Celebrity Arrests

Edward Furlong arrested

The kid from Terminator 2 (and the upcoming The Green Hornet) got his ass thrown in jail this morning for violating a restraining order. From TMZ:

[Edward] Furlong's estranged wife, Rachael Kneeland, got a restraining order against Furlong, which he violated.  The L.A. City Attorney filed criminal charges and in November Furlong pled no contest to the violation.  He was placed on probation.

Furlong was in court today for a progress hearing.  During the hearing, the City Attorney told the judge Furlong had violated the restraining order last month by coming within 50 yards of Kneeland.  The restraining order requires him to stay 100 yards from her.

The judge ruled Furlong had violated his probation and the actor was cuffed and taken into custody.

In Ed's defense, you can't expose yourself to someone if you're not within at least 20 yards of them. Everyone knows that. Especially the girls at the high school where I used to teach. Fucking snitches.

Jaime Pressly arrested for DUI

Jaime Pressly was arrested for DUI last night in Santa Monica after being pulled over for a minor traffic violation. She was taken to the Santa Monica jail and held on $15,000 bail (which means her BAC was higher than .15). Dammit, I would have loved to be the cop that pulled her over. "Say Aflac. C'mon Jaime, just say it once. Aflac. If you say it, I promise I'll let you go. Aflac. Just one time!"

T.I. and his wife Tameka Cottle arrested

T.I. and his wife Tameka Cottle (the woman who looks like Mariah Carey above . . . if Mariah Carey's mom huffed lead-based paint while she was pregnant) were arrested last night after making an illegal U-turn on Sunset Blvd. Wow, talk about a bunch of hard-ass cops. An illegal U-turn? It's because he's black, isn't he? Oh no wait, they had drugs on them too. From TMZ:

...cops pulled over T.I.'s ultra-expensive Maybach on Sunset Blvd around 10:18 PM for a traffic violation and then smelled marijuana. During a subsequent search of the vehicle, cops say they found a controlled substance -- we're told it was not cocaine. The class of the controlled substance that was found includes methamphetamines and ecstasy.

Both were booked on felony possession of a controlled substance. They were released on $10,000 bail.

....We're now told that the substance was allegedly ecstasy.  And, our law enforcement sources call it a "small amount."

Since T.I. is still on probation from his conviction and incarceration last year on federal weapons charges, there's a pretty good chance he'll be going back to jail for this. With his smooth complexion, muscular body, and tiny, female-like stature, I have a feeling the other prisoners who haven't been with a woman in years won't even know he's there.

Paris Hilton and her boyfriend Cy Waits in Beverly Hills on Thursday

Paris Hilton and her boyfriend Cy Waits were both arrested late Friday night in Las Vegas -- Cy on suspicion of DUI and Paris on felony cocaine possession. The poor little butterfly. I the mean police didn't scare her too badly. From :

Police Officer Marcus Martin  said the motorcycle officer pulled the Escalade over on Las Vegas Boulevard after noticing smoke that smelled like marijuana. Police later found a substance in Hilton's purse that tests showed to be cocaine, Martin said. He didn't say how much of the drug was found.

Both were booked into the Clark County jail, where Martin said Hilton was released without bail about 2:45 a.m. Saturday.

TMZ adds:

Sources who have spoken with Paris since her arrest on the Vegas strip late last night tell TMZ ... she insists the purse -- with what we're told contained a small amount of cocaine -- was not hers.

As we first reported, she's hired powerful Vegas lawyer David Chesnoff to handle the case ... and he already got her sprung without posting bail.

There's a lesson to be learned here for Paris: she needs a better support network. She needs friends who are less interested in partying and more interested in keeping her steered down the right path in life. And she needs these friends around her at all times. Because if she gets pulled over again with cocaine in her purse, she can just say it was theirs.

Paris Hilton and her friend Dejdia at the World Cup in South Africa (7/2)

Bringing an illegal narcotic into a Third World country with crazy laws and an unfamiliar justice system? Gee, what could possibly go wrong? From TMZ:

TMZ has learned Paris Hilton was detained by cops in South Africa ... because they suspect someone in her entourage was smoking marijuana. We're told Paris is still being detained.  Cops confronted her and her peeps at the Nelson Mandela Bay Stadium. Someone close to the situation tells TMZ ... Paris wasn't smoking dope.  But an officer has reportedly said Paris was caught red-handed with weed.

Considering that Paris just tweeted "South Africa is such a beautiful place. Loves it!" and I can almost guarantee you South African jails don't have wireless internet, this is a non-story. Dammit. You almost got to sit at the cool table with America, South Africa. We sent that bitch to jail for a month because she was driving without a license. We don't fuck around.

UPDATE: AP is confirming this story and saying that Paris already appeared in court:

Paris Hilton was detained in the South African city of Port Elizabeth on Friday for possession of marijuana, two South African police officers said. A spokeswoman for police at Port Elizabeth, Brig. Marinda Mills, declined to confirm the name, but said a high profile person was appearing in court on drug-related charges.

"This person is appearing in court right now. We cannot reveal information about her until she has appeared in court. I am here with the individual in court, we're waiting for the court to start," Mills told the Associated Press.

A local radio station in Johannesburg said Hilton was detained outside the Nelson Mandela Bay stadium, following the quarterfinal match between Brazil and Netherlands.

Um, I don't know much about sub-Saharan Africa, but don't they throw rocks at you if you break the law? It would be pretty ironic if Paris got stoned to death for getting caught with weed.

UPDATIER: Aw dammit again. From TMZ:

Paris Hilton is off the hook for the whole pot thing in South Africa. We're told Paris has been released and cops even apologized for misidentifying her. The rep claims the culprit has already pled guilty, paid a small fine and was released.

Despite being cleared, Paris has actually requested to come back into the police station tomorrow morning for another full cavity search.

Vince Neil arrest for DUI

Vince Neil got wasted at his Tres Rios Cantina in Las Vegas last night. But seriously man, it's cool, he's totally OK to drive. From TMZ:

TMZ has learned Mötley Crüe frontman Vince Neil  was arrested for suspicion of DUI this morning in Las Vegas. He is currently in custody in Clark County Jail, where his bail has been set at $2,000.

Wait a minute, I thought that was legal in Vegas? This doesn't make sense. If you're not allowed to drive after drinking half-a-bottle of tequila, how are you supposed to get rid of the hooker's body? That shallow grave out in the desert is not digging itself. And it's not like you can just call a cab. With the way fares have been rising lately, it's practically highway robbery.

Chris Klein busted for DUI

Chris Klein -- most famous for being the guy who dated Katie Holmes when she was still hot and able to make decisions for herself -- was busted for DUI this morning after he was seen swerving on the 101 freeway in L.A. In Chris' defense, the 101 is a very tricky freeway to drive when your blood alcohol level is .20 -- THREE TIMES the legal limit. From TMZ:

Chris Klein could be headed to the slammer in the wake of this morning's DUI arrest -- all because the "American Pie" star has a history of driving drunk. Klein was arrested and convicted of DUI back in 2004 -- and because of that prior arrest, California law requires that he serve a minimum 4 days in jail if he's convicted of DUI again.

But that's not all -- there's a new law going into effect in July -- which would apply to Klein if he's found guilty after that date  -- that requires multiple DUI offenders to have an "ignition interlock system" installed in their vehicle if they wish to drive. The system is essentially a breathalyzer test that's synced up to the car -- and if he ain't sober, the car won't start.

TMZ has also learned Klein wasn't alone when he was popped early this morning -- there was a dog in his car that a friend retrieved after he was busted.

I'm sure there's a perfectly good explanation for this. Chris was probably looking to get arrested so he could generate some publicity for the blockbuster he has coming out this summe -- LOL! -- I almost got that out without laughing. The only way this dude is getting near a huge film is if gets hired to clean the set.

Chace Crawford arrested for marijuana possession

The streets of Texas are once again safe this afternoon after that menace Chace Crawford and his one unlit joint were finally captured after an intense four-county manhunt. From TMZ:

Chace Crawford from "Gossip Girl" was arrested in Plano, Texas for possession of marijuana ... cops confirm to TMZ. We're told Crawford has bonded out of jail.

Crawford was arrested just after midnight this morning for possession of marijuana under 2 ounces.  The charge is a misdemeanor. Crawford was busted in the parking lot of Ringo's Pub.

Sources say Crawford was in a car with a friend when he was busted and cops found one unlit joint.

Jesus Christ, one joint? That's it? He would have been given the key to the city if he was pulled over on Santa Monica Boulevard. Dumb celebrities better hope Hollywood doesn't move to Texas or they're all fucked. Lindsay Lohan might literally be sentenced to death as soon as she steps foot off the plane.

Tito Ortiz is under arrest

Looks like we can add "blood" and "tears" to the list of things former porn-star Jenna Jameson has had smeared all over her face. Her boyfriend, UFC star Tito Ortiz, was arrested today at the couple's home in Huntington Beach after hitting her. From TMZ:

Jenna Jameson just told our photog she plans on pressing charges against Tito Ortiz. Fighting back tears, a clearly emotional Jenna was driving away from her home in Huntington Beach, CA moments ago -- when she stopped and told our photog, "I'm gonna be alright."

Jenna -- who was wearing giant sunglasses -- continued, "My babies are alright ... everything's OK .. he's in jail."

Jenna was accompanied by her father -- the man who we've learned made the initial call to 911.

In Tito's defense, Jenna loves to be handcuffed, ballgagged, choked, spanked in the ass, slapped in the face, whipped, spit on, and fisted -- all while being called a whore. So how was he supposed to know she didn't also like being punched in the face? Seems like an honest mistake to me. If Jenna didn't want these types of accidents happening to her, she should have picked a different line of work. Accounting, for example.

Heather Locklear arrested for hit and run

Heather Locklear was arrested for hit and run last Saturday after hitting a jogger and then racing from the scene! I'm totally kidding. She hit a "no parking" sign. From TMZ:

Law enforcement sources tell TMZ at around 4 AM, someone heard a crash near North Ranch Country Club in Westlake Village, CA. The person who heard the crash didn't call the Ventura County Sheriff's Department until 7:48 PM that night. Deputies went out to the area and found a knocked over "no parking" sign and obvious signs of a car that went up the curb, striking the sign.  

Deputies confirmed through investigation that the car in question was Locklear's black BMW. The collision was very close to Locklear's home. Deputies then went to Locklear's home, saw damage to the BMW that was consistent with the collision, and arrested her for hit-and-run.

The offense is a misdemeanor, so Locklear was not taken into custody -- just cited and released. An official from the Ventura County Sheriff's Department tells TMZ a hit-and-run citation constitutes an "arrest."

In Heather's defense, the last time she got drunk and drove up on that curb, the sign wasn't there. I mean, I think it goes without saying that you're not supposed to park on a curb. We don't need a sign to remind us. I don't know, something just smells fishy about all this, almost like the sign was placed on that curb for her to hit. Hmmmmmm. Rest assured, like Heather and a 1.75 liter bottle of Grey Goose, I will get to the bottom of this.
