I'll take Willie Aames for the block!
All those Charles in Charge and Eight is Enough residual checks can only last so long. Casualty of the '80s, er, I mean, former dignified TV actor Willie Aames turned to selling memorabilia and other things at his Kansas home yesterday to pay off outstanding debt. I guess cocaine was valued at $10,000 a gram back in the '80s. Aames, who played Scott Baio's sidekick on Charles, also tried to sell some things that will definitely sell at a Michael Jackson garage sale.
Other items up for grabs included a plush leather couch, artwork, a piano, a lion head mounted on an oak pedestal, stuffed wild boars and a TV set. [Kansas City Star]
I actually feel bad for the Aameser. The dude is a born-again Christian who kicked his drug and alcohol addiction in the '90s. He also battled the bulge -- remember him on VH1's Celebrity Fit Club? He also tried killing himself last year when he declared bankruptcy and after his wife of over two decades left him. Shit's all fucked up for Willie. There's nothing that can cheer this situation up. Wait, maybe there is...
If that shit don't cheer you up, then you have no heart for great '80s television, you devil person!
