A one euro coin has turned up in Spain bearing the face of cartoon couch potato Homer Simpson instead of that of the country's king, a sweetshop owner told Reuters on Friday.
Jose Martinez was counting the cash in his till in the city of Aviles, northern Spain, when he came across the coin where Homer's bald head, big eyes and big nose had replaced the serious features of King Juan Carlos.
The comical carver had not taken his tools to the other side of the coin displaying the map of Europe. So far, no other coins of the hapless, beer-swilling oaf have been found in circulation.
Drugs and alcohol: making people do stuff they probably shouldn't since forever.
A German paper – yes, ze stoic Germanz are celebrity-obsessed, too! – is reporting that quirky junkie Pete Doherty openly consumed drugs and alcohol at a recent performance in Spain before ending his set with a good old-fashioned Nazi salute (pictured). Heyo!
Doherty's mother is half Jewish, so we assume he's being ironic, but who knows? Our brother once did so much acid he thought he was a spider going down the drain, causing him to violently yank down the shower curtain and weep and weep. Perhaps Petey really thought he was Goebbels with a guitar.
By the by, the paper titled this photo "Pete Doherty Hitlergruss." (Translation appreciated.)
Mariah Carey's new album just reached the No. 1 spot in the US, so naturally her diva behavior has been growing stronger by the day. Her latest victim was a reporter for Spain's Shangay Express, who visited New York and was forced to wait hours one night until Mariah finally called at 2:30 a.m. and canceled the interview — but good news! The reporter got to sit and listen to Mariah's new album on repeat. If that's not enough to drive you to insanity, we don't know what is.
The reporter's troubles continued the next day backstage at Mimi's TRL appearance, where Mariah's assistant insisted the interviewer be sprayed with the diva's perfume before proceeding. And then came the actual interview, which took place in the back of a car on the way to Carey's next appearance. Luckily, the reporter caught the flight back to Spain, but only with minutes to spare.
But why blame Mariah for that? Divas needn't worry themselves with concepts such as "time" and "consideration for others."

Today, we've justly given the Spaniards Kate Walsh and Private Practice (Sin cita previa). After tricking them into a war, which subsequently led to their capital being ripped apart by bombs, it was the least we could do.
