LAPD Chief Says Lindsay Lohan Is GAY

Filed under: Legal Matters

samlids__opt1.jpg

As we mentioned yesterday, LA Councilman Dennis Zine is behind a proposal to put stricter laws on the ways the paparazzi operate.

And, today when the meeting took place as to what should be done, it turned more into a showdown between Zine and LAPD Chief William Bratton, who openly opposes the new legislation.

According to Chief Bratton, he decided to leave his morning workout and show up at 6am to be near reporters since apparently Zine's last live interview about the paparazzi aggravated him so much.

He decided to go and "set the record straight."

Bratton said, "I figured I'd come over and straighten out — we have no intention of participating in today's hearing. It's a total waste of time. We have sufficient laws on the books that we enforce to deal with this issue."

Well obviously the laws aren't working or your cops aren't enforcing them properly.

Is Batton getting paid off by the paps????

Bratton continued on by saying that he puts the blame on celebrities, such as Paris Hilton and Lindsay Lohan, for the constant issues with the paparazzi.

He adds, "If you notice, since Britney started wearing clothes and behaving; Paris is out of town not bothering anybody, thank God; and, evidently, Lindsay Lohan has gone gay, we don't seem to have much of an issue."

Ouch. Outted by the Chief!

Bratton adds, "If the ones that attract the paparazzi behave in the first place, like we expect of anybody, that solves about 90 percent of the problem. The rest of it we can deal with. So as far as all this grandstanding and foolishness, waste of city time on this issue — and the fact that I felt aggravated enough about it to interrupt my workout to come over and set the record straight, LAPD has no intention of participating in this farce."

Ok, and what about the celebs that are avoiding the paparazzi and staying at home and have the paps trespass onto their private property? Such as what happened with Halle Berry?

What do you say to that?

    i believe paparazzi SHOULD b allowed on sidewalks; and from
    AFARRR!!! and of course at events~ but don't run in the street,
    infront of cars, putting lives at risk: screaming "Lindsaay", just to
    takee a photo of Lindsay Lohan smoking a cigg! and
    shoppingg.. -______- it's stupidd. And Also, don't trespass on anyone's
    property~ They're trying to call Brad Pitt a "Bad Father", just because he
    rode around on a golfcart ON HIS OWN PROPERTYY, with his daughter on
    his lap, i'm sure he wasn't goin fast or putting her at risk..

    HAHA! Too fucking bad for all of them! They can blame skanks like Slutney and Lindsey! They have left their mark on the world for sure. Only it's a really ugly black mark! And I agree they just need to enforce the existing laws - no special laws for the whores, i.e. Slutney. It's already bullshit enough the time and money spent on keeping these idiots "safe". However I'm not sure if it's from the paps or themselves.

  21. Mandi says – reply to this
    21

    I call bullshit.

    I have the right (as a free person in a free country) to act the way that I want to without having the hassle of being harassed. The videos where they surround their cars to such an extent that they can't even drive make me sick. Why can't there be more laws around that?

    I thought we got past the era of blaming victims for their problems? I'm not into the old "poor me, I'm rich and famous" crowd. But man..if I had to deal with people in my face with camera's every day of my life as I'm going back and forth to work I'd be pretty pissed too!

    And..for the record. No one "goes" gay. This police chief seems to be chock full of ignorance..

    I completely agree with bratton, and for you to insinuate that he is being paid off is insulting. he is without a doublt the best police chief LA has had in a very long time and he has made tremendous strides in decreasing crimes and if this world wasn't so obsessed with celebrities there would be no need for papparazzi. on that note i adore your website

    SO true. It's not fair! The paps are getting out of hand. I live in LA so I basically see them around on a daily basis, and it is reeeally not fun dealing with them. They do anything to get "the money shot"…not fair at all. To the stars and to the citizens of the city.

    You chose a profession where you make a lot of money, have a lot of explosure (exploding pap) and have more privies than most American's do. How about enforcing laws for rape victims, animal cruelty, children protection instead of advocating for more protection from something you signed up for.

    Today's Papparzzi Whores (men and women celebs) are spoiled **ucking brats. They think their shit does not stink, it comes in a different color.. I would not be surprised if they feel they are going to a different heaven.

    Cracks me up when these babies whine and moan about the pappies but tend to live in the areas known for hunting and shop at the stores known for hunting. Give it a rest…… do us all a flavor and do what you do best, entertain us and stop making this a YOU YOU YOU YOU issue

    how can you say that and then post sooo many PAPARAZZI pictures on your site.? Im sorry but you are a bit of an idiot and the sad part is you don't seem to realize it. Your not kidding. Oh my god.

    Than halle berry has the right to sue. It is not the polices job to babysit the wild young celebrities. i think only one getting paid to sway his opinions is perez.

    Does anyone know if Gewn Steffani has her baby, she was due in July and was always being seen around in parks and stuff now there has been no talk or siteing of her anywhere!!! Perez look into it!!! They will have the baby in London so maybe that is why the paps have not found out that Kingston has a baby bro/sister.

    This Chief is really a boob. If there are laws on the books that COULD solve the problems of celebs who are trapped behind closed doors and curtained windows then the LAPD should start enforcing them. Unfortunately these laws are of the "Quality of Life" type which the police can ignore if they are being their normally lazy selves or they can enforce if someone they consider a "lowlife" is involved. Bratton should be fired. He isn't doing his job. Most celebs are fairly normal people who just want to be left alone. Paps are accelerating the battle. Now they are dressing in camo like terrorists and infiltrating private property. They drive recklessly. They break laws. They assault innocent people. Paps don't have rights guaranteed to the press. They are not the real press. They are only filming entertainment, like a reality show. STOP THE PAPS !! MORE LAWS NOW !! FIRE BRATTON !!!

    Mario, I think it has become quite apparent that you have huge issues surrounding your own homosexuality, which you continue to transpose onto gay females in a pathetic attempt to "make yourself feel better." Big freakin' deal, you know? Lindsay Lohan is gay or bi. Who gives a shit? It's not like she turned you down as a romantic interest, so what's the deal?

    You need to get a grip Mario, come to terms with it and "man up" and grow up. Seriously, it's getting ugly with you.

    Be careful - if a law like this passes, you wouldn't have a website. Papparazzi are the bottom-feeding douches of the journalism world, and your best friends.

    I totally agree with Bratton. He should have also pointed out that most of these celbutards call the paps before they go anywhere for publicity.

    I hope he gets in a good workout tomorrow!

    Bratton is RIGHT!!! They chose the limelight–not the public. As for Halle is concerned: BOOOOOO-HOOOOOOOOO Cry me a river. Move to Alaska if you don't like the publicity! I can't stand unappreciative celebs. When you choose to be a "movie star", you choose to lose privacy, too!
    GIVE US A BREAK, PLEASE!!! LAPD have better things to do than worry about poor Halle!

    Isnt that postion of the police department paid with taxspapayers money.??? So why aren't taxspayers wishes not being respected ?? Every person has a right to walk down the street and enjoy, Including the CELEBRITIES !!! Most of these people wouldn't be NEWS except that every TV and MAG has them plaster on the front story. Troops are being KILLED all day everyday,but hell having all the reporters and paz on Britney lastest FART is more important to REPORT ..So blame them for all the B-UL-L-SH-IT we are forced to watch on every damn channel pretty much

    perez, you are saying that the chief of police knows who is gay and who isn't? Maybe he knows the winning lottery numbers or who is going to win the election. I just can't believe that you of all people print rumors of who is gay.

    there should be a law against them when it come to shots with people in their own private property, but i understand the police chief being fustrated with the careless young celebs wasting his and his officers time with their BS when there are more important things to deal with out there.

  53. 53

    Well, Lindsay's mother keeps insisting that "Samantha is a longtime good friend of the family"..>STOP THE LIES. Enough already, its obvious that this little 'boy' Samantha dresses like a David Spade CLONE WANNA-BE, and when do you ever hear about her 'dating' anybody? men or women? So, its stupid for the mother to perpetuate the lies about her daughter's sexuality, UNLESS SHE IS PREJUDICED, and ASHAMED OF A GAY IN THE FAMILY?

    But Perez and all of us that read this stuff daily are to blame as well! We've created this market for papps! So until we all stop reading Perez and TMZ and the like, and the sites and shows and mags stop using the product the papps are creating, the problem won't go away! Of course, it is ridunkulously hypocritical for Perez and TMZ and the rest to bash the papps who are their source for juicy content!!!!! Stop complaining about them — YOU ARE THEM!

  56. L. says – reply to this
    56

    We need more laws? Are you kidding. Nevermind China, what are we turning this country into?

    As far as Halle, she can charge the pap who took pics on her property with trespassing, etc. The whole thing is foolish. More laws, tighter regs and more taxpayer money is not the answer.

  57. 57

    I have to say I totally agree that the Paparazzi has gone too far. An entertainer's job is to ENTERTAIN, and that's it. There's nothing entertaining about watching Britney Spears give birth or Angelina Jolie giving birth- because that's something peple do EVERYDAY, and really, when stars/musicians/people-who-shouldn't-be-famous-but-are-for-some-reason aren't doing their job and when they're on their own personal time, it's nobody's fucking business what they do.

  59. 59

    You know what? It's called the fucking 1st amendment! Why do we have to change what is in the fucking constitution? Just because of a bunch of rich assholes are complaining? Fuck them! They knew what they were getting themselves into when they wanted to be famous. If they hate the paparazzi so much then why don't they just leave LA and keep a low profile?

    FREEDOM OF THE PRESS!

I didn't expect this from perez' site. Pretty retarded. I think I'll stop reding it now. If I can't believe Perez then I guess I am on the wagon to stop the paps!!!!

    This is retarded because there are PLENTY of celebrities that go on PRIVATE vacations and still get harassed and follow, with pictures of them in PRIVATE moments in the mags the next day. There are plenty of celebrities who go out of their way to live behind closed walls and the papz climb in trees and have extremely strong cameras to still capture every moment.
