Stars Are Blind -- And They Can't Drive Either!

Your average celebrity is capable of doing a multitude of things: star in a blockbuster film, release a number one album... or maybe even both! But it seems like for all their "star powers" they seem to lack one essential skill (at least if you live in Hollywood) - they can't f'n drive!!!

Not to make light out of potentially harmful incidents, but seriously, what is going on in Tinseltown? With the recent incidents of Daniel Baldwin and Haley Joel Osment, it made us think back to some other recent celebrity car mishaps, a lot of which were caught on tape.

The Lohan Family
Like father, like daughter. Michael Lohan escaped death after crashing his car into a pole and it burst into flames. He had been driving with a suspended license at the time and had a blood-alcohol level nearly double the legal limit. Check out the video of his charred Volvo - hard to believe he walked away unscathed.

And his daughter has been involved in not one, but two vehicular mishaps. In the second one, Lindsay crashed her Mercedes on Robertson Blvd. in a trendy area of Los Angeles - and right near celebrity hotspot the Ivy. After the crash, Lohan ran into the nearby Hideaway House Antiques shop to hide from the paparazzi. While plenty of photogs were on the scene, as one eyewitness would tell TMZ, they were not responsible for this accident.

Paris Hilton and Stavros Niarchos
How these two still even have a driver's licenses is beyond us. Back in November 2005, Stavros crashed Paris' Bentley into the back of a parked trunk - with TMZ's cameras rolling (thanks Stavros!).

Last month, Paris backed her into a parked Honda Civic. We can't imagine what these two are like when surrounded by other MOVING vehicles.

And just this week, Paris was pulled over by Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department for driving too slow in West Hollywood.

Chris Tucker
The "Rush Hour" star was arrested in Georgia in April 2005 for speeding. He was allegedly clocked doing 109 miles per hour in his 2005 Bentley. So where was Tucker in such a hurry to get to? Why, church services in South Carolina, of course.

He pled guilty to speeding and eluding police and was fined $6,999. The 32-year-old comedian told authorities that he didn't hear their sirens, presumably because the Lord was already talking his ear off. Chris Tucker
Tyson Beckford
Cover model Tyson Beckford suffered a few injuries to his famous mug when his truck was rammed off the road in June 2005. As he explained, "My lip was busted, one of my teeth was knocked out and my eye was swollen shut ... My nose was fractured and the blood was squirting out of my face.

Check out the video of Tyson explaining what happened -- plus footage of his burning truck.

1. I suspect they are probably looking for new movie ideas. Reminds of southern florida where you have lots of 'older folks' who have paid into their car insurance for years and now don't care how they drive. I guess being wealthy makes for the same mentality. The burning question I have is ...when lindsey drives, does her head come over the steering wheel? (I know, what doesn't her head come over but hey..be serious).

2. Hello Mr. Daniel Baldwin ,
Next time the cops show up at you and your homeless crack buddies Motel room.

DO NOT open the door - Hi did we NOT learn ANYTHING from Michael Irvin? FFS!

No WARRANT no door, repeat after me.

Then your lame enough to get loaded and drive a rental into a parked humvee.

But I'm sure you can/will

A. Go to Re-Hab
B. Make a Phony A** apology - ala any Kennedy Male
C. Go on Orca err Oprah and make said Phony Apology again
D. Have a HUGE come back
E. End up right back in that bottle and crack pipe
F. Die the "loser" Baldwin

Must be nice knowing your celebrity status can get you out of deep schtick.
Any normal Joe would be cuffed and stuffed , the fact that you Hollywood idiots get away with this crap is disguisting.

I suggest phoning Robert Downey for advice legal and otherwise.


Your new life coach,

3. I happen to think Paris Hilton isa very sweet young lady who is young and enjoying life.She is not a slut compared to most of the other girls her age we see on TMZ.COM.I don't think she gets a fair deal from some of the press.It looks to me like there are alot of jealous haters out there that only can wish and dream they could be like Paris.All you jealous haters eat your hearts out.

4. "doug" I think you may be right about the stars/old people driving parallel. Unfortunately, those of the Hollywood air, unlike old people, aren't eventually made to quit, or mature apparently--the last time I drove smashed was in mid-high school, because DUI's, etc. will follow me and hinder my employment! Did anyone read "The Dead Beat: lost souls, lucky stiff, and the perverse pleasures of obituaries?" It mentions how Mel Gibson hand-delivered a copy of "The passion" to a beloved deaf, blind english-woman. I imagine conviction in his eyes (which of course she sensed.) Forget Hollywood not being able to drive, how about the inability of most of them to make socially normal, and lower-class identified decisions, while we gawk, appalled and entertained. I am again reminded of the nation's immense wealth being controlled by a minute percentage of the population, and, again, find myself really wondering why.

6. I have to say i feel sooo sorry for celebs... you can't do ANYTHING without having someone right up your tail... poor Paris, not a fan at all, but how unlucky... heart beginning to bleed for her!

7. I wouldn't want all the money in the world to be a celeb. Is all that money worth no privacy? NOT. I think it's really a ego thing more than a money thing. They are willing to feed their egos at any cost

9. Hey gary byrom:You really think Pair Hilton a is NICE GIRL? You on your meds? (IMHO) No, Pairs IS a slut, she IS a hater herself, a VERY immature young girl and she is nothing more than a joke gone horrible out of control. Seriously, I would not want my claim to fame being heiress/party girl with a sex tape and have the world (most of it) laughing at my ignorance and stupidity. And as far as driving HOLY CRAP! She's going to kill someone or herself, that's why she should NEVER have a licence. The spoiled little rich girl needs to let someone responsable drive her, (she can afford a real driver!) and the cops should quit turning a blind eye to her driving and ticket her and take her licence for a while.

11. What's the big f***ing deal? I don't understand the point of this story. Lots of people have car accidents, for Christ's sake! Why is the media so hard on these celebrities?

12. Hey Gary Byrom,
Why don't you go by your given name, "PARIS HILTON"?

Paris is a mean spirited bitch... FYI
