FILE - In these Sept. 18, 2010 file images originally provided by the Santa Barbara County Sheriff's Office, actor Randy Quaid and his wife Evi Quaid, are shown after their Saturday Sept. 18, 2010 arrest on charges of felony residential burglary and entering a non-commercial building without consent. A prosecutor says Randy Quaid and his wife have failed to show up at a court hearing stemming from their arrests last month on suspicion of illegally squatting at a home. Santa Barbara Senior Deputy District Attorney Lee Carter says a judge issued $50,000 warrants for the couple after they failed to appear for an arraignment on felony vandalism charges. Carter says the couple's case will be called again on Oct. 26. (AP Photo/Santa Barbara County Sheriff)

Starwhacker-fugitive update!. In case you're wondering what's up withe poster kids for folie a deux, the Quaids apparently read about phones being "hacked" in England by reporters, and made the natural assumption that's exactly what happened to them. As for those warrants? This story lets Evi tell the tale:

No, Will Smith was the star. Randy Quaid was the comic relief.

If that sounds strained, well, it's not. It makes perfect sense! ENTER DARK LORD MURDOCH.

People in New York, angry? Never happen. As for that Seattle story, hadn't heard that one before. Or I did, and somehow it didn't lodge in my brain. The musical was an update of Shakespeare with Quaid as Falstaff, and his defense was more or less "I was just being in character all the time." People usually love that! Ask any actor, and they'll tell you how much the cast loves it when someone never goes out of character.

The charges and hearing went as well as expected, acording to Reuters:
