Not Your Father’s Puddin’ Pops

“Amid allegations of witchcraft, Hollywood superstar Bill Cosby has evicted a longtime friend, the ex-wife of basketball legend Guy Rodgers, from Cosby’s Elkins Park estate, which she had overseen for 19 years,” The Philadelphia Daily News reports.

“Gladys Rodgers said Cosby and his spiritual adviser accused her of using blood, sparkles and other items in bizarre witch rituals to gain control over the Philly-bred comedian. Rodgers says she is a Methodist.”

After a three-day standoff, Gladys Rodgers left the perfectly groomed, wooded 5-acre estate Saturday afternoon under the watchful eye of private security men.

An attempt to evict Rodgers on Thursday failed when Cheltenham Township police intervened and found ‘the paperwork was not legally binding,’ according to police.

Rodgers, 62, whose late ex-husband was two years ahead of Cosby at Temple University and is in the Big 5 Hall of Fame, oversaw the estate, its maintenance and its staff. She’d lived there since the Cosbys purchased it in 1983 from Eugene F. ‘Fitz’ Dixon, then-owner of the Philadelphia 76ers.

She said that she never received a salary but that Cosby promised she could always live there.

Wow! Purple-robed lamas? Magic amulets? Inquisitions? Withcraft? Sounds to me like a job for Leonard Part 6.

    Whoa.

    I’m losing track of the neighborhood. That’s just a few minutes from my house, and this is the first I’ve heard of it.

    And Methodists using sparkles. Who knew?

    Aren’t “sparkles” what Mr. Conductor uses to teleport from Shining Time to the Island of Sodor and back?

  2. Jeff G says:

    You’re thinking of Crank.  Or is it LSD?

  3. Mac says:

    That depends on whether we’re talkin the George Carlin “Mr. Conductor” or the Alec Baldwin “Mr. Conductor”.

  4. Boss says:

    Actually Ringo Starr “Mr. Conductor” came first, and HE was the one with the sprinkles.
