Star Lashes Out With A Hard "L"

Los Angeles – In yet another bizarre incident involving a cast member of the FOX comedy "Ally McBeal", Lucy Liu, who stars as the abrasive "Ling" on the show was arrested last Thursday in connection with an automobile accident. According to officials, Liu collided with a bus carrying a Girl Scout troop to a jamboree being held in the local area. While the accident was not serious, and no injuries were reported, witnesses claim that immediately after the collision Lui exploded in a rage at the damage done to her late model BMW. Girl Scout leader Wanda Patterson described the events that transpired. "Well, after she hit us, I checked to see if any of the girls were hurt, and that’s when she stormed onto the bus demanding to know who was driving the bus, and why it was in her way" When asked if Liu’s behavior was similar to the character she portrays on the show, Mrs. Patterson went on to say: "Well I don’t know about that, I don’t really like hospital programs, but I can tell you, she’s no Mother Theresa" Shortly after the accident, police took Liu into custody after failing a field sobriety test. According to officers on the scene, when questioned as to whether she had been drinking she reportedly replied, "If I hadn’t been drinking, I wouldn’t be able to tolerate your vile breath" Posting bail shortly after, reporters inquired of Ms. Liu her version of the events that transpired. Ms. Liu told reporters, "I was minding my own business, when that blinding yellow cattle car with the silly little children in ugly clothes struck me and ruined my new car", "when I tried to protest, the rude, obese woman assaulted me and got sticky cookie jam on my clean clothes" FOX spokesmen were unavailable for comment.
