Border Security: Delta Goodrem Edition

While I would dearly love to report that Delta Goodrem was busted bringing a load of weed into the States in her Bratz boogie-board bag, or that she tried to set up an international marmoset-smuggling ring, or that Brian McFadden is actually her employee and he brings condoms full of crack into the country for his drug baroness fianceé, unfortunately this story is not quite that exciting and we will have to wait until another day to see Our Delts embroiled in a My Drug Hell™-esque debacle – for now you will have to make do with this tale of Delta being held up at customs as she chases that great US music industry dollar sign in the sky.

Australians arriving in LA on the Qantas flight from Sydney early on Wednesday morning told Confidential Goodrem’s rocker “costume” of blonde bouffant hairdo, a sequinned beret and black-rimmed “nerd” glasses drew the eye and ire of a female customs officer, who grilled the singer

“It looked like she was in disguise, but it attracted an immigration officer’s attention who was having none of it,” the LAX spy said.

“She made Delta take her beret off, then her sun glasses so she could do that eye scan they do at American airports.”

But the wardrobe overhaul was the least of the indignity, with the airport insider claiming Goodrem was then taken to a customs office and interviewed for more than 20 minutes.

Pretty dull stuff, really, but if you’re Delta Goodrem – and thus, your “outrageous celebrity behaviour caught on tape” file features you saying “bother” a few times and, once, dropping an Extra wrapper on the ground – this sort of thing elevates you to the same rarefied air as Snoop Dogg and Jim Morrison.
