The star sat down with talk show host Meredith Vieira to talk about their break up last year among other things.

Man Dumps Girlfriend of 11 Years One Day To Wedding Another Woman He Just Met

Posted in: , ,


So maddening, but what can one do really? Twitter User Fola S told this really sad story of how her friend dated a guy for 11 years, but then gets dumped by the guy on the day before his wedding to another woman he recently started dating. And to think that the lady started dating him while they were both still in Uni, and when she got a job before him, she basically took care of his needs till he too was similarly settled.

I'm mad for her sake, but what's that they say? A broken relationship or engagement is better than a broken marriage.

Redeemed Church Heartlessly Mocks Death Of Book Pirate With Open Heavens Advert

Posted in: , , ,

Posted in: , ,

Kate and David Ogg were heartbroken when they were told at the premature delivery of their twins - born 2 minutes apart at just 26 weeks - that one of them had stopped breathing and had just moments to live. Thinking it was the only time they would have with the tiny boy they had already decided to name Jamie, Kate asked to be able to hold the almost lifeless child, and told David to climb into the hospital bed, shirtless - for a tender embrace. What happened next was nothing short of a miracle.

In this mother's loving arms, and basking in the combined warmth of his parent's bodies, the little boy started moving, and his breathing grew stronger. Hospital staff rushed back to his aid and together brought the baby back to life.
