And Special Guest Star Heather Locklear as Inmate #372CZF

6:25AM Kyle Buchanan | Perhaps bereft that her former lover David Spade has found fatherhood in the fulsome embrace of a Playboy Bunny, actress Heather Locklear was arrested Saturday afternoon in Santa Barbara on suspicion of DUI. Booked in a local jail and released hours later, the Melrose Place alum was also fingered for being under the influence of a controlled substance (Janet Charlton is claiming that the actress is in the grips of a 20-year Vicodin addiction). While we’re certainly concerned about Locklear’s health, we have to admit we’re most curious about the dastardly pair of eyewear that apparently set the entire incident into motion: More »

Anne Hathaway’s Shady Boyfriend Tossed Into The Pokey For Bouncing Checks … Big Ones!

8:25AM Molly Friedman | Making good girl Anne Hathaway look bad is no easy feat, but her longtime boyfriend has managed to pull it off by allegedly committing check fraud. Raffaelo Follieri, Hathaway’s 29-year old Italian real estate developer boyfriend, was apparently ordered by a D.C. court to pay up $US250k in overdue payments to a PR firm, but the check bounced and the NYPD has placed him in custody. Worse yet, sources tell TMZ that when “the bank said insufficient funds, it wasn’t even close”. Considering we’re still worried about paying next month’s rent, we’d never deem having less than a quarter mill in the bank embarrassing, but taking Follieri’s fancy name and job tile into account, we’re thinking it’s time Anne found some new arm candy. Especially since this isn’t the guy’s first run-in with the law… More »

Naomi Campbell Strikes Again, This Time Directing Her Much-Used Claws Towards A Police Officer

5:50AM Molly Friedman | We’d like to have a word with Naomi Campbell’s anger management instructor, because apparently those classes she was forced to take after that infamous cell phone toss last year didn’t do much good at all. According to People, Campbell was arrested earlier today for assaulting a police officer at London’s Heathrow Airport, and while it’s cute that they reference the fact that “travellers’ frustrations have flared due to baggage delays” since the new Terminal 5 was constructed, we can’t help but feel as though Campbell is officially out of excuses for attacking the innocent. Though throwing her mobile phone at an assistant last year was certainly a step down on the crazy level from her 2000 incident attacking a PA on set, moving up to police assault moves Campbell out of the sanitation club with fellow alumnus Boy George, and into handcuffs territory. But what happened to the sweet, good-natured Naomi we witnessed on Bravo’s guilty pleasure Make Me A Supermodel a few episodes ago? More »
