When I heard that
David Carradine was found hanging from a closet in his hotel room yesterday, one of the first things I thought was, "Huh. He doesn't seem like the kind of guy who would commit suicide." He just seemed like one of those full-of-life guys that wanted to experience all he could before he checked out. I even wondered aloud to my fiancee if he died doing something... else, using the rumored cause of
death of INXS' Michael Hutchence as a reference.
I guess I wasn't far off. Now Thai police are speculating that Carradine may have accidentally died during a "
sex game gone wrong," according to
The Washington Post. This is after his manager, who was on
Larry King Live last night, his friends and family, and his colleagues all agreed that
there was no way Carradine was suicidal.

Are you ready for more
CSI? I mean, there's original
CSI, CSI: Miami, CSI: New York, NCIS (which isn't part of the franchise, but has the letters), plus all these shows are in reruns and now,
William Petersen is ready for a big screen CSI. He's downright positive about it, even though he himself exited the TV show last December. I don't know if a movie version of
CSI is really necessary, but to hear Petersen talk, there are some valid reasons.
For his point of view, some stories couldn't be shown on TV because of the graphic or sexual content. He'd like to see a movie version go where no TV
CSI has gone before.

Someone out there has taken the time to compose
a list of the weirdest celebrities to appear on a kid's show. The guests include Amy Sedaris, Quentin Tarantino, Larry David and George Carlin.
The common theme of the list is that actors who usually appear in adult shows or using adult humor are appearing on children's television where it is unlikely they will be recognized by the average viewer. Frankly, I doubt most kids recognize most celebrities when presented in front of them no matter what they've appeared in unless it's on The Disney Channel or Nickelodeon.
I think the point of appearing on these shows is greater visibility for the actor. That way, the kids might recognize them when they're older and discover comic gold like
Strangers With Candy or
Curb Your Enthusiasm.
