It's not just murder victims and government officials who have been hacked by Rupert Murdoch's minions. A once-pseudonymous sex writer claims a writer for the Murdoch-owned Sunday Times installed a trojan on her computer in an effort to out her.

An American media exec snuck into News of the World's offices shortly before the scandal-plagued magazine printed its final issue. Her friend was considering using the location for filming commercials, so they photographed it extensively. She posted the photos on the Web today, and gave us permission to republish them.

As revelations emerge at a rate of about one per second in the News of the World hacking scandal, Rupert Murdoch is flying in to London to attempt damage control, according to the Financial Times.

Here's a brief teaser trailer for the upcoming Margaret Thatcher biopic The Iron Lady, featuring a bewigged and betoothed Meryl Streep as the loved/reviled former British Prime Minister. It seems like she's got the voice down! Now let's just see if she can use her wizardry make the bigoted, union busting Pinochet pal sympathetic.

An old man named Andrew Castle was sentenced to 10 years in jail for admitting he tried to kill his wife with a homemade electric chair after she asked for a divorce. From the Guardian:

As of July 30, Britons will have the chance to win a baby through a scheme by the in vitro fertilization charity To Hatch, after the group was awarded a license from the country's Gambling Commission to sell £20 lottery tickets with fertility treatments, donor eggs or a surrogate birth as a prize, according to the Telegraph.

A seriously disturbed bridegroom, upset over the tab for his wedding at Peckforton Castle in Britain, allegedly took matters into his own hands over the weekend by lighting the place on fire after everyone had gone to sleep. The Daily Mail reports that over 100 firefighters responded to the blaze that started at around 4:45 am. Some 70 wedding guests were sleeping at the time and a man, presumably the bridegroom, was arrested.

The British Ministry of Defence is worried about oversharing military personnel and their oversharing families, so they've created a few videos that should really make everyone think twice about careless tweets and Facebook status updates. In the video above, after checking in on Foursquare (which should be a crime in itself), the young sailors are seen dancing with scary terrorists who were tipped off to their location in a nightclub by stalking their profiles. So now they're all up in our Twitter, Facebook, Foursquare and probably even Myspace. That means no more tweets like, "I just disabled all security measures at ______ nuclear plant! LOL!" Ok?

The director of schlocky torture porn film The Human Centipede, Tom Six, got a nice promotional boost for his follow up, The Human Centipede II, after the British Board of Film Classification refused to rate the film this week, effectively banning it in Britain. What happens in the sequel that offended the BBFC so much? It gets pretty meta, as the Guardian describes it — and it's gross:

16-year-old Santre Sanchez Gayle, "Britain's youngest contract killer," has raised the bar for awful teenagers. He was sentenced to 20 years in jail today after he killed someone's mother for £200 (when he was 15).

Penny Johnson was awarded about $9.7 million by a British judge today for a facelift that left her disfigured and causes her constant pain, twitching, and emotional distress. Plastic surgery is a very dangerous business!

We've only seen the first "Meet the Cast" teaser of Geordie Shore the MTV UK version of Jersey Shore and already we're disappointed. Just like you can't make soccer happen in the U.S., you can't make guidos happen in the U.K.

Drawing Hitler moustaches on subway movie posters, yearbook pictures and images of Barack Obama is a time honored tradition in America. But in Britain, drawing one on a Conservative politician's campaign poster can turn a tiny, quiet hamlet into a police state. At least that's what happened to Pitcombe, Somerset, after one appeared on a likeness of Conservative councillor Mike Beech in the village and he called police to cry about it.

This story, of No. 10 Downing Street's cat, Larry, is the most exciting political news to come out of Britain in ages. According to prime minister David Cameron's spokesman, Larry possesses a "very strong predatory drive and high chase-drive and hunting instinct":

On yesterday's Report, Stephen Colbert aired the first "My Fair Colbert: Stephen Colbert's Crown Jewels" segment, during which he ruined an afternoon tea session with royal biographer Hugo Vickers. Tonight, Colbert ruined a run-through of the proper etiquette for meeting the queen.

On tonight's Report, Stephen Colbert debuted a new series—"My Fair Colbert: Stephen Colbert's Crown Jewels"—in which he attempted to become more British ahead of the royal wedding. Up first: Colbert had high afternoon tea with British royal biographer Hugo Vickers—and by "had," I mean "ruined."

A three-year-old is being treated for alcoholism after exhibiting withdrawal symptoms, and the authorities claim the child has been consuming booze regularly for a period of time. We're not quite sure how, but Four Loko must be to blame. [Telegraph]

The Queen Mother's private record collection has been released! (You were, no doubt, awaiting this moment with bated breath.) She was, unsurprisingly, a big fan of musicals (The King and I and Oklahoma!), as well as, apparently, ska:

The British government is spending nearly $80 million to track 40,000 households over the next 20 years to "Understand Society," as the study is called. The first published findings give us a breakdown of how to be the perfect couple.

Gay British radio host Scott Mills visited a Ugandan witch doctor for a television special called The World's Worst Place to Be Gay. The doctor's cure consisted of stripping Mills to the waist, beating him with a live chicken, placing a torch over his head, and then pouring water over it. Congrats, he's no longer gay!
