Tom Sizemore: From Crack To Crackberries

11249520tomsizemore319200952839pm

According to Wikipedia, and I find this so hard to believe, Tom Sizemore has six movies being released in 2009.  I can only imagine how quality they are.  But work is money and I predict that Sizemore is going to need a lot of it to pay for his defense for the newest in a long string of Tom Sizemore trials.

Tom Sizemore’s parole obligation stemming from previous crack charges ended in January 2009.  Looks like he’ll be back at it, and by “it” I mean “jail”,  now that he is under investigation for being the (alleged!) ringleader in a cell-phone heist.  An L.A. Verizon Wireless store claims to have security video of Tom and another man stealing a stash of phones including a Verizon employee phone.

Tom’s exhausted and overworked lawyer released a statement that obviously took careful consideration to craft:  “He’s innocent until proven guilty.”

  • How do you steal a “stash of phones” from a Verizon Wireless store? Don’t they usually keep these pretty well locked up? I’d like to think that this accusation is false considering that Mr. Sizemore has shown himself to be such an upstanding citizen, hanging out with Heide Fleiss, having a really bad crack habit, and filming a really really bad home-made porno; but then again, who the hell would fabricate a story about a celebrity stealing cell phones out of a retail store? He should indefinitely be sentenced to wearing a t-shirt that says “I’m with Fuckup” with an arrow pointing upwards.

    • every store i’ve been in either has phones in a glass display case or dummy phones on a cable. There is actually a live touch screen phone where I work and has a cover and is screwed in place (but you can send and receive texts from it)

  • This guy used to be talented and worth watching in almost anything. I imagine watching him steal cell phones was pretty entertaining, and too bad he didn’t film himself pulling off that heist. Probably would have been more worthy of our viewing time than Shooting Sizemore.

    More shocking than the upcoming films is his age. He hasn’t looked like he was 44 for over 10 years!

  • Phones are usually behind or in a counter. This one might prove to be something of a non story. Seems strange to me that a man with no previous history of theft or shoplifting decided to go on a cell phone stealing spree. When this shakes out, I believe it will be a guy at a store looking to buy a cell phone.
