Nigella is barred from U.S. over drug confession: Domestic Goddess turned back at Heathrow..
UK Daily Mail ^ | April 3, 2014 | Sam Mardsen and Neil Sears

Nigella Lawson has been banned from the US because of her court confession that she took cocaine. Humiliatingly, the celebrity cook was stopped from boarding a flight from Heathrow to Los Angeles, the Daily Mail can reveal today. Her television career in the U.S. - she is a judge on talent show The Taste - is now in peril. The 54-year-old ‘Domestic Goddess’ was forced to confess under oath during a trial last year that she had snorted cocaine seven times and smoked cannabis in front of her children. Although Scotland Yard did not act over her confession, the U.S. authorities are taking a tougher stance.

I love Nigella. She taught me how to cook!

Let the lady in! Would it help to write anyone to change this?

"I can’t wait until the next time the Rolling Stones try to enter this country..."

Hah, I saw a story on Facebook that quoted her as saying: "What about Keith F***ing Richards? He wanders in and out of the U.S. like he owns the place. Why is he allowed to keep coming back?"

And of course someone quickly replied: "Well Nigella, it's because he IS Keith "F***ing" Richards and you're not!"

That should become a new standard FR acronym: in before drug warriors justify outrageous government behavior. I’m expecting at any moment some of the usual suspects who vigorously argue for the “War on Drugs” to show up and say what a wonderful thing it is for the U.S. to exclude foreigners on the basis of past drug use.

54 YEARS OLD???!

I'm a happily married man, and I wouldn't trade my wife for anything in the world. I'm just saying that that is simply impressive.

I would think her racist name alone would bar her from entry to the U.S.

Just imagine if someone were named NigDashian.

Well, you can’t even visit Canada if you’ve had a DUI. It’s not like the U.S. is the only country with these laws.

I love full-figured women and confess to having had a crush on the lovely Nigella for a long time.

I’d pull an Obama and let her in on an executive order, the law be d-mned.

Twenty years ago a Canadian guy I know was denied entry to the US at the border because of one misdemeanor cannabis conviction from the 1970s. So this isn’t particularly new, unfortunately.
