      LIFESTYLES OF THE

      STRANGE AND FAMOUS

      We begin with our cheesy Celebrity Gossip section.

      BEAM HIM UP

      Stardate—the 1970s. William Shatner, star of TV’s Star Trek, claimed that he was assisted by aliens. You’d almost think he was joking, writes the Portland Oregonian, but, no, Shatner was serious when he reported that a silver spacecraft flew over him in the Mojave Desert as he pushed his inoperative motorcycle. He also claims to have received a telepathic message from the beings in the craft advising him which direction to walk.

      MAYBE THAT’S WHY HIS PAINTINGS ARE SO WEIRD

      Pablo Picasso, the influential Spanish cubist, wasn’t breathing when he was born in 1881. His face was so blue that the midwife left him for dead. An uncle revived him by blowing cigar smoke up his nose.

      TO BE OR NOT TO BE, MO-FO!

      I’ve always thought that I might have been Shakespeare in another life, Quentin Tarantino once told GQ magazine. "I don’t really believe that 100 percent, and I don’t really care about Shakespeare, but people are constantly bringing up all of these qualities in my work that mirror Shakespearean tragedies. I remember in the case of Reservoir Dogs, writing this scene where the undercover cop is teaching Tim Roth how to be an undercover cop. When Harvey Keitel read it, he thought I had just taken Hamlet’s speech to the players and broke it down into modern words. Here’s the spooky part: I’d never read Hamlet!"

      AND SPEAKING OF WANNABE BRITS

      • Could you imagine Elvis Presley speaking in a high-pitched English accent, declaring, I fart in your general direction? His ex-girlfriend, Linda Thompson, divulged that the King of Rock ’n’ Roll was a huge fan of the British comedy troupe Monty Python. He’d be doing all the voices, she said, which is mind-boggling. He’d even do the ladies’ voices.

      • In 2010, workers at the Mondrian Hotel in Los Angeles reported that one of the strangest guests they’d ever had was Britney Spears. While living in the penthouse (during what the tabloids dubbed her crazy years), she watched the DVD box set of Fox’s Family Guy. For days, Spears would speak only in the voice of Stewie, the sarcastic, football-headed, English-accented baby. It’s a bit weird, said a hotel worker, especially when she’s in the gym speaking like a Brit.

      THE LI’L PRINCE

      Not since the days when Chinese emperors were carried on the shoulders of their servants was such a sight seen at the Great Wall of China: In 2013, Canada’s Crown Prince of Pop Justin Bieber was visiting the Great Wall when the paparazzi photographed him sitting on the shoulders of two of his bodyguards as they carried the 19-year-old Baby singer from viewpoint to viewpoint.

      HAAW MINNY RUADS MUSS AMANN WAWK DEWN?

      Two homeowners in Long Branch, New Jersey, called police during an August 2009 rainstorm after spotting a ratty-haired, disheveled man peeking in through the windows of a home for sale across the street. Cops questioned the drifter, who turned out to be legendary folk singer Bob Dylan. He said he was just looking around.

      A Swiss doctor claims to have invented a camera that can identify aliens posing as humans.

      STRANGE PRISONER

      LAWSUITS

      We noticed that a lot of the most bizarre legal battles we’ve reported on over the years have come from behind bars.

      THE PLAINTIFF: Frederick Newhall Woods IV, serving a life sentence for the infamous Chowchilla, California, school bus kidnapping

      THE DEFENDANT: The American Broadcasting Company

      THE LAWSUIT: In 1976, Woods and two accomplices kidnapped a bus driver and 26 elementary school students and buried them underground. When ABC aired a TV movie docudrama about the kidnapping in 1994, Woods was offended. He sued the network, claiming that the TV show portrayed me as being callous, vicious, hardened, wild-eyed, diabolical, and uncaring.

      THE VERDICT: Case dismissed.

      THE PLAINTIFF: Kenneth Parker

      THE DEFENDANT: Nevada State Prison

      THE LAWSUIT: Parker was an inmate, serving 15 years for robbery. He wanted to buy two jars of chunky peanut butter from the prison canteen. (Cost: $5.) But the canteen had only one jar of chunky peanut butter. When they had to substitute a jar of creamy for the second one, Parker sued for mental and emotional pain, asking for $5,500 and the imprisonment of a prison official.

      THE VERDICT: The case went on for two years before it was ultimately dismissed.

      THE PLAINTIFF: Richard Loritz

      THE DEFENDANT: San Diego County

      THE LAWSUIT: Loritz was imprisoned for three months in 1995. During that time, he says, he asked for dental floss and was refused. As a result, he developed four cavities. He sued for $2,000 in dental expenses.

      THE VERDICT: The case was thrown out of court.

      THE PLAINTIFF: Scott Gomez Jr.

      THE DEFENDANT: Pueblo County Jail, Colorado

      THE LAWSUIT: In 2007, Gomez tried to escape—he melted the ceiling tiles of his cell with a homemade candle, climbed out to the roof, and attempted to scale down the outside wall. Instead, he fell 40 feet to the pavement and was severely injured. Gomez sued, arguing that the prison was responsible because they failed to provide ceiling tiles that could not be removed by melting them with a homemade candle and ignored his propensity to escape (he’d tried to escape twice before).

      THE VERDICT: Lawyers for the prison pointed out a Colorado state law that prevented citizens from suing for damages sustained while committing a felony…such as escaping from prison. Case dismissed.

      THE PLAINTIFF: Chad Gabriel DeKoven

      THE DEFENDANT: Michigan Prison System

      THE LAWSUIT: DeKoven, a convicted armed robber who goes by the name Messiah-God, sued the prison system, demanding damages that included thousands of trees, tons of precious metals, peace in the Middle East, and return of all U.S. military personnel to the United States within 90 days.

      THE VERDICT: Case dismissed. While noting that all claims must be taken
