Add Randy Quaid and his wife Evi to the dog-pile of crazy Hollywood cautionary tales that are filling the tabloid news of late:

Lindsay Lohan is caught back on the goofballs, back to AA for her. Paris Hilton skates in Las Vegas in the curious case of the borrowed Cocaine-filled Chanel handbag, Shelley Malil, comedic actor in "The 40 Year Old Virgin" put away in prison, guilty of attempted murder for stabbing his girlfriend 20 times ‘by mistake.’ John Travolta's alleged gay double life he has hid for years because his preferred cult deity Xenu forbids it, Justin Bieber hanging out at Hooters, Ashton Kutcher's alleged infidelity and war with Star magazine, and Joaquin Phoenix wasting everybody's time, and his own life, for the last two years playing "cuckoo-crazy, table for one" in a mockumentary no one cares about.
Well, the Quaids bring it B-list, Bonnie and Clyde-style, and were arrested Saturday and charged with felony residential burglary after the new owner of a home in Montecito that the Quaids once owned discovered the couple squatting in a guest house on the property.
Santa Barbara Sheriff's deputies were called to the scene twice, and in the second visit that evening, they found Randy and Evi Quaid, who told authorities they had owned the property since the 1990s, according to the Sheriff's Department Web site.
The owner said nay nay and showed his proof of ownership, which netted an arrest on the spot for the actor and his wife.
Also a contractor who had worked on the property showed deputies that that more than $5,000 in damages – allegedly caused by the Quaids – had occurred in the guesthouse.
Randy Quaid, 59, went without incident but his wife Evi, 47, put up a fight.
According to TMZ, the couple were booked into Santa Barbara County jail and face charges of felony residential burglary and misdemeanor entering a non-commercial building without consent. Bail was set at $50,000 each.
