Lark Voorhies is No Jodie Sweetin

May 31, 2006

OK, so I almost crashed my car this morning when they mentioned Lark Voorhies on the radio.  Apparently she's suing the National Enquirer:

Lark Voorhies, the actress who played Lisa Turtle in TV's 'Saved by the Bell,' has sued the National Enquirer for allegedly libeling her with accusations she had a cocaine addiction.

In a filing Tuesday in Los Angeles Superior Court, Voorhies is asking for unspecified punitive damages as a result of the June 2005 article, which quoted a "friend" of Voorhies' as saying she has a "terrible drug problem" and was "bipolar."

The actress says the allegations are false.

Uh, clearly the National Enquirer made that shit up, because I'm pretty sure Lisa learned her lesson about risky behaviors after the kids all drank beer at the toga party and they crashed her mom's car.  Everyone knows that if any of those kids are doing drugs, it's Addiction Queen Jessie:

At least they weren't dumb enough to accuse Kelly of anything.  Thanks to YouTube, her stance on drug use has been archived for posterity:

One thing I learned in journalism school is that libel is really hard to prove.  But one thing I learned from Saved by the Bell is that nobody messes with Lisa Turtle.  In conclusion, the Enquirer is goin' down.

More importantly, if you're a washed up former child star and you aren't doing cocaine, I really have to reccomend that you start.
