A couple of weeks ago we told you that soccer legend Diego Maradona had been admitted to a Buenos Aires hospital for acute hepatitis, a result of heavy alcohol consumption. Now his doctors are saying that La mano de Dios can leave the hospital, but will have to check into a psychiatric facility to continue his treatment, something that it seems Maradona does not want to do. According to his physician:
“He’s more communicative. He’s accepting things and is aware of the seriousness of his current state, but we are still trying to convince him that he needs to go to a psychiatric clinic. He can’t be convinced in one day, as he’s very “special”, said Cahe.

Picture this, a palm tree in the background, a drink in my hand, and Calle 13 next to me. This was no dream, this was the album release party for Calle 13′s sophomore effort held last night at the Chelsea, NYC lounge Stereo. The fieston, sponsored by Latina Magazine, celebrated Residente o Visitante featuring Tango del Pecado and la Crema. The video for Tango del Pecado looped on a big screen at last night’s party. Both Residente y Visitante ( René Pérez y Eduardo Cabra) were gracious and patient. Be sure to pick up their new album which drops officially on April 24. More pics after the jump.

West Hazleton, Pennsylvania has denied a marriage license to an undocumented immigrant who was looking to wed his partner, an American national this week. The ACLU has filed a federal suit on behalf of the couple, stating in a press release:
“This marriage is legal under the law of Pennsylvania and the federal immigration laws,” said Mary Catherine Roper, a staff attorney for the ACLU of Pennsylvania. “The Register of Wills is supposed to issue marriage licenses according to Pennsylvania’s marriage law, not to challenge that law or federal immigration law. Ms. Stankovic has no authority to interfere in people’s lives this way.”
The abovementioned “Ms. Stankovic” (love the name) is the county’s Register of Wills who denied the couple the license.
