Perez Hilton Takes Flight with Crazy Lindsay Lohan Rumor

(PerezHilton.com)

When Gossip Cop was very, very young, we learned not to believe in leprechauns, unicorns, or Perez Hilton’s sources.

Today America’s favorite fact-challenged blogger “scooped” everyone with a story about Lindsay Lohan keeping a commercial British Airways flight from Los Angeles to London waiting for two hours while she shopped.

According to Perez, once getting to the airport Lohan was hit with a “$22,000 stalling fine for keeping the plane grounded,” and in “a HIGHlarious turn of events, she couldn’t come up with a credit card that had a high enough limit to pay the charge!!!!!”

You read that correctly.

Perez Hilton believes intercontinental flights filled with paying customers will wait for a celebrity — for hours — as long as a magical “stalling fine” is paid.

Gossip Cop had a nice long laugh, pulled it together, and simply asked British Airways what Perez could have asked : Whether any flights from Los Angeles to London had even been delayed for two hours.

Nope, a rep for British Airways told us.

Then Gossip Cop asked whether someone could keep hundreds of people waiting so long as he or she pays a “stalling fine.”

To no one’s surprise, British Airways assured us no such thing exists.

Much like leprechauns, unicorns, and Perez Hilton’s credibility.
