NOTE FROM KRISTIAN:
A year ago, publicist-to-the-stars Lizzie Grubman
called the bouncers at a trendy nightclub “white trash”
and then backed her Mercedes into a crowd of people
outside, injuring 16. It took her 11 months
to publicly apologize, right before her trial, in
what looked like a bad high school monologue.
She is now serving two months in prison.
