So a funny thing happened on the way to the E.R. this morning… a UCLA hospital worker admitted to the courts that she had been selling the hospital records of famous patients like Farrah Fawcett and Britney Spears to weekly rag The National Enquirer.

49-year old Lawanda Jackson plead guilty to the felony charges that brought $4,600 dollars into her husbands checking account through the AMI mag, and could face 10 in prison and $250,000 in fines.

As for The National Enquirer's punishment for buying the records?

Don't worry, the NE staff aren't expected to get charged, though U.S. attorney's spokesman Thom Mrozek said "the role of the media is part of the investigation into the privacy breaches."

Glad to see the justice system working in such an efficient manner. Guess it will be left for the private courts and the celebrities whose info was given out to go after the big guns with money: AMI chief David Pecker and National Enquirer editor David Perel.
