Heidi Klum at Mr. Bones Pumpkin Patch in West Hollywood last week

Remember the crazy dude in Ohio last week who freed all those lions, tigers, and bears from his private zoo -- apparently those are legal in Ohio -- and then killed himself? He once loaned a lion cub to Heidi Klum for a photoshoot. This is all her fault for empowering him! From CNN:

In a 2008 video in New York, [Terry] Thompson is seen smiling, holding a cub and handing it over to model Klum.

"I wrote a letter to Heidi Klum's people," said Larry Hostetler, the executive director of the Animal Shelter Society of Muskingum County. "I strongly voiced my opinion that if they're going to hire animals for entertainment, they might want to check handlers' backgrounds -- that Terry Thompson had been convicted of animal cruelty. Of course, I never heard anything back."

Hollywood is so full of mixed messages, I don't know what to believe anymore. Sometimes celebrities don't wear any clothes to protest the wearing of fur, and sometimes, like Heidi, they use animals as props. Which is it? Frankly, I don't care one way or the other. Any excuse to get chicks to take their clothes off that doesn't involve me doing something illegal is fine with me. In related news, chloroform is on sale this week at Home Depot. Score!
