Robin Williams’ daughter Zelda Williams has paid tribute to her Dad on what would have been his 65th birthday.

The 26-year-old took to social media to share an intimate family snap accompanied by a heartbreaking message.

“Still not really sure what to do on days like today… I know I can’t give you a present anymore, but I guess that means I’ll just have to keep giving them in your name instead,” she wrote.

Zelda has been getting much more involved in charity work since her father passed as a way to channel Robin’s generous spirit.

Zelda posted this throwback family photo alongside the tome she penned for Robin.

She took his birthday as an opportunity to speak about the work she’s done.

“This year, I tried to help three causes you cared about in one; rescue dogs, people suffering from disabilities, and our nation’s wounded veterans, so I donated to freedomservicedogs.org,” she explained in the message aimed at her actor father.

Zelda talks about the heartache of losing her father. Post continues.

“They rescue pups from shelters and train them so that they can be paired with someone in dire need of their help and companionship,” she explained.

“Thought you’d get a kick out of furry, four legged friends helping change the world, one warrior in need at a time.”

“Happy birthday Poppo. Shasha, Zakky, Codeman and I all love you and miss you like crazy. Xo.”

She shared the heart-felt message alongside a gorgeous throwback family photo featuring Zelda and her siblings, Zachary and Cody, all hanging off the funnyman actor.

NSW mum jailed for dumping baby in drain

A mother who dumped her day-old baby in a drain in 2014 has been sentenced to jail.

The 32-year-old mother who dumped her day-old baby in a drain in 2014 has been sentenced to 3.5 years jail.

The sentence was ruled yesterday, with the court hearing that she had visited the drain in the days after dumping her baby boy to hear for crying. When she didn’t, she assumed he’d died.

She plead guilty to charges of abandoning a child and recklessly causing grievous bodily harm.

Five days after the baby was left in the 2.4m-deep drain beside the M2 motorway at Quakers Hill, passing cyclists heard crying.

He was found malnourished and dehydrated, but according to his foster carers, he’s now doing very well.

The mother, who cannot be named, was found to have the intellectual capacity of a mid-primary school age child. Despite a Blacktown Hospital staff member having concerns about the woman, she was discharged the day after giving birth.

The mother told police that after catching a train to Quakers Hill with the baby, “I just saw the drain. Then I just put baby in there.”

The court heard that she became sad during her pregnancy because her boyfriend left her, and she was feared the disapproval of her family.

Judge Andrew Colefax said that the woman’s prospects of rehabilitation were high. “The perfect storm of factors which led to this shocking crime were both largely out of the control of the offender and are extremely unlikely to be repeated,” he said.

She will be eligible for parole next month as she has already served one year and nine months in prison.

According to Kim, young North is having a hard time adjusting to being a big sister.

Apparently since Kimye welcomed little Saint into the world in December, the adorable tot hasn’t been happy with the loss of attention.

“We talk about North being a big sister all the time,” Kim confessed.

Kim revealed that the three-year-old gets on really well with Kourtney Kardashian’s kids Penelope, Mason and Reign, her cousins, but hasn’t quite gotten used to the idea of a brother.

North West promises her mum she won’t ever grow up! Watch her cute clip below, then, post continues.

Looks like North is a bit jealous of all the attention gorgeous Saint is getting!

“Right now, because she’s three, it’s time to talk a lot about sharing. And North is great at sharing. She’s still getting the concept of having a brother, though.

“Like, Penelope and Reign are her cousins, but Saint is here every day because Saint is her brother.”

The little tyke isn’t used to having another little person around all the time.

The Keeping Up With The Kardashians star says she’s still trying different ways to try to make them closer.

“I like to bring her in to say ‘Good Morning’ [to Saint],” the 35-year-old explained.

Watch Kim relive the hilarious moment North flushed Daddy’s phone down the toilet in the video below! Post continues.

The little princess wants everything to be about her, naturally!

“She still wants things to be all about her, because she’s three!” Kim laughed.

“But planting that seed every morning that the day starts with you and your brother, that’s how I’ve been doing it.

“And she’s getting so much better. I can’t wait until they can really start communicating – although once he’s big enough to start grabbing her toys, we’ll have to get involved in a different way.”

Parents chronicle hilarious reasons “why my kid is crying”

With classics such as ‘I broke his cheese in half’ and ‘the neighbour’s dog isn’t outside’, Pembroke’s hilarious blog by the same name absolutely nails kid logic – or lack of it.

Anyone with a young child has experienced their fair share of tantrums. From full on blow outs at the supermarkets to screaming fits at day care, we’ve all had to live through comforting a toddler through a distressing period in their short, mostly care-free lives.

Whilst the reasons behind some of their little spats might be legitimate (you washed their favourite shirt, come on), some are downright perplexing.

Father of two, Greg Pembroke, knows this well.

He’s the man behind the internet phenomenon, ‘Why My Kid Is Crying’, which has spawned two best-selling books and a thousand laughs around the world.

With classics such as ‘I broke his cheese in half’ and ‘the neighbour’s dog isn’t outside’, Pembroke’s hilarious blog by the same name absolutely nails kid logic – or lack of it.

Someone ate all the muffins. It was him.

He asked me to put the stickers on his face. I did.

He does not want to be safe near water.

I wouldn’t buy her the “dolly” movie for Christmas.

He couldn’t have ALL the trains at the museum.

I told him he doesn’t need sunscreen when it’s raining.

He finished his chicken nuggets. I offered to get him more.

He wasn’t allowed to electrocute himself.

We took her to a Justin Bieber concert.

She wouldn’t fit through the doggy door. Note the open door right next to her.

He put himself in time out… for no reason.

He met Bill Murray.

There was a hot dog hidden in his cornbread.

She dropped a receipt we got from the gas station.

The dog was in the way while he was trying to push the chair.

He can’t find his rubber ducky.

I won’t let him eat styrofoam.

She met the President.

Prince George’s best Royal impressions

He's known for his cheeky grin, rosy cheeks and mischievous antics, but Prince George's adorable traits had to come from somewhere.

He’s known for his cheeky grin, rosy cheeks and mischievous antics, but Prince George’s adorable traits had to come from somewhere.

And he certainly seems to be spending a bit of time with his equally cheeky uncle; there’s more than a passing resemblance to Prince George’s rough and tumble play and Prince Harry’s fun-loving nature.

From copy-catting the Queen to taking style cues from his father, it seems like the future King is on-track to pick up the very best from each of his rather famous family members.

Prince George struts his stuff in a near-identical ensemble to the one his father, Prince William, wore to the hospital on the day Prince Harry was born. The real question is, who wore it better?

Wonder where Prince George learned to do that? His cheeky moment was caught at the Trooping the Colour parade, mimicking his uncle Prince Harry doing the same thing more than 20 years earlier.

That rosy-cheeked, English rose complexion was an obvious inheritance from Prince George’s late grandmother, Princess Diana.

Prince George is following in Prince Harry’s footsteps – even down to the blue overalls situation.

The Royal wave! Prince George is learning from the best; Duchess Catherine shows the future King how it’s done.

Prince George knows how to style out a windswept-and-interesting moment, just like his grandfather Prince Charles.

But that cute-as-a-button grin definitely came from Queen Elizabeth. Looks like the young Royal is in good hands.

Just like Dad! Prince William’s mini-me

Be still our beating hearts.

When we first saw the pictures of Prince George accompanying his little sister to her christening this morning, the team at The Weekly thought we had been transported back to 1984.

From his little red shorts, to his smocked white shirt with red stitching, and even to his tiny buckled black shoes with white socks, Prince George bore an almost perfect resemblance to his father all the way back in 1984.

Although it wasn’t the exact same outfit – Kate bought George’s from her favourite babywear brand, Rachel Riley – it was a beautiful nod to history – and to William’s mother, Diana, who picked out that little red outfit in 1984.

But this certainly wasn’t the first time George has emulated his Dad – not even the second!

Both Kate and Wills have a sweet habit of dressing George just like his dad, and we’ve got the pictures to prove it.

Take a look at our absolute favourite look-a-like moments.

With both sporting that dashing red outfit, that blonde hair and that little scowl – we’re hard pressed to tell which is which!

For George’s very first Trooping the Colour, his parents picked out this blue number that William wore in 1985. How sweet.

And what about these little overalls?

With the exception of sailboats – these little smocked babysuits are pretty similar!

On their first royal visits, both William and George wore blue shorts with their buckled shoes.

And not to mention the famous Victorian gown that has been passed down since Queen Victoria.

Mum forced to give birth in toilet after being sent home by midwife

A first-time mum who's water had broken was sent home by a midwife who said she couldn't possibly be in labour two weeks before her due date.

A first-time mum was having contractions when an inexperienced midwife sent her home – forcing her to give birth to her child in a toilet.

Sophie Holmes, 28, was allegedly told her baby couldn’t possibly be coming two weeks early because her cervix was still closed, and that she should go home and have a hot bath.

An hour after she got back home in Essex, England, she was sitting on the toilet (where she felt most comfortable).

Then she looked down to see her baby’s head. Sophie quickly stood up and caught her newborn.

“The next thing I know my baby fell out and I managed to catch it within seconds,” she said.

“I’m just grateful I saved her, but furious at the hospital.”

“I had to have my baby alone in the bathroom and it could have gone down the toilet.”

Despite the location of the birth, baby Olivia was born healthy and well.

Sophie and her partner of 10 years, Dan, have now issued a formal complaint with Southend University Hospital.

“We shudder at the thought of what could have happened if I hadn’t caught her,” Sophie said.

“My baby was born in our bathroom, which is just ridiculous.”

The hospital has apologised and are investigating the case.

Denise Townsend, associate chief nurse at Southend University Hospital, said: “We are meeting with Ms Holmes so that we can discuss the concerns she has about the care she received during and after her labour and investigate accordingly.”

He spoke of the need for everyone to remove the stigma of getting tested, just as his mother would have done.

Prince Harry delivers his moving speech.

He went on to recall the powerful moment when Diana comforted a man who was dying of the horrific disease.

“When my mother held the hand of a man dying of AIDS in an East London hospital, no one would have imagined that just over a quarter of a century later treatment would exist that could see HIV-positive people live full, healthy, loving lives,” the 32-year-old Prince said.

The iconic moment when Princess Diana held the hands of a man infected with AIDS without a glove.

The royal met with many people who are trying to assist in stamping out the AIDS stigma.

“But thanks to the work of leaders in the fight against HIV – people like Nelson Mandela, Sir Elton John, the brave activists of TAG and ACT UP, people like Dr Peter Piot, and like my mother, Princess Diana – we have made huge progress.”

Just recently the young royal took an HIV test live on Facebook to show others how easy the process was.

Watch Prince Harry’s historic live Facebook video of the test below. Post continues!

Prince Harry signed a wall dedicated to eradicating the disease with the message “Get tested! Why wouldn’t you? Harry”.

Sir Elton John joined forces with the Prince for the landmark conference.

Also in attendance for the conference was musician and renowned HIV activist Sir Elton John.

The Candle in the Wind singer recently praised Prince Harry’s efforts in raising awareness of the disease.

“Bravo Prince Harry!” he said. “Your mother would be so proud of you.”

Man’s chilling discovery in attic

When Davis heard a rustling in the roof, he wasn’t expecting it to be THIS.
Man’s chilling discovery in attic

It’s not uncommon to hear noises that spook you in the night, but one America man heard a rustling in his roof that didn’t sound quite right.

“I hear rummaging around above me, which I know is the attic so I’m like, ‘That’s kind of weird’,” he told Komo News.

He noticed a light was on and when he went to open the door, it was locked.

So he knocked and a woman responded.

“Jimmy? Is that you, Jimmy?” the stranger replied.

“I’m like, ‘No, it’s not Jimmy. Who is this and why are you in my house?’”

“This is my house. I live here. I’ve been here for three days,” she said.

He then called police – who arrived 18 minutes later – before she got away.

Mr Wahlman told Komo News he doesn’t know how the stranger managed to get into his home.

He’s now changed the locks to his house.
