45-year-old Tonya Ann Fowler of Winder, Georgia was arrested recently. (–They don’t say exactly WHEN or for WHAT.)

Her mugshot ended up on the cover of “Bad and Busted” which is one of those local papers that specialize in publishing mugshots of people who’ve recently been arrested.

Tonya wasn’t happy with the way she looked in the photo . . . so on Sunday, she called 911 to COMPLAIN about it. The dispatcher told her that she shouldn’t use 911 unless there was an emergency.

Later that day, Tonya called 911 AGAIN, because the owners of the house where she’d been staying kicked her out . . . and she needed someplace to store her sleeping bags.

Police arrested her for disorderly conduct and misusing 911 . . . and gave her the chance to take a NEW mugshot.

(–Take a look at BOTH of Tonya’s mugshots here. It’s not clear which one made it into “Bad and Busted”.)

A basketball player at a division-two school in North Carolina called Elizabeth City State University threw down a crazy dunk in a summer league game the other day.

He bounced the ball OVER his defender, then caught it like an alley-oop. The video is racking up a ton of hits on YouTube.

32-year-old pro boxer Martin Tucker had lost six fights in a row before winning his last one on April 28th in Toledo. 

But he still ended up losing that night.  He got a bloody nose during the fight . . . and his corner used cotton swabs to clean it up and stop the bleeding between rounds.  Then they threw everything out after the fight.     

But FBI agents were waiting.  The FBI suspected Martin of helping rob a bank in 2009.  He wore a mask and left DNA inside of it.  (–Probably sweat or dead skin.)   

Since Martin and his trainers THREW OUT the cotton swabs, the FBI didn’t even need a search warrant . . . they just needed to fish them out of the trash.   

The DNA results are back, and, sure enough, it links Martin to the bank robbery.

In April, 37-year-old Elle Zober of Portland, Oregon found out that her husband (The Daily Dumbass) was having an affair with a 22-year-old yoga instructor.

Now they’re splitting up, and Elle is trying to sell their family home on her own. It’s a three-bedroom, 1,144-square-foot house she’s listing at $189,000. And she’s decided to use her husband’s infidelity to help with marketing.

Her real-estate signs say, quote, “Husband left us for a 22-year-old. House for sale by scorned, slightly bitter, newly single owner. Adulterers need not apply.”

The signs have generated interest . . . in the house AND Elle. She says she’s gotten some, quote, “interesting offers”, including a few invitations to dinner.

“Breaking Bad” just started its fifth season, it’s won a billion awards . . . and BRYAN CRANSTON has gotten universal praise as the lead character.

Turns out, back when the show was first starting, Cranston was NOT the first choice. He wasn’t even in the discussion. AMC wanted to cast a big-name star . . . and targeted either JOHN CUSACK or MATTHEW BRODERICK.

But they both passed . . . and the creator of the series, Vince Gilligan, pushed for Cranston. At that point, Cranston was best known for over-the-top comedy as the dad on “Malcolm in the Middle”, which made him a hard sell.

One AMC executive said, quote, “We all still had the image of Bryan shaving his body on ‘Malcolm’. We were like, ‘Really? Isn’t there anybody else?’”

Gilligan says he showed them an episode of “The X-Files” he wrote back in 1998, where Cranston guest starred and played a desperate man suffering from radiation exposure.

Quote, “That was a tricky part to cast. We needed somebody who could be dramatic and scary yet have an underlying humanity so when he dies, you felt sorry for him. Bryan nailed it.”

(–Here’s a scene from the “X-Files” episode with DAVID DUCHOVNY and Cranston.)

Remember MR. WIZARD? He had a kids show called “Watch Mr. Wizard” in the ’50s and ’60s, and another one called “Mr. Wizard’s World” in the 80′s.

If you don’t remember him, he was basically a sweet old man who did science experiments. But someone posted a montage on YouTube where he’s joking around with kids . . . and out of context it looks like he’s just a condescending a-hole.

(–By the way, Mr. Wizard’s real name was Donald Herbert. He died in 2007 at age 89.
