BOB BARKER BLAMES CHUCK NORRIS FOR RECENT HEART SURGERY

NEW YORK (Wireless Flash) -- Chuck Norris is taking a few hits from "Price Is Right" host Bob Barker: He's blaming the action- hero for his recent heart surgery. Barker tells "TV Guide" that his doctors believe the artery blockage in his neck could have been caused by a long-forgotten blow to the chest or neck, where the carotid arteries are located. Since Barker once took karate lessons from the "Walker: Texas Ranger" star years ago, he jokes that Norris is responsible for his heart problems. In his words, "He probably kicked me in the neck. God knows, he kicked me everywhere else."
