Celeb-Crazy LAPD Chief Just Happy That Lindsay Lohan Has Found A Nice Girl to Settle Down With
Posted by Defamer Hollywood at 10:40 AM on August 1, 2008
Good news for the beleaguered Hollywood paparazzi: LAPD Chief William Bratton opposes a new proposal to place restrictions on particularly aggressive photographers. In fact, he took time out of his daily workout to tell KNBC that the problem lies not with the paparazzi but with the bad girls they photograph — a salient point made amusing by Bratton's brusque verbiage and up-to-the-minute starlet savvy (preserved on video after the jump):
"If you notice, since Britney started wearing clothes and behaving; Paris is out of town not bothering anybody, thank god; and, evidently, Lindsay Lohan has gone gay, we don't seem to have much of an issue."
Someone's been refreshing Perez! While Bratton deserves credit for advancing the idea that a starlet "going gay" could actually help curb the paparazzi explosion, we think Lindsay Lohan is a mere drop in the bucket. No, if the lesbian army on Passions has taught us anything, it's that these sapphic starlets will need to expand their ranks to the dozens or more if they even have a hope of taking on the paparazzi head-to-head. Do we smell a rumble at the Home Depot parking lot on Sunset?

God, I love this man. I wish he were still pressing for paparazzi control measures, however. I have a friend who lives next door to a current celebrity, and the parking is hell on that street these days. Help me out, Bill!

I like to think that the good chief prefers the cynical intellectual insider humor over here at Defamer. Besides, Lavenderdiarrhea's infantile photooop scrawlings are NSFW.

Love him - especially since his Boa-ston brogue reminds me of home.

Wait - Did Bratton just say "Waste of titty-time"?
I maintain he did. Yes, he did.

I love him, always tells it like it is. One morning on KTLA, the anchors were talking about taggers as "artists" and he basically goes "no, they are fucking criminals, not fucking artists". Right on Chief.

Chief Bratton went on to say that he hopes to end the Jolie-Aniston feud once and for all.

Hey, Grandpa? "Gone gay"? And I don't see that the paps have really let up on Lindsey since her "going gay". Seems there are lots of pictures of her and Sam Ronson floating around. How does he feel about paps sneaking into people's yards to snap pics of their kids, i.e. Halle Berry? How was she misbehaving?
