Default Celebrities in the News
Figured I'd start a thread for news stories featuring celebrities. Music, TV, film, sports, any category featuring famous faces.

Here's one to get the thread started...


Mickey Rourke wrestling with bills, appealing to fans for help on back rent


He was great in 'Diner', 'The Pope of Greenwich Village' and 'Barfly', just to name three of many he's been in over the years.

WTF happened?

WTF, indeed. I really liked “Diner”, although the ending was more 70s or 80s than ‘50s or early ‘60s.

Good actor (I liked Angel Heart) but seems like mental health's been an issue for him

If you wanna know how bad it's gotten for ol' Mickey, I'm getting google notifications about him in Hebrew for some reason. As if this place has no more immediate problems.

Now Mickey is saying the GoFundMe was done without his prior knowledge or consent.

Strange situation. He has an impressive filmography. I wonder what he did with his money to end up broke?

Very famous person spotted in the wild (not by me but it's not far away from where I live)

Here's a story with a celebrity connection...

Rare first Superman comic once stolen from Nicolas Cage sells for $15m

Quote:
The Con Air and National Treasure star purchased this particular copy in 1996 for $150,000 - a record at the time.

But the comic was stolen during a party at Cage's home in 2000 and only found - inside a storage unit in California - in 2011.

"During that 11-year period, it skyrocketed in value. The thief made Nicolas Cage a lot of money by stealing it," said Metropolis/ComicConnect CEO Stephen Fishler.

Cage was reunited with the copy and, six months later, sold it at auction for $2.2m.
Looks like Nicolas is a lot better at handling his money than Mickey.
