STAMFORD - A janitor at the Stamford train station was charged Thursday with secretly videotaping at least 16 women in a bathroom stall with a cell phone taped to a roll of toilet paper. Felicitos Gonzalez, 41, of 1 Division St., Apartment R, Stamford, was arrested by Metropolitan Transportation Authority police at his home a block away from the train station Wednesday. Gonzalez was arraigned on 16 counts of voyeurism at state Superior Court in Stamford Thursday. Judge Barbara Brazzel-Massaro ruled that Gonzalez, a Mexican native working in the country illegally, will be jailed in lieu of $50,000 bond for...

TUXTLA GUTIERREZ, Mexico - A donkey is doing time in southern Mexico for assault and battery. The animal was locked up at a local jail that normally holds people for public drunkenness and other disturbances after it bit and kicked two men near a ranch in Chiapas state, police said Monday. Officer Sinar Gomez said the donkey will remain behind bars until its owner agrees to pay the men's medical bills. "Around here, if someone commits a crime they are jailed," Gomez said — "no matter who they are." The owner, Mauro Gutierrez, told The Associated Press he would try...

Led Zeppelin have given a clear hint that they are thinking about staging a full-scale tour after their reunion gig next month. Speaking to Guitar World magazine in the States, guitarist Jimmy Page suggested the one-off show may lead to something bigger. "It's a bit silly not to because there is such massive demand," he said. Until now, the band had said they were only planning to do the one show at the O2 Dome, in honour of Atlantic Records founder Ahmet Ertegun. But following what Page described as the "overwhelming" reaction to the show, clearly they are re-thinking things....

Boy George has been charged with false imprisonment after allegedly chaining a male escort to a wall. Scotland Yard said the 47-year-old singer and DJ has been charged over an incident at his flat in Shoreditch, east London. George - real name George O'Dowd - was released on bail and ordered to attend Thames magistrates' court next week. Scotland Yard said: "George O'Dowd, 47, a musician of Ravey Street, EC2, is charged with the false imprisonment of a 28-year-old in Ravey Street on April 28. "He has been bailed to return before Thames magistrates' court on November 22." Last year...

U2 has two big projects for the coming year — a new album and a Broadway musical of "Spider-Man" directed by "The Lion King" guru Julie Taymor. At last week’s Broadway premiere of "Young Frankenstein," sharp-eyed observers noticed U2’s own guru, manager Paul McGuiness, scoping out the Hilton Theater on 42nd Street with an eye toward putting "Spider-Man" in there. The show requires a very high ceiling stage for all the flying that will go on. Alas, McGuiness is said to have commented, "I guess we’re out of luck" when he saw how successful "Young Frankenstein" is going to be.

Funerals are emotional enough without red-tinged liquid pooling underneath the casket. That’s what the survivors of an 84-year-old Portland woman said they witnessed, and they claimed the image forever tainted what should have been a celebration of a wonderful life. Jean McCurdy described her mother’s last days as peaceful, with her slipping away as the last of her five daughters rushed to her bedside. "My sister from Florida had only been there about a half-hour, and she went into a coma," she told News 8. Days later, at Portland’s Cathedral of the Immaculate Conception, the gathering to celebrate Helen Glazier’s...

Duke Named in Civil Lawsuit Stemming From Lacrosse Case Posted: 20 minutes ago Durham — A former Duke University lacrosse player sued the university Thursday alleging that one of his professors unfairly gave him a failing grade because he was a member of the team. Kyle Dowd graduated in May 2006, two months after a woman said she was raped at a lacrosse team party. The allegations set off a tumultuous few weeks in Durham, with almost daily protests by people who criticized lacrosse team members for a pattern of rowdy behavior. Dowd's lawsuit alleges that visiting professor Kim Curtis...

With more than 60 years of a certain... shall we say, style behind them, Archie, Betty, Veronica, and the whole Riverdale gang will be getting a new look in 2007, courtesy of artist Steven Butler. Rather than moving to a manga style, which has worked on Sabrina by Tania del Rio, this change will move the art towards a more contemporary comic book style, more realistic, and less cartoony. The move, an Archie Comics representative told Newsarama, is a continuing experiment and exploration with the characters, showcasing not only their timlessness, but theur adaptability as well. The first of the...

LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - Actress Lindsay Lohan's publicist fired back at the media on Thursday, saying journalists had crossed a line by mocking a heartfelt letter the screen star wrote following director Robert Altman's death last week. Spokeswoman Leslie Sloane said the note -- which one columnist suggested was composed by Lohan on "one of her legendary party benders" -- was instead dashed off by the distraught 20-year-old actress on a Blackberry, moments after she learned Altman had died. Altman, who died on November 20 at age 81, directed Lohan in the last film of his career, "A Prairie Home...

(PADUCAH, Ky.) -- A teacher in western Kentucky has been suspended and will not have her contract renewed after administrators found out she appeared in an adult movie more than a decade ago. Tericka Dye, a science teacher and volleyball coach at Reidland High School in Paducah for the last two years, was suspended Wednesday and told she would not return to the classroom in the fall. "Your presence in the classroom would cause a disruption to the educational process," McCracken County Schools Superintendent Tim Heller wrote in a letter to Dye. "I fear there would be less than a...

Troubled former Creed singer Scott Stapp may lose the last of his Christian disciples now that a sex tape has emerged in which he co-stars with Kid Rock. Rock, 35, and Stapp, 32, do not have sex with each other on the tape, but they do trade jokes and share camera time as they get down with some strippers. In one scene, Rock and Stapp are standing side by side as a pair of buxom babes pleasures them. "This is my third," Stapp tells the cameraman. "It's good to be the king." The 20-minute tape is said to have been...

The minutemen haven't broken any laws, haven't been arrested, haven't cruelly twisted the law to suit private agendas. So by definition they're not what Bush called them: "vigilantes." Probably most of them voted for Bush.I do wish he would show as much energy denouncing ACLU, Kennedy, the kill-Terri Schiavo crowd in Florida, as he showed in denouncing the minutemen. It's easy to denounce a group of patriots who the New York Times hates. It's hard to denounce liberal heroes of the politicallly correct crowd. I wish, for example, that he would take back the way he distanced himself from Tom...

OK, ladies and gents, I just figured my last year's screed on this was such a huge hit (37 whole responses! Woo-hoo!) that I just had to come back for an encore. But this time we have a new twist: Instead of that blue writing at the top of the page where all the threads are listed, I'm getting the notice right when I log on - you know, the one with that says "Welcome back, [whoever you are]!" and underneath it is the rectangle in the middle of the page informing you that someone has posted something new to...
