A man who surrendered to Miramar, Fla., police on Friday and is connected with the Odin Lloyd murder case was denied bond this morning, according to a report.

The Sun-Sentinel reported that Ernest Wallace, 41, appeared before a judge Saturday morning and was denied bond.

Wallace's attorney said Friday that his client would waive any rendition proceedings and would return to Massachusetts to face charges in the case.

Former Patriots tight end Aaron Hernandez is being held in the Bristol County jail after being charged Wednesday with first-degree murder and a number of weapons violations. A second suspect, Carlos Ortiz, was arrested earlier this week by Connecticut authorities and appeared in a Massachusetts court room on Friday.

Thought Americans had it good? Guess what? The United States didn't even make this list of the five countries whose workers get the most paid vacation time.

All of the countries on the list are located in Europe and amount of paid time off ranges from 31 days to 35 days.

AOL has spent the past two days auditioning new anchors for its online live show. To make the auditions more interesting, they were all live streamed for Internet users to watch and vote on. Here is a compilation of the most hilarious moments:

Alec Baldwin went on yet another Twitter rant yesterday. His wife, Hilaria, was reportedly tweeting during James Gandolfini's funeral yesterday, according to the Daily Mail. Baldwin took to Twitter last night to harass the reporter of the story, George Stark. His Twitter account was deleted shortly after the posts went up, but Gawker captured them before they were taken down.

Hilaria Baldwin also Tweeted about the article and her husband's response last night.

My husband fights for me fiercely. It hurts to be misunderstood and it hurts to see your loved one in pain-even more so when she is pregnant

— Hilaria Baldwin (@hilariabaldwin) June 28, 2013

I hope that this reporter knows how much pain and drama he has caused from his poor journalism. Lying and bullying are shameful.

This week's The New Yorker cover illustration by artist Jack Hunter was created in honor of the Supreme Court's decision to strike down the Defense of Marriage Act.

Former Celtics and new Clippers head coach Doc Rivers was asked for a response to ESPN personality and "Boston Sports Guy" Bill Simmons's claim that Rivers quit on the Celtics. Rivers shot back by saying, "I would like to call him an idiot, but I'm too classy for that."

Rivers went on to say that Simmons, "Really needs to know the whole truth, which he doesn't." Simmons got an immediate chance to respond saying that "the truth keeps changing", referencing the conflicting accounts by Celtics GM Danny Ainge and Rivers of how the trade went down.

Jeremiah Rivers, Doc's son and a guard in the D-League, went after Simmons on Twitter last night.

@BillSimmons @espn My father has never quit anything in his life. He now has an NBA Championship, and helped in rejuvenating the Celtics.

— Jeremiah Rivers (@JRivers25) June 28, 2013

@BillSimmons @espn Your the same guy who was trying to run my dad out of town when it seemed like the Celtics were down and out.

— Jeremiah Rivers (@JRivers25) June 28, 2013

@BillSimmons @espn Then you praised him like GOD himself when he helped turn things around. Where is your loyalty.

— Jeremiah Rivers (@JRivers25) June 28, 2013

@BillSimmons @espn You know nothing about winning, about sacrifice, and being a champion. You sit behind a desk and pick on people.

— Jeremiah Rivers (@JRivers25) June 28, 2013

@BillSimmons @espn .You are a Internet bully. There is a reason nobody will side with you. They like my dad better than you.

— Jeremiah Rivers (@JRivers25) June 28, 2013

@BillSimmons @espn If you don’t have all the facts, which you clearly DON’T, I suggest you sit down and shut up. Good day sir.

— Jeremiah Rivers (@JRivers25) June 28, 2013

Simmons Tweeted a joke about Jeremiah Rivers's posts this morning

When I get home I'm signing up my 5 and a half year old son for Twitter so he can defend me against Doc Rivers' kids.

In a full-page ad appearing in Friday's edition of The Boston Globe, the Chicago Blackhawks shared an open letter to the people of Boston and the Boston Bruins - the team they defeated to win the Stanley Cup.

The letter, signed by Rocky Wirtz, chairman of the Wirtz Corporation, and John McDonough, president and CEO of the Blackhawks, thanked Boston for what happened on and off the ice during the recent Stanley Cup Final. In particular the letter thanked the citizens of Boston for the respect and good sportsmanship they showed to visitors from Chicago during the series.

In a touching reference to April's bombings during the Boston Marathon, the letter reads:

"Like the rest of the world, Chicagoans have been reminded in recent days of Boston's strength. Please know we tip our hat to your city's big heart and gracious spirit. You lead by example and have set the bar very high for others to follow."

Alongside yesterday's two Supreme Court rulings that struck down the Defense of Marriage Act and cleared the way for gay marriages to resume in California, Google celebrated with a rainbow-colored search bar.

San Francisco chose to celebrate by lighting City Hall the colors of the rainbow.

Though the decision marks the end of a five-year legal battle in California, gay couples in the state may have to wait for marriage licenses, as backers of the Proposition 8 gay marriage ban have 25 days to ask the Supreme Court to reconsider its decision.

Michelle Obama announced her presence on Instagram with a photo taken during her visit to an all-girls school in Senegal, Africa, a stop she made with her daughters, Malia and Sasha.

Though the account is run by the Office of the First Lady, posts directly from Michelle Obama, such as this one, are signed "-mo".

Mrs. Obama and her daughters, pictured on the left side of the photo, are with President Barack Obama for official visits to Senegal, South Africa, and Tanzania.

Singer, songwriter, and actress Bonnie McKee reached out to singers, songwriters, actors, and basically every recognizable face imaginable to appear in the video for her latest song, "American Girl".

Standouts include KISS in full makeup lip syncing the words, Macklemore singing and dancing in a bathtub, and the inimitable George Takei bopping his head to the pop tune.

Other artists to grace McKee's video include Kathy Griffin, Katy Perry, Ke$ha, Joan Rivers, Jewel, Adam Lambert, Tommy Lee, and Carly Rae Jepsen.

New England Patriots tight end Aaron Hernandez made his first appearance in court shortly after he was arrested and charged with killing a friend, Odin Lloyd a few days after they got into a dispute at a nightclub.

President Barack Obama issued a statement applauding the Supreme Court's decision to strike down the Defense of Marriage Act, saying the "country is better off for it."

He also issued a private statement via a phone call to plaintiffs in the case, including Kris Perry and Sandy Stier, offering them congratulations for their work.

The court's 5-4 ruling deemed the 1996 law unconstitutional under the equal protection clause and the opinion said the power to regulate marriage belonged to the states, not the federal government.

Join Boston Globe reporters Mark Arsenault and Shalise Manza Young at 3 p.m. as they answer your questions on the arrest of Aaron Hernandez, formerly of the Patriots.

In the last few weeks, a number of jewelry thefts occurred across the country. Though the value of stolen goods amounted to more than $1 million, these thieves were not exactly cat burglars. Rather, they walked right in, grabbed the goods, and walked right out.

A group of thieves walked into a store in Atlanta, pulled out hammers to smash a glass display case, and fled with close to $1 million of jewelry.

In Hingham, Mass., a man stole a $4,000 ring out of the hand of a Kohl's employee.

And in New York, a well-dressed man entered a Tiffany's store, where he snatched two necklaces worth almost $100,000 directly off the counter, then turned and walked right out the door.

Judges for "America's Got Talent" got a huge surprise when Aaralyn O'Neil and her brother Isaiah took to the stage to perform an original song. The 6-year-old girl looked sweet and charming, yet the sounds she emitted were anything but.

The judges were divided in their reactions, with former spice girl Mel B saying "Scary Spice is officially scared," but the young rockers impressed enough to advance to the next round in Las Vegas.

New England Patriots tight end Aaron Hernandez was taken from his home in handcuffs Wednesday.

The Supreme Court struck down the Defense of Marriage Act, making way for married gay couples to be eligible for federal benefits. The court also cleared the way for same-sex marriage in California by holding that defenders of California’s gay marriage ban, known as Prop 8, did not have the right to appeal lower court rulings striking down the ban.

Google recognized these decisions in its search bar:

FOXBOROUGH, Mass. – The New England Patriots have announced the release of tight end Aaron Hernandez following his arrest in the investigation of a homicide last week in North Attleboro, Mass.

The New England Patriots issued the following statement: “A young man was murdered last week and we extend our sympathies to the family and friends who mourn his loss.

We realize that law enforcement investigations into this matter are ongoing. We support their efforts and respect the process. At this time, we believe this transaction is simply the right thing to do.”

New England Patriots tight end Aaron Hernandez was taken into custody this morning by state and North Attleborough police shortly before 9 a.m.

The NFL made a statement as well, saying "the involvement of an NFL player in a case of this nature is deeply troubling. The Patriots have released Aaron Hernandez, who will have his day in court. At the same time, we should not forget the young man who was the victim in this case and take this opportunity to extend our deepest sympathy to Odin Lloyd's family and friends."

Mother of murder victim Odin Lloyd tells reporters that, right now, family has "nothing to say" about #Hernandez arrest.
