The hand and foot model suing her UES co-op for $10 million for allegedly ostracizing her because she married a former doorman has been all too happy to tell her story to the tabloids this week—until yesterday, when she suddenly fled the building with a coat over her head. But since Christina Ambers is a famous hand model, the local tabloid photographers immediately recognized her distinctive digits, and some truly hilarious images ensued. "You ruined our lives!" husband Angel Rotger shouted at the shutterbugs as he led his hooded wife along the sidewalk.

The manager of an Italian-American social club in New Rochelle almost lost a hand Sunday night because he may have owed the mob money, police suspect. Lt. Christopher Hearle tells CBS2 that 42-year-old club manager Vincent Zarcone "owed a substantial amount of money, and apparently Mr. Calise was unhappy with the payment schedule that had been worked out. Basically, [he] severed his right hand with a meat cleaver." Christopher Calise is accused of attacking Zarcone with the cleaver while an accomplice, Maurice Mann, held him in a bear hug. (Whatever happened to just wrapping a telephone cord around the guy's neck until his toupee falls off?) A patrolman caught the suspects as they fled the scene in a rented Cadillac, and Zarcone, who has a 2005 conviction for promoting gambling, required surgery to get his hand reattached. Now the FBI's Organized Crime task force is looking into the club, but Zarcone's cleaning lady insists he's a good fellow, telling CBS2, "He works downstairs, the computer."
