The idiot to the right is accused of making one of the stupidest mistakes ever this weekend -- he allegedly drove drunk to a trooper station and then tried checking in ... thinking it was a hotel.
The 25-year-old, Mitchell Deslatte, was booked on DWI in Louisiana after he went into the station and asked a trooper at the desk if it was a hotel.
It's unclear if his cell came with free HBO and a continental breakfast.

Sure, he may have been the greatest mind in all of human history, but how can Albert Einstein possibly compete with a picture of a D-list celeb's bloated belly?
The famous tongue wagging pic of Einstein has just been auctioned off for $74,324 to a bidder in Long Island, NY. To put Einstein's theory of relativity into practice: Tori Spelling reportedly sold her pregnancy pics for $250,000.
E = .29Tori.

Eddie Van Halen seems destined for Las Vegas ... it's generally the next step for badass rockers who register at Crate and Barrel.
We noticed an online wedding registry for Eddie and Janie Liszewski -- the next Valerie Bertinelli. As for their wish list, it includes bamboo salad hands, appetizer forks and two -- count them -- two different types of whisks.
Not that we don't love C & B. But seriously, there's also a chip and dip bowl ...

In case it's not already clear, out-of-work actors really are willing to do anything for cash/fame ... even if it involves mimicking bodily fluids.
The director of "The Great Sperm Race" hired hundreds of unemployed actors and extras to dress in all white and run across North America -- mimicking the sperm's journey from, well, "point A" to "point B". It doesn't look like the work was that interesting either -- the actors' direction was to "run for your life."
The film reportedly spent the majority of its 2 million dollar budget on the hundreds of actors' fees and a costly scene involving a water slide ...

Vince Shlomi, aka the ShamWow guy, has been injured yet again ... but this time in a non-prostitute fight kind of way.
Miami Beach police tell us the television pitch-man was involved in a head-on collision in Miami Beach late Thursday night. Three vehicles were involved in the accident -- and Shlomi was in one of the two vehicles that struck each other head-on at an intersection. Random Pixels first reported the incident. There were no fatalities.
Mount Sinai hospital in Miami Beach confirms that Shlomi was taken to the ER as a result of the collision, but was released around 6 a.m. Friday morning -- just in time to catch one of his commercials on reruns.

Sure, he looks like someone you're more likely to give a handout than ask out, but Gary Busey is still reeling 'em in left and right!
Who knew girls were such suckers for hearing about the "five points of the Devil's claw?"

Anderson Cooper was outed as a Lady GaGa fan last night -- and the eternally short-shorted Richard Simmons didn't miss a beat challenging him to a "Just Dance" dance-off.
Cooper didn't take the bait, but the 100% authentic awkwardness is just as entertaining ... if not more.

The motorized bar stool a moronic mastermind was riding when he got a DUI in April was so cool, Ripley's Believe it or Not just tried to buy it -- but turns out the guy's checkered past got in the way of the sale. Shocker.
Ripley's just offered Kyle Wygle $3,500 for the coolest contraption on Earth -- but according to Ripley's, the Licking County Child Support Enforcement Agency begged the company not to buy it because K.W. was $37,066.39 in the hole.
Wygle told us he's now taking the LCCSEA to court -- and even told the agency to "f*** off" -- so he can finally cash in on his idiotic ingenuity.
