bet he wishes he could have flown his own plane to France.....

I Still think the story is fishy - I don't believe much the media has to say anymore..... I think the man is smart enough to know what he can and cannot do.

This is Page Six...95% of it is pure horse manure. The other 5% is stuff D-list celebrities' cut-rate publicists call in themselves.

I am inclined to agree with Nina, this whole thing is beginning to sound like rumour mongering from a scandal sheet which doesn't hold Jimmy or his fans in very high regard, as evidenced by the review in the following post:

Let's just hope Mr. Buffett's lawyers are working on the libel suit as we speak.

It looks like basically no one else picked up the story so I doubt there's much "damage"...not worth the time or cost.

The only newswire service that picked it up was UPI and their version had no mention of illicit drugs...just that he was detained and fined for having too many of some kind of pill. Jimmy may not be an "A list" celeb to the rest of the world, but there's no way it stays this quiet if there was any substantiated truth to the story.

I'm thinking the Post writers might have been confusing their pills with Jimmy's....

You don't consider UPI to be a reputable news source, even if they misspell Buffett?

Yeh, that must have been posted in the past hour or so, because I was just on the site at 7 EST and nothing was on, and now at 815 there was a statement. That was really smart of him, to get his story out before it gets too out of control with rumors and such.

What happened? A message from Jimmy Buffett...
POSTED OCTOBER 6, 2006

I have tried over the years, to live below the radar when it comes to the "celebrity" thing. I see what I do as just a job, a really fun job that has opened the world, its people and places. However, I seem to still have a way of causing commotion now and then.

In Toulon, we arrived at the private terminal to leave and were moving through security, when my captain informed me that we were being ramp checked by French customs and some plainclothes guys. This is nothing new but what was strange was that the search was being conducted as we were leaving - not as we were arriving. No big deal - I thought. I found my bag and opened it up and they went right for a little pouch which contained my prescription medicines which was sitting on top of my clothes, not the most secretive part of my bag. I don't know about you, but at a few months away from turning sixty, I carry a few prescriptions, including a B vitamin supplement, called Foltx.

Well, that's the one that deflated the party balloon for when they examined them you could see a heart on the pill. "Ecstasy," they said. I have never taken it and couldn't tell you the difference between a hit of ecstasy and Excedrin PM. My vices these days consist of boat drinks, beer, wine and the occasional hot fudge sundae. I hadn't even opened the bottle, because my secretary had made a mistake and had sent the wrong prescription. I don't use Foltx any more.

I knew Foltx was a vitamin supplement not a love drug. I paid the fine, gathered my bags and my friends and as soon as they opened that door, I walked, rather rapidly towards my plane and flew out.

In Toulon, the stern faced authorities couldn't take the truth as the simple answer to a few simple questions, trying to turn vitamins into ecstasy. In these days and times, the truth sadly gets lost in the gossip at an alarming rate.

In the end, I will just chalk it up as being something that will happen if you have an adventurous soul and live a nomad life. I will, as my old hero Mark Twain put it, be "lighting out into the territory". The great old humorist Lord Richard Buckley used to say in one of his routines that humor is the absence of terror and that terror is the absence of humor. It seems there are too many people in the world intent on building fences, not bridges between cultures and fueling misinformation with heightened suspicions and senseless interrogations. I never was, nor do I ever intend to answer to or become one of those people. I will take my cue from Lord Buckley and keep on singing and laughing. That's my story and I'm stickin' to it.

I think a mass e-mailing to the NY post might be in order.

Have a safe trip home Jimmy!
