In a gift to bloggers everywhere, actress Bai-Ling (best known as bat-shit crazy Bai-Ling) was arrested yesterday at LAX for shop lifting AAA batteries and some magazines.

Bai Ling was placed under citizen's arrest by a shop employee and was "cooperative but crying" when taken away by airport police. She'll appear in court on May 5th.

Her blog--and she does have one--indicates she's in Albuquerque, working. She's cast as a prostitute in Love Ranch, produced and directed by Taylor Hackford.

She tells E! that she'd just broken up with a new beau, thus the need for batteries. (We made that up.)
