A Washington, D.C., man is fighting to keep the giant Transformers statues outside his home -- and he's involved actors from the franchise in his efforts. Newton Howard, a renowned brain scientist, commissioned an artist to create the massive statues of Autobots Bumblebee and Optimus Prime from old car parts in January 2021, and the installation of the two Transformers sculptures quickly received complaints from neighbors. A southern Illinois man has been charged with theft for allegedly stealing a backhoe to drive about 10 miles (16 kilometers) to an airport to catch a flight, authorities said. Security camera footage shows a Carbondale man arriving at Veterans Airport of Southern Illinois atop a backhoe and leaving it in the airport parking lot Thursday. The iconic North Hollywood, CA Brady Bunch House is now up for sale with a price tag of $5.5 million ... and the property's been transformed into a replica of the sitcom's set, following HGTV's purchase back in 2018. You'll recall, the channel bought it for $3.5M for its series, "A Very Brady Renovation."
