Giraffe Dies On Set of Kevin James Movie

Celebricide ’09 continues. News has broke that the giraffe that starred in many Toys R Us commercials and Ace Ventura: Pet Detective died unexpectedly on the set of the new Kevin James film, The zookeeper. Tweet the Giraffe’s death came as a shock as the animal was believed to have no known health problems. A federal probe is being conducted to find out if any mistreatment took place. The Zookeeper tells the story of a rotun zookeeper who gets some advice in the romance department from the sassy animals he cares for. Think of it as a more furry Hitch. It’s a shame to see another noteworthy actor join the Raul Julia Club of Actors Who Died With Crappy Final Films. (WHDH)
