Heather Locklear's DUI bust? Called in by an ex-Us Weekly staffer who now runs a paparazzi agency. She watched Locklear get into the car, then snapped pictures as she was taking her sobriety test. TMZ paid her more than $27,000 for the shots. And, uh, for ensuring road safety or whatever. [Scoop]
Lauren Conrad's flack said the reason her clothes are clogging up store racks is because they are selling so incredibly well. Same with the buy-one-get-one-free offer. [P6]
Mary-Kate Olsen's flakey artist boyfriend doesn't get along with Ashley Olsen's much more blue collar boyfriend, whose occupations is "famous movie star." Such enormous differences to overcome with these four! [Star]
Lindsay Lohan is presently feeling interested in headbands and human child adoption. [The London Paper]
Britney Spears visited some kids in the Bronx and looked cleaned up and sane. Apparently getting that way involved banning her cousin and former assistant Alli Sims from her entire life.
Adnan Ghalib said there is no sex tape with him and Spears, and he's going to sue someone to prove it. [Sun]

Sorry, but I don't think it matters much if a pap called it in or just Joe Blow. If she wasn't driving impaired, there wouldn't have been a call to make in the first place, ummm?

@scroll_lock: Good point.

Only somewhat related: whenever I see the word "pap," I am reminded of unpleasant trips to the lady doctor.

@Social Crimer: Is there any phrase worse than hearing, "Please scoot closer to the edge of the table"?

@Social Crimer: I think the same thing when people call what i put on my bagel a shmear. i wonder why.

@scroll_lock: In a different context, it is not such a bad phrase to hear.

Poor Heather. For some reason—and I have absolutely no idea why I think this—she always struck me as relatively sane for Hollywood and a good person.

@lawyergay: Well, if my opinion counts for anything, she is a good egg. She did some charity for a group I worked with and she was great. A total sweetheart.

Here's the thing: The pap hyenas should go after the swift gazelles, not the wounded ones. And HL has not been doing so swell lately. They think everyone's fair game, but I say fuck no, have some decency when someone is doing poorly.

@lawyergay: Maybe being sane in Hollywood turns you to drink.

Just sayin'.

Lady paps, what will they think up next?

Lady benevolent dictators? Lady poisoned corporate food shills?

The future sure is bright for us gals!

@BookishLookish: Wasn't Margaret Thatcher a benevolent Lady dictator? I forget.

This is the most heartwarming story I have ever heard about celebrity publications, not to mention lady paps. It's like a free-market bounty-hunter program aimed at celebrities. What is the downside?

@BookishLookish: You said 'lady paps'; you are worthy of all honor.

"Home? I have no home. Hunted. Despised. Living like an animal! The jungle is my home. But I will show the world that I can be its master! I will perfect my own race of people. A race of atomic supermen that will conquer the world!"

(Feel better, HL)

@BookishLookish: For a second, I thought that was William Shatner speaking...

@NefariousNewt: Oh, he could so pull it off. (It's Bela, of course.)
