Worst dad ever runs off with girlfriend’s mom day after birth of his son A 24-year-old pregnant mom claims she was shocked to find out that her boyfriend and baby daddy was having an affair with her own mother. Jess Aldridge told the Sun that her boyfriend Ryan Shelton ran off with her mom Georgina after she brought her newborn son home from the hospital. “It’s the ultimate betrayal. You expect a new grandmother to fall in love with the baby — not the father,” Aldridge told the outlet. The Gloucestershire, England-based family were living together so Georgina could help take care of her grandchildren. Aldridge and Shelton have two children together, a daughter, also named Georgina, 1, and newborn son Reuben. “We were stuck together for months in the house during lockdown,” Aldridge recalled. “It was so hard, especially as Ryan and mum were always being so flirty. I felt so uncomfortable, it was a horrible experience.” Even though Georgina’s husband, Eric, was also in the house, Shelton, 29, and Georgina, 44, would spend nights in the kitchen together drinking Bacardi. Aldridge claims she once caught Shelton touching her mom’s butt, but tried to brush it off. “It was disgusting. She would wear these short dresses and be all touchy-feely with him on the sofa,” she said. Aldridge claims she even confronted the pair — although they denied anything was going on. That changed when Aldridge was admitted to the hospital to give birth to Reuben in January. While she was having a cesarean section, Shelton, a car-parts salesman, broke up with Aldridge through text, claiming he was sick of her accusing him of having an affair. “Ryan had seen baby Reuben for only a few minutes after he was born and then 10 minutes the day afterwards as he was moving all his stuff,” the new mom said. “They were in such a rush. He had even had my mum waiting for him with the car packed in the car park.” When Aldridge returned home with her new son, she realized Georgina, a nursing home worker, had also moved out. Although they continued to deny it, the couple finally fessed up that they were living together. The unusual new couple have now reportedly officially confirmed their relationship on Facebook, Metro UK reported. “My mum told me she can’t help who she falls in love with, and Ryan told me the same thing,” Aldridge said. “It was a huge kick in the teeth, they had been planning it throughout my whole pregnancy.” She said Eric is also devastated by the news. “She is meant to be a granny to my two children and helping me look after them, but instead, she’s off shagging my boyfriend,” said Aldridge. “I’m heartbroken and I’ve lost everything — my mum and the father to my kids.”

I hope you're okay

Burger King unveils plans for a new chicken sandwich; pay up to try McDonald's sandwich early or a chicken hoodie The Chicken Sandwich War of 2021 continues to heat up. Before McDonald's officially releases three new chicken sandwiches on Feb. 24 – including the Spicy Chicken Sandwich with a spicy pepper sauce – it is offering a way to get an early taste. Burger King also unveiled Wednesday that it has its own poultry plan. Starting at noon EST Thursday, McDonald's is giving early access through the website CHKNDrop.com. McDonald's says it costs $5 to "lock in your drop" and it will also sell a limited-edition capsule including a chicken sandwich hoodie, while supplies last. “We’re excited to give fans early access to this sandwich and exclusive swag they can’t get anywhere else to memorialize this great addition to our menu," David Tovar, the fast-food chain's vice president of U.S. Communications, said in a news release. McDonald's also will have the Crispy Chicken Sandwich with pickles on a toasted, buttered potato roll and a Deluxe Chicken Sandwich, which includes shredded lettuce, Roma tomatoes and mayonnaise. The last major chicken sandwich war was in August 2019 after Popeyes launched its New Orleans-style fried chicken sandwich. The chain then started a viral Twitter feud with Chick-fil-A and other restaurants. Restaurants have been heating up the chicken competition with new spicy products. Chick-fil-A debuted a new Grilled Spicy Chicken Deluxe Sandwich at restaurants nationwide on Jan. 22. Boston Market also has a new Nashville Hot Crispy Chicken Sandwich, its first crispy chicken sandwich. In early February, McDonald's brought back its Spicy Chicken McNuggets for a limited time. Burger King announced Wednesday it will introduce a new hand-breaded chicken sandwich later this year that it promises "will be worth the wait." The Miami-based chain said it has been working on the sandwich since 2019 and started testing it in September 2020 in markets including Miami; Huntsville, Alabama; and Phoenix. It will be available in original or spicy and served on a toasty potato bun with deli pickles and a signature sauce. “What if hand-breading were to chicken what flame-grilling is to burgers? That’s been our guiding filter to bring a delicious chicken sandwich to guests in a way only BK can,” Ellie Doty, chief marketing officer, Burger King North America, said in a news release. “We’ll take the time to get it right and our guests will definitely taste the difference.”

Emirati man accused of stealing camel as a gift for girlfriend

A 54-year-old woman who was waiting for her vehicle at a Queens car wash was struck and killed by an employee. Authorities say the woman was walking in front of the Crossbay Car Wash in Ozone Park around 2 p.m. Monday when a worker exiting the car wash bay in a 2011 Jeep Liberty hit her. The woman suffered severe body trauma and she later died at Jamaica Hospital, police said. After striking the woman, the worker also went on to hit a parked vehicle before coming to a rest. The worker was immediately taken into police custody, and the NYPD on Tuesday said 43-year-old Edwin Vargas has been charged with the woman's death. In addition to a vehicular manslaughter charge, Vargas was also charged with driving while intoxicated and driving while ability impaired. An investigation is ongoing and no other information was immediately available.

The popular CBS sitcom “Mom,” starring Emmy-winner Allison Janney, will end after the current eighth season. Chuck Lorre’s comedy about a group of tightknit addicts — including Janney’s lead character, Bonnie — will conclude with the May 6 season finale, which will serve as the series ender, according to Variety. The move comes after Anna Faris, who plays Bonnie’s daughter Christy, shockingly left the series right before production began on Season 8 in September. “For the past eight years, we’ve had the great honor to bring these wonderful characters to life, sharing their struggles and triumphs with millions of viewers every week,” said executive producers Lorre, Gemma Baker and Nick Bakay in a statement. “From the beginning, we set out to tell stories about recovery from alcoholism and addiction that are rarely portrayed in a network comedy series. Whether it was the emotional reactions of the live audience on tape night inside Stage 20, or discussions at the White House regarding the opioid crisis, or the personal stories we continue to receive on social media, we take great pride in knowing MOM has positively impacted so many lives. We are forever grateful to our brilliant cast and guest stars, wonderful writers, and amazing crew for going on this journey with us.” CBS Entertainment President Kelly Kahl added that the show, produced by Warner Bros. Television, “has touched people’s lives by sensitively tackling weighty yet relatable topics, with a perfect, deft touch.” On Tuesday’s episode of Ellen DeGeneres’ eponymous talk show, Janney, 61, told viewers that “it was very odd” not having Faris, 44, on the show anymore, adding, “She’s very missed. Anna is missed and her character on the show is missed. And we’re just happy that she’s doing what she wants to do now and we’re happy even more so that we’re able to still tell these stories about these great women and recovery. “And I think there’s some really wonderful characters that have been established,” she continued. “And people love the show so we’re gonna keep telling the stories as long as we can.” In a statement announcing her departure last year, Faris called her seven years on the show “some of the most fulfilling and rewarding of my career.” The show’s regular ensemble cast also includes Jaime Pressly, Mimi Kennedy, Beth Hall, Kristen Johnston and William Fichtner. Over the years, a number of other performers were featured as recurring and guest stars, including Yvette Nicole Brown, Ellen Burstyn, Kristin Chenoweth, Beverly D’Angelo, Patti LuPone, Joe Manganiello, Emily Osment, Kevin Pollak, Richard Schiff, June Squibb, Octavia Spencer, French Stewart (originally a series regular), Kathleen Turner, Steven Weber, Bradley Whitford and Rainn Wilson.

To be accurate: Bonilla's situation is not because of the contract he signed to play for the Mets, it's because of the buy-out arrangement they made to get out of that contract. In 2000, the Mets agreed to buy out Bonilla's remaining $5.9 million contract. Instead of paying that cash up-front, the team agreed to give Bonilla $1.19 million per year for 25 years. The payments were deferred, starting in 2011. His annual pay includes a guaranteed 8% interest rate. Bonilla's deal is extremely lucrative for two reasons. For one, the Mets are paying Bonilla nearly $29.8 million, which is the sum of all his annual payments. That's more than double the $12.7 million value Bonilla's contract would have had at the time he started getting paid in 2011. Further, an 8% guaranteed interest rate is especially generous. It's the equivalent of an 8% return on an investment every year, and without the volatility or risk present in the stock market. Since the Federal Reserve slashed interest rates to near zero during the Great Recession, savers can't get a comparable return on traditionally safe investments like cash or bonds. But Bonilla's deal is better yet, since his heirs would also continue getting paid each year if he were to pass away. For context, if the Mets paid a lower interest rate — 3%, for example — the team would have paid Bonilla about $455,000 each year (instead of $1.2 million), for a total value of about $11.4 million (instead of $29.8 million). Of course, the Mets didn't necessarily completely lose out on the deal. For one, they were able to free up cash by deferring pay, according to some observers. But the team did fall victim to a somewhat risky form of investment arbitrage involving Bernie Madoff. Mets owners believed they would easily be able to finance an 8% interest rate, since they were supposedly getting a higher return on an investment they'd made with Madoff.

A true Mets fan would never have raised this dreaded subject or at least would have used the smallest possible font to admit it.

My dad will soon be coming up on his 114th birthday, though we haven't celebrated it since he died in 1992. He was 55 & my mom was 41 when I was born. Can anyone beat that?

I always heard that EJ Korvette (the full name of the store) stood for Eight Jewish Korean Veterans, but apparently that was an urban myth.. E. J. Korvette, also known as Korvettes, was an American chain of discount department stores, founded in 1948 in New York City. It was one of the first department stores to challenge the suggested retail price provisions of anti-discounting statutes. Founded by World War II veteran Eugene Ferkauf and his friend, Joe Zwillenberg, E. J. Korvette did much to define the idea of a discount department store. It displaced earlier five and dime retailers and preceded later discount stores, like Walmart, and warehouse clubs such as Costco. According to Korvette's founder, Eugene Ferkauf, who died on June 5, 2012, the name "E. J. Korvette" was coined as a combination of the initials of its founders (Eugene and Joe) and a re-spelling of the naval term corvette, a nimble sailing warship and later World War II sub-destroyer. The company's founding in 1948 (two years before the Korean War) disproves the urban legend that the name was an acronym for "Eight (or Eleven) Jewish Korean War Veterans". Founders Ferkauf and Zwillenberg, however, were Jewish. The company failed to properly manage its business success, which led to decline and its 1980 bankruptcy and closure.
