Mr. Blonde Becomes Mr. Nuts


Michael Madsen got to see a side of the UK that most American tourists don't get a chance to see. Michael Madsen got to see the inside of a mental facility. Seems that Michael may have done just a bit of over medicating and as a result went off in the Dorchester Hotel.

Saturday he checked in with his wife and daughter and everything was just fine. He had just finished shooting a film and this was going to be a chance to relax and unwind. After that it all went downhill. By Sunday he was in a ballroom at the hotel yelling and screaming at guests inside. He had shown up in the ballroom after disturbing all the guests near his hotel room because he and his wife spent the better part of Sunday morning screaming and yelling at each other. I'm sure their daughter never even noticed. When the police finally arrived they found Madsen in a hotel ballroom and had to subdue him before they could cuff him. He had bruises and cuts over his body and was taken to the mental hospital out of concern for his health.

There were no charges filed because there really are never any charges filed in the UK. Is anything a crime there? I know Blaaaaaaake is in jail, but I think that is more of a stupidity thing than any actual crime. He might have also just needed a break from Amy.

Meth will do that to you. I dated a guy that turned into a tweaker and he was seriously delusional when he went on a bender. And mean. Not a good combo.

good lord. after the bill murray and wife revelations the other day, i just ask myself (again) why do these people have children??

so, so selfish.

i believe i've pronounced my enormous love for him a few times over the year+ or so I've been reading cdan...

I hope he gets all the help he needs.

He gets a huge pass from me for being Jimmy in Thelma and Louise. Also, he and Jennifer Tilly were great in that horrible remake of the Getaway (which I guess was a documentary on Kim Basiner and Alec Baldwin's marriage).

anna said...

leslie, you're right about him as jimmy -- could anyone have been any hotter than him, then?

it is a waste.

After having been married to a meth-head for eight years (FINALLY divorced last week - TIME TO CELEBRATE) I can tell you that meth will turn the greatest man into a gutter rat. Hopefully they'll BOTH get the help they need, and be able to help their kids.

Noooooooooooooooooo! Argh, get help and get better! Do not dare go down the path of Sizemore, Madsen!

Oh, and congrats jesse d! :D

What would you like him to be charged with Ent? There's no mention of drug possession. It could have been our quaint catch-all of breach of the peace, but MM would have been released as soon as a lawyer got to the Police station. Sounds like a trip to the mental hospital for assessment/sedation was the best for everyone.

I'm also sad over this. He was dreamy in T&L.

Congrats Jesse D. One word of advice, second marriages rule!

I feel for their child.

I wonder if he/they are the answer to any blind items?

Judi said...

Congrats, Jesse D!!! Well done.
Madsen's had serious addition issues forever. Shame; he's so talented.
