celebrity dui arrests

Three different high profile celebs all receiving DUI's this weekend, or something having to do with it. All three are wealthy enough to get a taxi or limo. Reese is closer to age 40 and I think has 2 or 3 kids. She screamed at the cop that she was a celebrity. The other guys are above 40. That 3-doors down dude killed someone and then he brought drugs into the prison system in his sock.

I know drugs or alcohol can be very addictive.

Al Michaels arrested, charged with DUI:

Reese Witherspoon arrested; husband booked on DUI
http://www.cnn.com/2013/04/21/showbi...html?hpt=hp_c4

3 Doors Down bassist charged in fatal crash: (he had recent DUI last year with a car wreck involved)

Interesting to know that Witherspoon, just like almost every other person in the nation, becomes belligerent when inebriated.

She wasn't the one driving, though, and that award goes to her husband.

I heard a lil bit about these today at work. I don't think getting a taxi would be the best for a celebrity cause im sure a lot of cabbies would prolly ask stupid questions or take pics or tell the paparazzi where they are going to pick them up. Limo is a better idea but don't you have to book a limo in advance to traveling. Im not gonna make any excuses for them but they do live a different life than most of us and get treated that way hence why they will all get a slap on the wrist and we will forget about it soon enough.

Hmm...business venture idea. Cabbie to the celebs.

Promise a discreet pickup and delivery to the location of their choice for a nominal fee. With an option to remain available until they leave. Kind of like a cab, but with very deeply tinted rear windows and professional drivers that will never harrass the occupants.

More like livery service. Limousines would be too high profile.

Sounds like Witherspoon had a Mel Gibson moment.
