Actor Fred Willard arrested for lewd conduct
Actor Fred Willard reportedly was arrested for lewd conduct Thursday night in Hollywood, where police allegedly caught him with his pants down and a tool in his hand in an adult movie theater.
Needless to say, Willard was not writing a movie review with his instrument.
Willard first gained national fame as Jerry Hubbard on the '70s TV show Fernwood Tonight. He later had memorable roles in Best In Show, Everybody Love Raymond and Anchorman.
But here's the rub -- Willard is 78 (TMZ), or 72 if you prefer Wikipedia!
Thus, Willard likely became an idol for many septuagenarians last night. Of course, the Fred's faithful would be best advised to honor Willard at home and not in adult theaters.
At the very least, they should toast him with a stiff drink.
Linsanity
My initial take on Jeremy Lin leaving the New York Knicks was, "So, what?"
I mean, the guy had a few good, albeit very entertaining, weeks with the Knicks. But we're not talking the second coming of Bob Cousy here. (At least, that's what I think.)
Did a little Linsanity really warrant that crazy deal the NBA's highest-profiled Asian player got from the Houston Rockets?
Well, I've since reversed pivot.
Friend and fellow reporter Ian O'Connor wrote that letting Lin bolt was a big mistake by the Knickerbockers. Besides that, James Dolan, apparently being pissed and feeling deceived by Lin and the Rockets, signed off on letting the point guard join Houston.
Hmm, Ian vs. Dolan? Based on their track records, I'd say that's a no-brainer -- I side with Ian.
