Is Jennifer Lopez out of `Idol'?





















Sources close to Jennifer Lopez tell People.com that the actress-singer won't be a judge on American Idol after all. ``Her demands got out of hand,'' said the source. ``Fox had just had enough.'' Lopez and Aerosmith frontman Steven Tyler were rumored to replace Simon Cowell and Ellen DeGeneres.

Report: 8 percent of US newborns have undocumented parents


One of about every 12 babies born in the United States in 2008 was the offspring of unauthorized immigrants, a Pew Hispanic Center study released Wednesday concluded.
According to the study, an estimated 340,000 of the 4.3 million babies born in this country that year had parents who were in the United States without legal documentation.
The 14th Amendment to the Constitution stipulates that those children automatically become U.S. citizens, but some members of Congress are pushing to change that provision. That effort -- rooted in the debate over illegal immigration, particularly of people from Mexico -- has created some controversy. Culled from CNN
