To be fair, if Heather Locklear was under the influence, it doesn't really matter that the former Us Weekly staffer and current paparazzo Jill Ishkanian profited — to the tune of $27,000 $27,500 (Ishkanian writes in to correct), thanks to TMZ's photo purchase — from the actress' recklessness. Actually, shouldn't we reward people who call the police on drunk drivers? So, good job Jill! It's not blood money — it's good samaritan money. [Earlier]
Mortals woke up Sunday morning to find out Heather Locklear was arrested on suspicion of driving while under the influence, after a "motorist" called 911 to alert authorities to the actress' "erratic" driving. Cops showed up and, low and behold, so did the paparazzi.
That's because the photogs were dialed immediately after the 911 call, by the same person: a one Jill Ishkanian, TMZ reported (though the post seems to have been removed had its URL changed).
You remember Ishkanian as the former Us Weekly staffer who left to start paparazzi agency Sunset Photo & News, only to become the center of a FBI investigation that, depending on which account you believe, alleged Ishkanian was hacking into Us' computers or that Us was trying to sabotage its ex-staffer. Ishkanian, meanwhile, is no longer with Sunset, thanks to a bizarre scenario where her now-former business partner stands accused of fleecing the agency.
And now, here she is, at the center of Locklear's DUI arrest. So how did the industry veteran just happen to be driving near the actress one night this week? CONTINUED »
The 911 call placed by Heather Locklear's psychologist is as tame as the one placed by the mother of a former Lindsay Lohan assistant is crazy. It's the tape that sent paramedics scrambling to the star's house, only to find the supposedly suicidal Locklear was calm and doing just fine. But the tape is worthwhile for one thing: Between the shrink's half-assed directions and the 911 operator's own admission, you can figure out where she lives. Good luck with the crazies!
