Why don’t any of the celebrity barflies just hire a driver?
Two of our frequent DWIers–Kiefer Sutherland and Michelle Rodriguez–spent Christmas in the klink because of their inability to judge when they’ve had too much to drink. And many people talk about whether the sentences doled out in 2007 to celebs who drink and drive were fair, but no one seems to ask why they don’t just have chauffeurs take them to and from the clubs. Certainly, Paris Hilton and her ilk could afford to hire a driver. I would hire a driver if I could afford one. I’d much rather be able to text, chat on the phone, read scripts or a multitude of things other than driving when I’m in the car.
And don’t even get me started with Britney. Don’t the paps whose feet are in constant danger of being run over want to band together and hire a driver for her? Or maybe they were just hoping for steel-toed boots in their stockings this year.
Perhaps I should move to LA and start a service to match celebs with discreet drivers who would think it great to be paid to sit outside the current hot spots waiting until their charges needed to be taken to the after-party.

I want the writer’s strike to be resolved in time for my favorite shows to finish their seasons satisfactorily with
- equitable pay for online use of writer’s work
- union representation for all writers of “reality” television shows who wish to join
- fair pay for DVD sales
- a deal that will translate into the director’s and actor’s guild contracts so that we won’t have to deal with more strikes
Find out more about the writer’s guild, the strike and the demands at unitedhollywood.com.
Merry Christmas!

I hate Britney Spears. Even if I had liked her music or her “inspiring” life story, I would be so sick of the ridiculous coverage of her implosion that I would have begun hating her anyway.
See, I love reading and listening to pop culture coverage. I listen to Yo on E! and E! News on my XM radio everyday on my way to and from work. I visit the Entertainment page of Google News as well as usweekly.com, eonline.com, zap2it.com, tvsquad.com and people.com multiple times each day. I even visit hecklerspray.com even though they frequently talk about British celebrities I’ve never heard of.
Since the infamous head shaving incident, I have been teetering toward total Britney overload. In the past few weeks, coverage seems to have lessened a little–I was so happy. Other than the occasional lighter theft, not much Britney on the airwaves. Until her little sister got knocked up. Oh, damn you little Jamie Lynn Spears and your possible statutory rapist of a possible ex-boyfriend. Now we get more and more coverage of Britney as she finds out about your pregnancy the same way the rest of us did–through the press. Or as she shops rather than flying home to lend a little moral support to her poor little sister. Damn you.
