OMG, a real life fairy tale! |

It was a real-life version of Goldilocks and the Three Bears — only in reverse — when a woman came home to find a young bear eating oatmeal in her kitchen.
The bear apparently entered through an open sliding glass door, broke a ceramic food container and started eating, West Vancouver police Sgt. Paul Skelton said.
"It sounds like a nursery rhyme, doesn’t it?" Skelton said. "At least we have a health-conscious bear on our hands."
Three police officers who went to the home Thursday couldn’t get the bear to budge, so authorities let the animal finish its meal.
"The bear didn’t appear to be aggressive and wasn’t destroying the house, so they just let it do what it was doing and eventually the bear decided to make its way out of the residence and down toward a forested gully," Skelton said. "It ended the best it could."
Skelton said bears in the suburbs north of Vancouver have been coming out of hibernation as hungry as ever but later than usual but this spring because of a heavier than normal snowpack from the winter. The report Thursday was one of six complaints police said they received about bears in the area that day.

And another Stones date bites the dust. |

The Rolling Stones have cancelled another date on their summer tour, in the German business capital Frankfurt, because of guitarist Keith Richards’s fall from a palm tree.
The veteran British rockers had already called off July shows in the German cities of Nuremberg and Leipzig due to scheduling conflicts when they delayed the European leg of their "A Bigger Bang" tour to allow Richards to recuperate.
They tried to find a new date for the Frankfurt concert, scheduled for July 14, to no avail.
"There was a problem finding free dates at the Frankfurt stadium that worked for the tour," German tour promoter Peter Rieger said in a statement Monday.
Richards, 62, was hospitalized in New Zealand last month with a brain haemhorrage and had to undergo an operation to drain blood from his brain following his plunge from a palm tree on the South Pacific Ocean island of Fiji.
The rescheduled concerts, announced on the band’s website, kick off in Milan on July 11 and will include a gig in Berlin on July 21, two in London on August 20 and 22 and will end in Horsens, Denmark, on September 3.
The shows that remain postponed are in Barcelona, Brussels, Gothenburg, St Petersburg, Brno, Warsaw, Athens and Zagreb.

Seriously, this is who PETA should go after… |

BEIJING (Reuters) – Banner-wielding animal rights protesters swarmed into a restaurant serving cat meat in the southern Chinese city of Shenzhen and forced it to shut, Xinhua news agency said Sunday.
The 40 or so, mainly female demonstrators — holding banners reading "cats and dogs are friends of human beings" — entered the Fangji Cat Meatball restaurant and demanded the owner free any live cats on the premises, Xinhua said.
There were none in the building, as the owner had already moved them out, it said. But some burst into tears upon finding a skinned cat in a fridge.
"I cannot go on with my business, and I will not sell cat meat any more," the restaurant owner was quoted as saying, though he defended his trade by saying eating cat in Guangdong province was a tradition.
The organizer of the protest, identified only as Isobel, the founder of a cat protection Web site, said the restaurant had been chosen because it killed cats in the street and it was "very bad for the students from nearby schools."
A local beauty queen, Miss Shenzhen 2005, also took part, calling on people to "stop eating cats and dogs and become civilized," Xinhua said.
Many Chinese, particularly in the south, believe eating dogs and cats are good warming foods to eat during the winter.
But China is developing a nascent animal rights movement as more people raise pets, which during the country’s Communist heyday was frowned upon as a bourgeois activity.

Lindsay Lohan and Nicole Richie should take a lesson from Lara Flynn Boyle. After years of sporting a skeletal physique, she’s expanded her diet to include things besides oxygen, added a few much-needed pounds and looks amazing. Keep it up, Lara!
