And now it is time for our almost daily Amy Winehouse update. As you have no doubt heard by now, the severely troubled soul singer punched a fan during her Saturday performance in Glastonbury.
There are conflicting reports as to why and what may have happened. Some reports say a fan attempted to grope Winehouse’s breasts, others say someone tried to pull her signature beehive. There is also the possibility that Winehouse punched the wrong fan in retaliation. It’s really just another day at the office for the rapidly downward spiraling British …read more

A Georgia man was released from jail and started walking home. There was only one problem with that. He was naked. Or, as they say in the South, he was nekkid.
He was arrested again and charged with public indecency. When they release people from jail, they give them clothes. So what happened?
Apparently the man thought the clothes he was given were stolen. Huh? Wait, it gets better. The report said the man “appeared rational, except for being naked.”
Excuse us? We don’t think paranoia is considered part of the definition of rational. Because if he thought the clothes he was given …read more

You just have to ask yourself, why would anyone pay to be in a wedding? As it is, bridesmaids usually …read more

A Los Alamos, New Mexico man on Friday lost his bid to change his legal name to something protesting government regulation of free speech. His choice? F___ Censorship.
The man who wants to be known as Mr. Censorship was appealing in a state court after a state district judge refused the name change. The state appeals court said he can call himself whatever he wants as long as there’s no fraud or censorship. But the ruling says once he seeks court approval, his choice for a legal name can be turned down if it offends common decency and good taste.
So …read more

A Florida man was arrested for violating bond after he failed a drug test. Happens all the time, right? The man claims it was herbal tea that caused him to fail the test.
His mother had served him a Bolivian herbal tea called Mate de Coca. It’s made from the coca plant. Yes, he tested positive for cocaine. But since he’d never been up on drug charges before, the judge released him from jail.
So let’s see, we shouldn’t eat poppy seeds because it will test positive for heroin. And now we shouldn’t drink Mate …read more

A woman found a package containing a brand new hand grenade – in her suburban back yard. It belonged to the Army, and Canadian military and police are investigating. You think?

She’s carrying the thing and they don’t want to touch it. “Uh, lady, why don’t you just gently place it on the lawn and carefully back away. Don’t drop it!”
The bomb squad figured out that it was a grenade …read more

Ever gotten a speeding ticket? Ever gotten more than one ticket at a time? Ever gotten 22 tickets in 45 days? A Nevada woman did while staying at her parents’ house in Arizona. Apparently all 22 are on photo enforcement camera, with the woman’s top speed being 92 mph.
Sheesh-a-peesh, is there a record or something? And if there is a ticket record I would hope that’s it. The Arizona Department of Public Safety arrested her Friday on suspicion of criminal speeding, reckless driving and endangerment. The frightening part is how many times she’s probably sped without getting caught. I …read more

Brazilian prison officials couldn’t figure out how the heck drugs and cell phones were getting into a prison. They had high-tech security. Screenings. But still the items found their way in. And one day they figured out why.
Guards spotted some pigeons having trouble flying. They checked it out. Oh, look! Little bitty cell phone pouches!
The pigeons live on the jail’s roof and have been trained by the inmates, apparently. That’s one way to circumvent the new security. Go about it the old fashioned way – they’ll never suspect anything. And they would’ve gotten away with it if it weren’t for …read more

Athletes have some strange injuries from time to time. Nolan Ryan once hurt his back pulling on his cowboy boots. Recently, Denver Broncos wide receiver Brandon Marshall said he slipped on a McDonald’s wrapper and put his arm through a TV. But this one may trump them all.
Detroit Tigers catcher Brandon Inge just went on the disabled list retroactive to June 23 with a pulled oblique muscle he hurt Monday moving a pillow for his three-year-old kid. We couldn’t make this stuff up, folks. The Tigers notoriously old school manager …read more
