Pinup model sues over breast surgery
An aspiring British pinup model who received a $7,400 taxpayer-funded breast enlargement is suing the country’s National Health Service, claiming her new boobs are too big. Josie Cunningham, 23, underwent surgery earlier this year after convincing a doctor that her flat chest was causing her emotional distress. But Cunningham now says the 36DD implants have turned her into a joke. “They’re so big I find them embarrassing, and I don’t feel I can do any modeling,” she said. Cunningham is demanding $15,000 in compensation for emotional distress.

George Clooney dumped his girlfriend Stacy Keibler because he was sick of her obsession with working out, said the National Enquirer. Throughout their two-year relationship, ex-wrestler Keibler, 33, would start each day with an exhausting two-hour workout. “It got to the point where George didn’t want to spend the night with her because she would wake him up at 5:30 in the morning,” said a source. Clooney, 52, is now hunting for a girlfriend who better suits his lifestyle. “He wouldn’t balk at dating a divorcée who’s ready to have some fun,” said the source.
Getting even with skunk spray
A Kentucky man was arrested after he allegedly used a skunk to stink out a gas station. Kevin Kibert, 35, allegedly brought a plastic bag into the service station’s restroom, and said “Sorry, man” as he left. A worker then found a skunk spraying the men’s room, causing a stink so bad it scared off customers. Kibert denied bringing the skunk, despite admitting to cops he had a grudge against one of the station’s employees. “That wasn’t how I get even,” he said. “It wouldn’t be no skunk, Lord no.”
