Damn Hungry

Cops said an irate man crawled out of his car and into the drive-thru window of a McDonald's in New Jersey just to get his hands on a Filet-O-Fish sandwich.

"His Filet-O-Fish was taking too long at 4:30 in the morning," South Brunswick Police Detective Sergeant James Ryan told NBCNewYork.com.

Ryan said the customer yelled at the employee and pushed him up against the counter, before attacking him. "After he slaps him, he takes his food," Ryan said.

Ryan said the customer then threatened the worker by telling him: "I'll be waiting for you when you get off work."

The police report said the suspect -- who has not been identified by police -- "walked out of the store with his fish filet sandwich," went to his car, parked in the drive thru lane, and left.

Ironically, the Filet-O-Fish has been the theme of a popular McDonald's TV commercial running over the past six weeks where a plastic fish mounted on a wall sings, "Gimme that Filet-O-Fish, give me that fish," while a man takes bites out of the sandwich.

Hot Foot

A Swedish tourist was killed Wednesday when he fell 490 feet into the crater of Mount Batur, an active volcano on the Indonesian tourist island of Bali, local police said.

The 25-year-old man slipped as he tried to peer into the crater after a dawn trek to the summit, which climbs to 5,600 feet, on the northeastern side of the island, police added.

"He was looking into the crater, slipped and fell," local police chief Made Oka told AFP.

He said emergency responders were at the scene and were trying to recover the tourist's body using ropes. Police were unable to provide the man's name.

Mount Batur is easy to climb compared to some other volcanoes in Indonesia and is popular with day-trippers on Bali.

Nothin' But Net

She Works Hard For The Money

The Republican National Committee staffer who was fired Monday for coordinating the use of donor money to pay the $2,000 tab at a California strip club was warned ahead of time that the party would not cover such expenses, the RNC chief of staff said in a letter to members.

The bill for a trip to the Voyeur West Hollywood -- a bondage-themed nightclub where topless dancers imitate lesbian sex -- showed up on a monthly disclosure report to the Federal Election Commission.

RNC Chief of Staff Ken McKay wrote in a letter Tuesday that the donor who was reimbursed for the expense, Erik Brown, has "verbally agreed" to repay the money to the national party.

But it was the RNC staff member who submitted the original request for the reimbursement who got in trouble with the RNC.

McKay said in the letter that the staff member "was aware that this activity was not eligible for reimbursement and had been previously counseled on this very subject."

McKay said "a group of individuals" attended the club after a "Young Eagles" donor event in Los Angeles, but that "this was not an RNC sanctioned event and was not associated in any way with any RNC official event."

A New LEAF

Nissan announced Tuesday that it will sell its upcoming electric car, the LEAF, for $32,780. After a federal tax credit of $7,500 that is available to all buyers, the five-door hatchback will cost just $25,280, several thousand dollars less than the average transaction price of a car sold in the United States.

When it goes on sale in late 2010, the LEAF is expected to be the only all-electric five-passenger car from a major manufacturer that is capable of being driven on the highway. As a pure-electric vehicle, the LEAF will have range of just 100 miles per charge, limited by the size and expense of the lithium-ion battery pack. On a 220-volt outlet, a full charge takes about eight hours, but Nissan says that an available quick charger can replenish the batteries to 80% capacity in about 30 minutes.

Nissan will begin taking reservations for the LEAF on April 20th, which will initially be imported from Japan before production starts at the company's plant in Smyrna, Tennessee in 2012. Worldwide production is expected to reach 200,000 units per year by 2013.

And if twenty-five grand still seems a little steep for you, you might want to consider moving to California where a state tax rebate knocks an additional $5,000 off of the bottom line, bringing the grand total to $20,280, cheaper than any hybrid vehicle currently on sale.

Boob Job

An Orange County woman's new breasts cost her six months in jail.

Yvonne Jean Pampellonne was sentenced Monday in Westminster for using a fraudulent line of credit to obtain $12,000 in cosmetic surgery, including breast implants and liposuction.

The 30-year-old Laguna Niguel woman had pleaded guilty to burglary, grand theft and identity theft. She was sentenced to 180 days in jail and was placed on three years' probation. Restitution was also ordered by the Westminster judge, but the amount wasn't immediately clear.

Pampellonne used a line of credit established in another person's name to get the September 2008 procedures at the Pacific Center for Plastic Surgery in Huntington Beach.

Smart Face

Ohio police found their jobs made a little bit easier Monday after a chase ended with a suspect unwittingly fleeing straight into a prison.

Ricky Flowers, 20, was stopped by police while driving with a suspended license, but fled the scene and led officers on a high-speed car chase through the Cleveland area, Garfield Heights Police Department told Fox 8 News.

Flowers abandoned the vehicle, took off on foot and scaled a 30-foot fence to seek refuge on the other side -- only to realize he had landed directly in the yard of a women's prison, police told the station.

Police used stun guns to arrest three passengers who also fled from the car, the station reported.

Puddin' Caper

An elderly Long Island husband and wife were busted yesterday for tampering with boxes of Jell-O pudding -- replacing the contents with sand and salt and then returning them to stores for the $1.40-a-pop refund, officials said.

Alexander Clement, 68, and his wife, Christine Clement, 64, of East Northport disposed of the evidence afterward -- by cooking up and eating the contents of the boxes they had emptied, authorities said. Their puddings of choice? Pistachio and butterscotch.

Police said the couple struck four stores a total of five times. Christine would buy about 10 boxes each time. Her hubby was the driver.

When the pair got home, she allegedly would empty the boxes' contents and replace them with plastic sandwich bags filled with the sand and salt.

After resealing the boxes, her husband would drive her back to the stores, where she would return them for a refund, police said. The scheme fell apart after a customer who bought one of the resealed boxes complained. Police traced the boxes back to the Clements.

But authorities said the couple -- who are well-off and have been married 40 years -- is more to be pitied. Christine Clement is suffering from "an age-related mental issue," police said.

"This was a bizarre story to begin with, and it just got worse when we found out what happened. It's sad," said Suffolk Police Lt. Michael Murphy.

"These aren't bad people. They never had any problems before. It was a complete aberration. They are very apologetic."

Party Pittsburgh

More nightclub problems for the Pittsburgh Steelers -- this time one of their best wide receivers is accused of attacking a woman with a glass and slicing her face open.

The man at the center of the drama is Santonio Holmes -- former Super Bowl MVP.

According to a new lawsuit filed last week in Florida, Holmes got into a verbal spat with a woman at Rain Nightclub in Orlando on March 7 over a spot on a couch in the VIP section.

According to the docs, the woman says Holmes began going crazy when she refused to move -- so he fired his glass full of liquor at her face ... causing a "laceration" very close to her eye.

Here's where it gets even crazier. The woman claims she flagged down cops from the Orlando PD but they, along with Santonio, "pressured" her not to press charges.

The woman claims Santonio even offered her money because "he was an NFL star and could not get into trouble."

The Door To The Afterlife

Archaeologists have unearthed a 3,500-year-old door to the afterlife from the tomb of a high-ranking Egyptian official near Karnak temple in Luxor, the Egyptian antiquities authority said Monday.

These recessed niches found in nearly all ancient Egyptian tombs were meant to take the spirits of the dead to and from the afterworld. The nearly six-foot- tall slab of pink granite was covered with religious texts.

The door came from the tomb of User, the chief minister of Queen Hatshepsut, a powerful, long ruling 15th century B.C. queen from the New Kingdom with a famous mortuary temple near Luxor in southern Egypt. User held the position of vizier for 20 years, also acquiring the titles of prince and mayor of the city, according to the inscriptions. He may have inherited his position from his father.

Viziers in ancient Egypt were powerful officials tasked with the day-to-day running of the kingdom's complex bureaucracy. As a testament to his importance, User had his own tomb on the west bank of the Nile in Luxor, where royal kings and queens were also buried. A chapel dedicated to him has also been discovered further south in the hills near Aswan.

Volcanic Sea

Europe's largest undersea volcano could disintegrate and unleash a tsunami that would engulf southern Italy "at any time,” a prominent vulcanologist warned in an interview published Monday.

The Marsili volcano, which is bursting with magma, has "fragile walls" that could collapse, Enzo Boschi told the leading daily Corriere della Sera.

"It could even happen tomorrow," said Boschi, president of the National Institute of Geophysics and Volcanology (INGV).

"Our latest research shows that the volcano is not structurally solid, its walls are fragile, the magma chamber is of sizable dimensions," he said. "All that tells us that the volcano is active and could begin erupting at any time."

The event would result in "a strong tsunami that could strike the coasts of Campania, Calabria and Sicily," Boschi said.

The undersea Marsili, 9,800 feet tall and located some 90 miles southwest of Naples, has not erupted since the start of recorded history. It is 44 miles long and 19 miles wide, and its crater is about a quarter mile below the surface of the Tyrrhenian Sea.

Facebook Fights Back

The social-networking giant wants to set the record straight: "Facebook is no more responsible for STD transmission than newspapers are responsible for bad vision."

Cases of syphilis have increased four-fold in Britain thanks to Facebook, argued a U.K. professor, as users meet up for unprotected sex. When representatives for the massive social-network site read the assertions by Professor Peter Kelly, director of Public Health for U.K. agency NHS Tees, they were outraged, quickly issuing a terse statement denying the connection.

"The assertion that Facebook is responsible for the transmission of STDs is ridiculous," read teh statement by the social network. "Facebook is no more responsible for STD transmission than newspapers are responsible for bad vision."

In a further expansion to news site Techcrunch, spokesman Andrew Noyes wrote that "while it makes for interesting headlines, the assertions made in newspaper reports that Facebook is responsible for the transmission of STDs are ridiculous, exaggerate the comments made by the professor, and ignore the difference between correlation and causation."

Noyes noted, "As Facebook’s more than 400 million users know, our Web site is not a place to meet people for casual sex -- it’s a place for friends, family and coworkers to connect and share."

Dough Nation

Police say a Somerset County man accused of stealing more than $33,000 that was donated to his son after a deadly fire used some of the money to pay for escorts.

Tubal Eduardo is charged with theft by failure to make a required disposition of funds.

Eduardo and his 4-year-old son, Noah, survived a fire that killed his 31-year-old girlfriend and two of her children in Manville in 2007.

The school where Tubal Jr. attended kindergarten collected more than $38,350 for him.

During his trial on Thursday, a detective said Eduardo used $7,100 on an escort service. Eduardo's attorney said he used his son's money to pay fines, living expenses and to buy a car.

Octomom Accepts Offer! (No, Not That One...)

Just because Nadya Suleman's an octomom doesn't mean she wants your dog or cat to become one, too.

Her lawyer said Wednesday that Suleman, who is fighting to keep her house from foreclosure, has agreed to allow People For the Ethical Treatment of Animals to put a sign in her front yard proclaiming, "Don't Let Your Dog or Cat Become an Octomom. Always Spay or Neuter."

PETA says it offered Suleman $5,000 and a month's supply of veggie burgers and hot dogs in exchange for placing the sign in front of her house in La Habra.

Suleman's lawyer, Jeff Czech, said his client has accepted the offer. Meanwhile, Czech said, he is negotiating to refinance a $450,000 balloon payment on her home that was due two weeks ago.

Going Viral

Cases of syphilis have increased four-fold in Britain's Facebook capital as users meet up for unprotected sex, it was revealed yesterday.

Professor Peter Kelly, director of Public Health for NHS Tees, said: "There has been a four-fold increase in the number of syphilis cases detected, with more young women being affected."

He said staff had found a link to social networking sites among those infected.

Prof Kelly said: "I don't get the names of people affected, just figures. And I saw that several of the people had met sexual partners through these sites.

"Social networking sites are making it easier for people to meet up for casual sex. There is a rise in syphilis because people are having more sexual partners than 20 years ago and often do not use condoms."

Syphilis cases in Britain fell due to the widespread use of condoms in the 1980s and '90s. It can cause serious heart, respiratory tract and central nervous system damage. But Health Protection Agency figures revealed there were 4,000 cases nationwide last year.

Fuck The SAT!

Partying all night before a big test might not be as bad as your parents said, according to a Boston University School of Public Health study released Tuesday.

The study showed that students’ performance on tests was not at all affected after late-night binge drinking the night before, the Daily Free Press reported.

The 193 students that participated in the study were given non-alcoholic or alcoholic beverages over a four-day period. Those given alcohol drank until their blood alcohol level was 0.12 -- roughly the equivalent of five drinks for a 200-pound adult. The following morning all of the participants took a practice Graduate Record Exam, and a mock quiz on a lecture given the previous day.

Both the students who drank alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages received similar high scores on the tests.

Jonathan Howland, BU professor and coordinator of the study, which was conducted in partnership with Brown University, said the original purpose of the study was to try to persuade students that binge drinking before an exam was a bad idea, but the results proved otherwise.

“The message is not that binge drinking doesn’t affect academic performance,” Howland said. “It’s that we looked at one aspect of academic performance and we didn’t see anything. We’re not saying that drinking doesn’t affect academic performance; we’re saying that it didn’t affect [test-taking].”

Bleach Bomb

A British hairdresser died after her cigarette ignited a leaking bottle of hydrogen peroxide bleach which then blew up in her car as she drove along a quiet country lane, the Bournemouth Echo reported Thursday.

Jennie Mitchell's grieving father Bob urged hairdressers to show extreme caution when carrying the hydrogen peroxide, a powerful bleach used to lighten hair when mixed with ammonia.

"The hydrogen peroxide had ventilated in the car. She opened the window, which introduced oxygen," he said.

"Jennie was a smoker and it’s likely that she lit or had a lit a cigarette.

“Until the accident, nobody knew this could happen. We keep saying, you couldn’t have written this in a script.”

"We want to warn people how volatile hydrogen peroxide is, even if it is kept in the boot of a car. Jennie’s friends have all said they carry it," added her mother Pauline Mitchell.

Can I Get Your Digits?

A 6-year-old boy from China, who was born with 5 extra fingers and 6 extra toes, has undergone an operation to remove his extra digits, the Daily Mail reported. If you do the math – that’s 31 fingers and toes.

The unnamed child suffered from a condition known as polydactyly, in which a person has more than five fingers per hand and five toes per foot. This condition can occur on its own without any other symptoms or underlying disease, according to the National Institutes of Health, or may be inherited.

In this case, the boy appeared to have central polydactyly, where an extra digit of a long or ring finger is concealed in a web between the adjoining normal fingers.

The boy’s mother said he has been ridiculed all his life because of the malformation, but thanks to a six hour surgery at a hospital in Shenyang, China, doctors were able to remove the extra toes and fingers.

Herb

When California voters head to the polls in November, they will decide whether the state will make history again -- this time by legalizing the recreational use of marijuana for adults.

The state was the first to legalize medicinal marijuana use, with voters passing it in 1996. Since then, 14 states have followed California's lead, even though marijuana remains illegal under federal law.

"This is a watershed moment in the decades-long struggle to end failed marijuana prohibition in this country," said Stephen Gutwillig, California director for the Drug Policy Alliance. "We really can't overstate the significance of Californians being the first to have the opportunity to end this public policy disaster."

California is not alone in the push to expand legal use of marijuana. Legislators in Rhode Island, another state hit hard by the economic downturn, are considering a plan to decriminalize possession of an ounce or less by anyone 18 or older.

A proposal to legalize the sale and use of marijuana in Washington was recently defeated in that state's legislature, though lawmakers there did expand the pool of medical professionals that could prescribe the drug for medicinal use.

And a group in Nevada is pushing an initiative that marks the state's fourth attempt in a decade to legalize the drug.

The initiative would allow those 21 years and older to possess up to one ounce of marijuana, enough to roll dozens of marijuana cigarettes. Residents also could grow their own crop of the plant in gardens measuring up to 25 square feet.

The proposal would ban users from ingesting marijuana in public or smoking it while minors are present. It also would make it illegal to possess the drug on school grounds or drive while under its influence.

Local governments would decide whether to permit and tax marijuana sales. Proponents of the measure say legalizing marijuana could save the state $200 million a year by reducing public safety costs. At the same time, it could generate tax revenue for local governments.

Biblical Waste Of Time

The food of ‘The Last Supper’ has grown by biblical proportions over the last millennium, researchers report in a medical journal Tuesday.

Using a computer, they compared the size of the food to the size of the heads in 52 paintings of Jesus Christ and his disciples at their final meal before his death.

If art imitates life, we're in trouble, the researchers conclude. The size of the main dish grew 69 percent; the size of the plate, 66 percent, and the bread, 23 percent, between the years 1000 and 2000.

Supersizing is considered a modern phenomenon, but "what we see recently may be just a more noticeable part of a very long trend," said Brian Wansink, a food behavior scientist at Cornell University.

The study was his idea. For biblical context, he sought help from his brother, Craig Wansink, professor of religious studies at Virginia Wesleyan College in Norfolk, Virginia, and an ordained Presbyterian minister.

The Bible says the Last Supper took place on a Passover evening but gives little detail on specific foods besides bread and wine.

"There's nothing else mentioned. They don't say there's a fruit cup or carrot cake," though other foods such as fish, eel, lamb and even pork have appeared in paintings through the years, Brian Wansink said.

For the study, he used paintings featured in the book "Last Supper," published in 2000 by Phaidon Press. They include perhaps the most famous portrayal of the meal, by Leonardo da Vinci. Computer technology allowed them to scan, rotate and calculate images regardless of their orientation in the paintings.

Plane And Simple

A Qantas pilot suffering from a mental illness was allowed to keep flying for three years despite complaining of his urges to crash his planes.

Bryan Arthur Griffin worked as a pilot with Qantas from 1966 to 1982, when he resigned suffering from severe obsessive compulsive disorder, depression and anxiety.

Griffin struggled to resist an overwhelming urge to switch off his plane's engines on several occasions between 1979 and 1982, evidence tendered as part of a worker's compensation claim stated.

During a flight from Perth to Singapore in 1979 Griffin stated that his left hand “involuntarily” moved towards the start levers” in a “torturous” compulsion, the Workers Compensation Commission of New South Wales Workers heard.

He said he “struggled with the uncontrollable limb as though it wasn’t mine” and was forced to place it under his seat belt to restrain it.

“The force of the arm moving against the seat belt towards the thrust levers was so much that it made the arm sore,” the claim stated.

His “pain and terror dissipated” once he left the flight deck and smoked several cigarettes.

A similar incident happened again on his next flight from Singapore to Sydney, with Griffin stating that he felt his hand was “being abused by the uncontrollable pull of the start levers.”

After complaining about these urges Griffin was examined by several doctors and was declared fit to fly. He received extended leave to be treated by doctors and psychiatrists but was allowed to return to the cockpit.

Griffin’s claim was upheld, finding that his condition had been exacerbated by continuing to work for Qantas. Qantas had failed to understand his serious psychiatric problem and he should have been medically retired, a report from Griffin’s psychiatrist said.

The airline has been ordered to pay compensation of approximately $160,000 for loss of earnings, plus medical expenses and legal costs.

Octobang

Nadya Suleman, aka "Octomom," is reportedly on the verge of foreclosure on her California home for missing a series of payments.

The porn video maker Vivid Entertainment has offered to end her money woes, but she'd have to star in one of their videos to make it happen.

Last year Vivid offered her $1 million to star in a film with eight guys.

Suleman has 14 children all together, including the octuplets that made her a household name. She has starred in a TV special and made money from other personal appearances, but she has apparently not been able to turn her notoreity into a living the way multiple-parents the Gosselins and the Duggars have.

Vivid said Suleman had until Tuesday to make her house payment, and was hoping to work out any deal by then. No word yet from Suleman on what she thinks of the idea.

"APP"-ropos?

A London woman desperate to get her lazy boyfriend to exercise has invented an iPhone application that measures how many calories you burn off having sex, The Sun reported Wednesday.

The download, called the Bedometer, analyzes the time and intensity of each sexual encounter—and you can post your results on Facebook. "The results have been amazing. My boyfriend can't get enough of it," Livvy Thompson, 25, said.

The gizmo is put on the bed and measures raunchy activity using the iPhone or iPod Touch's motion sensor before adding up the calories.

Administration worker Thompson, of Islington, North London, wanted to encourage lover Dan Dinapoli, 25, to tone up. "Our initial tests show that a vigorous workout for 15 minutes burns almost 200 calories each," she said.

The 99 cent invention follows the Passion application which analyzes a user's bed moves and gives advice on how to improve.

Meanwhile, the life-saving iResus has become one of the fastest-selling apps ever. It tells users how to save heart attack victims.

Blindsided

A tattoo model named Michelle 'Bombshell' McGee is claiming she had a months-long affair with Sandra Bullock's husband Jesse James while Bullock was filming the movie that won her an Oscar.

McGee told In Touch magazine she and James had sex repeatedly while Bullock was shooting "The Blind Side" in 2009.

She told the magazine she thought James and Bullock were separated. "I would never have hooked up with him if I thought he was a married man," she said.

As the news broke Wednesday, Bullock issued a statement saying she was canceling her appearance at the London premiere of "The Blind Side."

"Due to unforeseen personal reasons a trip abroad to support 'The Blind Side' has been deemed impossible at this time," Bullock said in a statement. "I apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused and thank you for your continued support of the film."

Bullock won the Academy Award for Best Actress for her role in the feel-good movie. In an interview with Barbara Walters before the Oscars ceremony, she said of James, "I’d never before met a man who I felt had my back."

But McGee said that while Bullock was in Atlanta working on the movie, she had sex at least once a week with the "Monster Garage" star.

McGee said she originally reached out to James because she wanted to get a modeling job at his company West Coast Choppers. She said she was surprised when he responded and asked her to send photos to his personal email, In Touch reports.

She said she drove to meet him at his office, where she asked him about Bullock. "He said, 'She doesn't live here. She has a house in Austin. She is filming, and I can't talk about it,'" McGee told the magazine.

She said they had sex several times in the weeks that followed.

Temple Fear?

Cornell University, an Ivy League school known for its spectacular gorges and haunted by a reputation for suicides, took the extraordinary step of posting lookouts on bridges and going door-to-door to check on students after three undergrads plunged to their deaths in the past month.

The move by university officials comes after what one Cornell administrator called an "especially painful week" marred by two of the deaths. It's not clear if all three were suicides; university spokeswoman Claudia Wheatley said Tuesday that while school officials could not discuss the individual cases, one case was ruled a suicide and the other two were under investigation.

Soooooo Good

An earthquake east of downtown Los Angeles rippled across Southern California before dawn Tuesday, jolting millions of people awake and putting first-responders on alert but causing no damage, injuries or power outages.

The magnitude-4.4 quake, centered about 10 miles east of downtown Los Angeles, struck shortly after 4 a.m., according to the U.S. Geological Survey.

The California Highway Patrol reported a buckled 10-foot stretch of concrete on Interstate 5 south of downtown, but it was unclear if the broken concrete was caused by the quake.

Sesame Teet

Officials at Time Warner Cable were forced to apologize Tuesday after airing adult programming on two children’s television channels.

The mistake affected the company’s North Carolina markets and was caused by “equipment failure,” Melissa Buscher, director of media relations for Time Warner in the Carolinas said Tuesday.

The error resulted in Playboy programming showing up on Channel 553 Kids on Demand and Channel 553 Kids Preschool on Demand.

According to WRAL.com, while the programming menu listed information for children’s shows on the left side of the screen, previews of nude women in explicit conversations played on the right side of the screen.

Parents and viewers reportedly inundated the company with calls about the error. It took workers about two hours to fix the problem, WRAL said.

Buscher said the content aired from 5 to 7 a.m., although spokesman Keith Poston later said the error occurred between 6:15 and 8:15 a.m.

“We’re very, very sorry it happened,” WRAL quoted Poston as saying. “We know parents are concerned. I have a 9-year-old. I’m a dad. I’d be concerned too. It was a technical malfunction that caused the wrong previews to be shown on our kids on-demand channels."

Death Beach

A 38-year-old father of two was jogging and listening to his iPod when he was hit from behind and killed by a small plane making an emergency landing on the beach, officials said Tuesday.

Robert Gary Jones of Woodstock, Ga., was killed instantly on Hilton Head Island on Monday evening, said Beaufort County Coroner Ed Allen. The single-engine plane had lost its propeller and the pilot's vision was blocked by oil on the windshield, Allen said.

"Apparently he did not see nor hear the plane," Allen said. "The plane was basically gliding."

Hilton Head fire and rescue spokeswoman Joheida Fister said the identities of the pilot and a passenger on the Experimental Lancair IV-P plane were not released. The two were not injured.

The plane started leaking oil at about 13,000 feet and tried originally to make it to Hilton Head Airport, Fister said.

The oil on the windshield blocked the pilot's vision and he told authorities the propeller came off the plane. When he tried to land on the beach near the Hilton Head Marriott Resort and Spa, the plane hit the jogger and came to rest a little farther down the beach, she said.

"I would have to say it's pretty unusual," Fister said.

After much speculation, Corey Feldman has announced that he will not be attending Corey Haim's funeral in Toronto. In a lengthy statement (via E! News), Feldman reveals he'll "remain in Los Angeles quietly mourning and planning his memorial. As a sign of respect, I am asking the media to honor Corey Haim by making the same choice."

"In the days following my best friend Corey Haim's death, I have spent much time with his mother Judy, who has always been like a mother to me. I would love nothing more than to be by her side at Corey's funeral, however, due to their strong religious beliefs and need for privacy, the family has decided to make Corey's funeral on Tuesday a small private affair," he continues.

"Understanding the recent media attention and to be respectful of the family's wishes, I have decided not to attend ... I am working with a few people who were close to Corey to put a memorial together within the next month. At that time, the media will be invited to honor and celebrate the legacy he has left behind, along with friends, fans and the rest of the Hollywood community," Feldman also said.

Give The Man A Break...

A Great Falls man who says he was wrongly fired from his job for using medical marijuana has filed a $500,000 lawsuit against his former employer.

Mike Babbitt in a complaint filed earlier this month against Loaf-n-Jug says he was discriminated against, lost wages and suffered other monetary damages.

Babbitt says he is HIV-positive and is qualified to received medical marijuana. He says he told the company he received a medical marijuana card and the company told him it wasn't a problem.

But Babbitt says he was fired in November after a drug test from the previous month showed the presence of marijuana.

Babbitt's attorney says marijuana use falls under the company's definition of legal medication.

Hypercolor For Your Face

A new lipstick has gone on sale that shows when women are in the mood for sex.

The lip product changes from clear to deep crimson as the wearer feels more and more frisky. It works by reacting with a woman’s body chemistry.

Each $18.50 tube comes with a color chart so men can figure out how aroused their partner is feeling. The Mood Swing Emotionally Activated Lip Gloss was invented in California by Too Faced makeup brand.

"The colors change depending on your emotional state,” a spokesperson from Too Faced told The Sun.

Celebrity fans include singer Katy Perry, who is engaged to funnyman Russell Brand.

"This is the ultimate date ice-breaker,” dating expert Lorraine Adams said. "But using it every day could get embarrassing. Would you really want the man next to you on the bus to know if you're turned on?" Adams said.

Hot Tub Time Machine

Utah's House majority leader said late Thursday he paid a woman $150,000 to keep silent about going nude "hot-tubbing" with her when she was a minor a quarter century ago.

In a shocking statement on the House floor, Kevin Garn, 55, of Layton said he paid her to keep quiet about the incident during his unsuccessful U.S. congressional bid in 2002, but did not have sexual contact with her.

Garn said the woman, who he didn't identify on the floor, has been calling news outlets and that he wanted to be open about the incident that occurred when he was 28 years old, before any stories appeared.

A woman identifying herself as Cheryl Maher told The Salt Lake Tribune that she and Garn were in a hot tub nude when she was 15 years old.

"This has just been a nightmare for me," Maher said in a telephone interview with the newspaper from New Hampshire. "I just want to tell the truth because it's part of the healing process for me."

Garn told The Associated Press early Friday that Maher was the woman and that they were nude during a "spur of the moment" skinny dip. He said she worked for him in a warehouse.

House members gave him thunderous applause for his honesty and embraced him. As majority leader, Garn was the House's point man on a series of legislative ethics bills this year that were designed to restore the public's faith in the Legislature after recent accusations of bribery.

"While this payment felt like extortion, I also felt like I should take her word that the money would help her heal. She agreed to keep this 25-year-old incident confidential. Now that this issue is coming up again, it is apparent to me that this payment was also a mistake," Garn said.

"Although we did not have any sexual contact, it was still clearly inappropriate -- and it was my fault," Garn said.
