Harrison Ford Hauled Away From Post-Oscar Party By Cops!

Harrison Ford is, apparently, so deeply influenced by his Indiana Jones alter-ego that he can't just, you know, go the Oscars and the parties and drink heavily before being parcelled home in a limousine like all the other celebrities. Harrison needs to go the Oscars and the Oscar parties and get liquored up and escorted home in the backseat of a police car.

Okay, I don't know about the liquored up part, but I do know that he was - with partner Callista Flockhart (who, between you and me, needs a sammich even more desperately than does Courtney Love) - escorted home from Elton John's Oscar party in a police car. Which, you know, is pretty wild and crazy stuff for a guy who's, what? In his sixties? Even if the cop-escort was just because his own car-and-driver went missing.

According to E! Online, Harrison and Callista just got stranded, and needed a lift:

They were standing outside waiting for their car to pick them up,” a source reports. “They called and called and called the car, but the driver never showed.”

Deputies from the West Hollywood Sheriff's Station came to the rescue. They offered Indiana Jones and the Brothers & Sisters star a lift.

"Harrison and Calista accepted and were taken home in the back of a squad car!" says my source.

A spokesman for the Sheriff's Department insists the missing car became a public safety issue because people were crowding around Ford and Flockhart. They were driven less than a mile to the Sunset Tower hotel to visit some friends, the rep says.

So it wasn't facing a speeding three-ton boulder or face-melting Lost-Ark-farts, but whatevs. Still kinda exciting.
