ernest hemingway six toed cat key west
The six-toed kitteh in this AP photo is one of the few remaining felines who roams Ernest Hemmingway's former home in Key West. Here's the kicker: His name is "Hairy Truman." *groan*

Marvin paced the table as he plotted his escape. He did not want to be the next animal on the wall.

Heather Locklear's mug shot for a recent DUI arrest may not be the worst in of all celebrity mug shots, but she doesn't look as put together as she usually does. (AP photo)

This was the look of Heather Locklear's face the day after she finding out Pamela Anderson was seen with her new boyfriend "The Plastic Man". I cried all night just thinking about it, I gave him the best minutes of his life, she was over heard saying...

japan adult diaper fashion show

 

Believe it or not, the people in this AP photo are modeling adult diapers in Japan. Guess they didn't make the casting cut for one of their crazy game shows.

Incontinent hostesses at this restaurant make a spectacle of calling your order number.

model milan fashon week agatha ruiz de la prada

 

We at Caption Call can appreciate creativity, but when creativity infringes on whether a piece of clothing is wearable, we can put it up for some good old fashioned fun poking. The look in this Getty Images photo is from Spanish  designer Agatha Ruiz De La Prada's show during Milan fashion week.

This week's fashion challenge: Create an outfit based on the valentine's day card you made in first grade.

It might not be lipstick on a pit bull ...

pamela anderson pam anderson fashion show vivienne westwood plastic date

 

We had to do a double take when we saw this AP photo of Pamela Anderson. She took this "date" to the Vivienne Westwood show at London's Fashion Week. Think this guy has more personality than Tommy Lee?

The McCain-Palin supporter in this Getty Images photo sports a set of wax lips in response to comments in the presidentail campaign about putting lipstick on various animals. Not sure if lipstick looks sillier on a pig, pitbull or this woman.

oktoberfest woman with many beers

 

We know it's just the scale of this Getty Images photo that makes this beer wench look like she's got gigantic man hands, but it's still a funny photo.

If you think it's Lowenbrau to balance 8 beers on her boobs without Frothingslosh, you should see what Heidi's Heineken do.

Michael Phelps is still riding high on a publicity wave from his Olympic glory, which includes a parade this weekend in Towson. But his expression in this AP photo makes us think he may just want to take a break.
