A Pennywise For Your Insane Thoughts

Police responded early Friday to a call of shots fired at a home in Roberts and found a man apparently hallucinating an attack by clowns.

The 40-year-old man, armed with a shotgun, had fired several shots in his mother's home. It also appeared that he fired a shot at his mother and visiting father as they fled from the home in a vehicle, said St. Croix County Sheriff Dennis Hillstead.

"Pellets probably hit their windshield," Hillstead said.

Police arrived about 4 a.m. and surrounded the home. The man came to the door at one point and was "yelling at what he could see in the yard, but there was nothing there," Hillstead said.

The man went back into the home and fired more rounds, Hillstead said. In total, about 22 shotgun rounds were fired into the walls and ceiling of the home.

The man then went to the porch with the shotgun in hand and a bag of ammunition around his neck. He did not respond to police commands, but after the man slipped and fell, deputies were able to take him into custody, Hillstead said.

While being taken to a hospital for examination, the man indicated he had taken a hallucinogenic drug. He said he believed that people dressed as clowns were attacking his mother's home and that he had shot and killed a number of them, Hillstead said. He also said he had shot dogs that were attacking him and that his mother had been shot and killed.

"He was ... not in touch with reality," Hillstead said.

No one (imaginary clowns) was/were injured in the incident.

Believe it or not, John Daly isn't photo-bombing the boringly well-dressed group of men around him ... they're all past winners of the British (not Jamaican) Open (Daly included believe it or not), which begins on Thursday. Feel free to make your own snarky comments on Facebook.

Turn This Way You Will

TomTom, a company that makes global-positioning devices, recently signed a licensing deal with Lucasfilm to use three "Star Wars" character voices (Han Solo will be the fourth in August) in an effort to get drivers to their destination in the safest and nerdiest way possible. It's nice to know that a GPS device incorporating Yoda's voice will be equally as ornery to stubborn drivers who feel they don't need directions.

Brain Damage/Engaged

After Bret Michaels recovery from brain hemorrhage, it seems he is preparing to take the next step in his life and will get married to his former long-time ex, Kristi Gibson, 39. Gibson, a former model, is also the mother of Bret’s two children and has been by his side all the time he was in ICU for his terrible condition.

Here is a picture of them together, and apparently is one of the few pictures you can find with Gibson.

Michaels took the chance to speak to People magazine and this is what he said:

“As painful as this experience has been, I was given a second chance, right? I don’t want to sit around every night worrying this is going to happen again. What I want to do is make a positive bucket list and say, ‘I’m just gonna go for it.’ There’s just so much more I want to do and experience. (Getting married), for sure, is something I have never done. Kristi’s such a great person. We’ll see if that happens. But yes, that may be one of the big things on the list. My first goal is to get back (to) 100 percent. I want to continue to rock the world, and I want to continue to love my family and be a good father.”

YES! YES!! YES!!!

'Beavis and Butt-head" -- the show that celebrated the slacker way of life and helped make MTV into a network that did more than just play music videos -- is coming back.

The move to resurrect the hugely popular 1990s animated anti-heroes has been rumored for several days. But yesterday, sources at MTV confirmed that a new batch of "Beavis and Butt-head" episodes are in the works.

The new series would keep Beavis and Butt-head in their perpetual high-school state, but it would be updated so that the pals -- who obsessively watch music videos on a battered TV set -- could lob their snarky comments at more current targets like Lady Gaga.

The show's minimalist animated style is also expected to remain intact.

The return of "Beavis and Butt-head" will be a backdoor means for MTV to return to showing music videos -- something the network was founded upon but abandoned in the last decade to make room for popular reality shows like "Laguna Beach," "The Hills" and "Jersey Shore."

MTV officials had no comment yesterday.

Judge is "not commenting at this time," his publicist said.
