SENTENCED: North Korea sentenced U.S. reporters Euna Lee, 36, and Laura Ling, 32, to 12 years of hard labor in prison for allegedly entering the country illegally. Authorities captured the duo March 17 near the China-North Korean border where they were working on a story about human trafficking. The June 8 verdict is the latest act of defiance by the communist nation, which in May began conducting a series of nuclear and missile tests.

DETHRONED: Miss California Carrie Prejean, 21, lost her crown June 10 after California pageant officials allegedly fired her because she failed to make public appearances on behalf of the organization. Although pageant owner Donald Trump had defended the beauty queen a month ago when she faced criticism for racy photos and anti-gay marriage comments, this time he sided with pageant officials. According to Prejean's attorney Charles Limandri, however, the announcement was a shock: "It is not true that she has not been cooperating. Something is going on; the truth is not being told."
