  Continuing signs of the coming apocalypse today in a variety of bizarre arrests and other News of The Weird exclusives. The Tampa, FL area continues to be a source of great amusement for Scanner bloggers-- today's story features a man brought in on felony charges for building a treehouse on a chemical company's forested property so he could feed his addiction to horse racing.  Raymond Rogers built hisself a fifteen-foot-high tree house in what he probably thought was some abandoned forest so he could use binoculars to eyeball the track. Rogers told police he had been banned from entering the grandstand itself after "causing problems with the customers."

• Sloppy Seconds: No Grammys for Amy Winehouse, Musical Condoms and Tyra Banks' "Accident"

  Amy Winehouse will not perform at the Grammys this year—or even show up—because she's been denied a US visa. Looks like she's going to stay, stay, stay right where she is.  A condom that makes music with every thrust? No thanks.   Did Tyra Banks soil herself at Fashion Week? Don't worry, Tyra. It happens to the best of us. Usually when we're hungover or have the flu, but whatevs.  Don't forget New Yorkers, you have a date with us Tuesday night.  Posted Feb 07 2008, 05:05 PM by Emily Farris with | with no comments Filed under: scanner, music, amy winehouse, poop, Tyra Banks, pee, condoms, grammys, readings, events, accidents
