PORTO CERVO, Sardinia - Pengarah filem terkenal, Steven Spielberg didenda 172 euro (RM737.47) oleh pihak berkuasa pengawal pantai Itali selepas bot laju miliknya berada terlalu dekat dengan pantai, lapor sebuah akhbar semalam.

Speilberg yang merupakan seorang bilionair didenda kerana dia mengganggu orang ramai yang bercuti di tepi pantai baru-baru ini.

Pengarah filem yang berusia 64 tahun itu membuat bising sehingga mengganggu ketenangan para pelancong di tepi pantai di La Maddalena.

Para pelancong yang berjemur di tepi pantai itu kemudian bertindak menghubungi polis dan pengawal pantai kerana bunyi bising dari bot laju Spielberg.

Pengarah filem itu didenda kerana bot lajunya itu melanggar peraturan maritim.

Ketika kejadian, Spielberg membawa seorang aktres, Gwyneth Paltrow bersiar-siar dengan bot lajunya.

Bot laju itu bergerak dari sebuah kapal persendirian mewah milik pengarah filem tersebut yang berharga AS$359.58 juta (RM1.06 bilion).

Spielberg yang pernah mengarahkan filem Jaws dan Saving Private Ryan dikatakan meminta maaf kepada anggota-anggota pihak berkuasa pengawal pantai.

"Saya meminta maaf. Saya Steven Spielberg. Saya tidak mengetahui peraturan," kata pengarah filem itu.

Menurut seorang anggota pengawal pantai, Vincenzo Petrella, Spielberg menawarkan untuk membayar denda itu kepadanya.

Namun, katanya, dia memberitahu pengarah filem itu bahawa wang tersebut perlu dibayar di sebuah pejabat pos.- Agensi

Boy born with 34 fingers and toes

World record ... one-year-old Akshat
Saxena was born with 34 fingers and toes

A LITTLE boy stunned medics after being born with 34 fingers and toes.

One-year-old Akshat Saxena had seven fingers on each hand and ten toes on each foot — but no thumbs.

His condition is a genetic disorder known as polydactyl.

Akshat, from Uttar Pradesh, northern India, has since had surgery to remove the excess digits.

And doctors are trying to construct thumbs from the fingers they amputated.

Mum Amrita said: "I was so happy to see my baby as it was our first child. But later, when I saw his fingers, I was shocked and surprised."

Amrita later learned that her son had broken the world record for the child with the most fingers and toes.

Shocking ... little Akshat has 20 toes

The previous record holder was a six-year-old boy in China who had 15 fingers and 16 toes.

Amrita said a friend told her that Akshat was special.

She said: "He read on the internet about the baby born in China. Then he said that my boy has broken the record of having 34 fingers.

"At first I was not convinced at all. It was hard to believe that my son has broken the record.

"But later, he along with my husband and younger sister registered the data on the internet."

‘Alien’ critter sparks panic

Shock ... locals wanted cops to arrest monkey

THIS balding, bug-eyed monkey sparked panic in a village when locals feared it was an ALIEN.

Housewife Mao Xiping raised the alarm after she found the malnourished creature stealing cucumbers from her flat.

She told cops it had "an alien face" and was unlike anything she had seen before.

They refused to believe her until she trapped it, took it to the police station in a washing basket - and demanded officers ARREST it.

Last night experts were examining the 1½ft creature to find out more about it.

The beast was so thin that its ribs could be seen through its flesh as it was inspected in Henan Province, central China.

Bizarre ... housewife told of beast's 'alien face'

Mao, of Gezhai village, said: "At first I thought it was a rabbit, then I was shocked to see it had an alien face.

"My neighbours agreed it was like nothing we'd seen before. It stopped eating cucumbers when we gave it peaches - now it won't eat anything else."

Malnourished ... now monkey adores peaches

Billionaire sheikh carves his name in
desert so big it can be seen from SPACE

A big name in the desert ... Sheikh Hamad Bin Hamdan Al Nahyan's handywork

A DESERT sheikh has carved out a big name for himself — by having his moniker etched in capital letters visible from space.

View from space ... mega-rich sheikh's name

Workmen scoured "HAMAD" into the sand on the orders of Abu Dhabi's Sheikh Hamad Bin Hamdan Al Nahyan.

The name is two miles across — with letters a kilometre high. It is so huge that the "H", the first "A" and part of the "M" have been made into waterways.

The mega-rich sheikh, 63 — a member of the ruling family of Abu Dhabi — in the oil-rich United Arab Emirates — boasts a £14billion fortune that is second only to the Saudi king's.

His fleet of more than 200 cars — including seven Mercedes 500 SELs painted in different colours of the rainbow — is housed in a custom-built pyramid.

His name is etched on to an island he owns called Al Futaisi.

£3bn golden yacht is world's most expensive

Jewel of the sea ... gold-plated yacht has been sold for £3billion

THIS gold-plated superyacht is said to be the most expensive on the planet — worth a staggering £3BILLION.

The British-designed vessel is adorned with 100 tons of gold — covering more than half its surface.

The 100ft craft, which has been billed as the world's most unique yacht, has sleeping quarters covered in platinum and a statue made from the bone of a Tyrannosaurus Rex.

Luxury ... dining room with surround views

The deck, dining areas, rails and anchor were also made from precious metals including platinum.

The History Supreme — designed by Liverpool jeweller Stuart Hughes — puts even Chelsea owner Roman Abramovich's swanky yacht in the shade.

Plush ... bedroom on super yacht

The billionaire's 533ft Eclipse, which has its own missile defence system and escape submarine, is the world's biggest private yacht — but at £750million it is a snip compared to this creation.

Stuart, 40, who took three years to build the History Supreme for a Malaysian businessman, said: "It was probably the most mammoth task ever."

Precious ... stunning gold and platinum-covered deck of History Supreme

Stuart — who also made a £5million diamond-wrapped iPhone — added: "I've covered all sorts of things in gold but this has got to be my most ambitious project yet. This will never be topped.

"The businessman just approached us and asked us whether we could do it. He wanted a plane doing as well, but the thing would never take off if we did.

"So he said, 'Can you do the yacht?' and I said, 'We'll give it a crack.' Then it was pretty much a case of can you make this gold, can you make that gold?

"We just did what we were told and are delighted with the result."

The yacht was built in Italy and completed in Malaysia two weeks ago.
