New Zealand director Lee Tamahori has been arrested for prostitution.

The 55-year-old was picked up during a police prostitution sting on Hollywood's Santa Monica Boulevard on January 8.

Tamahori was arraigned in a Los Angeles court today and officially charged with soliciting.

Los Angeles Police Department spokesman Officer Jason Lee says the director was dressed as a woman, and approached an undercover policeman. He says he bailed himself two hours after his arrest and booking.

Lee Tamahori directed the New Zealand box office hit Once Were Warriors, and more recently the James Bond movie Die Another Day starring Pierce Brosnan and Halle Berry.

that is the funniest thing Ive seen in a long time.

So I saw the late night news item on it, they described his dress and everything.

What bugs me and what they did not mention is was the cop a woman or a man?

The Die Another Day director, 55, was arrested in Hollywood last month, after he approached an undercover police officer who was in his car, entered the vehicle and offered to perform a sex act for money, according to entertainment news site Tmz.com. Tamahori was arrested, booked and charged with prostitution and unlawfully loitering with the intent to commit prostitution. The director is being represented in court by Michael Jackson's former defence lawyer Mark Geragos.


Wait what?

HE offered the cop for sex for money? And the cop was a guy?

:eww:

I just don't really understand it. Surely he can afford to not have to be a prostitute. Maybe he's on the P.

Well obviously he enjoys meeting new men.

There have been famous, rich and powerful people who have put themselves in sexually compromising places throughout history - one of the Roman Emperor's wife worked as a prostitute for fun.

He offered sex to the cop in exchange for the cop paying him.



It will be interesting to see the US authorities deal with this, apparently he could face up to a year in jail.

Someone will get an Oscar in twenty years time playing the lead in the movie about his life.

Boondock Saints, very clever.

Lee Tamahori is my idol.

He's my nomination for Kiwi of the Year, 2006.

Buy the man a beer, a new dress and a fresher wig, somebody!

This whole incident is an example of the serious perversions in existence. He should be sentenced to hard labor, regardless of his artistic achievements. :chiang:

Hard labour on your cock.
