I Never Saw This
I know it was the holidays and everything, but I never saw that Willie Aames tried to kill himself over Thanksgiving. In the latest issue of Star he talks about it, and I don't ever remember it coming up in the news. If you are Mary Kate Olsen you get in a million newspapers if you tap a bumper of another car on the way out of a parking lot. If you are Willie Aames and your wife leaves you, you declare bankruptcy and then cut your throat in six places trying to kill yourself and no one even notices it has to be a bit of a shock.
Apparently after his wife left he decided to come to LA and he rented a room. I'm guessing he was hoping Scott Baio would get his show picked up again and give Willie a job. Either that or he maybe could get a gig on some other VH-1 show. Never let it be said that Viacom doesn't give to charity because they are basically supporting a dozen out of work actors and actresses by continually casting them in whatever degrading reality show they can come up with next.
I watched Celebrity Fit Club the first time he was on that show and he needed some professional help even at that time. I remember when Harvey aka Mr. Kimberly Locke, actually flew to Kansas and confronted Willie and I thought one of them was going to get shot right then. And it was probably edited to make it less scary than it was in reality. I'm glad Star noticed at least and hopefully they slipped Willie some money and gave him Scott's address.

Six times?!? Wow. I mean, Eight is Enough..but not six!
omg Ror, you are going to hell.
save me a seat.
Willie needs Charles in Charge of him. Anyway, a few years back Willie found Jesus and created the Christian superhero Bibleman. I think he needs to look for Jesus again.
Who Saves the Bibleman?
Her name is Crystal, and she's a bit of a Queen.
I can see how someone who lost everything and in desperate need of some press would be pissed if they tried to 'kill' themselves and no one noticed. How do you cut yourself six times in the neck and not die? Sounds like he wasn't trying hard enough. If it were serious he wouldn't be talking to Star about it months later.
I watched Celebrity Fit Club too and it was painful how crazy everyone was.
"Six times?!? Wow. I mean, Eight is Enough..but not six!"
Heehee! Hilarious!
But seriously, I did watch that season of Fit Club and there was something definitely wrong. I mean, how can Bibleman basically threaten to shoot someone?
Cry for attention at best. You can kill yourself real quick like by cutting into your internal carotid artery. It's very close to the surface so he must suck with a knife, anatomy as well as life. Now that he is back in LA, I wonder if he is going to pick up Nicholas (Adam Rich) and go on a bender.
What happened to his money from the shows?
Very sad news. I saw the Fit Clubs with him in it and yah, he needed help bad. I hope he's getting it. Wasn't much of a WA fan in my teenbopper days, but he seemed like a nice guy then.
he came into my mom's office once, back in the eighties (and somebody else, i think from his band), and she said he was nice.
but how does he go from bibleman to attempted suicide?
they DO say that a failed attempt is mostly a cry for help, and i hope that's what it was, rather than a cry for publicity. eh, i thought he was cute back in the day.
and i wondered why he wasn't on baio's "getting married" show, they were always thick as thieves.
