Jennifer Connell, pictured, from Manhattan, is suing her 12-year-old nephew Sean Tarala for breaking her wrist at his eighth birthday party because 'he should have known that such a forceful greeting' could 'cause harm'. Connell claims her nephew jumped into her arms causing the damage which means she can no longer hold a plate of 'hors d'oeuvres'.

EXCLUSIVE: Siti Kayyam (left) is so convinced the wreckage was MH370 that she made the dangerous 22-hour journey by sea to Borneo to report it - claiming the police in her home state of Bangao would not take a 'poor islander' like her seriously. She told MailOnline how her son Raik, 13, was hunting birds through the hills on the south-west tip of Sugbay Island (right), southern Philippines, when one bird landed on the wreckage. She said: 'Raik went near the body of one of the pilots on the right and he tried to take off the hat but the flesh on the man's jaw fell off! Like melted.' Earlier today, the deputy police director of Tawi-Tawi, Superintendent Glenn Roy said the search crews he sent to the site of the alleged sighting found nothing and if a plan had crashed on the island, locals 'would have noticed'. Speculation is building that - if a plane did in fact crash on Sugbay Island - it could be the Flying Tiger Line Lockheed Super Constellation (inset) that was carrying 107 people when it vanished in the western Pacific on March 16, 1962.

The sprawling 23,000-square-foot, mountaintop estate (outside view pictured bottom left) in Escondido was listed originally for $12.5m but sold immediately prior to auction after the buyer made a last-minute offer. The mega mansion, boasting a 'one-of-a-kind' 288,000-gallon lap pool (top right), features eight bedrooms, including a 4,300-square-foot master suite with access to a rooftop terrace, nine full and two half bathrooms and an unfinished guest house. In addition, the home offers striking panoramic views from the formal dining which has a revolving floor and glass walls (top left), and also features a 20-car garage, koi pools, stone wall waterfalls (bottom right) and two 900-gallon salt-water aquariums.

Two brothers successfully escaped from Alcatraz in 1962 and did not drown as the FBI said they did, their nephews claim in a History Channel documentary. They gave filmmakers a photograph that they claim proves Clarence (bottom left in his mug shot and top right in the newly emerged photo) and John Anglin (bottom and top right) were living on a farm in Brazil in 1975 - and could still be alive today. It was the most dramatic piece of evidence presented in the film, which put forward the theory that the prisoners 'body-surfed' behind a ferry leaving Alcatraz after digging out of their cells with spoons and then were picked up by a criminal associate and taken to freedom. Ken, 54 and David Widner, 48, handed over a picture to investigators showing two men in sunglasses standing alongside a road - and a forensic expert strongly believes it is the escapees. The criminals, who would be 84 and 85 years old if alive today, were presumed to have drowned in the perilous waters surrounding the historic San Franciso island after breaking out of their cells in the middle of the night. But the Widners' new evidence has been described as a 'gamechanger' by a former investigator from the U.S. Marshal Service, The government agency believes the explanation as to how they made it to land is plausible and the photo is genuine.

Dutch investigators released the findings of their long-awaited investigation in front of a ghostly reconstruction of the forward section of the Boeing 777 (left and bottom right). Some of the nose, cockpit and business class of the jet were rebuilt from fragments of the aircraft recovered from the crash scene and flown to Gilze-Rijen air base in the Netherlands. Investigators also released a video (top right) demonstrating how the Russian-made BUK missile detonated just inches from the cockpit, killing the pilots and breaking off the front of the plane. The report said: 'It cannot be ruled out that some occupants remained conscious for some time during the one to one-and-a-half minutes for which the crash lasted.' This appeared to contradict earlier information given to relatives who were told at a briefing in The Hague that their loved ones would have died very soon after the missile exploded.

After adopting baby Isabella in 1992 with her then husband Tom Cruise (inset), actress Nicole Kidman described her newborn daughter as 'everything'. Twenty-two years later, though, that tender bond appears completely ruptured. For Miss Kidman, 48, (pictured left) was not among those celebrating her daughter's wedding last month. Indeed, only a handful of friends were present for the marriage of Bella Cruise (centre, in white) and Max Parker, an IT consultant, in a Scientologist ceremony (pictured left) at The Dorchester hotel in London. In fact, not only were Bella's parents absent from those toasting the newlyweds, it is said Nicole didn't even know it was happening. To make this even more wounding, Kidman was in London on the day of the wedding - September 18 - preparing for her West End stage role as British scientist Rosalind Franklin. It would seem that Bella has almost totally cast her mother aside.

As Playboy announces it will stop running pictures of fully nude women from March next year, FEMAIL looks back at the magazine's most iconic - and notorious covers - since its 1953 launch. Clockwise from top left: Wonderbra beauty Eva Herzigova went full frontal in 2004; in 2007 Marge Simpson recreated an earlier famous cover; Lindsay Lohan shed the remains of her child star image in 2011; Kate Moss donned the classic bunny outfit in 2014; Pamela Anderson smouldered in black and white pictures in 2007 and Darine Stern made history as the first black woman to have a solo feature in the publication in 1971.

They pride themselves in being expert dating coaches and guys flock to them, paying pick-up artists hundreds of dollars to teach them how to land a lady. Daily Mail Online got an exclusive invite to a recent Seduction Conference in Hollywood where pink-haired and tattoo-covered PUA's lectured trainees with techniques and one-on-one demonstrations of the right moves to use if they want to get a girl's number or more forwardly, take her home. But the lessons didn't come without shelling out major cash.

Ono (right) said that she is still scared her life could be in danger of Mark David Chapman (inset), who shot Lennon outside the couple's Manhattan apartment building, the Dakota - where Ono still lives - in 1980. She said it is for this reason that she hires personal security. So when I go out or when I don't go out, in my apartment, I'm very, very careful,' she told The Daily Beast in a new wide-ranging interview. Ono also addressed age-old rumors her husband was bisexual, saying: ''I think he had a desire to (be with men), but I think he was too inhibited.' Lennon was long thought to have had an affair with Beatles manager Brian Epstein (together-left).

A snake has been seen devouring a possum on the branch of a tree on a property in Sydney's Northern Beaches. The long diamond back python can be seen wrapping its slender body around the limp cadaver of a large ring-tail possum (pictured), whilst attempting to hoist it onto another branch. This particular species of python can eat animals larger than the diameter of their heads.

Footage captured on-board American Airlines Flight 408 to Portland, Oregon, shows the sobbing passenger (left) pleading with a female flight attendant after being ordered to get off the plane. The woman (pictured, center, leaving the flight with tears streaming down her face) had reportedly not heard a male flight attendant who had asked her to sit down. Passengers seated near the front of the plane (right) can be heard defending the woman by 'booing' - with several saying it was the last time they would be flying with the airline.

NEW Shia LaBeouf was verbally aggressive and confrontational towards the police officer who arrested him for public intoxication Friday night in Austin, Texas. According to the arrest affidavit, the Hollywood actor said he's usually 'let go' by cops because 'police had killed a friend of his.' Then the allegedly drunken star three times called the officer a 'silly man.'

NEW Two years after they tied the knot, Joel and Lauren Jackson, from Florida, have finally enjoyed their first dance as man and wife. Gazing into each other's eyes the 26 year olds the impromptu moment was one they never expected. Six years ago Joel cheated death, surviving a car crash that rendered him paralysed from the neck down. Such was the severity of his injuries, that Joel was effectively decapitated internally - his head separated from his spine. Lauren said: 'It is the little triumphs that are giant steps for us. And for the little things, I am grateful.'

Lindsay Lohan, Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen and Miley Cyrus may have been among the best known child stars of the 90s but plenty of other big name actors were quietly carving out their careers, too. FEMAIL has taken a look back at the forgotten roles many of our favorite Hollywood stars played as children - and some were more successful than others. Tom Felton, now 28, bottom left, saw his acting career kick off long before Harry Potter. In 1997, he landed the role of Peagreen Clock in The Borrowers, top left. One of Kristen Stewart's first roles was in 2002's Panic Room, top center, in which she played Jodie Foster's daughter, long before her Twilight days, bottom center. Jake Gyllenhaal, 34, bottom right, starred as Billy Crystal's son in 1991's City Slickers, top right.

America is getting to see a whole new side to Billy the Kid, with a recently uncovered picture that shows the infamous outlaw playing croquet with his Regulators gang (Billy the kid pictured left, in right image). Randy Guijarro bought the tintype picture from a Fresno, California  junk shop on a whim five years ago, as part of a set of three photos for $2. That photo is now worth an estimated $5million, after experts spent more than a year authenticating it as the only surviving picture of Billy the Kid with the Regulators. The only other verified picture of Billy the Kid, real name Henry McCarty, is a portrait taken in 1880 (left), which sold for more than $2million in 2011.

The daughter of New York fashion kingpin Tommy Hilfiger (pictured together, left) says Lyme disease left her living 'like an 80-year-old woman' after doctors failed to discover she had the debilitating illness for 14 years. The 30-year-old is understood to have contracted the disease, which is carried and spread by ticks, when she was seven-years-old. However, she claims she wasn't diagnosed properly until she was 21, leaving her young body ravaged by the condition. Undiagnosed, the fashion heiress suffered with the disease's crippling symptoms - which include chronic fatigue, headaches and muscle pain - for almost two decades. Ally was talking candidly after being photographed with former supermodel Yolanda Foster (together, right) at the inaugural Global Lyme Alliance gala, who last week revealed that her model daughter Bella, 18, and son Anwar Hadid, 16, have both secretly been battling Lyme disease for over three years. The 51-year-old model also has the illness.

Debby Heerkens, a biology teacher at Groene Hart Rijnwoude school, in Hazerswoude Dorp, Netherlands, stripped off in front of her students to reveal an anatomically-correct spandex suit, left. As well as that suit, she also stripped off to reveal two more: one clearly showing where each of the body's muscles are located, right, and another Halloween-esque skeleton suit to convey bone anatomy, left. Debby, who has worked as a teacher for seven years, wanted to use a more creative way to educate and engage her class.

It's no secret that many women are tempted by Botox and fillers - and countless celebrities have had a helping hand - but often ladies feel intimated at the prospect of it looking too obvious. So is it? Photos of four London women - two of whom opt to have fillers and two who don't - have been released as part of a dermal filler treatment maker's claims that cosmetic surgery can look more natural. Pictured: Paige Mengers, 43, left, and Christa Towning, 47, right, both from London. Christina said: 'Taking care of my skin has always been high on my priority list and I've always been hot on the latest anti-ageing skincare on the market, especially as I've got older.'

Thomas DePetrillo spent the last two years building the Iron Man costume, which is 6ft 6inches wide, 44 inches thick and 95lb. It takes him 20 minutes just to put on the suit, which also has the ability to make the eyes glow white and dot the armor with red lights. DePetrillo, who has been making extreme costumes for 19 years, said it was the 'single, largest, most domineering thing' he's ever created.

Canadian hostages Robert Hall, left, and John Ridsdel, right, appeared on the two-minute long Isis-style video following their abduction from a luxury Filipino island resort. They were kidnapped alongside Norwegian resort owner Kjartan Sekkinstad and his Filipino girlfriend. The group were abducted by Filipino terror group Abu Sayyaf, pictured inset.

The What's For Lunch project is a four-part photography series which provides an insight into what 10 children from across six continents have for their midday meals. The children photographed their meals themselves using camera phones and described their meals in great detail. Lunches features include (clockwise from top left): Kanoka from Japan who had Shaun the Sheep rice balls, broccoli, fried egg, sausage, Chinese fried pepper and steak and fruits; Sucheta from India feasted on a vegetarian lunch of curried pulses, rice, spiced potato wedges and a salad; Bobo from Sweden enjoyed meatballs with fried potatoes, cucumber and ketchup; Siobhan from Australia dug in to a 'healthy lunch' of leftover rice with vegetables, a roasted potato and homemade bread; Virginia from Brazil was very happy with her pork and mashed potatoes, cherry tomato salad with balsamic vinegar and black bean soup; and Malik from the US had a peanut butter and jelly sandwich on honey wheat bread, fresh strawberries, Soft Batch chocolate chip cookies and Takis Fuego chips

As Karl Andree's family battle to get his sentence of 350 lashes in Saudi Arabia (public flogging right) overturned, MailOnline republishes Gavin Sherrard-Smith's (left) harrowing account of the punishment he endured at hands of Qatari authorities. Mr Sherrard-Smith was accused of selling alcohol to a Muslim in 1993 - an allegation he has always denied.

NEW The young men from Salt Lake City visited and IKEA store to take photos to use on the dating app. Though the rooms they set up in are all clean and nicely decorated, it's immediately clear that the boys are, in fact, in a store, as IKEA signs and price tags hang from various pieces of furniture. The Imgur user who shared the photos, Kevin Routson, 27, said his friends were just goofing around, but they ended up getting some great snaps in the process - and the date offers are already pouring in.

Rising up to 170 feet in the air, the 14 adorned towers of the Meenakshi Temple are covered in an impressive display of around 33,000 sculptures - all accentuated with a riot of bright colours. Located in the south Indian state of Tamil Nadu, the radiant Hindu site didn't always look so vibrant. The thick layers of enamel paint that can be seen today have been applied to the gateway towers, or gopurams, in celebration of big events and festivals over recent years.

After realising he would turn his back frequently on his wife while looking at his phone and observing how just much digital devices had crept into peoples' daily lives, photographer Eric Pickersgill set about creating a photoseries to illustrate the negative impact the technological revolution could be having. (Pictured from left: a couple lie back-to-back, a couple look at their phones while on the sofa. Inset: three young boys pretend to play on handheld devices)

Tokyo and Kyoto photographer, Takashi Yasui, began sharing the images of the likes of Mount Fuji and the Hokanji Temple on his Instagram account in 2012. The 1,093 beautiful images reveal his daily expeditions around the East Asian country from the eye of a lens.

Robert Houser, a California-based photographer, took pictures of 35 subjects, from age 17 to their early 70s, for his series, 'Facing Chemo'. Robert said that he hopes that his series inspires empathy, and added that his subjects have thanked him for taking pictures of them, not their disease. 'These images reveal a certain honesty about the individuals - what they are going through, what they are feeling at that moment,' he told Daily Mail Online. 'Undergoing chemo leaves one unable to hide true emotions.'. Many of the men and women he photographed also chose not to hide their bald heads or even the scars on their chests.
