What the hell? Someone took out a hit on Jon Cryer?
We’re apparently a bit late on reporting this, but TMZ—which is becoming an alarmingly accurate source for newsgathering these days, in the same topsy-turvy world where the National Enquirer actually considered applying for a Pulitzer—has been diligently following an alleged murder plot against actor Jon Cryer by his ex-wife, one so serious that the FBI is now involved. Cryer and his ex, the (unfortunately named, considering) Sarah Trigger, have been going at it in a nasty custody battle for a while now, and last week’s taping of Two And A Half Sitcom Contrivances Per Episode was reportedly disrupted (pause for sarcastic expression of disappointment) when a “significant threat” was made to Cryer’s safety, forcing the show to tape without its studio audience. Fortunately, it was one of the more dramatic episodes of the series, concerning the tragic and sudden death of Col. Blake over the Sea of Japan. But still, disruptive.
