Lindsay Lohan Arrested in New York
COSTELLO: Ok. We need to laugh now. So Mitt Romney admits his comments about the 47 percent of America were not elegantly stated. So how could Mitt Romney have said it better? Comedian Steven Colbert has an idea.</s>STEVEN COLBERT, COMEDIAN: I will now deliver Mitt's core message for this time with a little bit more panache. These people are just greedy parasites sucking on the withered teat of Lady Liberty and oh how thy hunger knows no bounds. Winslow, bring me the shrimps and the mindless masses. Come on. Come in. Yes, there we go. Thank you, Winslow. Thank you, now, hold still, hold still. Ok. There you go. There you go. See how they love it. See.</s>COSTELLO: Ok. We have to talk about Lindsay Lohan, we do, and she found herself in handcuffs again. She is now accused of hitting a man with her Porsche while driving through a crowded area between a hotel and a restaurant in New York. And of course, everybody is saying, "Oh, come on, Lindsay, what's up with you?" Nischelle Turner from "SHOWBIZ TONIGHT" is in Los Angeles and I'm not sure you can answer that question, but tell us a little bit more about what happened?</s>NISCHELLE TURNER, CNN ENTERTAINMENT CORRESPONDENT: Yes, we went from just laughing to not -- right, Carol.</s>COSTELLO: No.</s>TURNER: And we've got to talk about this now. Here is what we do know, though. An NYPD spokesperson tells CNN that Lindsay Lohan was entering the parking area of a hotel in New York's Chelsea neighborhood a little bit after midnight in her Porsche. Now she hit a pedestrian as she was entering the driveway, she went on, she parked her car and she went into the hotel, the pedestrian was taken to the hospital with non-life threatening injuries to his knee, I think it was. Police arrested Lohan though around 2:30 in the morning when she was leaving the hotel. They took her to a precinct where she was processed, she was released on her own recognizance. Now she is accused of leaving the scene of an accident. Police say drugs and alcohol, not suspected in this case. We are reaching out though to Lindsay's camp for comment. Now this of course is just the latest in the long list of brushes with the law for Lindsay Lohan who has been trying to put her legal troubles behind her and resume her acting career. But she's been on probation for a 2007 conviction for driving under the influence. She was also convicted of shoplifting and had been on probation for that offense as well. She was sent to jail several times for violating the terms of her probation but in March an L.A. judge actually praised her for completing her community service and therapy work and she ended her probation in a DUI case and reduced the shoplifting probation to unsupervised status. But you know with this latest thing, it's really too soon to tell whether the arrest in New York could affect her legal issues here in California. So we'll have to see.</s>COSTELLO: Ok. Well, let's pivot and talk about Barbara Streisand. I can't believe how much --</s>TURNER: Yes, let's talk about Babs.</s>COSTELLO: Yes, incredible.</s>TURNER: It is. You know she is officially now the highest priced touring act of all time. This is according to the "Huffington Post," fans who want to see her perform live in Brooklyn, New York on October 11th and 13th -- mark those dates -- but get ready to take the money out of your wallet, $1,500 plus a service fee of $75 for one ticket.</s>COSTELLO: What?</s>TURNER: That's not even like a table of ten, one ticket. Tickets from resellers and scalpers are going for as much as $12,000 online -- $12,000. Now for Streisand's last tour in 1994, ticket prices topped out at $100. So you talk about inflation, right? You may be asking, what the heck happened here? Well, Barbara Streisand isn't an artist that goes on the road all the time. There's been an 18 year wait between live tours. So in fact seeing her perform live is really a rare thing. And we should also note even though the tickets are expensive that the proceeds from this tour will go to charities that are supported by her foundation.</s>COSTELLO: $1,500 -- is it a small venue?</s>TURNER: I know. I mean, listen, it better be her in my living room for $1,500.</s>COSTELLO: I'm with you. Nischelle Turner thanks so much.</s>TURNER: Sure. Sure.</s>COSTELLO: Wow. A fire tornado explodes in Australia, it sounded just like a fighter jet. We'll show you more pictures of this rare thing when we come back.
