Cheeta Update (Scandal Edition)

Cheeta the Chimp: The latest celebrity scandal? | PopWatch Blog | EW.com: "Today, however, the Los Angeles Times published a story that has rocked the celebrity-animal world, suggesting that this particular chimpanzee, who has earned legions of fans around the world and whose 'ape-stract' paintings sell online for $135 a pop, may not be who everyone believes he is. In fact, according to an author whose research the Times cites, he's most likely a roughly 50-year-old chimp who has never been in any movies whatsoever. Cheeta's trainer, Dan Westfall, has refused to comment on the allegation -- and, whatever the truth may be, it should be said that Westfall is a nice man who has selflessly devoted himself to caring for elderly primates."
