As of today, April 23, 2019 I have been banned from posting on the Doom Patrol subreddit. What were my crimes? I don't know. Apparently, they don't bother to tell you, but presumably they were : 1) I posted the link to the blog. Specifically, The Voiceover Artiste page after someone commented that B should do more voiceover work. I thought I was "helping" them by doing so😏. 2) Someone else commented that B was "nervous" in the Today Show interview (he wasn't). I replied "Gee, I wonder why" simply alluding to the fallout from previous interviews. 3) A third comment posted the same rambling, disjointed, and skewed "facts" about B's history. I simplyk told them that they were "wrong". I find it amusing😒that Reddit allows the posting of outright lies, half-truths, rumor, innuendo, insults, rampant profanity, vulgarity, and blatant stupidity, but heaven forefend you should correct someone or share an "unpopular" opinion. Am I offended by the ban? No, I actually take it as a great compliment. I don't want to be a member of that "club" and they are not welcome in ours. And in case you weren't aware, we can see who has visited us. You thought you were being sneaky, didn't you ?🤨
It has come to my attention that the bulk of the visitors to this fledgling blog/website are emigrating from these websites. This displeases me,to say the least. My friends and loved ones know me to be a kind and forgiving man,but even I can only be pushed so far before any unkindness or threats to those aforementioned friends and loved ones cannot go unanswered. Therefore, I ask you now to cease and desist in your campaigns ,for lack of a better word, to "save", "help", or in any way further embarrass Brendan Fraser and his family and friends.
CAN you honestly sit there and think that constantly bashing a man, at the same time proclaiming to be his biggest fans and supporters, is alright ? Amusing ? "Helping" him ?
DO you believe that making "fun" of people with diseases, disabilities, and other medical conditions is acceptable is this "politically correct" age ? The terms "autist" "superautist" and "turboautist" (are these even words ???) have been used to describe me due to my supposed "obsessive" knowledge of BRENDAN FRASER'S history. Are you aware that BRENDAN'S eldest son is on THE AUTISM SPECTRUM ??? Are your comments purposely intended then ,or are you actually, ironically ignorant of that fact ? Either way. This will stop.Today.
IS making violent threats towards the mother of Brendan's children, a woman he loved for FOURTEEN YEARS and still maintains a close co-parental relationship with, as well as a great deal of respect for, something that you think he would approve of ? If you do, you could not be more mistaken. A threat to ANYONE in Brendan's inner circle is UNACCEPTABLE. This too,stops. TODAY!!!
THAT DAMNED PETITION at change.org was NOT started by myself or anyone in Brendan's inner circle !!! I have it on good authority than the poster who admitted to starting it emanates from 4chan (Australia) and that he signed my name to it because I am Brendan's "biggest fan". That may be true, but I am also the last person on this earth who would ever embarrass him with such a ridiculous, thoughtless and pointless prank. I have been around the industry long enough to know that that is not the way things work in Hollywood or Bollywood or anywhere in between. If you actually thought signing it would "help" Brendan, you are woefully mistaken. If anything, it has done the opposite. If your actual plan was to humiliate him in front of the industry he has worked so hard to establish himself in over the past TWENTY-EIGHT YEARS !!!, mission accomplished. Brendan does not need anyone's help to obtain work in the entertainment industry. At this point in time, he is working as often as he personally cares to. When and if he decides to increase the frequency of his screen time, he has an agent to make those arrangements for him.
As for the continuing confusion about the alimony, here is the correct information straight from "THE HORSE'S"♐ mouth. Please pass it along -
ALIMONY $50,000 PER MONTH, $600,000 PER YEAR.
IT ENDS : JANUARY 31, 2019. (KNOCK ON WOOD EVERYBODY !!!) IT IS NOT "FOR LIFE".
BRENDAN ALSO PAYS TWO MORTGAGES AND TAXES IN TWO COUNTRIES (THE U.S. AND CANADA AS HE HOLDS DUAL CITIZENSHIP AND HAS TWO PASSPORTS!!!)
ALSO, IT WAS BRENDAN,WHO FILED FOR DIVORCE, NOT AFTON !!! His children were not taken, stolen, kidnapped or kept from him by Afton, he has always been their father, first and foremost.
CHILD SUPPORT: $25,000 PER MONTH, $300,000 PER YEAR. THIS WAS NEVER IN DISPUTE.
TOTAL: A "MERE" $75,000 PER MONTH, $900,000 PER YEAR.
And incidentally, THERE WAS A PRENUP but the CONNECTICUT COURT SYSTEM in their "infinite wisdom" saw fit to throw it out. So let's STOP judging BRENDAN on that and before you flippantly say that this wouldn't happen to you, going to court in "real life" is nothing like it is on L.A. Law, The Practice, or in movies. So until you've walked a mile in the big man's size 13's.......😒 I wanted to clear that up.
And as for swearing off of women for the rest of your life because of getting divorced. 🤨 That's silly. Horses aren't all the same and neither are women. You just need to find the one that fits.
There is also a mistaken belief amongst you that I may be Brendan's estranged brother, Regan. If you knew their history, that would not even cross your mind. Regan is a troubled, jealous, angry person who never misses an opportunity to bash his baby brother. Does that sound like me ? I could not be more insulted than to be compared in any way to him. Enough said.
Except for the post on the Universal Monsters website, I had never posted anywhere but IMDb (YES, I AM THE SAME TheChamCham!!!) under this name which has been MY username for OVER SEVEN YEARS!!! I have a YouTube account under the name TheChamChamofIMDb (because apparently there is a band called The Cham-Cham) I do not have a Twitter, Facebook, 4Chan, account etc.
I have recently joined Reddit but I don't see myself spending a lot of time there. In fact, I was apparently "banned" the first day I was there by the SAVEBRENDAN page by someone calling themselves AccountForXiaomi for being "annoying". I took that to mean my habit of correcting misinformation and downright lies. Some people apparently can't handle the truth. Since people had insisted that I did have an account there, I went to check it out and found TheChamcham (wrong) who although he, (I'm assuming it's a he) has only been posting there for a year (Reminder: I began posting as TheChamCham at IMDb SIX YEARS
ago !!! ) he quite rudely insists that he is TheChamcham 😈 . There are a lot of imposters out there. I don't understand that.
I do not want to have to bolt the door here and require members to have to sign in to visit us, but if the threads and "subs" from the above named sites do not cease, I will do so. If you were waiting for acknowledgement , you have now achieved that and I will kindly ask you to move along.
I visited Reddit recently and tried to make some of these points there but I was very rudely dismissed and I was not even able to register to try to speak to some of you at 4Chan because there is already someone there using my name so I thought it pointless to try. Why anyone would usurp a screen name that they do not even understand, is beyond me. Do you not even have the imagination to think up one of your own ? Apparently not. Nor the guts, judging from the plethora of "Anons" posting there. How ignominious.
RE: The IMDb Photo: Brendan is NOT wearing TWO watches. And the brand of his ⌚ is none of your 🐝🐝🐝 wax. And in fact, it is a very nice watch,as far as he is concerned, and his opinion is the only one that matters on that subject.
And... as far as TheChamCham's supposed "inaccuracies" are concerned, YOU are welcome to come here and be SPECIFIC in your "allegations", but ONLY if you are willing to follow the blog rules (found on the YOU FOUND ME page). Otherwise, please continue to play in your own backyard. Besides, it's next to impossible to be "inaccurate"when you're writing about your own......I'd better not finish that sentence. 😉
And another thing....The name is, and always has been,
B R E N D A N F R A S E R !!!
Dishonorable mentions in no particular order, for recent articles about Brendan go to:
SEVEN DAYS AGO- Life and Style Magazine's Tiffany White for an article entitled Whatever Happened To Brendan Fraser, the Original Chris Pratt?
I don't think there was a single correct "fact" in this entire pseudo article.
$900,000 IN CHILD SUPPORT ??? Come On !!! How many times do I have to correct you guys ??? I'm beginning to think being able to read is not a prerequisite for so-called journalists anymore. I know being able to write isn't!
And I want to be the first to say : Lay off of Chris Pratt. I sincerely think he has been jinxed by people constantly referring to him as "the new Brendan Fraser". Whatever that means ??? What did that get him ? He's headed to divorce court and my heart goes out to him because it looks like he's in for a rough ride. I hope the judge is a Jurassic World/Guardians of the Galaxy fan and not a fan of whatever the soon to be ex-Mrs. Pratt does besides putting on her eye makeup in a personal salute to Raccoons Everywhere. GOOD LUCK CHRIS. I'm afraid you're going to need it,buddy. One thing you can be happy about ? You didn't file in Connecticut !!!
(Apparently, I was wrong about that. Some guys have all the luck😒.)
Only three days after My Tess' post (very popular at the moment !) ---------
we get a new article from the poison pen (or poison keyboard- Yes, I remember when they used to use pens!) pseudo-journalist named Susannah Guthrie from the NewDaily.com.au.
A most confused and misleading piece that starts with comparing a 1991 Brendan with a 2016 Brendan and proceeds to get stupider from there. Here's a bit of information for you, Susie. Unless you're a robot, you will NOT look exactly the same at 23 and 48. Deal with it. Some women prefer a man to a boy. I know mine does !
I suggest you change careers. I think you should raise puppies. Then you could print out your articles and all that wasted paper could serve a greater purpose. Good luck with that.😉
Today, 6/12/2017 we have two more. Another badly written (even after I translated it) little slam piece by Andrea M. Rosa Del Pino from El Mundo entitled "The Shocking Physical Change of Brendan Fraser, the actor of "The Mummy" featuring photos of Brendan "today" ( the picture is actually from a particularly bad day in 2012, but no one cares about that 😥) and 1997 (while filming George of the Jungle) amidst some inaccurate "reporting". Then, a little mishmash of fact and fiction with even older photos by Lara Eguiluz from something called Tikitakas.
Gee, I thought Brendan was popular in Mexico. Did both of these women get dumped by their boyfriends or something ? Why take it out on Brendan ?😕
Does anyone do research anymore ? I don't remember Brendan making a movie called "To the devil with the devil", but oh well,
no one cares about the facts anymore either, right? It's all about the shock value and getting your LOL's. That's swell.😑
And Today's Award for..........
HIGHEST ACHIEVEMENT IN SHAMELESS SELF-PROMOTION goes to...........It's a tie ! Adele Mellish and Ashley Feinberg !!! (Who wants to bet that they're the same person ?) "The Last Pure Place On The Internet" ???Facebook ??? 😆Allow me to dust off an old chestnut when I say.....Oh brother 🙄. It makes me wonder if Brendan ever decided that he DID want to start his own fan page there, if "the powers that be" would accommodate his desire to use his own name, considering that Miss Mellish has appropriated it as her own...🤔. Don't worry, Adele. We like it here just fine and we wouldn't dream of depriving you of your one photo, one link, one sentence "thunder". The article was.....amusing, to say the least.
I hope you enjoyed your five minutes of "fame".
Both Tess and I are proud to count ourselves among the banned for being "better" fans. Miss Mellish was also blocked from my IMDb account for sending me several PM's that more than hinted at wanting me to set up "a little interaction" between her and Brendan, which was of course out of the question. As I told her back then, the last thing Brendan wants or needs is an Afton wannabe. She has disliked me ever since. Gee, I wonder if her boyfriend knows about those PM's. I still have them, if he's interested.
I also took her to task for being rude to My Tess, (which everyone knows is a BIG NO NO !!!) after she simply tried to correct her on wrongly dated photos and other misinformation on her Brendan Fraser Facebook fan page, which exists to this day.

| Adele finally had the chance to meet Brendan in London (2019), but apparently she was left rather disappointed by the experience. I think it's safe to say that the feeling was mutuel. |
You know, I'm a nice guy, so if I'm not nice to you, you really need to ask yourself why. And that includes your "friend" Petra. Two peas in a pod and two of many reasons why Brendan "doesn't have any social media accounts" (And pestering his representatives for a comment about another shlock article is not the way to make points with them or with him.)
Don't believe everything you read on the interweb, kids !
Even less "honorable" mentions:
Joe Robberson of Zimbio for "The Strange Return of Brendan Fraser to Hollywood Relevancy".
Claire McNear of The Ringer for "Let the Brendan Fraser Renaissance Begin".
Nat Berman of TVO for "Brendan Fraser Reacts When true Best Picture Winner GOTJ is
announced at the Oscars".
Looper for "Why Hollywood Won't Cast Brendan Fraser Anymore".
Entertainment.ie for "Whatever Happened to Brendan Fraser".
Nikki Swift for "The Real Reason Hollywood Dumped Brendan Fraser."
AND...... last but not least, Jake Robb, Rusty Jambo and Penguinz0 aka Cr1TiKaL . We are not amused.☹️
You should all keep your day jobs. Whatever those are.
Sincerely,
TheChamCham😉
April 2, 2018- If you've been clicking this post to find updates to this list of recent articles about Brendan written by more pseudo-journalists, neither of us have the time or the interest. Life is far too short and far too nice to bother with that. You know who you are, (actually you probably don't), and I've said all that I have to say on the subject.
