2 November 2009 5:26 PM, PST | WENN | See recent WENN news »
Randy Quaid and his wife appear to be making a joke of the law after failing to show up for a fourth court showdown in California.
The Quaids have been accused of leaving the San Ysidro Ranch in Santa Barbara, California without settling a $10,000 (£6,250) bill, and have been called to face charges four times.
Monday's date was reportedly set by the actor and his wife Evi themselves.
After their third no-show last week (ends30Oct09), the prosecutor revealed he was filing papers for them to be extradited from their native Texas. »

Actor Randy Quaid and his wife Evi have failed to show up in court to face burglary charges for a third time.
The couple was a no-show in court in Santa Barbara, California on Thursday - and so extradition papers, forcing the Quaids out of their native Texas, are being prepared, according to TMZ.com.
The pair has been charged with defrauding Santa Barbara's San Ysidro Ranch hotel by taking off without paying a $10,000 (£6,250) bill. They face felonies for burglary, conspiracy and defrauding an innkeeper. »

Randy and Evi Quaid Wanted in All the Wrong Ways
26 October 2009 3:20 PM, PDT | E! Online | See recent E! Online news »
Randy Quaid's going to be spending his Christmas vacation in the clink if he isn't careful. The Santa Barbara District Attorney's Office is drawing up the paperwork to have Quaid and his wife, Evi, extradited from Texas, where the duo opted to remain rather than show up for a court hearing today in their unpaid bill case. "The Da's office will be seeking extradition of the Quaids," spokesman Lee Carter tells E! News. "That process will take at least two to three weeks. I started to prepare the extradition paperwork when they did not appear last week." What foresight! The Quaids had the chance to save a tree or two by appearing in court either last Monday or today,... »
Quaids Face Extradition To California Over Fraud Charges
26 October 2009 2:56 PM, PDT | WENN | See recent WENN news »
Actor Randy Quaid and his wife Evi are facing extradition to California to face felony charges of fraud after failing to show up to court on for a second time on Monday.
The Quaids were expected in a Santa Barbara court, where they were facing three charges of allegedly burglarising and defrauding the owner of the luxury San Ysidro Ranch after checking out without paying $10,000 (£6,600) hotel bill last month.
The pair was arrested in their home state of Texas, and later posted $20,000 (£13,300) bail. They were ordered to return to court on 19 October, but they rang the District Attorney's office to cancel the appearance just three days before.
The date of the hearing was then changed to Monday, but once again the couple failed to show - so the Santa Barbara District Attorney's office has decided to file extradition papers to ensure the couple returns to California for a new court hearing.
According to TMZ.com, the actor and his wife will be re-arrested in Texas and returned to California. »

After missing a court date in Santa Barbara last week, Randy Quaid and his wife, Evi, indicated through their attorney that they'd be in court Monday afternoon to be arraigned on felony charges. But with hours to go before they were due to appear, their new attorney said they would not be there - and would instead show up later in the week, according to Senior Deputy District Attorney Lee Carter. "I hope they show up in court later this week," Carter tells People. "I'm proceeding with the extradition. I'm not holding my breath for them." The pair were arrested in Marfa, »

Quaids Fail To Show Up To Court
19 October 2009 6:36 PM, PDT | WENN | See recent WENN news »
Actor Randy Quaid and his wife Evi failed to show up in court on Monday to face felony charges of failing to pay a $10,000 (£6,600) hotel bill.
The couple was taken into custody in Marfa, Texas last month after a California judge issued an arrest warrant, citing the outstanding bill from the luxury San Ysidro Ranch in Santa Barbara.
The Quaids were released after each posting $20,000 (£13,300) bail and they are now facing three felony charges of allegedly burglarising and defrauding the hotel owner.
Their lawyer claims they had intended to settle the bill after leaving the resort but it got lost in the post when they moved house.
The bill has now reportedly been paid in full, but charges against the couple have not been dropped. They were due to appear in court on 19 October, but they rang the District Attorney's office on Friday to cancel the appearance.
The Quaids' attorney, Ken Johnson, said the pair "just couldn't make it Monday - that it was too soon."
A court appearance has been scheduled for next Monday, Carter says, "I have begun the very lengthy process of preparing the extradition paperwork for the Quaids." »
10 Most Underrated Young Actors
12 October 2009 7:54 PM, PDT | The Movie Fanatic | See recent The Movie Fanatic news »
Cinema is filled with multi-talented young actors who bring to life all types of characters. Sometimes, a role is given to the wrong guy - just because he has the looks (pin-up pretty, looks awesome wearing trunks) and the connection (a powerful talent agent at his side). But when the role is given to the right guy - moviegoers get to witness something unique, memorable and powerful, even magical. Anyway, even the 'right guy' needs an agent, of course...

- - - Underrated versus Overrated: If you've watched Jumper, then you'll notice the difference between Jamie Bell and Hayden Christensen - Bell has undeniable screen presence, I can't say the same with Hayden. It could have been different if Tom Sturridge was retained to play Hayden's part. Anyway, who am I to argue? Christensen has more box office appeal than the relatively unknown Sturridge, but acting-wise?

Quaid's Wife Sued For Defamation
7 October 2009 6:31 PM, PDT | WENN | See recent WENN news »
The cop who arrested Randy Quaid for failing to pay an outstanding hotel bill has filed suit against the actor's wife for defamation.
Texas Sheriff's Deputy James Davis became the target of abuse when Quaid's wife Evi went public with allegations of bribery and misconduct following the arrest last month, but when she slandered the cop on a van sign she drove up and down outside his police station, he decided enough was enough.
At the time, he said, "She's entitled to her freedom of speech, but at some point it becomes libel. I'm considering legal action if it continues."
And now Davis has filed a lawsuit against Evi Quaid in Presidio County, Texas.
His lawyer tells TMZ.com, "He's being accused of engaging in illegal activities, something he's never done."
Quaid has already filed a formal complaint against Davis, accusing the cop of conspiring to set the couple up and accepting illegal bribes. »

Next 'Vacation' Movie to Focus on Rusty Griswold
7 October 2009 8:30 AM, PDT | MTV Movies Blog | See recent MTV Movies Blog news »
Warner Bros. is passing the torch of its "National Lampoon's Vacation" franchise to subsidiary New Line Cinema, which is appropriate since the series itself is making a similar generational transition. According to The Hollywood Reporter, following four installments focused on Clark Griswold (Chevy Chase) and family during different vacations -- plus one spin-off involving a holiday taken by the motley clan of Cousin Eddie (Randy Quaid) -- the franchise has been inherited by Clark's son Rusty, who now has a family of his own.
Rusty Griswold has been played by four different actors throughout the series' run. Anthony Michael Hall was the first to play the son, appropriate since the original film was scripted and based on a short story by the late John Hughes, who went on to turn the kid into a star with roles in "Sixteen Candles," "Weird Science" and "The Breakfast Club."
Hughes also wrote the first two sequels, »

Quaid Brothers Estranged Over Evi
29 September 2009 5:16 AM, PDT | WENN | See recent WENN news »
Randy Quaid's relationship with his family has fallen apart because his younger brother Dennis doesn't approve of his wife Evi.
The Brokeback Mountain star and his partner were arrested in Texas over an outstanding $10,000 (£6,660) hotel bill earlier this month and were released after they each posted $20,000 (£13,300) bail.
But Quaid won't be turning to his actor sibling for support in the ensuing legal battle - because the brothers fell out over Randy's relationship with Evi, according to the 58 year old's former private investigator, Becky Altringer.
Altringer tells RadarOnline.com, "Randy told me that none of his family will see or talk to him because of Evi. He told me that he really misses his mother and his brother Dennis, but that they are all afraid of Evi. I used to see him tear up when he'd talk about them."
Altringer also maintains Randy turned to alcohol to cope with his wife's mood swings, swigging "big glasses of straight vodka every night".
Deputy James Davis alleged Evi verbally abused him when he arrested the couple and he's threatening legal action against her after she claimed he tried to extort cash from the Quaids.
The actor married Evi in 1989. »
