some old queen

USAToday:

Queen Elizabeth II becomes Britain's oldest-ever monarch on Thursday, beating the record of Queen Victoria.

Victoria, born on May 24, 1819, lived for 81 years and 243 days.

Buckingham Palace, calculating longevity down to the hour, said Elizabeth would move past Victoria at about 5 p.m. Thursday — 12 p.m. ET.

shanghaiist (from a year ago):

China announced yesterday it is tightening its adoption rules for foreigners. Starting May 1, the following groups of people will not be allowed to take home a Chinese child:

• Unmarried
• Homosexual
• Obese
• Disfigured
• On anti-depressants

We want to be clear we are in no way insinuating that Harvey Fierstein (pictured) is disfigured or on anti-depressants.

Britney's sister's sperm source's sexcrime?

If 19-year-old Casey Aldridge really is the father and the baby was conceived in Spears' home state of Louisiana, the act could technically be considered "felony carnal knowledge of a juvenile" - defined as "sexual intercourse with consent between someone age 19 or older and someone between age 12 and 17".

Update: Baby Daddy just a baby. No felony at least.

There's also a recent interview with Casey's uncle that makes it clear Casey is 18, not 19, and that he's just a month less than two years older than Jamie Lynn. That means that their relationship would not be classified as statutory rape in Louisiana, but that it is legally a misdemeanor in California.
