Khloe Kardashian Fugitive from Justice!
Khloe Kardashian was a wanted woman ... a woman who was on the lam for 7 years until lady justice -- and a tranny -- caught up with her in court this morning.
Ok, we overstate a bit. Here's what happened. In 2003, Khloe got a speeding ticket and just forgot about it. When the ticket wasn't paid, a bench warrant was issued for her arrest.
Fast forward to 2007, when Khloe was busted for DUI. For some reason the warrant did not appear on her record during the arrest or prosecution. Nor did the warrant surface when Khloe got various traffic tickets over the years.
So how, you ask, did the warrant come to light? Memba that whole thing between Khloe and the tranny outside Playhouse nightclub last December? Well the tranny filed a police report and that's when a cop noticed the warrant.
So today, Khloe, along with her lawyer -- the effervescent Shawn Chapman Holley -- appeared in an L.A. court with a mea culpa. The judge ordered Khloe to pay $200 in court costs, recalled the warrant and dismissed the ticket.
As for the tranny case, cops sided with Khloe.

Alleged Victim of Rip Torn -- Torn Himself
Rip Torn is so in need of help, even the CEO of the bank he allegedly broke into on Friday night wants to see someone stage an intervention.
Torn was arrested after cops found him drunk inside a bank in Connecticut with a loaded revolver.
Mark E. Macomber, President/CEO of Litchfield Bancorp in Connecticut, tells TMZ no one was in the building at the time Torn allegedly broke in -- and the only damage was to the smashed window cops say was Torn's point of entry.
Macomber says he didn't believe Torn was trying to hurt anyone or steal anything. Macomber spoke to authorities in Connecticut who told him Torn was found lying on the floor. He said cops believe Torn thought he was in his own house.
He called the incident a "serious matter," but seemed to think Torn needed help with his alcohol problem more than anything else.
Torn was charged with carrying a pistol without a permit, carrying a firearm while intoxicated, first-degree burglary, first-degree criminal trespass and third-degree criminal mischief. He is due in court on Monday.
UPDATE: As of Sunday morning, Rip Torn is still in custody.
