Mr. T tossed aside his signature gold chains after experiencing the destruction caused by Hurricane Katrina. T claimed he would feel guilty wearing lavish accoutrements after spending time with the people who have been affected by the hurricane’s destruction.

"As a spiritual man, I felt it would be a sin against my God for me to wear all that gold again because I spent a lot of time with the less fortunate," the actor said Thursday at the Television Critics Association's summer meeting.


He spoke out against fellow celebs who he feels are insensitive.

"I saw some, I call it `sorry celebrities.' They'll go down there and hook up with the people to take a photo-op. I said, `How disgusting.' If you're not going to go down there with a check and a hammer and a nail to help the people, don't go down there."


In other T news, his new television show, I Pity the Fool, premiers in October. The formerly bejeweled muscle-man will dish out priceless advice to his audience. I'm guessing by the end of October, TV Land will cancel the show, leaving the poor, chainless guy unemployed once again.

So, only now did he realize how excessive his golden jewelery looked. Priceless. How does he get that stuff off, I thought it was just a part of his neck. You know, sort of a Darth Vader life-support system.

He doesn't need the chains. That man's heart seems to be made of pure gold.


Note: I'm being serious. Yes, it sounded cheesy, but I think it's true.

Mr. T is a fucking gem. He beat cancer, he's never had a scandal and he is a HELL of a nice guy to boot.

Nevermind the pie plate and spoon, is that a gold-plated phone jack around his neck?


Also, he's a swell guy.

As a "spiritual man", why does he need all that self-glory by wearing bling in the first place?

Word.

I love Mr. T.

And I cannot fuckin' wait to see that show.

And dude! TV Land had better not can Mr. T! I don't remember the last time I watched that stupid station--probably not since it was still Nick-at-Nite. And I'm gonna start watching, just for Mr. T. So they better just . . . feel . . . lucky, man. Grr.

You seen any popes lately? Go ask the Catholics. If anyone knows why spirituality requires bling, the Catholics do.

His stomach contains a small nuclear reactor which fuels his pity.

He is beyond awesome.

For real. This necklace was designed specifically for the pope by Jacob the Jeweler.

T is one of the greatest people walking this planet. I've met him a few times and there are not a lot of people who are kinder and as willing to help others. He is also king bad ass and always will be biggrin

When Mr. T went to New Orleans, did he smile at anybody down there, or did her keep his grimace?

It's clearly a RJ45 jack. Mr. T is a big fan of ethernet and he "pity the fool" that uses wireless. Seriously though, Mr. T is awesome. He's genuine wich is a rare trait in celebs.

ok, seriously, lets examine this shit.

1: MR T came to pop icon status for 3 reasons: he's an incredibly tough black man. He wore one of the first mohawks of the eighties. he wore a shitload of gold around his neck. now, hes got wit, bt i dont think thats what made him famous.

all three of thes qualities are emulated ad nauseum. but its the combination that was his trademark.

aside from this though, MR T has ALWAYS promoted causes that support children and the disadvanteged. so, really, this is nothing new.

but he's renouncing one of his 3 trademarks, the very thing that catapulted him to stardom. i like the gesture, but i wonder how much gold he will be sporting in october.
