  • Mel Gibsons drink-driving charge wiped from record

    Mel Gibson -scary

    Actor Mel Gibson’s infamous 2006 drink-driving conviction has been officially wiped from his record.

    A Malibu judge signed legal documents today to expunge the arrest, during which Gibson made anti-Semitic and sexist remarks.

    This means that, in the eyes of the courts, the driving under the influence (DUI) incident never happened.

    Gibson asked for the conviction to be wiped, after successfully completing the terms of his three-year probation.

    The Braveheart star was arrested in Malibu, in the early hours of 28 July, 2006, after police clocked him driving at more than 85mph.

    A breath test indicated that the actor’s blood-alcohol level was 0.12 per cent. In California, a driver is considered legally intoxicated at 0.08 per cent.

    Gibson was caught up in further controversy as reports emerged that he had made anti-Semitic and sexist remarks to a female policewoman, calling her “sugar tits”.

    The star later issued two apologies through his publicist.

    He pleaded no contest to misdemeanor DUI and was given three years’ probation, which he has now completed.

    Gibson was not in court for today’s hearing.

  • Blood Red Wino

    blog2-amy-winehouse.jpg

    You would think that things wouldn’t get more weird when it comes to Amy Winehouse but don’t be fooled. Wino got into a bloody fight wither her husband after he found her ‘cutting’ herself. 24 hours later, she claimed that the man she’d just ‘lost it’ on saved her life.

    According to the Daily Mail, the singer who left rehab for the nth time was spotted around London early Thursday morning with cuts and blood on her face, legs and feet. Her hubby Blake had cuts on his face as well.

    Scotland Yard said that no charges would be filed in connection with the incident.

    By Friday, the couple was seen strolling the streets of London. Wino spoke of plans to go on a holiday. It should be good to get away from all the drama for a while.

  • Justin Gets Speared

    Although it’s pretty much established that Britney Spears is sick and crazy, she’s being called those two things by several music industry insiders for a different reason. Britney has reportedly ditched the chance to do a duet single with former boyfriend Justin Timberlake.

    Page Six reported that Justin wrote the song specifically for his former love and that her label was counting on the song to be the launch pad for her comeback. But before she could even fly out to record the song, Britney abruptly canceled the session.

    Jive is still backing Britney up but execs are worried about her bombing.

    Oh come on! Admit it, you’re expecting it.

  • In and Out Wino

    She’s in, she’s out and she’s back in again.

    After a short time outside of rehab as first reported by The Sun, it looks like Amy Winehouse is back in to get some dire help. It seems that Wino was merely tying up some loose ends. Her publicist just released a statement regarding it “Amy Winehouse is putting all her touring commitments for this month on hold until further notice in order to address her health issues. Amy will now not be performing at this weekend’s V Festival in Chelmsford and Staffordshire. Her family has requested that the media respect Amy’s privacy at this time.”

    Try to make her go to rehab she said ‘yes, no, yes’.

  • Jamie Lynn Spears Agrees with Kevin Federline

    jamie-lynn-spears.jpg
    This is a sign. If anyone ever tells you that Kevin Federline would make a better parent to your children than you would, you know you’re a horrible parent. And then when not only your mother but your little sister, who knows nothing about parenting, agrees that your children should e raised by Kevin Federline, thats also a sign that you’re a partying drug-addict. Bull shit, she should keep her mouth shut or else Kevin will have her pregnant with his child. Right Britney made the decision to have kids but none of us know that what kind ordeal it can be taking care of kids, they are cute and adorable but babies need a lot of attention and caring in their first few year which is something that parents have to experience first hand it is not something like a tailor made story line that we’ve read umpteen times and know what’s going to happen next. Jamie just mind your own business and care for your gonna have babies and let the former husband and wife settle their stuff themselves.

  • Vivica’s Sobering Summer

    ffoxvivica-idiot.jpg

    It’s going to be a hot, dry August for Vivica A. Fox. A Los Angeles judge has ordered the actress to abstain from drinking alcohol until she is arraigned on DUI charges on Sept. 5
    Tsk, tsk. At her age she should be setting an example. Not acting like Lindsay, Paris and Nicole. What is it with these celebrities? If you’re drinking, leave the car at home and take a freaking cab. It’s not as if they can’t afford it. Even if they hire a good limo and a big chauffeur driven car it will cost them in the range of under a thousand dollars which they would pay for a designer habd bag or on a flashy fashion accessory anyways so why run the risk of being caught by the police. I think Paris Hilton and others have made it a fashion statement of being caught on DUI and then the next day the media publish your pics and make u a cult figure and many think that this will make them iconic and stuff like that. But they won’t realize that there are losing fame and acceptance amongst a large number so fans. Who cares put yourself in the gutter and stay happy.

  • From Kelly to Britney

    blog5-britney-spears.jpg

    After many many months without any actual guidance to steer her clear of the stupidity, Britney Spears has finally hired a manager. The former pop star had a very public ‘break up’ with her former manager Larry Rudolph. She claimed he forced her into rehab when she felt she didn’t need it. Right.

    Britney’s new manager is Jeff Kwatinez, Kelly Clarkson’s former manager. Jeff already knows not to force anything on to a client because that’s what Kelly fired him for. Which makes me question whether it’s a smart move.

    But Britney is Britney. Let her do the crazy stuff and bring more people into the mud with her.

  • Prison Break Star Under Fire

    garrison.jpg

    It seems like nobody learns anything by other people’s mistakes. Instead they must make them as well. “Prison Break” star Lane Garrison was in court today on manslaughter charges. He killed a 17 year old boy while driving under the influence after leaving a Christmas party last year. The boy, Vahagn Sedian, had been a passenger in Garrison’s vehicle. The father of the victim accused Garrison of acting in court today. He said that Lane’s grief was exaggerated and that he was selfish. Another passenger who had been injured in the accident stated that Garrison lied about who was driving the vehicle that night. Lane faces up to six years and eight months in prison. The sad thing is that this isn’t a story about a young Hollywood diva but rather a grown man. Nobody has an excuse when it comes to drinking and driving. The worst part is that it’s never the drunken idiot who gets killed, it’s always an innocent. I’m sure Garrison will get more than the slap on the hand the girls are getting but nothing can equate their level of stupidity.

  • Richie Gives Official Pregnancy Confirmation

    richiemadden.jpg

    There has been speculation for weeks that Nicole Richie is expecting a baby. Her and her rocker boyfriend Joel Madden recently laid rumours to rest by confirming that she is indeed pregnant. In an interview for Good Morning America to air Thursday the two confirm that the reports are true. She is almost four months pregnant. For weeks she had refused to confirm or deny reports but that’s likely for most women in the first trimester. It was just last week that Nicole plead guilty to DUI and was sentenced to a short prison stay as well as conditions. I can’t imagine what it will be like for a couple like them to have a child. Hopefully Nicole will realize that it involves gaining some weight. She isn’t going to have a successfully healthy pregnancy if she keeps up the bony look. I’m sure Hilary Duff, Madden’s ex, is ecstatic that it isn’t her in Richie’s place. I certainly would be.

  • No glamour for Nicole Richie in jail

    For Nicole Richie, four days in jail will be an intermission in her glamorous lifestyle: No miniskirts, no stiletto heels and no time off for good behavior. House arrest is not an option.

    For her wrong-way freeway trek in a Mercedes-Benz, Richie was slapped Friday with a sentence of nearly four days in jail, a fine of $2,048 and orders to attend drug and alcohol rehab.

    “She’s not gonna be coming in here wearing a miniskirt and pumps,” Burbank police Sgt. Thor Merich said, describing a spartan lifestyle that would await her if she goes to that city’s jail.

    “We pretty much go the bare minimum,” he said.

    Prosecutors said Richie will serve the time in a city jail rather than a county lockup. She has the choice of any local jail in Los Angeles County that will accept her.

    nicole-richie1.jpg

    On Friday, a somber and subdued Richie softly pleaded guilty in Superior Court to a misdemeanor charge of driving under the influence of drugs in a deal with prosecutors that helped her avoid a potential year in jail on her second DUI conviction.

    But Richie, who’s rumored to be pregnant, couldn’t avoid a lecture from Superior Court Commissioner Steven K. Lubell as he gave her 96 hours in jail, then took off six hours for time already served following her December arrest.

    He said she will have to follow the law now or wind up in jail for a year.

    For now, she will serve less than four days. In jail, Richie will be able to wear most of her own clothing but anything that might be used as a weapon will be taken away, including shoelaces, belts, high heels and underwire bras.

    The waiflike reality show star was conservatively dressed Friday in a loose black trapeze style dress which skimmed her body and kept observers guessing about whether she’s pregnant. Her blond hair was pulled back in a knot at her neck just above a scroll tattoo with the name “Richie” and a small red bow.

    She arrived and left court with her boyfriend, Joel Madden, surrounded by a cordon of burly private bodyguards.

    The co-star of TV’s “The Simple Life” and daughter of pop singer Lionel Richie listened attentively as Lubell told her she was lucky that her wrong-way escapade had not killed or maimed someone.

    With the tone of a stern father, he said what she did was “pretty scary,” and could have resulted in the death of her or others.

    “The court does not want anything to happen to you,” he said.

    Richie could face a murder charge if she continues to drive under the influence of drugs or alcohol and someone dies, he said.

    “I hope that never, ever happens,” the commissioner added.

    Richie did not respond to his remarks. It was her second DUI conviction. The first, in June 2003, involved alcohol.

    She must complete her jail time by Sept. 28 and return to court on Feb. 20, 2008 to show she has complied with the rest of the sentence.

    “You are not to drive with any measurable amount of alcohol or drugs in your system,” Lubell told her. “You are not to drive without a driver’s license.”

    He said the state Department of Motor Vehicles would decide whether to suspend her license.

    Richie was arrested on Dec. 11 after witnesses reported seeing her black Mercedes-Benz sport utility vehicle headed the wrong way on a freeway in Burbank. The California Highway Patrol said they found her parked in the car pool lane.

    Richie told authorities she had smoked marijuana and taken the prescription painkiller Vicodin, a CHP officer said at the time. No drugs were found on her or in the car.

    Jane Robison, a spokeswoman for the Los Angeles County district attorney’s office, said house arrest was not an option. She will have to stay for the full sentence, pay for her incarceration and abide by rules that limit visitors and perks.

    While each city may have slightly different rules on handling its inmates, “a jail is a jail,” Robison said.

    That means it’s unlikely that Richie will be allowed to chat on a cell phone, order in gourmet food or schedule behind-bars manicures.

    Just like in the movies, Richie could only see people during visiting hours and would talk to them through a thick sheet of glass, at least at the Burbank jail.

    If Richie does her time in Burbank, she would probably be alone in a 4-by-10-foot cell because of safety concerns over her notoriety and because the jail has only limited facilities for women.

    If it turns out Richie is pregnant, however, the jail would be unable to accommodate her medical needs and she would have to go to county jail probably the same Lynwood lockup where party-girl pal Paris Hilton did part of her time.

    At a city jail, for about $75 a day, Richie would have access to a collect-call phone, sleep on a metal bunk with a 2- or 3-inch-thick mattress and eat three prison meals a day (lunch fare often is a ham-and-cheese sandwich and an apple).

    But if Richie thinks about turning her stay into another episode of “The Simple Life,” she can forget it.
