Celebrity Lawbreakers

256. I'm not worried about jaywalking either; it's they who are putting themselves most at risk with that one. But, Julia Roberts parking in a handicapped spot is a major infraction, not to mention rude and lazy on her part as well as her spouse! Those who genuinely need to use those designated spots are forced to either wait on her majesty to finish her plans or come back at another time thanks to people like Julia and her husband.

257. I was totally pissed off when I saw on TMZ the show that Julia Roberts and her husband parked in a handicapped spot. I don't care if they were in the store or wherever the hell the were for only a few minutes, it's against the law to park there unless you are truly handicapped. And then there those who have handicapped placards who are obvious not handicapped and just take advantage of the system. I had a kidney transplant not long ago and while I was in the hospital my social worker brought me paper work to get a temporary handicapped placard and I turned it down. I saw no reason for it. The other thing I don't get are those people who have to make sure they get a parking spot right in front of the business they intend enter. What is so wrong with parking in the first spot you see and walking your lazy A$$ a across the parking lot.

259. This is UNREAL... most of these infractions are commited every day by ordinary people. It doesn't make it right, but you don't see the average Joe in a big city like NYC or Atlanta getting a ticket for jaywalking. And, yes, coasting through stop signs isn't safe, but how many of us when we were young did it (and still MAY be doing it)? The only problem I MIGHT have is that Julia Roberts parked in the handicapped lot. It IS possible that her husband may have had a temporary medical condition that required her to be near the front of wherever they parked and that they didn't have a placard yet. I myself am disabled and wheelchair bound due to progressive MS. BUT, if it was done just because it was the only spot they found near the front, I DO have an issue with that. There are a lot of times friends have taken me somewhere and the handicapped spots have all been filled... several of them without placards or the proper license plates. Perhaps they had a legit reason to be there, perhaps not. But only Julia Roberts and her husband know as far as THEIR issue. And, by the way, I watched that video several times and I couldn't be even FIFTY % certain that it was Julia Roberts in that vehicle as the windows were so tinted. So PROVE IT!!!

260. OMG!!! Barbara Walters jaywalked on Robertson. I used to live off Robertson, and EVERYBODY jaywalks. And let's look at the video closer..... the cameraman from TMZ jaywalks right along with Barbara. I don't see any complaints from this site about that.

261.
I am really thinking about canceling my AOL due to the caliber of reporting and especially the connection with TMZ which everyone knows is the National Enquirer which is a trash rag for the uneducated of this world, They seem to thrive on this trash, but I do not, and am frankly insulted if this all AOL has to offer in the way of news, this is not People Magazine that we are subcribing to after all.

262. Julia Roberts must be some inconsiderate pig. I have one leg and cannot access
stores at times because someone just doesn't care.I woul like to see her sit in the hot summer sun for 30 minutes because she had to wait for someone to move their car
so she could get her and a wheel chair in her vehicle..A simpe courtesy can make a big difference to us who have trouble getting about !!!

264. Behaving yourself, acting like a lady or a gentlemen have absolutely nothing in common with being a celebrity. You can't by class. It's not for sale. You either have it or you don't.

265. Just because someone "does it every day" does not make it right. If someone breaks the law, then that someone should pay the fine. People who are not celebrities are ticketed every day for these "minor" infractions. Shouldn't celebrities be ticketed as well? Come on, Julia Roberts parking in handicapped parking should be required to pay the same fine - which, I might add is between $300-$400 - as the little people have to pay. I do not feel that famous people, appearing on "the big screen", should be given special privileges that I, nor other little people, have.

266. I am not going to defend any of these celebrity errors.
t reflects their innate attitude, especially Paris Hilton, that they are better thn the rest of us. Poo on them.

267. For the jaywalkers, the stop sign runner, and the ticket-tosser . . . they don't bother me one-hundreth as much as Julia Roberts in a handicap space. It's people like her (or rather her husband since he was the driver . . . but she was in the vehicle) who prevented my handicapped mother from finding a parking space near the store so that she wouldn't have to walk such a long way. Shame on them and hopefully comments like these will have them think twice before they do it again.

268. What is with Larry Birkhead? Just look at how he is holding the baby. It's so obvious that he is parading her around the papparazzi. Sad.

269. Jaywalking isn't a crime, you morons. Do you ever see a cop arrest anyone for jaywalking? Also I like how your camera man led the jaywalking, from the footage you'd assume he was jaywalking backwards, not safe at all.

270. Hey TMZ, I noticed you like to run a lot of jaywalking stories, and stories about Britney Spears running over some idiots foot. If I had 100 idiots surronding my car, they'd be damn lucky if the only thing that got ran over was their foot. One day Britney Spears is really gonna lose it and she's gonna run over something more than one of your losers feet.
