Mr. Holland’s lawsuit to his dad and uncle

GOSSIP. When it comes to Hollywood badasses, many names pop up (Sylvester Stallone, Charles Bronson, and Carrie Fisher all come to mind). But, you know, we’ve always kind of known that Richard Dreyfuss should be right up there. Because, as it turns out, if you’re elderly, owe him some money, and happened to have fathered him, he’s totally going to sue your ass.

See, Dreyfuss is suing his father and uncle over an $870,000 loan he claims was never repaid. This transaction happened in 1984. And now Dreyfuss wants his family members to cough up the dough, never mind they are probably in their 80s, maybe even older.

According to The Associated Press, Dreyfuss alleges his uncle and father, Norman Dreyfuss, have acted with “fraud” and “malice.” He is seeking a repayment of the loan, plus interest and punitive damages.

Yeah, Dreyfuss! Way to stick it to old family members even though you are totally rich. That will show them not to ask you for any loans over 24 years ago. In their faces!

American Dad
We at the Word have been glued to ClayAiken.com all weekend (help. us.) to see if the magical ginger man will post anything more about his son, who was born on Friday. Aiken announced the birth to the world on the site.

He wrote:

“My dear friend, Jaymes, and I are so excited to announce the birth of Parker Foster Aiken. (No hyphens. One first name. One middle name. One last name.) Parker was born at a hospital in North Carolina just this morning at 8:08 a.m. Wow ... 8:08 ... 08/08/08. The little man is healthy, happy, and as loud as his daddy. Mama Jaymes is doing quite well also.”

Just as a way of recap, Mama Jaymes is 50 and Clay Aiken is, well, Clay Aiken. And they have a very “special” relationship (as in they aren’t dating or living together or have any plans on being together, but will raise their new child together). Basically, it’s all very weird.

Now, if you’ll excuse us, we’re going to have a drink.
