Even Samuel L. Jackson isn't badass enough to handle this nightmare. Some English pet shop owner was busted in an airport in Brazil for trying to smuggle 1,000 LIVE SPIDERS onto an airplane.
He almost made it too -- dude was arrested on Wednesday right before he boarded his flight back to Europe at Rio de Janeiro's international airport ... when an x-ray of his suitcases revealed he was traveling with an army of illegal 8-legged cargo ... including tarantulas.
He hoped to sell the creepy crawlies once he got home -- but now faces up to a year in jail if convicted of animal trafficking, plus millions in fines.

Britney Spears' conservatorship hearings are usually tedious arguments about money -- but today's hearing could mean Britney Spears is taking her tour Down Under. G'day, y'all!
Lawyers today raised the idea of expanding Brit's tour to include dates in Australia and parts of Europe. Currently Britney's tour dates are in the U.S. and Canada, with a few dates in London in June.
Nothing was decided upon today. They are due back in court April 14.

Nothing thrills a jaded former fan quite like a vintage doll. Lucky day, eBay has a European auction for a Michael Jackson HIStory doll, still sealed in its box.
Dressed in black and white, and complete with that creepy arm brace thing he was wearing in the 90s, this doll is sure to warm the cockles of hearts that remember the days before Neverland search warrants, putty noses, and dangling children named Blanket.
Now your child can finally play with Michael, worry-free.

Your cell phone's pretty cool, isn't it? Takes pictures, videos, sends messages, browses the web, blah, blah, blah. Guess what? The rest of the world -- especially Europe and Asia -- thinks your super-cool phone is about as rad as two tin cans and a string.
It turns out that the slow-moving Federal Communications Commission and fickle consumers keep the United States cell phone market pretty backwards compared to the rest of the world. For instance, in Japan, the Sharp 905SH phone allows users to watch TV -- and record their favorite shows as well to watch on its swivel screen, just like portable TiVo. In fact, Japan has a digital broadcast standard in place just for cell phones.

When did P!nk join Cirque Du Soleil? The rock star (aka Alecia Moore) shocked concertgoers in Switzerland Wednesday with a dazzling performance that could have been mistaken for the world famous circus production. The singer busted out hit song after hit song without missing a note, all while swinging high over the stage from nothing more than sheets and performing high energy acrobatics.
This was the first performance for the ever-evolving rock star on her "I'm Not Dead" European concert tour. P!nk's next stop will be in Austria on September 28 before heading to Belgium, Germany, the U.K. and other cities throughout Europe. Her final show is slated for December 21 in Luxembourg.
Can't get to Europe? TMZ has compiled some pictures of the hottest moments during her show, including multiple outfit changes, motorcycles and scandalous dance moves. Enjoy.

We already knew she was a golden child, but now Paris Hilton has the wardrobe to match.
The celebutante played an expensive game of dress-up with her gal pal Kim Kardashian in Venice, Italy this weekend, sporting a gold shal/blanket and some fashionable headgear during a traditional gondola ride through the city's famous canals.
Back on land, the ladies made their way to Piazza San Marco where they fed pigeons in front of a star struck crowd of onlookers and photogs. The birds even played along, chowing down on food straight from the heiress' hands.
This visit marks the second European city on Paris and Kim's recent promotional tour for German wine producer Rich Prosecco. The trendy travelers recently rolled through Munich, Germany to celebrate Oktoberfest.
