Intro
Week 12. My week off was nice. I got a load of work done, saw some family, and, most importantly, had lots of late mornings. To be honest I'd quite like to stay, but uni calls.
Lifestyle
When I saw this story for the first time, I got weird images in my head of Patrick Swayze and a vase. A British woman has claimed to have slept with 20 spirits and is engaged to another.
Amethyst realm, while on 'This Morning', told the show's presenters that her ghostly partner popped the question on a trip to Wookey Hole Cave. According to Miss Realm, she met the spectre on a work trip to Australia, and he apparently has no name.
She also said that her friends and family have embraced her choice and she wishes to conduct a Pagan ceremony for the wedding. Apparently, the couple haven't discussed any details about the wedding but it should be 'quite a big do'.

Crime
Candidate for the world's most serious man award, Alec Baldwin, has been arrested. He was apparently charged with assault on Friday after an altercation in New York.
According to police, Mr Baldwin and a New York man got into an argument over a parking space. In annoyance, the actor decided to settle things with a good old fashioned right hook. The man was then taken to hospital to have his injuries treated.
The Trump impersonator has since been charged with assault and harassment, but has stated on twitter that the 'Assertion that I punched anyone over a parking spot is false'. He is set to appear in court on a later date.

Some More Crime
Granted, this one is a few weeks old but it NEEDS to be in here. Apparently the hunt is on for a truly evil criminal: The Googly Eye Bandit.
This statue of Nathaniel Greene in Savannah was vandalised by persons unknown, with the terrible application of the dreaded googly eye. Gobsmacked by this, the City of Savannah Government took to twitter, expressing their dread and informing the public that this monstrous act is in fact a crime, as the eyes allegedly caused harm to the statue.
In truth, the culprit could face a charge of criminal trespassing and it is being treated as serious due to it being a statue of a deceased person who served in the military, and if the damage is in the excess of $500, they could be charged with a felony.

Music
Pharrell Williams has allegedly banned US President Donald Trump from using his music. This comes after one of the president's more cringeworthy blunders: playing Williams' 'Happy' just hours after the Pittsburgh Synagogue shooting.
In response to the song's use at the event over the weekend, Williams' lawyer sent a cease and desist letter to the President, as not only was it poorly timed but, it is also a copyright infringement, and in violation of trademark rights, as no request was made to use the song.
This is not the first time Trump has used an artist's music without consent. REM, Queen and Aerosmith have all objected to the President's use of their songs in the past, when no consent was given.

TV
Joe Swash has revealed the I'm a celebrity line-up for this years competition.
In one of the unluckiest turns of events, the former Jungle King leaked possible faces to appear in the jungle to his dear old Nan. She then got talking to a random man in a supermarket queue... who happened to work for the Norfolk Gazette... and she told him everything.
He revealed his wonder blunder on 'This Morning', and while he couldn't have possibly guessed this would happen, the presenters will now have to wait to find out the line up just like everybody else. Rumored contestants include the likes of Danny Dyer, Jamie Laing and Brendan Cole.
