Celebs can walk around NYC with open beverages of alcohol???

Now, as an "almost lawyer," I am fairly familiar with the law of my land, which is NYC. I knew that it is prohibited in NY to walk around with an open container of alcohol, which includes a glass. Apparently, celebs - like Brit and Drew - are exempt from the law.

I'm tell you. It starts with a glass of gin, but it ends with a pardons manslaughter. I watch a lot of Law & Order.

ps: OMG WHAT THE HELL HAPPENED TO CAMERON DIAZ?!?!?!? THAT SHIT IS AWFUL!!!!!
