How to Make $$: Call Police on Drunk Celebs, Take Photos

Heather Locklear arrested on DUIJill Ishkanian, who alerted police to Heather Locklear's alleged drunkeness and erratic driving near Santa Barbara on Saturday, made $27,000 from her photos of the arrest by selling them to TMZ. But then TMZ became wary questioning if Ishkanian was up to no good because, in a way, she set up the incident. But drunk is drunk, right? Not always, she was also booked for being under the influence of a controlled substance.

Must have been a slow day in Celeb news. Someone should tell TMZ that nobody cares about heather locklear.

The day this story broke, was the same day the House rejected the Bailout Bill. On Reuters.com, this officially was the "Most Popular" story of the day. Go figure...

A great idea though to make some extra cash!

Well heck. I need a camera and a drunk detector.

Its a double edged sword. Driving while impaired is irresponsible (like none of us have ever done it?) but but trailing someone to capitlize on their notoriety as a way for personal gain is kinda shitty.

...Now if she were a lawyer, would that be expected? Heard of "ambulance chasers?"
