OSCAR NOMINATED ACTOR RANDY QUAID AND HIS WIFE ON THE RUN!

The exploits of Oscar-nominated actor Randy Quaid and his wife Evi have taken a turn that's bizarre even by Hollywood standards as the couple seek asylum in Canada, claiming they fear for their lives.

The increasingly eccentric duo, who are wanted in California for allegedly skipping out on a hefty hotel bill and for vandalizing a house they once owned, fled north of the border earlier this month and are now claiming they are targets of a mysterious clan that they believe murdered actors Heath Ledger and David Carradine. (Ledger died of a drug overdose in 2008 and Carradine was found dead, apparently from accidental asphyxiation, last year.)

"Hollywood is murdering its movie stars," Evi Quaid said in Vancouver last week. She and Randy Quaid had been released on $10,000 bail following their arrest in Vancouver on outstanding warrants from California.
