I have been trying to bite my tongue all morning about a story I read. my Mom said (numerous times) "if you can't say anything nice don't say anything at all." I try.

To heck with it! Reese Witherspoon is a loser. Her husband got busted for DUI this weekend in Atlanta. She was in the passenger seat. After the police pulled them over for erratic driving, Reese got out of the car twice, which was stupid, and also said this to the cop "Do you know my name?.....You're about to find out who I am ... You are going to be on national news."

Wow. What nerve! Playing the celebrity card is not smart these days. Even though celebrities are constantly in the news for acts of stupidity, it keeps happening. Ms. Witherspoon and her husband were arrested and later released. her husband blew a .0139, by the way.

The thing that bugs me most? We pay so much attention to famous people these days that they actually become news stories. I firmly believe this is not news worthy, but belongs in entertainment "news" sites. I also firmly believe Ms. Witherspoon and her husband need to see the devastation DUI can cause first hand and do public service announcements acknowledging she didn't take it seriously and should have.
