Segacs's World I Know

Most of the time, when the sordid details of celebs’ brushes with the law hit the media, I find myself none too sympathetic. But if this is true, then I can’t help but think that the paparazzi member in question got pretty much what he deserved:

Police are investigating reports that James Blunt ran over someone’s foot as he was leaving a party, then drove off, authorities said Tuesday.

The alleged victim told police his foot was injured at a party Saturday around 1:50 a.m., police spokeswoman Martha Garcia said.

“Some of the witnesses also reported that it was Mr. Blunt who was driving the car,” she said.

“James was leaving a party and his car was swarmed by paparazzi,” Blunt’s publicist Sheila Richman said.

In a statement, she said the singer was driving “2 mph” and that he was “trying to navigate his car through all of the people.”

So what’s the new line of wisdom here? People who swarm cars shouldn’t complain when their feet get run over?

(Incidentally, James Blunt is one of those guilty pleasures that I’d love to claim I hate but actually has a much heavier rotation in my CD player than I’d care to admit… shhhhh….)
