Here she goes again
First she seduced Tom Hanks. Then she seduced every hair-metal fan by writhing around on the hood of a car. Ah, Tawny Kitaen. Where have you been?
Tawny's back in the news today -- for announcing that she's entering rehab. (Sadly, it's not for sexual addiction). The 45-year-old Kitaen was facing a 3-year gig in jail on cocaine possession charges, but she cut a deal and will send six months in a drug rehab program, her lawyer told reporters today.
Tawny's had an interesting life:
-- Dated O.J. Simpson (and escaped alive).
-- Was the only person in the Tom Hanks movie Bachelor Party who did NOT go topless.
-- Simonized the car (among other things) of Whitesnake singer David Coverdale.
-- Attacked All-Star pitcher Chuck Finley (her then-husband) with her high-heeled shoes.
How come Tawny gets busted for drugs and ends up in rehab for six months while people like Boy George and George Michael get nabbed repeatedly and end up sweeping streets?

Perhaps she could use those stiletto heels to spear trash while doing a community service gig...
