JERUSALEM (AP) - A man clad only in underwear and a T-shirt wrestled a wild leopard to the floor and pinned it for 20 minutes after the cat leapt through a window of his home and hopped into bed with his sleeping family.

"This kind of thing doesn't happen every day," said 49-year-old Arthur Du Mosch, a nature guide. "I don't know why I did it. I wasn't thinking, I just acted."

Shapira said it was probably food that lured the big cat. Leopards living near humans are usually too old to hunt in the wild and resort to chasing down domestic dogs and cats for food, he added.

Du Mosch's pet cat was in the bed with him at the time, along with his young daughter who had been frightened by a mosquito in her own room.

Hello readers. You will be hearing from me, the Tiny Gay Squirrel, for short, "TGS," every now and then. I am the Tammy Blog's new Special Cultural Correspondent and will contribute brief, but enlightening, commentary on various things Cultural. I will also interject in the occasional post by Tammy. Some of you may have noticed my debut here.

Today's report focuses on the Cannes Film Festival. I have some points to make, squirrelly and otherwise, about the people, the fashion, and the films. Here are a few photo highlights of what happened.

All the celebrities were at Cannes. Here is Sharon Stone hosting an auction for charity. She must stop vamping. She is not a gay man or even a gay squirrel. It does not look good on her. And I must ask, what is Ellen Barkin looking at?

Brangelina in their car looking very glamorous. They are promoting the movie they made about Daniel Pearl. With rumors of being unhappy and 'split up,' to this squirrel they looked very together.

The still creepy Mickey Roarke with a girl too young to know how creepy he is now compared to what he used to be like. When my squirrel hair looks like theirs, I know it's time to take a shower.

For a while I thought this was Bob Hope, but then I realized it was Tarantino. What do I know? I am just a Tiny Gay Squirrel.

The guest of French actor Gérard Depardieu appears to think he has had too many sauces. TGS agrees.

Helen Mirren, in my humble opinion, the most elegant of all.

It is sad when one could be mistaken for Joan Rivers, but one is Faye Dunaway (left). I do, however, love the shirt cuffs.

I am sure these people are famous, but all I can think of is that someone gave the men uneven bowl cuts five months ago. The girl? All I see is the silly hairclip.

I will close my report now with revealing the biggest star there--John Wayne. The French decided to show his film "Hondo" in 3-D to celebrate his 100th birthday. Yes, something has happened--a new pro-America French president and a John Wayne cowboy film at Cannes.

Reporting from Cannes, I am the Tiny Gay Squirrel.
