Essay 500


Hooray for a Hollywood MultiCultClassics Monologue…

• Robert Blake recently claimed he wanted to act and even dance (see Essay 483). Now he says he can’t pay up to $1.7 million in taxes he owes. Sounds like a lot of song and dance.

• Boxer James “The Harlem Hammer” Butler will allegedly admit to killing sportswriter Sam Kellerman — but Butler insists it wasn’t murder. Kellerman was bludgeoned to death with a hammer last October. Guess it was a home improvement chore gone horribly awry.

• Morgan Spurlock, the filmmaker behind “Super Size Me,” came off like a Super Size moron while speaking at a high school health fair. Spurlock dissed McDonald's employees, cracked about the “retarded kids in the back wearing helmets” and remarked on teachers smoking weed. Spurlock proclaimed, “The greatest lesson those kids learned today was the importance of free speech.” Plus, award-winning filmmakers are sometimes assholes.
