MAYBE Charlie Sheen. His BMW found at the bottom of a ravine off Mulholland this morning. Shit is only about a mile or two from my place... the helicopters and siren woke me up this morning.

LAPD says the car was stolen, but we'll see. Isn't the first time they've lied to prevent a circus.

The helis and sirens began around 6am, which is interesting considering the police wouldn't have known it was Sheens car probably until daybreak. The reports are the police were already at his house working on a stolen car report -- doesn't the dude have a locked garage??? Where did the car get stolen from, and what celebrity is up so early in the morning to call the police that morning about his BMW suddenly gone?

My guess is, they were at his house on a missing persons call (him), and in a drunken rage he ran his car off a cliff. We'll know more later in the day.

OK. TMZ says something diff'rent.

Good. Maybe these heli's will go away.

Wow... can't believe no one mentioned Doug Fieger.

Funny, I thought he'd died a long time ago... and I don't mean career. I really thought the douche was dead and buried.

Wow... I actually met Corey Haim, in an elevator at the Hard Rock Hotel in Vegas. I told him I liked him in Lucas, he thanked me, and then we were down on the main floor.

You went DOWN on him? Jesus titty-fucking Christ, Mxy!!!!

I went down WITH him (which doesn't sound any better, really :) ).

Clearly, I'm a straight man when it comes to humor and sexuality.

You're all missing the real story here. Vinny scooped the Glenn Reaper on a death notice.

I didn't know Haim died so I opened a new tab and did a google search. This is the response:

I reproduced what Pharaoh was seeing with news.google.com.au search, but NOT news.google.com which gives more appropriate non-Spice Girl results. The media sources and weights on the media sources differ. For U.S.-based stories, you may want to use the U.S. news source. For stories based in other countries, it can be helpful to change the news source to that other country temporarily.

Gonna have to watch Lost Boys this weekend.

Always thought that he and Dave Campbell from ESPN's Baseball Tonight could have passed as brothers.

Geraldine Ferraro

My daughter's teacher passed away on the 22nd.

oof, that would be difficult

T&P GF and Fools daughters teacher.

GF kind of deserved better than she got. Mondale was a sacrificial lamb - he was an entitled doofus and he knew he didn't have a chance in 1984. But Ferraro was a rare politician who was clever, calm, educated and professional. IIRC she cleaned up in the VP debates. 84 and 88, the Dems might have done better if they had swapped the #1 and #2 on the ticket - they still wouldn't have won, probably, but they would have avoided embarrassing themselves.

Geraldine died?

I thought Flip Wilson went years ago.


T&P

GF was a politician who seemed to respect the other side no matter how much she disagreed with them. She stuck up for Sarah Palin when she was attacked and her family was attacked. She also held her head high when the Obama Admin labeled her a racist. The world needs more peeps like her.

Friday on, you guys. Let's have a proper weekend for the Macho Man. A TRUE American hero. Work can kiss my white butt. I'm outta here.

What an awesome day on twitter.

Sucks, but is anyone surprised by the heart attack reports? I kind of imagine him being like Farley's character in the Super Fans SNL skits. Not the overweight n eating part, but the heart attack part fits. I'm surprised he didn't just pound it out and keep going... though maybe he's done that 50-100 times already.

edit: I think it's the massive overexertion he always had goin on. That pumper had to just say fuck it at least a couple times a day.

Ryan Dunn is DONE.

Not his first car accident.

Certainly his last.

Was the humor lost because I didn't put "accident" in quotes or something? Horrible joke, I know, but I couldn't think of a good way to pair the Jackass skit with the news. If nothing else.... karma is a bitch. Horrible again, I know. He was prob my favorite guy from that crew though; I think he seemed more down to Earth or something. If I was on Jackass, I'd have probably been him.
