FARLEY MAKES POSTHUMOUS APPEARANCE
Late comedian/actor CHRIS FARLEY is set to make an appearance on substance abuse treatment billboards - more than eight years after his own drug-induced death.
Billboards featuring the jolly TOMMY BOY star and the slogan "It wasn't all his fault" will appear in the Los Angeles area to promote a new addiction program from health services company Hythiam Inc.
Hythiam's chief executive TERREN S PEIZER says the company - who is currently negotiating with estates of other dead celebrities - wanted an attention-grabbing ad.
He says, "We felt it was an effective way of getting people to focus on our message point, because it's unusual to see a celebrity in this fashion."
Farley died of an accidental morphine and cocaine overdose in December 1997, aged just 33.
