Ok, this story is just BIZARRRR! Apparently Lee Tamahori (director of “Die Another Day” and “XXX: State of the Union) has been arrested in Hollywood. Why was he arrested? Well… the BBC article explains it better than I could:
James Bond director Lee Tamahori was arrested for allegedly approaching an undercover police officer and offering to perform a sex act for money. Los Angeles city attorney’s office said Mr Tamahori was dressed in a black wig and dress when arrested in Hollywood. He was charged with soliciting an act of prostitution and loitering with the intent to commit prostitution.
Holy crap. I know XXX 2 sucked… but I didn’t think the guy would be THIS hard up (haha… oh shut up). Like I said, this is easily the most strange news I’ve hear this year so far. I can’t wait to hear how he explains it. Maybe he’ll say he was just doing research for an upcoming movie. Thanks to Hamid for the Heads up.
