Zebra Chases Pony in Parking Lot, Hapless Humans Give Chase With Lassos

No, this isn’t something out of children’s book or animated TV show. A zebra really did chase a pony through the parking lot of a nondescript strip mall in Staten Island. Zachary Osher of Metropolitan Drape & Blind summed it up best. Zebra Chases Pony “I was sitting at my desk at about 9:20 when I saw a zebra and pony run back and forth across the street, almost getting hit by a car,” he told the Staten Island Advance . Osher grabbed his iPhone and started recording the zebra and pony sprinting through the lot. The two eventually made it onto a main road, dodging traffic as they went. Then, amazingly, “Thirty seconds later, I saw two men in dark black suits carrying lassos running across the street,” Osher told the Advance … and wasn’t joking. Eventually, the creatures were successfully corralled. Police reported to the New York Times that by 2:30 p.m. today, the pair were returned home – to a petting zoo at Victory Boulevard and Travis Avenue just a few blocks away. No word if the zebra and pony, who were both surprisingly unhurt after their jailbreak escapade, plan on sending in auditioning tapes for roles in Madagascar 4 .

Kim Kardashian "Handcuffed" to Kris Humphries, Lawyer Argues

The Kim Kardashian divorce case may have reached a tipping point today. First, Kanye West was actually deposed by an attorney for Kris Humphries, who asked the rapper… God only knows what about his relationship with Kardashian and how it has any bearing on her desire to ditch Humphries. Then, Kim’s lawyer – Laura Wasser – went off on the entire debacle, telling a Los Angeles County judge that her client is “handcuffed to Mr. Humphries… These delays are forcing her to be married. She wants to dissolve her marriage so she can move on with her life.” Aside from supplying readers with the easiest punchline ever, she makes a good point. Kris signed a prenuptial agreement. What is the hold-up here?!? Wasser also expressed irritation, according to TMZ sources, that Humphries and his legal team are dragging this mess out, considering they haven’t even deposed Kim yet. She referred to the case as a “fishing expedition.” In response, Kris’ lawyer said all Kim has to do is agree to an annulment (which would void the prenup) and everyone could move on. In the end, the judge set a trial date February 15. Yes, that’s 16 months after the couple split. Who do you blame more for this divorce debacle?   Kim Kardashian Kris Humphries Oh my frickin God, they both just need to go far, far away! View Poll »

Kevin Clash Accuser Recants, Acknowledges ADULT Relationship with Elmo Voice Star

Kevin Clash is off the hook. The Sesame Street star – who voices Elmo and was forced to take a leave of absence after a man came forward and said he had an illegal relationship with Clash when the actor was 45 and he was 16 – is no longer under investigation because his accuser has recanted his story. An attorney for the accuser released a statement this afternoon that changes his client’s original stance to agree with that of Clash’s : yes, there was a relationship. But, no, it did not violate any laws. Reads the statement: “[The accuser] wants it to be known that his sexual relationship with Mr. Clash was an adult consensual relationship. [The accuser] will have no further comment.” It’s unknown what transpired, but sources tell TMZ Clash’s lawyer met with the accuser’s lawyer and a six-figure settlement was offered at the time. Said Clash in response to this turn of events: “I am relieved that this painful allegation has been put to rest. I will not discuss it further.”

Lindsay Lohan-Jay Leno Interview Pisses Off Barbara Walters

Barbara Walters is not happy about Lindsay Lohan bailing on 20/20 – and even less pleased that the star immediately booked an interview with Jay Leno. Her new publicist, Tej Bhatia Herring, took over when Steve Honig quit last month, and was reportedly concerned that Walters would paint Lohan in an unfavorable light. She therefore found else someone to interview her client, a man who lobs more softballs than that fat dude in your slow-pitch league: Jay Leno. Come to think of it, Leno might actually be the fat dude in your slow-pitch league. Walters feels she was stood up by Lindsay and is pissed, given how fair she believes she’s been to her over the years – and would’ve been again in this case. Alas, fair also means holding the interview subject at least semi-accountable. On Friday, NBC announced that Lohan would appear on The Tonight Show on November 20 to promote her Liz Taylor biopic, which airs on November 25. You can expect Leno to stick to the Liz & Dick talking points and avoid any hard-hitting inquiries about partying, legal problems or family issues. Lohan’s new publicist seems to have a plan to reconstruct her client’s image, one that basically entails preventing her from having to explain herself. Ever. PR at its finest.

Brutality: Texas Woman Is Suing The Police Dept. For Rupturing Her Breast Implant During Rough Arrest!

Must have been pretty brutal to pop one of those hard a$$ tiddays… Texas Woman Sues Police Over Ruptured Breast Implant During Arrest Via NBCDFW A North Texas woman who says a Pantego police officer caused her breast implants to rupture during an arrest is suing the town. Rebecca Van Hooser said the officer threw her against her car when he arrested her during a traffic stop on Bowen Road. The Pantego officer pulled her over on a headlight violation and arrested her after learning she had a warrant for an unpaid speeding ticket. “She gets out of the car, [the officer] grabs her, throws her against the car, spreads her legs — kicks — spreads her legs and grabs her arms and forcefully pulls them out and yanks them very hard behind her back,” said her attorney, Susan Hutchison. Hutchison said throwing Van Hooser against the car caused her breast implant to burst. “She’s screaming in pain, and his response is, ‘This isn’t supposed to be comfortable,’” Hutchison said. Apparently, the rupture has led to many other problems for Van Hooser. Her attorney said the rupture has led to health problems. “She’s had a number of surgeries,” Hutchison said. “She had two hematomas as a result, and she’s going to have to have a partial mastectomy, tissue transplant and a new implant.” Hutchison said the lawsuit is not just about her client’s medical problems. “We respect police officers,” she said. “We’re glad they’re out there protecting us. When you arm someone with a gun and a badge and the authority that they have over people, you’ve got to train them appropriately, and they have got to be able to react reasonably and responsibly.”

Sam Lutfi: Britney Spears Overdosed on Drugs, Shaved Head to Hide Evidence

Britney Spears’ former “manager” Sam Lutfi is finally getting his day in court. In suing for defamation and money he feels he earned during their partnership – her dark period of 2007-08, not coincidentally, Lutfi is making some shocking allegations: Britney Spears: MTV VMAs 2007 Spears took a massive amount of amphetamines the night she was strapped to a gurney and placed on a 5150 hold, according to Sam Lutfi . On January 28, 2008, Britney had an amphetamine prescription filled; she took 6-8 pills early in the day, and several more later and went off the rails. Lutfi’s lawyer said he tried to get Britney to meet with a psychiatrist days before she was 5150’d, but she refused, despite having been a mess for months prior to that. She certainly was in the throes of a downward spiral throughout 2007. Speaking of … Sam claims he tried to talk Britney out of her disastrous performance at the MTV Awards in 2007 (above), because she was overweight and didn’t rehearse. Spears was so paranoid that her hair contained traces of the hardcore drugs she was using that Britney shaved her head to hide possible “evidence.” Britney was a serious crystal meth addict. Sam’s lawyer, Joseph Schleimer, had a field day yesterday, somehow claiming that his client repeatedly told Britney she needed to get off drugs, to no avail. Schleimer says Sam: Tried to enlist a whole team of people to help her. Brought in a drug-sniffing dog and found meth. Was attacked by Britney’s dad Jamie Spears. Introduced Britney to fiance Jason Trawick . As for Sam’s managerial role, Schleimer says Britney approached HIM and offered 15 percent of her earnings – $800,000 a month when she wasn’t on tour, way more when she was. Britney’s side has yet to respond to these allegations, most of which are patently false and the rest are legally flimsy at best. Good luck proving any of that. How can a hard ass drug addict be competent enough to sign or agree to any financial deal? Isn’t that just undermining your own case there Sam?

Hulk Hogan Files $100 Million Lawsuit Against Sex Tape Distributor

Citing actions that were “illegal, outrageous and exceeded the bounds of human decency,” a lawsuit was filed yesterday against the website that posted the Hulk Hogan sex tape and the former best friend who allegedly leaked it. The ex-wrestler is seeking a minimum of $100 million in damages. Hulk Hogan Press Conference Hogan stood behind his attorney at a press conference in Tampa yesterday, as the lawyer outlined his client’s case against Gawker.com and against both Bubba the Love Sponge and Heather Clem. The former couple is actually seen toward the conclusion of the sex tape, talking about their role in recording it behind Hogan’s back . In the suit, as explained above, Hogan asserts he “had a reasonable expectation of privacy in his consensual, intimate activities in a private bedroom and reasonably believed that his privacy was safe and protected.” The $100 million lawsuit is being filed specifically against Gawker. It’s unclear at the moment how much Hogan is asking from Clem and… ummm… the Love Sponge. He and his legal team also asking anyone in possession of any sex tape footage to turn it over immediately.

Michael Clarke Duncan Dies; Actor Was 54

About six weeks after he suffered a cardiac arrest and needed his fiancee – Omarosa Manigault – to revive him and get him to the hospital, actor Michael Clarke Duncan has passed away. He was 54. Best known for his role in The Green Mile and most recently a series regular on Fox’s The Finder , Duncan reportedly died unexpectedly, though he was hospitalized at the time. TMZ sources say Omarosa’s mother was at Duncan’s side , while the former Apprentice star herself simply left the room for a short while and returned to the horrible news. While details are sketchy at the moment, the actor’s rep says his client never fully recovered from last month’s myocardial infarction.

Celebrations of his life, both private and public, will be announced at a later date.” Prior to his Oscar nomination for The Green Mile , the 6’5″, 300-pound Duncan served as bodyguard for such stars as Will Smith, Martin Lawrence, Jamie Foxx, LL Cool J and Notorious B.I.G.
