"But, I'm famous!"

Here's a good way to get in hot water: fool around with hot water!

Pierce Brosnan, actor by trade, has pleaded not guilty to a charge of walking through a restricted area of Yellowstone National Park.

The charges were filed in federal court in December after Brosnan, aged 70, was found on foot in a thermal area of the park known as Mammoth Terraces. Visitors to Yellowstone are warned to stay on the trails provided and look at the fountains and hot springs that dot the landscape from a safe distance.

That scalding water is hot and acidic, and can cause severe or fatal burns. One warning should be enough for most people, but through his lawyer, Brosnan is declining to say just why he thought it a good idea to go tramping through a dangerous area.

 


Yellowstone is the park better known to cartoon lovers as Jellystone, home of Yogi Bear, the picnic-stealing rascal so beloved by children.

Brosnan seems to want to play Yogi's sidekick Boo-Boo now. How about just following the rules a little, huh, James Bond?
