Kim Kardashian Resurfaces After Health Scare, Shows Off Baby Bump in Tight Black Mini dress

Kim Kardashian's idea of taking it easy may be different from other people's. On Monday, March 11 -- six days after being urged to rest by her doctor -- the pregnant reality star reappeared in L.A. looking healthy, glamorous, and ready to take on the world.

Snapped pumping her own gas, the 32-year-old mom-to-be put her baby bump on full display in a tight black minidress with silver studs. She also wore black open-toed stiletto heels.

The Kourtney & Kim Take Miami star, expecting her first child with boyfriend Kanye West this July, has been laying low in recent days following a minor pregnancy scare on Tuesday, March 5. But a source told Us Weekly last week that she's "fine" and just needed a break from her hectic schedule.

"She's been working a lot, and with a divorce and the move and everything else she has going on, she just needs to take a little rest," the pal explained.

Kardashian's younger sister khloe, 28, also reassured fans that all is well lot of you have expressed concern in the recent hours about Kim," she wrote on her blog. "And I just wanted to let you all know that mommy and baby are doing fine and just taking it easy right now."

Added the mom-to-be herself on March 8: "Thanks for all the well wishes, I'm doing fine! Just resting...have a good week

Halle Berry Shows Crazy Cleavage in Super Low-Cut Dress on Jay Leno

Holy Halle! On The Tonight Show Monday, March 11, Halle Berry made host Jay Leno's jaw drop by wearing a short black dress that showed massive cleavage. Not only did the LBD feature a plunging neckline, but it also had a high slit in the front.

"I take it back, I like this dress better!" Leno told Berry, of the dress she wore on his show. "My wife and I [had] both agreed you had the best dress at the Oscars."

For the 2013 Oscars on Feb. 24, Berry wore a glittery black and metallic custom Versace dress. But The Call actress, 46, says she almost wore a different gown.

"I had a conversation with Donatella Versace. We told her that I wanted to go to the Oscars as a Bond girl, like if a Bond girl would go in 2013. So she came up with what her idea of it was, but she's out of the country," the Die Another Day star explained to Leno. "So she put it in a suitcase, shipped it here and I got it the day before the Oscars."

"So the day before -- I had some other dress that I was going to wear which was beautiful -- I pulled this out it out and it was just like [Bam!] and it fit perfectly," Berry said. "I felt like I was wearing a Ferrari."

"I enjoy driving a Ferrari," Jay Leno joked flirtatiously. "Can you drive a stick shift? I'm curious."

"He always does this to me when I come on the show," Berry told the audience with a laugh.

But Berry's so-called Ferrari dress did have one flaw. She said there are no pictures of her posing with her hands on her hips because she couldn't lift her arms in the long-sleeved jeweled gown.

"It's just the way it was," she said of the designer gown. "I couldn't do it."

Benny Hinn re-marries his wife!

After reconciling late last year, evangelist Benny Hinn remmaried his ex-wife and mother of his four children Suzanne Harthern.

 

Hinn married Suzanne in 1979 and divorced her 31 years later in 2010. He claimed at the time that the split came about because of Suzanne's addiction to prescription drugs. 

 In 2012, Hinn announced that he and Suzanne have begun reconciliation and the couple remarried on Sunday March 3, 2013 in Orlando, Florida. Inspiring! 

The couple made their announcement on "The 700 club" Monday that they will tie the knot for a second time this fall.  They divorced in 2010 after 30 years of marriage.

Earlier this month, Hinn admitted he often put his work before his wife, and that partially led to their separation.

"Benny has always said he was [committed] to the ministry, and I had no problem with that. Then he started to say that he was married to the ministry," Suzanne told host Pat Robertson during the broadcast.

Heavy snow and ice cause traffic chaos in Northern Europe!!

Hundreds of drivers have been stranded for hours overnight in Kent and Sussex after the abrupt return of winter conditions caught out the Highways Agency for the first time since its gritting and ploughing system was beefed up last year.




Collisions and breakdowns prevented many of the fleet of 500 emergency trucks from reaching iced-up stretches where queues eventually stretched back as far as 30 miles with cars and lorries stuck for up to 10 hours.
The Met Office's yellow "be aware" warning cloaks all but the western coastal areas of the UK and the forecast is for ice, renewed snow and sleet, more of the same on Wednesday and no return to warmer conditions until the weekend.
Most of the rest of the UK escaped disruption but was left shivering in the coldest conditions in March since 1986. The lowest temperature overnight was at Saughall, in south Lanarkshire, which recorded -12C (10F). Northern England had clear skies and bright sunshine on Tuesday but was bitterly cold.
Those caught out by the south-east snowfall included a group of 120 German students who were put up overnight at Hastings town hall as temperatures fell to -3C (27F), with volunteers working in shifts to provide bedding and hot drinks.



The worst-affected roads included the M23, A23, A26, A27 and A29, which were all hit by about 10cm (4in) of snow.
Gatwick airport worker Jonathan Lara told the BBC it had taken him eight hours to creep along eight miles of his commute home to Brighton.
"It looks like the gritters have been totally caught out by this," he said, from his car. "I've been stuck in the same place for about three and a half hours now and it looks like I'm going to be here for hours yet."
Another stranded driver described zig-zagging desperately between abandoned cars to maintain speed and headway as "like driving through some sort of apocalypse".
The singer Cheryl Baker tweeted from a benighted expedition to collect her children, which normally takes an hour: "So 8 hours later, STILL stuck on the A25. Could have flown to NY by now. Was it the wrong kind of snow?"
The Highways Agency said the weather had been expected and emergency vehicles were stationed at six places in the south-east to go into action straight away. But accidents and breakdowns had combined with very strong winds and drifting to frustrate road-clearing.
 


"We have been working throughout the night with our partners in the emergency services and local authorities to respond to hundreds of incidents which took place in the heavy snow and strong winds," the agency said. "We treated our roads continually throughout the afternoon and during the night, but a large number of incidents, including heavy goods vehicles breaking down on hills, caused closures at several locations. As a result, a number of our salt spreaders and recovery vehicles then became caught in the traffic.
"Strong winds, gusting at speeds of up to 50 miles an hour, created snow drifts of up to a metre in height, in many cases blowing snow back on to the carriageway as soon as it had been cleared. As part of our emergency response we used pre-positioned heavy recovery vehicles in six locations in the south-east from 6pm onwards to help with blockages on the roads.
"In locations where blockages were cleared we were able to dedicate gritting crews to specific stretches of road where the weather was at its worst and to get queuing traffic moving again. The welfare of people caught in the queues elsewhere has been paramount and traffic officers and our colleagues in the emergency services have been making contact with people to ensure their wellbeing."

The agency said further snow was expected in the two counties and only essential road journeys should be attempted. The South East Coast ambulance service was using four-wheel drives to get essential staff to work.
The scale of chaos due to just one miscalculation was shown on the A2 at Lydden near Dover, where a jack-knifed lorry left more than 100 people stuck for four hours. Kent police said that ferry and Channel tunnel traffic was caught up in exceptional bottlenecks, including the familiar troublespot of the M20.
Acting Chief Inspector Kay Maynard said: "We know how difficult it has been for many people who felt stranded in their vehicles. We have been trying to get to as many as possible to offer reassurance, as well as deal with the problems on the roads caused by collisions and broken down vehicles.
"The volume of snow and the drifting caused in exposed areas has been a major issue. As soon as roads were cleared and gritted, they were becoming covered in snow again.

Inspector James Biggs, of Sussex police, said the force's officers had worked throughout the night at full capacity alongside the Highways Agency, with the worst-affected area being the A23 and M23 near Handcross Hill.
"Officers are assisting the gritters to try to get them to these areas as soon as possible," he said. "If drivers could assist us by allowing the gritters through the congestion as much as possible this would be greatly appreciated. Many drivers have been rescued but I know many more have endured long hours stuck in their vehicles."
Rail and air travel in the south-east faces delays all day, with cancellations on major commuter routes to and from Brighton and Eastbourne.
 


All Eurostar services have been cancelled on Tuesday by the bad weather on the continent rather than in south-east England, where lines were operational. Trains have been unable to run in parts of France and Belgium.
Trains between London and Brighton have been reduced to an hourly service, with other delays in Essex, the West Midlands, and between Barry and Cardiff in south Wales. Southern trains have warned of short-notice cancellations and delays of up to 60 minutes across the company's network.
The Channel Islands are recovering from a similar dumping of heavy snow but Jersey airport remains closed.
Concerns that areas of frozen track might cause the opening day's action at the Cheltenham festival to be abandoned were allayed when it passed a mid-morning inspection.
The biggest daffodil festival in the UK held in March at Thriplow in Hertfordshire faces a delayed launch next year after four years running with meagre entries because of winter weather. This year's will go ahead as planned the weekend of 16 and 17 March, but without daffodils in flower because the chill has left most a month behind.

 

Awaiting a new Pope!

The 115 cardinals tasked with electing a new pope have been locked in the Sistine Chapel, marking the start of conclave in Rome on Tuesday.
Monsignor Guido Marini, master of liturgical ceremonies, closed the double doors after shouting "Extra omnes," Latin for "all out," telling everyone but those taking part in the conclave to leave the frescoed hall. He then locked it.
During the voting that ensues, each cardinal writes his choice on a rectangular piece of paper inscribed with the words "Eligo in summen pontificem" — Latin for "I elect as Supreme Pontiff."

 


Holding the folded ballot up in the air, each approaches the altar and places it on a saucer, before tipping it into an oval urn, as he intones these words: "I call as my witness, Christ the Lord, who will be my judge that my vote is given to the one who, before God, I think should be elected."
After the votes are counted, and the outcomes announced, the papers are bound together with a needle and thread, each ballot pierced through the word "Eligo." The ballots are then placed in a cast-iron stove and burned with a special chemical.
That's when all eyes will turn to the 6-foot-high copper chimney erected atop the Sistine Chapel to pipe out puffs of smoke to tell the world if there's a new pope.
Black smoke means "not yet" — the likely outcome after Round 1. White smoke means the 266th pope has been chosen.

 

The first puffs of smoke should emerge sometime Tuesday evening. If they are black, voting will continue, four rounds each day, until a pope is elected.
Whoever he is, the next pope will face a church in crisis: Benedict spent his eight-year pontificate trying to revive Catholicism amid the secular trends that have made it almost irrelevant in places like Europe, once a stronghold of Christianity. Clerical sex abuse scandals have soured many faithful on their church, and competition from rival evangelical churches in Latin America and Africa has drawn souls away.


 
On the eve of the vote, cardinals offered wildly different assessments of what they're looking for in the next pontiff and how close they are to a decision. It was evident Benedict XVI's surprise resignation has continued to destabilize the church leadership and that his final appeal for unity may go unheeded, at least in the early rounds of voting.

Cardinals held their final closed-door debate Monday over whether the church needs more of a manager to clean up the Vatican's bureaucratic mess or a pastor to inspire the 1.2 billion faithful in times of crisis. The fact that not everyone got a chance to speak was a clear sign that there's still unfinished business on the eve of the conclave.
"This time around, there are many different candidates, so it's normal that it's going to take longer than the last time," Cardinal Francisco

Explosion at building on fire in Harrison

There's been an explosion at a two-story building at Frank E. Rodgers Boulevard and Davis Street where fire fighters are battling a blaze. It happened during a five-alarm blaze that extended to some adjoining buildings in Harrison, New Jersey.

The fire sent heavy, black smoke spewing from the two-story buildings in the Hudson County community. Officials also say a backdraft caused an explosion that shattered a window. 


At least five firefighters sustained injuries while battling the blaze, which broke out Sunday morning in Harrison and burned for several hours. While none of the injuries are life-threatening, officials say one firefighter suffered extensive cuts in the explosion. 


 


It's not yet clear what sparked the blaze, which apparently started on the ground floor and spread toward a nearby apartment building. No civilian injuries have been reported.



Traffic is being detoured in the area, leading to some travel delays. The fire also forced organizers to re-route a St. Patrick's Day parade being staged nearby.
