 Abusive parents charged with murdering 18-month-old daughter, Two parents from Tucson were arrested and jailed Thursday on child abuse charges after they called authorities to report that one of their 18-month-old twins was not breathing. That couple, Kristepher Benavidez, 25, and Monique Gaxiola, 30, are now facing murder charges in the death of their infant daughter, KVOA in Tuscon reported on March 15. Emergency Medical Technicians from the Tucson Fire Department first went to the couple’s home on Wednesday after receiving the call that the baby girl wasn’t breathing. The EMTs transported the infant to the hospital and also contacted the Tucson Police Department.     Medical staff notified police that the child had non-accidental injuries. The baby girl died Friday as a result of her injuries. Police eventually found the infant’s twin and her 7-year-old sister staying with neighbors. Authorities determined that the other twin also had “non-accidental injuries.” Tucson Police Depar

One Direction’s Harry Styles Is Single: “Maybe I’m Too Flirty” With three-fifths of One Direction currently off the market, single band members Harry Styles and Niall Horan are in a very good position. “I wouldn’t say I’m girl-crazy, but that makes me sound like a bit of a womanizer. That isn’t really me,” Styles says in the November. “But I am quite flirty — maybe I’m too flirty. I’m an 18-year-old boy, and I like to have fun.” Styles — who lists Taylor Swift , 22, Rihanna , 24, and Rita Orta , 21, as his celebrity crushes — insists he doesn’t “actively look for a girlfriend. If I meet somebody who I like, then we’ll see what happens.” Though Horan, 19, has been linked to good pal Demi Lovato , 20, in recent months, he tells the magazine he doesn’t “really have time to think about girls. When I’m not working, I only want to go back to Ireland and chill with my friends. Friends and family come first — always.” When it comes to romance, “I don’t

Hollywood sure is weird sometimes. So weird, in fact, that it produced one of the world's most bizarre couples, Tom Cruise and Cher, back in the '80s. It took the couple about two decades to come clean about their relationship, when Cher went on "Good Morning America" and said Cruise "was not a Scientologist when they were seeing each other" and continued on to describe him as "just the most adorable man you can imagine." In 20 years, Katie Holmes is bound to do the same.

Sheen's daughter, Making Charlie Sheen mad is a bad idea. And bullying Charlie Sheen's daughter is apparently a very bad idea. The girl's former school has unfortunately learned this after the actor called for supporters to smear dog poop on the school in protest. The source of this rather insane protest is a bullying incident involving Sheen's 9-year-old daughter, Sam. The actor alleges that another girl bullied Sam last year. Because of the bullying, Sheen and ex-wife Denise Richards removed their daughter from the school in March 2012. Now, Sheen is ready to go on the offensive against what he considers the improper handling of the incident by the Viewpoint School of Calabasas, California. As Sheen explained to TMZ.com, "There's no statute of limitations on bullying... [the school] should be ashamed of itself for allowing the bullying to go on and try to hide it." Sheen also alleges that the school accused his daughter of being a liar in the situation.

Bacon-shell tacos, Fans who stop in to see the West Michigan Whitecaps play can pick up a tasty bacon-shell taco. The Baco received the most votes during a recent contest to determine the ballpark’s next unique offering. After narrowing down a list of 150 competitors to just 10, Whitecaps fans were allowed to vote on which item should make it onto the ballpark’s menu. The bacon-shell taco ultimately emerged victorious. The runner-up in this year’s contest was something called The Bad Joke. The unusual concoction consisted of a corndog dipped in cheese and placed on a bun. The cherry on top: two strips of duck bacon. Other contenders for this year’s title included Teeny Weenies and Rascal Chow, the latter of which consisted of popcorn, candy, and bacon. In addition to the bacon-shell tacos, visitors to the West Michigan Whitecaps’ ballpark can test their gastrointestinal might with the Squeelin’ Pig. The pulled-pork sandwich comes with a “punch of Giardiniera, a sprinkle of ghost peppe
