Abercrombie padded bikini tops

Abercrombie padded bikini tops

Swimsuit season is looming and stores are galore with itsy bitsy bikinis.

But shockingly, one of America's largest clothing retail chains, Abercrombie & Fitch, is marketing padded bikini tops to girls as young as eight.

Included in the current spring line for Abercrombie Kids (a division of the fashion company specifically dedicated to eight to 14 year olds) is the "Ashley" Push-Up Triangle -- a triangular-shaped bikini top which comes complete with thick padding.

Moms and child development experts are aghast over the garment and the damage it could potentially do to young girls in making them feel inadequate with their pre-adolescent bodies.

"This is appalling! If a parent buys a padded bikini for an eight-year-old, children's services should be called! The sexualization of teens is bad enough and now this trend is trickling down to our babies," parenting expert Dr. Janet Rose said.

Katie Couric

Katie Couric considers leaving 'CBS Evening News'

The Katie Couric era at the "CBS Evening News" appears to be drawing to a close.

Couric, whose five-year contract to anchor the network's nightly news program expires in early June, is looking more likely to take a shot at daytime television, people familiar with the situation said.


Almost from the day she started, there has been speculation that Couric was not as comfortable working the evening shift as she was in her previous job as co-anchor of NBC's hugely successful morning show, "Today." Ratings for all network newscasts have declined sharply during the past decade while the morning shows have become profit centers.

Although Couric may exit network news, she could still end up working for CBS in daytime. She has been consulting with Jeff Zucker, her former producer on "Today" and the ex-chief executive of NBCUniversal, on a new talk show and has been pitching CBS as well as NBC and ABC.

Couric also wants to keep a toe in news. A deal with CBS, for example, could also include appearances on "60 Minutes" and other news programs, a person at the network said.

Gadhafi Plastic Surgery

Gadhafi Plastic Surgery

It was well past midnight when the Brazilian surgeon says he was escorted deep inside a bunker in the Libyan capital.

His assignment: to shave years off Moammar Gadhafi's appearance by removing fat from his belly and injecting it into his wrinkled face. The Libyan leader also got hair plugs.

"He told me that he had been in power for 25 years at that time, and that he did not want the young people of his nation to see him as an old man," Dr. Liacyr Ribeiro recalled. "I recommended a facelift, but he refused."

The secretive four-hour procedure in 1995 was done, at Gadhafi's insistence, with local anesthesia because he wanted to remain alert. Midway through, the Libyan leader stopped to have a hamburger.

Geraldine Ferraro Dies

Geraldine Ferraro Dies

Ferraro died at Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston of a blood cancer after a 12-year illness, according to a statement from her family.

"Her courage and generosity of spirit throughout her life waging battles big and small, public and personal, will never be forgotten and will be sorely missed," the statement said.

Ferraro was an energetic and articulate three-term congresswoman with a liberal reputation when Mondale picked her from the male-dominated U.S. House of Representatives. Ferraro's presence on the Democratic ticket generated excitement on the campaign trail, particularly among women.

Yet on Election Day, Republican President Ronald Reagan and Vice President George Bush won in a landslide, carrying every state except Mondale's home state of Minnesota.

Howard Stern sues employer

Howard Stern sues employer

Radio shock jock Howard Stern, also known as the King of All Media, is suing SirusXM radio for unpaid bonuses in a new lawuit filed in New York City today. The suit alleges that SiriusXM owes Howard Stern for attracting new subscribers. However, SiriusXM claims that once they merged with XM back in 2008, that new subscribers acquired did not count toward his incentives. Howard believes that the merge between Sirius and XM was made possible simply because he was linked with Sirius in the first place.

Stern alleges the subscriber estimates on which his stock bonuses were to be based ranged from 3.7 million in 2006 to 12.1 million in 2010. According to Stern, he actually blew those estimates out of the water and Sirius today has a subscriber base of more than 20 million subscribers.
