has been given a boost from an unlikely source – a keen Internet user from Indiana, USA. <p>After 7 months, Abbi and Darren Rendell had all but given up their search for their pet cat Jerry. The tabby had gone missing after the couple moved house from Staffordshire to Polperro, Cornwall. <p>But thanks to the wonders of modern technology, Jerry’s whereabouts have been confirmed by <a href="http://search.msn.co.uk/news/results.aspx?q=Deb+Wilgus&FORM=UKHOTL" target="_blank">Deb Wilgus</a>, an avid American Internet user. She confirmed that she had seen a cat matching Jerry’s description on a webcam found on the Polperro village online forum. Wilgus regularly visits local website to enjoy Polperro’s picturesque views. <p>When she saw an appeal for the missing moggy on the same website she immediately passed on the amazing news to the Rendells. The Cornish couple are staking out the hotel and are now convinced they will find their long lost pet.<br><br><strong>More on Hotlist<br></strong><a

getting off a flight from Houston. <p>Quint originally gave Khalil $100 for returning the rare instrument as that was all the money he had on him at the time. But he felt obliged to make a further gesture of thanks. On May 6, Quint returned to Newark Liberty International Airport and performed for 30 minutes to an audience of cabbies in the taxi holding area. <p>Quint has also invited Khalil and his family to a concert he is giving at Carnegie Hall in Manhattan this September.<br><br><strong>More on Hotlist<br></strong><a href="http://hotlist.uk.msn.com/hotlist/bill-bramanti-orders-beercan-coffin.aspx" target="_blank">Bill Brumanti's giant beercan coffin</a><br><a href="http://hotlist.uk.msn.com/celebs/girls-aloud-star-cheryl-cole-named-top-gay-icon.aspx" target="_blank">Cheryl Cole named top UK lesbian icon</a><br><a href="http://hotlist.uk.msn.com/sport/brazilian-star-ronaldo-in-transvestite-sex-scandal.aspx" target="_blank">Ronaldo in transvestite sex scandal</a><br> <div> <table> <tbody> <tr> <td colspan=100><b>Bookmark with:</b> <tr valign=baseline> <td><a href="http://digg.com/submit?phase=2&url=http://msnsearchhotlist.spaces.live.com/blog/cns!9E60BA237167C666!698.entry&title=Free gig: no strings attached!"><img alt="Share this post using Digg" src="http://estb01.msn.com/i/A1/015DEE3957CBCE73EEE783DF7B35.gif" border=0></a> <a href="http://digg.com/submit?phase=2&url=http://msnsearchhotlist.spaces.live.com/blog/cns!9E60BA237167C666!698.entry&title=Free gig: no strings attached!">Digg </a> <td><a href="http://del.icio.us/post?v=4&noui&jump=close&url=http://msnsearchhotlist.spaces.live.com/blog/cns!9E60BA237167C666!698.entry&title=Free gig: no strings attached!"><img alt="Share this post using del.icio.us" src="http://estb01.msn.com/i/D4/932E350D0DB963ED853F7ABB191A0.gif" border=0></a> <a href="http://del.icio.us/post?v=4&noui&jump=close&url=http://msnsearchhotlist.spaces.live.com/blog/cns!9E60BA237167C666!698.entry&title=Free gig: no strings attached!">del.icio.us </a> <td><a href="http://reddit.com/submit?url=http://msnsearchhotlist.spaces.live.com/blog/cns!9E60BA237167C666!698.entry&title=Free gig: no strings attached!"><img alt="Share this post using Reddit" src="http://estb01.msn.com/i/BD/31D436ADEE5B875C24F2032DF874.bmp" border=0></a> <a href="http://reddit.com/submit?url=http://msnsearchhotlist.spaces.live.com/blog/cns!9E60BA237167C666!698.entry&title=Free gig: no strings attached!">Reddit </a> <tr> <td><a href="http://www.facebook.com/sharer.php?u=http://msnsearchhotlist.spaces.live.com/blog/cns!9E60BA237167C666!698.entry"><img alt="Share this post using FaceBook" src="http://estb01.msn.com/i/C0/9FCEC94A942A38C2A8F18DC54D1343.bmp" border=0></a> <a href="http://www.facebook.com/sharer.php?u=http://msnsearchhotlist.spaces.live.com/blog/cns!9E60BA237167C666!698.entry">FaceBook </a> <td><a href="http://www.newsvine.com/_tools/seed?popoff=0&u=http://msnsearchhotlist.spaces.live.com/blog/cns!9E60BA237167C666!698.entry"><img alt="Share this post using Newsvine" src="http://estb01.msn.com/i/95/D852BEB575B014966B9E51DB89F560.gif" border=0></a> <a href="http://www.newsvine.com/_tools/seed?popoff=0&u=http://msnsearchhotlist.spaces.live.com/blog/cns!9E60BA237167C666!698.entry">Newsvine </a> <td><a href="http://www.newsvine.com/_tools/seed?popoff=0&u=http://msnsearchhotlist.spaces.live.com/blog/cns!9E60BA237167C666!698.entry"><img alt="Share this post using StumbleUpon" src="http://estb01.msn.com/i/EF/9F7D2CC5FF1B814CF37C5DCD5224.gif" border=0></a> <a href="http://www.stumbleupon.com/submit?url=http://msnsearchhotlist.spaces.live.com/blog/cns!9E60BA237167C666!698.entry&title=Free gig: no strings attached!">StumbleUpon </a></tbody></table></div><img src="http://c.services.spaces.live.com/CollectionWebService/c.gif?cid=-7034417956563466650&page=RSS%3a+Free+gig%3a+no+strings+attached!&referrer=" width="1px" height="1px" border="0" alt=""><img style="position:absolute" alt="" width="0px" height="0px" src="http://c.live.com/c.gif?NC=31263&NA=1149&PI=73329&RF=&DI=3919&PS=85545&TP=msnsearchhotlist.spaces.live.com&GT1=msnsearchhotlist">http://msnsearchhotlist.spaces.live.com/Blog/cns!9E60BA237167C666!698.entry#commenthttp://msnsearchhotlist.spaces.live.com/Blog/cns!9E60BA237167C666!698.entryWed, 07 May 2008 10:58:36 GMT36blogentryblogentryBlog entryhttp://msnsearchhotlist.spaces.live.com/blog/cns!9E60BA237167C666!698/comments/feed.rsshttp://msnsearchhotlist.spaces.live.com/Blog/cns!9E60BA237167C666!698.entry#comment2008-05-07T11:00:03ZAussie Olympians suffer Vegemite banhttp://msnsearchhotlist.spaces.live.com/Blog/cns!9E60BA237167C666!670.entry<p><a href="http://tkfiles.storage.msn.com/y1plBcvTpw51GIAImVmgvFmWePCZ0fRu0Dp0eEK94SXb-LJUTRY4iAamAphFgOjFjJk3i4SznGT7D0?PARTNER=WRITER"><img style="border-right:0px;border-top:0px;margin:5px 5px 5px 0px;border-left:0px;border-bottom:0px" height=129 alt="(Image © Rex Features)" src="http://tkfiles.storage.msn.com/y1plBcvTpw51GIudh9OtyYcyMULHUyk4mqEcymTozlKTlWg-PWqqAqgQ6AP9dpf_jZvljGkPOQK14Y?PARTNER=WRITER" width=104 align=left border=0></a>First the Beijing Olympics prompted riots and demonstrations in London and San Francisco. Now it seems people are set to take to the streets in Sydney, Melbourne and Perth after Chinese authorities banned Australian athletes from taking national staple food Vegemite to the Games. <p>Olympic organisers in Beijing have told Australia that all the food their athletes require must be sourced from China. It is understood the Chinese have introduced the ban to maximise revenue for local food producers. Unsurprisingly, the yeast-based spread isn’t available there. <p>Vegemite is said to be a good source of vitamins and has grown into an iconic food in Australia since it was invented Melbourne in the 1920s. Australian Olympic team nutritionist Professor Louise Burke told the Herald Sun newspaper that having such home-grown products is crucial to the athletes' peace of mind. <p>Secretary General of the Australian Olympic Committee (AOC) Craig Phillips confirmed that Australia would appeal to China to reconsider their decision. <br><br><strong>More on Hotlist<br></strong><a

professional, a British tennis player dubbed “the world’s worst player” has finally recorded his first victory. <p><a href="http://search.msn.co.uk/news/results.aspx?q=Robert+Dee&FORM=UKHOTL" target="_blank">Robert Dee</a>’s three year professional record was a trail of shame. He had lost 54 consecutive games and has the dubious honour of possessing the worst record in professional tennis, losing all 108 sets he had contested since his first tournament in Mexico. <p>But the 21-year-old Brit’s fortitude and persistence was finally rewarded when he recorded a straight sets victory over American Arzhang Derakhshani in qualifying for a Futures tournament in Spain. <p>Sadly for Robert, his winning streak ended at one Poland’s Artur Romanowski dispatched him 6-3 6-1 in the following round. <br><br>In the history of the game, Dee’s 54-game losing streak has only been matched by one man. Guatemalan player Diego Beltranena also lost 54 matches in a row between 1997 and 2005 but he at least managed to win a few sets.<br><br><strong>More great British losers<br></strong><a

They placed him in their unmarked vehicle before returning to the site of the arrest to look for further evidence. <br><br>While they were busy investigating, Mr Nolan, who had been handcuffed with his hands in front of his body, climbed into the driver’s seat, started the engine and drove off. The car was later found but Nolan was nowhere to be found.

notorious fans of an Israeli football club have robbed the team of a chance to clinch the league championship. <p>Four minutes from time on Sunday night, thousands of <a href="http://search.msn.co.uk/news/results.aspx?q=" target="_blank">Beitar Jerusalem</a> supporters invaded the pitch as their team led 1-0 against Maccabi Herzliya. The referee suspended the match and Beitar forfeited the match. Victory would have given Beitar an unbeatable 15-point lead in the Israeli league with five matches to play. <p>Beitar’s fans are well known for their bad behaviour. They were banned from their own stadium for two matches for jeering a minute’s silence in memory of assassinated Israeli Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin and singing songs in praise of his killer. <p>The club’s billionaire owner Arcady Gaydamak was disgusted by the supporters’ actions seething “those people are abnormal and idiots”.<br><br><strong>More odd news on MSN<br></strong><a

historic alternative sporting spectacles has been dealt a potentially fatal blow by the Nanny State. <p>The <a href="http://search.msn.co.uk/news/results.aspx?q=Bognor+Birdman&FORM=UKHOTL" target="_blank">International Bognor Birdmen Challenge</a>, in which intrepid eccentrics attempt to defy gravity and fly from the end of Bognor’s pier using home made aviation equipment, has been grounded by local health and safety officials. <p>Magnificent men and their flying machines have propelled themselves from Bognor’s pier every summer for the past 30 years. The event regularly attracts crowds of 15,000 people. But the plug has now been pulled on the famous contest thanks to council fears that competitors could be injured following pier renovation work. <p>Last month, Bognor’s pier was shortened by fifty feet. This meant that Birdman competitors would have 12 feet of water below them instead of the usual 14 feet to cushion their inevitable fall to earth. Fearing possible injuries and compensation claims, the council chose to cancel the event.<br><br>Bognor Council said it hoped to restore the pier to its previous length to allow the festival to go ahead in future. <p><a href="http://hotlist.uk.msn.com/hotlist/international_bognor_birdman.aspx" target="_blank">More on the International Bognor Birdman Challenge</a><br> <div

American stuntman Robert McDonald, his son and over 5,000 young volunteers. <p>McDonald has loaded the ship with toys and plans to give away his cargo to children in hospitals once he reaches these shores.

richest of its kind with nine million dollars and 100 cars up for grabs. It forms part of the <a href="http://search.msn.co.uk/news/results.aspx?q=" target="_blank">Mazayin Dhafra</a> festival. <p>Entry is open to anyone who can prove ownership of a pedigree camel but all entrants must be free of contagious diseases. An expert panel of professional camel appreciators will choose the best animals for each age group. <br><br>Abu Dhabi’s ruler, Sheikh Khalifa bin Zayed, has sponsored the event in the hope that it will help Emiritis preserve their national identity through showing respect for animals central to Arab culture.<br><br><strong>More offbeat news<br></strong><a

After all, John F Kennedy and Ronald Reagan both had airports named after them while JFK’s brother Robert had a Washington sports stadium named in his honour. <p>Now George W Bush could be set to get in on the act after it was revealed that an online campaign exists to change the named of the Oceanside Wastewater Treatment Plant in San Francisco to the George W Bush Sewage Plant. <p>A grassroots movement called the Presidential Memorial Commission of San Francisco is proposing an initiative for the November 2008 San Francisco ballot in order to get the poop/pee/vomit plant's title changed. Why? The PMC simply wish to honour the outgoing leader of the free world with an "appropriate and enduring legacy” for what they consider to be the "worst administration in the history of the United States". <p>If you want to add your name to the PMC’s online petition, you can do so on <a href="http://www.presidentialmemorial.org/" target="_blank">their official website</a>.<br><br><strong>Latest

According to the crash report, he had a blood alcohol level of nearly twice the US legal drink drive limit. <br><br>Witnesses said that Krepina seemed lethargic at the scene of the accident and had thrown up inside the vehicle and on himself. He was charged with reckless operation of a motor vehicle and drink driving.

Catching the criminals in the act, the bikers intervened, assailing the robbers with tables, chairs and anything else that wasn't nailed down. <p>One would-be robber was tied up; the other ended up in hospital after crashing through a plate-glass door and jumping off a balcony to escape.. Police arrested both.

the Eurovision Song Contest over the past 15 years, you might be forgiven for thinking that Ireland is no longer taking the competition all that seriously.<br><br>That's because Ireland's ambassador for the 2008 contest will be a glove puppet called Dustin the Turkey, an unlikely TV celebrity renowned for his burps and thick Dublin accent. <br><br>Armed with his vote-winning anthem "Irelande Douze Pointe", Dustin's ditty played to mixed reviews when it was aired on Irish television. <br><br>But Dustin, who has previously performed comedy duets with such musical luminaries as Chris de Burgh and actress Dervla Kirwan, has one world famous ally. Sir Bob Geldof backed Dustin's bid for glory telling the Irish Times "The mere fact of his being a turkey should give Ireland the edge." <br><br><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z28STzFIFBU" target="_blank"><strong>Watch Dustin perform Irelande Douze Pointe</strong></a><br><br><strong>More Hotlist offbeat news<br></strong><a href="http://hotlist.uk.msn.com/sport/glamour-model-referee-returns-to-action.aspx" target="_blank">Brazil's banned glamour model referee returns to action</a><br><a
