So weird. I was just watching "School of Rock" yesterday and then today I found out that the kid that played Zach was busted for underage DUI last month. What the hell? Those kids aren't supposed to age, let alone grow up to be dumbasses!
17-year old, Joey Gaydos Jr. released an apology to TMZ.com:
"Some of you may have seen video footage of me on shows like TMZ, or your local news regarding an unfortunate incident I had a few weeks ago.
The first thing I would like to say is, I made a HUGE mistake, and I really regret my actions. What I did was wrong, and all I can say is, I'm sorry to anyone I may have let down, I'm only human, and we ALL make mistakes.
To everyone who has supported me through this I would like to say, THANK YOU, it really means a lot."
Sounds like he's not letting the man get him down.
Apparently, being the voice of the generation, does not mean that you are exempt from getting arrested.
Kanye West was leaving a nightclub in the U.K. early this morning when he saw a paparazzo taking his picture. This prompted him to push the camera into the photographer's face while shouting, “Get the fucking camera off him!” Kanye was arrested three hours laster at his hotel. He was then released and has not been charged.
'80's pop star El DeBarge, real name Patrick Eldra DeBarge, was arrested and locked up for possession of a controlled substance. He was picked up on two warrants earlier this month.
We take you now live to his court appearance:
Controlled substance my ass!! Johnny Five is alive!
Christian Bale was arrested in London today for alleged assault on his mother and sister!
Apparently, Christian "lashed out" at his mother Jenny, 61, and sister Sharon, 40 on Sunday at London's Dorchester hotel. They were staying there for the UK premiere of The Dark Knight.
Christian has not been charged with anything yet but in England it is policy to arrest a suspect before questioning them! Guilty until proven innocent!
Attorneys for Christian released the following statement:
"Christian Bale attended a London police station today, on a voluntary basis, in order to assist with an allegation that had been made against him to the police by his mother and sister," the star's lawyers said in the statement. "Mr. Bale who denies the allegation, co-operated throughout, gave his account in full of the events in question, and has left the station without any charge being made against him by the police. At this time, there will be no further comment by Mr. Bale."
Poison drummer Rikki Rockett has been cleared of the rape charges that were filed against him earlier this year. Turns out, he wasn't even in Mississippi when the incident was claimed to have taken place!
The person who was in Mississippi was an impostor named John Minskoff whose last name is close to Rikki's real name: John Minskosf. Ok, I'm confused too. Anyway John used Rikki's name (Rockett, I think) to convince the complaining witness to sleep with him. Or something.
Rikki released the following comment on his MySpace page: "I think it was a case where the woman and her husband unfortunately believed they could extort money from me and my band. This is a gross example of people attempting to abuse the law for personal profit. They tried to subvert and make a mockery of the criminal justice system. It is abhorrent and disgraceful. It's nice to feel like I can have my life back now. I have a Poison tour to look forward to as well as a wedding to prepare for."
Rikki then went on to rant about the press coverage he received after he was arrested: "I remain surprised that no member of the educated and savvy press ever googled the name 'John Minskoff'! Had they done so, they would have found out that in 1996, John Minskoff claimed to have been involved with the rock band, White Snake, when he lured and kidnapped a 15-year-old girl in Reno, Nevada. Minskoff is a violent career criminal and felon and convicted perjurer with multiple convictions who has admitted to impersonating "rock stars" to sexually pursue women." He said later that he looked forward to serving the press with some "healthy lawsuits."
Dennis Rodman's manager confirmed that he entered outpatient rehab this morning in Fort Lauderdale.
But since it's outpatient, he doesn't have to stay there or anything. Hopefully it will be enough to get the judge to go easy on him for (allegedly) beating up his girlfriend last weekend. Good luck Dennis, you piece of shit! SOURCE
All right stop! Collaborate and listen Ice is back, I've been taken to prison Last night, I grabbed my wife tightly Cause she bitched like spazz and pissed me off slightly
Would she ever stop? I didn't know So I turned off the lights and I beat that ho
Cops came to the scene and took me in like a vandal I was under pressure, but that's a whole other scandal
Anne Hathaway's loser boyfriend, Italian property developer Raffaelo Follieri, was arrested yesterday for writing a bad check. For $250,000!
The check was for work that a Washington D.C. public-relations firm did on his behalf. (250 G's? I gotta look into this public-relations thing!)
And guess what? This isn't the first time Raffaelo pulled something like this. Last year a billionaire named Ron Burkle's filed a lawsuit against Follieri for allegedly squandering $1.3 million in business funds to support his extremely lavish lifestyle, which Raffaelo denied.
He seems to have swindled Anne too, she's been with him for four years and credits him with bringing her out of her funk, literally. "He's brought out so many positive attributes," she said. "Before I met him, I wasted so much time. I was just annoying and narcissistic and smelled bad. He's protective without being possessive, passionate without needing to show his temper."
Poison drummer Rikki Rockett was arrested after he got off his flight from New Zealand to LAX on Monday. He had a warrant (no hairband pun intended) out for his arrest. For RAPE!
LAPD booked Rikki on a felony fugitive sexual assault warrant out of Neshoba County, Mississippi. No further information about the warrant and specific charges has been made public.
My first instinct on this was: vengeful groupie. But then I don't know much about Rikki other than he's an animal rights activist and a vegan, he once used permanent marker when he ran out of eyeliner (thanks Behind the Music!), and that his drum solos are a really good time to go to the bathroom or get another beer.
Rikki has a huge "rocket"! About 9 + inches! He's a gentleman. He opens doors, asks if it is o.k. to smoke or use your bathroom, and will go out to eat with you. He'll even give you his real telephone number! Very creative guy and I've never heard of him getting a bad report! Just like Bret, he doesn't like "his girls" to be with other guys while it's ok for him to be with other girls.
I think I'm going to go with my first instinct on this one until more details are released. Not that the Penis Chart is the word of God, but it's pretty close.
Sometimes you tell the day by the bottle that you drink and (recently out of rehab) Richie Sambora was having a Jack Daniels kind of day yesterday when he was arrested for DUI in Laguna Beach, California last night.
Richie was pulled over around 11:00 PM last night after police stopped him for driving erratically and taken in after failing numerous field sobriety tests.
Ok, drunk driving is bad enough right?
But what about drunk driving with your child in the car? Well, that makes you Asshat of the Week.
Yup, TMZ just reported that Ava, Richie's 10 year old daughter with Heather Locklear, was in the car with Richie when he was pulled over. Piece of shit.
Not much of a scandal, just a DUI, and an old one at that.
This year's token "rocker chick," Amanda Overmyer was arrested back in Octobert 2006 and plead guilty to DUI back in October 2006. She received a 60 day suspended sentence and was put on 180 days probation which ended last August.
What's shocking is she's had that same hair style since 2006!
Aww, all the younger siblings of Hollywood asshats are coming of age. First Jamie Lynn gets knocked up, then Paris's little brother got arrested for DUI, now little Aaron Carter has been busted for pot.
The youngest of the Douchebag Carter brothers was pulled over for speeding in Kimble County, Texas early this morning. When the cops searched his car, they found two ounces of marijuana. Aaron was then arrested and is currently being held in jail until tomorrow when he will be arraigned.
Kiefer Sutherland was released from jail today after serving 48 days on a drunken driving charge
Los Angeles Police Officer John Balian said Kiefer was wearing a shirt and jeans when he left at 12:05am and " looked like he was glad to be out." No shit?
Bailan added, "He was very humble, never complained. He didn't give us any problems at all." Kiefer must now serve five years probation. He also has to complete an 18-month alcohol education program and attend weekly therapy sessions for six months.
Kiefer Sutherland surrendered to jail yesterday at 5:46pm to begin serving a 48 day sentence for his DUI conviction. He is expected to serve his entire term.
A spokesman for the jail said, "Mr. Sutherland is very polite and humble. He was very cooperative during the booking process. He will be issued an orange jumpsuit, and will be housed alone in a cell, since he'll be a long-term inmate."
Keifer will be an inmate worker and his duties include doing laundry and serving meals, which is the only contact he'll have with other inmates.
PEOPLE reports that Keifer's cell is 8 by 10 feet and has a toilet, washbasin and water fountain. He will get (and serve) two hot and one cold meal a day, including such delectable choices as corn flakes, turkey sandwiches, meatloaf, mac-n-cheese and chicken a la king. He will be allowed two 15 minute visits a day between 1 p.m. and 4 p.m.
Those inmates are so lucky!! How many people can say Jack Bauer served them corn flakes?
Last week, I posted about how former American Idol contestant Jessica Sierra hasn't been doing so well since the show. She had some trouble with drugs and was arrested for battery. But things were starting to look up. She got a gig (and a chance at recovery) on VH1's Celebrity Rehab and a deal that if she didn't violate parole, that her battery charge would be wiped from her record.
Well, turns out neither of those things worked out so well. Jessica was arrested again on Saturday at a bar and charged with disorderly intoxication and obstructing justice. She is being held in jail after being denied bond.
If that's not enough, now details are coming out surrounding the arrest. TMZ has obtained police reports where Jessica told the arresting officer, "I'll suck your dick if you don't take me to jail."
If that's not enough, she also dropped the N bomb a bunch of times when referring to the cop (I guess he didn't take her up on her offer) and shoved him.
In related news, fellow Idol season 4 contestant Constantine Maroulis, who recently performed at a mall, is said to be relieved that he is no longer considered the most pathetic cast member of that season.
TMZ reports that Shawntae Harris, better known as Da Brat, or maybe as "the other woman besides Liza Minelli whose face was eaten by David Gest", is currently in custody for felony aggravated assault after getting into an altercation with a waitress. According to reports, the waitress bumped into Brat which set off some pushing and shoving. The waitress walked away and then Brat grabbed a bottle and attacked her.
You know Brat, it's mean enough that you called Jane Wiedlin a "has-been" on The Surreal Life, but to attack her at her place of business? That's low.
Until we get the mugshot, here's a lovely photo of Britney taken yesterday
Britney Spears turned herself into police last night to be booked for her parking lot hit-and-run back on August 6th.
TMZ quotes a representative of the LAPD: "at approximately 9:25 PM Miss Britney Spears checked into the Van Nuys County Jail for a court ordered booking. She was put through standard booking procedures which included booking photographs, fingerprinting and collection of information. Britney was at all time cooperative in the process. She was there approximately 45 minutes."
Brit was never put in a holding cell and officers said she was polite. She also chose to go in the front door rather than the back entrance the cops offered her (insert you own joke here). Britney was charged with one count of hit and run causing property damage and one count of driving without a valid California license. Each misdemeanor charge carries a maximum sentence of six months in jail.
After a night of partying at the FOX Eco-Casino party at the Area nightclub, Kiefer Sutherland was stopped by police after making an illegal U-turn in on La Cienga and Beverly in West Hollywood. He was given a Breathalyzer and failed, allegedly blowing more than twice the legal limit of .08.
4:09 A.M.:
Kiefer was booked on DUI at the LA Sheriff's Department.
5:42 A.M.:
Kiefer was released on $25,000 bail.
As of 8:48A.M.: A rep for Sutherland could not immediately be reached for comment.
Besides that sex tape that gave me a permanent scar my brain from watching, we (thankfully) haven't heard much from Fred Durst in the past few years. But now TMZ reports that back in October of last year, Fred was involved in a hit and run with a pedestrian in Hollywood and was charged with assault with a deadly weapon, battery, criminal threats, and reckless driving.
So last month (see when no one cares about you anymore, there's a delay in reporting) went to court and accepted a plea deal. Because he still technically qualifies as a celebrity he won't get any jail time and instead will serve 3 years probation and will have to pay fines. He also must pay a small amount to the victim. How about a 3 Dollar Bill Y'all.? Seriously, I'll bet that's all he has.
