A wee little way to try to get famous

 
 

There are hundreds of ways to get your name in the paper: appear on reality TV, get knocked up by a reality star, film yourself while getting knocked up by a reality star ... the list is endless. But here’s a new one: A model named Yvette Monet has put a restraining order on ex-boyfriend Verne Troyer, according to RadarOnline. Troyer, who appeared as Mini-Me in the “Austin Powers” films, is two-feet, eight-inches tall, one of the shortest men alive. Although we’re not ones to make light of abuse, if you claim to be afraid of someone who bare-ly comes up to your knee, you might be hunting for attention. What’s he going to do? Launch himself from a cannon to your face?
