(CNN) -- California Gov. Jerry Brown signed into law Sunday a bill that prevents local governments from banning the practice of male circumcision. The legislation comes in response to an effort this summer by a San Francisco Bay Area advocacy group opposed to the practice to get a measure proposing a citywide ban added to the November 8 city ballot. In July, a Superior Court judge ordered the proposed measure removed from the ballot, saying that male circumcision is "a widely practiced medical procedure" and that medical services are left to the regulation of the state, not individual cities. The legislation signed Sunday, which takes effect immediately, prohibits governments at the local or county level from "restricting the practice of male circumcision" and "declares that the laws affecting male circumcision must have uniform application throughout the state."

Tunnels under the U.S.-Mexico border are nothing new, but authorities spotted two smugglers taking a different approach this week: driving a Jeep over the 14-foot fence dividing the two countries. But the makeshift ramp the suspects propped up at the border near Yuma, Arizona, didn't work, officials said. U.S. Border Patrol agents patrolling the area saw the Jeep get stuck. It was left wedged atop the fence, and its drivers fled into Mexico, the patrol said in a statement. It was not immediately clear what the vehicle may have been carrying. "Suspects attempting to drive a vehicle over the border fence fell prey to their own devices," the statement said. Border Patrol agents confiscated the vehicle and the makeshift ramp.

(CNN)Reality star Farrah Abraham has nothing to hide, and that includes a lip augmentation procedure gone horribly wrong. The TV personality and adult film actress recently shared photos on Twitter of the procedure's results, which left her top lip egregiously swollen. "Girlfriends don't say I didn't warn ya!" the former "Teen Mom" captioned one of the images, throwing in the hashtag "#BOTCHED."

(CNN) -- Do not try this on your next vacation. Egyptian authorities cracked down on climbing the Pyramids at Giza in the 1980s, but that didn't stop adventurer Vitaliy Raskalov and his friends from dodging local guards this year to take a few very hard-to-get shots from atop the Great Pyramid. The Russian photographer said his motivation was simple: "We saw the old photographs of the Pyramids and decided to climb on it." He also said he wasn't aware of the risk and illegality, but reports that Raskalov's previous daredevil activities (skywalking on the Russky Island Bridge) landed him in custody suggest otherwise. But there's no denying that the photos from his latest illicit romp are spectacular. Is the photo better than the vacation? CNN's Steve Tuemmler contributed to this report.

Baghdad, Iraq (CNN) -- Car bombs targeting Shiite pilgrims killed at least 32 people and wounded 154 others south of Baghdad on Friday, an Interior Ministry official said. Police said two bombs blew up in quick succession in Karbala, where the pilgrims had congregated at the shrine of Imam Hussein.

In Baghdad, a roadside bomb exploded targeting Shiite pilgrims killed one person and wounded 15 others.
