Death is going around these days. In addition to the shocking loss of 157 year-old Utah President Gordon Hinckley, undoubtedly due to the devil, and the passing of Heath Ledger due to God's anger at him playing a gay man in a movie, we now receive word that Chere Rhodes, the 30 year-old girlfriend of Max Baer Jr has died, apparently of suicide. CNN.com says:
Baer, 70, an entrepreneur who played "Jethro" in the 1960s "Hillbillies" series, summoned authorities to his Lake Tahoe home last Thursday after he found Rhodes with a single gunshot wound to the chest, Halsey said.
"She was conscious on the scene and told [officers] that it was a self-attempted suicide," Halsey said. "There was a suicide note as well, which substantiated her statement." He said the handwritten note cited "relationship problems." She was flown by helicopter to Renown Regional Medical Center in Reno, Nevada, and placed on life support. Her family took her off life support Sunday.
Baer, son of Max Baer, the heavyweight champion of the 1930s, has lived at Lake Tahoe for years. He's currently trying to build a hotel-casino in northern Douglas County that would include a signature oil derrick evoking the "Hillbillies" sitcom theme of dimwitted Jethro Bodine, played by Baer, and other members of his family striking oil.
Fighting hard for attention alongside this story, Tempest Bledsoe is bringing back her talk show, Dexy's Midnight Runners has announced a reunion tour, and my grandma queefed.

Look at this guy he looks like a Burt Reynolds or Wayne Newton impersonator. Check out that track suit with the fanny pack worn in the front. He has got the washed up shitty former actor look dialed up a notch. The last time I saw that look was at the wedding of my brother and sister-in-law. My brother-in-law had an uncle show up looking just like that. This guy wore that same get up to his nephews wedding; it was his ‘Sunday Best’. I guess when you are a meth addicted compulsive gambler who lives in Elko Nevada that is what passes for wedding clothes. What is Jethro’s excuse?
Crazy story about his girlfriend, can you see this guy as that whole thing unfolded. “Please God keep her alive until the police get here…(moans from girlfriend who wanted to kill herself but was too stupid to shoot herself in the head heard in the background)..c’mon honey. I know we had some tough times but I need you to hang on so you can tell the cops I did not shoot you.”
What about this fine quote "She was conscious on the scene and told [officers] that it was a self-attempted suicide," Halsey said. It was a “self-attempted suicide” is there any other kind of suicide? This is really a crazy story Dude, I am glad you put it up. Does this guy have a book out? I would really like to know if anyone on that show ever nailed Ellie-May out by the cement pond. What about Mr. Drisedales’ assistant? How come she does not get any credit for being the first lesbian on a successful TV show?
