Posted in: Bizzare Stories — PR-inside Entertainment News @ 9:34 pm

A two-year-old girl sneaked onto a plane to Egypt after running away from her parents at a German airport.
The parents of Ana Miele realised she had gone missing as they were boarding a flight to Tunisia at Nuernberger airport.
Air traffic control alerted pilots after they searched the airport and failed to locate the child.
Finally a stewardess on a flight to Egypt reported the little girl was on her plane.
The stewardess said: "She took a seat as good as gold and strapped herself in. No one had any idea that she was alone." The plane hadn’t taken off, so the girl was safely returned to her worried parents.

A Russian man has divorced his wife of 18 years following a row over courgettes.

He fumed: "She knows I absolutely hate pumpkins and she lied to me for months about it just because the pumpkins were cheap.
"What else has Irene been lying about? What man could trust a woman who fed him pumpkins for half a year?"

Jesus "sparking" Christ

Posted in: Bizzare Stories — PR-inside Entertainment News @ 9:34 pm

UK gallery-goers have been left spooked after claiming they saw sparks shooting from the eyes of a Jesus statue.
Some art lovers claim the steel and bronze Brian Burgess Christ figure - on display at the Liverpool Academy of Art - possesses miraculous trance-inducing powers.
Academy manager June Lurnie said: "Some people have said the portrait is evil and they can see sparks in Jesus’ eyes. Others actually kneel down and go into a trance convinced they are connecting with God." The statue, entitled ‘Cleansing of the Temple’, is the most controversial item ever displayed at the Academy and depicts an angry Christ brandishing a whip.
Burgess said one woman was transfixed for thirty minutes after preying before the statue and falling into a trance.

Posted in: Bizzare Stories — PR-inside Entertainment News @ 9:34 pm

A German tourist has been arrested for removing his trousers at a Philippines airport after security staff annoyed him.
Hans Jurgen Oskar von Naguschewski, 66, was so cross after being made to go through the X-ray machine twice, he whipped off his slacks in protest.

His impromptu strip could result in a prison sentence of between six months and six years.
Police Superintendent Atilano Morada said: "He actually didn’t say much, unlike Filipino passengers who would talk a lot.
"He was clearly irked and he showed it by disrobing." Airport security chief Angel Atutubo added: "He must have been annoyed that he was asked to walk through the X-ray twice so he took off his pants."

Thousand mile pizza run

Posted in: Bizzare Stories — PR-inside Entertainment News @ 9:34 pm

An Italian lawyer paid £2,150 and flew a private chef 1,000 miles to surprise his wife with a special Valentine’s Day pizza.
Maurizio Morelli won the elaborate treat - which has been named the Pizza Royale 007 - in a charity auction on eBay in November.
Glasgow based restaurateur Domenico Crolla flew to Rome to prepare the 12-inch feast - with toppings of edible gold, champagne-soaked caviar and lobster marinated in the finest Cognac - and surprised Morelli’s wife Sabrina at their local restaurant.
Crolla said: "This is the perfect romantic Valentine’s gift.
"We Italians are experts at ‘amore’ and I think this pizza will show that the way to a woman’s heart is definitely through her stomach." Proceeds went to The Fred Hollows Foundation, which aims to prevent curable blindness in developing countries.

Swear school

Posted in: Bizzare Stories — PR-inside Entertainment News @ 9:34 pm

An Austrian primary school teacher who gave his class of nine-year-olds a lesson on swear words is now facing the sack.
Michael Brechter, 57, who teaches at the Kematen Primary School in the province of Upper Austria, sent his class home with an unusual homework request - to write homework about words like ‘a**e’, ’sh*t’, ‘moron’ and ‘tart’.
But the novel approach didn’t impress parents and Brechter’s boss.
Brechter said: "I was not teaching them anything they did not already know.
"It was an attempt to make school lively and fun. My ultimate aim was to show what words should not be used."

A US company have ‘pimped’ a toilet.
The customised toilet features a laptop computer, flat-screen TV, an iPod and speakers, an Xbox, a refrigerator filled with drinks and snacks and a cycling machine.
Roto-Rooter, the company behind the luxury loo, spent $US5,000 modifying the toilet which they plan to give away in an online sweepstake.
Steven Pollyea, Roto-Rooter vice president of marketing, said: "The bathroom is the perfect place for your very own throne. It shouldn’t always be regarded as the room of last resort.
"The average person spends 11,862 hours in the bathroom, which equals one year, four months and five days in a lifetime. A toilet should be the most wonderful location in your home."

SPEARS IN ANOTHER CAR SEAT CONTROVERSY

Posted in: Entertainment — PR-inside Entertainment News @ 9:10 pm

Pop star BRITNEY SPEARS has sparked another car seat controversy after being photographed with her young sons not properly strapped into her vehicle.
The TOXIC singer caused a world-wide controversy last year (06) when she failed to put her son SEAN PRESTON in a car seat while trying to escape the paparazzi.
On 12 February (07) Spears was spotted in the backseat of a car in New York City with her two sons, Sean, 17 months and JAYDEN JAMES, five months.
Photos revealed that Jayden was facing the wrong way in his car seat, while the straps meant to restrain Sean were falling around his arms.
Child safety seat advocate ALISA BAER slams the star telling American publication Us Weekly, "She has five-month-old Jayden James forward-facing. "To decrease the risk of serious spinal cord injury and death, kids must be at least one year old and at least 20 pounds (nine kilograms) before riding forward-facing.
"It also appears that Sean Preston’s straps are way too loose - they appear to have slipped down to his elbows - again the same mistake she made earlier with him."

New Yorkers fancying a spot of poetry now need go no further than their local launderette.
Local writer Emily Ruben thought it was about time a wash and spin cycle became a more arty experience and organised a series of readings called ‘Dirty Laundry: Loads of Prose’, at laundrettes across New York.
Ruben - who describes herself as the "Mistress of Laundry" - said of the project which started last year: "Just mixing laundry and writing seemed completely natural to me because truly in life and metaphorically as a writer, everyone has dirty laundry."

Bilk round

Posted in: Bizzare Stories — PR-inside Entertainment News @ 9:09 pm

A Japanese liquor shop owner has come up with an unusual solution for the country’s excess milk supplies - they are using it to make beer.
‘Bilk’ - a combination of 30 per cent milk and beer - went on sale earlier this month and, apart from a faint milky scent, it looks and tastes just like ordinary beer.
Chitoshi Nakahara, head of the Nakahara liquor shop on the northernmost island of Hokkaido, said: "We came up with the idea after hearing about surplus milk." The shop spent six months developing Bilk with a local brewer after Hokkaido was forced to dispose of nearly 900 tonnes of surplus milk last March.
Due to popular demand, Bilk - which is available in six local shops and by mail order - is currently out of stock.

A UK restaurant is offering size zero models a chance to get some meat on their bones - with free slap-up meals.
In response to the size zero scandal - in which skeletal models are being blamed for encouraging eating disorders in young girls - trendy London eatery ‘Bumpkin’ is inviting London Fashion Week models with a Body Mass Index (BMI) of less then 18 to gorge on fish pies, lamb burgers, kind prawns and scallops free of charge.
General manager Dariush Nejad said: "If I could recommend a dish to a size zero model, it would be a charter pie containing leeks, chicken and bacon; it’s enough to keep you warm and energised all day." To claim their free meal models simply have to show up with their modelling cards stating they’re a size zero.

Posted in: Bizzare Stories — PR-inside Entertainment News @ 9:09 pm

The Church of England has published a guide advising couples to marry on the cheap.
The Christian church is worried people spend too much on weddings and recommends they marry in second-hand clothes and host their own wedding receptions The new guide says: "Ignore the spend, spend, spend culture and embrace a more simplistic approach".
The average cost of a UK wedding is £17,000, with the bride’s dress alone costing an average of £826.
Guide author Rev Andrew Body says brides should travel to their wedding by taxi and wear a second-hand dress bought from a charity shop.
He suggests asking guests to take their own alcohol to the reception, but also suggests cutting the environmental costs by splashing out on organic and fair trade food for the reception.
