Midwest Town Worried About ‘Armed & Famous’ Celebs

While they are accompanied by real police offers, residents of the town are worried that the show will tarnish their reputation. And who wouldn’t be worried? The celebrities include Erik Estrada (who came the closest of the other celebs when he played a cop on CHiPs), La Toya Jackson, Jack Osbourne, wrestler Trish Stratus, and Jackass star “Wee Man.” The show hasn’t received much love from critics either, with New York Post critic Linda Stasi saying, “Maybe they should have called it Armed & Stupid.” The highlight for Stasi was when the stars had to be hit with a 50,000 volt Taser stungun. Hmmm, maybe they should make a reality show out tasering celebs.
