It's good to know there are no security privileges for celebs at Dodger Stadium. On Sunday, Mary Hart and her husband, Bert Sugarman, were stopped by guards because his bag was bigger than stadium rules allow. Sugarman grumbled to the unimpressed guards, "My wife is singing the National Anthem today," adding, "I'm sitting next to [Dodgers owner] Frank McCourt." After supervisors reiterated the policy to him, Sugarman took the bag back to his car. "It's the first time in my life that my husband was reprimanded for having a bigger bag than me," Hart said through a spokesman.
