Five vacationing female Norwegian police officers in heels take down Spanish flasher

I think I can pretty much guarantee you I won't be writing a better headline all day. It's like a low-budget Charlie's Angels or something. (And, yes, in case you're wondering, referring to police officers as "girls" is not as offensive in Skandinavia as it would be here.)

I translated this from Danish paper, Politiken: "Vacationers and locals in Torrevieja in the souch of Spain saw something unusual in the beginning of September when five Norwegian women wearing stillettos (looks more like wedges to me) and mini skirts took a break from their vacation and napped a flasher.

The paper Verdens Gang reports on its website vg.no that the girls are police officers who'd travelled to the vacation area to relax.

"We had been out for dinner when we saw a man standing there showing himself a couple of street away. We thought he was drunk and didn't worry about it," says one of the officers, Brittandulff Karlsen.

But the next day it happened again. The same man stood there and, again, wasn't wearing clothes - except for socks and running shoes.

 "We got a little annoyed. There were families and children walking by. We had to do something," says Helen Solheim, who works for vice in Stavanger.

So the women decided to do something about it. They got closer to the man, who then started running away from them. "He was anything but drunk," Solheim says.

The man ran into a park to get away from the Norwegian tourists who then spread out to trap him. Two of the women napped him.

"It was a an incredible sight. The naked man who's running around in the park betwen cacti and palm trees and the two Norwegian girls in dresses and heels," says Randulff Karlson.

The man stumbled and then he was caught. When local police arrived, they were surprised.

"It was like bringing work with you on vacation. And it's a funny story, but I hope it's a one-time occurrence," Randulff Karlsen says.

What? No mini skirts? No meat hats? No fast cars or tigers or space ships? No whipped cream? No boys in bondage gear? How are we supposed to relate to this?

That should be awesome and rambling THR: "Hole singer and sometime actress Courtney Love is collaborating with bestselling rock scribe Anthony Bozza, coauthor of Slash and Tommy Lee's Tommyland, on a memoir for publisher William Morrow due in stores fall 2012. The publisher's statement says "Love finally sets the record straight" on her tumultuous family history, marriage with Kurt Cobain, drug woes, relationships with Smashing Pumpkins frontman Billy Corgan and Edward Norton, and Hollywood life."

Chris Carter returning to TV THR: "X-Files creator Chris Carter is heading back to the small screen. After several years away from Hollywood despite heavy demand, Carter has reemerged with a female-lead mystery police thriller titled Unique. The project, which is set up at Media Rights Capital, has a supernatural element to it. He is set to write and executive produce. Carter spent nearly a decade at the helm of the David Duchovny and Gillian Anderson vehicle, which ran from 1993 to 2002. The series not only helped put host network Fox on the map but also define it as a destination for edgy, quality fare."

Ring on the block "A diamond isn't always forever ... sometimes its only for 6 months - especially for Hugh Hefner's ex-fiancee Crystal Harris ... who just put her engagement ring on a pretty famous auction block! TMZ has learned ... the platinum ring, which boasts a 3.39 carat circular-cut diamond - will be auctioned off by Christie's in NYC next month. According to the listing, the ring is expected to sell somewhere in the range of $20 -$30k. Sources close to Crystal tell us ... the former Playboy model "couldn't bear to look at the ring anymore because it brought back bad memories."

David Arquette has a new girlfriend People: "One year after his split from Courteney Cox, David Arquette is dating again. "She's adorable," the actor told Howard Stern Thursday of his new girlfriend, Christina McLarty. McLarty, who was married to Girls Gone Wild's Joe Francis for less than two months in 2010, was first spotted with Arquette at Comic Con in San Diego in late July. The current Dancing with the Stars contestant told Stern he met McLarty at a "boat party" and that "we try to see each other as much as possible." "I'm not one to run around with different girls," he said. "I like someone that makes me feel good and that I can make feel good."

Getting hitched "The prince of darkness' son is getting married! Jack Osbourne and aspiring actress Lisa Stelly are engaged, Us Weekly exclusively confirms. While many came to know Jack in 2002 through his family's reality show The Osbournes on MTV, he's since done more work behind the camera. The 25-year-old directed Ozzy's music video for the song "Life Won't Wait" in 2010. He also produced a documentary film about his famous father in 2011 titled God Bless Ozzy Osbourne. Jack worked alongside directors Mike Fleiss and Mike Piscitelli on the film, which tells his father's life story through his youngest son's eyes. God Bless Ozzy Osbourne will be released on DVD and Blu-Ray Nov. 15. A friend of Stelly's told Us Jack is "a great influence on her," adding, "It's just no drama. More stable."

Mike Myers names his son Spike



The real Spike does not approve

"Groovy, baby — it’s a boy! Mike Myers and his wife Kelly Tisdale have welcomed their first child, a boy, PEOPLE confirms. The couple have decided on the name Spike and are “ecstatic” with their new addition, says his rep. The Austin Powers actor, 48, and Tisdale, who tied the knot last fall, confirmed the pregnancy in May."

 

This Spike is kinda miffed too:

 

This one doesn't really care:

 

This one likes his moustache:

 

This one has no idea who the bleep Mike Myers is:

 

This one has a hat:

 

Taiwanese animation tackles Ashton Kutcher

Finally. The truth.

And, btw, Ashton just tweeted, "When you ASSUME to know that which you know nothing of you make an ASS out of U and ME." That's some pretty deep Grade 3 type advice right there.

This flowchart may make you giggle with glee

This summer NPR, with the help of some 60,000 people compiled a list of the 100 greatest sci-fi and fantasy books ever. And now it's been made into the most magnificent flowchart in the history of all flowcharts by a designer at SF Signal. Amazing. Amazing. Amazing. And now I want to read Sunshine again. And The Chronicles of Thomas Covenant. Oh, and I forgot that I have The Name of the Wind sitting all pristine and unread at home. But nothing by Heinlein. I just can't with him. Reading Stranger in a Strange Land was not entertaining. Never again. Click to enlarge.

I don't know why Mark Ruffalo is making constipated sexy-face. But I'm not an expert on The Hulk, so perhaps there's a really good reason that I'm just not aware of.

 

 

Best short film ever. Today

This is one of those neat 5secondfilms. Although, technically, I think this one is actually eight seconds long. But never mind. We're not going to let sloppy accounting get in the way and will let it go this time. (Thank you, John).
