In normal circumstances, I’d have avoided this News of the Weird stuff, but since Criss Angel happens to be some sort of pseudo-celebrity, I thought I’d post this bit and honor my job. So take it. Magician Criss Angel is accused of stealing Jeff Beacher’s cat! Don’t say I didn’t warn you. Now read the details.
Page Six reports that the Las Vegas showman is planning to sue Angel if he fails to return his cat. Beacher’s lawyer, Robert Reynolds, has already sent a mail to Angel, threatening him of punitive damages.
After both of Mr. Beacher’s parents passed away due to cancer [two years ago], his family’s cat (“Hamlet”) was bequeathed to him by will. At the time, Mr. Beacher was residing at the Hard Rock Hotel [in Las Vegas]. Accordingly, he allowed his friend Jennifer Madden to temporarily care for the cat until he moved out of the hotel.
Soon thereafter, while still grieving over the recent loss of his father, my client received a phone call from you stating, ‘I took your cat. He lives with me now’ . . . This action was against the will of Ms. Madden and Mr. Beacher. I also understand that you made further bizarre allegations, including, ‘The cat no longer likes you’ and ‘The cat and I have become close friends.’
Though I was totally aware about Angel’s mental status, I never doubted his character. How can he steal a cat?! But wait, I think there’s some truth in Jeff Beacher’s story. If Angel can steal Hugh Hefner’s bunny (read: Holly Madison), then he can steal Beacher’s cat too!
P.S. I’m not sure if the cat in the picture is Hamlet.
