Jillian Lauren found herself in the headlines this week after she was shot and injured by police, who later arrested her on charges of attempted murder. Authorities say she aimed a 9mm handgun at officers.
The 51-year-old Lauren is the wife of Weezer bassist Scott Shriner, and is also a bestselling author who first made her name with a memoir about her years as a member of a 25-strong harem of women employed by Prince Jefri Bolkiah, brother of the Sultan of Brunei, between 1992 and 1995.
