Such a horrible story!

A 21-month-old baby girl was shot in the face this week when she was caught in the middle of crossfire in Staten Island.

Samyah Bailey was sitting in her stroller when "a heated argument broke out between two men." A shot was fired, which hit the poor little girl in her head "setting off panic in the courtyard."

Family friend Indigo Williams grabbed Samyah. The friend said:

"I didn't even think - it was just reaction. I ran to get the baby. I saw the baby there by herself… he was still shooting."

Luckily, she's expected to make a "near complete recovery." She unfortunately lost an eye from the incident, but doctors said it was "kind of a miracle."

Police were able to catch the 19-year-old suspect Damark King, who is accused of shooting her.

During his court hearing, a crowd jeered him as he left his arraignment. A woman yelled:

"Hang yourself with a sheet, b**ch!"

The saddest part is that Samyah's family knew King personally and even gave him a ride home just two weeks earlier.

And this wasn't even his first shooting. He was on parole after serving four years in prison for shooting a teen twice in the chest. He was just released this past January.

Unbelievable. This man clearly needs to be behind bars - and for a very, very long time. We are just so happy that Samyah is alive and is recovering well. Stay strong, little girl! A lot of people are waiting to see you when you get out.

Poor dear. Thankfully, she's going to be alright.

Former Bachelorette Ali Fedotowsky unfortunately had to officially postpone her wedding this past weekend as she is recovering from an injury to her femur. The poor thing underwent surgery for the it back in July, but she just isn't strong enough yet to walk on it.

Making the announcement yesterday, she conceded that there were some tears, but in the end, she knows she is making the right decision. She explained:

Sean Kingston's mother has reached out to Jonathan Rivera, the off-duty Coast Guard officer who saved her son from drowning after his jet ski accident in Miami, and personally thanked him.

She could not express her gratitude enough and assured him Sean will thank him in person when he's feeling better.

Rivera was out boating with his friends when he arrived at the site of Kingston's crashed jet ski. After hearing people yelling that the victim was drowning, he dove in the water and pulled up the submerged singer out of the water.

The courageous Coast Guardsman then held Kingston above water, while talking to the female rider clinging onto the jet ski, until emergency services arrived.

In a statement, Jonathan Rivera said:

"I'm not worried about anything but him getting better. I'm glad he is recovering and that's all that matters."

Spoken like a true hero and a fine example of a class act. Thank you for your quick and decisive display of bravery that saved this young man's life!

We are so happy to see how well she's been recovering!

Last week, we learned through Demi Lovato's most recent column in Seventeen Magazine that she's back in the studio and has A LOT of new music on the way!

Now, we're getting a new glimpse of our gurl taken on Saturday night in Hollywood (above), and we think she's looking great!

We can't express enough how happy we are to see Demi getting back on track so strongly and quickly!

We're very proud, and as we said before, we're pumped to hear the new music!

Send a demo our way, Demi! We'd LOVE to hear!

Aww!

Prince William visited New Zealand recently to give support to the earthquake-damaged seaside town of Sumner.

We're willing to bet that their spirits were lifted by his visit!

From the look of the pictures, everyone was so happy to see him, and he always has a rather casual and empathetic demeanor about him!

NZ, you're still in our thoughts too, and the same with Haiti and any other tragedy that has happened where people are still recovering!

Our head hurts thinking about this…

Check out the video (above) of a man who had a 4 inch rusty blade stuck in his head for years!

Guess they were able to remove it successfully, because he's currently in the hospital, recovering.

We're glad to hear he's all right, but now every time we have a bad headache, we'll be thinking about this.

We'd know it if we had a 4 inch rusty blade in our head, right?

…RIGHT???

Sad sad sad.

We were happy to report earlier that the lost Superman producer Ilya Salkind had been found in Mexico, but in a hospital and was getting treatment.

It seems like we have part of the reason why he's in there.

According to sources, and his daughter, Anastasia Salkin, Ilya had been brutally attacked and is now recovering in a Mexican hospital.

She even believes he had been kidnapped, which hasn't been verified by Mexican authorities.

So terrible.

At least you're safe now, bb, and we hope you get better fast!
