    Oh Noes! 'LAT' Stifles Funny Choire Line!

    Images-5-6Tasty former Gawker chief and current New York Observer scribe Choire Sicha did his best to squeeze something interesting out of Saved by the Bell person Elizabeth Berkley in a freelance interview for The Los Angeles Times, but his editors were having none of it. Choire says on his website that they cut this bit from the piece.

    Me: Where are you shortsighted? Are you bad at, uh, tax time?

    Elizabeth Berkley: I dunno! Aren't we talking about the projects I'm doing or no?

    To be fair, the editors did leave in "questions" like this one: "All the dancers I know live off cigarettes and Diet Coke and sometimes crystal meth." [ChoireSicha / LAT]
