Ashlee Simpson's dad shops baby photos: Simpson's dad-ager, Joe Simpson, is reportedly trying to cash in by offering the weekly magazines a chance to feature mom-to-be Ashlee on the cover with an interview and exclusive photos, once the baby is born. Sources say Simpson is asking for $1 million, but according to the NY Post, one magazine editor said the photos would fetch "$60,000 maybe."

Unprecedented custody hearing begins in polygamist case: State prosecutors will appear before a Texas judge this morning to defend their decision to remove 416 children from a polygamist compound and keep them from their mothers. The key witness, a 16-year-old girl who allegedly called authorities and said she was being forced to marry, has not been identified
or located.

Obama and Clinton dismiss VP talk: Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton were left speechless when asked if they would pick the other as their running mate in last night's contentious debate. The must-win Pennsylvania primary for Clinton is less than a week away and Obama is picking up more endorsements. The Boss, Bruce Springsteen himself, says Obama is the only candidate who can reverse the damage of the past eight years.

Study helps access preemies survival rate: Research suggests doctors and hospitals should consider four factors when assessing a premature babies survival rate including birth weight, sex, whether a mom was given steroids before delivery to mature the baby's lungs, and whether infants are "singletons" or part of a multiple birth. These factors allow doctors to predict survival with a 3% margin of error, according to the study published in today's New England Journal of Medicine.

DON’T BE DUPED !!! Large numbers of Republicans have been voting for Barack Obama in the DEMOCRATIC primaries, and caucuses from early on. Because they feel he would be a weaker opponent against John McCain. With Hillary Clinton you are almost 100% certain to get quality, affordable universal health care very soon. But first, all of you have to make certain that Hillary Clinton takes the democratic nomination and then the Whitehouse. NOW! is the time. THIS! is the moment you have all been working, and waiting for. You can do this America. “Carpe diem” (harvest the day). I think Hillary Clinton see’s a beautiful world of plenty for all. She’s a woman, and a mother. And it’s time America. Do this for your-selves, and your children’s future. You will have to work together on this and be aggressive, relentless, and creative. Americans face an even worse catastrophe ahead than the one you are living through now. You see, the medical and insurance industry mostly support the republicans with the money they ripped off from you. And they don’t want you to have quality, affordable universal health care. They want to be able to continue to rip you off, and kill you and your children by continuing to deny you life saving medical care that you have already paid for. So they can continue to make more immoral profits for them-selves. Hillary Clinton has actually won by much larger margins than the vote totals showed. And lost by much smaller vote margins than the vote totals showed. Her delegate count is actually much higher than it shows. And higher than Obama’s. She also leads in the electoral college numbers that you must win to become President in the November national election. HILLARY CLINTON IS ALREADY THE TRUE DEMOCRATIC NOMINEE! As much as 30% of Obama’s primary, and caucus votes are Republicans trying to choose the weakest democratic candidate for McCain to run against. These Republicans have been gaming the caucuses where it is easier to vote cheat. This is why Obama has not been able to win the BIG! states primaries. Even with Republican vote cheating help. Hillary Clinton has been OUT MANNED! OUT GUNNED! and OUT SPENT! 4 and 5 to 1. Yet Obama has only been able to manage a very tenuous, and questionable tie with Hillary Clinton. If Obama is the democratic nominee for the national election
