FameCrawler : stealing

Kid Rock, Kid Crook

Is Kid Rock a role model? Strollerderby is featuring a post on Kid and a PSA he did recently that "encourages" kids to steal.

Apparently it's sarcasm.

Oh, that Kid Rock.

Jennifer Garner and Violet Start Life of Crime

Anyone that reads FameCrawler with even a passing interest knows that I loves me some Jennifer and Violet. They're so stinking sweet they make my teeth hurt. That's why I was alarmed to see this photo of them leaving CVS with a cart full of summer fun.

I happen to know from repeated firsthand experience that those carts with cars attached are not allowed to leave the store. You may not find a single person to help you while shopping, but the minute you're pushing two screaming kids in a car cart filled with cough syrup and frozen pizzas through the front door the employees come out of the woodwork.

Sir! Sir! That cart needs to stay in the store. Sir! You need to pay for those pizzas!

I guess the stars have different rules. Obviously they let her take it because at this stage of the parking lot I'm usually in full sprint.

Mad Money at NASDAQ

Who is it that decides that the cast from a movie about stealing money should ring the bell to open trading on Wall Street? Martin Sheen? Does he make that call? Maybe it was Charlie.

Regardless, the ladies from Mad Money, Queen Latifah, Diane Keaton, and Katie Holmes had the honor this morning.

I hope they were frisked on the way out.

Britney Spears Is Broke?

Well hell's bells, she must be!

Britster fancied a tacky blue lighter at a gas station, and took it. Without paying for it. I think that's stealing. And apparently Britney thinks so too because she looked into the cameras and said, "I stole something! Oh, I'm bad!"

The manager of the store, Sham Bahia, thought it was funny and just laughed off the incident. Suuuure, let's encourage Spears and her out of control behavior.

He said to Usmagazine.com, "If I see her, I'm going to ask her for the money! She's a thief. I don't know if she wanted the lighter or just wanted to make a story."

However, Spears is being spared (which, hello, if it was me or you, we'd be charged, even for such a small item!) because a photographer went back to the store Saturday and paid for the lighter.

"[The manager] didn't want me to pay for it at first," Shane Partridge told Us. "I told him it was no bother. I just felt like I should, you know?"

Girlfriend must be short on cash right ~~or missing some marbles~~? Sure, it's only a lighter, worth $1.39 (that's not the point though), but what kind of statement is she trying to make? I would think that someone who has lost custody of her boys, would at least try to come off as a decent person. Brit just doesn't care!
