Jon Polito Dies; Veteran Actor Was 65

Jon Polito, a veteran actor who was a favorite of The Coen Brothers, died on Thursday night after being taken off life support.

He was 65 years old.

On the big screen, Polito was likely best known for roles in The Big Lebowski and Miller’s Crossing.

But he appeared in over 100 films throughout his impressive career, while also appearing on such hits TV shows as Seinfeld, Modern Family and Homicide: Life on the Streets.

Polito was diagnosed with melanoma in 2008.

He recently suffered an infection following a surgery and reports confirm he slipped into a coma Sunday.

Director John McNaughton then broke the sad news of his passing on Friday morning.

“Jon was a born actor and will be deeply missed by his legion of friends, fans, family and of course his long time partner, Darryl Armbruster to whom I send my condolences,” said McNaughton, adding:

R.I.P. old pal.”

A native of Philadelphia, Polito also counted roles on Broadway as part of his extensive resume.

He stopped by The Late Show with David Letterman on a couple of occasions, as documented in the following reel of Polito’s most memorable moments in comedy:

Jon Polito Comedy Rundown

Comedian Scott Aukerman was one of many to pay tribute to the actor after learning of his death.

This is what Aukerman wrote on Instagram of Polito:

One of the coolest days on Bang Bang recently was when Jon Polito guest starred on our “You Made Your Bed, Now Lie In It” sketch.

As a big fan, I was nervous about how he would feel about being in such a stupid sketch, but the minute he saw me, he laughed and said, “I’ve been watching your show, and you’re a sick twist!”

He spent all day delightfully regaling us with stories about Miller’s Crossing, Barton Fink, and Death of a Salesman.

Then, when the cameras turned on, he slipped into his classic hard-boiled character. A great actor and cool dude! RIP.

Through the years, Polito collaborated with some of the biggest names in Hollywood.

He appeared alongside Marlon Brando in 1990’s The Freshman… worked with directors Tim Burton (Big Eyes) and Clint Eastwood (Flags of Our Fathers) … and played a villain in a pair of 1994 flicks, Blankman and The Crow.

We send our condolences to his friends, family members and loved ones.

Katie Maloney and Tom Schwartz Honeymoon in Bora Bora: See the Pics!

Vanderpump Rules?

More like going on a honeymoon to a tropical location rules for Katie Maloney and Tom Schwartz right about now!

The reality stars got married earlier this month in Northern California, about eight months after they got engaged.

And after exchanging vows in front of family members and friends, Maloney and Schwartz exchanged a few bodily fluids in their honeymoon.

In Bora Bora!

The newlyweds took off for the Indonesian island last weekend and have been happily sharing gorgeous images from their vacation on Instagram ever since. 

There’s the one featured above, of course, which features both stars and water than is bluer than we even knew was possible.

Then there’s one of Tom standing by himself:

Maloney wrote as a caption to this one:

“My husband is looking ffhhhiiiiiiiiinnee!! Honeymooning with my bubba love is dreamy.”

In another social media post, Maloney joked about “a little fishy” – also known as Schwartz wearing flippers – swimming under their bungalow.

Yes, they are staying in a bungalow on the water.

Life ain’t shabby at the moment for Katie and Tom.

Impressively enough, Tom and Katie even managed to get a plug in while on their honeymoon.

“Bora Bora looks especially gorgeous through the lenses of these sunnies,” Katie wrote as a caption at one point, adding:

” @diffeyewear is partners with Eyes on Africa so with every pair of sunglasses sold they donate a pair of reading glasses to someone in need.

“You can look as cute and cheesy as of but using our code TOMANDKATIE and get 25% off! Woohooo.”

Those who watch Vanderpump Rules online have likely seen the two shill for products on the show as well.

Schwartz was at it again after dinner, posting the following picture on Instagram and writing a caption along with it that we’re guessing resulted in a free meal for the couple.

“I’m no foody but without a doubt, just had the best meal of my life,” he penned.

“Thank you #lavillamahana for a world class experience and thank you for @revel9 for setting it up and taking care of us #borabora.”

Hey, we’re not judging!

If we could be comped dinner just by sharing a photo and writing some nice words online, we’d totally do it.

Not sure if we’d invite Stassi Schroede along on our honeymoon, though.

Yup, she apparently crashed the beautiful party, as evidenced by the following photo:

“She was sad so she came to Bora Bora,” joked Maloney as a caption.

We’re guessing her mascara is actually running because Stassi just went swimming.

Maybe Tom and Katie can invite the THG staff along on their next trip. Pretty please!

Chris Brown: Someone is Out to Get Me!

Chris Brown has a bone to pick with Baylee Curran.

According to Baylee Curran, he also has a gun to hold up in her face… but that’s not the focus right now.

Earlier this week, Brown got arrested for assault with a deadly weapon after he allegedly forced Curran out of his home at gunpoint.

The supposed incident took place very early Tuesday morning, around 3 a.m., after Curran and a friend stopped by the singer’s house.

After hanging out harmlessly in the hot tub, Curran told authorities (and then multiple media outlets) that she walked inside and simply took a look at a diamond necklace.

She alleges this set Brown off.

She says he responded by grabbing a weapon and screaming at her to “get the f-ck out.”

From there… well, all kinds of chaos ensued.

Curran called 911. Police responded to the scene. They demanded entry into Brown’s home, but he turned them away.

He chose instead to record himself cursing off the cops on Instagram, while these same cops remained in Brown’s driveway.

He then tossed a duffel bag of guns and drugs out the window, only to later get taken into custody after police obtained a search warrant and, we can only assume, found some kind of assault evidence inside the residence.

Since that time, Brown has been released on $ 250,000 bail, with his attorney telling fans that Brown appreciates their “support and well wishes.”

“Chris is out and well. The allegations against him are demonstrably false #TeamBreezy,” the artist’s attorney added.

Curran has since gone on to wonder why Brown is considered the victim and not her, which is where Brown very clearly disagrees.

Baylee Curran: You Think I Wanted This?!?

TMZ writes that Brown and his team are convinced deputy district attorney Mary Murray is out to get him.

Law enforcement officials tell the site that Murray played a vital role in Brown’s latest arrest, the same Murray who has an interesting history with the star.

Murray prosecuted Brown in the Rihanna assault case back in 2009 and she was also involved in the numerous probation violation hearings in which she asked for jail time for the singer.

She lost each time she asked a judge for this jail time.

According to these TMZ insiders, cops were actually not planning on taking Brown into custody on Tuesday.

The plan instead was to simply conduct an investigation.

But then Murray jumped in and pushed for Brown to be arrested. Right then. Right there. On the spot.

Brown thinks the decision to arrest him was a matter of vengeance, pure and simple.

He says Curran has major credibility problems (she was accused of theft in 2013 and lost a beauty pageant crown this year after nude photos went viral) and that other witnesses have disputed Baylee’s story.

In the past, Brown has referred to Murray as racist in a series of Tweets because she convinced a judge to throw out community service hours he claimed to have completed.

What does the district attorney’s office have to say about these punitive allegations?

Nothing yet. But we have a feeling this story isn’t exactly over yet.

Matt Baier: Oldest Son Gets Girl Pregnant, Moves in With Amber Portwood!

Teen Mom OG star Amber Portwood and controversial fiance Matt Baier now have a kid together … but chillax, it’s not what you think.

And yet, it’s entirely what you’d expect in a different sense.

According to reports, Matt Baier’s oldest son (among many, many kids) has moved in with them … after leaving his pregnant girlfriend!

Chris Baier, 25, allegedly had a fight with his significant other, decided to call up his estranged dad, patch things up and get outta dodge.

“Matt figured it would be a chance for him to look good in the public eye and help his son,” a source told The Ashley’s Reality Roundup.

So he flew Chris, who previously described his dad as evil, out to Indiana, and the younger Baier has been living with them ever since.

Starcasm believes that Chris and his girlfriend had serious troubles before she got pregnant, or right around that time, based on Facebook.

The last positive thing Chris’ South Dakota girlfriend had to say about him was on March 16 when she captioned a photo of Chris with:

“I’m lucky enough to call this man my boyfriend!!!”

After that, well, her updates are less glowing.

Mostly, she posts memes and photos saying things like “I’d Rather Be Alone Than With A Lying Cheater” and “F**k fake relationships.”

Or “Don’t bother confronting a bullsh!tter about their bullsh!tting, they’ll bullsh!t you by talking a lot of bullsh!t and then go right back to their bullsh!tting ways.”

You get the idea. Not exactly cryptic. 

Chris’ girlfriend apparently found out she was pregnant recently, on August 15, and revealed two days later that she’s due on April 12.

She tagged him in both of the sonograms she posted, so it would appear Matt Baier is going to be a grandpa, despite the estrangement.

As for whether you’ll see Chris when you watch Teen Mom OG online? An insider says there’s a good chance, given producers’ goals.

“They are really trying to improve Matt’s public image for the show,” the source says. “They don’t want him to be the ‘bad guy’ anymore.”

“Having Chris appear on some episodes will show viewers that Matt is trying to right his wrongs of the past – well some of them.”

The simple fact that he’s gone out of his way to “be involved in Chris’ life” means insiders “won’t be surprised to see Chris appear.”

Of course … it’s also going to be awkward, given that ditching out on a woman and her baby is kind of Matt’s perceived M.O.

Also, Matt’s son is just one year younger than Amber Portwood, while Matt is 19 years her elder, so there’s that dynamic.

Obviously, it’s enough to cause concern for her fans, already on edge over rumors that Baier has nine kids and Ambs is marrying him.

Asked why he doesn’t support the nine kids he already has by another fan, the mother of Leah responded with a familiar denial:

“What? He doesn’t have 9 kids?? And he doesn’t owe any child support. All the cases were. can’t believe everything you read hun.”

Another fan wasn’t buying it, writing to her:

“Just remember, if u marry Matt n he owes back child support, anything u own n ur income comes into play to make sure he pays.”

Portwood responded that Baier “owes absolutely no child support and all cases have been dropped. He’s not what you guys think he is.”

At that point, Baier baby mama Kelli Nunn chimed in, refuting that, saying, “mine isn’t dropped. #stoplying #beadadtoyourownkids”

Ouch. Just ouch.

Who’s telling the truth? Is Amber canceling her wedding to Matt a harbinger of things to come, or merely the delay she claims it to be?

Can she possibly reconcile everything in this dude’s past, from hitting on Farrah and Jenelle online to his ongoing child support disputes?

Basically, stay tuned for the latest on Chris, and the rest of the skeletons in Matt’s closet, because this isn’t going away anytime soon.

Or at all.
