Conning London

Kevin Spacey, who in my opinion is absolutely one of the best actors of the last decade, has recanted his claim of being mugged in a London park, admitting he was conned by a teenager into giving up his wireless phone. [SunTimes.com].

So Kevin, what in heaven's name are you doing walking a dog at 4:30 a.m. in Kensington Park? And how can you injure yourself by "tripping over Mini, [your] Jack Russell terrier"? Even the London tabloids are being somewhat restrained in lambasting this incredible story, saying that visting Kensington in the wee hours is a "slightly eccentric thing to do." Others point out that Spacey, who won Oscars for his work in The Usual Suspects and American Beauty, has always denied rumours that he is gay.

Frankly, I don't care either way. Just get your butt back to bed until the sun comes up, Kevin, and no more cavorting with the London pigeons in the middle of the night.
