Carlee Russell has confessed that the kidnapping that had many across the world praying for her safe return was…a hoax.

As reported, the Hoover, Alabama native disappeared on the night of July 13 after calling the police and claiming that she witnessed an abandoned toddler wandering alone on the interstate.

Responding officers found Russell’s wig and phone, igniting a mass search for the seemingly “missing” victim – as well as the child she alleged to have seen.

The first dramatic turn occurred when the 25-year-old returned to her parent’s home on July 15 and the second when Hoover Police gave a press conference that appeared to cast a huge cloud of doubt over the feasibility of her story.

Now, Russell herself is admitting that she made up the entire episode and is now facing possible criminal charges.

As one of the greatest and most successful artists of all time, Diana Ross has delivered many memorable moments over the course of her illustrious career. However, few can rival the colossal spectacle that was her iconic concert at Central Park in 1983.

A seismic celebration of a talent and a hit catalog like no other, the performance served as an emphatic exclamation mark of the legend Ross already was at the time.

800,000 (yes, eight hundred thousand) revelers packed into Central Park and braved turbulent weather to watch The Boss blaze the stage like only she can.

Rocking the house with a set that fused solo smashes and hits from The Supremes’ reign, the diva dazzled from the onset with a stunning showing of ‘I’m Coming Out.’

And while the performance was cut short by a storm, nothing could quell the hurricane that was The Boss.

Here’s toasting the 40th anniversary of a legendary showing from one of the most legendary talents to ever grace the stage.
