Best Excuse Ever

We told y’all earlier about Tatum O’Neal’s drug bust Sunday night for buying crack (it’s whack!).

Well, a few more details about the actual bust have emerged.

And they’re priceless!

When the police approached O’Neal during the drug exchange she asked them, ‘You know who I am, right?”

And then she said, “I’m researching a part – I’m doing this for a part…as a junkie.”

Shit, Amy Winehouse needs to start acting.

Then at least she’d have an “excuse”!
