Overnight Briefing & General Reality Check - May 26, 2017

Idiots or Insane:

The fine ladies at the Moonlite Bunny Ranch in beautiful Carson City, Nevada got a rude awakening yesterday morning when a semi slammed through the front gate. It probably wasn't a chance accident --owner DENNIS HOF tells TMZ the driver was decked out in full body armor, a mask and helmet. Luckily, Lyon County's finest were on the case, they've got the guy in custody and speculate he'd a disgruntled trucking employee.
The good customers of the joint will receive free drinks for dealing with the big hole in front. (Lee)

TV Briefs:

Turner Classic Movies (TCM) will be running four days of war movies to mark Memorial Day. Included are the classic "Dirty Dozen" along with some oldie-but-goodies like JOHN WAYNE in "Wings of Eagles," ANDY GRIFFITH in "No Time For Sergeants,""12 O'clock High" with GREGORY PECK and GLENN FORD in "Torpedo Run."

Stars and their movies:

MICHAEL JACKSON's daughter, PARIS JACKSON, says she was mistaken for a homeless person on the set of her new movie. Paris tweeted that she'd arrived at the set yesterday and was sitting outside of her makeup trailer when a production staffer had tried to shoo her away: "One of the first people on set, sitting in the parking lot and this dude comes up to me and says homeless people aren't allowed in this area," she wrote.

Grace notes from Vinny Marino:

RON WOOD neededlung surgery this week. The ROLLING STONES guitarist posted on his Facebook page that he had a small lesion removed which doctors discovered during a checkup. Ronnie says he's fine and this won't delay the Rolling Stones upcoming European tour. He said (quote), "I'm so grateful for modern screening which picked this up so early, and would like to thank all the doctors who treated me." (Marino)

FYI:

We will *not* be publishing the Ross Brittain Report on Memorial Day. Have a great Memorial Day holiday!
