Meet Wild Bill, a staple at Utah State games who happens to be a big a Disney fan. Here he dresses up like Mrs. Potts from Beauty and the Beast and gets the crowd to distract the opposing team by singing "I'm a Little Teapot" from the stands.
Crazy old theater queen Glenn Beck was on his little radio program this morning talking about the creatively challenged but financially blessed Broadway Spider-Man musical and apparently he LOVED it. Like "this is history of Broadway being made" loved it.
Usher brings a fan onstage to serenade her. Sexily, he takes her into his arms. Reclining, she grinds against him, then lifts her leg and flicks her foot over his head, stripper-style—only to kick him in the face.
Here's a fan-recorded video from the Last Chance Heat 2 at Ipswich World Final 2010 race, featuring several cars crashing into each other. The crashes don't make the video entertaining, though—the guy's insanely excited voiceover does (NSFW language).
Here's a mother out to embarrass her son: watch this kid cry his eyes out while watching his beloved San Diego Chargers lose 35-27 to the perennial lowly Oakland Raiders. Hey, everyone loses sometimes...but not to Oakland!
Last night's Brett Michaels-hosted Miss Universe Pageant was pressure packed, as any red blooded American male can tell you. Don't believe me? Watch along with what appears to be The Miss Philippines Fan Club and take in the madness.
While tooling around on his Segway, Canadian teen underpants dampener Justin Bieber was spotted by a fan. Then another, and another, until a swarm of shrieking girls was upon him. He got away the only way he could: by Segway.

A fan broke into the English soccer team's locker room, presumably to boo them face-to-face.
[Good thing the World Cup is a soccer competition, and not a "dress like a goddamn maniac" competition, because otherwise, the Japanese would already have won and we'd all have to go home. Pic via Getty]
Think you're a dedicated American Idol fan? Not as much as this woman. As the camera rolls, she appears to have a mental breakdown while watching yesterday's American Idol finale.
Four times, Texas pastor Jesse Martin has traveled to grand openings of Chik-fil-A restaurants—even camping overnight—to win a free year's supply of Chik-fil-A food. His passion for chicken burns so bright it seems to discomfit even Chik-fil-A itself.
And you thought the Olympics were over. America's two best female skiers sparred on Twitter after Vonn's crash messed up Mancuso's giant slalom. Now, check out Julia's Facebook page. Her fans totally hate that chick. And her big, gold-medal-winning butt.
Lost fans are rabid, but there are just as many people who haven't seen it at all. So Newsweek decided to have their employees who have never watched it before try to explain what's going on. And it's hilarious.
Every day at this leftist gay gossip site, Gawker, I write a "Recessionomics" column, which is like John Maynard Keynes after a massive head injury, but before he learned anything about economics. Finally, Rush Limbaugh has endorsed its econometrical findings.
Because we strive for balance in strident denunciations, here is an email from some Tucker Max fan:
Just in case there was any doubt: Yes, the Steelers and Cardinals fans who made it out to Tampa are, in fact, insane.
A group of yarn enthusiasts-who are also dedicated fans of best-selling Discworld author Terry Pratchett-wanted to present their favorite writer with something cool at the Edinburgh International Book Festival yesterday, so they got together and knitted a quilt, or afgan... er, Pratchgan! The group calls itself the Anhk Morpork Knitter's Guild, after the leading city in the funny-as-hell series, and the Pratchgan features images and phrases sure to delight anyone who loves orangutan librarians, black-clad assassins, talking dogs, the Grim Reaper, or vampires who've sworn off the B-word. The knitters say they were inspired to create the Pratchgan when Pratchett was diagnosed with rare early-onset Alzheimer's disease late last year. More photos and links after the jump.
An insider over at Complex Magazine informs us that the people in charge over there, have deemed it necessary to send a company-wide e-mail requesting that emplyees stop accosting 50 Cent whenever he enters the building. We particularly like this line, "This office should be a second home for 50, not a place where he feels compelled to put on a show each time he walks through our doors." We can understand why the staff reacts so much, because while we prefer to stalk from afar, when we're in close with celebs, we demand only Grade A top-shelf shucking-and-jiving. No matter if we're in his house or ours.
