Lainie Kazan had her big, fat Christmas Eve plans come to screeching halt after she was arrested Sunday for stealing food.
Law enforcement sources tell TMZ … The “My Big Fat Greek Wedding” star went to a Gelson’s in the San Fernando Valley at 4PM and loaded her cart with $180 worth of groceries. We’re told she put the food into several reusable bags and walked out to her car.
That’s when someone from the store stopped her and cops were called. Our sources say her excuse for walking out without paying first … she said she had no money on her.
Lainie was arrested for petty theft, handcuffed and taken to a police station where she was cited and released without bail.
Lainie’s got decades of acting under her belt but burst onto the scene when she starred as the hilarious mom Maria Portokalos in the major hit 2002 Indie film.
We reached out to Lainie’s rep … so far no word back.
Lainie, the 0bama era is over.
Maybe she thought she was entitled, you know, Hollywood and all.
Seriously, if she’s not trying to get in the headlines – a typical stunt for Hollyweird has beens, she better get checked for dementia.
Is that the talent agent from Pee Wee Herman, you know
” The man from the Hamburger Stand “or OOHH Mavelous !
“Our sources say her excuse for walking out without paying first … she said she had no money on her”.
I call embellishment, if she was using hippie sacks, she could’ve spaced it. I notice they don’t have video.
She’s done some great stuff. What a sultry voice and still hot and sexy even after she went up several dress sizes. I always crushed on her and still do.

Gelsons. Great salad bar, but nothing worth stealing.
She obviously learned nothing from the Winona Ryder shoplifting affair — career totally wrecked !
She’s 77 and it could well be dementia.
“She’s done some great stuff. What a sultry voice and still hot and sexy even after she went up several dress sizes. I always crushed on her and still do.”
You and me both, dude.
welll she was huuuuuunnnnnggggggrrrrryyyyyy!
Stars, celegrites, and formerly vipreznits shouldn ‘t has to pay for shit.
an thas a fack!
You have to have at least two hit movies to get away with shoplifting.
Great voice and presence. I hope she’s not secretly broke.
Sounds like she may have some mental health issues.
Did she have her publicist and agent with her?
She was sort of the competition against Barbara Streisand. But I favored Kazan, because her voice had depth. Striesand’s was gutless in comparison.
I would think she would have an account at the store, if it is where she always shops. There is always more to the story.
You cant arrest me, its Christmas.
The Demoncrat farce is strong in this one!
So when Wynonna Ryder was busted for shop lifting a decade or two ago, she set out to ruin the life of the poor security guard who caught her red-handed. Will Lainie do the same?
