A dog rescued off the Japanese coast floating on top of a house is on her way back to
her owner Monday.
The dog wagged its tail and jumped up to a woman described by local media as a
relative of the owner as she collected her to deliver back to her family for what
promises to be a warm reunion.
It turns out the lucky dog's name is "Ban," and she was originally living in Kessenuma
before being separated from her master after the March 11 earthquake, tsunami and
subsequent fire that swept through the coastal village.
It's not clear how the 2-year-old mixed breed Ban and her master were separated, but
Kessenuma is located in Miyagi prefecture, which was virtually wiped out by the disaster
three weeks ago.

An employee at the Miyagi Animal Care Center told CNN by phone that the owner had
been staying in a temporary relocation center in Sendai since being evacuated from
Kessenuma.
The 50-year-old man reportedly recognized Ban after footage of the brown and black
dog was shown being hugged by Japanese rescue workers while being unloaded from a
boat in Shiogama Port this past Friday.
Japanese Coast Guard teams had spotted Ban during a helicopter patrol over debris
fields nearly two kilometers off shore.
When a patrol boat got the hungry and shivering dog, they found no identification on
her other than a brown collar.
The prefectural animal center says it is still keeping more than a dozen cats and dogs
that have been found in recent weeks in hope of further happy endings like the one Ban
appears to have gotten.

Prince William has not officially proposed yet to Kate Middleton.

Still, reports indicate that we may need to prepare ourself for the Wedding of the
Century, a title that might be a lot more dramatic if this century weren't just a decade
old.

Author Nicholas Davies, who penned William: King for the 21st Century, told Star
Magazine this week:
͞William has always said he will be ready for marriage after his 28th birthday - that͛s
next month. The timing is perfect for a wedding this year.͟
What might such a ceremony include? Expensive gowns, lavish bouquets and more
jewelry than you'd find in the closet of Joan Rivers. It would be highlighted by the 18-
karat sapphire and diamond engagement ring William inherited from his late mother,
Diana.
Insiders estimate that three billion people would tune in the the wedding. That's almost
as many as have purchased the Kendra Wilkinson sex tape.

Champions League not obsession - Ancelotti

Earlier in the shootout, Chelsea captain John Terry was one kick away from winning the
match for his side, but lost his footing in the process of taking his side's fifth penalty and
hit the post.
In normal time, winger Cristiano Ronaldo had given United the lead - he would also miss
a penalty in the shoot-out - before Frank Lampard equalised for Chelsea.
This is the closest the Blues have come to satisfying billionaire owner Roman
Abramovich's quest to see Europe's premier club trophy adorn the Stamford Bridge
trophy cabinet.
Avram Grant - now West Ham boss - was in charge of the west London club for that
final, but they have since turned to two-time Champions League-winner Carlo Ancelotti
to guide them to European glory.
In the Italian's debut season in 2009/10, he led Chelsea to a Premier League and FA Cup
Double, during which his side beat United both home and away - including that 2-1
victory at Old Trafford on 3 April 2010.
However, Chelsea have faded this season after a strong start and are currently in poor
form, with Ancelotti admitting after Saturday's 1-0 home win over Wigan that they must
improve if they are to challenge United on Tuesday.
The Red Devils are on course to recapture the Premier League title this season, with a
seven-point cushion over second-placed Arsenal and a further four points in front of
Chelsea, albeit having played a game more than both.
However, Chelsea have beaten United in the league once this season - a 2-1 victory at
Stamford Bridge on 1 March.

There comes a point in life where you just grow apart and you realize you're not as
similar as you thought. - Kim Kardashian to Harper's Bazaar, regarding her friendship
with Paris Hilton.

Fortunately, any ice between these two sex tape stars officially melted on Sunday night,
as sources confirm the pair had a pleasant exchange at an Interscope Records Grammy
party.

͞Paris and Kim warmly embraced and genuinely seemed happy to see each other," a
witness told Radar Online. "Kim wished Paris a happy birthday... Paris thanked her for
the kind things she said about [her] in the Haper's Bazaar interview."

Kim and Paris were BFFs for years, of course, as the latter gave the former such vital tips
as where to best place the camera when letting your boyfriend rail you for fame and
money.

Since then, Kardashian has out Hilton-ed Hilton, taking a lack of talent to previously
unimaginable, nauseating levels.
