Vancouver-related celebrity news

Vancouver, even more than Toronto, is the film capital of Canada. Numerous productions have come to Canada because of the difference in dollars and the ability to shoot in all kinds of terrain and weather. In fact, I saw Nicholas Cage in Vancouver in the summer of 2005.

So Denise Richards is in Richmond (a Vancouver suburb) filming a movie, and she is in trouble with the law for throwing laptop computers off a balcony. The laptops apparently belonged to a photographers who was trying to take pictures. The computers struck a 90-year-old woman and a wheelchair-bound 80-year-old woman.

The women suffered minor injuries that didn't require hospitalization. Neither of them are pressing charges. But Richards might still be charged with mischief, including damage to personal property.

It is a reminder that American celebrities, used to being treated like, well, celebrities on American soil, don't always get that luxury on Canadian soil. So just to let you celebrities know, come to Canada. Enjoy the many gifts the country can bring. But be nice, OK.

*Richards is filming a movie with Vancouver native Pam Anderson. In much sadder Vancouver-related celebrity news, according to US Weekly, Anderson suffered a miscarriage. She is married to Kid Rock.
