'Star whackers' who 'killed Ledger' will get us next, says asylum-seeking Quaid

Actor Randy Quaid told Canada's immigration board that he and his wife are seeking asylum from "the murderers of Hollywood" and will therefore apply for refugee status in Canada, after they were arrested on US warrants related to vandalism charges.

The pair were arrested on Thursday afternoon in a shopping area of an affluent Vancouver neighbourhood and were jailed on outstanding US warrants.
