The Police skinsman was totally busted after an interview with a Chilean newspaper turned into a minor international incident because he questioned the hotness of the country’s (female) president. In Stew’s defense, however, who among us hasn’t found themselves telling a reporter how many beers we’d need to have before we’d be able to bone the leader of a South American country?*
When it comes to Police-related documentaries, you’d think Hollywood types would bank on folks wanting to hear about Sting’s endless love or listen to Stewart Copeland bitch for two hours.

Everyone knows that the Police reunion tour is going to make the band members rich–or at least richer than they used to be, which is pretty good when you consider that most of them can afford to buy private islands and to train monkeys to work as butlers.
