But What I Really Want To Talk About Is iPhone-Gate

jason-bateman-jumping.jpgSure, Mel Gibson's insane racism has reached new despicable heights. Chris Brown has recently been revealed as the woman-beating fake that he's always been. But what I really want to talk about is Jason Bateman. That asshole cut in line for an iPhone, at the behest of an Apple employee. Get him! Details, via WWTDD

[Last Thursday, Jason Bateman was in line with 2,000 other people for the new iPhone when an Apple employee brought him inside the store so he could skip the line and get his first. On Twitter Bateman said the crowd was cool about it...

"There wasn't one boo. Not one hiss. The Apple guy brought me in away from the paparazzi. Period. I was content in line. I wish I'd stayed."

Well obviously it wasn't "away from the paparazzi" because you can see the pictures right here. It's not like they tunneled into the store. But was he telling the truth about the crowd? Well, no. At least not according to Us Magazine...

"It was loud, passive-aggressive anger. There was a chorus of boos and then people shouting, 'What?' and 'We've been here for hours!' We were patiently waiting before then [and] that just made everyone's blood boil."
Bateman arrived to the L.A. Apple store around 4:45 A.M., and initially waited "like everybody else." But around 10 A.M., he was escorted inside first.]

Umm, Bateman is a pretty successful guy. I'll bet that he employs an assistant to take abuse from the crowd next time. Or is that Chris Brown? I got issued some pain pills after minor surgery and now I can't keep anything straight around here today. I feel so Lohan-esque! Meanwhile, given the company that Jason is keeping in this post, can't we give him a pass? The dude got there at 4:45 AM with every intent of waiting. It's not like he strolled to the front of the line at 10 AM without bothering to wait at all. Most celebrities would have demanded special treatment and then some. He gave us Arrested Development - can't we give him a little forgiveness?
