Look Out

Beatdown

A local Fox affiliate did an expose about a real estate scam. The guy fingered in the scam was angry and left threatening message on the reporter's phone. Then they came back for a follow-up story and all hell broke loose. Never turn your back to someone who is attacking you.

Paris Hilton DUI

Paris Hilton was arrested for DUI. Her blood alcohol content was 0.08, the lowest reading you can get and still be charged with DUI. Her publicist said she had been up for almost 24 hours straight shooting a video. She hadn't had anything to eat (shocker) and had one drink. She is 5' 3" and weighs 115 el bees.

TMZ.com has video of her arriving at home afterwards. She doesn't look wasted but it was probably several hours later.

Efforting mugshot.

Karma

You might remember that earlier this season Cubs catcher Michael Barrett sucker punched White Sox catcher AJ Pierzynski in the face.

Michael Barrett was placed on the 15-day disabled list Sunday with an intrascrotal hematoma.
Barrett was injured in the fifth inning on Saturday when he was hit in the groin by a ball. Barrett stayed in the game, and even hit in the Cubs' fifth, but had to leave because of the pain.
"That's a tough one there -- that one might be the toughest one," Cubs manager Dusty Baker said. "He said, 'Bake, I'm feeling sick, I'm hurting badly.' He tried to tough it out."
Barrett was taken to Northwestern Memorial Hospital Saturday, and an ultrasound revealed the injury. He then underwent surgery to stop internal bleeding IN HIS SCROTUM, Cubs athletic trainer Mark O'Neal said.

Rest in Peace

Nice Hit Coach

Youth football game. Kickoff return. After the whistle some kid plows into another kid and knocks him down. That kid's father (also the assistant coach) runs on the field and plows into the offending player. Brawl ensues. Watch the coach's hit, from the link in this article.

Actually, It's Not a BB Gun

San Diego Chargers' Steve Foley (not Uncle Steve) was shot Sunday by an off-duty policeman.
The officer (Dennis Brugos) was driving an unmarked car and was about 20 miles outside his jurisdiction, told investigators he started following Foley's car after he saw it about 10 miles north of San Diego on Interstate 15 northbound "weaving in lanes, traveling at speeds of between 30 and 90 mph and nearly colliding with several other vehicles on the highway."
After Foley left the expressway, the officer pulled next to the ballplayer at a red light and identified himself as a police officer.
When the officer ordered Foley to pull his car over, the linebacker initially drove off before stopping "after a short distance," getting out of his car and walking toward the officer.
At that, the police officer pulled out his handgun and verbally identified himself, warning Foley to stop walking toward him.
"That's a BB gun," Brugos said Foley told him.
Foley then stopped his advance, returned to his car and pulled away, driving at least two more miles before stopping on Travertine Court, the upper-class street where he lives.
The officer said Foley again got out of his car and walked toward him, while his passenger -- Lisa Maree Gaut -- drove alongside him in the car.
"As the suspect approached, the officer again identified himself as a police officer and that his gun was real," the police statement said.
To prove it, the officer said he fired one warning shot into bushes and two shots toward the sky.
"The male suspect reached into his pants with his right hand as he approached the officer," the police statement said. "The officer then fired at the suspect. The suspect acknowledged that he had been shot, but continued toward the officer, who then fired again at him. This time the suspect fell to the ground."
Foley was taken to Sharp Memorial Hospital, where his wounds were not considered life-threatening.

Crikey!

The Crocodile Hunter Steve Irwin was killed in an accident on Monday off Australia's northeast coast.
Hospital and police authorities said he was stung by a stingray while filming an underwater documentary.
A stingray barb pierced his chest.
