LOS ANGELES — Mr. Berndt’s third-grade classroom was up on the second floor, tucked away at the rear of Miramonte Elementary School, its windows looking out onto a playground.
When he locked the door, the classroom became a private sanctum where authorities allege that the 61-year-old teacher spoon-fed his semen to blindfolded children in a bizarre sexual game he documented in photographs.
This week’s “Supernatural,” titled “The Splice Girls,” will no doubt leave fans split since it revisited the basic theme of one of this season’s most divisive episodes, “The Girl Next Door.”

While I haven’t always found that window when the door closed in the past, some part of me has clung to that belief over the years. In my recent experience, I have discovered that it just isn’t true: He doesn’t merely open a window, He actually opens a universe.

Instead of knocking the burglars outside his house with a shovel like Macaulay Culkin in “Home Alone,” this 12-year-old did the safe and mature thing when strangers knocked on his front door Tuesday in La Mirada. He called the police.
As the Orange County Register reports, three burglars knocked on the front door and, apparently believing no one was home, walked around to the back yard. Meanwhile, at about 12:30pm, the boy called 911 and, according to Fullerton police Sgt. Andrew Goodrich, “was kind of watching from whatever vantage point he had in the house. He saw them coming in and kept the dispatchers informed of what was going on.”
Police rushed to the scene with lights and sirens, and the suspects fled in a pickup upon the officers’ arrival. A car chase ensued, ending with the suspects crashing into another vehicle and then fleeing from their car.
Collier County defeated Lee County on Saturday for its fourth straight My Shower Door Challenge Cup.
As is, aside from the tuneful Lerner/Lane score, there is little to recommend this theatrical therapy. Connick is wooden, and despite good efforts by supporting players, the show is disjointed.

We finally caught Justin Bieber’s latest ad for his perfume, ‘Someday,’ and we have to admit, it’s a little more, er, adult than his other video spots. In the new commercial, JB begins by saying, “Dear Dad,” and ends with, “The next time you hear [your daughter] screaming my name, relax. It’s better than hearing her scream ‘Joey,’ who lives next door.”
Funny, but was anyone else a tad surprised to hear squeaky clean Biebs make that kind of joke?! Watch the video in question below, along with his other 7 spots. Let us know which ad you think is the most awesome (or outrageous) in the comments!
We started holding hands, and we suddenly heard, “What’s all this?” We turned and saw the flight attendant standing over us, glaring down at our clasped hands. We asked what she was talking about, and she pointed directly at our hand-holding.

In the morning, I wake up from sweet dream, the birthday dolls still in my arms. Say happy birthday with smile and make a wish for the future. Energy and passion embrace me. Suddenly, the door bell rang, that is the express delivery. To my surprise, I accept the gift I want most.
Right now, the golf world is a revolving door. Players enter to play for two weeks then get whipped out of the rotation and miss a cut.
Joe McGinniss’s new book, The Rogue: Searching for the Real Sarah Palin touts itself as “a startling and penetrating examination of the illusion and reality of Palin,” but the book’s claims about Palin’s supposed fling with college basketball star Glen Rice, and her alleged cocaine use (reportedly snorted from the top of an empty oil drum) — suggest a decidedly low-brow approach.
Team Palin has pushed back against McGinniss’s account, characterizing it as the product of an obsessive personal vendetta. (Watch McGinniss and Todd Palin discuss the book in the video below.)
“This is a man who has been relentlessly stalking my family to the point of moving in right next door to us to harass us and spy on us to satisfy his creepy obsession with my wife,” Todd Palin wrote of McGinniss. “His book is full of disgusting lies, innuendo and smears. Even The New York Times called this book ‘dated, petty,’ and that it ‘chases caustic, unsubstantiated gossip.’”
