WEIRD NEWS: Deck the Halls With ... Ecccch

Posted: Tuesday 01:59PM Dec. 11, 2012 PST

A Chicago man couldn't bottle up his emotions, or some of his more physical outpourings last weekend when he waded into a bar fight to stab a stranger with a broken bottle, then decorated the police station he was hauled to with his own feces.

Greg Greaves leapt out of a bathroom stall at a tavern and began to slash the other man with a the business end of a beer bottle, opening gashes on  his face, neck and upper body. Another patron got involved, subduing Greaves until cops could arrive and take the man to the police station where he had another, shall we say, "outburst."

While being booked, the 20-something drunk defecated into his hands and began decking the halls in perhaps the least delightful way possible. He's being held on $500,000 bail. (Chicago Tribune)

WEIRD NEWS: A Meow-Seum Piece!

Posted: Tuesday 02:00PM Dec. 11, 2012 PST

Every "litter" bit helps in the craft of a Big Apple-based artist who uses an all-natural and mostly-gross medium to ensure that they're purr-fect: She packs her paintings with cat poop!

The avant-garde artist, who goes by the name of Siobhan Meow, shares a small apartment with 20 furry friends who are always pitching in on her paintings, which sell for upwards of $1500 a pop.

She recalls the first cat poop painting, saying, "I put a canvas down where [one of my cats] was going outside of the litter box, and he took to it, and started pooping and peeing on different parts of it. I threw some cat hair that I had swept up off the floor on it, and he pushed that around into different patterns."

She's just a whisker a way from becoming the next Picass-Meow. (Huffington Post)

WEIRD NEWS: Arm Robbery

Posted: Tuesday 02:02PM Dec. 11, 2012 PST

A Baltimore-area family nearly had to take arms up against a vandal so intent on damaging the Christmas display in their yard that he sneaked in and stole the arms off their snowman – leaving the rest of Frosty completely intact.

The Grinch in question was captured on surveillance video – which is even better than eyewitness testimony from Cyndi Lou Who – so he apparently decided to temper his naughty with some nice, and returned the appendages the next day, bagged up and ready to reattach.

We're sure the homeowners are hoping the crook will not be back again someday. (NBC Washington)

Charlie Sheen has made another big gift -- this one to someone a little more deserving than Lindsay Lohan.

The girl, a 10-year-old named Jasmine, is the daughter of a Hermosa Beach police officer. She's stricken with Childhood Rhabdomyosarcoma, which hits muscle tissue and requires years of radiation and chemotherapy.

What's more, Charlie's stunt double, Eddie Braun, has donated another $25,000.

According to TMZ, Charlie told Jasmine's father, "No parent should have to watch their kid go through that."

IAN McKELLEN: Prostate Cancer

Posted: Tuesday 09:17AM Dec. 11, 2012 PST

Sir Ian McKellen has prostate cancer.

The 73-year-old star of The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings tells London's Daily Mirror, "I’ve had prostate cancer for six or seven years. When you have got it, you monitor it and you have to be careful it doesn’t spread. But if it is contained in the prostate, it’s no big deal. Many, many men die from it but it’s one of the cancers that is totally treatable so I have ‘waitful watching.’"

The Hobbit opens nationally on Friday.
