(Newser) – A drug-filled home video from 1999 of then-23-year-old Angelina Jolie babbling about sadomasochistic sex and killing her pets has surfaced, the Sun reports. In the video, the noted humanitarian and mother of four describes how she killed her mouse when she dyed it blue and gave her hamster pneumonia when she brought it into the shower.

While the Oscar-winning do-gooder doesn't get high in the (hardly groundbreaking) video, a woman sitting nearby casually smokes heroine as Jolie rubs her teeth and tries to keep her heavy eyelids open. “I’ve done coke, heroin, ecstasy, LSD, everything," Jolie has admitted. I gave them up long ago.”

Stopping Suicide No Publicity Stunt: T.I.

Rapper slams claims he was trying to look good ahead of court date

(NEWSER) - After T.I. talked a man threatening suicide out of jumping from a downtown Atlanta building, some are calling the move a publicity stunt—but that couldn’t be further from the truth, the rapper tells CNN .

Calif. Cat-Eater Busted

Man arrested after neighbors report screeching, smelling 'awful meat'

(NEWSER) - Disgusted cops in Bakersfield say they've arrested a man on suspicion of cooking and eating cats. Jason Louis Wilmer was charged with animal cruelty and using a pet or domesticated animal for food after neighbors heard cats screeching at his house and called police, AP reports. "I heard a cat cry. It was a weird cry, real loud," a neighbor told KBAK-TV . He said he went outside to peer into Wilmert's backyard, where he saw "a little burner going" and smelled "awful meat."

Pot Smoking Doubles Risk of Car Accident

Study is first to probe link between marijuana and collisions: researchers

(NEWSER) - Smoking marijuana three hours or less before getting behind the wheel nearly doubles your chance of a major car crash, a study suggests. It's the first study to look at the link between cannabis and crash risk, the Canadian researchers believe. They examined study data for more than 49,000 collision victims, limiting their research to crashes that didn't involve alcohol, CBC reports. "The level of impairment might not be as severe as alcohol intoxication, but it's there and it does require a public health response," says an expert. More»
