You guys, JEREMY LONDON HAS BEEN KIDNAPPED! From the AP:
PALM SPRINGS, Calif. – A man has pleaded not guilty to kidnapping actor Jeremy London and forcing him to use drugs, the Riverside County district attorney’s office said Thursday.
Brandon Adams, 26, of Palm Springs, remained jailed after being arraigned Tuesday on five charges that include kidnapping and theft, said Michael Jeandron, a district attorney’s spokesman.
A statement from Palm Springs police said London, who appeared on TV’s “7th Heaven” and “Party of Five,” was kidnapped while changing a flat tire on June 10.
The 37-year-old actor told police that several men helped him and he offered them a ride home. Police said one man later pulled a gun, forced London to drive around, buy alcohol and take drugs.
London said he escaped but his car was stolen. Police later found it and on June 11 arrested Adams.
Oh wait. He’s fine. Relax, everybody, Jeremy London is OK! Also, arrested on June 11th? Everyone knows that June 11th was a week ago, right? Did the news have the week off, or something? Why is this only coming to light now? Also, no offense to Jeremy London or his loved ones, but WHAT? Why would a someone (much less “several men”, whatever THAT means) go to all the trouble of helping someone fix his car in order to rob him? Fixing cars is a drag, man! That is some Sawyer-brand long con shit is what that is. And holding a gun to someone’s head and FORCING THEM TO DO DRUGS? What is this, Training Day? King Kong apparently does have shit on Jeremy London. (Oof. TGIF.) Obviously, our prayers are with Jeremy London right now, but this is a weird news story! Grown men! Getting kidnapped in a resort town! Forced to buy alcohol (again, WHAT?) at gunpoint! The guy from Mallrats! I almost typed Jeremy Irons twice!

FIRST!
This is how you get into the Monster’s Ball, right?
I regret nothing.
Also, as an adult, I am always making other adults buy alcohol for me. It’s a nostalgia thing, I guess.
Wrong. This is how you get yourself kidnapped.
If you had been first on June 11th, then that would have been impressive.
Holy smokes! Has Jason London been found yet? He was last seen… somewhere, right? Anyone? Randall “Pink” Floyd?
that was his twin brother jason….this is the mallrats london.
WHUUUUUUUT????
His story sounds eerily close to something I told my parents when they found condoms in my bedroom.
You kidnapped Jeremy London and got him to buy you condoms?
Also, why is Jeremy London wearing a prosthetic mask of his face over his own face?
This is almost as scary as that time Scott Wolf was kidnapped and they stole his kidney.
I’m gonna be the first one to call it, fake! but definitely not gay.
Don’t speak too soon, definitely fake, possibly gay. The Onion AV said they forced him to buy alcohol and distribute it in gang ridden areas. If being a shot girl in gang territory isn’t gay, I’m going to have to throw away that picture of a gay person in my wallet.
Have you not considered the alternative, that this story is really gay?
Or that Palm Springs has a huge gay population?
I think Brandon Adams has been watching season 4 of Six Feet Under…
(And the police chief actually described London as being forced to specifically smoke crack and “purchase booze and hand it out in a gang area of Palm Springs”… it is the little details like those that really make this story come alive).
Ah yes, the “gang area” of Palm Springs, located just beyond the tennis courts and just east of the country club.
I think Jeremy London has been watching Season four of Six Feet Under. As far as I’m concerned, nobody, NOBODY, steals David Fisher’s story arc and gets away with it!
I hate that episode so much. That is all.
(Good comment, That One!)
I was just going to make this comment! it’s soooo like when Lucas from House kidnapped and tortured Dexter.
I was doubting this story until Gabe mentioned that he almost typed Jeremy Irons, who I very well might kidnap and force to do drugs with me. I wouldn’t, because I fear jail and because DARE was particularly effective in my case (cocaine kills everyone who looks at it, right? That must be how drugs work). So I have to admit I can understand the compulsion. Maybe these guys are just huge Jeremy London fans! Clearly, he should be flattered!!! Chin up, Jeremy London! No one has ever kidnapped Jeremy Irons. You must be the best.
A similar thing happened to British actor Jeremy Lorry. (TGIF indeed)
Lindsay Lohan is so pissed she didn’t think of this first.
“No offense taken, this is some weird shit”
- Jeremy London or his loved ones
Party of DIE-ve. (Sorry.)
I care Shirley! This is Jeremy London we’re talking about.
Jeremy London is no Jason London.
damn it, supposed to be a reply to shellbomber!
Who cares? I know a site where re-animated corpses of Hollywood actors can meet younger single women. Sure, she’s still alive and only 20, but LOLOLOLOL forever, amirite?
Also, the reply button is broken.
This was a reply to one of those WHO CARES spam comments that has since been deleted. I swear.
She just posted on the Ebert thread. If you could somehow move your comment over, then it wouldn’t look out of place. But for that, you would need to believe in miracles.
That was supposed to be a reply to Shellbomber, but this reply won’t reply either, I’m sure.
“Turns out kidnapping Jeremy London is not the best way to get Jessica Biel to marry me.” -Brandon Adams
anyone else thinking of that episode of the upright citizens brigade where the kid keeps faking his own kidnapping to beat his curfew? did one of the guys shit on jeremy london, cause that’s part of the m.o.
maybe they meant to take his brother…
Junkies say the darndest things!
Fuck! This was supposed to a reply to– Nope. Never mind.
Someone needs to take those kidnappers to kidnapper school. Who kidnaps someone, takes them on a few hijinks, and then just drops them back off at their car? I kind of hope they get sent to jail so they can learn how to be more effective.
Jeremy Irons has been in some great movies.
Please be safe out there everyone! If you ever, ever find yourself in the same situation, there is only one way out of it.
I think the real news story here is that Jeremy London is turning into Brendan Fraser.
Quick, someone post the clapping gif!
Agreed, that little number gets my “vote” for best comment of the year indeed. (I don’t do these voting things that you guys are so obsessed with, hence the quotes around the word vote).
When I was 7 and a child in the DARE program, I was absolutely positive that people were always being kidnapped and forced to do drugs against their will. That was seriously my biggest fear.
Until I read this commentator thread I had no idea that Jeremy/Jason London was(are?) two people, twins. I always just assumed the Mall Rats boy was the same person as the Dazed and Confused boy. I guess I never bothered to investigate these matters because in that boy’s (those boys’?) hey day he(they?) were gorgeous enough to challenge my perfect and unblemished record of staunch heterosexuality. More like Dazed and Sexually Confused. Paul Newman also would have had this power over me. Luckily he died. No harm, no foul, bro.
They were pretty?
I upvote you both for charming vulnerability and good taste.
would a wooderson quote be too much of a stretch here because i’ve been holding onto them for a long time and i’m fitting to burst?
This is not a reply to anyone. This is just a comment. This is not spam. Have a lovely weekend.
This is like the Chappelle’s Show skit where Wayne Brady gets ahold of Dave and drives him around picking up hookers and killing guys and then Wayne forces him to take PCP.
