Who knew the Silver Surfer huffed spraypaint?

Indiana man busted 48 (FORTY-EIGHT) times since 1992 for 'huffing' toxic vapors.

Kelly Gene Gibson looks like he could be a completely normal guy.


An Indiana man's recent bust for "huffing" paint fumes marks the 48th time he was charged over his obsession with inhaling the toxic chemicals.

Kelly Gibson has been in trouble with the law repeatedly since 1992 because of his alleged addiction, police said.

In his latest bust, which took place more than a week ago, police responded after Gibson and his wife, Kelly, got into an argument outside their apartment, according to WANE News in Fort Wayne, Ind.

Kelly told officers her husband was in their apartment but she was afraid to go in, WANE reported. When police went inside, the entire place reeked of paint fumes and Gibson was shirtless with his hands and face covered in silver paint.

He had a plastic bag in one hand, police said, and a can of silver spray paint in the other. He was also dazed and glassy-eyed.

Gibson was arrested and charged with inhaling toxic vapors.

Whether or not he's the human incarnate of the silver surfer, this silver-faced man is a hero--though not exactly a super one--in my book.

UK Jersey Shore: GEORDIE SHORE

Please just watch the trailer.

Is this real life?


“I’ll never kiss anyone without a six-pack.”

“I’m fit, I’m flirty and I’ve got double-Fs.”

“My biggest fear is getting wrinkles.”


Do you know what a Geordie is? Yeah, we didn’t either until now.

Introducing “Geordie Shore,” the UK version of “Jersey Shore,” complete with fist pumping lads and heavily eye shadowed lasses. While the original characters are living it up in Italy, the newest cast of eight hails from Newcastle.

Ranging from 18 to 26 — Jay, Holly, James, Sophie, Vicky, Charlotte-Letitia and Greg – have an uncanny likeness to the original characters. Besides the muscles and spray tans, above is a selection of some of their lines pulled from the trailer.

MTV UK will premiere the Geordie Shore on May 24th, 2011.

I can't wait.

Hang on bro, I can't hear you over this tornado

Guy stays on phone while TORNADO TEARS THROUGH AIRPORT.



On Friday, a tornado ripped through the Lambert Airport in St. Louis, moving planes and lifting the ceiling off of Concourse C, sending glass everywhere.

"Planes were diverted to other locations as emergency crews probed the debris for more wounded. Mayor Francis Slay said Lambert would be shut down "indefinitely."

The storm lifted the roof off Concourse C and sent plate glass flying everywhere. Four people were taken to the hospital with minor injuries after glass shattered as the storm hit, airport spokesman Jeff Lea said. An unspecified number of others were treated at the scene for cuts blamed on flying glass.

Passengers from at least two planes were stranded briefly on the Lambert tarmac because of debris but were later taken away by buses. An Air National Guard facility at the airport was reportedly damaged.

The airport's main terminal sustained the most damage. Airport director Rhonda Hamm-Niebruegge said roughly half of that structure's windows were blown out, sending glass and rain into that building. Elsewhere on the property, trees were toppled and power lines downed, further limiting access to the airport even hours after the storm left its destruction."

Racist McDonalds menu options via lawsuit; McStinkynigger, McNigshit

Lawsuit Alleges Landmark Steakhouse Employees Referred to African-American Customer as 'McStinkynigger' and 'McNigshit'

In the Corona del Mar universe, Landmark Steakhouse is for MILFs-in-training, for gals not old enough for the Quiet Woman but too old to serve as eye candy over at Gulfstream. Its food is forgettable; its drinks pedestrian. I wouldn't go there if the meal was free, but I never once felt uncomfortable at the restaurant on account of my ethnicity or even my empty wallet.

Thank God I'm not Mark McHenry. In a federal lawsuit filed last Friday, McHenry--who is African-American--alleged Landmark employees replaced his name on credit card receipts with crude racial slurs; McStinkynigger, and McNigshit--this, despite the fact he was a regular customer at Landmark.

Eek! The general manager and owner of the group that owns Landmark, CDM Restaurants, of course deny their establishments are racists, but the evidence presented above is pretty damn damning that they're at least guilty of having idiot employees. We'll see what a judge has to say.

Shootout at Internet Cafe: CHECK EMAIL OR DIE TRYIN'

As I read this story, the lyrics of a great street poet--50 Cent--come to mind:

Fuck, boy, you can see it to believe it;
Tryna dodge and wave it, end up a paraplegic;
Believe me it's easy, I'll hurt you, I'll merk you;
I'll pop summin', drop summin', I ain't gonna stop huntin'




An attempted armed robbery of an Internet café in Seminole County early Tuesday left one of the suspected robbers dead and deputies combing Pine Hills for his accomplices.

Gary Bryant, 21, was one of two men who walked into the Allied Veterans Internet Café at 3030 East Semoran Boulevard about 1 a.m. and later ended up dead after a shootout with a security guard.

The Seminole County Sheriff's Office has since released surveillance video of the gun battle, which took place at the strip-mall business.

The video shows Bryant and the other man entering the building. They immediately become involved in a conflict with a security guard.

Gunfire erupts, and the security guard fires a round and that strikes Bryant in the back as he heads for the door to exit the business.

Before leaving the scene in an older-model tan Oldsmobile, one of the robbers fires several gunshots into the business.

The Seminole Sheriff's Office said one of its investigators saw the vehicle and tried to stop it, but the driver sped off.

Shortly afterward, deputies said the vehicle arrived at a Value Inn on Clarcona-Ocoee Road near U.S. Highway 441, where the two other men inside the vehicle left Bryant's body.

Orange County deputies chased two men in the car, but the men fled in the vehicle — which deputies later determined was stolen — into the Pine Hills area of west Orange and ran away on foot.

The Orange County Sheriff's Office used K-9 units to try to track the two men, who remained at large Tuesday.

Bryant, meanwhile, was declared dead at a hospital.

He was on probation for robbery, according to the Seminole sheriff's office. Public records also show that he was arrested as a juvenile on charges including resisting an officer without violence, vehicle theft and robbery with a firearm. He also has been charged as an adult, including a December 2009 arrest for escape.

Details of that arrest were not immediately available Tuesday.

Internet cafés have become targets of criminals in recent years because they're known for having thousands of dollars at any given time, critics of them say.

Tuesday's incident was at least the third robbery or robbery attempt at an Internet café in Florida this year.

Top 15 Prescription Drugs in America

Remember what the Bible says: He who is without sin, cast the first rock. And I shall smoketh it.

These are the best-selling prescription drugs in America, according to the research firm, IMS Health. They form the shadow of our nation's ailments. Among pharmaceutical industry watchers, the big news is that the top 10 drugs are generics, i.e. the ones Big Pharma makes little money on. For the casual observer, what stands out is that five drugs treat high blood pressure and by far the best-selling drug in this country is Vicodin. People are stressed out and hurting, apparently.

The top 15 highest-grossing drugs treat a similar but not identical set of conditions, according to IMS. Three drugs treat heart disease and cholesterol. Three more treat depression and bipolar disorder. Arthritis and asthma each have two drugs in the top 15. Acid reflux, diabetes, anemia, cancer and pain round out the list. All of the medicines with the exception of Oxycontin are for chronic conditions.

Comparing the two lists, the most striking contrast is the revenue potential of mental health drugs, which don't get prescribed that often, but rank way up on the sales list. Lipitor is the only medication that makes both lists.

SKINNI SNOOKI?

Snooki the secret slimmer reveals her new summer body on Twitter. Also some Jersey Shore cast updates!

Jersey Shore star Snooki has made no secret of her battle with weight and three months ago she vowed to cut out alcohol to lose the pounds.

And it seems the 23-year-old, real name Nicole Polizzi, has stuck to her word.

The reality TV star posted a picture of her new slimline figure on her Twitter page today, declaring: 'Ready for Summaaa!!!'

She later added: 'Water is my new best friend. #dieting.'

Snooki has been lying low since the third season of the Jersey Shore wrapped last month, save for a few appearances at WWE wrestling events.

And judging by her new body, which looked trim and toned in hot pants and a midriff baring top, she has used her time to focus on getting in shape.

Her fans were suitably impressed, with one tweeting: 'Skinnnnnyyyy!'

Another added: 'Looking TONED and TANNED! Looks awesome!!!!

In January, Snooki declared: 'My number one [resolution] is definitely to keep up with my training and keep losing weight and getting toned,' she told E! News.

'I try to eat healthy. I just have to quit the drinking so much. If I do drink, it's going to be, like, vodka and seltzer...maybe like two or three.'

Snooki has admitted that she suffered from an eating disorder during high school, at one point weighing a worrying 180lbs.

The new look Snooki is set to get even more air time having just signed on for a spin-off show with Jenni 'JWoww' Farley.

Their co-star Paul ' Pauly D' DelVecchio also landed his own programme.

While the shows are yet to be titled, MTV have confirmed that two new programme will go ahead.

Snooki and JWoww, 25, will team up together for a series that follows the two girlfriends as they deal with life away from Jersey Shore.

'The locale may be different, but the friendship is sure to remain the same,' MTV said in a statement.

Meanwhile Pauly D, 29, will be the star of his own 12-episode show, which follows his dream to become a world class DJ.

Franchise deals have already been nutted out with the network for the untitled spin-off projects that will air in 2012.

Season four of Jersey Shore is set to be filmed in Italy later this year, but sources say there have already been problems and delays.

Many Italian nightclubs and hotels have banded together to oppose MTV camera filming in the venues.

'Producers are also having a really difficult time finding venues for the cast to party at too,' an MTV source told Radaronline.

According to the insider, venues are resistant to allow cameras in their venues, due to the gang's outrageous behaviour in Seaside Heights, New Jersey.

And opposition to the reality star's in Italy isn't the only problem.

It has also been revealed that some of the cast members are yet to sign their contracts.
