What we don't know, however, is which sister Alyssa is referring to, mom Karen said -- especially since she actually "worships" both of them. "Later I asked her why she said that," Karen said. "She said 'I didn't have anything else to write.'" Karen suggested the word nice. But Alyssa said the discussion a…

'We Need More Time With Him' Says Maywood Family Fighting For Rescue Dog
The Romano family of Maywood didn't know much about Buddy when they adopted him nearly 18 months ago. The vet guessed he was around nine years old and had probably been used as a bait dog.

Paramus Man Donates Kidney To Best Friend 'Now Brother'
Chris Clark and George Salameh have certainly had their share of ups and downs together. In 2003, Clark saw Salameh through his first kidney transplant from his mother. Just more than a decade later, Salameh was right by Clark's side when his wife, Patty Clark, suffered a brain aneurysm. So when Salameh's kidney began failing last spring, it only seemed natural to Clark to try to donate one of his own.

Tairi's co-defendants recently told a "jailhouse lawyer" that he never actually killed Lewis -- he was framed, NJ.com reports. Tairi's lawyers are fighting to toss the conviction and get him a new trial. Secondhand c…
