The naked man who sparked talk of a zombie apocalypse after eating another man’s face on Saturday has been identified as Rudy Eugene, age 31. Eugene, of North Miami Beach, was shot multiple times and killed following a grisly assault on the Downtown exit ramp of the MacArthur Causeway. The Miami Herald , whose own surveillance cameras caught the incident on tape, reports that Eugene had been arrested eight times since age 16. “I wouldn’t say he had [a] mental problem but he always felt like people was against him type of attitude,” his ex-wife Jenny Ductant told Local 10. “No one was for him, everyone was against him.” A neighbor said his former home was foreclosed on in 2011, and homeless people in the area said he was frequently spotted wandering around there. The identity of Eugene’s victim, believed to be a homeless man, has not been released. He survived having his face eaten but is in serious condition. An eyewitness riding his bike on the causeway said he flagged down a cop after coming across Eugene, stark naked, chewing another man’s face. Man Shot, Killed After Eating Another Man’s Face “The guy was tearing him to pieces, so I told him, ‘Get off!'” Larry Vega said. “The guy just kept eating the other guy away, like, ripping his skin.” Vega said when the policeman yelled at Eugene to back away, he merely raised his head “with pieces of flesh in his mouth,” growled, and resumed chewing. The officer then shot Eugene once, but Eugene continued to attack the man’s face, prompting the officer to shoot again and again until he was dead. It has been reported, although unconfirmed, that Rudy Eugene was under the influence of cocaine and/or LSD at the time of the attack. That, or he was an actual zombie and the apocalypse is near.
Yikes , this is not good: “Law enforcement officials confirm … Stahl’s wife filed a missing person’s report with the L.A.P.D. on Monday … saying she last saw the 32-year-old actor on May 9. [… I]t is believed Stahl had been frequenting the Skid Row area of Downtown Los Angeles recently … and there are concerns he may have gotten himself involved in some bad stuff. Back in February, Nick’s wife had filed court papers, expressing serious concerns that Nick may be using drugs … and sources say she fears drugs may have something to do with his disappearance.” [ TMZ ]
Kate Upton set the ‘net on fire yesterday (as she is wont to do) as she demonstrated the latest hip-hop dance craze (as she is also prone to doing ), the ” Cat Daddy “, for celebrity photographer/king pervert Terry Richardson while wearing a teeny red bikini. That’s just another day at the office for this astoundingly sexy 19-year-old DD wonder, but after reviewing the footage (oh so very) closely, our Skin Labs have been able to discern some new and quite SKINtimate information about Kate: according to our Blu-ray ninja, Ms. Upton does her downtown in the Brazilian manner. Put that in your spank bank and whack it! See Kate Upton’s “Cat Daddy” video after the jump!
My name is Megan and this is my Bieber Experience! It started with Justin Bieber’s tweet, “heading to Disney World for the Christmas parade this weekend!” I live in Orlando, so naturally as a Belieber, I started freaking out. My friend, Tatiana and I called Disney World probably 5 times and talked to the customer service to see if they had any info on him performing. Some people were very rude and short with us saying that they had no information on him even performing in the parade! Finally one lady gave us helpful information saying that the taping would be all day Saturday and we would have to buy full passes to Magic Kindom. Well, we didn’t really want to spend that much money, not knowing if we would meet him, or let alone see him perform! So we had an idea, to go walk around Downtown Disney (which is free) to see if any of his band members, or even him were to hang out there! We got there probably around 2 pm, and just walked hung out and walked around. It got later and both of our phones were dying, so we had to go sit in a restaurant that had wifi so Tatiana could check their tweets on her ipod. Finally, around 9:30, Scooter Braun tweeted “salsa dancing saturday night. we in here, #bongos.” We realized that was a restaurant on the other side of Downtown Disney! We ran all the way there, and waited outside. I circled the restaurant to see if there was a backdoor they would go out of, but there wasn’t, so I went back to the front to wait with Tatiana. When I got to the front I couldn’t find her… but then she appeared and told me Scooter had just left! We ran out to the parking lot and saw him and Carin walking to their car. Tatiana yelled Scooter and he turned around, but we freaked out and turned around and acted like it wasn’t us yelling his name, he got in his car and drove away. But then Tatiana told me she thought she saw Dan Kanter, Justin’s guitarist, so we went back to Bongos, and out front, was Dan Kanter, and Scrappy, sitting with a large group of people. We stood around, still not positive if we wanted to go up with the chance that it wasn’t them, and embarrass ourselves! But finally a small, woman with long brown hair walked up to them and they all hugged and laughed, and the woman resembled Justin’s mom, Pattie Mallette! I walked around them, acting like I was looking for someone, so I could get a full view of what the woman looked like. I saw her, and realized it WAS HER! I ran back to Tatiana, and we waited for Pattie and her friend to walk past us, when they past us. We went up to her and said, “Excuse me, Ms. Pattie, can we have a picture with you?” She said of course! I was like starstruck, and said, “Oh my gosh, you are really pretty!” She blushed and said “Thank you sweetie!” She was so cute, and sweet, and know that she is doing a great job raising Justin! Next, we KNEW that is was Dan Kanter standing 20 feet away from us, but we didn’t want to go up and interrupt their conversation, so we just waited until they left to ask. So they started walking out, and we went up to Dan and asked him if we could take a picture with him! He said, Yeah! Sure! We took a few cause of the lighting was wierd, but then finally one came out! He asked us if we went to the show, but we said no! We didn’t know when Justin was performing! He said, oh, I’m sorry, but there’s always next time! And we said yes definitely! We waited a total of 10 hours at Downtown Disney that day, so I’m glad we met someone! And to Justin if you ever get to read this! please follow me on Twitter and make my dreams come true! -@meoshea See the original post here: My name is Megan and this is my Bieber Experience! It started…
Gym, tan, lawsuit? It’s another ugly legal situation for Mike Sorrentino. This time, the Jersey Shore star wants to make sure his GTL trademark is intact, which means suing a random ass guido-themed lifestyle company for ripping off The Situation’s brand. The lawsuit has been filed … but does it have merit? Don’t cry, Mike … it’s gonna be alright dawg . Sitch’s cease and desist letter to a website called MyGTLFuel (dot) com claims they’d better quit exploiting his trademark or legal action will be a-comin’. The site, which sells everything from energy shots to tanning lotion, hasn’t gone anywhere yet, as its owner, Dana Valentino, says there’s no trademark. According to Valentino, Sitch applied for the “GTL” trademark, but doesn’t legally own it … yet. He wants to settle this amicably but NOT close up shop. Mike is also involved in a legal dispute with Abercrombie .
Courtney Stodden, 16, and Doug Hutchison, 51, swear their marriage is not a publicity stunt. To prove it, they went on a national talk show this week. The couple, whose marriage in May created quite the stir due to their age difference, appeared on Good Morning America yesterday and said the relationship was “totally innocent” at first, focused on business. Stodden made the first flirty move over email, Hutchison said, adding that he then sensed “a struggle inside my heart… because I had already started falling for her.” Courtney Stodden and Doug Hutchison on Good Morning America Hutchison called Stodden’s mother, who is on record supporting the couple , and said:
Robert Ross is suing Shaquille O’Neal for allegedly masterminding a plot to kidnap him over a sex tape Ross supposedly possessed that depicted the former NBA star and a mistress. It’s a complicated case and you can read more about it HERE . Now, in new court documents obtained by TMZ, Ross includes even more damning accusations against Shaq: he says O’Neal hired him to murder multiple people, including a gang member, a record producer, and a woman Shaq knocked up. Ross is a former gang member and acquaintance of O’Neal’s, who had falling out with the athlete over a record deal. The lawsuit reads : “For many years O’Neal requested and directed [Ross] to perform many personal favors and directed him to perform various tasks including, but not limited to: ordering [Ross] to kill a member of the Downtown Gangster Crips who had disrespected O’Neal in front of his wife Shaunie.” According to Ross, O’Neal also issued “an order to kill a woman whom [he]had impregnated and paid for her abortion” and “an order to kill a renown record producer, as well as “an order to break an NBA player’s shooting arm.” A lawyer for Shaq, who was hired this week as an analyst by TNT, has replied to these charges: “The outlandish claims by Robert Ross in his civil complaint are pure fiction.
In a hearing today for the case of the $2,500 necklace that was alleged stolen from a jewelry shop by Lindsay Lohan in January, a judge found Lohan in violation of her probation and sentenced her to 120 days in jail . In addition to her time in the clink, Lohan must perform 480 hours of community service, 360 of which must be at the Downtown Women’s Center in Los Angeles so that, according to Judge Stephanie Sautner, “perhaps then she will see women who are truly needy and might change her behavior.” Does this mean the Gotti pic is back off?

Thousands of ‘mau5-heads’ gathered downtown for a massive, progressive-house set. By Stephen Alex Vasquez Deadmau5 performs at Ultra Music Festival Photo: David Rojas/FilmMagic MIAMI — We all know Joel Zimmerman, a.k.a. deadmau5, knows how to put on a hell of a show, like when he graced the stage at that little event known as the MTV Video Music Awards. His live production is both exciting and intricate, including a massive new LED lighting setup, token mau5 head, and that awe-inspiring cube. And it was no different when MTV News hit up the Ultra Music Festival on Sunday (March 27). Deadmau5’s amazing stage setup is part of why he stands apart from other acts — that as well as his excellent production value and impeccable transitions during live performances. We hit up day two of the Ultra fest to see what new tricks deadmau5 would have in store. This year, tens of thousands of mau5-heads were greeted to a very minimal, progressive-house opener. The mood shifted once the hypnotic Sofi dazzled the stage alongside rocker/boyfriend Tommy Lee, who was drumming to the smash “Sofi Needs a Ladder”; the song was followed by his dubstep-infused thumper “One Trick Pony.” The performance shifted in tone and energy throughout the set, hitting classic mau5 bombs like his Rob Swire vocal edit of his break though hit “Ghosts N Stuff.” The large set, combined with stunning visuals and the energy from the 50,000 or so fans in attendance was only heightened by the Downtown Miami backdrop. Deadmau5’s Ultra Music Festival 2011 was a night for him to shine and, no doubt, one for the ages. Be sure to stick with MTV News for more on Ultra Music Festival and the rest of the action during Miami Music Week! Related Videos Pump Your Fist For Miami Music Week Related Photos Miami Music Week
