Reese Witherspoon and her husband James Toth were arrested Friday in Atlanta, where she is currently living while shooting an indie drama called The Good Lie. Toth was driving drunk, which is the real problem, let’s be serious (guys, why don’t you hire someone to drive you?) (you have a lot of money!) but while Toth was being placed under arrest Reese turned it into a STORY-story when she let out the #1 CELEBRITY NO-NO PHRASE! AHH, REESE! From Variety:

Once Toth was placed under arrest, Witherspoon exited the vehicle and was instructed to get back in the car. According to the report, she “stated that she was a ‘US citizen’ and that she was allowed to ‘stand on American ground.’” [Ed Note: Hahah, noooo.]

The officer then detailed how she resisted as he grabbed her arms to arrest as Toth attempted to calm her down.

As the report details, “Mrs. Witherspoon asked, “Do you know my name?” I answered, “No, I don’t need to know your name.” I then added, “right now.” Mrs. Witherspoon stated, “You’re about to find out who I am.”

EEEEEEEEEEEEK! Which brings us to our reason not to be famous: Without giving too much leeway to this lady who just yelled at a cop for doing his job and protecting her and other drivers, you have to imagine that one you become a celebrity, if you even retain an ounce of normal human sensibility, you must be terrified of accidentally saying the #1 celebrity no-no phrase “DO YOU KNOW WHO I AM?” Especially if you would never want to say it!  And you’re so conscious of not wanting to say it, because you’re a narcissist, that it becomes ingrained in your brain and, after your one millionth drink, your brain thinks, “Hey, what’s this? This seems pretty good, let’s bust this out.” (Like that thing you accidentally told that person at that party the one time?) (The ONE THING you knew you didn’t want to say?!) And then you read about it on every single blog the next day. Ugggghhhhhhhh.  I’m not saying that this is what happened to Ms. Witherspoon (whose response you can read here), who knows, maybe she just says this all the time & luvs it so much, but I AM saying that once our eyelash wish to be a hot hot celeb is about to be granted, let’s give it a few seconds of thought. (To be fair, though — Reason To Be Famous #889: Super nice breakfasts. So.)
