Susan Sarandon's Favorite Murderer
Movie star Susan Sarandon hates President Bush, but she's crazy about a vicious murderer in the president's home state.
"How would she feel if someone tied up her child and shot him in the back of the head, then she had to watch him on life support for three days until he died?" asked Shane Clendennen, who has waited almost two decades for his brother's killer to face justice.

James Vernon Allridge III shot 21-year-old clerk Brian Clendennen while robbing a Fort Worth convenience store of $300 in 1985.
But Sarandon has been pen pals with Allridge for years, and this self-styled Tinseltown "environmentalist" jetted over to Texas last week just to visit him. She thinks his little drawings are nifty.
Allridge is finally scheduled to be executed Aug. 26, but Sarandon and other sob sisters are trying to interfere with justice.
Shane Clendennen, for one, is disgusted. The actress "should not have a voice in this unless she has gone through that kind of pain and loss," he told the Houston Chronicle.
