Come on, I couldn’t pass up the opportunity to write about a C-lister (D-lister?) getting attacked by a monkey, could I? So, Jason Biggs, he of “American Pie” fame, was on a European vacation with co-star Eddie Kaye Thomas, celebrating the 10-year anniversary of the film that made them famous — or at least rich enough to not work (much) for a decade. That’s kind of funny enough — really, who goes on a vacation to celebrate the anniversary of a movie? — but what happened while the twosome was hiking through the woods in Gibraltar could have been a scene from the comedy they starred in together. There they were, minding their own business in the woods, maybe even reciting favorite quotes from “American Pie,” when suddenly, a Barbary macaque — a local monkey commonly referred to as the Barbary ape — “lept on Jason from a tree and tried to bite his face off.” Fortunately, Eddie was able to fend off the ape, but Jason was so shaken up he canceled the rest of his vacation and headed back to the U.S., where his seemingly biggest threat is getting caught with pie on his balls. In all seriousness, we’re glad Jason is OK. [via Telegraph]
