Bradley Cooper's Bad Week: Death and Fire

It’s been a heck of a week for Bradley Cooper, not only did his father pass away but he was also caught in a house fire while visiting his relatives with Renee Zellweger. I hope he didn’t think Renee was his lucky charm, because a house fire and a death would signal some bad juju if you asked me!

Bradley was in Pennsylvania, visiting his dad, who had been ill for a long time. His dad passed away on Saturday, a day before the Golden Globes were to air. Both Renee and Bradley were scheduled to attend, but canceled at the last minute when his father’s health took a turn for the worse.

Information about the specific illness plaguing his dad was not immediately released, nor were any funeral plans. Our thoughts go out to Bradley and his family during this difficult time.

The next day, while they were at his mom’s house, it caught on fire.

From Popeater:

"Both Cooper and Zellweger were in his mother's home when it caught on fire on Jan. 16. Fire trucks were called to the scene, but thankfully no one was injured. According to WENN, the actors were watching the Golden Globes when the blaze began."

Ha! You know they were watching and pointing out ugly dresses. Renee was happy that she couldn’t be named worst dressed too! It’s much better to be watching the awards at home than having to sit through them!
