Apparently Newt Gingrich was never taught not to pet animals at the zoo!

During a visit to the St. Louis Zoo on Friday, the Republican presidential contender and animal lover paid a visit to the penguins, getting a little too close for comfort to one of the flightless birds– and RadarOnline.com has the details.

Gingrich was visiting the zoo’s penguin collection on a private tour, when one of their two Magellanic penguins bit his finger.

With their busy schedules of debates and public appearances, the Republican presidential candidates have hardly had any time recently to spend relaxing in their homes or kicking back on their couches, and by the end of the year one fortunate Presidential wannabe may be moving  into 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue.

While they battle it out on the campaign trail to determine who lives at the White House for the next four years, RadarOnline.com has photos inside the current homes of the front runners, thanks to our friends at Zillow.com.

Newt Gingrich has called McLean, Virginia "home sweet home" since 2000, when he bought a 5-bedroom, 5-bath Colonial style house for $995,000. Located just 10 miles away from the coveted White House, Gingrich's moving vans won't have far to go if he wins the top job.

UPDATE: Sharon Bialek leveled serious accusations against Herman Cain at her press conference Monday, saying he “Suddenly reached over and put his hand on my leg, under my skirt and reached for my genitals,” and “He also grabbed my head and pulled it towards his crotch.”

Bialek said she asked why he was doing this and Cain told her “You want a job, right?” She says she is not seeking financial compensation and wants Cain to admit what he did.  Cain released a statement calling denying the accusations and saying they were “bogus attacks.”

Gloria Allred said “Mr. Cain decided to provide her with his idea of a stimulus package.”

Sharon Bialk of Chicago stepped forward Monday accusing presidential hopeful Herman Cain of sexually harassing her while he was president of the National Restaurant Association in the 1990s – she is the fourth woman to  come forward with similar allegations. She’s speaking right  now at a news conference with her powerhouse attorney Gloria Allred  in New York City, and RadarOnline.com is live streaming it.

The embattled GOP nominee has admitted that several women who worked at the National Restaurant Association during his tenure as president of the organization received settlements. Politico has reported that the settlements were given because of sexual harassment allegations.
