Celebrity Justice
Carol Channing in "Hello, Robbers!" (Again)

Posted Jan 27th 2008 10:45AM by TMZ Staff

TMZ's favorite talker, Carol Channing, was in a bank in Palm Desert on Friday when it was robbed. What, no diamonds?

Carol told CBS2, "Well, along with a lot of other people, I've been robbed, we just bought a new house. It's really the first house I've ever had and not a hotel. This is our house, and they robbed us." Um, but she was at a bank. O-kay.

The charming Channing -- who turns 87 this week -- was the victim in a robbery last September, when her famous "diamond dress" from "Gentlemen Prefer Blondes," was stolen while she was checking into a Hollywood hotel -- right before she was about to donate it to the Smithsonian. It was eventually found and returned by a homeless man.

7. I read an article about how her husband didn't make love to her for 25 years. Now that a spell. I still think she's funny.

8. She's great! Self-effacing, bawdy and genteel sense of humor while still being "old school". She's a legend, and that is something the adolescents on this site will never be able to wrap their brains around.
