Director Lee Tamahori ("Die Another Day," "Along Came a Spider") was arrested in Hollywood for prostitution and not simply because he’ll direct whatever dreck comes along if the paycheck is high enough. They’re saying he’s a a real whore.
According to law enforcement,
Tamahori was allegedly dressed in drag, approached an undercover
officer who was in his car, entered the vehicle and offered to perform
a sex act for money.
Defamer’s comments on the arrest were amusing.
After the assuredly harrowing experience of directing xXx: State of the Union,
even Orson Welles would rather swear off Hollywood’s dirty money, dig
out his mother’s best evening gown, and go looking for supplemental
income on Santa Monica Boulevard.
Hey, it could have been worse. Tamahori could have been arrested with Eddie Murphy or Hugh Grant in his mouth.
ONCE WERE WARRIORS was a great film. He probably should have stayed in New Zealand. Peter Jackson seems to have done OK there.
Man, that sucks.
Okay, joke made. Now let’s move on.
Maybe he can claim character research.
I guess he must have finally given in to his mother’s pressure to find a more respectable line of work.
“Directing is a Drag”, huh? LOL – I nearly dropped a lung when I read this post! Priceless funny.
How is it possible that ‘The Smoking Gun’ hasn’t picked up this story yet?
Ah well, they beat you on James Frey, at least ….
Mac.
