The weird, sad tale of Randy and Evi Quaid continued this morning on Good Morning America. Andrea Canning went up to Vancouver to interview the pair, who were recently released from a Canadian detention facility after fleeing various criminal charges in the U.S. The interview makes for difficult viewing, unless you have a profoundly bleak sense of humor. The Quaids describe themselves as “refugees” fleeing from what Randy calls “a malignant tumor of star-whackers in Hollywood.” He goes on: “It is very possible that Heath Ledger could have been murdered. Or David Carradine.”
Despite Canning’s prodding, the Quaids never quite get around to describing who, precisely, is chasing them, although Evi mentions “an estate planner who has created a living trust in a county that could cash Randy’s royalty stream forever.” She also blames the Mafia, and argues that Mel Gibson’s phone rants were the product of a sting by said Estate-Planning Mafia: “I think he was drugged. I think he was slipped a mickey.”

PopWatchers, any thoughts about the Quaids’ ranting?

I give a lot of credit to the Quaids for having the guts to stand up to the Estate-Planning-Mickey-Slipping Mafia.
This should have been a reply to the first spam post, but it got deleted.
As an objective observer, Randy definitely seems like he’s on the wowie sauce – he’s slurry, and seems medicated. She might actually be schizophrenic or deranged in a real, clinical way, and she’s got him on some kind of drug. That’s what it looks like to me. Sad.
Is Casey Affleck in on this by any chance?
If he isn’t, he should be. These two are just begging for an E! True Hollywood Story.
Quiet you.
I had the same thought!
I can’t say that he’s COMPLETELY off base, because I think there are people out there who leach on to stars to get what they can out of them. But he does sound pretty crazy.
Well I live in Vancouver….you can have them both back any time.. We have enough of our own “crazies” running around…
I live in Santa Barbara. Too bad you have them there but I am glad they are not here wasting time in SB!
These people need to be locked up…this is the type of story where 5 months from now they’ll walk up to the Kodak Theater the night of the Oscars strapped in dynamite…and we’ll all say “Man, I knew something like this was gonna happen.” Seriously, if you live in Vancouver and you see these people, I suggest you RUN in the other direction.
I got laid off when they closed that asbestos factory, and wouldn’t you know it, the army cuts my disability pension because they said that the plate in my head wasn’t big enough.
I have not seen this much BS since last year as a Christmas bonus I got a one year membership in the jelly of the month club and my wife’s cousin says, “Clark, that’s the gift that keeps on giving the whole year.”
They are very obviously trying to run away from their wrong-doings and have completely fabircated the entire story. Acting crazy (is it acting?) only perpetuates the story even further… Canada should extradite them right now before Randy starts making sitcoms, like a remake of Mr. Belvedere, that will run in syndication for years and then we’ll never be rid of them!!!
He was thrown out of a play in Seattle over a year ago for his behavior and it just seems to be steadily getting worse. Something is wrong with them and they need help but they are also adults and haven’t hurt anyone yet.
It’s all an elaborate plot by Charlie Sheen’s publicist to make Charlie seem sane!
I see in this the next South Park episode plot.
BTW, how big is #star-whackers a trending topic on Twitter?
Slow commenting day for this to be first.
It was the Star-Whackers that killed Bonnie Blakely and framed Phil Spector too.
I feel bad for them. They’re obviously mentally ill.
His slurred words and half-open eyes make it look like he’s seriously drunk and drugged.
