Now in totally creepy news that makes me glad not to live in the small U.K. town of Northampton, there’s a loitering clown that likes to stand on street corners and stare at random passersby. The unidentified bozo first appeared on Friday the 13th and looks like he just walked off the set of Stephen King’s It.

The strange stranger has appeared in several areas of town, always with the same red wig, white face makeup, all-in-one jumpsuit, and oversized bowtie. Occasionally he carries a clown teddy. 

He doesn’t do any of the fun clown things like ride a tiny bicycle or juggle or make balloon sculptures. He just ... stares. One woman reported that he knocked on her door and offered to paint her windowsills, even though he had no paint or brushes. She reported the suspicious behavior to the police.

Although he first appeared less than a week ago, the Northampton Clown has over 77,000 ‘likes’ on his Facebook page, where he tries to dispel the rumors that he’s carrying a knife.

Word to the wise: If you have to dispel rumors that you’re a knife wielding maniac because of how you’re dressed ... you might want to change clothes.

Ok, so it’s probably not illegal to look like a sociopath about to go on a murdering rampage while laughing maniacally in a scary clown costume, but what kind of person gets off on making people uncomfortable at best, and frightening them at worst?

Heck, a random guy standing on street corners staring at people is creepy enough. Put him in a clown suit? Unbearable.

Are you creeped out by the Northampton Clown, or is it all in good fun?

Harry Styles and New Girlfriend Cara Delevingne Are One Creepy Looking Couple (PHOTO)

There's been major scuttlebutt happening about Harry Styles's love life going on in my house. Also, presumably, in less creepier portions of the world. The word is out that he's over Taylor Swift (and rightly so, he needs a woman of experience *cough* call me *cough*). He's got a new lady all up in his business!

The little miss in question is model (of course) Cara Delevingne. In addition to being professionally "really, really good-looking," Cara is a trouble-making party-girl. Just like Harry! Except minus the whole being-a-dude part.

While Harry hasn't made any public statement about their status as a couple, he has taken a couple of photos posing with her. This could indicate that they are inching toward going public. That said, the dude is wearing a mask. That hardly screams "READY TO COMMIT." I kind of hope they aren't dating. Because this one photo of Cara has me wondering if anyone has noticed one big, weird thing ...

That Cara and Harry could basically be twins. I'm not kidding! Look at her face! The eyes! The goofy-pretty mug! The brows! The all-of-it! I am not going to venture so far as to say that Cara and Harry might actually be the same person but ... stranger things have happened.

If nothing else it's a testimony to Harry's ego. I mean, nothing says "full of yourself" like dating your own reflection only with better hair. I know RuPaul's always saying that you've got to love yourself before you can love somebody else, but this is just weird.

Do you think Cara and Harry look alike?

Taylor Swift 'Biggest Fan' Contest Cancelled When 'Creepy' 39-Year-Old Man Wins

Taylor Swift has fans of all ages, from the tiniest of tots (I took my 4-year-old daughter to her concert) to moms like me. But when a 39-year-old man won her recent "Biggest Fan" contest in what appears to be a big online prank, organizers said no way was he getting the grand prize -- a chance to meet her -- and the whole thing was cancelled.

No, it's not because she's an ageist (remember she did date John Mayer who's 35), but because the 39-year-old winner sounds like a big fat loser. The contest was run by Boston radio station KISS FM. Fans were asked to enter to win, and then online voting would determine the winner. Sounds fair, but "Charles" (the 39-year-old winner) didn't play fair.

Instead he and others made a mockery of the whole contest, posting on various websites with a mean scheme to boost him to number one. For example on 4chan, users were asked to vote for the "fat old guy creep" to "crush the dreams of these girls and give him a chance to make a complete ass of himself by blatantly just sniffing her hair with cameras rolling."

Because there are so many vile and cruel people in the world with nothing better to do, users voted Charles to the top. But Charles will not be meeting Taylor. Nor will any of her other fans in that contest. The radio station offered the following explanation:

Disappointingly, we have determined that the integrity of the "Taylor Swift's Biggest Fan" contest has been compromised. In accordance with our contest rules, effective immediately, the contest has been terminated. We apologize to all of our loyal listeners who have participated.

What a way to spoil it for everyone, Charles. And for what, a few chuckles? I don't blame the station at all for cancelling, but I do feel bad for her true fans who really would have loved this opportunity to meet Taylor.

Do you think the radio station should have cancelled the contest because of this?

Kate Middleton and Royal Baby's First Portrait Is Just Plain Creepy (PHOTO)

The royal baby and mama Kate Middleton have already been immortalized on canvas! Spanish artist Kaya Mar dropped off his rather bizarre masterpiece at St. Mary's Hospital's Lindo Wing, where the future prince or princess is expected to be born.

Ah, but I know what you're thinking. How do you paint the portrait of a baby who isn't even here yet?

For Mar, that was pretty simple. He made Kate into a breastfeeding Madonna, complete with a giant halo around her head. Either he missed the whole debacle over whether or not the Duchess will breastfeed or he didn't care. I'm leaning toward option number two. 

Mar is just trying to get attention, and, well, he succeeded with one of the strangest baby portraits I think I've ever seen. Just look at it!

Come on Moms, is this what you'd want to gaze at to remember your time with baby?

What about the baby's, ahem, face? Breastfeeding is beautiful, but that's what a photograph is for. For an official portrait, you want to see what they look like!

Of course, that's not the only problem with this particular picture of the Duchess and her munchkin. The crown on the royal baby's head makes this look less like a sweet scene between mother and baby and more clownish. And Kate's troll body would surely crumble on those stick legs.

The best part of this portrait is the dog! He's rather adorable.

Maybe Mar should stick to pet pictures from now on?

Hopefully Kate and Wills get a REAL portrait done once the baby arrives ... one they wouldn't mind hanging in Windsor Castle.

What do you think of the first royal portrait of the royal baby?
