I was thinking Nick Nolte's, though it'll be hard to ever top that one.

You know, I'm beginning to think we should just call this the Pete Doherty Memorial thread. Except somehow, against all odds, he hasn't managed to kill himself.

You have to think there are only two possible outcomes to this:

* horrific OD complete with gory tabloid pictures of self-soilage
* sudden transformation into the worst kind of born-again Christian

The latter may be more of an American phenomenon, so the former is probably your best bet.

Actually, you can tell Rip Torn is on something, because that is the one and only time I've ever seen him smile. In fact, when he sobers up and sees that, he's going to march down to the Police Station and demand they burn that mug shot with his badassed scowl. He'll take a new one too, because as grizzled a bastard as he is, Rip Torn is still a man of honor.

He failed to file tax returns from 1999 to 2004? Man. It's not like you can say you forgot the deadline, there.

Also: Did he then file them for the last year? Why in the hell would he bother?

He says he is a scapegoat and has been unfairly targeted.

A scapegoat for what exactly? His own scheme to avoid paying taxes?

They said on the news he's claiming to be the victim of bad tax advice. HA! Just what exactly was that advice? Don't pay taxes? Blade has untaxable super powers? What?

I really want to know.

He was told if he didn't release any more movies in theaters after 2004, that could be enough of a charity to get a write-off.

HEE.

I bet they told him that you could save them up for 5 years, file 'em, and get a discount!

Nicole Richie arrested for DUI

I'm happy for Courtney Love.

QUOTE
A judge agreed to terminate Love's probation and drop all pending charges after Love proved that she had successfully completed her drug rehab programs.

Love was in hot water over several drug cases and an assault charge but now it's officially behind her.

The judge told Love that he had followed her progress in the media and it was apparent she had made a choice to change her lifestyle.

I'm just wondering how long it will last this time.

Evel Knievel suing Kanye West.

QUOTE
Evel Knievel has sued Kanye West, taking issue with a music video in which the rapper takes on the persona of "Evel Kanyevel" and tries to jump a rocket-powered motorcycle over a canyon.

Knievel, whose real name is Robert Craig Knievel, filed a lawsuit in federal court in Tampa on Monday claiming infringement on his trademark name and likeness. He also claims the "vulgar and offensive" images depicted in the video damage his reputation.

"That video that Kanye West put out is the most worthless piece of crap I've ever seen in my life, and he uses my image to catapult himself on the public," the 68-year-old daredevil said Tuesday.


Heeeee.

Skyblade- 12-12-2006
I'd say this was insult to injury, except wouldn't losing the video award be the insult, and Evel Knievel is the guy who gets all the injuries, so I'm not sure what expression to use, except that Knievel is one triflin' friend indeed.

Judge denies Paris Hilton's request for access for psychiatric history of woman suing her for $10 million.

For those who don't remember what the original lawsuit between Miss Fake Tan and Personality Paris and Zeta Graff is all about, a refresher:

QUOTE
The Graff vs. Hilton legal battle began as a war of words in the summer of 2005 over a man with whom they were both involved.

At the time, Hilton, 25, was engaged to Greek shipping heir Paris Latsis, 23, who previously dated Graff, who is reportedly in her mid-30s.

The New York Post reported on July 2, 2005, that anonymous sources claimed that when Graff walked into Kabaret and saw her former lover dancing with Hilton to Barry Manilow's "Copacabana," she lost her mind, went "berserk," tried to snatch a $4 million diamond necklace off Hilton's neck, and had to be physically restrained by security guards.


ETA: I'm surprised that Evel Knievel got around to suing Kanye for using his image and likeness in "Touch The Sky".
