Singer and Twitter-verse performance artist du jour, Chris “Little Breezy” Brown, had a car booboo with a wall Saturday afternoon in Beverly Hills, CA. According to TMZ, Chris Brown’s rep said that he was on his way to a charity event when he was allegedly cut off by two paparazzi driven vehicles whose occupants jumped out and proceeded to attempt to take pictures of the star. Brown, distraught by the event, and to show the paparazzi who’s boss, in fine artistic form, proceeded to drive into a wall in an alley near the 600 Block of Bedford and Camden Drive.
According to a statement by the Beverly Hills Police Department, “On February 9, 2013 at approximately 12:03pm, entertainer Chris Brown was involved in a solo, non-injury traffic collision. Mr. Brown was the driver of the vehicle and collided with a wall. Brown stated that he was being chased by paparazzi causing him to lose control of his vehicle. Brown’s Black Porsche was towed from the scene at his request.”
Why is it that these douchebags always drive Porches? Don’t they know that when a Porsche drives by, the paparazzi’ gossip tails automatically perk up and wag at the prospect of getting that million dollar shot of a douchebag in a Porsche? I’ve heard douchebag Porsche pics sell for at least 20 percent above market. That’s an even better mark-up than what they’d get for a celebrity baby pic. I could be wrong, but I’m a econ expert, so I don’t think so.
