Man impales head on screwdriver, and more

Man impales head on screwdriver

A Polish man impaled his head on a screwdriver, but only realized it later, when he saw himself in his rearview mirror. “I don’t remember what happened that day,” said the 25-year-old, who doesn’t want to be named. “At some point when I was working in my garden I slipped and fell down.” Only later, after feeling some pain, did the man notice he had a screwdriver in his forehead. Surgeons removed the tool, which went in two inches deep but somehow missed his brain.

LeAnn Rimes has had a relapse in her Twitter addiction, says the National Enquirer. The country star, 30, entered rehab last year, largely to deal with the stress of seeing herself attacked on social media for stealing her now-husband, actor Eddie Cibrian, from his wife. Sources say Rimes left rehab with strict instructions “to not tweet any negative stuff or engage with people who don’t like her. But she’s not sticking to that anymore.” Recent Twitter-spats with Cibrian’s ex-wife have friends concerned that Rimes “can’t help herself” and may soon “end up in rehab again.”

Brazil's popular sex doll

Online bidding has topped $100,000 for the rights to spend a night with a new, hyper-realistic sex doll in Brazil. “Valentina,” her manufacturers say, is covered in a high-tech fabric that closely mimics the feel of human skin, and also features “green eyes, fleshy lips, full breasts, and a body that inspires envy in all women.” The winning bidder will be flown to Brazil, spend a night with Valentina in the Presidential Suite of a São Paulo hotel after a candlelit dinner, and be given a digital camera so the lucky man can show her to his friends.
