Crazy World: 'I’ll strip-if-we-win' model unfazed

I’ll strip-if-we-win may move to Paris

(AGENCIES)

Model Poonam Pandey, who has threatened to do a full Monty for the Indian cricket team if the men in blue win, switched off her cellphone on Saturday when India won the World Cup.
 
Sources were quoted by the Times of India as saying the 20-year-old model was being inundated with calls from people either begging her to strip for them or threatening her with dire consequences should she dare go against Indian culture.
 
A defiant Pandey, however, had told TOI on Thursday that if BCCI gives her the permission to strip, she would go ahead with her plans. "Threats don't bother me," she had said.
 
But the model may be facing arrest after R K Pandey filed a case against her in a Bhopal court. The BJP women's wing has also written to the Mumbai police commissioner Arup Patnaik to take action against her.
 
On Friday, Pandey issued a letter to the BCCI about her plans: "I write to you as a great fan of cricket and above all a patriotic Indian. I want India to win the Cricket World Cup 2011, and I am willing to go the extra mileage"
 
She added that "going nude in private with consenting adults for a therapeutic purpose" is not an offence, and said that a contract for the same could be drawn up as the BCCI is not a government body. She suggested that the BCCI choose another country such as Paris for her striptease to avoid controversy.
 
Pandey goes on to add: "I am serious about it as many studies conducted by various universities abroad confirm such performances boost and inspire people to perform better in any field, be it sports or otherwise.''
 
Miley to sue over sex doll

(AP)
 
Pop starlet Miley Cyrus is reportedly "disgusted" that an inflatable sex doll resembling her has gone on sale.
 
The teen star is said to be so upset by the Finally Mylie love doll that she is planning to sue the company responsible, according to The Sun.
 
But the blow-up effigy has flown off the shelves.
 
Kevin Johnson of Pipedream Products, the company behind the doll, said: "We are completely sold out already - it's been on the market for less than 48 hours."
 
The wayward Disney star, 18, is not the first celebrity to be recreated as a sex toy. 
 
Lady Gaga, Britney Spears, Kim Kardashian, Pamela Anderson and Beyonce also have sex blow-up replicas made in their honour.

Man with pot busted in doughnut truck

(AGENCIES)

FLORIDA man caught with plastic bag of marijuana in a stolen Krispy Kreme truck told police he took the vehicle because he was tired and needed somewhere to sleep.

The Ocala Star-Banner reported Randall Travis Roberts, 20, is accused of stealing a GMC box truck, full of the sweet treats, from a Walmart parking lot in Haines City 64 kilometres south of Orlando, Florida.

He was then involved in a small accident in Ocala, nearly 160 kilometres away.

When Ocala police arrived at the scene they discovered 10 grams of marijuana in a plastic bag on the floor of the vehicle - with 338 boxes of Krispy Kreme doughnuts in the back.

Roberts told police he had stolen the truck because he was tired of walking and "needed somewhere to sleep."

He then denied the marijuana belonged to him.

He was arrested Thursday and charged with grand theft auto and possession of marijuana less than 20 grams.

It was not known if any of the doughnuts were eaten, The Star-Banner said.

Owner last to know of 'Hitler house'

(AGENCIES)

The owner of the celebrated "Hitler house" has revealed how he first heard it had become an internet sensation for resembling the Fuhrer - in a phone call from Germany.

Pictures of the uncanny end-of-terrace property in Swansea, south Wales, have attracted global attention.

Tens of thousands have chuckled to discover the Fuhrer's distinctive facial features unintentionally recreated in masonry.

Comedian Jimmy Carr was so astounded he posted the picture on his Twitter account and saw it go on to entertain thousands.

But while the celebrity of the otherwise unassuming building spread worldwide, its owner remained unenlightened.

Clive Davies, 60, was oblivious of the kerfuffle caused by the passer-by who first noticed the resemblance and posted a photo online.

The image's global reach finally hit home when his son spotted the picture himself as he read a newspaper on the internet.

Guy Davies, a warrant officer with the 7th Signals Regiment, was sitting in front of a computer in Kabul, Afghanistan, at the time.

He recognised the house as a property in Port Tennant, Swansea, which had been in his family for more than half a century.

He immediately contacted his wife Alison at their home on the British military base in Wildenrath, Germany.

She then quickly called her father-in-law in Swansea and belatedly passed on news that had already been around the world.

"I have never noticed any similarity before and most people who pass by are so close they probably never notice," Davies told the South Wales Evening Post.

"Some people say they can see images of Jesus Christ on items such as toast, and I suppose it is just a variation on a theme.

"I don't really think it looks like Hitler."
