Via Ball Does Not Spread Falsehoods, we learn of the tremendously weird press release issued by Scottie Pippen on Friday. In 2008, Pippen worked a few scenes in “Midgets Vs. Mascots,” which is apparently a movie that exists. It has something to do with little people, so my first guess was that Pippen would have been involved in a scene with Frodo, Sam, and Merry. Because, uh, hobbits, and...oh, forget it.
Scottie Pippen Assaulted By People Much Shorter Than Scottie Pippen
↵In one scene, a gang of little people was to storm off after being angered by something Pippen said. Instead, this happened:
↵↵[...] they basically attacked me, with Gary Coleman apparently climbing on a chair behind me to hit me over the head with a phone (twice).
↵“A short fight ensued before I heard the film’s director yell ‘cut.’ As I recall, some of the Little People were laughing as the director explained that the scene was ‘sort of like an episode of the TV show ‘Punk’d.” At that point, I left quickly without a clear understanding of what was going on.
↵↵Select your film roles with appropriate discretion, you fool of a Took! (Video of the incident, which includes an f-bomb, can be seen here.)
