The time has come for me to bid farewell to my readers and to “Life in the Fast Lane.” I have loved writing this column every week more than anything else, and I know you all have enjoyed reading it or I would not still be writing it. I’m excited to pass this on to another celebrity fanatic and can only hope a fascination with Justin Bieber carries on after I am gone. Now, on to the news.
Actress Reese Witherspoon and her husband Jim Toth were arrested and jailed early last Friday morning after they were pulled over in Atlanta for Toth driving while intoxicated. After they were pulled over, Toth was given a breathalyzer test and did not pass, which resulted in Witherspoon losing her cool. Witherspoon began arguing with the officer and not following instructions, so she was arrested for disorderly conduct. The couple was released on bond several hours after their arrest and appeared in court Monday. Witherspoon’s lawyer worked out a deal with the prosecutor in which she will go through a pre-trail intervention program to keep this off of her record. She will appear in court May 22 to see if she has been complying with the program. If there is one actress I would have least expected to be arrested for disorderly conduct, it would most certainly have been Reese Witherspoon. I am shocked.
My mind is blown once again after seeing Justin Bieber post a cuddly photo on Instagram of him and Selena Gomez on Saturday. Multiple witnesses had reported seeing the two together in Norway, where Bieber is currently on tour, but the photo confirmed that the two are essentially back together. However, the picture was almost immediately deleted after it was posted, meaning the two are not quite ready to make their relationship public again yet. I’m going to have to say enough is enough on this one. While I know deep down that if Justin met me we would get married, until then I am over his relationship with Gomez. After she made that little dig at him on David Letterman, it’s time for her to go. She can be left in Norway and maybe get some inspiration for her next weird performance of her new song, “Come and Get It.”
And this week in briefs, Kim Kardashian and Kris Humphries’ divorce has been finalized. Obviously you all were waiting on pins and needles for that news, so there you have it. Duchess of Cambridge Kate Middleton showed off her growing baby bump at the National Review of Queen’s Scouts at Windsor Castle outside of London last Friday. Only a few months remain until the world will welcome the royal baby. Olympian Ryan Lochte is now the host of his own show on the E! Network titled “What Would Ryan Lochte Do?” The show premiered Sunday night and received very mixed reviews. It seemed to me that Lochte reiterated to the nation why everyone thinks he is unintelligent and, if even possible, made it worse.
I’ll leave you all with this: While you will probably forget me, don’t forget to Belieb.
