As far as Japanese game shows go, this one is pretty tame – I mean, there’s nothing even remotely pedophiliac about it. But that doesn’t make it any less crazy. This modern day samurai has a baseball fired at him from a pitching machine. He misses the first, but the second is a clean cut in half. Which reminds us, never f**k with a guy with a samurai sword.

Amy Winehouse has spun completely out of control.

Bruised and battered from a scuffle with her “husband” Blake Fielder-Civil, 23-year-old Winehouse looked very much the mess on London streets early Thursday morning. This is certainly one of those cases where even the paparazzi reveals a heart – if only after taking pictures of the bloodied-up couple.

With enough celeb sob-stories to muss over every minute of every day Winehouse’s fall from grace is the most distressing, as her rise to worldwide fame has given way to worldwide infamy in record time.

I sincerely hope that she finds some help from some of her real-life friends – not money-grubbing, tail-following scenesters.
