Weird News

"Starship Troopers" star Casper Van Dien better start locking his doors ... because he triggered a police emergency when some DRUNK dude accidentally stumbled into his house and passed out on his couch, TMZ has learned.

Van Dien called 911 early Saturday morning to report a possible burglary in progress when his daughter noticed some stranger passed out in the living room of their Miami home.

According to the police report, obtained by TMZ, cops went into "emergency mode" -- and raced to the house. Cops say when they arrived, the intruder was "very intoxicated and unsure where he was."

The guy was immediately arrested and transported to a nearby station. Casper and his family took pics with the cops (see above).

But TMZ has learned ... the whole thing seems to be a simple drunken misunderstanding -- because friends of the "intruder" tell us ... the guy was in town for a bachelor party and he was staying in a nearby mansion with 12 buddies.

The buddies had gone to a strip club on Friday night and ditched the guy -- who was hammered -- and he eventually tried to get a cab back to the residence on his own.

But being as wasted as he was, he accidentally went to a house just down the street ... and walked in the front door (which happened to be unlocked) and passed out on the couch, thinking he had made it home.

He was wrong ... and spent 18 hours in jail.

Retired Penguins star Bill Guerin is living every hockey players dream ... 'cause the guy just dropped HALF A MILLION DOLLARS on a full-size ice rink in his BACKYARD, TMZ Sports has learned.

The 2x-Stanley Cup winner -- who now oversees player development for the Penguins -- had the rink installed in the back of his new home in Sewickley, PA ... just a 25 min drive from the Penguins stadium.

We're told Guerin even ordered a personal ZAMBONI machine to keep the ice in tip top shape.

Also looks like there's a basketball net at the end of the rink ... so we're hoping Guerin's in the process of inventing some sort of hockey-basketball hybrid sport.

The real winners here -- every kid in that neighborhood.

Justin Bieber may not skate on his DUI charge ... but he made up for it by creating a new dance on wheels last night in NYC.

Justin hit up the annual "Leather & Laces" party Saturday night at the Liberty Theatre in NYC ... and created a spectacle of himself by doing kickflips to a Sage the Gemini song.

Two things:

Thing 1 -- Are you getting the feeling Bieber is obsessed with making a spectacle of himself?

Thing 2 -- Who the hell allowed him to bring him in a skateboard?!? Much less, skateboard inside.

Lindsay Lohan has FOUND her precious fur coat ... and it's all because of a member of the Seattle Seahawks.

We broke the story ... Lindsay claimed her $75,000 fur went missing at 1 OAK early Thursday morning.

Turns out ... it was a 2-piece fur and Lindsay claims she left one piece in the club. 1 OAK reportedly said Lindsay was full of it and did not lose anything inside their club.

But now Lindsay says she got the coat back, thanks to Seahawks wide receiver Sidney Rice, who was at Lindsay's table.

We're told after Lindsay left the club, Rice noticed she had left the garment behind and took it home for safe keeping. He contacted Lindsay the next day and her people picked it up.

DMX says he'll be jailed if promoters allow him to step in a boxing ring with George Zimmerman ... because he'd break every boxing rule in the book -- then piss on his face.

The 43-year old rapper tells TMZ ... he's throwing his name out as a potential opponent for George's upcoming celebrity boxing gig -- just like The Game -- and says he wants to do it for "every black person who has been done wrong in the system."

DMX adds, "I am going to beat the living f**k out him … I am breaking every rule in boxing to make sure I f**k him right up."

DMX says, "Once I am done with him, I am going to whip my d**k out and piss on him ... right in his muthaf**kin face."

He adds, "Zimmerman is a piece of s**t and that’s what he needs to drink."

Fun Fact: In the NFL, it's perfectly LEGAL to tackle an opposing player by the hair if it's hanging out of the helmet.

Funner Fact: Players who pull hair deserve to get their ASSES KICKED because they've made things "personal" ... so says LaVar Arrington.

The former NFL defensive stud -- who has some luscious dreadlocks of his own -- says there's an unspoken code among players regarding the "mane" ... and violators NEED to be dealt with.

Of course, Arrington must REALLY hate guys like Jason Babin (JAX) ... who ripped Andre Ellington's (ARIZ) dreadlocks out of his skull during a game earlier this season ... and then displayed it to the crowd like a trophy.

No, LaVar doesn't like that one bit ...

We've never seen Kate Upton do a dance we didn't instantly love -- but her attempt to pull off a Super Bowl TD celebration actually sparked a debate.

Love it or hate it ... we all agree it's fun to watch her try it.

Julie Chen is going back to her Chinese roots -- giving her maiden name top billing ... over Les Moonves no less!

When Julie married CBS honcho Leslie Moonves back in 2004, she changed her legal name to Julie Moonves. But since then she's had a string of big jobs, including host of "The Talk" and "Big Brother," as well as anchor on the "CBS Early Show" -- where she was billed as Chen.

This created problems. Julie tells TMZ, "Some places list me as one last name versus the other and when you have to show ID ... like at The White House or airport it could stall things when it was not a match... It was a hassle." Jeez ... how cool is that -- a hassle at The White House. It's like "Scandal" only real.

So Julie has filed a petition to change her name again -- this time to Julie Chen Moonves -- no hyphen. We're guessing the judge will approve the petition because everyone in L.A. wants a job with Les and we're guessing he's down with the change.

Internet sensation Colonel Meow died of CARDIAC ARREST ... triggered while valiantly trying to fight off a kidney infection ... TMZ has learned.

The Colonel's owner Anne Marie Avery tells us ... Meow was rushed to a hospital last week after he started breathing heavily -- and docs quickly realized his kidneys were failing because of an infection.

Colonel fought like cats and dogs for a week ... but stress eventually got the best of him.

Avery plans to create a charity in the Colonel's honor -- and she's already got the support of Grumpy Cat and Keyboard Cat.

Like a commuter trying to cross the George Washington Bridge, Chris Christie's attempt at comedy last night came to a grinding halt at the Roast of Boomer Esiason in NYC.

The Gov. took the stage at the legendary Friars Club to roast the former NFL star and quickly learned the first lesson of comedy -- don't do it unless you're actually funny.

Among the lowlights ...

-- "When I was approached about doing to this event, I said yes right away. I said listen, 'I''ll do anything for Super Bowl winning quarterback Boomer Esiason' ... and then i said, ya know, he didnt win that game did he? That was Joe Montana that won that game." [Boomer looks at his watch].

-- "Look at this dais ... I mean Robert Wuhl, seriously? I mean at this point, Robert will show up for anything."

-- "I mean I've seen bigger stars after bumping my head."

-- "What happened? Were Screech and the dog from Frasier busy today?"

And the Joke de la Resistance ... Christie PRETENDED like he was going to announce his candidacy for President of the United States ... but then, CURVEBALL!!!

"Ghost Adventures" host Zak Bagans has taken on his most terrifying project yet -- he just bought a house in Indiana ... believed to be the site of one of the most terrifying demonic possessions ever ... a rumored "portal to hell."

The house rose to fame in 2012 ... after a mother who lived there reported her 12-year-old daughter and 9-year-old son had been possessed. Shockingly, there are even docs from child protective services that back up her claims.

Among the many scary incidents ... the mother says she witnessed her daughter levitating above her bed.

She also said she saw her son walking on their ceiling ... an account corroborated by several other witnesses. The mother did everything she could to de-demonize the house -- including building an altar and hiring an exorcist -- but nothing worked and she eventually moved.

Zak tells us, he caught wind of the horrifying tale and made an offer to purchase the home for $35,000 -- the owner was all too willing to sell.

The photo shown above is an actual police photo of the house ... and it's hard to miss what looks like an apparition in the window.

Zak says he's going to live there and document his experience -- "If it's true this home is a portal to hell, then I want to go there and see what happens."

Balls of steel.

Check out the CPS report (below) ... detailing the family's frightening claims.

She's late to the game, but Dame Helen Mirren risked her 68-year-old hip to do some twerking ... and the video is pretty awesome.

Helen was at Harvard to receive the Hasty Pudding Club's Woman of the Year Award yesterday ... when they dared her to go where Miley Cyrus, Nicki Minaj, and thousands of other women more than half her age have gone.

Helen refuses at first, but eventually drops it kinda low.

Hey, it's definitely hotter than anything Madonna's done lately.

Jason Biggs better learn the horah ... 'cause his dog turned 13 Thursday -- and his wife threw the cute pooch its own "bark mitzvah" to celebrate.

Like a true yenta ... Jason's wife Jenny Mollen documented the whole ceremony on her Instagram when she and Biggs took the dog -- named Teets -- to a temple to make things official.

The whole fam dined on challah afterward to commemorate the special day.

Good news for Seahawks and Broncos fans planning on lighting up a super bowl of ganja this Sunday ... 'cause TMZ Sports has learned, pot stores are now selling CUSTOMIZED WEED for the big game.

Medical marijuana dispensaries in Denver and Seattle -- the only two cities in the country where you can toke up recreationally -- are actually selling Super Bowl themed pot.

You can smoke "Richard Sherman OG" from Rain City Medical in Seattle -- which will also be passing out Seahawks colored weed-infused popcorn to munch on during the game.

Meanwhile, Kind Meds dispensary in Denver is featuring a "Big Bad Broncos" strain ... "Agent Orange Kush" ... and even "Bruised Seahawks" -- so Broncos fans can literally smoke the opposition.

And for the stoners who aren't into Bruno Mars ... both stores are offering half-price specials at half-time -- in case anyone needs to stock up during the game.

Joe Buck is getting ready to call Super Bowl XLVIII ... and if there are any strange noises or odors in the announcing booth this weekend -- don't blame him ... blame Troy Aikman.

Unless Al Roker's in the area. Then it's definitely Al.

Vanessa Hudgens is so aggressively cutting ties with her Disney past ... that she's using the mouse house -- and her smoking hot body -- to push high grade marijuana.

The next Mickey Mouse Club reunion is gonna be fuuuuuun!
