OCTOMOM: Off the Rails Again?

Octomom Nadya Suleman has gone off the rails again -- at least if you believe TMZ's anonymous sources.

The site says Octo is acting similarly to the way she was last fall, when she was videotaped -- right before she went to rehab -- "wearing a onesie as she cackles hysterically, cradling a drink." According to the site, friends are again worried that she's unable to care for her 14 kids.

BONNIE FRANKLIN: Friends React to Her Death

Friends are reacting to the death of Bonnie Franklin.

Valerie Bertinelli calls Bonnie "a second mother to me... My heart is breaking... The years on One Day at a Time were some of the happiest of my life, and along with Pat [Harrington] and Mackenzie [Phillips], we were a family in every way. She taught me how to navigate this business and life itself with grace and humor, and to always be true to yourself. I will miss her terribly."

Producer Norman Lear, who developed the long-running series, says, "I was wrong -- I thought life forces never die. Bonnie was such a life force. Bubbly, always up, the smile never left her face."

Franklin died this morning (Friday) at age 69 of pancreatic cancer.

WEIRD NEWS: Stop! Hammer Time!

A group of construction workers in Texas called cops for help because they didn't want to get hammered – by an out-of-control man who was throwing the tools at them at a work site.

Darron Lynn Koenig, who was also armed with a knife, began the hail of hammers out of nowhere, hitting one contractor in the arm and causing a crack to the hard hat of a second man. When he spotted police responding to the scene, Koenig barricaded himself in a tool shed for two hours while the officers tried to talk him into surrendering.

Koenig then made a move to set the shed on fire with himself in it, at which point cops stormed the building and tasered him into submission. He's charged with assault with a deadly weapon. (Click 2 Houston)

WEIRD NEWS: A Pain in the Butt

A Florida woman who was taking a stab at drug smuggling was arrested along with several accomplices after a traffic stop in which she admitted to hiding a hypodermic needle filled with opiates – up her butt!

Cops pulled over a car driven by Jordon Greus because it had faulty brake lights, and found him to have cocaine hidden inside his prosthetic leg, while the three women riding along with him all had illegal stashes of prescription pills in their possession.

Alexis Clancey, who had pills in her wallet, was subjected to some sharp questions by an officer on the scene and admitted that she had chosen a heinous hiding place for the more serious narcotics before pulling out the needle to turn it over to the cop. (Huffington Post)

WEIRD NEWS: P.O.'ed at the P.D.

 An Illinois man who was busted on charges of driving while intoxicated decided to compound the D.U.I. by committing a P.U.I. – by peeing on the jailhouse door as he was leaving the building.

Keith Klein was in custody for about 30 minutes while he arranged bail and filled out paperwork for the drunk driving charge, but he apparently couldn't hold back his stream of ... unhappiness, and let loose against the door in full view of a surveillance camera.

The officer who hauled him in the first time walked out and brought him back for an encore in the holding cell. (Courier Press)

WEIRD NEWS: Strip Maul

Two Los Angeles gang members probably feel like boobs after robbing and kidnapping a man, and forcing him to drive them to a strip club – where they hung out long enough for cops to take them into custody.

The unidentified victim was standing in front of his house when Miguel Ortiz and Sergio Maldonado walked up to him, brandished a gun and demanded he drive them around doing errands, culminating with a stop at the Bare Elegance gentlemen's club. When they arrived there, they took the man's wallet – probably hoping for a wad of singles – and went inside.

Their evening of carousing was nipped in the bud by cops a short time later, and both were hauled off to the pokey. (KCBS)

WEIRD NEWS: Finger Sandwiched!

A New Mexico man is feeling a little run down after an incident in which he bit off a piece of his brother-in-law's finger, and was then hit by a car when fleeing to avoid a four-finger fist sandwich.

Leando Sage was fighting with his girlfriend when her brother, identified as Robert Martinez, intervened. The two men began to tussle, and Sage decided to do more than just mouth off, chomping down on Martinez's pinkie, severing it at the first joint.

Sage fled the scene after figuring out he'd bitten off more than he could chew, then ran into the street, where he was blindsided by an oncoming vehicle. He was treated and released at a local hospital, but arrested on assault charges. (Columbus Republic)

BONNIE FRANKLIN: One Day at a Time Star Dead at 69   

Bonnie Franklin, whose Ann Romano was one of the most memorable sitcom moms of the '70s, died early today (Friday) at her home in Los Angeles. She was 69, and had been diagnosed with pancreatic cancer last September.

Starring in One Day at a Time, Franklin played a divorced woman raising two daughters played by Mackenzie Phillips and Valerie Bertinelli while determined to retain her independence. Unlike other single moms, her character didn't seem urgent to find a boyfriend or re-marry. And the episodes often dealt with topical issues such as runaways, birth control, sexual harassment and suicide. Bonnie told us when the series was honored at the 2012 TV Land Awards, "We were just reflecting what was going on in the country." 

CHARLIE SHEEN: I Want to Mentor Lindsay Lohan [updated]

Charlie Sheen thinks he has what it takes to save Lindsay Lohan.

He tells TMZ, "I have a kinship with [Lindsay] who clearly needs a mentor, whether she wants one or not. She can continue to hang out with her dress shredding club buddies, or turn to me for some advice from a guy who's been down the road as well as every other side trail on the journey."

He adds, "If she listens, she'll win. If she doesn't, that's on her."

Charlie has already been helping out the actress after they became fast friends while working together on Scary Movie 5. He gave Lindsay $100,000 to help with her tax problems and assisted her in getting a stylist for a gala event. She's also appearing in an upcoming episode of his FX show Anger Management.

Still, Charlie insists they've never been intimate. "I love her, I respect her, and I've never laid a finger on her that wasn't on film. How ya like me now, America?"

[Update: 5am March 4th] Sources close to Lindsay responded to Charlie's offer. They tell TMZ that he has no business talking about her to the media. Also, her team claims she's regularly in therapy sessions. Therefore, though she's grateful for his earlier assistance, she'll decline his mentorship.

MICHAEL JORDAN: Sued by Alleged Baby Mama

A Georgia woman is suing Michael Jordan for child support -- for a kid she says he fathered in 1995.

Pamela Smith says she hooked up with MJ back in the day and then gave birth to his son Grant Pierce Jay Jordan Reynolds in June 1996. Jordan was married at the time of the alleged tryst. Smith is asking for child support and money for the boy's medical expenses, and insists that Michael take a paternity test. She also wants a judge to change the kid's legal last name to Jordan.

The boy -- who goes by Taj -- is scheduled to get married in May.

JIMMY KIMMEL: Oscars Host?

Seth MacFarlane says he won't return and Tina Fey doesn't want any part of the job, but Jimmy Kimmel is said to be the frontrunner to be next year's Oscars host.

According to the New York Post, ABC -- which owns the rights to the telecast through 2020 -- is pushing for Kimmel to MC. Execs were happy with his ratings in his post-Oscars show Sunday night, and they think he'd do a great job hosting the shindig. But sources at the Academy say that it's too soon to speculate, because the organization has yet to appoint a new president.

It's probably safe to say that if Kimmel hosts, Morrissey won't be performing on the show.

TORI SPELLING: Firing Back at Star

Tori Spelling is pissed at Star magazine.

Earlier this week, the gossip rag printed a cover with photos of her, her husband Dean McDermott and their four kids, with the screaming headline "DIVORCE." Tori says she'd normally just ignore that kind of stuff -- except that her five-year-old son Liam saw the magazine when they were standing in a checkout line at the supermarket.

Tori's written an open letter that says, "[Liam] first spotted me on the cover, then Dad, and then a picture of himself and his three younger siblings. He was able to read two things out loud, the word DIVORCE (which he proudly sounded out) and the caption above his picture which read, 'Who will get the kids?' He became terrified. I had to hurry him and his confused four-year-old sister Stella out of the grocery store and into our car. By the time he was fastening himself into his car seat he was asking, 'Why is someone getting us? Where are you and Dad going?'"

Tori's letter doesn't ask for any kind of settlement or even an apology. She concludes by writing, "Our children should never have to bear witness to lies and fabrications that affect their lives so that a media outlet can make money. That will always be wrong!"

JAY LENO: Retiring?

Looks like NBC is ready to let Jay Leno go.

Sources say execs are "moving toward a May announcement that the 2013-14 television season will be the last" for Jay as host of The Tonight Show. Jimmy Fallon is expected to replace him with a soft launch during the summer of 2014 before a formal fall kickoff.

NBC denies the talk, and Jay's rep says, "We do not speculate on rumor." Jay left The Tonight Show in May 2009 and then took it back from Conan O'Brien in March 2010.

STUDY: Women Weigh More Because They Do Less Housework

Americans have gotten heavier over the past 50 years. Many people point fingers at processed foods, fast food and large portion sizes. A new study, however, has a whole different theory – and you might find it offensive. According to a new study in PLOS ONE, a science and medical journal based in San Francisco, women are heavier because they're not doing as much housework as they used to!

In 1965, women spent nearly 26 hours a week dusting and mopping their houses to perfection, but by 2010, that dropped to 13 hours a week.  In 45 years, the average woman has gained 22 pounds. Working full time, raising kids and cleaning house 26 hours a week ... that's just not possible in 2013. But blaming a decrease in housework for weight gain seems ridiculous, no? (ABC)
