At least he didn't use the excuse "I was researching a role."

He was obviously seeking "something". I don't believe the running out of gas story at all.

"Running out of gas" is as believable as Kevin Spacey's "I was walking my dog at 4 am when out of the bushes jumped a thug who stole my phone."

Honestly, I expect better improvisation from professional actors.

The 26-year-old actor and his bodyguard told cops that arrived at the scene that they had run out of gas and were sitting in their car waiting for a tow truck. While waiting, they threw a bottle out of the window of the car and it happened to smash on the pavement near a group of “transients.

Yeah, that's it. That's the ticket. Yeah. We ran out of gas, see? And while we were waiting for the tow truck, we threw bottles out of the window. Yeah, bottles of soda pop--that's what we threw. Not vodka--soda! And one of them accidentally...

I don't find this amusing at all.

He's struggled with addiction and was doing very well. Since one witness claims he smelled of alcohol chances are he's relapsing.

I wish him the best and hope he's able to get it together.

We're all in this together, Taz.

When asked for comments, both Hugh Grant and Eddie Murphy said that they found Efron's story quiet believable.

I think it's probably drugs, too. The rough trade part is the OP's fantasy/pathology.

^That's the truth.

I don't get why celebrities put themselves in these situations.

And if he's buying drugs, why is he buying them from homeless people.

There are plenty of reputable dealers in Los Angeles

It doesn't sound like he was buying drugs from them. It sounds like he was ****ed up and started harassing them.

Stick to the status quo, Kad.

"socked in the mouth" "Cops saw Zac and the other guy in a full-blown melee" he got cold cocked in the mouth."

Is TMZ insinuating something?

You wink a lot.

What are you, the Yellow Pages?

Well, if it's reported by TMZ, it must be the truth.

I THINK I know what you meant TD but since when were drug pushers 'reputable' ?

ALL this talk of rough trade and drug dealers reminds me of Max Wright (brilliant classical actor, but best known as the dad on "Alf") who was depicted in photos in the National Enquirer smoking crack with homeless men and hustlers.

"Is TMZ insinuating something?"

Well, Harvey Levin is gay.

You are too, though, right?

What Phyllis meant is "Are you now or have you ever been of the homosexual persuasion?"

You know. Even in one of those brief moments of passion that the French so cleverly call "moments de passion," when all caution is thrown to the wind and Dame Fortune is disregarded, when men drop their drawers and drop to their knees and worship a god-of-the-moment, a god that gives and gives and gives and then when you think you're done, he gives some more. Have you ever taken a man in your arms and gotten lost in his, not like in a game of Twister but in the twisted game of life where you're so close your body becomes an extension of his and his of yours, until you are spent, drained, drowsy--and hungry! Not hungry for food--although you wouldn't turn down a pizza--but a deep hunger, a hunger from the soul that is at once satiated and reborn, a moment when the exclamations "Oh, GOD!" and "Oh, F*CK!" are for the first time synonymous. A moment when you say "This is not merely good. This is Merman-in-Gypsy good. This is Streisand-in-Central-Park good. This is Judy-at-Carnegie-Hall good. This is REAL good." A moment when you look at the man who has made you feel alive for the first time and complete in a new-found way, and you say to him, "What the F*CK was your name again?" And he tells you and you repeat it slowly and you realize that somehow you have always known that would be his name.

Right, Phyllis?

I sooooo want a cigarette now!

That is almost exactly what I meant. And honestly, I'd hope that everyone could have that at least once in his life.
