A judge has ruled against Anne Heche and awarded physical custody of their five-year-old son, Homer to her estranged husband Coley Laffoon. It's a sad situation when a parent loses custody of a child, but sometimes, as in the case of Heche and Laffoon, the only person everyone is certain to sympathize with is Homer. At this point I'm even rooting for Larry Birkhead to come in and save that little boy from these two nutjobs.
The battle between the Men In Trees star and her unemployed ex had gotten increasingly hostile lately, with Heche bemoaning her baby caring duties and Laffoon firing back with accusations of inferior sandwich-making. Oh, and then there's Laffoon's porn.
I do feel bad for Heche since as a mother I can't imagine losing custody of my child, but I'm sure her bizarre past and the fact that she never hesitated to publicize it didn't help. Perhaps she shouldn't have come out with a book called Call Me Crazy, where she discusses her alter ego, 'Celestia' that was the daughter of God and half-sibling of Jesus, who had contacts with extraterrestrial life forms.
Let's face it - it would be like me admitting that I dressed up like Glenn Close in Fatal Attraction and parboiled a bunny just to get my husband to marry me. Damn that wig was itchy.
I'm sure this isn't the end of the fight. There'll be lots more mud-slinging between Heche and Laffoon, with poor Homer caught in the middle. Let's just hope they turn off their Cinemax and come down from outer space long enough to look at who's really suffering through all of this.
