Jan 26 2006The Superficial Catch Up
• Halle Berry and a Versace model named Gabriel Aubry hooked up at a cast dinner hosted by Bruce Willis, proving that all it takes to make out with Halle Berry is to be an international male supermodel and not, as I had previously thought, me. [Page Six]
• Richard Hatch was found guilty of tax evasion yesterday, and faces a maximum sentence of 13-years in prison and a $600,000 fine. When asked to comment, he removed all of his clothes and started parading around with his willy flopping about. Okay not really, but that would have been awesome. [E!]
• Chris Penn, younger brother of Sean Penn, was found dead in his apartment on Tuesday. [I Watch Stuff]

I was under the impression, game shows in the U.S. tax the winner right there before they are given the prize money.
My condolences to Penn's family. He actually was not an actor who craved attention like Halle Berry. Its to bad life is like that. One day your laughing, love making, making cash and developing and the next day your a corpse.

Are you suggesting that Richard Hatch used his unpaid tax money to pay for the murder of Chris Penn to get back at Halle Berry for dating a Versace model whose illicit affair with Nicole Simpson drove OJ to murder the world's fattest man?
Fascinating...

RIP Chris, you were an excellent actor.
Only 40, and no cause of death has been released. Not to sound like a snooper, but it does make me wonder.

How can someone who wins a million dollars be so stupid about refusing to pay taxes on it? What an ass!

Halle Berry is one lucky bitch.
RIP Chris Penn.

Shit. I'm really, really gonna miss Chris Penn. Dammit, I watched the remake of Starsky & Hutch because of him. I'm kinda whining right now, laugh all you want. D:

Richard Hatch, you got what you deserved!
Gabriel Aubry: You lucky bastard.
Chris Penn: I was actually sorry to here about his passing. Something tells me he died just like John Candy did. At least he wasn't a douche like his brother is.

For being a reality tv star he sure doesn't know anything about reality. Richard Hatch "So wait those two certain things in life......paying taxes and dying...no wait i think it's being a c-list celebrity and a douche and dying."

So, when you're convicted of tax evasion do you go to white collar prison, or a federal "pound-you-in-the-ass" prison?
Either way, he had it coming for being such a pompous jackass.

I read about it on another site, and it said they already performed the autopsy, and they still couldn't determine Chris Penn's death. Blood toxicology tests will hopefully prove what happened, but he was over 300 pounds and had a history of drug abuse, so it could be a number of things. Poor guy, he was a great actor, and very underrated.

I know I should take the time out to either blame Uncle Sam for "that guy's" tax problems, or lie and say how good of an actor Chris Penn was (he really was great in Corky Romano), but you seriously had me at Halle!

Nice guy eddie is dead. Bummer. He had the honor of being in one of my favorite films. RIP brother.

RIP Chris. I always enjoyed seeing him in a movie; he was always entertaining and so underrated. Taken too soon.
He will be missed.
