Atari Music
In 1982, the record label Kid Stuff started putting out records based on the most popular video games.

Each included an incredibly catchy theme song followed by a usually rather nonsensical adventure story.

LOST WINONA
WINONA Ryder is just as loopy as she's always been. The pixiesh actress, who's been palling around with her new best friend Kate Moss lately, wandered into the SoHo shop Lounge on Sunday looking "very spooked out," an eyewitness said. "She entered through the back door and seemed lost and confused, and after looking through the entire store approached a sales rep." Ryder then shrieked, "Where am I?" before "wandering back out on the street. It was so weird." A rep for the star, who was once busted for shoplifting in Beverly Hills

Beware the killer teddy bear
A stuffed Paddington Bear turned killer this month at a Fish and Game hatchery in Milford. The bear was dropped into a circular pool by a "person or persons unknown" and clogged the flow of water, killing 2,500 rainbow trout, according to a statement from hatchery supervisor Robert Fawcett."RELEASE OF ANY TEDDY BEARS into the fish hatchery water IS NOT PERMITTED,"Fawcett said in a written statement. He urged anyone who drops a teddy bear in the water to find a fish culturist to remove it. "They might save your teddy bear, and keep it from becoming a killer," he said.
