Boy 'Locked In Closet For Years' Blames Mum

A US mother has been arrested after her 14-year-old son said he was held prisoner for four and a half years - spending most of his time locked in a wardrobe.

A security guard called police in Oklahoma City after the malnourished teenager turned up with numerous marks and other signs of abuse.
"He was hungry. He was dirty. He had numerous scars on his body. It was very sad," Police Sergeant Gary Knight said.
The boy was taken to a hospital to be examined and then put in the custody of the Department of Human Services.
Police arrested the boy's mother, LaRhonda Marie McCall, 37, and a friend, 38-year-old Steve Vern Hamilton, over child abuse and neglect allegations.
Formal charges have not been filed but both were being held on a £250,000 bond, according to jail records.
A police report listed McCall as a pharmaceutical company employee and Hamilton as a cab driver.
The boy, wearing only a pair of oversized shorts held up by a belt, walked up to the security guard on Friday.
He asked where a police station was located so he could report being abused, according to a police report.
The boy claimed scars on his stomach were from where alcohol had been poured on him and set alight. Other scars were from being tied up, hit with an extension cord and choked, he added.
"He had scars covering most of his body. They were basically from head to foot," Sgt Knight said.
The teenager said he moved to the Oklahoma City area from New Jersey about four and a half years ago, after his mother was released from jail.
But, since arriving in Oklahoma state, he had never been to school and spent most of his time locked in a bedroom wardrobe, he said.
The boy told police the wardrobe's door was mostly blocked with a stepladder or a bed and that he managed to push it open enough to escape and leave the house.

Madonna Wasn't Sexy Enough for Michael Jackson

Actress Elizabeth Taylor

Michael Jackson once claimed he turned down Madonna's romantic advances because he didn't think she was "sexy." In a 2001 interview with his friend Rabbi Shmuley Boteach, Michael said: I think she was sincerely in love with me and I was not in love with her. I think she likes shock value and she knows how to push buttons on people.She did a lot of crazy things. I knew we had nothing in common. She is not sexy at all. I think being sexy comes from the heart in the way you present yourself. As well as being convinced Madonna was attracted to him, Michael also thought the "Vogue" star was jealous of his career. He explained: "They admire you and know you are wonderful and great because they are jealous, because they wish they were in your shoes. Madonna is one of them. She is jealous. She is a girl, a woman and I think that's what bothers her. I think women don't scream for other women. Men are too cool to scream for women. I get the fainting and adulation and she doesn't." Michael and Elizabeth Taylor back in the day (via PopVine)The "Thriller" singer also admitted he considered dating his long-time friend Elizabeth Taylor, even though she was 25 years older than him. However, he decided against pursuing his feelings for fear of being publicly humiliated. He said: "I know that if we ever did anything romantically the press would be so mean and nasty and call us The Odd Couple. It would turn into a circus and that's the pain of it all."The interviews have now been published as a new book called The Michael Jackson Tapes: A Tragic Icon Reveals His Soul In Intimate Conversation

Shakira’s Fiance Wants Her to Wear More Clothes

Antonio de la Rua was a little apprehensive watching his wife-to-be shake it in a cage for her new music video.

Shakira's known for her sexy dance moves (her hips don't lie!) and in her new music video for "She Wolf," she shakes it provocatively in a cage wearing a skimpy outfit. One person who wasn't crazy about her lack of coverage was fiance Antonio de la Rua. She said: “He was with me when I filmed the video and he just said to me, ‘Are you going to put on a scarf?’ as he thought I might get cold! And I did! After that video every muscle in my body was aching.” Antonio and Shakira. In the video, Shakira shows off her belly dancing skills and revealed she taught herself all the moves from a very young age. The 32-year-old beauty added to BBC Radio 1: “I’m not a trained dancer, I’m self-taught and I started at the age of four. At school every Friday I used to perform the same belly dancing routine and I loved it. It gave me my passion for dancing and it’s something I love.”
