Warning: A Broken Heart May Lead To Drink Driving Charges
Posted by Jess McGuire at 9:04 AM on May 14, 2008
It's wonderful when close friends of celebs care enough to contact gossip columns and give them the lowdown on exactly what was on a troubled star's mind when said star happened to plonk their metaphorical expensive footwear into a metaphorical steaming pile of legal poo.
That's exactly what the Herald Sun's Confidential column is reporting, with Alex Dimitriades' chums spilling their guts about the reason behind the Underbelly actor's recent brush with the law. It was a broken heart, Your Honour/court of public opinion!
Friends of Alex Dimitriades have blamed lovesickness and the success of Underbelly for his drink-driving arrest, while his co-star has gotten a new gig.
While the popular actor has long been a regular on the social circuit, news of Dimitriades booze bus brush surprised industry sources yesterday, who claimed the star was usually well-behaved and not an excessive drinker.
But he is believed to have been partying hard with the ladies after breaking up with his fashionista girlfriend of more than a year Shauna Mac last month, reports Angela Saurine.
"Thanks to the success of Underbelly he's definitely been out and about and having a good time lately," one source said. "I know he had a very large night at the Logies - there are a few rumours going around about that."
Well, I doubt he'd be the only one who did that - can I get a hell yeah, Matt Lee/John Foreman?
... a grumpy Dimitriades, who allegedly returned an alcohol reading of 0.11 when stopped along Oxford St, Paddington at about 3.35am Saturday, refused to comment yesterday, as did his agency Shanahan Management.
"We are not in a position to comment as it is in the hands of Alex's lawyers and now a matter for the courts," a Shanahan's spokeswoman said.
We shall have to wait and see whether the courts believe a bad case of the heartsooks is enough to explain away his alcohol reading, or at the very least whether it inspires some mercy/a Hallmark card from The Law.
