OK so it's not strictly celebrity news but if you, like me, spent last night watching a grainy picture of a silver balloon fly across America - you need to watch this clip...

Incase you weren't watching, Falcon Heene, a 6 year old from Colorado was reported to have climbed inside a weather balloon just before it became untethered ad blew 6,000 feet in the air and travelled 60 miles at 40mph.

It was incredible TV, with every news channel cutting to the live feed. Eventually the balloon landed and as everyone squinted and got ready to look away just incase, the balloon was EMPTY.

Eventually Falcon was found hiding in a box in the attic (i.e. a complete waste of my fucking evening) at his house.

Here is the interview the whole family did for CNN - proper amazing. Talk about dropping your parents in the shit big time! Love how the dad pretends that he didn't even hear him say it. Oh, did I mention the family have appeared on two reality TV shows? No? hhhmmm....

Notice how the CNN anchor completely misses the kid blowing the lid on the whole thing? Well when they return after the break, you can tell he's just had his producer screaming at him to pay attention and press them on whether it was a stunt. The dad goes through the five stages of lying in about 30 seconds. An incredible bum-squeaking moment.

He's following in the footsteps of all the mentally-unstable dads in celebdom - Michael Lohan, Joe Jackson, Mitch Winehouse,... in other words, a well-untrustworthy cunt

The other two kids sit there like dolls, until dad happens to touch the one in the green shirt, who instinctively pushes dad's hand away and then for a brief moment it looks like dad's natural reaction would be a slap on the head of the child, but stops himself.

It's obvious the bloke has talent of some sort, give him a job in showbiz someone, if only to save the lives of his family.

Oh-oh. I saw the dad give a press conference outside their home and he looked wild. The kid said his dad had shouted at him. And the father gave him a look then burbled: "Of course I shouted at you! I thought we lost you!" Urgh. What an interesting man. Dangerous too I think. What next? I suppose he could always kill his family. That usually guarantees a bit of airtime.

What an attention seeking cunt, who can't even lie very well. An even bigger cunt for calling his son Falcon.
