Paris, Britney, Lindsay — Will they ever stop drinking and driving?

By Steve Poland • May 29, 2007

Alright, I will get some new posts up soon with some great web ideas and back to the focus of my blog, but I just read this and needed to vent somewhere. Apparently Lindsay Lohan was arrested this past weekend for suspicion of a DUI — and of course there was cocaine in the car (although the cops say she wasn’t holding it) — anyhow, the case will be arraigned and she may face felony charges. This comes a few months after she was in rehab for drugs.

Meanwhile, Paris Hilton is about to go into jail for her DUI. And months ago, Britney was — well, showing her crotch to the world and getting wasted.

Don’t all these girls make enough money to have a driver every night they want to go out and get wasted? Heck, if the millions aren’t enough, couldn’t they share a driver and have him/her pick two of them up at once, then drop them off at the end of the night? Or, whatever happened to the cabbies?

The real question is, considering the law doesn’t seem to stop them (nor make them care) — will guilt set in once one of them kills someone from one of their future DUI experiences?

And tell me again why companies pay them the big bucks still for endorsement deals, acting deals, etc? Oh right, because America still pays the bucks to see their movies, TV shows, and concerts.

MUSIC MARKETING GIMMICK: Non-Stop Listening I love music — and I love marketing. It’s natural that I have ideas for the marketing of music (or bands in general). An artist should do a 1-week, 2-week, or 1-month marathon of their...

How about the clubs/bars the underage rich and famous drink at and leave drunk? I’m shocked none of them are having their liquor licenses revoked.

Always confuses me too, hire a damn limo for pete’s sake. Plenty of time to drive yourself around when you are sober (assuming there are times of the day when this is true). Leave the coke sniffing and boozing to the limo.

I hope she goes to jail for it, but truth is she probably won’t, or may get a slap on the wrist.

Good news is she’s of legal drinking age in July!

Being the founder of Fafarazzi.com, the site for Fantasy Celebrity leagues, I’m personally shocked too at how much publicity they generate through the shear crap they continuously do. It’s really unbelievable…they’ve developed the nickname “the big 3″ on Fafarazzi because they bring in so many points if you have them on your team…people actually ban them from their leagues now!
