KIM AND KANYE: Homeowners

Looks like Kim Kardashian and Kanye West's love child will have a nice place to grow up -- they just dropped $11 million on a mansion.

The 10,000-square-foot pad is in a gated community in Bel Air, California, but they haven't moved in yet. They're gutting the place to create a 14,000-square-foot Italian-style villa. It will have a gym, a movie theater, a full hair and makeup salon, a bowling alley, a basketball court, and indoor and outdoor pools.

Their neighbors will include Jennifer Aniston, hoops star Chris Paul and -- just in case Kim wants to make another amateur porn film -- Girls Gone Wild mogul Joe Francis.

WEIRD NEWS: Dumping Her Hubby

A Florida woman found a unique way to comment on her husband's crappy behavior – by pooping on the floor outside the bedroom after finding him in bed with another woman.

Brenda Schumann let off some steam by leaving the steamer on the carpet when she caught the cheater in the act – then following it up by telling him he was number one by making number one alongside. She then grabbed a gun and began blasting away at items that her hubby valued before dropping the weapon and fleeing the scene.

Cops tracked her down at a nearby apartment and charged her with domestic violence and assault. She must have been wiped out after all that! (Huffington Post)

WEIRD NEWS: Stripped of Their Licenses

A Texas lawmaker wants to put an end to strippers taking it all off in nightclubs – by requiring them to display a license on their person while they're onstage.

Republican State Representative Bill Zedler thinks he can make professional clothes-shedding safer for everyone by demanding that dancers be licensed – although he hasn't explained exactly what sort of test might be administered to potential shakers of the groove thing. He says that his goal is to make it more difficult for gals to get stripper gigs, and discourage some from taking that path.

Zedler say,s "I think it would keep a lot of girls from getting involved in that lifestyle and basically wrecking their lives." (Fort Worth Star-Telegram)

WEIRD NEWS: Assault With a Deadly Root Beer

A woman in Washington state called cops to demand that something be done to remedy a serious situation – the fact that she wanted to be taken to prison, despite the fact that she hadn't committed any crime.

The woman, whose name was not released, was hanging out at a convenience store when cops responded to a call she'd made asking for a one-way trip to jail. When the officer told her he needed a reason to haul her in, she asked, "What if I assault you?" before popping him in the nose with a plastic soda bottle.

She then turned and offered her hands for cuffing, which the officer agreed to, taking her in on charges of felony assault on a police officer. Wouldn't a simple jaywalk have done the trick? (UPI)

DJANGO UNCHAINED: Action Figures Ignite New Controversy

The controversy swirling over Django Unchained has moved to the toy aisle.

Action figures based on the characters of slavery-era flick are for sale -- which has gotten some folks pretty steamed. Project Islamic Hope and "a coalition of African-American community leaders" are calling for a boycott of the toys. Najee Ali, director of Project Islamic Hope, called the figures "a slap in the face of our ancestors... We feel that it trivializes the horrors of slavery and what African Americans experienced."

Unlike director Spike Lee, who has blasted the movie for using the N-word more than 100 times, Ali says his objections were not with the film, which he says he liked and has seen twice.

Django Unchained, which has made more than $100 million at the box office, has been nominated for five Golden Globes.
