All questions about his musical talent aside, it's tough not to feel some sympathy for Justin Bieber here. The teen pop star/demigod was pulled over and cited yesterday for driving in a "reckless manner" on an LA freeway. The catch: he was being chased by paparazzi.

Hey, has anyone seen Mike Hunt? He signed up to comment at yesterday's Los Angeles City Council meeting, but when a councilmember summoned him to speak, nobody responded. Maybe he was out getting sandwiches with his BFs Mike Hawk and Mike Rotch?

In today's most dramatic case of Hollywood hypocrisy, LAPD chief William Bratton has reportedly lashed out at anyone in favor of Councilman Dennis Zine's proposal for a new Britney Spears-inspired paparazzi law. Bratton went so far as to criticize the press for covering "airheads" and also suggested stars get psychiatric help in his monthly interview with KPCC. Which all sounds up to par and somewhat sensible until you remember this is the same Bratton who himself is fond of "traipsing all over town" with his press-happy wife. From LA Observed:
