Los Angeles (CNN) -- The estranged husband of "Real Housewives of Beverly Hills" cast member Taylor Armstrong apparently killed himself in his home, according to police and the Los Angeles county coroner's office. Russell Armstrong's lawyer said he's "100% convinced" Armstrong's role in the reality show created his depression, but he does not blame the Bravo network for his death. Investigators did not find a suicide note near the body of Armstrong, 47, who was pronounced dead at 8:16 p.m. Monday, Assistant Chief Coroner Ed Winter said Tuesday. His body was found in a Mulholland Drive home in the hills above Bel Air, California, Winter said.

(CNN) -- Sharia stood immobile in front of the television, transfixed by its images, unaware of the world around her. Her family called her name over and over again, but she did not respond. It was that moment when they knew something was wrong. Initially, they thought it was a hearing problem. When they found nothing wrong, they decided to take 2-year-old Sharia to a specialist at an early detection center in 2009. "Within five minutes of looking at Sharia, (the specialist) said that she has autism," said Sharia's father, Fawad Siddiqui. "A very clear case of it." Siddiqui, 38, and his wife, Ayza Sheikh, were under the impression that Sharia was simply a late talker. Originally from Pakistan, the Siddiquis had no relatives to advise them on their first child.

The California Republican defeated Idaho Rep.

Labrador argued for a fresh conservative voice in the GOP leadership in challenging McCarthy, who was the favorite. With the win, McCarthy moves up a notch in the leadership hierarchy from whip, where he was responsible for counting votes and enforcing party discipline. Republicans then chose Louisiana's Steve Scalise, a red-state conservative, to succeed him.

And Robben says that the pain is similar to how he felt when his club side Bayern Munich lost to Chelsea at their home ground, the Allianz Arena, in the 2012 Champions League final before claiming that trophy the following season - with the Dutchman himself scoring the winning goal.

The extent of the photoshopping was revealed by Jezebel, the women's blog owned by Gawker Media, which offered a $10,000 bounty for the unretouched pictures. The writer and star of HBO’s Girls told Slate that the controversy 'confuses me a little.' Cover girl: Dunham says she is pleased with the results of her photo-shoot with Vogue 'I understand that for people there is a contradiction between what I do and being on the cover of Vogue; but frankly I really don’t know what the photoshopping situation is, I can’t look at myself really objectively in that way,' Dunham, 27, told Slate.

Washington (CNN) -- Republican Scott Brown lost his second Senate race in two election cycles on Tuesday, as Democratic Sen. Jeanne Shaheen defeated him to win a second term, according to a CNN projection. Shaheen said late Tuesday night that Brown had called her to concede, and praised him for a "vigorous race." The race represented Republicans' best chances at picking up a Senate seat in the Northeast -- one that was vital for Democrats to protect as they faced majority-threatening challenges elsewhere. Over the summer, Brown used a series of crises to nationalize the race -- arguing that President Barack Obama and, by extension, Senate Democrats like Shaheen, are unable to govern effectively.

(EW.com) -- I've lost count, but "After Earth" seems like it must be the fourth post-apocalyptic thriller this month. The movie teams Will Smith and his son, Jaden Smith, and it was directed by M. Night Shyamalan, the former maestro-huckster of the twist ending. But Shyamalan's star has fallen, and he has become a glorified gun for hire. The movie takes off from a concept as basic as a videogame, and it sticks to that concept, without surprise. In the dystopian future, the human race has been forced to abandon a toxic earth overrun by snappy-jawed monsters that look like they came out of a Starship Troopers sequel. Will Smith plays Cypher, a military Ranger famous for his total absence of fear (that's why he's invincible to the monsters, who stalk their prey by smelling fear), and Jaden plays his upstart Ranger-cadet son, Kitai, who is traveling with him on an interplanetary mission. When an asteroid storm forces the ship to crash-land on earth, Cypher is badly injured, and it's up to Kitai to travel a hundred kilometers on foot, all to retrieve a homing beacon. But his father, who can see what Kitai sees through a digital transmission, talks to him as if he were a videogame avatar, guiding the kid through his trek to manhood.

Iran has denied inspectors from the United Nations' nuclear watchdog access to a key military site - ratcheting up tensions between Tehran and the West and effectively ending a working dialogue. International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) inspectors were turned away from a base in Parchin, south east of the capital, where intelligence suggests nuclear weapons could be in development. It led to the UN declaring a two-day meeting, intended to calm fears over the Islamic Republic's disputed nuclear programme, to be a 'failure'. And it said talks with Iran are now unlikely to be re-started - as the West continues to step up sanctions against the major oil producer.

It's the home of Al Shabab, pirates and a civil war that has ground on for almost three decades but for some intrepid tourists, Somalia, or to be specific, the breakaway region of Somaliland, has become the perfect place for a holiday. And as these incredible images taken by French photographer Eric Lafforgue reveal, there's no shortage of things to do - whether you're in the market for a spot of culture or fancy a day on one of the country's spectacular Indian Ocean beaches. 'To most people, Somalia and Somaliland are one and the same,' explains Constantine Savvides who travelled to the region with Lafforgue. 'Hardly anyone speaks of its struggle for independence and desire to disassociate itself from the violent turmoil afflicting the rest of the country.'

(CNN) -- Authorities have obtained an arrest warrant for Jesse Matthew, charging him with abduction with the intent to defile, in the case of missing University of Virginia student Hannah Graham, Charlottesville Police Chief Timothy Longo told reporters Tuesday. Police believe Matthew was the last person with Graham before her disappearance. She was last seen September 13 in an area of Charlottesville known as the downtown mall. The Charlottesville Police Department is circulating a wanted poster for the 32-year-old Matthew, who is also wanted for two counts of reckless driving. He is described as an African-American man, standing 6 feet, 2 inches tall, and weighing 270 pounds. He is known to have contacts in Maryland, New York, Pennsylvania, Virginia and Washington, D.C.

By Paul Donnelley Barcelona defender Dani Alves has received support from Premier League players including Sergio Aguero, David Luiz, Oscar, Willian, Nacer Chadli and Moussa Dembele following his reaction to a banana being thrown in his direction by a Villarreal supporter during a La Liga game on Sunday. The Brazil international picked up the banana and took a bite before playing a key role as Barca fought back from 2-0 down to win 3-2 to keep their hopes of retaining the Primera Division alive. Following the game Alves was backed by team-mate Neymar who posted a picture of himself with a banana alongside the hashtag 'We are all monkeys', while his girlfriend Thaissa Carvalho also took a photo of herself among a group of friends eating bananas.

(CNN) -- Federal authorities raided the office of a University of Florida professor on Wednesday who, along with his wife, is suspected of defrauding NASA. The FBI searched the school's Innovative Nuclear Space Power and Propulsion Institute, founded by Samim Anghaie, and his office on campus, said university spokesman Steve Orlando. Anghaie is a professor of radiological engineering. FBI spokesman Jeff Westcott would only confirm the searches on campus, referring all questions to the U.S. attorney's office. Calls to the U.S. attorney's office were not returned Wednesday. According to an affidavit filed February 19, investigators from the FBI and NASA said that since 1999, the government has awarded 13 contracts to the couple's company, New Era Technology Inc. (NETECH), and deposited $3.4 million into the company's corporate account. Investigators allege they diverted much of the money from the corporate account into personal accounts to buy cars and property.

I wish that, too, was satire, but King went on in the March 3 interview with a TV station in Des Moines to explain that characteristics that aren't "specifically protected in the Constitution" must be "immutable," meaning "a characteristic that can be independently verified and can't be willfully changed."

If times are difficult, he could be a liability. His best spell at City came during a run in 2011 when they were on a nine-game winning streak which included their 6-1 victory at Old Trafford.

In the intervening two years, she'd read a lot about concerns that vaccines cause autism and decided to ask her pediatrician to give her new baby fewer shots spread out over a longer period of time.

Islamabad, Pakistan (CNN) -- The Pakistani Supreme Court is investigating allegations that a tribal council in a restive province ordered that about a dozen girls aged between 4 and 16 be handed over from one tribe to another to settle a feud, a provincial official said Tuesday. The girls are at risk because under "vani," the tradition invoked by the council to resolve the dispute, they will be forced to marry members of the tribe to which they are given. Vani is illegal under Pakistani law. Following local news reports on the tribal council's decision, the Supreme Court has requested that the provincial authorities present the 13 girls and their parents Wednesday at its building in Quetta, the capital of Balochistan, said Babar Yaqoub, the chief secretary of the province.

Former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush once tangled with a Miami Herald reporter over media coverage of his daughter Noelle's drug-related legal troubles, complaining in an email that 'I wish the media would leave my daughter alone.' Noelle was arrested in 2002 at age 25 for prescription drug fraud, stealing pills at a rehab clinic, and possession of crack cocaine. A feeding frenzy of Florida journalists scrambled to report on every angle of the story, including links between a judge overseeing her rehab progress and a charity that received state government money. The implication was that Noelle, who spent less than two weeks in jail overall, received special treatment because her judge appreciated the grants – $900,000 in all – made to the charity on whose board he had sat.

Sentenced: Former NFL star Sam Hurd was sentenced to 15 years in jail on Wednesday for buying large amounts of illegal drugs Disgraced former Chicago Bears player Sam Hurd was yesterday sentenced to 15 years in prison for his role in starting a drug-distribution scheme that ended his football career and left his future in tatters. Hurd, 28, received the punishment in a federal courtroom in Dallas after pleading guilty in April to one count of trying to buy and distribute large amounts of cocaine and marijuana. The charge carried a minimum 10-year sentence and a maximum of life. Authorities say that while NFL teammates and friends knew him as a hardworking wide receiver and married father, Hurd was fashioning a separate identity as a wannabe drug kingpin with a focus on 'high-end deals' and a need for large amounts of drugs.

(CNN) -- The Lunar New Year gallops ever closer and with it the world's largest human migration. The Year of the Horse will stretch China's transport system to its limit. Officials are expecting people to go on 3.62 billion journeys -- 200 million more than last year. China's state-run news agency Xinhua says 42 million of those trips will be by air, as more cash-rich mainlanders turn their backs on the traditional extended family reunion to celebrate the most important festival of the year abroad. They're part of a sharp, upward trend in globetrotting. The Chinese travel and spend more than anyone else on the planet. They shelled out $102 billion on 83 million trips in 2012, according to the United Nations; and they'll continue to dominate the market.

Cherie and Euan Blair bought the flats in Manchester for £650,000 Cherie Blair has dramatically expanded her family’s property empire by buying a block of flats. The ten apartments in Manchester take the Blairs’ portfolio to 18 homes. However, Mrs Blair is trying to sell the remaining flat from the notorious ‘Cheriegate’ scandal in 2002, when she bought two properties in Bristol with the help of a convicted fraudster. She has already slashed the asking price of that two-bedroom apartment, which has barely risen in value in 12 years. But the ten flats in Manchester seem a more promising investment, even though they come complete with a stinking rubbish dump at the back – and one of the residents is a Tory activist.

Washington (CNN) -- Ian Murphy, the online news website editor who duped Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker into taking a prank call by posing as a billionaire conservative activist, told CNN Thursday that Walker is a "delusional" politician seeking to help wealthy GOP backers. Murphy, editor of the news website "Buffalo Beast," posed as business tycoon David Koch while placing a call to Walker's office. He was able to secure a candid 20-minute conversation with the governor. In a transcript of the conversation on the website, Walker discusses the idea of bringing 14 Democratic state senators -- who left the state to prevent a quorum for discussing the budget bill -- back to the assembly to "talk, not negotiate," allow them to recess, and then have the 19 Republican senators declare a quorum.

It's the most common cancer in children. His mother says his condition has improved so much following treatment with medical marijuana that chemotherapy isn't needed. But the Children's Hospital of Colorado, she says, disagreed. It all started back in September 2012. Landon, then 2, was living with his mother, Sierra Riddle, in St. George, Utah, when he developed a sore throat and swollen lymph nodes. The emergency room doctor said it was a virus and sent him home.
