These celebrities left quitea bit in the tank.
Stars of the new movie “I Love Boosters,” Keke Palmer and LaKeith Stanfield, showed up to anLA gas stationmore than an hour late Tuesday where they were billed to be pumping free gas for dozens of fans.
But moments after posing for photos while filling a car or so each, the actors vanished in blacked out SUVs and did not return.
Throngs of drivers turned up as early as 1am to have the actors fill their tanks, sparking chaos and shutting down the street outside the Shell on West Pico Blvd.
Event staff said 70 cars would get free gas, with a cap of up to $100 per car, but only around 60 got theirs while the remainder got gift cards.
LA cops, who had already been on scene and asking questions about the event’s permit, later shut it down when the crowds and cars interfered with traffic.
They had already ticketed a man who parked on the sidewalk and had a chicken dressed in clothes walking on his tailgate.

For much of the event, even before the stars’ arrival, it was chaos. Fans, press and event staff were strewn across the tiny Shell parking lot.
Cars flowed into the lot and were directed by people who didn’t appear to be working the event. A line of vehicles was pushed down an adjacent alley, making it difficult for some to pass through.
