Paul Rudd Celebrates Kansas City Royals World Series Win

Back in July, when the classic movie Clueless turned 20 years old, we asked a simple question: What are the main cast members up to now ? On Sunday night, meanwhile, Paul Rudd gave us the most immediate answer: he’s on Cloud Nine. The lifelong Kansas City Royals fan didn’t just get to bear witness to his favorite team winning the World Series. He got to do it while actually in attendance at Citi Field in New York, and then he got to be doused with beer and champagne into the Kansas City locker room. The Royals defeated the Mets in five games to capture the title, shocking the sports world in the clincher by scoring two runs to tie the game in the ninth inning. They then became the first team in World Series history to score five runs in an extra inning, going on to win by a score of 7-2. “I haven’t thought about anything. I can’t even believe that I’m standing here right now. I don’t know how I snuck in,” Rudd said to reporters after the contest, adding: “I’ve been to every single World Series the Royals have been in. “It makes no sense. It makes sense that they won because they’re incredible. It makes no sense that I’m here right now, celebrating this.” So at least you can take some comfort, Mets fans. It sucks your team lost in the World Series. But it made Paul Rudd happy and, come on, is there a more universally-beloved actor out there than Paul Rudd?

Woman Tries to Pet Tiger at Zoo, Loses Part of Hand

Jacqueline Eide wanted to pet a tiger.  So the 33-year-old reach her left hand into the tiger’s cage at Henry Doorly Zoo.  And just as you suspect, the tiger ripped half of her hand off. After Eide was rushed to Creighton University Medical Center, police were made aware of the incident. Eide was behaving belligerently and showing signs of intoxication, so police were asked to assist. The result of the injury is so severe that she may lose part of her hand . But she has more to worry about than just her injury.  According to the Omaha Police Department, Eide has been cited for criminal trespass. “The safety and security of our guests and animals are always a priority at Omaha’s Henry Doorly Zoo and Aquarium,” Dennis Pate, the zoo’s executive director and CEO, said. Pate continued, “Emergency phone numbers are printed on maps for guests to call in case of an emergency and security staff keep watch on grounds around the clock. We have added security cameras, new path lighting and computer-controlled locks to track exit and entry.” “Additional path lighting is planned for the new African Grasslands exhibit and more cameras will be installed to monitor the grounds and gates. We will continue to keep security a top priority for Zoo guests and animals.” Because of people like Eide, the zoo plans to include more cameras in the future.
