Letters From Celebrities Behind Bars

Posted Sep 6th 2006 1:12PM by TMZ Staff


What happens when a well-known celebrity is forced to do time behind bars? They get pen pal letters from Thomas Loudamy. The Northern California man has greeted just about every single high profile jailbird with a note, and what's even more impressive is that the stars actually write back. His star-studded list of correspondents includes former survivor champ Richard Hatch and domestic goddess Martha Stewart. Loudamy has also sent letters to more infamous prisoners like Richard Ramirez, Charles Manson and Andrea Yates.

Most recently, Loudamy received a missive from Richard Hatch and TMZ has a copy of the handwritten reply letter. Hatch responds with a simple "thanks for your kind sentiments" but is too busy writing his husband and family to be a regular pen pal.

The Z List: This Week's Biggest Losers

Posted Aug 12th 2006 6:00AM by TMZ Staff

Our latest edition of zeitgeist-less Zoners turns out to be an all-male revue. But unlike the gyrations of the Chippendale's gang, the shakes and shimmies of this bunch merit far less than a crumpled up wad of dollar bills. More like a couple of unvarnished wooden nickels.

Val Kilmer: The headline in the UK tabloid read "Val Kilmer Goes from Batman to Fatman." The accompanying photo of the 45-year-old actor, taken on a L.A. area beach, looked like a still from the never-made action movie, Top Gut. And the online reader comments included such observations as, "Great, now I look like a movie star" (John, Spain). But where Kilmer really stumbled was in having his PR reps take on this bit of folly with a straight face, telling the New York Post's Page Six, "Anybody can take an unflattering photo of a human being. It's a mean-spirited thing to do." Double boo hoo! So great as the snarky Gay Perry in Kiss Kiss, Bang Bang, Kilmer should have rolled with it and suggested instead that it was all part of his method preparation for playing a paparazzi photographer.

Richard Hatch in the (Not So) Buff Again

Posted Jul 17th 2006 2:31PM by TMZ Staff

Richard HatchFormer "Survivor" winner and current convicted felon Richard Hatch bares it all in a new independent film.

Hatch who famously went au naturel on the first season of "Survivor" is once again exposing his family jewels in the new film "Another Gay Movie."

Whereas pixelation saved viewers from the full horror on television, moviegoers will have to endure the sight of the full-figured 45-year-old in all his naked glory.

At the movie's L.A. premiere on Saturday at the Outfest film festival, patrons shrieked and gasped during Hatch's full-frontal nude scene.

"Another Gay Movie", which opens July 28, is a parody of teen sex comedies like "American Pie" and "Porkys" but with a gay twist. The film also features (clothed) appearances by British talk show host Graham Norton and Ant from "Last Comic Standing."

Hatch is currently playing a different game of 'Survivor' now that he's serving a 51 month sentence in a federal prison for tax evasion.

Here's hoping -- for his own good -- that Hatch's jailhouse fashion choices are going down the Martha Stewart poncho route rather than his usual birthday suit ways.

'Survivor's' Richard Hatch Found Guilty

Posted Jan 25th 2006 1:28PM by TMZ Staff

Richard Hatch, who won $1 million in the first season of "Survivor," was found guilty Wednesday of failing to pay taxes on his winnings.


Hatch was handcuffed and taken into custody after U.S. District Judge Ernest Torres said he was a potential flight risk.

He also was convicted of evading taxes on $327,000 he earned as co-host of a Boston radio show and $28,000 in rent on property he owned. He was acquitted of seven bank, mail and wire fraud charges.

Hatch, 44, faces up to 13 years in prison and a fine of $600,000. Sentencing was scheduled for April 28.

Jurors deliberated for less than a day after more than a week of testimony.

Besides the tax charges, prosecutors accused Hatch of using money donated to his charitable foundation, Horizon Bound, an outdoors program he planned to open for troubled youth. He allegedly spent the money on expenses including tips to a limousine driver, dry cleaning and tens of thousands of dollars on improvements to a house he owned.

Near the end of the trial, an explanation for Hatch's failure to pay taxes was raised by his lawyer -- but never mentioned in the jury's presence. Hatch's lawyer, Michael Minns, said Hatch caught fellow contestants cheating and struck a deal with the show's producers to pay his taxes if he won. But Hatch was never asked about the allegation when he testified.

Jurors Begin Deliberating in Richard Hatch Trial

Posted Jan 24th 2006 2:42PM by TMZ Staff

By RAY HENRY, ASSOCIATED PRESS WRITER

"Survivor" Richard Hatch, who swayed his fellow contestants to award him a $1 million prize during the hit show's first season, is now facing a different sort of deliberations.

On Tuesday, the jurors in Hatch's federal tax fraud trial began weighing whether Hatch willfully failed to pay taxes on that prize money.

Hatch is charged with 10 counts, including bank, mail and wire fraud and tax evasion, and faces a maximum 73 years in prison and millions of dollars in fines if convicted of all of them. He is also accused of failing to pay taxes on hundreds of thousands of dollars of other income, and of using donations meant for a now-defunct charity on personal expenses.

Jurors concluded the day without a verdict after deliberating for a few hours, and were scheduled to resume Wednesday morning.

During closing arguments earlier Tuesday, Hatch's attorney said his client was simply a bumbling bookkeeper who was not qualified to handle so much money.

But Assistant U.S. Attorney Andrew Reich told jurors that Hatch didn't pay taxes on the $1 million he won because he was greedy. He said Hatch filed a tax return that omitted the winnings, despite promising his accountant that he wouldn't.
