Sue Beard and her husband, Ray, were traveling from the northern edge of Arizona to Torrey, Utah, when they became stuck and damaged their rented car on a winding, deserted mountain road.
Married just five months, they wrote letters to their family and amendments to their wills while they weathered daytime temperatures in the 90s and nighttime lows in the 30s for four days and nights.
During the day, they would open the car doors for ventilation, but that would attract chigoe fleas that left them with hundreds of bites.
Well aware that they would not last much longer unless they ventured out for help, the Beards gathered their remaining supplies on May 31 and tried to hike back to a main road.
They were awakened by the sound of a passing motorcycle and were eventually able to get the attention of another group of riders.
The couple were airlifted to a hospital in Page, Ariz., and given intravenous fluids, but spent just five hours in the emergency room.
The Beards hope their experience will serve as a warning to other motorists who travel in unfamiliar territory without double-checking the route supplied by a GPS device. There were no signs along the route warning them of the treacherous conditions that lay ahead, the Beards said.

“And the Emmy goes to… Britney Spears”? Well, the pop star has come one step closer to making that into a reality with her inclusion on the ballot of possible Emmy nominees.For her double-shot guest appearance as Abby on CBS hit How I Met Your Mother, Brit-Brit is one of 41 actresses on the official ballot released by the Academy of Television Arts & Sciences to its voters. Keep in mind, this is the list that is whittled down to the final nominees for the September ceremony.

WOAH! I thought Alicia was strictly vajayjay.
Mashonda made this statement to Hip Hop Weekly regarding an alleged affair between Swiss Beatz and Alicia Keys:
[Alicia Keys] is her own woman and she has made her own choices. I don’t have a problem with her. I will say this though, I am not a scorned woman. I have a responsibility to raise [my son], he’s my number one priority and everyday I strive more for him and of course my music.”
If Barbara Walters did it, Alicia could too. Hot dayum!

“It was like, ‘I need to be a rock star because this is no good: Being the kind of guy that everybody likes but no one wants to have sex with,’” Martin recalls. “I don’t want to be the person that makes everybody laugh before they go off and bang. I want to be the guy that everybody bangs.”
London coppers have pinched the two people who allegedly gave Amy Winehouse the drugs she did on tape — but aren’t going after Amy herself!
The po-po say the two have been charged with conspiracy to supply cocaine and ecstasy to Wino. They were nabbed after those crazazy pics ran in the Sun a few months ago.
But here’s the rub: Amy herself has been cleared of any charges from the incident, even though she was the one caught doin’ the drugs.
I don’t really want this crackhead to go to jail cause I have a feeling she’d get knocked up in there, selling her rotten cooter for drugs. And the last thing we need right now is a Wino baby on this earth.

Now this is the meaning of true friendship, going to a tabloid and talking trash about one of your closest friends. As if JT’s not gonna get PISSED!
Justin Timberlake’s BFF (and business partner) Trace Ayala doesn’t expect the singer and Jessica Biel to walk down the aisle anytime soon.
Asked if he sees wedding bells in their future, he said, “I hope so. To be honest, I don’t see them in the future, but I hope so. I really do.”
That lil comment makes JT sound like a commitment phobe slut! Not right.
“I don’t see them in the future” - luvs it! Trace is holding back, though. There must be a reason why he said that. He went on to say they really get along great together. Jess must suck in bed. I’m hoping.
She’s got an amazing ass and rock hard abs, but that’s not enough to please, honey. I should know. My gut and cellulite brings all the jerks to the yard. I know how to work this jelly. Heh. And now that I’m hearing about how hot pregnancy sex is, that makes me feel better. Ladies, no matter what size you are, be confident and work yo shiz!
I’m sure it has nothing to do with Jess’ bedroom skills. It’s just so odd that one of JT’s best friends would be like, “I don’t see a wedding poppin’ off. Nope!” Ouch! How’s that supposed to make Jessica feel?

A woman won Top Chef Wednesday night for the first time in the Bravo show’s four-season history.
Chicagoan Stephanie Izard, 31, beat out 15 contestants. She battled against finalists Lisa Fernandes of New York and Richard Blais of Atlanta in the finale.
“I just made the best meal that night,” Izard told The Associated Press. “It came down to who brought their A-game.”
Izard, who called the show “one of the hardest things I’ve done,” will pocket $100,000.
The chef says her future plans include opening a new restaurant in Chicago.
On Wednesday, the network announced it was developing Top Chef Junior, which will pit teenagers against each other.
Congrats!
