MOSCOW, February 17 (RIA Novosti) - A bizarre best-mistress competition held by a local tycoon in eastern China ended with one of the women driving him and her four rivals off a cliff, the Shanghai Daily said on Tuesday.

The woman was killed, while her four rivals and the businessman were injured in the incident, which took place in the Shandong Province on December 6.

The details behind the crash came to light after the parents of the 29-year-old dead woman, only identified as Yu, handed over to police a letter that she had written.

In her letter she said had been one of five mistresses kept by a married Chinese businessman, identified only by his surname, Fan, since 2000. All the five knew about each other, but chose not to break up the relationship as they received a monthly allowance of 5,000 yuan ($733) and a rent-free apartment.

"The businessman was going to lay off four of his five mistresses due to financial troubles," the paper said. "The women were allowed to vie for the remaining position by competing on their looks, their singing and speaking and their ability to drink alcohol."

The man decided to organize a closed pageant to select the best of the five and even invited an instructor from a modeling agency to help him with his choice. Yu was knocked out of the first round of the competition.

"When Fan told Yu she had lost her position and he was selling her apartment, she decided to take revenge," the newspaper said.

She invited the businessman and the four other mistresses on a mountain trip and drove the car off a cliff, killing herself.

As a result of the scandal, the tycoon's wife demanded a divorce after learning about his affairs, while the four mistresses left him after he shut down his business. He also had to pay 580,000 yuan ($85,000) compensation to the parents of the dead woman.

haha And this guy too.

Apprehended by a wedgie from a woman!!! hahaha

A man who was allegedly caught stealing an iPod and a debit card out of a car is captured and tackled by a woman 50 pounds lighter than him. The woman we are told used a wedgie to nab the burglar.

It happened Tuesday. Yvonne Morris was working in her office at the Brickyard Animal Hospital, when she noticed a young man walking past her office. A few minutes later she heard a car alarm going off. "So I looked into the parking lot to see where the honking was coming from," said Morris. She said she saw a man riffling through the car of one of her co-workers. "The person I saw in her front seat was not her," said Morris who immediately headed out to the parking lot, stopping along the way to tell the receptionist to call police.

"He came out of the building got, in front of the car and yelled 'Hey!'" Then Morris said he told the man, Frederic Baze, 21, that he was busted and the police were on the way. That's when Baze took off. "He moseyed up the hill and took off around the corner and I just followed him," said Morris.

He ran, she chased, Baze allegedly slipped on some loose gravel then Morris grabbed his hooded sweatshirt, Baze slipped off the hoodie and kept on running.

"I grabbed the back of his pants which in turn ended up to be his under garments," said Morris. So Baze, according to police, was snagged by a snuggie.

Morris admits it maybe was not the best idea in retrospect, "In hindsight, yeah there is probably a lot of things that could have gone wrong but thankfully they didn't."

For Morris she says it was a matter of principal. "It's very personal when somebody does that to your possessions and I thought if there is someway to stop him, then I want to help," said Morris.

As for Baze he faces burglary and possession of stolen property charges.
