Britney Spears' $25,000 escort

What $25,000 can get you: A police escort to the hospital (if you are Britney Spears) or tagging removal.

The Los Angeles Police Department reportedly spent $25,000 for police cars, motorcycles and the helicopter to help Britney Spears get to the hospital for a psychiatric evaluation last month.

Funny. That's exactly how much the West Covina City Council approved this week to boost its graffiti prevention and removal program, reporter Alison Hewitt tells me. Look for her story about it in Tuesday’s paper. The pic below is found off of West Covina's website.
