Cops, Drunk Chicks ...and Taylor Hicks?!

Craziness exploded in Hollywood last night -- and it all went down mere inches from our cameraman ... and some guy named Taylor Hicks.

Taylor Hicks: Click to watch
The drama started after Taylor's show at the Roxy -- which the "American Idol" WINNER(?) performed in front of an audience of people who got their tickets for free because nobody would pay actual money for them.

The cops came, the cops helped a drunk chick, and then the cops got back in their car, flipped on the sirens and chased after something else. It was super intense, but we only caught bits of it ... because, for some completely unknown reason, our guy thought keeping the camera on Taylor Hicks would provide better material.

Even Taylor Hicks knew Taylor Hicks couldn't compete with that.

2. It's truly painful to witness such intolerable stupidity. I'm extremely intelligent, but even with my vast profundity of knowledge, I cannot begin to define how one continues to exist with so little intelligence - this person is no more evolved than a bi-valve.
My god.....

3. This was really amusing. Taylor handled it very well- BETTER OFF KEEPIN IT REAL

Too bad I couldn't be so lucky to just see him on the street. Love the Alabama terminology.

4. LMAO LMAO LMAO. Tooooo FUNNY. The get out free jail card. That is the only thing he said worth listening to. Police didn't want to deal with a heavy passed out woman but still being out like that could get her injured. Notice no one cared who Taylor Hicks was or even paid to see him. The ones that did and found out the tickets were free later must be mad.

6. And that whole TMZ thing is a bunch of crap. The two people in front of me had free tickets from that place. What was it, Goldstar or something like that? I played dumb while they explained to me how they got their free tickets. Well, turns out this is what this place does! They do it all the time! They have like 60 venues on their web site. The free tickets are very limited, so they run out fast, and then they ask the people who went to write a short review for them.

7. LOL. You guys are funny but mistaken. Some friends of mine were there last night and they say it was an amazing concert. Free tickets are available for many concerts in limited supply. The fact that there was a full crowd on a Weds. night for a concert starting after 10:00 is amazing. He is a fantastic live performer and having a some of Eric Clapton's backup band is not too shabby either. If he's any where close to me I go.

8. Play the game fro awhile and abide by the American Idol rules so your life doesn't end up like this. Don't go on Idol unless you want to sell your soul (patrol) to a corporation that can destroy you bit by bit if you try to venture out on your own path. AI OWNS you FORever, dude.

9. HAAAAAA...Hicks made you guys look like the a**holes you ae. don't you think you would know how Goldstar operates before you "report" on it. New found respect for Hicks...he handled this so cool..

10. Taylor Hicks rocks. He seems like a cool guy and it's even better that he is from Alabama! He was nice to you guys after all the crap you have been saying about him. Why do you guys have to slam almost everybody? I'd hate to see a camera on you guys 24/7 even at your worst times.. Taylor has more fans than TMZ. Most of his fans are too classy to write on your post.

Posted at 2:39PM on Mar 19th 2009 by I love Taylor HIcks!

11. TMZ ---You are the epitome of total erroneous reporting and I wish there was someway I could shut down forever your character slamming and other insidiouis reporting of some of the finest people around. My husband has even remarked when he sees the "Harvey" face on tv, what a poor substitute for a reporter. It is beyond my comprehension why you continue to slam Taylor, who continues to bring joy into sooooo many lives. I am so incensed I am just shaking so I will close by saying, go back to Mars or wherever you came from and just leave us alone, the multitudes that are going "The Distance" and doing "What's Right is Right."

12. I see you weren't so big and bad TO HIS FACE!! Ya TWO FACE sicko !! He was NICE to you, and did not stoop down to YOUR level! He KNOWS how sorry you are, saying 'you guys'. KUDOS to Taylor for handling you sorry scum so nicely.

13. Of course they have to give tickets away for free. Who in their right mind would pay to see him? Maybe they thought if they got drunk enough, he would actually sound good. Little did they know, there's not enough alcohol in the world to make that happen.

Posted at 3:08PM on Mar 19th 2009 by yuck

14. he handed this with calmness and dignity, I'm betting he's seen worse than this. don't be hating because he didn't attack you like some psycho. i love Taylor. kbye.
