You Yankee haters can look on the bright side, now you don’t have to listen to Yankee fans talk about 26 world championships anymore.
An 11-year-old girl became one of the world’s youngest mothers – and went into labour on the way to her wedding.
Kordeza Zhelyazkova, from Sliven in Bulgaria, was still wearing her wedding dress and tiara as she was rushed to hospital, where she gave birth to 5lb 8oz Violeta.
Proudly displaying her baby, she told reporters: ‘I’m not going to play with toys any more – I have a new toy now.’Kordeza – who fell pregnant within two weeks of her 11th birthday – spent the night in hospital with Violeta and then headed back to church for her wedding with 19-year-old Jeliazko Dimitrov.
Kordeza told the News of the World: ‘It feels strange to be a mum and have a baby.
‘I used to play with my toys but now she is my new toy.
‘She is so beautiful, I love her. Violeta is the child and I must grow up. I am not going back to school – I am a mother now.’
The couple met when Jeliazko rescued Kordeza from bullies in the playground.
However he now faces six years in jail for having sex with a minor, telling the paper his fears when he found out Kordeza was pregnant.
He said: ‘I was really scared.
‘We didn’t plan to have sex or a baby although I fell in love with Kordeza the moment I saw her.
He added: ‘I was walking past the school when I saw some boys mocking her and I told them to leave her alone.
‘Then she arranged to meet me and asked me out on our first date. I thought she was 15. She didn’t tell me she was 11.’

Pa. woman charged with offering sex for WS tickets
The Associated Press
BENSALEM, Pa. – Police in a Philadelphia suburb they’ve arrested a woman who offered sex for World Series tickets.
Bensalem police say 43-year-old Susan Finkelstein was arrested on Tuesday.
Investigators say Finkelstein posted an ad on the Web site Craigslist that stated she was a die-hard Phillies fan and buxom blonde in desperate need of two World Series tickets.
Police say her posting went on to say the price was negotiable and that “I’m the creative type! Maybe we can help each other!”
An undercover officer responded to the ad. Police say Finkelstein offered to perform various sex acts in exchange for World Series tickets.
She is charged with prostitution and related offenses. Her listed phone number was disconnected, and it couldn’t immediately be determined if she had an attorney.
This latest one is just gross. It seems kids have found a new way to get high by inserting vodka soaked tampons into the vagina. And just so the boys won’t be left out, it works rectally as well. This is one of those awful things that no one wants to believe is possible, but read on.
If you search the Internet, you will find some dispute about whether this is a real occurrence or a rumor. Keep in mind that many vaginal medications are routinely administered via tampon, and that the unprotected membranes of the vagina and anus would allow alcohol to enter the bloodstream faster than the acid protected gastrointestinal tract. The truth is it doesn’t matter how it started, kids may try it when they hear about it.
It’s important to stay one step ahead of your kids when it comes to drugs and alcohol. Just look at all the forum activity I found by googling vodka soaked tampon.Usually when a rumor starts flying, there’s at least a little truth to it. So whatever you believe to be the truth, there’s no excuse for not at least acknowledging this might be a possibility. Remember when no one believed kids were really having all that oral sex?
Intoxication by alcohol soaked tampon is thought to be undetectable by parents and others. Kids think it prevents the smell of alcohol on the breath, but they’re wrong. Because alcohol is partially eliminated from the body through the lungs, when alcohol is in the blood, it will always be present in expired air, and therefore detectable by smell. This is how breathalyzer tests measure blood alcohol content. It has nothing to do with how the alcohol is taken in.
Another perceived benefit is that the user gets high without the stomach upset associated with drinking. While this may be true, putting ethanol into contact with the highly sensitive vaginal or rectal mucosa likely causes burning discomfort in the short term and a drying effect over the long term. This could lead to bleeding during normal functioning.
Though this may be the first you’ve heard of this unusual way to catch a buzz, Oxford University scientific journals first reported the practice in the 1990s. In 2002, the University of Bristol organized seminars “Alcohol, Education and Young People”, including a session on the practice of young females inserting tampons soaked in alcohol. Apparently it’s very popular in Europe and South America, especially Columbia.http://hubpages.com/hub/Parents-Beware-of-Vodka-Soaked-Tampons
