Fiona Apple Gets Nasty Letter From Texas Sheriff Department Telling Her to "Shut Up and Sing"

Texas is weird...


The Fiona Apple arrest story just keeps getting crazier. Over the weekend, the singer-songwriter feverishly ranted to a Houston crowd, threatening to expose four unnamed people who'd displayed "inappropriate and probably illegal" behavior during her jail experience. ("I'll make you fucking famous any time you ask.&quot Now, a representative from the Hudspeth County (Texas) Sheriff's Department has written her a letter in retort, as TMZ posts.

According to this guy's note, Fiona Apple is not famous, nobody cares about her, and she just needs to "shut up and sing." Okay, Hudspeth County Sheriff's Department Public Information Officer Rusty Fleming! Via TMZ:

First, Honey, I’m already more famous than you, I don't need your help. However, it would appear that you need mine....

Two weeks ago nobody in the country cared about what you had to say, -- now that you’ve been arrested it appears your entire career has been jump-started. Don’t worry Sweetie, I won't bill you...
