Ving Rhames has always made good headlines. The actor, who was recently cast to play boxer Sonny Liston in the upcoming film Phantom Punch, even called up actor Jack Lemmon onto Golden Globe’s stage to give away his award. Rhame’s pets, on the other hand, have not been making the best headlines. When the Mission: Impossible actor was out of the country in August, his caretaker Jacob Adams was mauled by the dogs and quickly died. In a statement, Rhames said “Jacob Adams was not just a devoted employee – he was also a dear friend. I want to offer my heartfelt condolences to his family” going on to set the record straight that the “coroner’s report confirmed that my dogs were not the cause” of the death.
Captain Matt Blake of the LAPD made similar findings. He said that Rhames three Mastiffs and one Bull Dog did indeed maul Adams, but found that “there is no solid evidence that they were the cause of death.” This is good news for Rhames, but it did not stop the four animals themselves from making major headlines as our Animal Headliners of 2007.
