Woman finds man standing over her bed hours after he groped her outside
ASTORIA, Queens — A Queens woman woke up in the middle of the night to a man standing over her bed, hours after he groped her outside of her apartment building, according to police.
The 26-year-old woman told police that she was approached by a man near 24th Street and 23rd Avenue in Queens at approximately 2:50 a.m. Saturday.
The man, believed to be about 30 years old, told the woman that he was in a bike accident and asked for medical assistance. During their interaction, they say the man touched her breasts before fleeing from the scene. The woman entered her apartment building, which was near by.
Less than two hours later, at around 4:30 a.m., police say she awoke in her bedroom to find the man in her room standing over her.
The woman screamed, and the man left through the second floor window. Nothing was stolen and no injuries were reported.
Police say the man is about 5 feet 8 inches tall and weighs 180 pounds, has close-cut, short, dark hair, and was last seen wearing a black t-shirt.

107-Year-Old Woman Says Secret To Her Longevity Is ‘I Never Got Married’
A Bronx woman celebrating her 107th birthday says the secret to her long life is staying single.
“I think the secret of 107 [is] I never got married,” Louise Signore told CBS New York. “I think that’s the secret. My sister says ‘I wish I never got married.'”
Her sister is also alive and well—and 102.
Signore celebrated her special birthday at the JASA Bartow Senior Center in Co-op City, complete with balloons, cake, music and presents.
She was born in Harlem in 1912 but has lived in the Bronx since moving there at age 14. Signore still lives alone and independently, but stays active and is well-connected with the community, according to other partygoers.
“She’s got no walking cane, no wheelchair. She does all her shopping. She’s awesome,” friend Deborah Whitaker told WLNY.
Signore says the only medicine she takes is a pill for high blood pressure. “That’s all.”
Asked what else has contributed to her longevity, Signore told WCBS: “Italian food. Italian food is very good for you.”
Ironically, numerous studies have suggested single people actually die younger than their married counterparts: One report indicated bachelors die eight to 17 years earlier than married men—while single women pass away seven to 15 years earlier than married ones. Researchers believe lower incomes and less support networks could be responsible.
“If you’re a couple, a spouse may be after you to eat better and go the doctor,” sociologist David Roelfs told NBC News in 2011. “Sometimes it’s just easier to be healthier and less of a risk taker when you’re married.”
People looking to prolong their lives often turn to diet and exercise, but many centenarians have attributed their longevity to pretty counterintuitive strategies: In September, 106-year-old Edith Wylie told Montana’s Great Falls Tribune that, aside from good genes, her long life is due to “bourbon, water and Cheetos while watching 5 o’clock news.”
Margaret Young of Sutton, England, turned 108 in October and told The Chad her secret was “to be happy and have plenty of cups of teas.”
Emma Morano of Italy, the oldest verified person on Earth when she died at 117 in 2017, gave credit to a particular odd dietary habit: three eggs a day, two of which were eaten raw. She started the diet after being diagnosed with anemia as a young adult, according to the BBC.
Like Signore, Morano was also single for most of her life after separating from her husband back in 1938.
At 117, Japan’s Kane Tanaka is the current verified oldest living person. She , has attributed her longevity to family, sleep and hope. But it’s worth noting Tanaka reportedly drinks three cans of coffees a day and eats “plenty of candy.”

NASA discovers new Earth-like planet just 31 light years away
Nasa’s planet spotting telescope has uncovered another three planets, which scientists say include the first nearby super-Earth. The planet, called GJ 357 d, orbits a star around 31 light years away in the so-called habitable zone, an area far enough from its star to not be too hot but close enough to not be too cold. In this region, it is possible for liquid water to exist on the surface of a planet if it is rocky, although further research is needed to work out whether GJ 357 d’s atmosphere is dense and warm enough to host liquid water.
Salt-N-Pepa Respond to Lawsuit from DJ Spinderella
The rift between Salt-N-Pepa and DJ Spinderella is getting deeper as the Hip-Hop duo state they attempted to look after their DJ, however, it would always backfire.
The Blast received court documents with the response to the Spinderella issued lawsuit from Pepa (real name Sandra Denton) and Salt (Cheryl James).
“After decades of friendship, Spinderella has embarked on a smear campaign, and sued her friends, based on blatantly erroneous assertions,” Salt and Pepa said. “The truth, however, is that Salt and Pepa have always tried to do right by Spinderella.
“Spinderella decided to quit performing with Salt and Pepa years ago and asked to rejoin the group ‘Salt N Pepa’ in December 2013. Nostalgia and the desire to help a friend motivated Salt and Pepa to agree. They offered to pay Spinderella on a per show basis to perform with the group. Spinderella, grateful for the opportunity, agreed, and they performed together again.”
In July, Spinderella sent a lawsuit to her former group mates stating that she has been on the short end of receiving money dating back to 1999. Funds she states she missed out on include performances, royalties and more. You can read the details of the lawsuit from the legendary DJ here.
