Update -Christopher Walken NOT running for president
2005-08-16
A Web site announcing Hollywood actor Christopher Walken plans to seek the U.S. presidency is a hoax, his publicist says.

The site, walken2008.com claims to quote the actor as saying, It's time to get America back on track, and says he will run for the nation's top post in 2008.

But his rep told Entertainment Tonight Monday that the sit is 100 percent not true.

(It) sounds like someone got a little too excited over his role as secretary of the Treasury in 'The Wedding Crashers' and now they want to make him president, the rep said.

Thank Goodness....

#7  I am SO GLAD my loving image of all Walken's done in a fantastic career is not going to be undermined by this. He's a national treasure, like Robert Duvall and Morgan Freeman and Clint - keep the politics to yourself! I truly see his name on the cast and know his part, no matter teh rest of the show's quality, will be done right.

#6  The way your dad looked at it, this watch was your birthright. He'd be damned if any of the slopes were gonna get their greasy yellow hands on his boy's birthright. So he hid it in the one place he knew he could hide something: his ass. Five long years, he wore this watch up his ass. Then when he died of dysentery, he gave me the watch. I hid this uncomfortable piece of metal up my ass for two years. Then, after seven years, I was sent home to my family. And now, little man, I give the watch to you.

#3  This is bad news. We wanted every twit in Hollywood spending their bucks on their own narcissistic little campaigns instead of giving it to Hills.

#2  So are his lawyers going to send a cease-and-desist order to the site owners?

Just sayin', 's all.
