No 'Idol'-ing in traffic court
You know you're officially famous when your moving violations are considered
news. Former "American Idol" contestant and Columbus native Justin
Guarini was due in a court Wednesday in Northampton County, Pa., to answer a
citation for following too closely in a March 12 traffic accident. Ultimately,
Guarini, who's recording and rehearsing in Los Angeles for the upcoming
"American Idol" CD compilation and tour, decided the ticket wasn't
worth a trip from the left coast, his lawyer said. "Flying across the
country is a little extreme for a traffic ticket," said attorney Douglas C.
Roger Jr., who is also the singer's uncle. "He is extremely tied up."
The offense carries a $25 fine and $75 in court costs.
