I was all set to post some boring, wonky thing when I heard about this. So this is like the blog version of "Extra! Extra! Extra!" Can you believe this dude? He's seventy-freakin'-nine!In case you missed it, here is a report from Entertainment Weekly:
"Actor Rip Torn, 79, was arrested Friday night on charges of burglary and criminal trespassing after officials allegedly found him carrying a loaded revolver inside a bank in Salisbury, Conn., according to the Register Citizen newspaper. A police report published on TMZ.com states that Torn used “forced entry” to get inside the bank and was “highly intoxicated” when taken into custody. The actor is being held on a $100,000 cash bond and is set to appear in court on Feb. 1. A rep for Torn did not immediately respond to requests for comment."
I've always loved this guy but I guess he decided he wasn't going to be forgotten by anyone. (The mugshot was from a previous transgression.)

Feeling 79 is not so old . . .
Salisbury is the next town south of Sheffield, where I graduated high school. William F Buckley always has a weekend home in Sharon, the next town over. It ain't Warren.
Not all that bright robbing a bank in the small town in which you live. If he worked at Goldman Sachs he could have done it without a gun. I suspect mental problems either untreated or unsuccessfully treated.
Rip took WIllie Sutton's advice.
I'm sure the Men in Black must have wiped out his memory, causing such a trangression.
Not surprised. This is the guy who hit Norman Mailer with a hammer. He didn't like the way Mailer was directing the film (can't recall which one). Mailer then bit RT's ear. Whatta dope!
How sad
. Can you say hello my name is drunk.The bottle let him down. Maybe a case of the brown bottle flu or too much vodka lotka.
I have no problem with Rip taking a hammer to Mailer,but the bank jobs a surprise.
In other celeb news, I feel the streets are alot safer now that Tiger is in rehab. Also,thanks J.D. for the other DB,Holden,Franny&Zoe
In the immortal words of Dean Wormer. "fat, drunk and stupid is no way to go through life". I just didn't know you had to remind a 79 year-old man of this truism. Mug shot worse than Glen Campbell's but much better than Nick Nolte's.
This reminds me of a line by Curly of the Three Stooges..."I was thinking but nothing happened."
