>Two reporters at the White House Correspondents’ Association dinner — one with the Huffington Post, the other from Fox News — clashed in an all-out fight early Sunday, bringing some brutality to the swanky event known among media folk as “nerd prom.”

>The real-life “Anchorman” fight between HuffPo Washington bureau chief Ryan Grim and Fox News personality Jesse Watters erupted at an MSNBC afterparty. Naturally, at least one fellow journo captured the conflict and posted a picture of it on Twitter.

> Grim told the Daily News he started the confrontation when he approached Watters, phone in hand. Watters is best known for his ambush-style interviews — including one for former Think Progress managing editor Amanda Terkel, who wrote an essay calling the experience harassment. Terkel is now at the Huffington Post.

>Grim said he wanted to give Watters a taste of his own medicine.

> “I approached him with my phone filming, and I said, 'Hey, I have Amanda Terkel over here. Do you want to apologize for ambushing her years ago?'” Grim told the News in a phone call.

>“He wouldn’t walk the five feet over to apologize to her.”

>Watters tried snatching the phone, Grim said, and the HuffPo reporter had to snatch it back. Nearby reporters broke up the battle within moments.

WILMINGTON, NC (WECT) - A Wilmington couple is facing criminal charges after a woman showed a gun at a local restaurant over a wrong order of chicken wings.

Clarissa Gagum, 24, and her husband, Rasheem Gagum, 24, were both arrested Thursday after Clarissa became upset that her order of chicken wings was wrong and pulled out a gun inside the restaurant.

According to officials, the incident happened at the FU Wangz located in the 2100 block of Carolina Beach Road.

Linda Rawley, spokesperson for the WPD, said Clarissa walked into the restaurant and ordered bone-in chicken wings, but received boneless wings.

Clarissa reportedly began to argue with the clerk, then grabbed a gun from her car and went back inside the restaurant waving it around.

Police were called to the scene and found Clarissa on the sidewalk outside the restaurant still holding the gun.

Clarissa was charged with two counts of assault by pointing a gun and injury to personal property and was being held under a $30,000 bond.

Rasheem was charged with resisting arrest and was under a $500 bond.

Both bonded out around 9 p.m. Thursday evening.

Restaurant officials declined an interview request.

In a shocking move likely to crush the US economy overnight, China is refusing to make its new gold-backed Yuan, convertible from or to US Dollars. The new Yuan will be introduced next Tuesday, April 19.

When the International Monetary Fund (IMF) agreed to add the Yuan to the basket of world currencies used for Global Reserves and International Trade, they wanted China to make the Yuan more reliable as a currency. Since then, China has almost un-pegged its Yuan from the Dollar, allowing its value to fluctuate on world markets.

But for years, China has been amassing huge amounts of gold bullion; some have said their appetite for bullion has been “staggering.” And with a new gold-backed Yuan to be issued next Tuesday, the entire world will have a choice of a new currency to use for international trade: The old US Dollar which is backed by nothing, or the new Chinese Yuan, which is backed by gold. Which currency would YOU use?

When this new currency is issued, countries that have been forced to use US Dollars for decades, and have had to keep billions of dollars in their foreign currency reserves, will be free to dump those dollars. But they won’t be able to dump them to China for the new gold-backed, Yuan!

China has reportedly decided ”there can be no conversion of gold-backed Yuan to or from US dollars.” What China fears is that many countries around the world will want to trade their reserve US dollars for the new Yuan, leaving China with mountains of worthless US dollars. China already has several trillion in US dollar reserves and does not want or need more.

If news of this decision by China is correct, then countries around the world may just have to decide whether or not they wish to continue trading with the USA at all?

The upheaval this could cause as early as next week, would be staggering.

This is a fast-developing story; check back.

A New Jersey woman who set her newborn on fire and left her in the middle of a street was sentenced Friday to 30 years in prison.

Hyphernkemberly Dorvilier pleaded guilty in February to aggravated manslaughter and prosecutors recommended the sentence.

The 23-year-old Pemberton Township woman doused her newborn with accelerant and set her on fire in January 2015, investigators said. The baby had third-degree burns over 60 percent of her body and died two hours after she was flown to a Philadelphia hospital.

"I was on a downward spiral. I believe I hit my rock bottom," Dorvilier, handcuffed and shackled, said in court Friday. "I apologize first and foremost for not giving my daughter, Angelica, the life she deserved. She deserved so much better."

Prosecutors say she hid her pregnancy from her mother and sister. Investigators say the baby was found with her umbilical cord and placenta attached.

Police responded to a call about a fire on a road in the township, 30 miles east of Philadelphia. When they arrived, they found a neighbor holding Dorvilier down on the ground and the baby wrapped in a smoldering towel and paper, according to the court documents.

Dorvilier was found with a can of WD-40 and a lighter in her jacket pocket, investigators said.

Dorvilier's sister, Dejennie, pleaded with Judge Terrence Cook for leniency, saying that Dorvilier needs help. But the judge said the punishment was "the sentence that justice requires."

"The crime in this case was committed against the weakest of the weak, a helpless newborn," Cook said. "All she knew was the extreme excruciating pain of being set on fire by her mother, the person who was supposed to love and protect her."

An autopsy found the baby died from smoke inhalation and burns.

An Arizona man arrested yesterday on child porn charges told police that he first became interested in illicit images of children following the arrest of Jared Fogle, the disgraced former Subway spokesman.

Marc Rico Miller, who lives at a nudist colony 35 miles north of Phoenix, was charged yesterday with 10 counts of sexual exploitation of a minor. According to investigators, Miller, 43, was “responsible for downloading, possessing, and sharing” hundreds of illegal photos via a peer-to-peer network.

Miller is being held in the Maricopa County jail on the felony raps.

Detectives yesterday executed a search warrant at the New River home Miller shares with his wife. The residence is on a lot at Shangrila Ranch, which bills itself as “Arizona’s premier clothing optional resort.”

When confronted by detectives, Miller reportedly confessed to downloading child pornography and “claimed that he became interested after seeing Jared, the spokesperson from Subway, get arrested,” cops noted.

Miller, investigators reported, said that he decided to “research” child pornography himself. However, he “could not stop” and “admitted to masturbating while viewing the images and videos of children involved in sex acts.” Detectives noted that, “At this time there are no known personal hands on child offenses” committed by Miller.

According to his Facebook page, Miller is an Army veteran who works at Grand Canyon University, a private Christian school in Phoenix. His Facebook likes include a Who’s Who of Fox News figures and Republican officials, the Shangrila Ranch, and Maricopa County Sheriff Joseph Arpaio (whose investigators busted Miller).

Fogle, 38, pleaded guilty to paying minors for sex and knowingly receiving illicit photos and videos of children. The former Subway pitchman was sentenced in November to nearly 16 years in federal custody, a term that has gotten off to a rocky start.

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has said the return of the children is a priority for his government.

After he left Europe, Saren Azer took the children to a village in Kurdistan in Iraq, just kilometres away from ongoing fighting. It is unclear when he took the children to live in Iran.

Alison Azer said she has received emails from residents in Mahabad, informing her the children have been seen in public and that they are under the care of her former husband’s mother, Aysheh Pendareh, and two of his sisters, Shahla Mahmudi-Azer and Maheen Mahmudi-Azer.

“Saren is trying to integrate into Iranian society,” Alison said.

the two separated more than three years ago after Saren talked about moving the family to the Middle East and having the children accompany him to war zones. Alison said he also became increasingly strident in his views regarding Islam.

Saren Azer was legally permitted to leave Canada with the children on a trip to Europe. But when he didn’t return, the courts granted full custody of the children to Alison and the warrant was issued for his arrest.

Sheriff Chris Nocco says a man accused of killing a Maine tourist had sex with the woman's corpse.

The body of 52-year-old Judith Therianos of Maine was found in a wooded area near 6633 U.S. Highway 19 on April 7.

Therianos had not been seen since March 14.

Timothy Johnson, 25, is now facing premeditated murder charges.

According to the Sheriff, Johnson and Therianos met outside of a liquor store, purchased alcohol together and then made there way to the wooded area.

At some point, they began engaging in sexual intercourse and deputies believe during that time, Therianos likely told Johnson to stop and Johnson refused.

Deputies say Therianos was killed either during sex or immediately after. Cause of death has been determined as homicidal violence, an arrest affidavit states.

According to an arrest affidavit, Johnson stole a credit card from Therianos and went to Waffle House and ate. Deputies say he returned and had sex with the decomposing corpse.

"This is sick individual," said Nocco.

Deputies say the woman's body was posed with her breasts and genitals exposed.

>It's the ancient equivalent of "don't worry, be happy."

>Turkish archaeologists have unearthed a 2,400-year-old mosaic that features a laid-back skeleton, reclining with a cup next to a bottle of wine and loaf of bread, surrounded by the wise words: "Be cheerful, enjoy your life," according to Turkey's Anadolu news agency.

>Turkish media said that the image, which dates to the third century B.C., was discovered in 2012 during construction of a cable car in Antakya. The area was further excavated to look for additional artifacts.

>Archaeologist Demet Kara says that the carefree fellow likely appeared in the dining room of a wealthy family's villa in the ancient Greek-Roman city of Antioch, known as an early center of Christianity, and possibly the place where followers of Jesus Christ were first called Christians.

>She said that the mosaic was a unique finding for Turkey.

>"There is a similar mosaic in Italy, but this one is much more comprehensive. It is important for the fact that it dates back to the 3rd century (B.C.)," she is quoted as saying in local media.

>Its blissed-out message is a far cry from the "memento mori" -- stark reminders of the transience of life, symbolized by images of skulls and other grim reminders of mortality -- that populated medieval Europe.

>Rather, it seems to echo the "Cleopatra Ode" of Roman poet Horace, "Nunc est bibendum" -- now is the time for drinking.
