Crack is Whack

Another child actor arrested.

Younger people won't remember who Tatum O'Neal is. I barely remember her being the youngest female to win an Oscar (for Paper Moon). I think she was also the female in Bad News Bears (the Walter Matheau version, not Billy Bob Thornton).

I remember thinking how funny it was when she married John McEnroe. He's a guy that would throw tantrums on the tennis court. And, her name is only a few letters different than "tantrum".

She had had her drug problems in the past. But, she wrote a book about getting clean. She still lost custody of her 3 kids to John (you have to be a bad parent if he wins the rights to them).

The other day in New York, she was popped with buying cocaine. She had crack and powder on her. Her first line to police was, "You know who I am, right?"

Any time celebs say that, it's funny. I remember Ryan Leaf saying that in Del Mar, when he couldn't get into the Turf Club because he wasn't wearing a tie. He ended up shouting to the crowd "I make more than all of you combined!"

Tatum then went with the line a lot of celebrities like to use. She said "I'm researching a part. I'm doing this for a part." Ah, Pete Townshend. You not only gave us great guitar licks, and lines like "Hope I die before I get old." But, you remind us of this wonderful excuse.

If I was a cop, I'd say "Let's go back to your place right now. And, you can show me the script."

You can also ask why she didn't contact the cops to let them know. Or at least, how to do it safely. Heck, you deal with some drug dealer in a back alley in NYC, you could end up dead in a Dumpster.

At the pace she's going, that's probably where she'll end up.
