Haley Joel Osment Crashes His Car 


Osment == a $2000 beater car
As reported on cnn.com Haley Joel Osment, former child movie star and screen icon, managed to drive his car into a roadside obstacle.

"Osment, who was nominated for an Academy Award for his role as a boy who could see dead people in "The Sixth Sense," was driving a 1995 Saturn about 1 a.m. when the car collided with a brick pillar and flipped, said Los Angeles County sheriff's Lt. Greg Sisneros."

It's a stroke of luck that H.J. managed to avoid serious injury, and it's refreshing to hear that this accident wasn't the end result of alcohol or substance abuse (at least according to initial reports), but I have one question...why is Osment driving around in a $2000 1995 Saturn? Did he manage to burn through all of the money he earned as a child actor? Were his finances somehow mismanaged or misappropriated? Has Haley hit rock bottom?

Perhaps is just a case of Mr. Osment not being much of a car guy...

UPDATE 8.17.06: Looks like I spoke too soon. It appears that HJO was driving drunk and stoned out of his gourd when he plowed into a mailbox and flipped his Saturn. Props to CNN for breaking this
