From the CBC:

One of the most notorious drunk drivers in the Ottawa area has been found not criminally responsible on his latest impaired driving charges because of a mental disorder that makes him believe female celebrities are controlling his actions.

Matt Brownlee was arrested last October after police spotted a pickup truck speeding along a busy street in downtown Ottawa.

The 33-year-old man told psychiatrists that he knew the legal repercussions of his actions, but believed singer Shania Twain was helping him drive.

24 is just like a soap opera. Except that all the romantic subplot arcs are elaborated in shadowy torture chambers.

"Who that DJ be? They said, 'Ronson'."

Celeb DJ and sometimes Hilfiger model Marc Ronson imagines what Radiohead would sound like as a party-funk band. It's really not as bad as you're imagining.
