Though lots of attention followed her after she inspired the hit 2000 movie, Erin Brockovich may be cursing fame as we now know about her boating while intoxicated arrest on Friday (June 7). After clumsily trying to dock her boat at the Las Vegas Boat Harbor in Lake Mead, Nevada, the environmental activist was taken into custody. According to the Las Vegas Review-Journal, she failed a sobriety test and blew “significantly” higher than the legal limit of .08 on the breathalyzer. Posting $1,000 bail, Ms. Brockovich was released from jail. Back in 2001, Julia Roberts won a Best Actress Oscar for portraying the fiery legal assistant and single mother.BUI .. Boating While Intoxicated
I don't know much about "celebrities" (except that they are sometimes dispicable people with duct-tape personalities and political views which disagree with mine), but it kinda drifts into my head that the life of a Celebrity is not an entire bed of roses.
Poor sweet them, the eyes of the world are upon them.
Rather than to give a rant about how her lawsuit against PGE may perhaps not been entirely justified, I merely offer the suggestion that being a "Celebrity" is not all it's cracked up to be.
And also ... Sunday is often a "Slow News Day".
Could be worse; she could have been abducted by a UFO and subjected to unspeakable abuse.
Well ... Sunday isn't over yet. It could happen.
(Ptahhhh!)

It's not easy being her. Not only is she a semi-celeb, as a legal assistant, she rubs shoulders everyday, all day with the slimiest of lawyers. That alone is enough to drive one to the occasional nip of the barley.
