Wendy Gruel trails in the polls in the L.A. mayoral race and now she's playing the "vote for me, I'd be the first ever female mayor" card.

A intelligence unit of the Department of Homeland Security issued a report this past April 10th that identified the finish line of the Boston Marathon as an area of "increased vulnerability" and they warned Boston police that extremists might use small scale bombings at the event.

Actress Heather Graham, appearing in "Hangover, Part III" which opens soon, says she wants good sex, and maybe someday to get married.

An 83 year old nun and two fellow protesters were convicted of interfering with national security when they broke into and defaced a nuclear weapons facility in Tennessee.
