Jennifer Lopez's Stalker Spent Six Nights In Her Hamptons Home Undetected

Jennifer Lopez had an unexpected and uninvited guest stay in her Hamptons home.
John Dubis, a 49-year-old former fireman, allegedly settled into the guest house of J.Lo’s $10 million Water Mill home in early August for six days without being noticed by Lopez's security guards, reports the Southampton Patch. Dubis slept on a couch and parked his car out front in plain sight of her security, according to sources.
According to the New York Post, a Lopez employee finally spotted him and confronted him on Aug. 8. The accused stalker tried to claim he was the divorced singer’s husband and he told the police that he was the father of J.Lo's children, so she had been allowing him to stay in the pool house. He was taken in for psychiatric evaluation.

Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer to Retire Within a Year

Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer Microsoft shares are soaring this morning on the news that longtime CEO Steve Ballmer will retire within 12 months.

In a statement, Microsoft (MSFT) said that Ballmer will retire once the board finds a new chief executive to replace him. The search process will be overseen by a special committee appointed by the board of directors, and will include Microsoft chairman and former CEO Bill Gates.

"We have embarked on a new strategy with a new organization and we have an amazing Senior Leadership Team," said Ballmer in a statement. "My original thoughts on timing would have had my retirement happen in the middle of our company's transformation to a devices and services company. We need a CEO who will be here longer term for this new direction."

That "new strategy" refers to a restructuring announced by the company last month, which will include dividing the company into four primary engineering divisions.

That organization shake-up came in response to what's been an undeniably tumultuous period for the company, which missed the boat on mobile and tablets and has struggled to play catch-up. It's seen a chilly reception for Windows 8, the latest iteration of its flagship operating system. And sales of its tablet, the Surface, have likewise been disappointing, leading the company to make radical price cuts earlier this month.

And while it's kept its head above water on the strength of its Xbox and Office businesses, there are signs of danger ahead: Its next generation console, the Xbox One, didn't go over well with gamers when it was announced in the spring.

We put Ballmer on our list of endangered executives for 2013, and now it seems the company's struggles have finally caught up to him. Microsoft shares are already soaring on the news, opening the morning up 8 percent.

And much like Andrew Mason, who saw his holdings of Groupon stock soar in value upon his ouster from the company, Ballmer will also see a windfall from his retirement. According to one report, Ballmer has 333 million shares of Microsoft, so the share price bump resulting from his retirement has already made him about $840 million richer.
