Man, the gavel of justice is really coming down hard on celebrities lately. Not that that’s a bad thing – it’s a good thing that they’re being held accountable for their actions like the rest of us. Well, that they’re at least increasingly being held accountable. It’s not great that celebrities, young and old, seem to be getting into a lot of trouble lately. But let’s be honest – we hope they live and all, but it’s all right when they add a little drama to our lives. Better they end up in rehab than us, am I right? Is that silence? Okay it’s just me then. Carrying on. George Clooney might be joining the ranks of Britney, Paris, and Lindsay. Yes, it’s the long, bleached blond hair, but he also might see himself in a criminal court of law soon. As Celebitchy reported, Clooney crashed his motorcycle on Friday in Weehaweken, New Jersey. He said that a car cut him off by making a right turn from the left lane, but the other driver said it was Clooney who was driving erratically.

“Lucky to be alive, Hollywood actor George Clooney could face dangerous driving charges in connection with the motorcycle crash he and his girlfriend were involved in on Friday. According to Weehawken Police Sergeant Sean Kelly, Clooney might have caused his New Jersey accident by attempting to pass a car which tried to take a right hand turn from the left lane. ‘It’s a he-said, she-said right now, but you can’t pass on the right in Weehawken or anywhere in Jersey,’ Kelly said. ‘If he was passing on the right, that’s a moving violation,’ Hudson County Prosecutor Ed Defazio said yesterday.

“While the Mazda driver, identified as Sciancaledore, 27, insists it was Clooney’s fault, the actor’s publicist said ‘The car signaled left. George was riding to the right. The driver decided to make an abrupt right turn and clipped George.’ Sciancalepore was fined for not having his registration with him at the time of the accident, Weehawken Public Safety Director Jeff Welz said.”

I’m guessing no matter what happens, Clooney will end up in court on the business end of a lawsuit. I’m sure while that other guy was being rammed, he had little dollar signs floating out of his ears. Probably dreaming about Clooney’s famed Lake Como estate, which will now be the guy’s summer home.

The only happy thing about this story? This sentence: “The 46-year-old star suffered a fractured rib while his 28-year-old girlfriend, a former reality TV contestant and cocktail waitress, broke at least two tows.” Yes that’s right, poor George Clooney’s girlfriend broke her tows. Now I don’t know how big her feet would have to be two support at least two tows. She might have more than two, we only know for sure that two were broken. All five of her toes might actually be tows, for all we know. But can you imagine the snowshoe-sized footwear this woman must have to lug around to hide her two tows? That’s probably what really caused the accident. George Clooney’s girlfriend’s tows threw off the motorcycle’s center of gravity.
