Germany – Day care doesn’t come cheap for Justin Bieber, who reportedly owes a German animal shelter thousands for watching his monkey, OG Mally.
Last month, Bieber was forced to leave his pet capuchin monkey, OG Mally, at the Munich airport because he didn’t have the correct documentation to allow the pet in the country.
Bieber was given 30 days to come up with the papers, and he ultimately decided to give up the monkey.
However, it seems he didn’t tell that to the Munich animal shelter where Mally has been held since being taken away from Bieber.
The shelter is now billing Bieber for the cost of care for his monkey. Between general care, food and vet visits for OG Mally, Bieber’s bill is several thousand dollars, according to the Munich customs office.
Furthermore, the shelter is still waiting for a response regarding next actions for Mally. Full Article

New York – In the cold of February, as New York City police officers gathered for their daily orders at roll call, they were given a rather unusual command, for both its timing and its substance: If they happened upon a topless woman, they were not to arrest her.
The command was read at 10 consecutive roll calls. Each of the city’s 34,000 officers, in theory, got the message: For simply exposing their breasts in public, women are guilty of no crime.
Whether any officer encountered such a brave-hearted, bare-chested soul is not clear, nor is the reason for the Police Department’s concern about such matters in the dead of winter.
One possible explanation lies in the person of Holly Van Voast (picture), a Bronx photographer and performance artist known for baring her breasts. Full Article

CARACAS, Venezuela – First milk, butter, coffee and cornmeal ran short.
Now Venezuela is running out of the most basic of necessities – toilet paper.
Blaming political opponents for the shortfall, as it does for other shortages, the embattled socialist government says it will import 50 million rolls to boost supplies.
That was little comfort to consumers struggling to find toilet paper on Wednesday.
Economists say Venezuela’s shortages stem from price controls meant to make basic goods available to the poorest parts of society and the government’s controls on foreign currency. Full Article

According to the report, families book tours through an outfit called Dream Tours in Florida, which on its website claims to provide “quality based, memorable, and affordable vacations, to people with special needs.”

Washington – A Seattle man ascended to a new level of creepiness recently when he flew a drone just a few feet away from a family’s home and defended his right to do so because he was flying it in the air, and thus not trespassing.
He also claimed it was for research. The camera-equipped device emitted a loud noise, similar to that of a weed-whacker, which caught the attention of a woman inside.
She told Capitol Hill Seattle Blog that she saw the man on the sidewalk controlling the device near a third-story window in the eastern neighborhood.
Her husband approached the man, who was standing on the sidewalk, and told him to desist from being creepy.
The man told him that he was doing research and the camera was transmitting the images to his glasses. Full Article
