Earlier we wanted to cry happy tears when we heard that Ted Williams would no longer be homeless, would likely have too many job offers to choose from, and would soon be seeing his mom in Brooklyn, for the first time in a long time. And now we want to cry sad tears, because TMZ reports that Williams, scheduled to be in New York right now (the Today show is flying him for a Thursday morning appearance)... is actually stuck in Ohio, unable to fly because he doesn't have his birth certificate!
This news comes from his rep (yep!), who says he "is currently at the courthouse in Columbus, OH trying to get a copy of his birth certificate." The rep notes that "having to reestablish identity is a common problem for the homeless." Can someone with a private jet please bring this man back to Brooklyn?! Obama, are you listening?
