Germany is holding its first cell phone throwing contest on June 25th in Bielefeld. Over 160 people are expected to enter, with the winner heading to Finland to compete in the world championships in August. The competition is stiff. Last year Ville Piippo set a new world’s record by chucking his phone a whopping 271 feet (82.55 meters). Hey, forget the phones, how about tossing that guy at the next table who’s screaming into his?

James Ross of Godfrey, IL was arrested for impersonating an appliance repairman, something which is probably only illegal in that state. He’s already served time in jail for impersonating a police officer and a paramedic, and was previously arrested for posing as a firefighter and mortician. Police say he doesn’t have a lawyer, but why would he need one? He can always masquerade as an attorney, arguing that he isn’t really a criminal but is just impersonating one. Frank Gorshin, who died last week, would be impressed.

Since Paris Hilton couldn’t marry herself (at least not in any state other than West Virginia), she did the next best thing – she got engaged to someone with the same first name. She and Greek shipping heir Paris Latsis announced the happy news at a barbecue, adding that they hope to one day have children named Paris and Paris. Ah, to be young and narcissistic.
