A Connecticut family has been saved from a house fire by a new bride who rushed inside through thick smoke while wearing her wedding gown.
Officials say Georgette Clemons had just left her wedding reception Sunday evening when she spotted smoke coming from a Bridgeport home.
Clemons got out of the car she was riding in and ran into the home. She says a woman was yelling about her animals and didn't want to leave, so she had to pull her out.
As firefighters arrived and battled the blaze after members of the Eitelberg family were rescued, Clemons was nearby folding her blackened wedding dress.
Clemons says she messed up her shoes, but says that's no big deal because everyone is safe.
- Pennsylvania state police near Erie are searching for vandals who covered a home in ketchup, mustard and toilet paper.
State police say the vandals struck sometime between 11 p.m. Saturday and about 8 a.m. Sunday on Old Route 99 in McKean Township.
Police say the condiments damaged the outside of the home.
Police haven't identified any suspects, nor given a possible motive for the vandalism.
- It was eggs – rather than ketchup and mustard – that protesters used to make a mess of the Czech Republic's European election campaign.
It all started two weeks ago when Lukas Botka, a 26-year-old activist, shelled Jiri Paroubek, chairman of the left-wing Social Democrats, at a rally in the town of Kolin.
More than 43,000 people then joined a Facebook campaign titled "Eggs for Paroubek in every town!"
Paroubek urged police to guard his party's events in anticipation of further problems. But officers couldn't stop dozens of eggs from hitting Paroubek and other politicians as they attempted to give speeches in Prague on Wednesday.
Sixteen people were briefly detained and no more eggings have been reported. Still, the egg-throwers succeeded in shifting the country's pre-election focus away from issues such as the economic crisis.
- And finally, singer Susan Boyle was being treated for exhaustion at a mental health clinic Monday after taking second place in a TV talent competition that turned the humble church volunteer into a global star, the show's producers and a newspaper said.
Boyle was admitted to London's Priory Clinic on Sunday, a day after she finished behind a male dance group on the show "Britain's Got Talent," the Sun newspaper reported.
"Nobody has had to put up with the kind of attention Susan has had. Nobody could have predicted it," one of the show's judges, Piers Morgan, told breakfast TV show GMTV. "It has been crazy, she has gone from anonymity to being the most downloaded woman in history."
Boyle was favored to win the show's finals — watched by more than 19 million people — after a clip from her first appearance became the fifth most-watched in YouTube history, viewed more than 220 million times.
