Danish woman charged with $25 million embezzlement

(AP) ? A former airport catering company manager has been charged with embezzlement and forgery worth 138 million kroner ($24.5 million).

Prosecutor for economic crimes Jens Madsen says Amanda Nyholm Jacobsen spent the money on an expensive house in Denmark, cars, watches, jewelry, art and private trips during 2008-2011.

Madsen on Tuesday called it "an unusual case because of the large sum of money."

Nyholm Jacobsen, former head of Gate Gourmet in Copenhagen, earlier confessed fraud worth 120 million kroner ($21.3 million).

The case is also being investigated in Switzerland because Nyholm Jacobsen has claimed another senior Gate Gourmet manager profited from the embezzlement, Madsen said.

No trial date has been set.

Three types of high school relationships |

By Megan Bartlett & Mary Husser
staff writers

Only three percent of high school relationships actually last into college. Even less high school sweethearts actually marry. Even less stay together until their death bed. So why put in the effort now? Why do couples try, and what even classifies as a ?good? relationship? What makes it worth it for couples if statistics say that they will most likely break up?

For most, high school is a period of time meant for experimentation and sharing laughter and memories. Adults look back on these years and recall the best time of their lives. Having someone there with you through thick and thin feels good. It?s nice to have your partner to talk to when you fail a test, or have to take on struggles. As hard as it may be for some to admit, the feeling of having someone to lean on is one of extreme comfort.

There are three distinct types of relationships that rarely work.

The first typically consists of two partners tied together simply because they want to be in a relationship with anything that moves, not caring about the person they are dating. Zero percent of these ?relationships? survive after the rush of being with someone dies down.

The second reason a relationship may not last, although unintentional, is a partner using their significant other to make themselves feel better and give themselves a sense of satisfaction/reassurance.

An example of this takes the form of ?I love you.? This overused term takes a beating and is used when it really shouldn?t. When a significant other hears ?I love you,? for the first time, their partner may not necessarily believe it, but feel a sense of appreciation and self-worth that is not always sincere. They may utter those words back to their partner without giving them a second thought. This is a real issue.

The third reason for a relationship failure comes from the difficulty of achieving a level of trust with your partner that is equivalent to the loving relationship two family members share. Achieving this level of trust and ability to sacrifice everything for your partner is something rare. The problem is the second one may realize that the feelings they have for their lover can?t reach this level. It?s sad.

Another issue about high school relationships: high schoolers will be high schoolers. Your partner may be into things you aren?t, especially for the purpose of recreational use (i.e. smoking or drinking with friends) and as difficult as it may be to hear, attempting to make them change their habits may only push them away. This may have something to do with the fact that a friend will be around for years, while boyfriends and girlfriends easily come and go. In the mindset of the smoker/drinker, it may be unfair to try to permanently change their ways. The balance between what is acceptable to talk to your partner about and attempt to change and what should not be influenced is narrow and a real struggle to produce.

A high school relationship should be taken seriously and both partners should put as much effort into it as possible, show genuine care and concern and look after each other. Keeping in mind that most relationships end is important, but should not get in the way of a good one. If two people will last out of high school, it can be easy to tell. Enjoy the now and enjoy it as much as possible.

Rihanna Reveals 'Boob' Envy In 'MTV First: Battleship'

Pop-star-turned-actress and her 'Battleship' co-stars premiere exclusive clip tonight at 7:56 p.m. on MTV, followed by a 30-minute interview on MTV.com.

If there is a downside to what I do (talk to very talented, beautiful people), it's that sometimes you're sitting in between Rihanna, Brooklyn Decker, Taylor Kitsch and Alexander Skarsgård and you realize, wow, I must look like Golem next to them. But let's not harp on my insecurities. Let's instead focus on that genetically blessed quartet who star in the new film "Battleship," opening May 18. I'm pleased to report that they're a great bunch and absurdly entertaining to talk to.

You can catch my full interview with the gang on MTV.com following the premiere of an exclusive action scene from the film during "MTV First: Battleship" tonight beginning at 7:56 p.m. on MTV. Having already seen "Battleship," I can tell you this clip really captures the mayhem in this blockbuster.

Anyway, what did I learn in my chat with this group? Well, no matter how freakishly gorgeous you might be, the grass is always greener on the other side. Rihanna revealed she'd like Brooklyn's boobs (her words, not mine), and Brooklyn retorted that she's envious of Rihanna's um ... well, her ass. As I said at the time, this was the best debate ever.

Movies don't come much bigger than "Battleship." Clearly if you have a "Transformers" itch for spectacle, this is the summer for you. But if there's a side story worth talking about amid the 'splosions, clearly it's Rihanna. I spent a good portion of the sit-down with the cast talking to the pop-star-turned-actor and was duly impressed. Humble, self-effacing and quick to joke, count me in the Rihanna fan club from here on out. She's got the right attitude and knows she has plenty to prove as she makes the move into acting ("Battleship" is her debut).

And if you're not rooting for Taylor Kitsch, you are hereby my enemy. "John Carter" took a lot of knocks (most undeserved in my opinion), but this guy takes his gigs seriously (even if the films don't look all that serious) from a distance.

I know what you're thinking. They're all gorgeous and awesome? Annoying, right?

Taylor Kitsch, Alexander Skarsgård, Rihanna and Brooklyn Decker will hit MTV's airwaves Monday, April 30, at 7:56 p.m. ET to premiere the exclusive clip, after which they will stick around for a meaty 30 minutes of Q&A on MTV.com.

Check out everything we've got on "Battleship."

Katie Price: Engaged to Leandro Penna!


Leandro Penna is set to marry Katie Price.

The voluptuous UK model, who only recently got divorced from Alex Reid, after getting divorced by Peter Andre not long before that, showed off her huge, sparkly, pink, heart-shaped diamond engagement ring this week.

Last night, she tweeted: "Wooo hooo so excited." Woo.

Katie Price, Leandro Penna

Katie's spokesman confirmed the engagement, telling The Sun: "It's true, they are engaged. Leandro proposed to Katie while they were away skiing recently and she said yes. They told her children but intended to keep it secret for a while."

"They are both very happy. No wedding arrangements have been made and they are both relaxed about that for the time being."

Katie Price and Leandro Penna, a model from Argentina, first met at Elton John's Oscars party last year. The mother of three has certainly been through a roller coaster in the romance department. Let's hope the third time's the charm?

Ask AC: HTC One S voice mail notification issue

HTC One S

Ingram1225 asks in the HTC One S forums,

Anyone have voice mail notification issues? Like always saying you have voice mail? Seems to be a rampant HTC issue with all their phones.

I did listen to all my voicemails... even deleted the saved ones. My One S keeps notifying me that I have a new voicemail... and when I check there are no new voicemails.

As Ingram1225 mentioned, this is a quirk on a lot of HTC Android phones, and not particular to the One S. When you activate or put your SIM in a new HTC Sense phone, sometimes you get a voice mail notification. It happens seemingly at random, and nobody is 100-percent sure how to prevent it. Good thing it's easy to fix!

Grab another phone, it could be a landline, another cell phone, or even a call from Google Talk, and call your number. Don't answer it, you need to let it go to voicemail. When it does, leave a message. Now go back to your phone with the stuck voice mail notification. You should now have two voice mails showing, the "stuck" one and the real one you just left. Call your voice mail service from your HTC Sense phone, and listen to and delete the new message. That should fix your problem, and you're good to go until you get another new HTC phone.

Ellen Reads From Fifty Shades of Grey, is Mortified


The erotic novel Fifty Shades of Grey is creating major buzz lately after the movie rights were optioned, sparking speculation over who will play its sexy leads.

Its content is so racy - often described as "mommy porn" - that it's hard to imagine Fifty Shades on film ... or even as an audiobook. Especially after this.

If you've read it, you know how awkward it would be to read some of the salacious scenes aloud. Which is why Ellen DeGeneres decided to demonstrate this.

The premise of this hilarious skit is that Ellen was asked to record the audiobook version of EL James' work. It starts out in familiar territory, but after that ...

Several big names, including Ian Somerhalder, have been rumored for the film, which has not yet cast leads for what will undoubtedly be highly sought-after roles.
