Mutant frogs in Minnesota

HENDERSON, Minnesota -- Students on a nature hike in south-central Minnesota have discovered a batch of mutant frogs.

The students were exploring a marsh near Henderson earlier this month when they began catching some strange looking frogs. Several of the frogs had four back legs. Some had two legs growing out of the same socket and they were webbed to the knees. A few had only one eye.

Man rescued by Michael Jackson's doctor and Heidi Fleiss

SANTA MONICA, California -- A well-known doctor and a convicted madam came to the rescue overnight as a man tried to kill himself in Santa Monica, California.

Wearing handcuffs, the unidentified 40-year-old man jumped off a pier and into the ocean.

Jumping in after him, Singer Michael Jackson's plastic surgeon, Dr. Steve Hoefflin. Hoefflin kept the man afloat until a police boat arrived.

And how did police hear about the suicide attempt? From convicted Hollywood madam Heidi Fleiss. She was in the area, too, and called 911.

Fleiss is free without bail pending her tax evasion sentencing in November.
