When scandalous stars align
You thought Paris Hilton returning to the Lynwood lockup was the only celebrity-justice drama of the day? In a shiny gift straight from the tabloid gods, George Michael, the former Wham! singer who is so well-known to Beverly Hills park patrons, was sentenced across the pond for driving under the influence of drugs. And we mean under the influence -- weaving the wrong way down a north London street and then found slumped over the wheel. For his latest indiscretions, Michael was sentenced to 100 hours of community service, ordered to pay $4,622 in court costs and banned from driving for two years, a brutal blow to anyone who can afford a chauffeur.
The moral of the story? Move to London, Paris! That's some serious celeb wrist-slapping there. Plus she could probably count snow-shoveling on "The Simple Life" tapings as community service!
I now return to reading about foreign policy. Really. After I set a reminder to watch the latest "Simple Life" episode. And stick my "Faith" CD in the player.
