The album cover for Blink 182’s Enema of the State is one of the enduring images of the late ’90s. Sorry to ruin it for you guys. She was arrested in January of 2011 for three outstanding warrants.
From Huffington: Lindemulder was famously married to Jesse James (yep, that one). The two were engaged in a bitter custody battle over their daughter, Sunny. The 2011 arrest was just one incident in a long line of legal troubles for the actress, who went to prison for tax issues and was accused (by James) of domestic abuse.

Here is an old video starring Mike Bordick of the Oakland A’s. He thinks he will be disrupting an interview with a loud blast from a trumpet, but the joke is on him. The trumpet was filled with powder with the end pointed right at his own face. Good thing it was only powder in that horn.
And some other great baseball pranks…
