Talk about a lesson in forgiveness.
Former California high school football star Brian Banks bears no grudge against Wanetta Gibson, even though her false accusations against him 10 years ago killed his promising NFL career, landed him five years in prison and branded him a sex offender.
Gibson has since stepped forward, first admitting to Banks over Facebook – where she reached out by trying to friend him – that she had lied about his kidnapping and raping her when he was 16 and she was 15. She then admitted before a private investigator that the story was a complete fabrication.
On Thursday, Brian Banks, 26, got his freedom and his life back.

Queen Elizabeth Loves to Laugh with Her Grandkids
Originally posted 05/25/2012 12:00PM
To the outside world, Queen Elizabeth sometimes appears as a poker-faced woman who seldom lets down her guard or offers up an opinion.
But when she's around her eight grandchildren (and two great-granddaughters), she "lights up," according to one of them.
Princess Eugenie, 21, says she loves telling the 86-year-old monarch about life at university. "We talk about my Newcastle life and how I've got so many essays and things and she still goes, 'Aha,' [and] laughs at what I say, which is lovely," Eugenie says during an ITV1 special, Elizabeth: Queen, Wife, Mother, airing in Britain on June 1.

Cannes International Film Festival 2012
Robert Pattinson: What Happens in My Pants Stays in My Pants
Originally posted 05/25/2012 11:00AM
Before director David Cronenberg's new movie about a young, rich financier, Cosmopolis, was unveiled at the Cannes Film Festival, its star, Robert Pattinson, did a little revelation of his own – though, apparently, not as much as his director had requested.
In an interview for Metro France that quickly got picked up around the festival, the Twilight star, 26, was quoted as saying, "Five minutes before we filmed, David told me, 'I want to see the bottom of your balls on the top of the frame.' At the moment, I reminded myself that I would do anything for him. So I went back to see him and told him that wouldn't happen."
And how did the filmmaker of The Fly, Scanner, Eastern Promises and A Dangerous Method react to his leading man's decision?

After more than three decades, one of the country's biggest missing persons cases has finally been solved, say police.
Pedro Hernandez, a former corner store worker, was arrested on suspicion of second-degree murder after he confessed to strangling 6-year-old Etan Patz and disposing of his body in 1979, police said Thursday.
"He was remorseful, and I think the detectives thought that it was a feeling of relief on his part," New York police Commissioner Ray Kelly told a news conference.
