Messing mishap

Will & Grace beauty Debra Messing might have caused another Hollywood shoplifting scandal - when she mistakenly walked out of a posh store with a pair of expensive jeans she hadn’t paid for.

The actress was shopping at Beverly Hills' Saks Fifth Avenue - the same store where Girl Interrupted star Winona Ryder was caught stealing - where she fell in love with a $370 (€322) pair of jeans.

But a staff error caused Messing to leave the store without paying for the jeans.

A source explains, "The clerk who waited on Debra was so excited by the sight of his favorite sitcom star that he forgot to charge her for one of the items she selected. Debra realized the mistake when she got home and looked at the receipt."

The honest actress quickly phoned the store from her home and arranged for the jeans to be charged to her account.
