    Farewell Grasshopper

    It seems that David Carradine, star of Kung Fu and Kill Bill, as passed away at the age of 72.

    It's bad enough that the childhood hero of many has gone, but to have been found like this...

    Sorry, but you've got to

    After he was found in the wardrobe, apparently the two prime suspects have been announced...

    Aslan and Mr Tumnus.

    It wasn't an orange that was found with him. It was a banarnia.

    Re: Farewell Grasshopper

    I was in Canada whilst he was making the modern kungfu thing he was in and overheard a taxi driver talking about him.

    He was always picked up by a car to ensure he got to the set on time with out making impromptu stops at liquor stores or bars. Apparently the studio got naffed off with him turning up half cut. So they arranged the cars like that. The drivers were on pain of death to refuse to stop for anything because he'd go awol.

    Also he appeared in the bar I was drinking in one night. I clocked him told the other guys I was with who it was but he was so frazzled they didn't believe me. Until he made a scene because everyone was ignoring him - he was being rowdy but it's easy to be rowdy in a bar when the two biggest gentlemen of the outside toilet fraternity are your body guards.

    As he left he turned to the bar and theatrically shouted 'I go now!'
    Credit where credit is due not one person in the bar blinked!

    Celebrity gone mad! Literally

    We create these monsters... Yes, we each have our own choices, our own decisions... but we, through our media, pray on the weak, the stupid, the ignorant...

    We made Jade what she was, and Jordan, Grace Kelly, Peter Green, Marylin Monroe... the list goes on...

    As sad as it is, we each play our part...

    A little light, deference and respect go a long way...

    Re: Farewell Grasshopper

    Apparently his exwife divorced him because of "abhorrent and deviant sexual behaviour which was potentially deadly"

    Note the incorrect use of the word "potentially" there

    There is a piece in thesmokinggun.com but I can't go look at the moment I'm a little busy trying to book a hotel room for my next deviant sexual adventure!
