Kevin Bacon mugged in New York City

No respect: Actor Kevin Bacon was mugged while catching a train in New York City Thursday (May 21.)

According to reports, Bacon’s BlackBerry was stolen at the 53rd Street and Seventh Avenue Station. Witnesses say that Bacon tried to chase down the thief, but lost him in the crowd. Police are said to be investigating.

Let’s just hope for the thief’s sake that the separation between the pair isn’t significantly less than the 6 degrees it usually is between Kevin Bacon and 99% of the rest of the world.

BACON’D! Kevin Bacon Punks Ashton Kutcher

Kevin Bacon was so cool its almost uncool to call him cool. Now there is this preview of Kevin Bacon’s new prank/reality show, BACON’D! It’s clearly a spoof of Ashton Kutcher’s reality TV series Punk’d.

I am not sure whether the “sneak peek” is real, or its a spoof of a spoof. But it does seem a little desperate. Some commenters who are taking the video seriously are saying he did it because he lost money in the Maddoff scheme.

There are a couple of laugh out loud moments, I personally love where is in the photo with a tourist and whent hey take the snap he hides his face.

Some of the best quotes Kevin Bacon uses in the video besides “you just got BAAACCCONNN’DDD! are

“That’s the oldest bacon in the book!” “It’s bacon o’clock” and “I think everyone in Venice Beach, California should check their cholesterol count because everybody just got BACON’D!”

Check out BACON’D From Kevin Bacon. Is it cool, or a little old with a whiff of desperation attached? You tell me.

Kevin Bacon and Kyra Sedgwick Duped by Madoff Scheme

Meieli Sawyer — Tue, 30 Dec 2008 22:00:02 +0000

Kyra Sedgwick and Kevin Bacon have been identified as victims of Bernie Madoff’s $50 billion Ponzi scheme that left investors in financial ruin. Kevin Bacon’s rep, Allen Eichorn, told New York Magazine that “I can confirm that they had investments with Mr. Madoff — no further specifics or comment beyond that.”

Rumor has it that Bacon and his wife Kyra have lost nearly everything (excluding their land and the contents of their checking accounts), but Eichorn said that we shouldn’t “speculate or rely on hearsay.”

Well, we shouldn’t, but we want to… I’m sure that’s not the last of the damage to be revealed, with Steven Spielberg’s Wunderkinder Foundation already affected and Jeffrey Katzenberg of Dreamworks reported to have “lost millions” by the Wall Street Journal.

A federal bankruptcy judge released $28 million of Madoff’s assets today (Tuesday) to cover administrative, case-related costs. $883,00 had already been transferred to cover employees’ salaries and health care, and the trustee has been authorized to sell assets to recoup lost investor funds.

Richard Bernard, the trustees’ rep, said that “This is the first step of many to recover assets.”

Progress is good, but it’s sad to think about all of Bacon’s hard-earned Footloose cash going down the drain.

Ice Cream Poo: DNA tests to confirm who is the daddy!

Samantha DeWitt — Wed, 29 Oct 2008 09:24:18 +0000

The story that is gripping the bowels of Australia, just keeps on running. In case you missed it see our previous coverage here. To recap a family was served ice cream with what looked like compounded chocolate, which they allege was shit. All of this took place at the iconic and renowned Coogee Bay Hotel.

Accusations have been traded between the Hotel and the family including industrial sabotage, extortion and that Kevin Bacon may have put the shit in the ice cream, in some sort of weird six degrees of separation defense. Are you keeping up?

Today’s revelation comes from the Australian Food Regulator, which after testing the foreign substance announced that the shit, is really shit or feacal matter to be precise. For real. The authority will do further DNA testing tomorrow to determine whether its an animal or human which produced the “sample”. Apparently the DNA testing will also be able to tell what gender produced it.

The Hotel has declared that it is conducting DNA testing of all its staff to try to rule out that any of them produced the shit that found its way into the bowl of ice cream. It gives a whole new meaning to who’s your daddy!

My favorite revelation of today? That one of the family’s kids was crying and yelling in the restaurant “you made my mum eat poo”. That has got to be the only time its acceptable for a kid to say his mum ate shit.

Kevin Bacon, Poo and Ice Cream

Samantha DeWitt — Mon, 27 Oct 2008 09:13:38 +0000

Poo, ice cream and Kevin Bacon, the story of just who put shit into a family’s ice cream at the Coogee Bay Hotel is gripping Australia. We classily covered the story here yesterday but in case you missed it a family was served what looked like compounded chocolate but was actually faeces, with their free serving of ice cream.

With more twists than an “s” bend here is what broke today:

The ice cream was actually revealed to be gelato. In more interesting news the Hotel held a press conference today, while still serving the free gelato. The Hotel spokesperson alleged the family who was served the excreta, the Whyte family, had “connections” to a rival hotel, implying sabotage.

The Whyte family hit back at claims they tried to “extort” the Hotel for $1 million, and their lawyer said of the claims of competing connections “what is this the six degrees of separation defense?.” The lawyer then went on to ask if Kevin Bacon put the shit in the ice cream.

This probably comes as a surprise to Kevin Bacon, and may well be the first time Kevin Bacon, shit and ice cream have appeared in the same sentence.

So did Kevin do it? We still think it was more likely the girls from 2 girls,1 cup.
