The line between relevant celebrity gossip and absolute nonsense is a fine one, almost indistinguishable at times. But as ridiculous as the following stories may seem, they are actually more entertaining than any Hills’ off-screen drama or Britney snafu.
First of all, TMZ had the rare - almost supernatural - occasion of reporting the headline “Clark Gable stabbed in the chest.” Seriously. But before your time-space continuum spins into a frenzy, let’s clear this up. It was actually the grandson of the original Clark Gable, Hollywood’s revered leading man.
Gable III was stabbed in the rib cage at a house party in Los Angeles, where he was involved in a verbal dispute and then rushed to hospital following the incident. He spent a week in hospital but is reported to be recovering. One person has been arrested and police are still searching for more suspects. I’m sure Gable III will cast this as an epic tale, but it hardly holds a candle to Gone With the Wind. Shame.

Shelley Malil, who played one of Steve Carell’s co-workers in “The 40-Year-Old Virgin,” has been arrested for allegedly stabbing his ex-girlfriend as many as 20 times.
TMZ reports that Malil, who also starred in the “Wassup” Budweiser commercials, attacked the woman in her home in San Diego, chasing her inside and outside the house. He was later apprehended at an Amtrak station.
The victim’s two children were in the house at the time of the attack. Her condition is unknown.
Gaetano Thomas Oteri, the father of “Saturday Night Live” alum Cheri Oteri, has been stabbed to death with a pocket knife, reports TMZ.
His roommate, songwriter Richard William Fagan, has been charged for the murder and is being held without bond.
The two were friends, writing songs together. Mr. Oteri had even helped Fagan through some difficult times. Fagan’s website reads, “Many years ago when Fagan was down and out (see Fagan bio), it was Tommy who took him in and put him on a path to songwriting stardom.”
Fagan is the co-writer of several John Michael Montgomery songs, including “Sold (the Grundy County Auction Incident).”
