Jim Carrey's Antics Keep Us Guessing
If you've been wondering what's been on
Jim Carrey's mind since his recent split with
Jenny McCarthy, the answer to that is "Boing."
Since April 24, Carrey has been
tweeting the word up to 40 times day, using it to mean, well, just about anything. "I RRRefuse 2 define BOING!," he wrote on Tuesday. "1 day when you've given up your need 2 explain it and file it neatly away, 'BOING'... you will understand! }=^P"
The erratic tweets are a red flag for some fans of the actor, who is said to have battled depression and was the subject of a highly unflattering 2007
Radar magazine cover story about his behavior on the set of 'Number 23.' (Although as a hatchet job, the article falls short: Most of Carrey's co-workers who are quoted seem to have a great deal of respect for him.)
All in all, it's been a bumpy month for the comic genius, who famously took to Twitter on April 6 to
announce his break-up with longtime partner McCarthy. Adding to the confusion is the fate of his next feature film, '
I Love You Phillip Morris,' which was supposed to have been released this Friday.
Earlier this month, it was shelved, seemingly permanently, only to be put back on the slate for July 30. The film, based on the true story of a con-man who turns away from his wife and Christianity to become a gay man with a partner (played by Ewan McGregor), whom he meets in prison, apparently spooked the studio with its controversial subject matter.
Carrey has also stepped out in public recently with cameos on '
American Idol Gives Back' and Conan O'Brien's Los Angeles
live comedy show -- where he sang a duet of Five For Fighting's 'Superman (It's Not Easy)' dressed as the caped Kryptonian.
So what is the current mental state of the Canadian-born comic, and do we need to be worried? As Carrey himself would say: "Boing!"

That weird idiot is just trying whatever he can to stay in the public eye,I kinda felt like he was a good guy after he hooked up with Jenny M and was so sweet to her little boy,then BAM he ditches her and her son so that he could go back to being the idiot that he is acting like now. BOING he wants everyone to think wtf and follow his ars around like mice to read what he will write next,he needs to get a damn life,he's a damn joke that no one gets,in Hollyweird that's called talent.(idiot)

Yep
And why is this important? He is just like any other human that is going through a split. is he funny? I think he is but that is my opinion. Do I care if he has lost his mind or that he has broken up with his girlfriend? No. I think what is happening in the Gulf, to the wild life, to the fishermen that depend on that wildlife to live is much more important than if I think Jim has a mental problem or not. People get a life.

When you are bipolar and you have the loss of a job or the loss of a loved one.... your illness kicks into high gear. Its clear that breaking up with Jenny has caused Jim's illness to show itself once again. Let's hope he is taking his meds and has someone who keeps a watchful eye out for him. The two stressors that I mentioned above are also the two main reasons that bipolars take their lives. Its not a funny thing folks.

Jim Carrey is said to "own the room," if you know what I mean.

Jim calls his love detector #Boing... It sometimes picks up crazy love vibes and goes on automatic pilot; That is what we are witnessing on the www & his Emma tweetathon. You know, Jim is just being Jim.
