Celebrity news
I hate celebrity news. I also hate news about long dead child beauty queens. It's not news, it's just easy filler for lazy networks.

But the news that Haley Joel Osmont got arrested for crashing his car while drunk and high caught my eye. Not because another Hollywood celebrity got caught misbehaving but because the car Osmont was driving.


Authorities said Osment was driving home alone about 1 a.m. when his 1995 Saturn hit a mailbox and flipped over.


Now what kind of Hollywood star drives this car?



I feel really bad for the kid. Maybe we should put together a charity site to buy him a better car. If our child celebrities are reduced to driving 1995 Saturns, it's just a matter of time before they're holding up liquor stores and starring in terrible reality shows. Heartbreaking, really.

You know, Michael Jennings (NY Giants WR) has a '95 Caprice with 26" chrome rims and a Corvette engine. Maybe that's the craze with kids today. I would certainly prefer to picture Haley Joel Osmont, drunk & high, street racing his nitrous burning family sedan.

Hey! No making fun of '95 Saturns. I drove one until last Thanksgiving. It was gold with champagne interior. We called it the mom-mobile.

Hey, cut the poor kid a break. He hasn't been the same since Walker, Texas Ranger broke the news to him.
