owner Luca Risso, says his "happiness is impossible to describe." We hope he's a good dad, because el Mahroug seems to have had a pretty rough life already. More »

Giant Newborn Baby Will Make Your Ladyflower Wince

Dodai Stewart — Mon, 11 Jul 2011 11:45:00 EDT

It's not surprising that Janet Johnson and Michael Brown were seemingly exhausted and stunned, uttering one-word answers when they were interviewed by Ann Curry this morning on Today: Their new son, JaMichael Brown, came out of the womb weighing more than 16 pounds. He may be the largest baby ever born in Texas. JaMichael is two feet long, has a full head of hair, and a 17-inch chest. Also, and my netherregions winced when I read this, JaMichael's head is 15 inches in circumference. (He was delivered via C-section. But still.) More »

Man Arrested For Carrying Suitcase Full Of Baby Animals

Anna North — Fri, 13 May 2011 15:20:00 EDT

A man from the United Arab Emirates was stopped in the Bangkok airport after security officials opened his luggage and found the following: two monkeys, two panthers, two leopards, and a bear. The animals, all babies, yawned when the luggage was opened, which sounds cute but also sad, because they'd been heavily sedated. Animal trafficking is apparently common in Thailand, but smuggling mammals on this scale is rare. More »
