Spanish woman earns world record for collection of 15,485 egg cups
July 7 (UPI) -- A Spanish woman who has been collecting egg cups for over 50 years earned a Guinness World Record when her collection was tallied at 15,485 items.
María José Fuster recruited two witnesses to help her tally her collection at a community center in her hometown of Campo, Spain.
Fuster's collection includes multiple patterns, colors, designs and even novelty cups bearing the images of characters including Superman, Betty Boop and Garfield.
Fuster maintains two blogs related to her hobby -- one to catalog each piece, and one to list the names of the people who have donated egg cups to her collection.
Some of her most prized egg cups, about 1,143 of them, are currently on display at a local museum.

A piece of California music history is coming back up for sale — and it really rocks. The late Tom Petty's Malibu estate is hitting the market for $15.49 million, Gimme Shelter has learned. That price marks a listing discount. In the summer of 2024, news broke that the property was set to list for $19 million with another brokerage. Petty — the singer, songwriter and guitarist — was known for his timeless, and masterful, rock anthems like 'Free Fallin'' and 'I Won't Back Down.'

1 of 3 | Denise Richards (L) and Aaron Phypers have split. Phypers filed for divorce Monday after 6 years of marriage. File Photo by Greg Grudt/UPI | License Photo July 8 (UPI) -- Actress and former Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star Denise Richards and her husband Aaron Phypers are getting divorced. People reported Phypers filed for divorce Monday after 6 years of marriage, noting the split resulted from "irreconcilable differences." The couple met when Richards sought "preventative DNA repair" at Phypers' Malibu business, which has since closed, in 2017. They married in 2018, and recently talked about divorce in an episode of the Bravo reality series Denise Richards & Her Wild Things. "I'll never get divorced, even if we hate each other," Richards said, per People. Phypers is seeking spousal support. The divorce paperwork states Richards makes approximately $250,000 a month, according to E! News. Richards has two daughters, Sami Sheen and Lola Sheen, with her ex-husband Charlie Sheen, and adopted her daughter Eloise in 2011. Today said Phypers' divorce filing is a petition for "a dissolution of marriage without minor children," despite previous plans for Phypers to adopt Eloise as his daughter with Richards. Richards has not commented on the filing.

Home burglary nixes Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow's Batmobile purchase
1 of 5 | Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow was the victim of a home burglary in December in Cincinnati. File Photo by Bonnie Cash/UPI | License Photo July 8 (UPI) -- Joe Burrow canceled his widely-publicized Batmobile purchase because of his December home burglary, the Cincinnati Bengals quarterback said on the new season of Netflix's Quarterback, released Tuesday. "I didn't end up getting the Batmobile because I just had other things I wanted to deal with at that point," Burrow said on the sixth episode of the second season of the show. Burrow, 28, revealed during a practice last year that he purchased one of 10 Batmobiles -- sold for nearly $3 million -- manufactured for home use. The Bengals star's revelation of the planned purchase was chronicled on HBO's Hard Knocks. The 5,511-pound replicas of the famous vehicle feature 525-horsepower engines, paddle shifters, imitation gun turrets, a smoke screen delivery system and jet engine simulation. They are made from frame-tubular aeronautical steel, Kevlar, carbon fiber and sheet metal fiberglass. JOE BURROW KIRK COUSINS JARED GOFF Quarterback Season 2 premieres July 8. Netflix (@netflix) June 23, 2025 Burrow also revealed on Quarterback that he tries to maintain a certain level of privacy in his life and considered moving after the burglary. He said now that the world knows where he lives, it "hasn't been very fun to deal with." "When you are on cloud nine, something is going to bring you right back down," Burrow said. "That just felt like the kind of year that it was." Burrow's home burglary occurred while the Bengals were in Dallas for a Monday Night Football game against the Dallas Cowboys. Thieves took more than $300,000 worth of jewelry and other items. Several men were arrested and indicted for federal crimes earlier this year for their roles in the burglary. "They got all my jewelry, but they could have stolen way worse things than that," Burrow told former Bengals defensive coordinator Lou Anarumo in an exchanged filmed on Quarterback. "I'm not going crazy about some jewelry. It was expensive, but it was all insured." Burrow signed a five-year, $275 million pact with the Bengals in 2023. "My life is very public," Burrow said. "And it comes with the job, but there are certain parts of your life that are like, yours. Your house is one of those. When that gets violated, people find out where you live and all these different things. "Not everybody's failures at their job are in front of the whole world. It's a very vulnerable position to be in. I put myself in that position because I love it. I don't like the other part of it."
