HOLLYWOOD DIRT OVERFLOW (11-29-10)

SHOWBIZ TRAGEDY

Leslie Nielsen Has Died:

LESLIE NIELSEN . . . the comedy LEGEND who starred in "Airplane!" and the "Naked Gun" movies . . . died Sunday at a hospital near his home in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. He was 84. --Nielsen had been in the hospital almost two weeks battling pneumonia. His nephew Tweeted that he was surrounded by family and friends as he, quote, "just fell asleep and passed away." --People under a certain age probably wouldn't know this, but Leslie Nielsen was actually known as a SERIOUS actor throughout the first half of his career, in movies such as the 1956 sci-fi classic "Forbidden Planet". --And he was the captain in the 1972 disaster film "The Poseidon Adventure", but he's killed off before the ship flips over by a wave hitting the bridge. --He also did a ton of TV guest appearances, on shows like "Gunsmoke", "Alfred Hitchcock Presents", "M*A*S*H", "Hawaii 5-0", "Kung Fu", "The Love Boat" and "Fantasy Island". --But his career EXPLODED when the writer-director team of Jim Abrahams and Jerry and David Zucker had the brilliant idea of putting his deadpan delivery to comedic use in their 1980 masterpiece "Airplane!" --The four of them teamed up again for "Police Squad!" . . . a TV series in the same comedic vein. Nielsen played bumbling police lieutenant Frank Drebin . . . and it was hilarious . . . but it only lasted a mere 6 episodes in 1982. --But it did spawn the 1988 film "The Naked Gun: From the Files of Police Squad" and its two sequels. --From there, Nielsen became the go-to guy for spoof-type comedies . . . none of which lived up to the brilliance of "Airplane!" or the "Naked Gun" flicks. --They included "Repossessed", Mel Brooks' "Dracula, Dead and Loving It", "Spy Hard", "Wrongly Accused", "Superhero Movie", "Stan Helsing" and the third and fourth flicks in the "Scary Movie" franchise.


John Travolta and Kelly Preston Had Their Baby:

JOHN TRAVOLTA and KELLY PRESTON have another son. Kelly gave birth last Tuesday in a Florida hospital. They announced the kid's name long before he was born. It's Benjamin. (--Kelly is 48 years old. John is 56.) --They issued a statement saying, quote, "John, Kelly and their daughter Ella Bleu are ecstatic and very happy about the newest member of their family. Both mother and baby are healthy and doing beautifully." --Ella is 10 years old. John and Kelly also had a son named Jett, who died tragically at the age of 16, after suffering a seizure while the family was on vacation in the Bahamas in January of 2009.


Is Dane Cook Trying to get with Eva Longoria?

EVA LONGORIA and TONY PARKER aren't even divorced yet . . . but Eva has a new suitor. --DANE COOK Tweeted the following on Friday . . . quote, "Is it too soon to ask Eva Longoria if she's ready to date? I'd like to take her out to dinner, a divorce and then a movie."


Taylor Swift and Jake Gyllenhaal Spent Thanksgiving Weekend Together:

TAYLOR SWIFT and JAKE GYLLENHAAL haven't admitted that they're dating yet. But they don't have to. It's pretty obvious after they spent the entire Thanksgiving Weekend together. --On Thursday morning, Taylor and Jake got maple lattes at a place called Gorilla Coffee in Brooklyn. It's right near where Jake's sister MAGGIE lives and she's a regular there. (--There's no word if Jake and Taylor spent Thanksgiving with Maggie, but it sounds like a possibility.) --On Saturday, they were in Taylor's hometown of Nashville . . . where they got breakfast at a cafe called Fido.


Cameron Diaz and Alex Rodriguez Spent the Weekend In Mexico:

The supposed breakup of CAMERON DIAZ and ALEX RODRIGUEZ didn't hold. They spent the weekend together in Mexico. --A so-called "source" says, quote, "They break up and get back together all the time." --Just last week, they were also spotted enjoying each other on a yacht off the coast of Miami. -After breaking things off with A-Rod last month, Cameron was spotted with "Glee" star MATTHEW MORRISON. But apparently, that relationship went nowhere. --The source adds, quote, "She's definitely not into Matthew."


Does Angelina Jolie Hate Thanksgiving?

BRAD PITT, ANGELINA JOLIE and the kids reportedly spent Thanksgiving in Seychelles, because Angelina is NOT cool with what Thanksgiving stands for. (--Seychelles is an island nation in the Indian Ocean, about a thousand miles off the eastern coast of Africa, and northeast of Madagascar.) --A so-called "source" says, quote, "Angelina Jolie hates this holiday and wants no part in rewriting history like so many other Americans. --"To celebrate what the white settlers did to the native Indians, the domination of one culture over another, just isn't her style. --"She definitely doesn't want to teach her multi-cultural family how to celebrate a story of murder." --The source adds, quote, "Angelina gets so grossed out by Thanksgiving that she has made sure her family will not be in America this year on Thursday. If Brad wants turkey, he will have to cook it himself."


Kanye West Got Booed At the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade:

No big surprise here: KANYE WEST got BOOED as his float made its way through New York City Thursday during the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade. --To be fair, we don't know if EVERYBODY booed Kanye. All we have is one fan-shot video in which you can clearly hear him getting a negative reaction from what seems like a lot of people. (--Here it is . . .)
(--WARNING!!! There is unedited profanity in this clip . . .)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KQNsnlj6aW0
(--Here's a clip of Kanye's performance as it aired on NBC, in which you can't hear any crowd noise . . .)

Several Celebrities Are Abandoning Twitter for Charity:

Several celebrities are abandoning Twitter on Wednesday in order to raise money for Keep a Child Alive . . . which is an AIDS charity started by ALICIA KEYS. (--Wednesday is World AIDS Day.) --The organization raises money through text messages . . . and the stars who are taking part in this won't sign back on until people put up $1 million. --The celebrities include Lady Gaga, Justin Timberlake, Usher, Jennifer Hudson, Ryan Seacrest, Kim and Khloe Kardashian, Elijah Woods, Serena Williams and Janelle Monae.


President Obama Got Elbowed in the Lip During a Basketball Game and Needed 12 Stitches:

PRESIDENT OBAMA needed 12 stitches in his lip Friday, after he caught an elbow during a basketball game at Fort McNair in Washington, D.C. --The offending elbower was Rey Decerega, who works for the Congressional Hispanic Caucus Institute. --He later issued a statement saying, quote, "I enjoyed playing basketball with him this morning. I'm sure he'll be back out to the court again soon."
(--Here's video of Obama holding his lip after the game . . .)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JPFfWXT_wLM
(--I'm willing to bet that Rey apologized to the president on the court. But notice he didn't do so in his public statement.)


"Tangled" Had the Second Best Thanksgiving Opening of all Time . . . But "Harry Potter" Still Won the Holiday Weekend:

"Tangled" earned $69 million over the long holiday weekend. That's the second-best Thanksgiving opening of all time . . . (--Behind the $80 million opening of "Toy Story 2".) . . . but it wasn't enough to knock Harry Potter from the top of the box office. --"Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows" made another $76 million over the 5-day Thanksgiving weekend, to beat "Tangled" by about $7 million. --Meanwhile, CHRISTINA AGUILERA and CHER'S "Burlesque" came in at #4 with just over $17 million.


Billy Bob Thornton Thinks Movies Today Suck:

BILLY BOB THORNTON isn't a big fan of the product that Hollywood is turning out these days. --He says, quote, "In our current state of affairs, especially in the entertainment business, we're living in a time when we're making . . . in my humble opinion . . . the worst movies in history." --Here's his reasoning . . . quote, "They're geared toward the video game-playing generation. --"And these video games, which I'm on my son about constantly, these games are people killing for fun, and I think traditionally in movies, there's always been some kind of lesson in the violent movies." --Billy Bob is in DWAYNE JOHNSON'S bloody new revenge flick, "Faster" . . . which he signed on for because he thinks it's DIFFERENT from the violent flicks that are coming out today. --He says, quote, "This movie doesn't say, 'Oh, here's this fun guy and we're going to do this tongue-in-cheek character right out of a video game who likes to destroy things' and all this kind of thing. --"This movie actually shows what prisons create, what murder creates. It shows this perpetual, violent string of events."


Leonardo DiCaprio Needed the Plot of "Inception" Explained to Him:

Like a lot of people, LEONARDO DICAPRIO didn't get "Inception". But he had one advantage the rest of us didn't: He could just ask CHRISTOPHER NOLAN . . . the writer and director . . . to explain it to him. --After reading the script for the first time, Leo was pretty confused. He says, quote, "I needed to know implicitly where we were. It got incredibly confusing at certain points in the beginning, but the more we talked, the more I understood."


The 100 Best Movie Spaceships:

Ugo.com has put together a list of the 100 Best Movie Spaceships. The top spot went to the Millennium Falcon from the first "Star Wars" trilogy. --Believe it or not, the Enterprise from "Star Trek" did NOT come in second. It finished third behind the mothership from "Close Encounters of the Third Kind". --Even so, "Star Trek" had five other ships on the list . . . including the Borg cube (#24), a Klingon bird of prey (#39), and three of the ships from the new 2009 film. --Counting the Millennium Falcon, the "Star Wars" films had a total of seven ships on the list . . . including the X-Wing (#18) and the Super Star Destroyer (#4) and the twin-pod cloud cars from "Empire Strikes Back" (#99). --The list also has ships from "Avatar", "District 9", "Skyline", and the upcoming "Green Lantern" movie. Check out the list, starting at #1, here . . .) http://www.ugo.com/movies/100-best-movie-spaceships?page=10


The Black Eyed Peas ARE Headlining the Super Bowl Halftime Show:

It's official: The BLACK EYED PEAS will headline this season's Super Bowl halftime show in Dallas on February 6th. --After the JANET JACKSON / JUSTIN TIMBERLAKE "Wardrobe Malfunction" seven years ago, the halftime acts have all been older, and basically SAFER choices. --The halftime shows since then, beginning with the most recent, have featured: The Who, Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band, Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers, Prince, the Rolling Stones and Paul McCartney. --Meanwhile, the Peas have unleashed the video for "The Time (Dirty Bit)" . . . the single with the chorus that borrows heavily from the "Dirty Dancing" theme song "(I've Had) The Time of My Life".

The 10 Most Controversial Songs of All Time:

A British copyright organization called the Performing Right Society recently conducted a poll to find The 10 Most Controversial Songs of All Time. --In the end, PRODIGY'S 1997 single "Smack My (B-word) Up" came in #1 . . . despite only having two lines of lyrics in the whole track. There's the title line, which was clearly the controversial part, and, quote, "Change my pitch up."

--Here's the Top 10:

1.) "Smack My (B-word) Up", Prodigy (--Really just for the title, which is repeated several times.)

2.) "God Save the Queen", Sex Pistols (--Critical of the British monarchy.)

3.) "Relax", Frankie Goes to Hollywood (--It's about sex, obviously.)

6.) "Ebeneezer Goode", The Shamen (--They're a Scottish electronic group. The song supposedly glamorizes recreational drug use.)

7.) "Suicide Solution", Ozzy Osbourne (--This song is actually about the deadly effects of alcoholism, but when a kid killed himself while listening to it in 1984, the meaning pretty much got lost.)

8.) "Get Your Gunn", Marilyn Manson (--The song was inspired by the murder of an abortion doctor, and also includes audio from the press conference at which Pennsylvania Senator R. Budd Dwyer blew his brains out on live TV, rather than face bribery charges.)

9.) "Angel of Death", Slayer (--It's about Nazi doctor Josef Mengele, who conducted disgusting human experiments at the Auschwitz concentration camp.)

(--Unless Mel Gibson's dad is right and none of that stuff happened.) (???)

10.) "Dear God", XTC (--Questions the benevolence, and even the very existence, of God.)


"Weird Al" Yankovic Was Once Offered $5 Million to Do Beer Commercials, But He Turned It Down . . . for the Children:

"WEIRD AL" YANKOVIC was once offered a fat contract to be a part of an ad campaign for a beer company, but he turned it down because a lot of his fans were young . . . and he didn't think it would be the right thing to do. --He tells "Mojo" magazine, quote, "I don't have a whole lot of regrets. A number of years ago, a beer company offered me $5 million, back when that was a lot of money, to be their commercial spokesperson." --Weird Al said thanks, but no thanks. He explains, quote, "A lot of my fans were young and impressionable, so ethically I believe I did the right thing . . . but not a day goes by when I don't think, 'Hmm, an extra $5 million would really come in handy.'"


Justin Bieber's "Pray" Video Is Online:

Susan Boyle Held Off Rihanna, "Glee", and Kid Rock to Stay at #1:

The beautiful SUSAN BOYLE actually sold MORE albums in her second week than she did in her first. "The Gift" sold another 335,000 copies in its second week to hold onto the top spot. That's up from the 318,000 copies it moved in its first week. --The four-song holiday EP from "America's Got Talent" runner-up JACKIE EVANCHO came in at #2, beating the latest RIHANNA disc by 32,000 copies. Altogether, there were EIGHT Top 10 debuts last week. .

Willie Nelson Was Busted for Possession of Six Ounces of Marijuana Last Friday . . . And Was Released That Same Day:

WILLIE NELSON was arrested in Sierra Blanca, Texas on Friday morning and charged with possession of six ounces of marijuana. (--Sierra Blanca is in the far western part of Texas . . . about 85 miles east of El Paso.) --This went down when Willie's tour bus pulled in for a routine U.S. Border Patrol checkpoint at about 9:00 A.M. The officer opened the door and got a whiff of the giggle weed . . . so he decided to search the bus. --After finding the marijuana, the agent contacted the local sheriff who then arrested Willie and three other people. We don't know the identities of the other three, but they were most likely members of Willie's crew. --The sheriff told the "El Paso Times" that Willie admitted the marijuana was his. He also said that particular checkpoint averages 10 to 15 drug-related arrests a day. Willie posted $2,500 bond and was released on Friday. Willie's people have yet to comment. (--I doubt much will come of this. Especially when you compare it to Willie's tour bus arrest in Louisiana in 2006. That's when the cops confiscated 1.5 POUNDS of marijuana and a small bag of magic mushrooms.) (--Willie and his tour manager David Anderson eventually plead guilty to a misdemeanor charge on that. They were each fined $1,024 and given six months probation.)

NAZZY’S RANDOM STUFF

BLACK FRIDAY

A Marine Collecting "Toys For Tots" Was Stabbed by a Shoplifter:

Ladies and gentlemen, here is your undisputed 'Hero of Black Friday.' He's 24-year-old Marine Corporal Phillip Duggan . . . and on a day when a lot of people show their WORST side, he showed his best. --On Friday, Phillip was volunteering outside a Best Buy in Augusta, Georgia, collecting "Toys For Tots." That's the program that gives toys to underprivileged children. --Around 1:15 P.M., 39-year-old Tracey Attaway of Waynesboro, Georgia went into the Best Buy and shoplifted a laptop by shoving it into his jacket. --Some employees tried to stop him, but he pulled a KNIFE . . . and ran out the door. --Phillip saw him running and took a quick break from charity work to teach Tracey a lesson, MARINE style: He clothes-lined him, knocked him down, and they started wrestling . . . until Tracey managed to STAB Phillip in the back. --By that point, security guards and some other Marines who were volunteering were able to swarm Tracey and disarm him. They held him down until the police arrived. --Tracey was charged with armed robbery, aggravated assault, and possession of a knife in the commission of a crime. Phillip was hospitalized, but thankfully the stab wound wasn't life threatening. (Athens Banner-Herald)
A Man Was Hospitalized After He Was Trampled Trying To Get Into a Black Friday Sale at Target:

If someone asked you to make a list of "what's wrong with America," Exhibit A might be the videos of people stampeding into stores on Black Friday with no regard for human life, trying to save $75 on a TV. --Keith Krantz of Buffalo, New York was a victim of one of those stampedes during this year's Black Friday. And frankly, he's lucky to be alive. --Keith camped out for eight hours in front of a Target in Buffalo. When they finally opened the doors, people flooded in. Keith . . . who is NOT a small man . . . got jammed against a metal door, then shoved to the ground, then trampled. --Fortunately, security guards and Target employees were able to slow down the crowd and pull Keith to safety. After that, people kept on flooding in. --Keith staggered over to a counter in pain, and decided to find his brother, so he made his way over to the TV section. --But when he got there, he COLLAPSED. --The paramedics came and rushed him to the hospital, and he ended up suffering a herniated disc in his back. --Target says they'll be paying all of his medical bills, and that they were expecting some Buffalo police officers at the store when it opened to try to prevent something like this . . . but the police were at a SHOOTING and couldn't make it. (CBS 4 - Buffalo) (--Here's raw video of the incident. Keith gets trampled about 18 seconds in, and staggers to the counter from 1:03 to 1:12. WARNING: There are a few random curse words.)

A Woman Is Arrested For Threatening To Shoot Other Black Friday Shoppers In a Toys "R" Us Line:

No store is immune from PSYCHOS and VIOLENCE on Black Friday. Not even a toy store that caters exclusively to products for kids. --On Thanksgiving night around 10:00 P.M., people were lining up outside a Toys "R" Us in Madison, Wisconsin, so they could be the first ones to get the Black Friday deals. --21-year-old Lanessa Lattimore of Middleton, Wisconsin decided to cut the line. --Naturally, when she tried to cut in front of hundreds of people who'd been lined up in the cold for hours, they stopped her. --And she reacted by threatening to go to her car, get her gun, and start shooting people in the face. --Someone called the cops . . . they came and searched Lanessa and her car . . . and no gun was found. --She was arrested and charged with disorderly conduct, and taken to the station . . . so she DID end up missing out on all the deals. --Lanessa says she never threatened to shoot anyone and that, quote, "I felt like I was being accused of something I didn't do. On top of that I had to give $150 to the police department to get myself out of jail. --"That could've gone toward the dog that I'm planning on buying my daughter or toward the gift I was going to buy her last night." (Wisconsin State Journal)


Researchers Have Figured Out the Most Boring Day In History:

Researchers at Cambridge University in England decided they wanted to figure out THE single most boring day in history. --So they developed a computer program where they dumped in databases of news, facts, births, deaths, business, sports, and major events from 1900 until now . . . and calculated the day where the LEAST stuff happened. --And the most boring day in history is . . . April 11th, 1954. --On that day, there were no major events. No one significant was born, or died. Nothing happened in politics, international news, or sports. Really . . . nothing happened. --We wanted to make sure they were right . . . and according to every website we checked, the most exciting person born that day was either Turkish scientist Abdullah Atalar, or Chris Difford of the band Squeeze. --As for the most newsworthy events . . . someone named Marlene Bauer won the LPGA New Orleans Golf Open and Belgium held a general election. In other words . . . this computer program may have a point. (The Telegraph)

Miss New York Crashed The Macy's Thanksgiving Parade and Fought Her Way Onto the Miss USA Float:

--In this year's Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade, there was a float featuring the current Miss USA, Rima Fakih. Rima was Miss Michigan, and won the Miss USA 2010 pageant back in May. --Well . . . just as the parade was getting under way on Thanksgiving, one of the girls who Rima BEAT showed up. She's Davina Reeves, and she was Miss New York. She didn't make the Miss USA pageant top 15. --But that didn't stop her from wanting to get in on all the parade glory. So Davina fought her way past security . . . climbed onto the float . . . and waved, smiled, and signed autographs for FIVE BLOCKS before parade organizers could get her down. --Rima kept her cool. She talked calmly to Davina . . . while the security guards and Miss USA handlers were FREAKING OUT. Eventually, they talked Davina down without a major incident. --Davina was not arrested for her stunt. DONALD TRUMP, who now runs the entire Miss USA world, didn't have any comment. (New York Post)


A Guy Who Paid For His Girlfriend's Breast Implants Wants To Have Them Repossessed . . . Because She Dumped Him:

I'm not sure where you find a repo man for a job like this . . . but I'm sure a lot of guys would like to give it a shot. --In Germany, a man paid for his girlfriend's breast implants . . . but now that she DUMPED him, he wants to have them REPOSSESSED. --The guy's name hasn't been released, but apparently he paid $5,865 for his 20-year-old girlfriend's breast implants back in 2009. At the time, he told her he'd buy them for her . . . if she promised to stay with him for a year. --He even had her sign a CONTRACT that said she'd have to pay him back for the implants if she broke up with him within a year. (--Sounds like a healthy relationship.) --She left him shortly after the implants were in place . . . and now he wants those implants back. --He's gone to the police with the contract, and he said he's going to have them repossessed if he doesn't get the money soon. The woman has transferred about $4,000 of the $5,865 to him so far. (Vancouver Sun)


Now That Malt Liquor-Energy Drinks Are Banned, The New Panic Is . . . Alcohol-Infused Whipped Cream:

In the past few weeks, you might have heard about FOUR LOKO. That's the energy drink-malt liquor combo that was CORRUPTING OUR CHILDREN . . . so the FDA stepped in and banned it. --But the thing about drinkin' is . . . when one unspeakable evil disappears, another steps right in to take its place. So put on your Freak Out Pants, because there's a new and delicious alcohol product that's trying to kill our kids. --It's called Whipped Lightning, and it's an alcohol-infused WHIPPED CREAM -The stuff checks in at 18% alcohol by volume, or 36 proof . . . which is stronger than wine but weaker than vodka. It's at least three times more potent than a beer. --According to the website, right now it's only available in a handful of states: Arizona, Colorado, Texas, Oklahoma, Louisiana, Tennessee, Missouri, Georgia, South Carolina, Virginia, Maryland, and New Jersey. --It's listed as "Coming Soon" in Ohio and Nevada . . . available by special order in Utah, Wyoming, North Carolina, and Pennsylvania . . . and BANNED in Oregon, Kansas, Mississippi, Michigan, and West Virginia.

Warner Brothers Owns a Trademark For Quidditch Lingerie?

When you think of "Harry Potter" books and movies, the word "sexy" probably shouldn't come to mind . . . unless you've got some strange fetishes. Well, Warner Brothers wants to change that. --They own the rights to the "Harry Potter" movies, and a ton of trademarks on "Harry Potter" related merchandise . . . including QUIDDITCH LINGERIE. --If you're not familiar, Quidditch is the sport that rules the magical world in "Harry Potter". It's played on brooms and it's kind of a mix between soccer, polo, and . . . flying on brooms. --Warner Bros. owns trademarks on dozens and dozens of Quidditch-related merchandise. And yes, one of the things they've named is lingerie. --Of course, there's no guarantee they'll ever MAKE any of the products . . . especially Quidditch lingerie.

A Woman Gets Locked Out of Her House . . . So She Sets It On Fire To Have a Firefighter Come Let Her In:

On Saturday, a woman in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania accidentally got locked out of her house. It happens to everyone. --But no one else ever tries THIS strategy to get back inside. --The woman decided her best play would be to set the house ON FIRE . . . so that the fire department would come and let her in. --Her name hasn't been released. --She set the rear awning of her house on fire, then called 911. --Firefighters showed up . . . and when they got there, she calmly explained her master plan and asked them to let her into the house. --Instead, they called the cops, and the woman was arrested and charged with ARSON.

An Inmate Escapes From Jail By Slipping Between the Bars of His Cell:

In this era of deliciously chubby America, it's hard to believe there are even any Americans left who are physically capable of a stunt like this. --Last week, 23-year-old Kristopher Allen White escaped from the Haywood County Jail in Tennessee by slipping in between the bars of his cell. --Kristopher checks in at 5-foot-11, 160 pounds. He was able to turn sideways and contort his body to get between the bars . . . which only had four-and-a-half inches of space between them. --After he squeezed through the bars, he used blankets to climb over a barbed wire fence. --BUT . . . while his escape strategy was brilliant, his post-escape plans were apparently pretty predictable. The police were able to track him down in about 15 hours . . . still in Tennessee. --Kristopher was in jail after he was busted for stealing from several local CHURCHES. He's now looking at extra charges for his escape. (Jackson Sun)

#1.) Here's What Was Served at the Unhealthiest Thanksgiving in History:

If you thought YOUR Thanksgiving was unhealthy, check this out: You've probably heard of a "Turducken," which is a chicken . . . in a duck . . . in a turkey. But some guy who obviously cares NOTHING about his health did it with FIVE birds. --He put a quail inside a Cornish game hen, inside a chicken, inside a duck, inside a turkey. Then he wrapped it in bacon and put the whole thing inside a PIG. In the end, they calculated that it had over 79,000 calories and 6,900 grams of fat.

#2.) Here's What Male TSA Agents WISH They Could Do:

Some TV show in Japan did a Benny Hill-style skit about a TSA agent who lets everyone through without a problem . . . except for beautiful women. In that case, he gives them a THOROUGH pat down. --He mainly concentrates on two key areas . . . their chest and their crotch . . . and one of the girls eventually ends up in her underwear. (--Search for "funny Japanese TSA airport security." The video is even better if you add "The Benny Hillifier".)

Five Shopping Tips for Cyber Monday:

In case you haven't heard, today is Cyber Monday. It's like Black Friday, but on the Internet. So here are WalletPop.com's top five Cyber Monday shopping tips . . .

#1.) Shop Early. It's the Internet, so it feels like deals won't end. But in reality, it's just like Black Friday: The earlier you shop, the better the deal is. Some sites even started their Cyber Monday sales YESTERDAY.

#2.) Compare Prices. Don't buy anything until you've checked the price on at least two or three other sites. Amazon is a good place to get a price on just about anything. --And you can also try Google's "Shopping" link in the top left corner of their homepage.

#3.) Do Your Research. The great thing about buying stuff on the Internet is you can do research WHILE you shop. And the reviews on most websites can be sorted by "most favorable," "most critical," and "most helpful." --WalletPop.com suggests reading the top three reviews in each category.

#4.) Be Careful With Your Credit Card. If you end up on a weird website and the price is significantly lower than anywhere else, Google the name of the site and make sure it's not bogus. --You should also never use your credit card when you're on public Wi-Fi, because it's a lot easier for someone to steal your credit card number.

#5.) Don't Forget To Look For Coupons. A lot of websites let you use them on top of the Cyber Monday sale prices. RetailMeNot.com and CouponSherpa.com are two good places to check first. (WalletPop.com)
