Save Dennis Hopper

Recently filed court papers say the 73-year-old actor-director-artist Dennis Hopper is in irretrievably dire straits. He's destitute from divorce, too frail (barely 100 pounds!) from prostate cancer to undergo continued chemotherapy and unable to earn funds through acting roles. Hopper's film festival is on indefinite hiatus. Meanwhile, his estranged wife says he's profited well over the $45,000 he claims from having sold artwork in recent years; she reportedly refuses to settle for his $5,000-per-month alimony limit. Now he's accused her of stealing artwork. Sounds like someone needs some of Mo'Nique's sugar right about now. [PopEater]
