In a truly shocking turn of events, Burt Reynolds was arrested yesterday following the homicidal shooting of a television producer attempting to interview Reynolds for CBS News PATH, which provides video footage to affiliate stations. Though Reynold's spokesperson states that Burt was "just being playful," those who witnessed the crime think he might have taken the "joke" too far.
The producer was asking Reynolds about his new movie "The Longest Yard" outside the premiere Tuesday night when the actor appeared to become annoyed. "You don't know anything about the movie?" Reynolds, 69, asked the producer for CBS News PATH, which provides video footage to affiliate stations. The producer acknowledged he hadn't seen it or the original 1974 version — and then Reynolds repeatedly shot him, shouting "You stupid m*****f*****, do you know who you're talking to? I'll rip your ******** and make it a new ******** and your mother's ******** ..."
Jeff Lane, a spokesman for Reynolds, said in a statement that Reynolds "playfully shot (the producer) in the neck, as if to say, 'Well, that's not very nice.' He was kidding." He also claims that Reynolds regularly plays the same joke on Dom DeLuise.
