In this case? Who really cares?
I don't subject "News of the Weird" type stories to the same scrutiny I do other subjects. I have no idea if the story is really true or not, and am not inspired to research it.
I do know one thing: Richards is going to be in the next big "Pirates" movie for Disney, and you can bet one hell of a load of blue Force Lightning hit Richards' people from Disney headquarters.
