Is Randy Quaid freakin' nuts?

Sounds to me like Randy Quaid (aka Cousin Eddie of the "National Lampoon's Vacation" films) wasn't content to just play a wack job in the movies -- now he's doing it in real life.

Randy and Evi Quaid insist they aren't mentally unstable, using drugs or lying about being pursued by a mysterious and deadly group of celebrity-extorting assassins.

The Quaids – who were arrested last month in Canada and are due in court Tuesday in California after allegedly squatting in and wrecking their former Santa Barbara home – spoke about their fears Monday on ABC's Good Morning America.

"I genuinely feel these people are trying to kill us," Evi Quaid said. "We are refugees … We are Hollywood refugees."

"They follow us, they tail us," Randy Quaid said of the "star whackers" from whom the couple claim to be running. "They tag our cell phone, they hack our computer." He added: "We're not faking it. We're confronting it."

The Oscar-nominated actor, 60, and his wife – who were also previously accused of skipping out on a hotel bill – denied that they were on drugs or mentally unstable. They also said other celebrities could be in danger, including Mel Gibson, Lindsey Lohan and Britney Spears.

Randy Quaid added that it was "very possible that Heath Ledger could have been murdered" by the group, which he said is seeking to make cash by assassinating celebrities.

"It's possible for people to gain control of every facet of your life," he said.

Added Evi Quaid: "They are businessmen. It's the mafia. It's organized crime."

Ummm...yeah. Oooookay.

In a previous interview the Quaids said they were seeking asylum in Canada from "Hollywood star whackers," which would be a GREAT name for a hair/glam band, by the way.

I've been half-heartedly following this story, but yea, it sounds like he's gone off his nut. The wife too. They were blaming the Jews that run Hollywood or something.

Hey Troublemagnet, care to shed some light on this this? Is Randy onto something here? Does he need to be "silenced with extreme prejudice" before he exposes the whole plot?

this should be the poster couple for those seeking to not allow marijuana to be legalized in California...

As a person of Jewish descent, let me tell you that this is absolutely true. A part of my family has been trying to take over the world and ban bacon for the better part of the last 200 years. There IS a worldwide Jewish conspiracy! Believe it comrade!

Taking over the world is all well & good. But when you try and keep me from my bacon, you've got a real problem on your hands my friend. I'm the Charlton Heston of bacon.

You can take away my bacon when you pry it away from my cold, hardened arteries.

Speaking for Pork, just had a McRib from McDonalds!!!!!! So glad to see they are back!!!!!

BACOOOONNNNNNNNNNNN!!!!

Back on topic, I heard now that it was his wife Evi that was coming up with all these crazy stories and Randy is just following her lead.

The Oscar-nominated actor, 60,

Anyone know what role got him nominated for an Oscar? I'm a big Cousin Eddie fan myself, but I don't think the Academy would see it that way.

The movie was 'The Last Detail' but I have never seen it

I'm pretty sure I saw that one a long time ago. So long that I forgot Randy was in it. Good flick though. According to Wiki, Jack Nicholson got an Oscar nom for that film too.

Looking at Randy's resume, I forgot just how many great films he's been in. I tend to think of him as Cousin Eddie, but the guy's got some serious Hollywood credentials.

He's totally off his nut, I think. There's no way you can run around saying stuff like that and be sane. I think he's played so many whackjobs that he can't come out of character anymore.

They're both nuttier than squirrel smurf poo. But, at least it's hilarious

Really though? Whacked?

Quaid and Alec Baldwin would make a nice duo...

I survived the hollywood whackers....randy will too.

All this time I've been trying to get Whacked Off,who knew I had to become a celebrity first!

That IS pretty whacked. However, all Hollywood actors are off there rokcers, just some more than others. I'm most content to watch their movies and whatever they say outside of them I tend to drown out.

I tend to do the same. I despise celebrities who think because they are famous they can tell the rest of us what to do.

Anything is possible i guess... but i have to wonder if Randy and his wife are on drugs?

I will still watch the Vacation movies despite his behaivior. At least his brother is still stable (hopefully, because he's one of my favorite actors).

NL Christmas Vacation is a classic - always watch every year.
