Attempting to become the youngest person to sail solo around the world, Jessica Watson got off to a bit of a rough start when her yacht hit a 63,000-ton cargo ship on a preliminary 10-day solo journey from her home port to Sydney, where the voyage around the globe was set to kick off.

No word on whether she was texting her friends at the time of the crash.

Amazingly, her parents and supporters plan to let the trip continue, once the boat is repaired.

Amazingly, 29-year old James Joseph Cialella Jr. then proceeded to sit back down (as the rest of the theater emptied out), and continued watching The Curious Case of Benjamin Button until police arrived and arrested him.

Certainly not the approach that I would have taken, but given that he only shot him in the arm, if it convinces people in theaters to think “Hmmm, if I’m talking too loudly or on my cell, one of these guys might be crazy enough to shoot me” and shuts them up, it may not be an all bad thing…

As it turns out, it’s a bit more complicated than that–the shoe, which came off during a pole dance, flew off into the mirrored ceiling–causing the mirror to shatter, and rain glass down around the man (along with the shoe).

He is suing the club (called the Booby Trap) for breaching its duty when its employee failed to perform her routine in a reasonably safe manner.  He claims he suffered a small cut to his eyebrow, headaches and nose bleeds due to the incident.

Personally, I think he needs to man up.  If strippers have to reign in their acts because a guy gets hurt once in a while, what fun are the clubs going to be?  I mean, aside from the naked chicks and booze?

Even more impressive, he wasn’t even unconscious.  After crashing into a highway sign, he had trouble getting out of the car, and then grabbed it and refused to move.  Despite being significantly closer to the level classified as “fatal” than the level classified as “comatose.”

Obviously we don’t condone drinking to the level of a 0.491 BAC–hell, we don’t even encourage drinking to a 0.2 (any more).  And we never condone driving after you’ve been drinking.  But it still is pretty damn amazing.

This one isn’t even Entertainment related (unless you like train wrecks), but the link headline was what caught us–something along the lines of “Clinton Wins PA Primary; Now Needs More Cash.”  Ummm, can’t she just use some of that $109 million she and Bill have made in recent years, according to their tax returns?  Oh, they’re saving that for a rainy day, and would rather use hard earned tax payer donations (along with corporate bribes)?  Got it.

Speaking of train wrecks, Star Jones is filing for divorce.  I’m surprised it took this long, I’m amazed that it was her that filed (although I guess maybe Al Reynolds likes the lifestyle), and I wonder who’s sponsoring the divorce.

And of course, Miley Cyrus is writing her memoirs.  I wonder if it will be a coloring book, or just one of those books where you get the page wet and the colors come out, and parents call it painting?  Seriously, she’s 15 years old–how many memories can she have?

On the flip side, I also came across this article on Robot Vigilante - a bar owner in Atlanta has built a robot, dubbed the ‘Bum Bot,’ to help scare away the baddies in his neighborhood.  Crime around his bar appears to have gone down, but of course, he’s got the tree huggers up in arms:

 ”This is going to intimidate a lot of people,” says Rosetta Watkins, who used to live in a nearby shelter and has worked for Terrill. “You’re going to intimidate a lot more people than you’re going to help.”

And the politicians…

“”It’s a play for public attention for Rufus. He’s certainly got a lot of attention — but not the kind we need for housing, living wages,” says Anita Beaty, director of Metro Atlanta Task Force for the Homeless. “This robot isn’t casting attention to the deep, deep poverty in Atlanta.”

 ”I’m appalled by the whole idea. It’s a sham and a shame,” says Beaty. “Rufus is using this for his 15 minutes.”

Even the cops had to come out and say something, with their spokesperson saying they haven’t had any complaints yet, but he risks charges if he intentionally sprays water on someone.

That’s right–take a dump in the alley, smoke some crack by the daycare, rob the bar, no problem.  But shoot water at someone who’s lurking around after dark, likely with the intent to do something not so good, and you’ll face charges in Atlanta.
