BAI LING SHOPS 5 AT FINGER DISCOUNT

Chinese actress and strange person Bai Ling was arrested Wednesday after allegedly shoplifting two celebrity magazines and two packets of batteries at Los Angeles International Airport, AP is reporting Feb. 14.

The items had a total value of $16, said Sgt. Jim Holcomb of the airport’s police department. The 41-year-old actress was detained by a store employee who summoned police, Holcomb said.

She was booked for investigation of misdemeanor shoplifting and released after agreeing to appear in court on March 5. An e-mail message seeking comment sent to Ling’s agent on Thursday was not immediately returned.

Ling has appeared in such films as “The Crow” and “Anna and the King” and in the television series “Lost.”

The day of her arrest, she posted a message on her blog with a photo of herself at the airport waiting for a delayed flight. She made no mention of her arrest, instead wondering whether people were “rushing in the cold wind to work” after the Chinese New Year.

“Life is a sad song sometime but still sings the beauty for their loved ones,” she wrote.
