Man Divorced, Sued Wife For Being 'Incredibly Ugly'

A Chinese judge has awarded a man $120,000 after he sued his ex-wife for being ugly.

That man is Jian Feng and he said his issues with his wife’s looks only began after the couple’s daughter was born. Feng was appalled by the child’s appearance, calling her “incredibly ugly” and saying she resembled neither one of her parents. With that being the case, Feng initially accused his wife of cheating. It was at that point that his wife, who has not been named, came forward, saying she had spent $100,000 on intense plastic surgeries to drastically change her appearance before she met Feng. She never told Feng about those surgeries. When Feng found out about the procedures, he filed the lawsuit. He said the woman convinced him to marry her under false pretenses.

Couple Calls 911 to Complain About Aliens Invading Their Home

Shhhhhh. What's that sound?

A couple reportedly called police four times within a seven-hour period last week insisting that alien-like creatures had invaded their Elliot Drive home, noting the situation was creating havoc in their lives. “On Oct. 14 at 4:36 a.m., I responded to Elliot Drive in reference to an ongoing unknown problem,” Officer James Wilkinson reported in a Murfreesboro Police Department incident report. “Upon my arrival, I made contact with the complainants.” The woman said that since Saturday night she had seen “a number of people in her yard and house,” Wilkinson reported. “(The woman) stated there were green men hiding their face from her before police arrived,” he reported. “She also stated that the people had been in her house hiding and moving things around.” According to the report, the woman and her husband did not know exactly how the aliens were able to gain entry to their home. While speaking with the couple, Wilkinson reported he became concerned that they appeared “mentally unaware of their surroundings,” noting that they had already called three times before he responded in reference to the same situation. Even though police had not found any evidence of such creatures during the previous three visits, Wilkinson still conducted a search of the home to make sure the pair was not in any danger. “There were no signs of forced entry or vandalism … during any of the above listed calls,” he reported.

Lady Fakes Her Own Kidnapping to Get Day Off From Work

And the donkey of the day is .... Sheila Bailey Eubank. The 48-year-old San Antonio woman is facing perjury charges after police say she faked her own kidnapping to get a day off from work. True story.

An officer on patrol went to check out a car parked near Ray Ellison and Five Palms around 6:30 p.m. on October 10th. When the officer looked inside the car, he spotted [Sheila] bound with rope. An arrest warrant affidavit states Eubank told police a man jumped into her car around 6:15 a.m. while she was at a Security Service Federal Credit Union ATM near Loop 1604 and Bandera Road. Eubank said the man held her an knife point and forced her to drive him to various locations for what she believed were drug deals. She told officers he then assaulted her, tried to choke her with a rope, and then tied her up and left her in her car. However, officers discovered a lottery ticket in Eubank's purse that was purchased that day during the hours she claimed she was being held. Investigators reviewed surveillance video from the store where the lottery ticket was purchased and found out she had entered the store by herself and appeared "healthy, unhurried, and pleasant with the clerk." Investigators then reviewed video from the Security Service Federal Credit Union where Eubank claimed she was abducted. The video showed withdrawing money from the motor ATM, but there were no signs that anyone else was with her. Police say when Eubank was confronted by investigators, she eventually admitted her story was false and that she simply wanted a day off from work and wanted attention.

Update, Oct. 19: Here's the news video, which includes the donkey's mug shot.

Woman Forced to Share Home With Squatter Who Just So Happens to be a Presidential Candidate

This story made headlines last week and it's bizarre. A Detroit homeowner named Heidi Peterson purchased a home for $23,000 then rented it out to several tenants in 2010, but was forced to evict everyone once the city (shocker!) deemed the $23,000 house uninhabitable. After being away for a year (We don't where she was. Jail? Psych hospital? The moon?), Heidi finally went back to the property last week where she found one of the former tenants was still living there and refused to leave. According to Heidi, the squatter -- a crazy person named Missionary-Tracey Elaine Blair -- changed the locks, did some construction, replaced the appliances and put a lien on the house. Heidi says they're forced to sleep one room away from each other. Yesterday, Missionary-Tracey, who's running for president of the United States, decided to move out. She told the local Fox affiliate she and Heidi are just two friends who had a disagreement. "She's confused. She doesn't know my motives. She thought that I was going to take her property, but I wouldn't do that because I wouldn't be blessed by God. I wouldn't have good luck if I take this property knowing that she has an interest in it," Missionary-Tracey said. Both of these women are nutjobs. Just sayin'.

Teacher Uploads Topless Photos of Herself to Students' iPads, Students Get Suspended For Looking at the Photos

13-year-old Joshua Troutt and three of his classmates at Highland Middle School in Anderson, Indiana, were playing on their school-issued iPad while in class on Monday when one of the boys pressed a button and a photo of their teacher's bare breasts popped up. The boys were immediately suspended and are facing expulsion, but the teacher is still employed by the school. Weird.

Update, Oct. 18: The cops are now involved. They claim the photo showed the teacher partially exposed from the neck down, but that her breasts were not showing. "Since the material was not pornographic in nature and no other criminal violation could be gleaned from the evidence as presented, the matter was turned over to the school and the police investigation closed," Detective Joel P. Sandefur of the Anderson Police Department said in a written statement. The school, meanwhile, still refuses to comment; the teacher is still employed and the boys are still suspended.

WATCH: Secret Recording Exposes the NYPD's Discriminatory Stop-and-Frisk Policy

This is an interesting video. You should watch it. NYC sergeants and commanders pressure officers to write more tickets. One of the easiest way to reach that quota is through a controversial stop-and-frisk procedure, where officers "hunt" black and Latino young men for being black and Latino. One of those individuals who was continually stopped is Alvin. During one of those stops In Harlem, the 17-year-old secretly recorded two plainclothes officers who are overheard saying they stopped him because he looked "suspicious" and was going to be arrested for "being a f--king mutt."

Lady Tells Cops They Can't Arrest Her Because She's a Republican

Charlene Idelle Hunziker of Council Bluffs, Iowa is a mess! The 47-year-old was charged with public intoxication and harassment of public officials last Friday after she created a disturbance at a PF Chang's China Bistro. According to diners, Charlene -- who was drinking -- unleashed in a political rant and police was called.

Officer Chris Morgan said in his report that when he arrived, Hunziker reportedly yelled at him and said he didn’t need to be there because “she was a Republican.”
Hunziker reportedly refused a sobriety test and admitted to having consumed alcohol, but insisted she was not drunk, according to the report. A witness reportedly told Morgan that Hunziker was drunk and had been bothering other customers with her opinions about the previous night’s presidential debate, her support for Romney and her belief that “Obama had ruined this country and ... Muslims were causing America all these problems.” The woman’s daughter proclaimed her mother “an embarrassment” and walked out of the restaurant, the witness said. When restaurant employees asked Hunziker to leave, she “got in the employees’ face and told them that she had rights and was refusing to leave.” After the woman told Morgan she was a Republican, he told her that he couldn’t just leave – a statement she reportedly argued, according to the officer’s narrative of the encounter. The report said Hunziker kicked, screamed and struggled as Morgan and a backup officer tried to handcuff her and place her in the squad car. En route to the police station, where she was booked before being transported to the Polk County Jail, Hunziker reportedly said that “she was doing this because she was a good mother.”

Man Dies After Winning Cockroach-Eating Contest

Yes, this happened in Florida. The winner of a cockroach-eating contest collapsed and later died after eating dozens of live cockroaches and worms. The man -- 32-year-old Edward Archbold of West Palm Beach, won the contest at the Ben Siegel Reptile Store in Deerfield Beach on Friday. The grand prize was a python. A donkey gonna do, what a gonna do. That is all. The store says they're not to blame and Edward's family can't sue them. “All participants in the contest were entirely aware of what they were doing and that they signed thorough waivers accepting responsibility for their participation in this unique and unorthodox contest. The consumption of insects is widely accepted throughout the world, and the insects presented as part of the contest were taken form an inventory of insects that are safely and domestically raised in a controlled environment as food for reptiles. Once Mr. Archbold showed signs of distress, his companion represented that he had summoned emergency personnel and was going to immediately take him to the hospital. Moments later, Mr.Siegel made an independent call to 911 and Mr. Archbold was administered CPR. Mr. Siegel and his staff did all that anyone could to try and help Mr. Archbold, and they send out their deepest sympathy to the family.” UPDATE: Here's live video of the roach-eating contest.

This Woman is Wanted By Police For 'Molesting' a Manatee

According to the arrest affidavit, Spurling's wife called 911 and reported he pushed her down during an argument and rubbed a sandwich in her face.

Conrad Murray Sues to Keep Medical License

Conrad Murray, the doctor serving a four-year jail sentence for killing Michael Jackson, believes when he's released from jail he'll be able to practice medicine again. That's probably never -- never -- going to happen. Like the state of California, the state of Texas doesn't believe that's going to happen, either. So authorities revoked Conrad Murray's medical license yesterday. Immediately there after, the good doctor filed a lawsuit to prevent the revocation of his medical license claiming he had agreed to an indefinite suspension of his license pending the outcome of the California criminal case and that the conviction is not final because his appeal is pending. "The board is only going forward on the sole ground that as Murray has been preliminarily convicted of a felony in California, the board may revoke his license," the complaint says. "California law states that a conviction is not final until appeals are complete and remittitur is issued form the appellate courts (like a mandate in Texas)." Good luck with that. The chances of him winning on appeal or being able to practice medicine anywhere in the US is next to none. Just sayin'.

Cissy Houston Files Petition Against Bobbi Kristina Seeking Modifications to Her Inheritance Payments

It's going down! Bobbi Kristina has yet to get her hands on a large chunk of the estimated $20 million she inherited from her mother Whitney Houston, who drowned earlier this year, but after a legal move by the trustees of Whitney's estate -- granny Cissy Houston and aunt Marion "Pat" Houston -- Bobbi Kris may have to wait a while. According to the petition filed in Atlanta last week, the trustees want to remove an "undue influence" (read: her boyfriend/brother/alleged drug dealer Nick Gordon) and want the inheritance dispursement schedule restructured. Whitney signed a will a couple months before her birth in 2003 which left everything to Bobbi Kristina, who's now 19 years old. According to the will, Whitney's fortune was to be placed into a trust and upon turning 21, Bobbi Kristina would receive part of it, then more of the money at age 25 and the balance at age 30. Cissy and Pat are demanding Bobbi Kristina appear in court to answer their complaint.

The trustees say in the petition that Kristina "is a highly visible target for those who would exert undue influence over her inheritance and/or seek to benefit from respondent's resources and celebrity." The schedule of distributions of Brown's inheritance conflict with Whitney's Houston's "intent to provide long-term financial security and protection for her child," they add. "Compliance with the provisions of the trust would defeat or substantially impair the accomplishment of the purposes of the trust, which were to provide for the proper maintenance and comfort of the respondent, and to prevent the wasting of trust assets, as evidence by the trust's spendthrift provision," the petition states. The five-page document does not go into specifics, but the trustees say that any proposed amendment will still allow Kristina to live comfortably.

Sidebar: In case you're wondering what the legal definition of "undue influence" is, it's "improper influence that deprives a person of freedom of choice or substitutes another's choice or desire for the person's own compare coercion, duress, necessity."

University Professor Curses Out Students, Strips Naked

A Michigan State University professor is getting the help he needs tonight after he lost his damn mind earlier today. During math class, the unnamed professor shouted obscenities at students, pounded on walls and furniture before taking off all his clothing except his socks and walking out into the hallway. Officers soon arrived and took him into protective custody and transported him to a local hospital. He was not charged with crime.


Update, May 2: Here's a student account of what went down. "“I was in Calc 1 at Michigan State University, and my teacher was always pretty eccentric, but today he went overboard. Half way through class he started screaming at us, swearing left and right,” the student said. “He then started slamming his hands on the window and pressing his face against it, still screaming. Eventually he walked out and down the hallway to the end, all while screaming. He then came back into the classroom and took off his clothes, except for his socks. You know someone’s crazy when they leave their socks on lmao. At this point everyone in class ran out. We were literally scared for our lives. The police took about 15 minutes to get here and during this time he continued walking around screaming.”" Another student added: "As someone who is also in this class, I can confirm his eccentricity. He wore the same set of clothes every single day up until today and his mind never seemed to be stable. Everyone in the class could probably have seen this coming from day one, it was just a matter of time until it happened. He made the weirdest analogies, the most notable being about beating his wife.”"

Sounds like he was suffering from "dehydration" and "exhaustion."
