Photos of Dog the Bounty Hunter, Beth Chapman, Randy Quaid

You can run to Canada, Randy and Evi Quaid, and you can hide, but—I’m sorry, I can’t even talk about this with a straight face.

Apparently, Dog the Bounty Hunter’s wife, Beth Chapman, is hunting the Quaids.

I mean, I think she is, at least. In the open letter Beth Chapman posted to her blog yesterday, she threatens that, the instant the Quaids return to the U.S., she and Dog will be there, ready to scoop them up and collect the reward. “You are a fugitive!” she writes. “YOU’RE FREE GAME! And we’re gonna get ya no matter where you go no matter how long it takes.”

But Chapman’s letter suddenly turns sympathetic. “We are reaching out to you, Randy,” she writes. “If you want our help now’s the time to ask.”

“Let us help you negotiate your surrender,” she concludes. Well, that’s very nice of her.

The entire letter, chronicled here for posterity, after the jump.

A photo of Harlan Ellison, Galileo #6, January 1978

Noted science-fiction author Harlan Ellison—whose sizable oeuvre has been somewhat marred by his own litigiousness—is suing yet again. Ellison claims that next month’s In Time, which stars Justin Timberlake and Amanda Seyfried, owes too much to his seminal story, “‘Repent, Harlequin!’ Said the Ticktockman.”

From the Guardian:

According to Ellison’s suit, both works are based on the premise of a “dystopian corporate future in which everyone is allotted a specific amount of time to live.” The writer also says In Time lifts other concepts from his story, including the presence of authority figures known as “Timekeepers” who track the precise amount of time each citizen has left, and similarities in the way those whose time runs out meet their end.

Ellison is especially annoyed because, it turns out, he had just optioned his own story, only to discover that a similar movie was already on its way to theaters. And while Ellison may have a real copyright claim here, the terms of his suit—which demand that the movie go unreleased and all copies of the movie be destroyed—are outlandish. (Ellison’s suit also seeks compensation, of course.)

In 1976, the movie version of A Boy and His Dog, which was based on an Ellison story, won a Hugo Award. And though Ellison had nothing to do with the filmmaking, he complained that he ought to have received recognition, too. To placate him, the World Science Fiction Society presented Ellison with a piece of a statuette. (Harlan Ellison has 8 other Hugo Awards of his own.)

In a 2000 lawsuit, Ellison sued AOL and other ISPs after discovering four of his stories online. “If you put your hand in my pocket,” he told the New York Times in 2009, “you’ll drag back six inches of bloody stump.”

“I don’t ask to get rich off this stuff,” he also said. “I just ask to be paid.”

I just love Tony Bennett. I really do. When he finally dies, I’m going to be seriously sad – it’ll be an epic loss. Same with Rod Stewart. I cannot convey to you how much I love that man, and the fact that the two of them have done jazz standard albums is even further awesome to me, because I think the only songs worth listening to are of the jazz and blues genre (give me Robert Johnson or Billie Holiday any old day), or those with jazz and blues influences. But hey, that’s just me. I’m not saying there’s anything particularly wrong with death metal or Britney Spears, but I don’t think Mr. Bennett here has either of those on shuffle in his iPod.

Oh, and Gaga sounds pretty good, too, I suppose.

Remember Brad Pitt said this yesterday about ex-wife, Jennifer Aniston, more or less calling her sadsack ass dull?:

“ … I wasn’t living an interesting life myself. I think that my marriage [to actress Jennifer Aniston] had something to do with it. Trying to pretend the marriage was something that it wasn’t.”

Well, he’s changing his mind. Now he’s saying that his quote was misinterpreted, and that he actually meant that she was wonderful, amazing, talented, and whatever else her emotional training coach forced Brad to say to the public or face the wrath of bitter tears and a new boyfriend’s heinous beard. Example:

“It grieves me that this was interpreted this way. Jen is an incredibly giving, loving, and hilarious woman who remains my friend. It is an important relationship I value greatly. The point I was trying to make is not that Jen was dull, but that I was becoming dull to myself — and that, I am responsible for.”

But what about the part about pretending that the marriage was something that it wasn’t? Or that that directly had something to do with his life being “dull,” as he said? I’m glad he “clarified” for us, but I’m not really sure exactly what it is that he clarified.
