Her Royal Highness Minnie Driver

Posted on by

That just works on so many levels.

Princess Anastasia Jerusalem

From the mug shots it appears that former Hollywood “It Girlfriend” Minnie Driver may have been spending the latter part of her extended hiatus (extended from approximately the wrap of Grosse Point Blank) in Norway, playfully pranking the locals who apparently didn’t read People in the early Nineties and thus had no idea that they were supposed to, like, catch on to the fact that the woman claiming to be one Princess Anastasia Jerusalem was, in fact, an acclaimed international actress and accomplished and widely respected musician.

It’s a joke, see. She’s not really crazy.

Although I hear Matt Damon may be of a slightly different opinion.

Aftenposten, via Fark.

The woman, who calls herself Anastasia Jerusalem, speaks Spanish and English and was first arrested in Oslo on July 15 this year. She was released on condition that she report in regularly and has since been in Bergen.

Authorities have been unable to identify her, and do not even know what country she is from…

Her PR is so getting shitcanned for that line.

free upgrade on British Airways: one time only

Death Takes a Holiday 

Nothing beats a free upgrade to First Class on an overseas flight, eh? The legroom, the fully-reclining seats, the super-attendant staff, the gourmet meals, the Champagne, the rapidly-stiffening corpse in the last row.

Some people will do anything to get an upgrade!

‘It was a very strange and unsettling thing to experience.

‘We were about half way into the flight and getting my head down to sleep when I heard a commotion from behind the curtain in first class.

‘Stewardesses were running up and down the aisle. There was no panic but there was a sense of urgency. The staff were very professional.

‘There was a call over the loudspeakers for a medical doctor. From where I was sitting towards the back of First Class I was aware of them performing resuscitation techniques behind the curtains as I tried to watch the in-flight movie – Mission Impossible III.’

‘I felt quite uneasy. But some passengers were being very British about it and simply not acknowledging there was anything wrong.

‘One of the stewardesses then came to me and said there was some rather bad news. There had been a death on board.

‘She asked would I mind awfully moving to the other side of the cabin because they needed to bring the body in. The first class section was about 80 per cent full.

‘Four male stewards came I carrying the poor chap who was in his 60s or 70s and casually dressed. But he was a bit too big for them. Another passenger lent a hand as they propped him up

‘They wrapped him in a blanket and strapped him in and semi-reclined the seat. But his head was exposed and leaning to one said, as if he were asleep. I could see the top of his head throughout the flight…’

BA said the dead man was taken into First Class because business class was full.

You know, they had me until I got to that line. I mean, sure the guy’s dead and all, but I’m not seeing where it makes more sense for him to be dead in First Class than in Economy. After all, he won’t be needing any of that Champagne, and after a couple of hours he won’t be able to recline anyway.

Art is pouring in from Tiki artists from across the globe for your polenysian perusal this Saturday at Lucky Red for what has become the highlight of the Vancouver winter art season: the annual New Tiny Tiki Lounge show.
