Remember last week’s story about Heather Locklear getting busted for driving under the suspicion of drugs? Just a day after we made her our unofficial spokeswoman for transparency in government?
Yeah … it turns out there’s a 99.9% chance that it’s complete and total Shinola, particularly when you consider the person who tipped off the cops was a paparazzi who got paid $27,000 by TMZ.com for the controversial story …
From the AP:
A photographer who called 911 to report Heather Locklear allegedly driving erratically runs a paparazzi agency and profited from images she took of the actress’s subsequent arrest, the woman’s attorney said Wednesday.
But Nicholas Tepper, who represents photographer Jill Ishkanian, said in a written statement Wednesday that her phone call to authorities was motivated by “civic duty” and a concern for Locklear’s safety.
Wait … this woman was motivated by a “civic duty” and a “concern for Locklear’s safety?”
Um, no she wasn’t, she was motivated by a $27,000 check from TMZ.com. And by the way we’re pretty sure they reserve a special place in hell for people who tell such a repugnant lie, you know, like when Hitler said all he wanted was Czechoslovakia, or Steve Spurrier said the University of South Carolina was going to field a competitive football team … last year.
Anyway, the circumstances surrounding Locklear’s bust (editor’s note: Sic stop giggling) are just the latest proof that gorgeous and famous people can do no wrong, and that ugly people are responsible for all of the world’s problems.
