The South Korean company said in a regulatory filing Tuesday that it has made a final decision to stop production of the Galaxy Note 7 for the sake of consumer safety. The company says consumers with original Note 7 devices or replacements they obtained after the recall should turn off the power and seek a refund or exchange them for different phones. The announcement follows several new incidents of overheating last week and deals a further blow to the world's largest smartphone company. U.S. consumer safety officials said they're investigating five incidents of fire or overheating since the company announced a recall last month.

A married Louisiana politician has released a bizarre infomercial in which he admits to sexting a 17-year-old boy, but says he's not going to leave office. 'Last summer I was old enough to know better, but I guess I was still young enough to do something stupid,' 40-year-old Jefferson Parish President Mike Yenni (above in video and below with wife Michelle and three-year-old daughter Reagan) says in the video posted by NOLA.com.  His remarks come just over a week after the FBI confirmed it had investigated claims he had an improper relationship with the teen, which included kissing him, buying him underwear and sending sexts of threesome fantasies.

'I feel it's very important that I address you all directly. As a journalist for 26 years now, it is my job to bring you news about others, rather than turning the focus on myself,' said Nancy O'Dell (left, right in 2004 with Donald and Melania). 'But by now, I'm sure that most of you have heard the audio tape which became national news and part of the presidential race.' She went on to say: 'My name was mentioned and, unfortunately, the release of it has thrown me into the middle of the political arena of which I didn't ask to be a part. I released a statement on Saturday and I truly mean what I said. There is no room for objectification of women, or anybody for that matter, not even in the "locker room."'

Emily West (left) appeared in 2010 in an episode of the show titled 'Beauty And Brains', which had contestants make over one of two aspiring country musicians. Donald Trump (right) fixated on West's physical appearance, specifically on the quality of her skin, during the taping, according to a transcript of a behind-the-scene exchange unveiled Monday. Country music star Trace Adkins (inset) starred as a guest judge on the episode. When he defended West's makeover, Trump told him he was 'obviously not a skin man'. The disrespectful comments pale in comparison to the GOP nominee's remarks caught in a 2005 video, in which he talked about grabbing women 'by the p***y'. But they add to a record of demeaning comments Trump has made about women.

A New Mexico mother did nothing to stop her boyfriend and his cousin from raping and dismembering her daughter on her tenth birthday, even as the girl begged for them to stop, police say.

He then went over to the spot, which was near the Star of Arkansas diamond marker, and found the white diamond.

The groomer was a man in his twenties, whom she had met at a party.

Despite being raised by an abusive father (above left), suffering from severe anxiety and hearing horrific voices in his head, Brian Wilson, now 74, became a musical genius. Father Murray Wilson steered his three sons into singing and playing in the family's garage and the boys eventually joined with cousin Mike Love and friend Al Jardine to form the Beach Boys (bottom right). But Brian's life was falling apart and Dr Eugene Landy (top right with Wilson), a psychotherapist later denounced as a Svengali, was called in to rescue the musician from himself. Landy took control of Wilson's life, charging him $35,000 a month for treatments that left him poorly groomed with food on his clothes, ashamed and afraid. Brian met his adored second wife, Melinda Ledbetter (center) in 1986 while she was selling Cadillacs. She helped him escape from Landy's clutches.

The phrase man's best friend has rarely been truer than with this obedient dog who has been trained to fetch his owner beer. Footage emerged last week from Sudbury, Canada, of the puppy's very useful trick. The dog stares in anticipation into the eyes of his owner, who commands him 'get Daddy a beer'. Immediately, the pooch goes running over to a nearby bucket containing the beverages, brings one back and places it in the man's hand. Just to prove it is not a fluke, he does it again for good measure.

Goose, an eight-year-old Yorkshire Terrier, had a puzzled look on his face after being sheared last week having grown his coat for more than two months. His owner, hospitality manager Grant Brown, from Glasgow, Scotland, with his wife Laura, 25, said the pattern formed almost perfectly as he tidied up Goose's coat. Mr Brown, 31, said: 'We give him a haircut every couple of months because he gets a bit messy as it is started falling off him I realised it looked pretty cool. We had been waiting a wee while longer because we were waiting on a new set of clippers to come in the post so it was quite straggly. His hair does grow quite long but he enjoys getting it cut too. My wife likes it shorter so when the new gear came I sat him down and got it done.'
