Japanese woman caught living in man's closet
After the fact, the guy said she was "neat and clean", how considerate LOL, lived in his closest without him knowing for a whole year and cleaned up.. He should hire her as his maid..
---
A homeless woman who sneaked into a man's house and lived undetected in his closet for a year was arrested in Japan after he became suspicious when food mysteriously began disappearing.
Police found the 58-year-old woman Thursday hiding in the top compartment of the man's closet and arrested her for trespassing, police spokesman Hiroki Itakura from southern Kasuya town said Friday.
The resident of the home installed security cameras that transmitted images to his mobile phone after becoming puzzled by food disappearing from his kitchen over the past several months.
One of the cameras captured someone moving inside his home Thursday after he had left, and he called police believing it was a burglar. However, when they arrived they found the door locked and all windows closed.
"We searched the house ... checking everywhere someone could possibly hide," Itakura said. "When we slid open the shelf closet, there she was, nervously curled up on her side."
The woman told police she had no place to live and first sneaked into the man's house about a year ago when he left it unlocked.
She had moved a mattress into the small closet space and even took showers, Itakura said, calling the woman "neat and clean."

Kim Kardashian rages at Houston Imposter
Kardashian was furious when she discovered an imposter was paid to pretend to be her at a Houston, Texas hotspot - and she's taking a stand using her blog.
She writes, "I am angry and disappointed to hear that people are going around a Houston, Texas, nightclub pretending to be me and pretending to work with me, lying and conning my friends and fans.
"A man in Houston has been selling tickets and promoting me and my image without my permission - and you know who you are - and taking a look-a-like to clubs pretending to be me, but hiding behind dark sunglasses and curtains - refusing to meet or speak to anyone.
"The truth is, I was not in Houston this week and have no plans to come to Texas until the end of June.
"Houston, I love you and I'm sorry!!!! Please spread the word about these con artists!"

Don't know where I got the idea that even though it was screening Eastern time they would still be playing after 5.30pm.. You live and learn.
Of course the only person that recorded it only recorded the match and not the winning penalty shootouts, isn't that just grand??
--
Amid thickening rain and an unbreakable 1-1 tie, the game came down to a penalty-kick shootout. After an unfortunate slip by the Chelsea captain John Terry sent his potential winning kick off the post, Manchester United goalkeeper Edwin van der Sar blocked a shot by Nicolas Anelka, giving United the championship. A deafening chorus of English fans sent shudders through Luzhniki Stadium.
