Missed Connections in Shreveport: Mr. and Mrs. Bush Edition
We've been captivated by news of this bar brawl involving the cast of "W." Barring the delicious humor of a drunken altercation springing from the tale of a former drinker, we can't believe it was Jeffrey Wright who got Tased. Don't you know he's playing Colin Powell?!
In any case, it's time to bring the love back to Shreveport. We need to keep the place safe for our stars, before they all go to Canada or the Czech Republic. Put your fists away and feel the love at these hot spots:

So Who Started That Louisiana Bar Brawl?
Looks like Josh Brolin and other cast and crew of the movie "W" weren't as rowdy as initial reports led us to believe. While no one is disputing that lighting tech Eric Felland got tossed from the bar, cell phone video taken at the scene reportedly shows cops using pepper spray on Brolin and fellow actor Jeffrey Wright.
When that didn't subdue them, a Taser was used on Wright, police admitted. But TMZ is reporting that racial slurs were also directed at the actor, who is black.
The city attorney plans to file charges against the actors for interfering with police officers, though a final decision on that hasn't been reached. We already knew that Shreveport was making a play to become the Hollywood of the South, but we didn't expect heavy-handed police tactics to be one of the ways the town would channel LA.

"W" Caught Brawling in Louisiana
Actor Josh Brolin and six others involved in the production of Oliver Stone's new movie "W" were arrested in Shreveport early Saturday morning after starting drama at a local club.
The Stray Cat bar had to call in the cops when lighting technician Eric Felland wouldn't leave quietly; things really got out of hand when his fellow cast and crew tussled with police trying to toss the tech.
Unfortunately, Kid Rock wasn't involved in this one, so we can't update that map.
