  Then some Twitter scamps muddied the water even further by adding Alley's picture

  
  The New York Times exasperatedly made a clarification:
  
  

  "An extremely unexpected player was drawn into the bridge scandal on Friday morning: the actress Kirstie Alley.
  
  A Twitter user named Philip Winn took the actual New York Times headline "Christie Ally to Plead Guilty in New Jersey Bridge Closings" and illustrated it with a photo of Ms. Alley, who has not been linked to the scandal in any way."

  Kirstie, who again had nothing to do with this scandal, responded over twitter

  
  
  In the end, she took it all in stride:
  
  

  Gotta say Im kinda lovin my power right now ... I can add "Major Bridge Closer Downer" to my resume
