TOO PERFECT: Kumar robbed on 4/20

Penn, as Kumar, with buddy Kumar (John Cho) behind bars from Harold and Kumar Escape from Guantanamo Bay.

We were gonna skip the 4/20 humor today because weeds jokes aren't particularly funny while sober, but how can we resist? Kal Penn, the former Penn adjunct professor and actor known for playing the latter stoner in the Harold and Kumar movies, was held up at gunpoint early this morning in his D.C. neighborhood. Penn's alright, the robber only got his wallet and "personal possessions" (ahem ... stash? Naw, probably something lame like an iPod , Penn doesn't partake). Poor guy, no one would give a shit if he hadn't help make two friends' quest for tiny hamburgers famous. But the jokes will keep on comin' at Penn for a little while more: A Very Harold and Kumar Christmas is in production and set for a 2011 release.

Kal Penn was Obama's boytoy passed over and thrown out of the Whitehouse for current "bodyman" Reggie Love... the holdup was a message.
