Stricken Chinese cruise ship lifted from Yangtze River; 331 bodies recovered

The Eastern Star is upright once again, looking almost normal with its bottom resting on the water and its deck and cabins clear above it.

The ship's positioning Friday was a step forward in the dayslong nightmare playing out on a section of the Yangtze River that flows through Hubei province. It means answers should be easier to come by as to why the Eastern Star capsized Monday night and what can be done to prevent similar tragedies in the future.

JLo being sued for shaking her bumbum on Moroccan TV (photos)

Jennifer Lopez is being sued by an education group in Morocco for 'disturbing public order and tarnishing women's honour and respect'. Lol. What did JLo do in particular? She shook her legendary butt during a performance on stage in Morocco on May 29th and it was broadcast on public TV.

The group said JLo's costume was too skimpy and inappropriate, the dancing was too sexy, and she and her dancers were shaking their ass on TV. They said all that was too immoral to be shown on TV and now are suing JLo and the promoter of the concert. This is actually sort-of a crime in Morocco, 'disturbing public order'. If found guilty, JLo faces up 1 month to 2 years in prison. Lol. But I'm sure no Moroccan court will bother with this case
