Verne Troyer, the 2-foot-8 actor best known as Mini Me from the Austin Powers movies, filed a $20 million lawsuit against TMZ.com last week for posting a stolen sex tape featuring him and his ex-girlfriend, Ranae Shrider. But Shrider, who is normal-sized, said she owned the video and had given TMZ.com permission to show it. “It was strange having sex with someone who couldn’t reach to kiss me at the same time, except for my tummy, that is,” Shrider told the London News of the World. “For a small guy he’s quite well-endowed. I had
no complaints.”
