Cops Thwart Paparazzi From Accosting Paris Jackson
Two members of the paparazzi were handcuffed by the cops after allegedly blowing through red lights while chasing Michael Jackson’s daughter, Paris.
TMZ says the photographers (not TMZ or THG staff members) were allegedly chasing a car Paris was in, blowing red lights and driving recklessly.
No arrests have been made because police didn’t see the chase take place. There will not even be any citations given, for exactly the same reason.
Still, the paps were thwarted and beat it.

The ContendersFatally Unique – The team was well coordinated in the beginning, but I liked how they tried to have boxes to break out of. The members hit really hard and they were very similar to the crew Live in Color from America’s Best Dance Crew. Hopefully, they could afford something better than cardboard boxes that fall over for the Vegas rounds.

Matt Rutler Cleared in DUI Case
How nice, and rare, to see celebrity scandals end well for a change. Turns out Christina Aguilera’s boyfriend Matt Rutler was NOT too drunk to drive after all.
Rutler got popped for DUI back in March, but citing insufficient evidence to prosecute, the L.A. District Attorney determined he won’t be charged with a crime.
That’s because his blood alcohol content was ultimately determined to be .06, or under California’s legal limit to operate a vehicle, .08. So why was he busted?
Matt has even more to smile about now that he’s in the clear!
Aguilera, a passenger in the car at the time, was
