Celebrity jarred! My question to you is this: how many non-famous people car accidents of this severity (minor injuries, hospital visit), are there everyday? Would it be reasonable to say there were 9,999 non-celebrity and 1 celebrity car crashes yesterday?
What if your a demolition derby champion, who's a celebrity because he gets in car crashes? Wouldn't that throw off the numbers?

My roommate got hit by a car this weekend and it certainly didn't make the news.

To be fair to the driver, she drunkenly walked into oncoming traffic, but still. No newsclippings for her.

How many non-celebrity car crashes were reportedly due to avoiding paparazzi?

The crash was the second one Lohan, 19, has been involved in recent months.

Police said the star of such films as "Mean Girls" and "Herbie: Fully Loaded" was attempting to evade a paparazzi photographer in June when the photographer crashed his car into her Mercedes. She suffered cuts and bruises in that crash but did not seek medical attention.

The photographer was arrested for investigation of assault with a deadly weapon. Police said it appeared he deliberately crashed into the actress' vehicle.

A new state law signed Friday allows victims of paparazzi assaults to file lawsuits seeking up to three times the damages they suffered. The law goes into effect Jan. 1.


ÖMG*, did I accidentally stick up for Lindsay? I'm sorry if I did. I was just trying on a joke and it totally backfired and all I got was this dang comment.

* with double apologies to dabitch.
