In a world where emergency services are accustomed to tackling human-made chaos, sometimes it's the animal kingdom that throws the wildest curveballs.

On Monday, an A-list actor was seen scaling the Hollywood sign in Los Angeles, California. As he shot an Olympic-themed commercial, the action star was seen hosting himself up the iconic landmark. A film crew was close by on the ground, while flying drones caught every moment of the actor's ascension.

As cast and crew members enjoyed a night out in the tiny town, Tom Cruise, 61, was photographed with the chef and boss of Lovage Restaurant in Derbyshire. The restaurant posted the picture on their Facebook page, and Benji Dunn, a British actor who plays technician Benji Dunn in the franchise, posted a portrait with cast and crew members, including Hayley Atwell outside the venue. On a day off filming for Mission Impossible: Dead Reckoning Part Two, the British-American Atwell, 41, who plays Grace, also went to Bamford Edge to marvel the spectacular view on a day off. Last week, Tom was photographed with his hair growing out while filming a car chase scene in Middleton Mine, which is also located in Derbyshire.

In a Hot Fuzz-style operation, an escaped sheep sat in the back of a police car after being herded out the road by officers. As he was put into the patrol car outside Huntingdon, Cambridgeshire, yesterday, the deer was left a little'sheepish.' The incident was reminiscent of Simon Pegg's 2007 comedies, which featured a scene in which cops attempt to round up a swan. After the sheep was spotted on the side of the A1 at Buckden, officers were called out. Concerned drivers called the police afraid that the farm animal would cause an accident.

Damien Egan, a Youtube video of Damien Egan, says the 'family run' stores and restaurants had such a'bad year' because of lockouts that kept customers away and need people's help to keep going. The mayor, who was in his late 30s, spoke in a tone that would be familiar to the thousands of people in the area - not a Cockney but recognizable as coming from the city. Which is why a campaign video he released this week shocked many people by surprise when he spoke with a broad Westcountry accent. Mr Egan is running for Labour in Kingswood, where he grew up and fully deployed the locals' long vowels in South Gloucestershire, even though he was sent to London for work.

The list includes Notting Hill, The Holiday, Batman, This Is England, Bridget Jones' Diary, and Shaun of the Dead.

The double-breaded belted coat, which is available in a black, grey, and white check pattern, has rolled up sleeves to display a pretty, delicate bracelet on her hand.

After a female fan tried to coerce him into breaching laws concerning Hollywood actors, a potty-mouthed Simon Pegg left a audience stunned at the London Literary Festival.

Olivia Grace, 50, (inset) from London, was one of those booked on the non-existent evacuation flight promised by the UK government. The diamond specialist, who has spent more than £5,000 on business airline tickets in her effort to return home, has said she was 'absent from my own country.' Despite paying £300 per seat and being escorted to Ben Gurion airport last night for a mercy flight home to London last night, about 180 people were still trapped in a world preparing for war. Many families with young children and people in wheelchairs were among those who were reportedly abandoned by consular authorities amid tumultuous scenes. They were told not food or water and to leave the airport and find their own accommodation by the UK crisis team, who had apparently been left in the dark by Whitehall. In addition, travelers arriving at Luton Airport (right) today have described the challenge in getting flights from the country to the United Kingdom.

Since his open-topped three-wheel 130mph Morgan Super 3 vehicle, which had no air bags, flipped over on December 13 last year, leaving him with serious facial injuries and broken ribs, the former England cricket captain was 'lucky to be alive.' With the BBC later giving him an apology, the Ashes hero had to wait for an air ambulance for an 'agonizing' 45 minutes.

The Screen Actors Guild's American Federation of Television and Radio Artists has put the UK's burgeoning film industry on hold, with thousands of workers out of work. Screenwriters in the Writers Guild of America are entering their 19th week of conflict, calling for increased pay, training requirements, and protection against artificial intelligence interference in their jobs. According to industry reports, ten major film projects have been postponed in the United Kingdom, with seven more TV series on hold, a major blow in an industry where many employees are freelancers. Sandman is said to be one of the UK shows affecting the country, while Succession writer Jesse Armstrong is among Britons to have expressed support for the strikes.
