Smashing Pumpkins making new Smashing rock!

On Wednesday, The Smashing Pumpkins announced that their seventh studio album, Oceania, will be released in June. In an interview with ABC News Radio, frontman Billy Corgan says that he gave himself total creative freedom as he developed the songs for the album.

”We've shifted back into a mindset of, like, we must make great music at a very high level and if the song is 11 minutes long, well then that's, the song's 11 minutes long,” says the singer. “Oceania has two songs, like, one's seven minutes long, one's 10 minutes long. So, we're back in the mode of just, like, let's just make the best music possible.”

Corgan added that he had a wealth of material to choose from as he put the album together. “The 13 songs in Oceania are probably culled down from about 30 or 40 songs,” notes Corgan. “I kind of went into it how I'd made the albums in the '90s. The way I used to work would be like, 'OK, I'm going to take the best rock song, the best pop song, the best moody song and just go from there' and so I went back to the way that I used to work, and so it has that kind of sense of diversity in the album." (AUDIO IS EXCLUSIVE)

Oceania is set to arrive in stores on June 19.

Linkin Park Album News!

Linkin Park is ready to give you a taste of their fifth studio album. The band has announced they'll release their first single, “Burn it Down,” next month. Multi-instrumentalist Mike Shinoda posted a short video online in which he reveals that “’Burn It Down’…will be hitting the radio on April 16. Until then, you can go to LinkinPark.com soon to unlock pieces of the song."

In an interview with MTV.com, frontman Chester Bennington gave fans an idea of what they can expect from the new single. “All of our songs take these really big creative turns and twists throughout the process, so sometimes songs will start out as a melody or some musical chord progressions,” says Bennington. ”Other times, they'll start out as beats, and the next thing you know they kind of evolve over the course of the making of the album. But what's interesting about this track is the really high energy and the really strong electronic melodies and hooks kind of set this song apart, which is why we chose it as our first single.”

Linkin Park’s as-yet-untitled album is expected to be released this summer.

The Black Keys are thinking about releasing a live album. In a recent interview with Spinner.com, drummer Patrick Carney said that the band is considering a compilation of some their performances from their current co-headlining tour with Arctic Monkeys.

“We recorded every show, just waiting for the right venue to do something like that,” says Carney. “You can't put a live record out and say, Live from the KFC Arena. Everything has these name rights. We have to wait 'til we get to a place that's called something like Madison Square Garden. If you released a record that's recorded at a place [with a corporate name], you have to give your royalties away to union people. I don't really know the details.”

In addition to a potential live album, Carney notes the band also has plans to start work on their next studio album. “We booked some studio time for two weeks in July,” reveals the drummer. “So I know we're going to start working on the next album in a couple of months. We haven't really talked about it. We just want to get in the studio and start. That's the only time we have to get into the studio until January, because we're working all the way through the second half of summer, fall, and early winter.”

An Israeli man who was taken into custody after causing a disturbance in his apartment is facing new charges for biting a police dog. The Jerusalem Post reports the man continued to be hostile at the police station, and eventually "pounced" on a police dog, clamping down on the German Shepherd's ear. The paper reports officers had to forcibly pry the suspect's jaws apart to free the canine cop, which was treated for minor injuries to its ear. The suspect could be charged with assaulting a police officer for attacking the dog.

Police need the public's help to catch a woman in Culpeper, Virginia who allegedly stole $1,600 worth of cosmetic facial injections on March 9th. WUSA-TV reports say the suspect, said to be in her 50s, gave a fake name and address to the staff before slipping out of the office following her treatments. She's apparently still at large and likely looking fabulous. The suspect is between 5'4" and 5'8" tall, between 150 to 170 pounds, and has "whitish blond hair," according to staffers. Surveillance cameras caught her driving a gray four-door Chevrolet sedan.

Mötley Crüe is back in the studio working on some new material. “We're getting some really good stuff out,” guitarist Mick Mars tells WeLoveMetal.com. “We're coming up with some ideas and stuff. We're just running stuff by the guys and seeing what they think. We're going to put it in the Mötley machine and see what comes out. That's how we've always done it.” Mars added the new songs will be inspired by Crüe's earlier work. “We're trying to put together something that's really amazing so I don't want to give away a lot,” reveals Mars. “It could be a single or an EP or it could be a full album. Whatever it is, we'll try to give the best we've really recorded for a long time. It's going to be like a ‘Dr. Feelgood’…that kind of quality. I don't mean like stepping back into the '80s. It will be very modern. It will just be good quality music.” In other Mötley Crüe news, the band has joined forces with Kiss for a massive North American summer trek called, simply, The Tour. That outing kicks off on July 20 at Jiffy Lube Live in Bristow, VA.

Die-hard college basketball fans letting their team rivalries turn physical can be unfortunately commonplace during March Madness, but such dust-ups are usually reserved for sports bars, not dialysis clinics. However, that's just what happened at the Georgetown Dialysis Clinic in Georgetown, Kentucky, Tuesday reports Kentucky ABC affiliate KMBC. Authorities say patient Charles Taylor was boosting his Louisville Cardinals, when fellow patient Ed Wilson, a Kentucky Wildcats fan, reportedly flipped Taylor the bird. Cops say Taylor then walked over to Wilson and punched him in the face. Although the cops were called, no charges were filed by Wilson, provided Taylor agreed not to undergo dialysis at the same time Wilson does so they can't face off again. Their teams, however, will meet up on the hardwood Saturday.

Three hundred players of the Danish state-run lottery thought they hit a billion dollar jackpot last Wednesday, thanks to an email from the company that manages the contest, Danske Spil. According to the local newspaper Nordjyske, however, the email was sent out accidentally, and the company had the unenviable job of telling each of the winners that they weren't actually $3.8 billion winners. Some obviously thought the email was genuine. One of those who got the email, Flemming Dahl, complained to the paper about being "a billionaire for an-hour-and-a-half." Danske Spil spokesman Thomas Roersig said of the former winners, "We are of course very sorry. We have now written to them to inform them of the sum that they really won." Reportedly, a very nominal amount. How'd they take the news? "Some were disappointed, others were furious and I can fully understand that, but most of them took it well," he said.

A 43-year-old Belgian truck driver recently got into some hot water over his need for hot coffee behind the wheel. The Austrian Times reports Isaac Fremont, 43, was busted by cops in Schaffhausen, Switzerland when they discovered he was driving with not one, but two kitchen counter coffee pots running on his dashboard. The officers ruled the jury rigged system was illegal. Fremont was fined, and forced to dismantle his mobile coffee bar and take down the rest of the items -- including stuffed animals and family pictures that were obstructing his view -- before he was allowed to drive on.

A 41-year-old man was busted for drunk and negligent drunk driving in a bizarre roll-over accident in Newcastle, Australia Monday morning.

The couple got lost on their way to the store, however, and in a misguided attempt at a u-turn, the man managed to roll his vehicle. An off-duty cop responded to the crash scene to find the nude driver and his wife unharmed.

As the clock ticks closer to December 21st, 2012 -- the day those who believe in the Mayan calendar say the world will end -- some believers are making a trip to what some are calling an alien Noah's Ark. For generations, the mountain at Pic de Bugarach in France was thought to possess some other-worldly qualities, but according to the UK Independent, those making their way to the site now believe the mountain hides a UFO, which will burst forth on December 21st, and whisk away nearby human hitchhikers to another dimension. The mayor of the nearby town of Bugarach says 20 thousand people have climbed the mountain this year -- already doubling last year's total.

A bank teller in West Palm Beach, Florida apparently used a Jedi mind trick against a would-be robber last week that led to his arrest. According to CBS 12, a 59-year-old man walked into the Sabadell United Bank last Tuesday, and allegedly told the teller he was armed, and he wanted cash in the beer-filled grocery bag he handed to her. The bank employee pretended to comply, telling the suspect, later identified as Robert Henderson, to have a seat while she got the cash together. In the meantime, she sounded a silent alarm, and stalled Henderson enough to give cops time to respond. Henderson was arrested as soon as he stepped outside the bank, and all the cash recovered.

GnR R&RHoF Update

While each member of Guns N’ Roses has different opinions on whether the band will put aside their differences and perform at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induction ceremony, drummer Matt Sorum is staying positive.

"We're all sitting at the same table, so it should be cool," Sorum tells Billboard.com. "After we get a little bit of food in us, hopefully someone will get up and want to play, but I don't know. I'm not the guy to ask. I just hope it works out."

Sorum added that he’s excited to be inducted into the Hall of Fame. "I feel great about it," says the drummer. "I`m glad I made the cut. I don't know who that secret society is that votes you into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, but I'm glad I have some friends in there, somehow. The original band got in and I got in and [keyboardist] Dizzy Reed and that's it, seven of us. It'll be a great night."

After neighbors called the cops on him, a Chaska, Minnesota man was given a ticket for cursing at his cat. WCCO reported on Thursday the unidentified man -- who had prior disorderly conduct complaints against him -- admitted to cops he was indeed giving his cat a tongue lashing. His excuse was that "he's human." Officers handed him a new citation for disorderly conduct.

Likely using up most of its nine lives, a white cat named Sugar survived a 19-story fall from a high-rise apartment window in Boston. The Animal Rescue League estimates Sugar plummeted between 150 and 200 feet, according to WBZ. A vet says Sugar was saved serious injury by assuming the "flying squirrel position" -- splaying its body out so it acted like a parachute. The kitty suffered bruised lungs, but no broken bones. Cat owner Brittany Kirk is calling Sugar's feat "a miracle."

Have you ever wished to combine the coolness of body art with the coolness of cellphones? Probably not, but cellular company Nokia did. According to Australia's Herald Sun, the company has patented the technology that would allow wearers to feel vibrating alerts from their phones on their skin through tattoo ink made up of magnetic compounds.

According to the patent, "The perceivable stimulus may comprise vibration, a vibration on the image on a user's skin, for example."

It's unknown why this quantum leap is being undertaken over the usual method of feeling the vibration from your phone in your pocket, but out of the box thinking like this could help explain why Nokia lost a reported $1.4 billion in the third quarter of 2011.

The BBC reports Max Kay, 37, from Liverpool, admitted he started the fire after an argument with the venue's managers when they wouldn't open a bar tab for him -- because he owed them a balance of more than $17 thousand dollars for his wedding. It took more than 100 firefighters to tackle the blaze at the Peckforton Castle Hotel in Tarporley. Although nearly 120 men, women, and children were forced to evacuate, no one was hurt -- but the fire caused more than $7 million dollars in damage.

Crazy Collaboartion

New details have been released about Marilyn Manson’s eighth studio album, Born Villain. Manson has revealed that he recorded a cover of Carly Simon's 1972 hit “You're So Vain” with actor/rocker Johnny Depp for the upcoming album.

“[Depp] played drums and lead guitar, and I played guitar and sang,” Manson told MTV News. “It’s a bonus track on my record and the video will probably be us looking at each other like a mirror.”

Manson added that the song also features another member of the Depp family. “Johnny’s son Jack -- whose birthday I’m gonna be performing at -- was in the room and he actually played on the song too. It’s pretty cool.”

The collaboration comes as no surprise since the two have been friends for years. “I met Johnny when I was 19 when I was an extra on 21 Jump Street,” said Manson. “I bought his daughter her first pair of high heels when she was wearing diapers, so we’ve been friends for a long time.”

A male inmate in a maximum security unit at Maine's Cumberland County jail managed to squeeze out of his cell and crawl to a female detention unit for a scheduled tryst. The male, 23, a violent felon andfemale, 25, described as a Portland transient and assault suspect, managed to communicate to each other via the ventilation system, and set up the rendezvous. The man was caught crawling back to his cell. Prison officials say he made his bed up to appear he was sleeping during his "date." Jail officials blame proximity of the male and female units and "some lack of attention to detail" on the guards' part for the successful "date." Both inmates were moved to new locations; the male even earned a spot in the jail's "supermax" unit for his escape.

"Men need a few days of recovery after a vasectomy, so what could be better than hanging out on the couch, watching some hoops and chowing down a free pizza?" asked practice administrator Evan Cohen. As for the pie? "It does actually come with one topping. Maybe you can put some meatballs on it," joked Cohen.

A 15-year-old girl from Rogers, Arkansas thought it'd be funny to send a snarky text -- but she sure sent it to the wrong person. 40/29 News reported on Wednesday that the unidentified girl mimicked a message she saw on the social media site Pinterest which read, "When I'm bored, I send a text to a random number saying "I hid the body... now what?" She dialed, but the random number landed her in hot water. Out of 500,000-plus phone numbers in her 479 area code, she accidentally texted the message to a police detective. Cops traced the number and found the sender, who told them it was a joke. They let the prankster go with a warning.

Slash lends a hand

Slash is set to participate in a partial Guns N' Roses reunion of sorts on Thursday night by lending his talents to founding GN'R drummer Steven Adler's upcoming album. In a Twitter message posted Wednesday, the riff master wrote, "Looking forward to laying down some guitars on a song for Steven Adler's new record tomorrow night."

In 2010, Slash tapped Adler to play drums on a track for his self-titled debut solo effort. The song, "Baby Can't Drive," which also featured Alice Cooper, Red Hot Chili Peppers bass player Flea and ex-Pussycat Dolls singer Nicole Scherzinger, appeared on an expanded version of Slash that UK magazine Classic Rock put out.

Meanwhile, Slash posted another tweet on Wednesday revealing that he would be starting rehearsals on Thursday for his tour in support of his upcoming solo album, Apocalyptic Love, which will be released on May 22.

"Sharpening my tools as I write this," Slash wrote. "Preparing for battle, so to speak."

Slash's upcoming tour itinerary kicks off with a March 23 concert in Toronto. Check out all of his shows at SlashOnline.com.

Titled FOR YOUR SAKE: Inside the Making of Shinedown’s Amaryllis, the ebook will feature previously unreleased photos of the band as well as video interviews and commentary from frontman Brent Smith.

What the Hell Theater

A would-be ID thief got nabbed when he tried to use the wrong credit card to pay for gas on Tuesday. ABC affiliate WHTM reports the clerk not only recognized 19-year-old Joshua Devonshire from school, but also her mom's name on the stolen card. The employee called the cops as Devonshire allegedly fled the store and drove away. Cops found him later sleeping in a car with an unidentified female. He reportedly admitted to trying to pass off the card and to related thefts from nearby vehicles, including from a car belonging to the clerk's mom's. Devonshire was sent to Lancaster County Prison pending $3,000 bond.

A Staten Island, New York man's morning routine was interrupted Tuesday when he spotted a four foot-long California Kingsnake watching him from his toilet. Allen Shepard was brushing his teeth when he saw the reptile, and according to SILive.com, he grabbed a bottle of Clorox cleaner and sprayed the snake. Not surprisingly, that didn't calm the snapping snake, so Shephard called his building's superintendent -- who didn't believe him at first, but who called a plumber. It took the plumber 30 minutes to pull the entire snake from the drain. It's thought the non-poisonous snake got into the plumbing from another apartment in the building, but no neighbors owned up to owning it, so was taken to a reptile sanctuary.

Orion Music + MORE!

New details have surfaced about Metallica’s new annual music, arts and lifestyle festival called Orion Music + More. In a recent online video interview, frontman James Hetfield revealed that there will be a custom car and motorcycle show that will take place during the festival.

“For a Metallica fan…maybe they wouldn’t normally go to a car show and see really what goes on there,” said Hetfield. “It would be great to get a little of everything, from muscle cars to traditional stock things to full-blown crazy customs to dragsters to things spitting flames…to beautiful long elegant pieces of art representing hopefully everything, so everyone can get a taste of the automobile passion and obsession that I seem to have.”

More than 300 customs, hot rods, muscle cars and custom motorcycles will be on display at the Orion Custom Car + Motorcycle Show inside the festival grounds throughout the weekend, including Hetfield’s 1936 Auburn Roadster Slow Burn Kustom. Awards will be given for Best in Show in the customs, hot rods, muscle cars, and custom motorcycles categories. In addition, Orion ticketholders will have the chance to cast their votes for the award for Fan Favorite.

The inaugural Orion Music + More festival will make its debut June 23-24 at Bader Field in Atlantic City, NJ. For more details, head over to OrionMusicAndMore.com.

What the Hell Theater

A cash-strapped California little league team had been given a chance to play on, thanks in large part to a donation from a strip club, but the league now says their well-heeled high-heeled donors can keep their endowment. According to KTLA, the generosity of the dancers at the Jet Strip was refused by Little League President Roberto Aguirre. "We do not want the money from the strip club. I think, for us, we do need the money, but we will go some other avenue," Aguirre said. So the cash-strapped league will look elsewhere to combat skyrocketing school district baseball diamond fees, and the strip club's income will remain in crumpled dollar bills.

A Swedish man was already in trouble, accused of stealing gasoline using his car's specially-modified gas tank, when he allegedly stole a cop car, then another ride, and used that one to rescue his vehicle from the impound lot. The Local reports two men were detained by cops on suspicion of swiping diesel on Sunday, and when one suspect was being frisked, his accomplice jumped from the back of the squad car into the driver's seat of the officer's still-running cruiser and sped off. Police monitored the GPS-enabled vehicle, but lost track of it when the suspect apparently stole another vehicle, and used it to break his gas guzzler from the lot where cops impounded it. He was later captured at his mother's house, where he reportedly resisted arrest. Both men are thought to be linked to other gas thefts, according to local paper Bohusläningen.

If you've already got an arrest record for theft and you're dumb enough to steal from a judge, don't post what you stole onto Facebook. That's the life lesson learned by 21-year-old Steven Mulhall, who popped a picture of himself holding a nameplate reading "Judge Michael J. Orlando" -- which Mulhall is accused of prying from the door of the judge's office at Broward Circuit courthouse on February 23rd. "The nameplate is like only $40, not that big of a crime, but what an idiot. He puts it on Facebook," said Broward County Sheriff Al Lamberti to the Sun Sentinel. "He violated the terms of his parole by stealing, from a judge no less. He's got multiple convictions for petty theft, so now this is a felony." A Crime Stoppers tip led the cops to Mulhall.

When Miami-area 7th grader Michael Bell Jr. brought home a bad report card, it was the last straw for his parents. His father gave him a sandwich board reading on the front: "Hey, I want to be a class clown, is it wrong?" and "I'm in the 7th grade and got 3 F's. Blow your horn if there's something wrong with that." Michael Bell Sr. then made the teen stand by the side of a busy roadway to advertise his academic shortcomings while his friends are living it up on spring break. Bell the younger failed three subjects and has gotten in trouble repeatedly this past semester, leaving his parents little recourse, they say. "Right now, this is the only thing I have left to try and reach him," his father tells WSVN-TV. The son seems to be learning his lesson: "I'm sorry that it has to get to this point and that when I get back to school, I'm going to do better," he promised WSVN.

Pearl Jam guitarist Stone Gossard is a busy guy. He’s been balancing his time between working on a new Pearl Jam album and making music with his side project, Brad, which is set to release United We Stand on April 24.

In a recent interview with Rolling Stone, Gossard gave fans an update on Pearl Jam’s progress creating their tenth studio album. “We've recorded some songs, and we're going to record and write some more,” revealed Gossard. “You never know, it might be that we're a song away or two, or it might be that we're going to record six or seven more songs. I think the main thing is that we’re not in a rush and there's no urgency to it.”

Gossard added that the forthcoming album will explore new creative avenues. “The most important thing is that we put something out that continues to expand our boundaries rather than trying to follow what we've done in the past,” noted Gossard. “I think it's a good time to hopefully continue to experiment, and continue to shake it up.”

No Reunion for Roses at R&RHoF

Ever since it was announced that Guns N’ Roses will be inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, fans have been wondering if band members would put aside their differences and perform at the event. In a recent interview with Rolling Stone, former GN’R bassist Duff McKagan said that the band hasn’t yet discussed the possibility of playing together during the ceremony.

“There's been no communication about anyone playing,” said McKagan. “There was probably a day in the mid-1990s where I would have tried to gather the troops, but I'm just not that guy anymore. It's too frustrating to change anyone else…I'm not even sure I'd want to change how anyone else sees a situation.”

McKagan added that he has an idea of the songs he’d like to play if the band were to perform at the event. “You have those daydreams like, ‘We'll go up and play 'Nightrain' and 'Brownstone' and throw down the microphone and drop off,” noted McKagan. “That'll be killer!' But I doubt that'll happen.”

We’ll have to wait to see what happens at the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame induction ceremony when it takes place on April 14 in Cleveland.

No Rage for Rush

Following in the footsteps of Rush and Peter Gabriel, guitarist Tom Morello has demanded that Rage Against the Machine’s music be pulled from Rush Limbaugh's talk-radio program.

"Rush Limbaugh played 'Sleep Now in the Fire' as a bumper on his show [on Thursday]," Morello told Rolling Stone. "Our response: 'Hey Jackass, stop using our music on your racist, misogynist, right-wing clown show." Morello also tweeted his response to his Twitter followers.

Limbaugh has received widespread criticism, and his show has lost numerous sponsors, since he made derogatory comments about Georgetown law student Sandra Fluke last month. The conservative host referred to Fluke as a "slut" and a "prostitute" after she testified before Congress, calling for health care plans to cover the cost of contraceptives. Limbaugh has since apologized for his comments.

A not-so-master criminal held up a convenience store in Key Largo Florida, and made off with a grand total of $2 for his felonious efforts. The website KeysNews.com reports the suspect, who disguised himself with a bandanna, gloves, a hat, and sunglasses walked into a Tom Thumb store, where a clerk told him he had to take the scarf off his face. The suspect responded by displaying a firearm, and demanded cash from the register. When the clerk told him there was no money inside, the robber turned to a patron and robbed him of $2 before fleeing the store and running to a dark-colored Saturn parked a block away.

Two Kansas guys apparently arranging a drug deal were quickly busted when one of them accidentally called 911 in the middle of their negotiations last Thursday night.

"You could hear on the phone call the suspect saying, 'Oh, there goes the cops,'" said Leavenworth police Chief Patrick Kitchens. "So that brought the officers' attention to the two gentlemen." A search of the two suspects reportedly turned up $2,500 in cash and six grams of crack. The butterfingered bad guys were arrested and slapped with five charges apiece.

SILENT HOUSE

Horror Flick with the little sister of the Olsen Twins. They might sue me for calling them that... meh. Anyway, she's supposedly artsy-fartsy which means showing her ta-tas all over the unheard of film scene. This one is a major motion picture, can't promise any full frontals or even side boob but redeeming fact is that it is supposed to be shot "in real time".

While Durst previously stated that the song would be released sometime this week, he admitted that the track still needs some work. "I want to get it out there soon, as soon as we can," explained Durst. "The song is already done for the most part. I've got a couple little things I might poke around or punch in on my verse. And I want their guys to take a crack at the mix."

The singer also revealed that once “Ready to Go” is finished, it will be probably be available for free download. "We want to let everybody know this is just an introduction, just a taste of what throwing these two dudes together for five minutes can do," said Durst. "Now that we're living together, now that we're married, we'll see what happens when we start doing more. I'm very excited."

In addition to releasing the track online, Durst noted that his next priority is to make a video for it as quickly as possible.

Cupcake ATM

Sprinkles Cupcakes, the Beverly Hills-based establishment that bills itself "The Original Cupcake Bakery," has just launched a new salvo in the war for sweets supremacy. Sprinkles has created the world's first cupcake ATM: a machine designed to dispense the company's treats 24 hours a day.

The machine is stocked every evening with hundreds of freshly baked cupcakes, and a mechanical arm is used to dispense them, boxed, to the customer, who chooses which type of cupcake and pays via a touch-screen interface. Bakery founder and owner Candace Nelson says the concept was born when she could not satisfy her own late-night cravings when she was pregnant.

The same type of machine will be installed at Sprinkles' New York City location this summer, Nelson says.

She was traveling to meet her boyfriend in Texas, so -- after asking permission from those around her -- she says she decided to paint her nails mid-flight. With two nails to go, a flight attendant told her to stop. Daniels complied, but told KCAL-TV she ducked into the rest room to finish up -- and was met by a second irate flight attendant, who continued to admonish her as she took her seat. Eventually, Daniels cursed, "because [the flight attendant] wouldn’t end the conversation.” Because Daniels cursed, she was taken into custody by armed officers at the gate after she landed in Texas. After more than 10 hours behind bars, a judge agreed to toss out an "abusive profane language" charge against her.

An "environmental enforcement officer" stopped the elderly woman, who understandably didn't notice the errant fiber, and she says the "rude" agent slapped her with the fine. "It was a strand of cotton, not a cigarette butt. I can’t believe they would fine a pensioner for dropping something like that," Mrs. George said. After a review, a local council admitted Monday that an infraction was indeed committed, but the fine will be waived.

If you're going to drink, don't drive. And if you're going to drink and drive, don't try to high-five a cop. That's the lesson learned by a Pennsylvania motorist on February 19th, according to the Altoona Mirror. When Gerald C. Decker, 27, was pulled over by a Pennsylvania cop for driving without his headlights on, he wanted to show his gratitude with a "thanks, buddy" by slapping the lawman some skin. But the officer noticed Decker was apparently inebriated, so he left him hanging. "That's not how it works," the cop said. Decker reportedly failed field sobriety tests, and was arrested -- and later charged with DUI when he flunked a blood test. He was also charged with driving on a suspended license, careless driving, and, yes, driving without headlights.
