No ticket please. I'm insured!

STOCKHOLM (Reuters) - Tired of parking fines and speeding tickets? A Swedish company offers insurance against both, claiming to be the first in the field.

Swedish drivers who register with the Bisso company at the Web site www.bisso.se and pay an annual fee of 850 crowns (62.76 pounds) are covered against three speeding tickets a year, as long as they are not more than 30 km an hour (19 miles an hour) above the limit.

For an extra fee, drivers can buy cover against parking fines. Fines in Sweden, which has one of the best road safety records in the world, range from 800 to 2000 crowns for speeding and 425 to 700 crowns for parking offences.

"We believe drivers are under economic pressure and there is no room in household budgets to pay fines. We offer economic protection," said Dan Glimmeras, head of marketing at Bisso.

He told Reuters insuring against speeding fines was not illegal, but repeat offenders could still lose their licence.

Several thousand people had signed up for the insurance since May, Glimmeras said.

Mike Tyson turns porn star!

Former World Boxing Champion Mike Tyson may star in a porn film with Jenna Jameson.

Tyson, who retired from boxing last month, said that he desperately needs money to pay his tax bills of several million dollars, and a porn career could help him in his cause.

"I just talked to a gentleman called Jimmy who's involved with Jenna Jameson. They said they were interested in getting me involved in the adult film industry. I need the money up front," femalefirst quoted him as saying to Zoo magazine.

American boxing journalist Pedro Fernandez also said that Tyson, who was jailed for six years in 1992 on rape charges, would triumph in the sex industry.

"According to court documentation from Tyson's rape trial, his member is at least 14in long. If Tyson brings out some of the ferocity that made him a champion, he could definitely become a successful porn star," he said.

Wrong Car For Joke Traffic Stop

TAMPA, Fla. -- Marvin Williams thought it would be funny to put a blue-and-red flashing light on the dashboard of his friend's car and pretend to pull over another motorist, police said.

But the joke backfired Sunday night when Williams picked a car with two undercover Tampa cops inside.It didn't help much when he laughed about it as he drove by. Then, when police followed him, the 22-year-old Williams ran from the vehicle, officials say.

He left behind two female friends who were riding with him, and 7 grams of cocaine on the center console, police said. The officers caught up, caught him and found the drugs. Williams was charged with cocaine possession, impersonating a law enforcement officer and resisting arrest.

Williams posted $4,500 bail Monday night and was released. A working phone number could not be located for him Tuesday, and it wasn't known if he had an attorney.Officers also arrested a woman riding in the front seat and charged her with cocaine possession.

Police spokeswoman Laura McElroy said Williams joked with his passengers about pulling someone over in the moments before pulling behind Officers Sean Kruger and Jason Degagne shortly before midnight.

"The joke was on him," McElroy said. "His victims turned out to be police officers who escorted him to jail -- with a real blue light."

Britney Spears to give birth on TV

Kevin Federline has wanted his wife Britney Spears to give birth on live TV this October.

"Even though their recent TV show Chaotic didn't do well in the ratings, Kevin thinks that a two-part special in which Britney goes into labor and subsequently delivers would draw viewers," a source tells Star People.

However, even camera-loving Britney is understandably skeptical.

"Britney told me that it wouldn't be Kevin screaming and crying out in pain on TV," a friend says. "She said giving birth should be a very private thing for just Kevin and her to share, and that she's not sure she wants the whole world looking on.

"Britney feels that when a woman gives birth, she's certainly not looking her best, and she doesn't want to have to worry about how she looks in front of the camera when she should be concentrating on birthing a healthy baby," the friend adds.

But while a live telecast of the blessed event is out of the picture, Kevin, 27, may talk Britney, 23, into airing a tape.

"Britney has agreed to allow Kevin to tape the big moment with their personal video camera, and depending on the outcome and just how difficult a time she has, she says she might reconsider and allow it to air after the fact," the friend says.

Dog's 'tumour'

A German vet who operated on a dog to remove a suspected stomach tumour found a g-string instead.

Claudia Schuermann, head of the Troisdorf animal rescue home, said bull terrier Breiti was handed in after his previous owners complained he ate "anything that wasn't nailed down".

She said: "He's a lovely dog and we had already found him a new home when he stopped eating, and the vet noticed a hard lump in his stomach."

After giving 10-year-old Breiti an ultrasound examination, the vet concluded he had stomach cancer and operated immediately to remove the 'tumour'.

But when the pet was cut open the vet found the cancer was actually an undigested g-string the dog had stolen from his last owners.

Troisdorf worker Christiane Thul-Steinheuer said: "Bull terriers tend to have fetishes. Some like shoes, but with Breiti, it's lacy lingerie. Each to his own."

Osama planned to poison US-bound cocaine

Osama bin Laden tried to buy large amounts of cocaine, spike it with poison and sell it in the United States, it was claimed .

His plan failed when Colombian drugs barons told the terror chief it would be bad for their business, according to the New York Post.

The newspaper said it had reviewed a document detailing a US probe into the aborted transaction and the Drug Enforcement Administration’s findings.

Bin Laden allegedly met leaders of a Colombian drugs cartel in 2002, just months after the September 11 attack, and said he was willing to pay tens of millions of dollars for tons of cocaine.

But the druglords concluded it would ruin the market for the class A drug in the US and stopped the plan.

They also feared retaliation from the US government if thousands of Americans died after taking the drug, according to the newspaper.
