Films in which Steve Guttenberg is a fat, bald recovering cancer patient who cannot get laid but manages to metamorphosise into a mullet haired hunk that comes to the rescue of the girl of his dreams

Not that I've seen this movie, though.

Didn't Shelley Long do a movie where she had a sex scene with Tom Cruise? Did she get nekkid? She was kinda cute in her day. Outrageous Fortune blew chunks tho.

PS - they retitled this for DVD...

The Long/Cruise collaboration would be Losin' It.

November 26, 2004

Beautiful actress, model, and comedian Shelley Long attempted suicide on November 16, 2004, by taking an overdose of painkillers.

She was taken to the UCLA Medical Center, where she stayed for a week, and was released on November 23, 2004.

Shelley had been suffering from depression since the breakup of her 23-year marriage to Bruce Tyson.

She is 55.

"She's OK," said Tyson. He also said that he was optimistic about Shelley's future but did not want to discuss the matter any further.

Shelley met her husband on a blind date in 1979, and the two have a 19-year-old daughter.

The couple is now divorcing and she is living alone. (Shelley had to move out of their Hollywood home after it was sold because of divorce proceedings.)

“For 18 months she’s been getting more and more depressed. It’s like seeing someone falling off of a cliff,” a friend said. “She felt like she had nothing to live for.”

Shelley also became reclusive and lost a significant amount of weight.

"She stayed in bed a lot and never wanted to eat," said one friend.

“A week ago, Shelley, who lives alone, kept the curtains drawn,” said another friend. “She wasn’t eating. She has always been thin, but she was almost skeletal.”

"The last time I saw Shelley, I couldn't believe how much weight she had lost," said another friend. "She is so thin. And she never seems happy anymore. She just doesn't look like herself."

"It is very sad to see this beautiful woman, who is only 55, looking like she is turning 90," said another friend.

Eddie Doyle, the bartender at the Bull & Finch Pub in Boston, which was the bar that "Cheers" was based on, said: "I'm just really surprised and hope she's going to be all right."

Shelley's manager, Martin Mickelson, in an apparent attempt to cover up the suicide attempt, said: "[Shelley] took an extra pain pill for an injury she sustained on her back several years ago when she slipped on the set of 'Cheers.' She had a bad reaction to the extra pill and went to the hospital...but she is now home and she is fine. She had a nice Thanksgiving."

When asked if Shelley was depressed or attempted suicide, Mickelson would not comment.

"Disney's developing 'Three Men and a Bride.' That's going to be a smash. A smash hit. They're bringing everybody back for that. Nobody knows about it. I'm the first to talk about it."

"It's definitely time for another 'Police Academy'," he said. "And I think they could make another 'Cocoon.' They're surefire hits and I think they're good for the world. They make the world a better place and that's what it's all about."

"Sure, I'm gonna be in the Short Circuit remake! Absolutely! Ally? No...she, uh, she's got a lot of other stuff on her plate, from what I hear. But Johnny 5 is back and better than ever! What's that? Oh, um, yeah...the rumor that I'm playing Johnny 5 is true. Hmm? Uh, no, it'll mostly be silver body paint and some coffee cans. I understand that there'll be some CGI in post, if we can afford it. But this, my friend, is just what the people have been clamoring for!"

Doesn't everyone remember "Don't Tell Her It's Me" for Steve Guttenberg's NEW ZEALAND accent (because he is playing a BIKER FROM NEW ZEALAND)?
