WHAT WAS HE THINKING?? HANDCUFFED SUSPECT DIVES HEAD FIRST OUT OF MOVING COP CAR

Suspected burglar Nicholas Duffy decided the risk of death was worth the chance of escaping arrest in this crazy video, which shows him leaping from the window of a moving police car - while handcuffed. Duffy, 20, provided us with one of the more novel escape attempts we've seen when he complained of feeling unwell while being driven along a highway near Salt Lake City, Utah. After having the window opened for him and being provided with a bucket by officers, Duffy makes a brazen attempt at getting away when he undoes his seatbelt and leaps from the window. The car was travelling at 35mph at the time - and on a busy road - and Victor Tuezada of Sandy Police Department said 'completely lucked out' by not killing himself. 'This young man could have been run over by cars behind him, hit his head and been killed instantly,' he said. 'He's a very lucky guy to still be alive.'

TUES VIRAL VIDS - GREATEST CRAZY GOLF SHOT OF ALL-TIME & UTAH JAZZ MASCOT GIVES RIVAL FAN A BIT OF A BEATING...

A round of crazy golf has become a massive YouTube hit, after a water fountain helped one man make 'the greatest shot ever'. In the short clip, a man’s hopes of crazy golf victory look set to be dashed as the golf ball lies in the middle of a fountain. As he goes to putt the ball, the chances of getting the ball out of the fountain, let alone making the shot, seem unlikely. But just when things look hopeless, the man receives an unlikely piece of luck. The ball is sitting directly in the middle of the fountain, and when a blast of water gushes up, it takes the golf ball with it. Quickly putting the now-floating golf ball, the ball bounces around the green before finishing up in the hole. The surprised spectators then join the man in running around screaming like idiots. You may wish to stop watching at this point.
Dave im a golfer and playin a comp one day, playing parterner duffs a shot and it travel 50yrds right and low, sum one opens the door of a portoloo at the exact moment the ball hits it so it ricochades back 2wards the green and ends up 5inches from the hole! Amazing! Sarah, doneraile

A tetchy Cleveland Cavaliers fan was left red-faced after being handed a good, old-fashioned ass-whooping by the mascot of rival team Utah Jazz when he suffered a severe sense-of-humour bypass at a game this week. Now, in any normal circumstances, you probably wouldn't pick on a bear. But when that bear is of the kid-pleasing, T-shirt-throwing, smiling-at-sports-events variety, you maybe think you stand a chance. Unfortunately, this Cavs fan's plan to beat the living daylights out of the mascot backfired when it turned out he was no match for the hulking child hugger. The incident began innocently enough with a bit of light-hearted banter. The Cavs fan had brought a little sign to the NBA game, played at the Jazz's home court, which read "Cavs Rule, Jazz Stink". So, during the interval, the mascot took an even bigger sign up to said fan with "I'm A Loser" emblazoned across the front. Evidently jealous of the size of the mascot's banner, there followed a bit of pushing and shoving and grabbing of signs before the fan took things a step too far and started punching the bear in the head. Not good, especially with kids watching. Security escorted the fan away, but with the mascots taunts ringing loudly in his ear, the red mist descended and the fan broke free of security to take a run at the mascot. The fool didn't seem to judge his ability to front up to a 7ft bear very well though, and ends up flat on his back on the court - much to the pleasure of most of the crowd. We particularly like the security guard high-fiving the mascot afterwards - and the acrobatic celebration of his knockout victory. Although this half-time entertainment wasn't planned - by the looks of it - the Jazz mascot beating down a fan is just the latest interval entertainment from US sports to hit these shores. Last week (and further down the blog) the Boston Blaze lacrosse team got into hot water for staging a cheerleader lapdance show for the team's mascot, Scorch, as a means of entertaining the crowd. Maybe cuddly mascots aren't so family friendly after all...

TUESDAY VIRAL VIDS - DODGY/SAUCY HALF-TIME ENTERTAINMENT & GIRL FALLS IN FOUNTAIN WHILE TEXTING

Even in theory it seems a strange choice for half-time entertainment at a family event - but clearly the Boston Blazers lacrosse team see half-naked lapdancing cheerleaders in a very different light to the rest of us. Blazers bosses have come in for criticism after an amateur video was posted on YouTube showing a risqué half-time performance where Scorch - the team mascot - was treated to three different lapdances from cheerleaders in the middle of the pitch. The crowd, which included a fair few children attending with their parents, were then encouraged to decide which performance was the best after watching the girls gyrating on the mascot's lap for about 20 seconds each. If I'm to be kind, the reaction of fans at the game was mixed - with several boos clearly heard around the stands. A few dads just sat quietly and watched before being encouraged to boo by their wives, which they duly did. My favourite bid of the video is the kid in the red jumper going down a few rows to chat to his friends about it - and get a closer look while he's at it - about two-thirds of the way through.


A girl falling into a fountain while texting in a shopping centre has become a YouTube hit, after the unfortunate incident was captured on CCTV.
It’s easily done. You’re walking along engrossed in your phone, completely oblivious to the world around you, when you walk into something.You dust yourself off, try to hide your embarrassment and get on with your day. But for one avid phone-user, the unfortunate results of a lack of due care and attention when texting were captured on CCTV – and have now been viewed by over 700,000 people on YouTube. In the video, the girl is seen walking along texting, oblivious to the large fountain dead ahead. She then tumbles over the side, falling face down in the water, before retrieving her phone and quickly scrambling away. And if that wasn’t enough for you, the video also includes more than one angle so you can really appreciate the awkward moment.

*BUMP* RICKY GERVAIS GOLDEN GLOBES 'GASP-INDUCING' OPENING MONOLOGUE NOW WITH ADDED TIGHT GOLDEN LAME BOXER SHOT...

Ricky Gervais joked last week that he would make sure he was never invited back to host the Golden Globes again and it looks like might have succeeded after a barrage of controversial quips at the expense of his star-studded crowd last night.
The Office funnyman, who was hosting the show for the second year running, was accused of occasionally over-stepping the mark by guests and US media. He kicked off proceedings by taking a sip from a beer glass and quipped: 'It's going to be a night of partying and heavy drinking. Or, as Charlie Sheen calls it, breakfast' The comedian also introduced Bruce Willis as 'Ashton Kutcher's dad' and mocked nominated film The Tourist. Taking about the growth of 3D films, he said: 'Seems like everything this year was three-dimensional. Except the characters in The Tourist. 'I'd like to quash the rumours that the only reason The Tourist was nominated was so that the Hollywood Foreign Press can hang out with Johnny Depp and Angelina Jolie. That is rubbish, that is not the only reason. They also accepted bribes.' Gervais also made a joke about an unnamed Scientologist's sexuality, drawing gasps from the audience. 'Also not nominated, I Love You Phillip Morris. Jim Carrey and Ewan McGregor. Two heterosexual actors pretending to be gay, so the complete opposite of some famous Scientologists then.' 'Probably. My lawyers helped me with the wording of that joke,' he added. He described Robert Downey Jr as better known for 'his stays at the Betty Ford clinic and the LA County jail' than for his movie roles. The Iron Man actor hit back after the show saying: 'Aside from the fact that it's been hugely mean-spirited with mildly sinister overtones, I'd say the vibe of the show is pretty good, wouldn't you? 'I think it's great to be funny. But it's better if you can do it without hurting people.'Gervais' jokes were considered so incendiary that when he went missing during the second half of the show, fans suggested on Twitter that he'd been fired backstage. Film producer Harvey Weinstein joked at the Weinstein after-party that Gervais wouldn't make it out of Beverly Hills alive. 'Ricky Gervais will not make it out of town tonight. There are seven people that we've hired to kill him and deservedly so. 'Knowing that Ricky Gervais will never work again means a lot to me, I'm going to make sure of it,' he joked. The King's Speech director Tom Hooper was also left gob-smacked. 'Do you know how edgy he was?' he said. 'LA is a careful town - my God he was unbelievable. 'I thought he was hilarious but will he ever present another award show again? I don't know but if he went out, he went out burning.' Meanwhile, Paris Hilton said people shouldn't overreact to his jokes. 'That's how it is at an awards show, they want to get some laughs.' Phillip Berk, president of the Hollywood Foreign Press Association, was asked after the show if he would consider booking Gervais again. 'No comment,' he replied.

RICKY GERVAIS SCATTER-GUNS ALL THE TOP HOLLYWOOD EGOS - GO RICKY!

The 68th annual Golden Globes veered into Cluedo territory last night as the event's host went missing for nearly an hour. Ricky Gervais's absence from the stage, following an opening monologue that drew more gasps than laughs, led excited observers to speculate that the British comic may have been collared backstage and fired … or worse. Gervais opened the live telecast by poking exuberant fun at the likes of Tim Allen, Charlie Sheen, Mel Gibson and Robert Downey Jr. He claimed to have had to help Philip Berk, president of the Hollywood Foreign Press Association, off the toilet and "put his teeth back in". He introduced Bruce Willis as "Ashton Kutcher's dad" and explained that Johnny Depp's critically panned caper movie The Tourist had only been nominated because the voters of the Hollywood Foreign Press Association "accepted bribes". Neither Willis nor Depp appeared especially amused. Then Gervais went missing, sparking lurid speculation on blogs and Twitter. Where had Gervais gone? Had the host been killed or merely given his marching orders? "Others have joked but I think it's getting to the point where it may be true," wrote Hollywood publicist Lewis Kay. "Did [the Hollywood Foreign Press Association] fire Gervais midway through the show?" Others, however, attempted to reassure the conspiracy theorists. "Hosts always get trimmed in the second half of awards shows," wrote HitFix's Daniel Fienberg. "Ricky Gervais hasn't been killed. Or has he?" Even when Gervais eventually returned, observers noted that he seemed subdued, leading to suggestions that he had been asked to tone down his routine. According to CNN host Piers Morgan, Gervais looked "haunted". He vowed to ask the comedian: "What the hell did they do to you backstage?" Following the ceremony, Tim Allen, Tom Hanks and Robert Downey Jr all appeared to be at least mildly uncomfortable with Gervais's performance. "It's one thing if it's just the people in the room, but on a broadcast it makes you feel bad for some of the people," said Richard D Zanuck, producer of the Globe-nominated Alice in Wonderland. "I know it's what some people want, but I still feel bad." Elsewhere, the reaction to Gervais's second stint as Globes host has been evenly split. "Mr Gervais's jibes at the Hollywood Foreign Press Association divided the room," claimed the New York Times. "It was Mr Gervais's second chance to host the Golden Globes; he may not get a third."

Amazing footage of East Creek near Chalk Drive / Chalk Lane rising and washing away lots of cars during Flash Flood in Toowoomba on Monday 10 January 2011. This is some of the best footage I have seen of the Flood and was taken from the second floor of our office which backs onto Chalk Lane. It shows just how fast the creek turned into a torrent and quickly flooded Chalk Drive and Chalk Lane. I also got some video of where the creek crosses Neil Street and some video of the aftermath and the huge amount of cars damaged and piled on top of one another in the Chalk Drive car park.
