SHRIDER IN THE HOUSE

You've got to feel sorry for Vern Troyer, the tiny actor who played 'Mini-Me' in the 'Austin Powers' films. Not only has his ex-girlfriend leaked a tape of the pair having some intimate moments (stopping just short of showing Vern's 'Maxi-Me') but now he has given an interview about how he feels betrayed, saddened and utterly helpless as Ranae Shrider is still living is his house and refusing to move out.

It's not like he can physically throw her out either. She's more likely to throw him into a cupboard until he begs to be released. Vern expressed his teary-eyed frustration in an interview with E! News.

"She's still in the house… it makes it even harder, to, you know, not strangle her."

Maybe make use of a step-ladder? Shrider certainly seems to be taking the piss after dating the small man with a big broken heart for six months, leaking the tape and now taunting him over breakfast.

"I saw her when I left today, and she was calling me names and stuff... so I can't get away from it."

Vern says that the stress is causing him to lose jobs and haemorrhage money, so one consolation is that Ranae is unlikely to be hanging around for much younger after killing the mini-Golden Gooser.
