  Heather Locklear’s DUI tipster also runs a paparazzi agency

  Posted: October 2nd, 2008, 7:37am CDT by Celebitchy

  Tags:  DUI  

  
  The Heather Locklear DUI case just keeps getting more interesting. Locklear was arrested by cops on suspicion of DUI on Saturday. She was not driving at the time of the arrest, but was said to be acting erratically and her car was nearby.

  The person who called the cops on Heather is a former US Weekly staffer who is under investigation by the FBI for downloading celebrity contact information after she left the magazine. What’s more is that it’s just come out that the woman runs a paparazzi agency. Now the questions are whether Heather was really impaired or not, and if she was set up by the woman. Heather did pass the on-scene breathalyser, but cops say she seemed impaired. If she was under the influence of something it may not matter if this woman was following her, waiting to pounce. Here are reports that are coming out on both sides of this story.

  California Highway Patrol: Locklear had ‘obvious impairment’; witness’ vested interest has ‘no bearing on the case’
  TMZ has the police report from the CHP, which states Locklear was obviously impaired. They also talked to a police source who says that it’s not that important if the woman who called police did it for the photos and story. It’s about whether Heather was too impaired to drive or not.

  The woman who reported the DUI also runs a paparazzi agency and was likely following Locklear ahead of calling the cops
  So far TMZ’s reports state that the woman who called the cops on Locklear, Jill Ishkanian, called a photographer immediately, although Ishkanian denies this. They made it seem like she just happened to know the person through her ties to US Weekly, because that’s what she told them. Ishkanian in fact owns a paparazzi agency, Sunset Photo & News, according to an Associated Press report. What’s more is that the sequence of photos put out by Ishkanian suggest that she was following Locklear well ahead of the time that she claims she just happened to run into her driving erratically. According to E! Online, Ishkanian was paid $27,000 by TMZ for the photos of Locklear’s arrest.

  Witness claims Locklear looked fine and not out of it at all
  E! Online has a witness who saw Locklear leaving a store right before the cops arrived. That person says that “She seemed to be acting normal, totally normal. She was just really messy, but not drunk.” They even include the guy’s name in the story, so it sounds like a legitimate report.

  The DA’s office says they’re waiting for the results of the toxicology report to see if they’re going to officially charge Locklear with DUI. The CHP’s “drug recognition expert” claimed that she did seem to be “under the influence of an unspecified drug.”

  This brings up all sorts of issues about paparazzi photographers trying to create the news instead of just document it. I’m reminded of something George Clooney said earlier this year about the paparazzi:

  “These people are being paid so much that they are willing to commit crimes, to break into your house, to cut you off in traffic, to run lights, to slam on the brakes in front of you, to get the money shot. It’s creating bounty hunters.”

  Ishkanian cashed in to the tune of $27,000 for reporting Locklear to the police. Whether Locklear needed to be reported or not is yet to be determined.

  Another driver spotted Heather Lockler wandering in traffic and called cops

  Posted: September 29th, 2008, 10:20am CDT by Celebitchy

  Tags:  DUI  

  
  More details are out about the Heather Locklear DUI bust this Saturday. It turns out that someone spotted her running over a pair of sunglasses repeatedly in a parking lot. It sounds like they followed her to see how she was driving and once they saw that she had pulled over and wandered into traffic they called the cops. (E! words it like they just happened to run into her again - yeah right.) Police determined that she was under the influence of something, not alcohol, and arrested her for DUI:

  According to the incident report, a “concerned citizen” called police after witnessing Locklear, 47, “driving forwards and backwards over a pair of sunglasses and revving her engine” in a parking lot.

  The witness then came upon Locklear again on the road.

  “The citizen became concerned when Ms. Locklear exited her vehicle and stumbled into the traffic lane…the citizen called 911 and reported the entire incident to CHP Ventura Dispatch.”
  When officers arrived Locklear appeared disoriented, per the report, and after giving her a sobriety test they determined she was not suffering the side effects of a booze binge.

  “Although obvious impairment was exhibited during the tests, alcohol was ruled out as a factor,” the CHP said in a statement. Locklear was arrested for suspicion of driving under the influence and taken to the Santa Barbara CHP office.

  “She was evaluated by a drug recognition expert, who concluded Ms. Locklear was under the influence of a controlled substance, and could not safely operate a motor vehicle,” CHP said in a statement.
  Locklear’s publicist declined to comment on the arrest.

  The former Spin City fixture was booked at the Santa Barbara County Jail. She was released at 11 p.m. Saturday on $5,000 bail.

  [From E! Online]

  Have you ever called the cops on someone who looked like they were driving drunk? I’ve done it twice. In one case the guy was ramming into the barrier on the side of the freeway repeatedly and in another a woman was weaving back and forth very drunkenly. Usually you can tell if someone is just driving like an arrogant jerk as if they have to get wherever they’re going yesterday or if they’re too wasted to drive. With those super aggressive drivers I just try and stay out of the way unless they look like they’re going to get into an accident. Some people just drive like that and by the time you think to do something about it they’re gone anyway.

  It sounds like rehab in July didn’t really take for Locklear and she’s still struggling with some kind of prescription addiction.

  As JayBird mentioned yesterday, this is very sad for Locklear’s daughter Ava, nearly 11. Now both of her divorced parents have been arrested for DUI.

  Heather Locklear arrested on suspicion of driving while impaired

  Posted: September 28th, 2008, 12:21pm CDT by Hot Momma

  Tags:  Celebrity DUI  

  Two months after leaving an Arizona rehab facility, Heather Locklear was arrested yesterday on suspicion of driving while impaired. The actress, who had been battling anxiety and depression (or alcohol and prescription-pill dependency) depending on who you believe, was arrested in Santa Barbara County, according to the California Highway Patrol. A resident reported Heather was “driving erratically” while pulling out of a parking lot. The California Highway Patrol then found Locklear’s car parked on a state highway and blocking a lane. Law enforcement officers said alcohol was not involved, however they are conducting tests to determine if Locklear was under the influence of drugs. TMZ reports she was released on her own recognizance, without having to post bail. And as they point out, this could set up a bizarre custody battle given that Locklear and ex hubby Richie Sambora have both been busted for similar charges recently.

  Daniel Dae Kim pleads no contest to drunken driving charges

  Posted: September 13th, 2008, 8:56am CDT by Hot Momma

  Tags:  Celebrity DUI  

  Lost” star Daniel Dae Kim who plays Jin-Soo Kwon on the TV hit show, pleaded no contest to drunken driving charges and was ordered to pay a $500 fine.

  Kim, 40, was arrested Oct. 25 when a police officer spotted him driving erratically in Honolulu. His blood alcohol content was 0.168, more than double the state’s legal limit.

  Kim had his driver’s license revoked for six months and was subjected to a drug-and-alcohol assessment. He was also ordered to pay $212 in court fees and perform 72 hours of community service.

  District Judge William Cardwell scolded Kim, who wore a dark, gray suit and blue shirt in court Thursday.

  “You need to understand that 0.168 is more that double the legal limit. It means you were seriously impaired,” the judge said. “And it just cannot happen again. It’s simply too dangerous.”

  “Believe me, sir, I do,” Kim replied.

  “I’m just grateful and relieved that this matter has been resolved,” he said after the hearing. “It’s been a pretty difficult time for my family and me. But I’m glad I had a chance to take responsibility for my mistake.”

  Kim was the third “Lost” actor to have been arrested for driving while intoxicated in Hawaii; the other two had their characters killed off on the show soon afterward. The roles of Michelle Rodriguez and Cynthia Watros were eliminated in 2005 after they pleaded guilty to drunken driving. Whether Kim’s character on the popular castaway drama takes some kind of a hit remains to be seen, but it’s doubtful.

  Mischa Barton admits she went to rehab after DUI

  Posted: September 9th, 2008, 9:59am CDT by Celebitchy

  Tags:  DUI  

  
  Mischa Barton has been photographed out drunk, or at least visibly tipsy, a few times in the past few months. She hasn’t been busted for another DUI since her first arrest after Christmas, though, so at least she’s staying off the road. She isn’t staying sober, but I guess that’s her business. It’s legal and she’s not hurting anyone.

  Barton recently admitted that she went to rehab after her DUI arrest and pretty much states that she didn’t do it to get sober - she did it to satisfy the judge and get off with a lighter sentence. Maybe I’m reading too much into what she said, but that’s what it sounds like to me:

  And now Barton has revealed she punished herself over the lapse in judgment by locking herself up at an unnamed rehab clinic in a bid to prove to herself and the authorities she was not a drunk.

  She tells Marie Claire’s UK edition, “I wanted to prove to the court that I would take it completely seriously, so I went to rehab to prove I was sober.”

  “It really helped in getting the more serious aspects of my case dropped because, you know, that’s what they want to hear; you’re not an alcoholic and you don’t have a problem. So I did it in the most low-key way possible - I didn’t make a fuss about it and I didn’t tell a lot of my friends. I just did the program and got through it.”

  And she’s still angry with herself for driving while over the limit.

  She adds, “The thing is, I hate drunk drivers. Living in L.A., I can’t stand them, and that’s why I was so disappointed in myself. It’s so not worth it when you put other lives at risk.”

  [WENN via 9WSYR]

  She didn’t do it to prove to herself that she could get sober, she did it to prove to the court. The segment of the article that’s published here doesn’t specify whether she went for a full 30 days or if she spent less time in rehab.

  Barton is just 22. She seems to have learned her lesson after driving drunk and sobriety is not for everyone in their early 20s. Still, there have been plenty of stories about her problems with alcohol. She was recently said to have been falling down drunk at a club. Her boyfriend was so embarrassed and lily-livered about it that he just left her there to fend for herself. It sounds like she needs to ditch the boyfriend - and the booze.

  Shia LaBeouf arrested for DUI after accident & taken to hospital (update)

  Posted: July 27th, 2008, 8:26am CDT by Celebitchy

  Tags:  DUI  

  
  22 year-old Indiana Jones actor Shia LaBeouf’s former run-ins with the law were minor incidents which could be chalked up to youthful indiscretions. He was arrested for a drunken stand-down in a Walgreens with a security guard who made fun of him for purchasing Clearasil in November of last year. Shia was staying at a nearby hotel and was not driving at the time. The charges were ultimately dropped. He talked about the incident on David Letterman and he told the story with bravado, once flipping off Letterman when he asked him why he had changed to return to the store.

  Shia was also ticketed for smoking outside in Burbank, California. An arrest warrant was issued in March after he failed to turn up for a hearing to address the charges, but his lawyer showed up the next day to plead guilty for him and Shia got off with a $500 fine.

  In June a video was leaked that showed a drunken Shia telling a fellow party-goer to slap him while he egged him on by calling him a f*ggot. Shia issued a statement that he never should have used the word and apologized for it. He said it was an old video that was not meant to be made public. In my commentary at the time I mentioned that he’s 22 and at that point he had only minor offenses which seem relatively tame.

  There are very few details about Shia’s latest arrest but it sounds like he was driving wasted and could easily have killed someone. TMZ reports that he was arrested for DUI after a drunken car accident. Both Shia and his accident victim were taken to the hospital and there’s no word if anyone was seriously injured:

  TMZ has learned Shia LaBeouf has been arrested for DUI.

  Law enforcement sources tell TMZ LaBeouf was involved in a car accident at about 3:00 AM at the corner of LaBrea and Fountain in Hollywood. Paramedics were called to the scene and both parties were taken to a local hospital.

  LaBeouf was placed under arrest on suspicion of felony DUI after we’re told he exhibited “outward signs” of intoxication at the scene.

  [From TMZ]

  Shia is arrogant and young, but maybe this arrest and accident will be a wake up call for him and he’ll start taking more responsibility for his action. There’s no excuse for driving drunk and with all the resources these young stars have you think they would know better. Of course they’re going to let loose and maybe they’ll smoke in a few places where it’s illegal or act stupid in public. Driving drunk is an entirely different matter, though, and it should never be seen a minor offense or somehow a “right of passage.” Innocent people can so easily be killed.

  We’ll have to see what happened exactly and hopefully all the injuries are minor.

  Update: Shia needs surgery on his hand. All other victim injuries are minor
  TMZ has more details, and Shia has injured his hand and needs surgery. He had a passenger in his car who has a minor head injury and the driver of the other vehicle also sustained minor injuries. The police are still determining the level of the charges:

  Law enforcement sources tell us Shia LaBeouf badly injured his hand and will need surgery.

  As we first reported, LaBeouf was arrested this morning on suspicion of felony DUI after he allegedly made an illegal left, striking another car which then caused Shia’s car to roll.

  We’re told Shia will need surgery on his left hand. A passenger in Shia’s car sustained minor head injuries and the driver of the other car sustained minor injuries as well.

  Deputies are evaluating the case at the hospital right now to determine if LaBeouf will be booked on felony or misdemeanor DUI.

  We’re told Shia will be in the hospital “for a while.” We could not get more specifics.

  Khloe Kardashian spends 173 minutes in jail

  Posted: July 19th, 2008, 2:21pm CDT by JayBird

  Tags:  DUI  

  

  Khloe Kardashian. Just the name makes me want to sucker punch someone in the face. Yeah, I’m that kind of girl. Or at least I’m in that kind of mood. I understand that Kim, Kourtney, and Khloe’s mom Kim likes Ks. Great. Awesome for you. But she managed to give Kim a normal K name, instead of finding some dumbass way to spell an otherwise good C name. Is it any wonder Kim is the only “successful” Kardashian daughter? Khloe’s racking in the DUI’s, Kourtney is… well I don’t know what the hell she’s doing, but that’s my point. I blame this whole debacle on their mom.

  Because her name sucks, Khloe sucks, so Khloe got a DUI. She was ordered to serve 30 days in jail [People originally erroneously reported that it was 3 days – which we repeated here], which of course in Los Angeles translates to several minutes. Khloe was in and out in under three hours – not exactly record time, but you could see how they wouldn’t be as worried about her as they were with someone like Nicole Richie or Lindsay Lohan.

  With the jails too full of more serious offenders to find room for her, Khloe Kardashian served less than three hours of her 30-day sentence on Friday in a DUI case. Kardashian, 24, who appears on E!’s Keeping Up With the Kardashians, was processed into the Lynwood, Calif., jail for women at 10:36 a.m. and released at 1:29 p.m., according to the Los Angeles Sheriff’s Department.

  The department, which runs the city’s jails, has an early-release policy for nonviolent offenders due to overcrowding. Kim Kardashian’s younger sister was sent there after she surrendered to the Van Nuys courthouse and was booked at 8:52 a.m. The Lynwood jail is the same facility that housed Paris Hilton for most of her term in an alcohol-related driving case.

  Kardashian served her brief time for violating probation following a DUI arrest. Kardashian was arrested for DUI in March 2007, and was sentenced to three years probation. On July 3, she was sentenced to 30 days in jail after failing to complete roadside cleanup duty and enroll in an alcohol education class.

  [From People]

  I understand that DUIs are generally considered nonviolent crimes. I can see why women sentenced for them don’t put in as much time as murderers. But I think it sends a really bad message. Khloe Kardashian knew that she could do something she didn’t want to do – roadside cleanup duty – or she could go to jail for three hours. It makes sense she chose jail instead of doing her time properly.

  Starlets know they won’t have to pay any real consequences. Part of her sentence was to do something she didn’t like – and do it for a while. Probably in the sun. Photographers would probably show up. It would be embarrassing. Why should someone as grand as Khloe Kardashian stoop to that level? Going to jail was much easier and more dignified for her. Of course we’d be talking about a whole different story if she knew she had to serve 30 entire days. Then we’d have some great pics of Khloe dragging a bag around a freeway.

  Considering her choices, I no longer feel badly calling Khloe the behemoth monstrosity that she is.

  Here’s Khloe outside the Villa Lounge in Los Angeles on Tuesday. Images thanks to WENN.

  Khloe Kardashian goes to jail for a likely short stay

  Posted: July 18th, 2008, 12:59pm CDT by Hot Momma

  Tags:  Celebrity DUI  

  Khloe Kardashian, turned herself into police this morning to begin serving her supposed 30 day sentence for violating her probation. Khloe who is 24-year-old was arrested last March for DUI. She was given probation and was told to complete an alcohol education program and community service. She did none of that, so a judge ordered the she-hulk to 30 days in the clink.

  Khloe was surrounded by her family and cameras as she arrived at the Van Nuys court house this morning. TMZ reports that Kim and company dropped Khloe off for her little stint at Lynwood and then went to eat. They know she won’t be in for long. She will probably be out before I hit the publish button on this post, quite frankly because of overcrowding problems which significantly reduce sentences. It’s too bad because with her size and personality, Chyna’s long-lost daughter would probably be calling the shots in no time at all. That’s Khloe with sister Kim and Adrienne Ballon at some celebrity bowl night for charity a couple of days ago.

  Update:  Well Khloe is already out of jail.  She served 173 minutes time. How’s that compare to other recent celeb inmates? Nicole did 82 minutes, Lindsay did 84. But of course the one least suited for jail time, Paris Hilton wasn’t so fortunate though!

  Mischa Barton regrets DUI because it associates her with Paris, Lindsay and Nicole

  Posted: July 18th, 2008, 7:12am CDT by Celebitchy

  Tags:  DUI  

  
  Mischa Barton is featured wearing an open sleeveless denim vest and a goofy felt hat on the upcoming cover of Nylon Magazine. In the accompanying interview she talks candidly about the DUI she received on the day after Christmas last year. She was driving without a license and cops found pot in her car at the time. In April she plead guilty to the DUI charge and the marijuana charges were dropped. In exchange she’s on three years probation and has to attend an alcohol education class.

  Mischa told Nylon that her DUI was a “low point” and she doesn’t say she felt bad about it because she could have killed someone or that she really shouldn’t have been driving in that state or even without a license. She said she’s disappointed because it puts her in the same DUI club as Paris, Nicole and Lindsay:

  “That was a low point for me. I never, ever would have thought I would be arrested,” she says in the August issue of Nylon of the December incident. “I was disappointed because it associated me with a group of girls that I would rather not be associated with.”

  Now living in Paris, the former O.C. star pleaded no contest to drunken driving in April and was sentenced to three years probation.

  Still, the repentant 22-year-old doesn’t plan on taking up the quiet, studious life of others her own age.

  “I would want to go to college for the learning, but there’s so much else that comes with that that I don’t think I need anymore,” she says. “I’ve been making my own money and living as an adult for far too long.”

  [From People.com]

  Maybe People left out the part of the interview where Barton expressed regret for her DUI for more pertinent reasons other than the fact that it lumped her in with other irresponsible drunken starlets. She did say in interviews after her DUI hat she accepts responsibility for her actions and that she was really disappointed in herself. She told Ryan Seacrest “I don’t know what to say about it, except that I’m not perfect and I just don’t ever intend to do something this stupid again.” That statement in itself separates her from Lindsay and Paris, but maybe not Nicole because I think Nicole was pretty repentant after her DUI.

  Barton used to be good friends with Paris Hilton, but was involved in a war of the words with her last year. Barton called Paris a “silly bitch” and said she steals people’s boyfriends while Paris acted like she didn’t know Mischa and said “she is the one who is trying to stir up a rivalry.”

  Barton also used to spend time with Nicole Richie and I thought they were still friends. The last time I remember seeing them photographed together though was in May of last year when Richie was just starting to look pregnant. The two threw a memorial day party at Richie’s house and Mischa ended up in the hospital after she had a reaction from drinking while on antibiotics for bronchitis. Barton also got into a fender bender with Richie’s car in February of last year. Maybe these two haven’t really hung out since, or it’s possible Mischa is forgetting that Richie is among the girls she doesn’t want to be associated with.

  As for Lindsay Lohan, Barton was seen out with her and Samantha Ronson in April of this year.

  Maybe Barton doesn’t want to be associated with that “group of girls” who also have DUIs on their record, but it sure doesn’t seem like it considering how much she’s hung out with them in the past. It’s possible she’s just pissed off because their friendships didn’t work out.

  It’s got to suck being the sister of Kim Kardashian. You can argue all day about whether her assets are real, but she’s definitely beautiful, at least in a Hollywood sort of way. And depending on your views, her sister Kourtney is even hotter. And then there is Khloe. It’s hard to say if she’s actually unattractive, or just seems that way compared to her more genetically blessed older sisters.

  Last fall Khloe got a DUI – which was dramatically reenacted on the family’s reality show Keeping Up With the Kardashians, and framed in a way to make it look like it all happened because Khloe, 24, was having trouble dealing with the anniversary of her father’s death. Now Khloe has to report to jail by this Friday – where she must put in an astounding three days time.

  

  Khloe Kardashian, the youngest of the Kardashian sisters, has been sentenced to three days in Los Angeles County jail for violating probation following a DUI arrest.

  “She admitted to failing to complete [roadside cleanup duty] and enroll in an alcohol education class,” said L.A. City Attorney spokesman Frank Mateljan on Monday. “Khloe is ready and willing to serve out her sentence, no matter how long and where, and have this resolved,” her rep tells PEOPLE.

  Over the weekend, Kardashian showed no obvious signs of worry about her upcoming jail term, as she attended a party at the Project Beach House in Malibu with her mother and sister Kourtney. “Khloe actually looked great, really relaxed and having a good time,” says a partygoer at Sunday’s Lia Sophia Clambake. “[She] didn’t look like she had a care in the world and even got a massage.”

  It’s shit like that – massages, not having a “care in the world” – that makes people hate celebrities. Though using that word to describe Khloe Kardashian isn’t exactly accurate. The “partygoer” says it as though it’s a GOOD thing. Thank God Khloe isn’t being burdened with stress or guilt or any feeling of responsibility for getting a DUI! That would be the real crime.

  Something tells me Khloe will do just fine in jail. She has one of those faces that says she could beat the shit out of someone if she had to.

  Here’s Khloe Kardashian arriving at Platinum Motors in West Hollywood with her brother and his girlfriend to pick up her customized Range Rover on June 30th. Because that’s what someone with a DUI needs. A new car. Header of Khloe celebrating her birthday at Pure nightclub in Vegas on June 27th.

  Khloe Kardashian report to jail please!

  Khloe Kardashian will reportly go directly to jail this coming Friday.
  According to Hollyscoop’s sources, “the judge is trying to make an example out of her.”

  Khloe was originally sentenced to 30 days for her DUI arrest last year, but will mostly likely serve a few hours.

  Probably won’t even need a toothbrush.

  Hard to say if it’s the privileges of being a celebrity or it’s the overcrowded jails in LA?

  Khloe is the tall sister of Kim Kardashian. They are stars of their reality tv show “Keeping up with the Kardashians”.

  Nicole Richie says being a mom made her realize that DUI is wrong

  Posted: July 3rd, 2008, 8:18am CDT by Celebitchy

  Tags:  DUI  

  
  You’ll forgive me for that obnoxiously worded title, said with wide eyes while clutching hands together in a mock bid for forgiveness. Nicole Richie has spoken about her DUI conviction stemming from a December, 2006 incident in which she was pulled over driving the wrong way on the freeway. Richie admitted to cops that she had done pot and vicodin that day, later claiming that she took the prescription painkiller for period cramps. That was actually her second DUI in less than five years, and she copped a plea and was sentenced to four days in jail. Richie was pregnant at the time she showed up to do her sentence and was let out of the Century Regional Detention Center after 82 minutes. This is the same facility where Paris Hilton served a full 22 days in jail for driving repeatedly on a suspended license after her DUI.

  Now that Richie is a mom and has admirably turned her life around she says she realizes the error of her ways and won’t do it again. She also wants to be a better person and a better role model for her daughter Harlow, who is nearly six months old.

  She explains, “We were watching the news once and they happened to be talking about drunk drivers. They started flashing up pictures of little children that had been killed by people driving under the influence.

  “At that moment I literally felt like the worst person in the world for even trying to get out of that situation. That was our first real parent moment.”

  She added, “There’s absolutely no way I will do anything like that again. I never took life seriously before. I’m in a completely different place now. I owe my baby my life. I have a responsibility now. I have to really be someone I want my child to look up to. I think it’s important for every child to look up to their parent. I want to show her the right path.”

  I can make fun of Richie’s revelation all I want, but she does deserve a lot of credit for changing her ways and being a devoted mom. She’s spotted out at events still, but that’s part of her job as a rich person known for showing up for stuff, and she does it well. She’s the one who saved her life, though, not her baby. There are plenty of women who have babies and don’t change at all.

  Lane Garrison of Prison Break got into an accident while driving wasted on a vodka run. He ended up killing a 17 year-old male passenger who he had just met that night. He is serving 40 months in state prison and his actions will haunt him for the rest of his life.

  If only all the other young celebrities could get the message that driving drunk is deadly. You don’t need an adorable baby to realize that you shouldn’t get behind the wheel wasted. Just look at your family and loved ones and think how much it would hurt if you lost them to a drunk driver.

  I wonder who the next DUI celebrity will be. Hopefully the only damage they’ll do will be to their career.

  This news is a little old, the quote came out earlier in the week, but I’m just hearing it now.

  Nicole Richie is shown at the Cartier Love Bracelet Launch on 6/18/08, thanks to Adriana M. Barraza for WENN.

  Steve-O pleads guilty to drug charges and perhaps avoids jail time

  Posted: June 3rd, 2008, 6:09pm CDT by Hot Momma

  Tags:  DUI  

  Steve-O (real name Stephen Glover, 33,) has just plead guilty to felony cocaine possession Tuesday in a Los Angeles courthouse. He had originally pleaded not guilty. If you recall, Steve-O was arrested in March was busting holes in his apartment walls when one of his neighbors called the cops and then made a citizen’s arrest. The neighbor held the MTV series star” Jackass” star down until the police could haul him away.  the Jackass star was taken to the emergency room on Sunday afternoon at L.A.’s Cedars-Sinai Medical. After drug tests, he was checked into the Thalians Mental Health Center known for doing crisis intervention where he was put on hold.  The reality TV star is said to also suffer from bipolar disorder.

  As part of his sentence today, the Jackass star has 48 hours to enroll in an 18 month “deferred judgment” program, which begins with drug counseling and ends with probation..  But on a good note, that means no jail time for him if he completes the program.

  His attorney, Barry Gerald Sands, said “Steve is doing great - he has been sober for 85 days. His probation is set for 18 months, but it may be shorter depending on his good behavior and continuation with the program he is in.”
  
  Sands also mentioned that Steve-O: “He is already in a program as we speak.”

  Jail time for Scott Weiland!

  TMZ reports, former Velvet Revolver singer, Scott Weiland, has just been sentenced to jail stemming from a DUI arrest in November 2007.

  Weiland was charged with one misdemeanor count of driving under the influence of alcohol with a prior conviction. When he failed field sobriety tests, Weiland (an experienced pro in such situations) refused to take a blood or urine test. He was booked last November and released on  $40K bail.

  Weiland must now serve 192 hours (8 days) in county jail.  He will have until Wednesday, May 28th to start serving the sentence.

  Weiland must also complete an 18-month alcohol rehabilitation program, remain on a 4 year summary probation, and pay around $2,000 in fines.  He won’t have a job to go back to either.

  The founding members of Velvet Revolver, guitarists Slash and Dave Kushner, bassist Duff McKagan and drummer Matt Sorum, officially dumped lead singer Weiland on April 1st. Velvet Revolver announced their decision to fire Weiland in a press release issued just as the band were playing the last notes of their final performance with the Stone Temple Pilots frontman in Amsterdam. Slash cited Weiland’s lack of commitment, “increasingly erratic onstage behavior and personal problems” as reasons for the dismissal.
