After two very long, yet ultimately very short weeks in a far(ish) flung land (thanks to Mike, John, Caroline, Baz and Dave for covering my workload!), I've landed back to EI Towers covered in freckles and - as one colleague kindly put it - a "different colour" (read: neon pink).
Now that I've managed to trawl through the unopened 674 emails kindly waiting in the inbox, here be the first story of the day - whheeeeee! Is it an exciting gallery bulging with wibbling exposed flesh? Or some salacious tale involving a love child?! Is it someone who's split up after four years? (Alex Turner and Alexa Chung have confirmed their parting of skinny limbs), or someone who's announced their pregnant with their second child thanks to her 21-year-old fiance (Sam Taylor Wood is one fertile 44-year-old...) No, it's some dirge about one of life's feckless overpriviliged cruisers getting pulled over for drink driving.
Lindsay Lohan's on-off-on-off-on-mostly off-but now they're back on again-girlfriend Samantha Ronson was arrested for being a booojeewhoooziedwoooh'd behind the wheel. Ronson, who's 33 and should really know better, was arrested yesterday morning for DUI outside Baker, California. According to her booking sheet, Ronson is listed as 5'7" and 102lbs. Apparently that's interestiing.
Lohan's ex-girlfriend/Mark Ronson's sister was reportedly driving home from Las Vegas at 10:30am in her black Porsche ('cause that's how much standing over a set of decks earns you these days) when she was pulled over for speeding. Ronson was traveling back from Las Vegas where she had a DJ gig playing at Lavo nightclub in the Palazzo Casino Sunday night. According to reports, she was given a field sobriety test, but "didn't perform well" (your nose is very hard to locate after a few Long Island Iced Teas). She later allegedly refused to submit to a breathalyser and was arrested at the scene.
What a bleedin' anticlimax... On the upside, it's lunchtime (I've been on a solid diet of bread, pizza, bread, salami, pizza, pasta, pizza and cheeeeeeeeeese so the stomach has expanded to the size of your average black hole).
