King Recovering
Stephen King was walking near his
home in Maine when he was struck by a van. He was thrown 14 feet when the driver of a
minivan lost control of his vehicle after he was distracted by his Rottweiler. The driver
does not face charges. Officers did note, however, that King, 51, was in violation of the
law since he was walking in the same direction as traffic. King underwent more than seven
hours of surgery on his injured leg and hip Monday. Doctors say he will need at least a
year of major rehabilitation before he can regain the ability to walk normally. But his office
says his injuries are only from the neck down. His mental state is great. King is currently in
serious but stable condition at Central Maine Medical Center, where he will likely remain
for two to three weeks.

separation. In an effort to get his wife and kids back, Scott became a born-again Christian.
But Mrs. B said she would only take him back if he wrote a letter to Jen's New York-based boyfriend Carson Daly of MTV's Total
Request Live. In the letter Scott blamed Jennifer for their flirtation saying it was she
who caused him to almost lose his wife and sons. Now everyone knows what she did
last summer.The Mom Who Shagged Austin
What would you do if your 11-year-old son picked up an Austin Powers doll that asked, "Do I make
you horny baby, do I?" A Georgia woman filed an obscenity complaint against Toys R Us
