Rest easy, grandmothers of New York: New York's Finest have bagged Larry Davis, the horny stoner grandson accused of killing his grandmother and going on a two-day sex romp while her corpse rotted in the bedroom closet under a pile of dirty clothes. What a world! The Daily News reports that Davis, 22, was busted just before midnight last night after two weeks on the lam. He's charged with murder and criminal contempt for violating an order of protection that his poor grandmother, 76-year-old Cora Davis, had futilely filed against her allegedly murderous grandson. more ›

Prosecutors yesterday charged 26-year-old Christopher Jackson with murdering his 62-year-old grandmother Rosemary Little on Monday.

Concerned relatives of 76-year-old Cora Davis had not heard from her in two days, so they went to check on her at her East Harlem apartment at the Wagner Houses on East 124th Street. When they opened the woman's bedroom door, they found her grandson, 21-year-old Larry Davis, having sex in her bed with an unidentified 20-year-old woman. Cora Davis was nowhere to be found, and an argument ensued, with one family member demanding to know, "Where's Grandma?" more ›

In his Huffington Post column, former mayor Ed Koch has blasted the White House for responding to inquiries about Supreme Court nominee Elena Kagan's sexual orientation. According to Koch, the White House should never have dignified such questions with an answer, and instead ought to have denounced the speculation. "By denying she is lesbian instead of denouncing the inquiry, the White House is implicitly stating sexual orientation is a legitimate issue of discussion in the confirmation process," writes Koch. more ›

Isn't there some new cooking-at-home, hipster foodie, artisinalista trend happening? Apparently it hasn't made it from the outer-boroughs to Manhattan, where Paper's Alexis Swerdloff reports for the NY Post on kitchenistas—or in other words, those city dwellers who turn their kitchens into closets. more ›

This week's NY Times Real Estate cover story is about "accidental sellers"—people whose "life has gotten in the way — in the form of a job upheaval, imminent offspring, holy matrimony or the dissolution thereof." There are various anecdotes (like the couple who hasn't sold their Brooklyn place and are now in Switzerland where cost of living is really expensive), and the one that caught our eye was the dilemma of artist-art professors Elizabeth Demaray and Hugo Bastidas: They are expecting a baby next month and, if their two-bedroom condo at 116th and Lenox Avenue doesn't sell, they have outfitted the walk-in closet as a nursery. Why? Because Bastidas uses one of the bedrooms as a studio: "The 1,200-square-foot space is not big enough for the couple, his canvases, a baby and an exceptionally vocal Bengal cat that must be sequestered in its own bedroom at night if the humans are to sleep." Demaray says, "If we wind up staying, we’re going to have to find a studio space for both of us, probably somewhere toward Lower Manhattan or possibly Jersey City. But the cat won’t work in the closet." See the couple and their cat in this picture—looks like Bastidas is practicing his baby carry with the cat! more ›

In the Sex and the City movie, Mr. Big promises to build Carrie a bigger closet, but life doesn't imitate art for Mr. Big's portrayer Chris Noth. Apparently you can find his unwanted odds and ends at the Cutting Room, the bar he co-owns with Steven Walter. Walter tells gossip reporter Jo Piazza, "He cleans out his apartment, especially now that he is a dad, and he just dumps it all here. We have a lamp on the bar that Chris' girlfriend didn't like. Who has a lamp on their bar? It's an ugly lamp." more ›
