Behold The Horny Ghost Of Osama Bin Laden:

Not only is that the cover of a book that actually exists and is on sale, but it pretty much sums up the premise, too.

“When an American diver goes in the search of the body of Osama bin Laden, he’s surprised to find not only the body, but also Bin Laden’s terrifying and horny ghost. Raped by the ghost and forced to sail to America, the duo arrive in Miami where Bin Laden is overwhelmed by the sexy American women. Discovering that his power increases by having sex with young women, Bin Laden sets out to get as many women as possible in effort to become the ultimate weapon of mass destruction.”

Horny Ghost Of Osama Bin Laden: Rise Of The Ghost is P R Resurrector’s first published novel. It has a trailer and everything.

As expected, it’s already getting some great reviews on Amazon.

Chopper Read Dead:

“Mark ‘Chopper’ Read is an Australian folk hero – a Ned Kelly for the modern era. Quick-witted and unapologetic, he is the world’s most popular psychopath; a living legend who graduated from the school of hard knocks and turned into a media star.”

Thus reads the press release which announced Chopper Read’s final public appearance, at Melbourne’s Anatheneaum Theatre on September 23. It’s a strange country that can turn an unrepentant murderous thug into a beloved celebrity.

Mark “Chopper” Read has admitted to 19 murders during his life as a gangland standover man, but he was never convicted for any of them. He spend half his life in prison for other crimes, before becoming a best-selling author, an actor and a touring comedian.

“If there’s a heaven and I go it, I honestly believe that someone there owes me an apology,” he said in Chopper Read Sings The Blues, which aired on SBS2 in August. It was one of the last ever TV interviews with the man, who passed away from liver cancer yesterday.

Miley Cyrus, The Roots And Jimmy Fallon Covered ‘We Can’t Stop’:

Say what you want about Miley Cyrus (or find something else to talk about altogether), but the lady can hold a tune.

The a cappella cover aired last night on the viral video-machine, Late Night with Jimmy Fallon.

Cooking With Coolio:

A student at the University of Central Lancashire went to a Coolio gig in her hometown. She met the rapper at the after-party, who inexplicably offered to go back to her house and cook dinner for her and her friends.

“We had Coolio’s Caprese Salad, Chicken á la Daaaamn, and Peach Crumble. We also videoed a cooking show (“Cookin’ with Coolio”),” one of the friends told Reddit. “It was just as weird as it sounds.”

The cooking segment has not yet emerged on YouTube, but the ‘Gangster’s Paradise’ jam session has:
