| Lo Fun Fact #1 |
| "Lolita Files" is my real name. It is not a pen name, as incredible as that may seem. There are plenty of Files family members and people who have known me for years capable of validating this. As for the "Lolita" part, my mother named me after the movie based on Nabokov's book, although she saw or read neither. For as long as she lived, she had no idea there was anything sexual or seedy about being called "Lolita". |
| Lo Fun Fact #2 |
| I love fried chicken and fabulous shoes (although obviously I can't eat fried chicken nearly as much as I'd like). If you ever want to get on my good side, send Popeye's or Church's (that's right, I said Church's) and a pair of
Christian Louboutins. |
| Lo Fun Fact #3 |
| Never show up unannounced or without a Pepsi. Better yet, how about not showing up at all? |
| Lo Fun Fact #4 |
| I hate the telephone. Don't get mad if I don't call you or take a long time to return your calls. I don't call anyone. Don't call me asking why I don't call. Just don't call, okay? (Exception: I will happily take all calls related to business or to share fun/exciting/major news. I'm just not one for jawing on the phone just to be jawing.) |
| Lo Fun Fact #5 |
| I love the internet!!! I love communicating through the internet!!! You can e-mail me and odds are I'll e-mail you right back (if I'm not in the middle of a major project). Makes up for my hangup about the phone, doesn't it? See, I'm not so bad after all!!! |
| Lo Fun Fact #6 |
| I can't stand IMing. Please don't IM me. I'm always on my laptop and connected to the internet as I work and when IM's pop into my screen out of nowhere, they break my concentration and often startle the sh*t out of me in the process. So don't do it. You will get the cold shoulder. I don't like giving people the cold shoulder, so please don't put me in that position. |
| Lo Fun Fact #7 |
I have four five six wonderful, slap-happy dogs and a cat, all of whom I love to pieces. I had a bird (a Roller pigeon that I rescued in LA on New Year's Day in 2004) named B-Bird (what? that's a good name!) who passed away in February 2009, which broke my widdle heart in half. He loved me so, as I did him. If you meet me and ask me about my dogs and cat, we'll be instant friends, and if you ask about B-Bird, I'll probably hug you (unless you smell...wash first). If you meet me and ask me why the f*ck I have four five six dogs and a cat, see the above fun fact for how I will respond. |

| Trying to make a case |
| Tuesday, January 30, 2007 |
Sometimes what turns out to be an unfortunate accident ends up getting turned into a career event for those in law enforcement. The California Highway Patrol recommended Monday that actress-singer Brandy be charged with misdemeanor vehicular manslaughter in a freeway crash that killed a woman motorist last month, a city attorney's spokesman told The Associated Press. The CHP referred the matter to the city attorney's office for review, said spokesman Nick Velasquez. "The office is currently reviewing the case and determining whether the evidence warrants the filing of a misdemeanor charge of vehicular manslaughter," Velasquez said. A message seeking comment from Brandy's publicist, Courtney Barnes, was not immediately returned. Earlier this month, Barnes issued a statement saying Brandy "wishes to publicly express her condolences to the family of the deceased."
Barnes also has said Brandy wasn't under the influence of drugs or alcohol at the time of the crash.
The charge carries a maximum sentence of one year in county jail and a $1,000 fine, Velasquez said.
Hopefully they want try and make a case of this. It seems that it was clearly an accident and that no foul play was at hand.

interesting that it took nearly a "month" for this story to come out into the media....and someone died?
although, the road conditions aren't mention of why the traffic slowed, weather, accident ahead, etc. the police have determined that brandy was driving faster than the conditions allowed, hence causing the accident and being at fault. they're not really throwing the "book" at her...only with a "misdemeanor"
but...
the family will sue big time for big buck$ cause she would be at fault. a civil suit a la O.J.
more than likely, that's what pushing this whole secrecy thing and the CHP are making sure they don't screw it up.

Seems like they'd have to prove some type of negligence on Brandy's part. No matter what, I'm there for her even for the conjugal visits.

that's fugg'd up matt!!!!
you dun threw away the key awlready!
but on the real, i don't see how she can get outta this one unless the brakes failed, tire blew, or some other mechanical failure. i can tell you right now, the land rover attorneys are already over this accident to prevent further damage control and to not be considered negligible in the accident.
