Harrison's Oscar-Night Sheriffeur
On Sunday night, some stars opted for limos, others a green-friendly Prius. But for Harrison Ford and Calista Flockhart, only the back of a squad car would do.
As originally reported by E! Online senior editor Marc Malkin, the Hollywood heavies were forced to hitch a ride with Los Angeles County Sheriff's deputies after a little postkudos partying at Elton John's star-studded bash.
Upon leaving the rocker's annual AIDS Foundation benefit party, which this year raised a record $5.1 million for John's charity, the camera-ready couple was faced with the only-in-Tinseltown indignity of being unable to locate their limo driver.
A spokesperson for the West Hollywood Sheriff's Department told E! News that while Ford and Flockhart fruitlessly called for their car, fellow revelers began to descend on the duo en masse, supposedly leaving an on-duty deputy no choice but to offer the couple a ride away from the madness.
Taxpayers will be pleased to know the sheriff-powered shuttle was only offered to Ford and Flockhart after deputies deemed it a necessary "public safety measure," lest anything happen to the once and future Indiana Jones.
The couple were chauffeured to the Sunset Tower Hotel on Sunset Boulevard, less than a mile away from John's party locale. Ford and Flockhart, safe and sound, were able to pay a visit to some friends.
Earlier in the evening, Ford appeared onstage at the Oscars, where he presented the award for Best Original Screenplay to Juno's Diablo Cody.
He also cozied up to Barbara Walters, appearing on her Oscar special to discuss Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull and his own lack of a golden statuette.
"You know, the Oscar represents the respect of your peers," he said on the show. "But I respect my peers, the people I work with, and I'd rather earn their respect on the set day by day—that means more to me than an award."
