WEIRD NEWS: The Thighs Have It!

Some women in Japan are getting a leg up on the economic crisis by moonlighting in advertising – via ads placed on their thighs!

A company called Absolute Territory is recruiting gals to have temporary tattoos rubbed onto the exposed flesh of their lower thighs – an area often exposed because young women in the country like to wear short skirts and thigh-high stockings. As long as they can prove they've shown off their wares for a full eight hours each day, the ladies collect a paycheck.

As proof of their efforts, participants must post pictures of themselves "wearing" an ad on their Facebook and Twitter pages or other social media sites. (Orange News)

WEIRD NEWS: Extra Crispy, Extra Dumb!

A KFC employee in Tennessee made a boob of himself by losing his job for making a breast-shaped mound of mashed potatoes and posing for photos of himself licking the potato creation before placing it in an oven.

The guy, whose name was not released, posted the snaps of his mammary memories on Facebook – where it got a lot of attention after a local TV station re-posted it on their page. A chain spokesperson said the man, whose name was not released "to respect his privacy," was fired immediately, and the location was closed down for inspection.

In a statement, the KFC rep said, "Nothing is more important to KFC than food safety. As soon as our franchisee became aware of the issue, immediate action was taken. The franchisee's investigation confirmed the photos were taken after the restaurant was closed and none of the food was served." (Daily Dot)

THE OSCARS: Argo & Life of Pi Win Big   

Argo was crowned Best Picture at Sunday’s Oscars. Best Actor went to Daniel Day-Lewis for Lincoln. Jennifer Lawrence took home Best Actress for Silver Linings Playbook and Ang Lee was named Best Director for Life of Pi.

BIG WINNERS

Argo’s director and star Ben Affleck broke down in tears recalling his first days in Hollywood while accepting the win with his producing partner George Clooney. Affleck gushed to wife Jennifer Garner in the audience and said, “There are eight great films that have every right, as much a right to be up here as we do.” Presenter Jack Nicholson was joined by Michelle Obama from the White House to crown the night’s big winner.

Jennifer Lawrence took a tumble on the way to the stage in accepting Best Actress for Silver Linings Playbook. It sparked a standing ovation that she asked to end over embarrassment.

Anne Hathaway was teary in accepting for Les Miserables. She beat out Amy Adams (The Master), Sally Field (Lincoln), Helen Hunt (The Sessions) and Jacki Weaver (Silver Linings Playbook).

Adele performed and picked up Best Song for the title track to Skyfall, marking the first time a James Bond theme has won the award. Adele took the stage with co-writer and producer Paul Epworth and tearfully thanked him for "believing in me all the time."

Christoph Waltz took home Best Supporting Actor for his turn as a bounty hunter in Django Unchained, beating nominees Alan Arkin (Argo), Robert De Niro (Silver Linings Playbook), Philip Seymour Hoffman (The Master) and Tommy Lee Jones (Lincoln).

HOST HIGHLIGHTS

Seth MacFarlane’s music-heavy opening saw William Shatner beam in from the future as Captain Kirk to show the error of Seth’s hosting ways. Seth gave us a salute to boobs that have been bared in the movies, a dance number with Joseph Gordon Levitt and Daniel Radcliffe, Flight reenacted with sock puppets and some hitting on Sally Field while in a Flying Nun suit. MacFarlane referred to the violence in Django Unchained as “a date movie” for Chris Brown and Rihanna.

WEIRD MOMENTS

Kristen Stewart and Renee Zellweger got people talking for all the wrong reasons. Zellweger appeared on staged with the reunited cast of Chicago and appeared out of sorts, swaying as the other stars stood still, and then she had trouble reading the winners after the envelopes were opened.

Kristen Stewart looked like a hot mess, hobbling on stage to present an award. She was on crutches backstage after cutting her foot on glass. Anne Hathaway told her to "break a leg" before she took the stage and then realized maybe that wasn't the right thing to say.

MUSICAL MOMENTS

Barbra Streisand took the stage to perform “The Way We Were” with a nod to the late composer Marvin Hamlisch as part of the In Memoriam segment. Other late stars that were featured included Ernest Borgnine, Jack Klugman, Beastie Boy Adam Yauch, Michael Clarke Duncan, Nora Ephron and Ray Bradbury.

Dame Shirley Bassey got a standing ovation for a performance of “Goldfinger” as part of a 50th anniversary tribute to James Bond. Bond girl Halle Berry introduced the longtime Bond balladeer and said the music is “as inextricably linked to Bond as the martini, exotic cars and Pussy Galore."

Oscar-nominated musicals were celebrated with "All That Jazz" from Chicago's Catherine Zeta-Jones and "And I'm Telling You" by Jennifer Hudson. Anne Hathaway, Hugh Jackman, Russell Crowe and cast of Les Miserables hit the stage with a medley that opened with "Suddenly."

Kristen Chenoweth joined Seth MacFarlane closed the show with the musical number “Here’s to the Losers.”

MC HAMMER: Arrested, Claims Racial Profiling

MC Hammer claims he was the victim of racial profiling.

The rapper was arrested for obstructing an officer Friday in Dublin, California, prompting him to vent his anger on Twitter. Hammer wrote that was sitting in his car when a deputy approached, tapped on the window and asked him, "Are you on parole or probation?"

Hammer tweeted the deputy then attempted to pull him from his car. He wrote, “It was comical to me until he pulled out his guns, blew his whistle and yelled for help.” He said he was “insulted and humored” by the incident.

A law enforcement rep said Hammer was taken into custody at a gas station after police realized he was in a vehicle that had expired registration and that was not registered to him. "Hammer became very argumentative when questioned about the vehicle. He refused to exit the vehicle when the officer asked him to and continued to argue."

Hammer was released from jail after being booked and posting bail.

STATE-RUN BEAUTY: Women's Haircut Options in North Korea

Being a woman in North Korea is tough enough, but now you can't even get a haircut unless the style is state approved!

Photo cards have been distributed to women depicting the 18 acceptable hairstyles, and they are quite fetching ... that is, if a mullet is your thing.

Apparently, foreign capitalist hairstyles are the enemy, and women who don't conform to the pre-approved styles get reprimanded and ridiculed. Think early 80's hairstyles to give yourself the best visual. (TheFrisky – with photos)
