Hollywood Stars Absolved of Vagina-Kicking, Drugged Driving
3:50AM Kyle Buchanan | Being a celebrity is a double-edged sword: you’re often more likely to find yourself involved in ridiculous, well-publicised crime, but at least it’s easy to get acquitted! More »
A Late-Afternoon LaBeouf-In-Crisis Round-Up
10:30AM Seth | As a world on edge waits to hear whether Mutt Williams will ever wield a whip again (we’re hearing some encouraging news that his pinkie is out of critical care!), we bring you all the latest in the Shia LaBeouf could-have-been-much-worse DUI nightmare: · Sgt. Tressa Gunnels is amazed the injuries weren’t more severe. Also: She’s bad arse. [KCAL] · The rap sheet! [ET] · Shia was at The Troubadour at a Lemon Sun and Rumspringa show before the accident: “[He was] dancing around and acting really crazy…He kept doing shots of whiskey…He stayed until the band was done and then stumbled out of the club by himself.” The female passenger in the overturned car was his Australian Transformers 2 co-star Isabel Lucas, pictured here moments after boyfriend Adrian Grenier’s generous offer to polka-dot the stripes out of her.

False Alarm: Coke, E, Smack and Scrips Found In Gary Dourdan’s Car Belonged To Someone Else
4:50AM Seth | As predicted by a crisis-management think tank at USC’s Annenberg School of Flack Studies in a research paper entitled, So, You’re the Recently Fired Star of a Hit Series Picked Up Unconscious with a Serious Selection of Party Drugs: Now What?, CSI-alumnus Gary Dourdan has announced that the stash of heroine, cocaine, ecstasy, and prescription pills found in his car did not, in fact, belong to him: More »
Fathers For Drunk Driving Founder Richie Sambora Could Be Charged With Child Endangerment
3:50AM Seth | Richie Sambora has long struggled with his addictions—themselves a natural response to the stresses of occupying one point on a messy Hollywood love pentagram whose details we can never quite get straight. (We think he was briefly married to David Spade before a bitter divorce led him directly into the arms of the Just Shoot Me star’s former BFF, Heather Locklear.) But now, the Bon Jovi guitarist is facing far more serious matters, as Orange County officials are reportedly looking to slap the recently DUI’d Sambora with
DUI Arrest Marks Barron Hilton’s Entree Into Celebutard Society: UPDATE
5:01AM Seth | 18-year-old Barron Hilton has yet to really capture the world’s imagination the way his older sisters Paris and Nicky have, his wealthy parents perhaps waiting until he turns 21 before gifting him with his very own orange-faced pet flack to encourage such profile-building. And while some suspected the Hilton family’s dominant Shameless Famewhoring Gene may have skipped him entirely, the young heir may just have that Hilton magic after all, having been picked up this morning in Malibu for a DUI:
Kiefer Sutherland Is Free!
5:31AM Seth | That deafening cheer you heard last night, so loud it blew the Ye Rustic Inn’s front door right off its hinges and into an adjacent stripmall’s parking lot, had nothing to do with Brett Favre’s crushing defeat, but rather a triumph of the highest order involving one of Silver Lake’s favorite sons. For Kiefer Sutherland, you see, had emerged from the Glendale City Jail a free man at precisely 12:05 a.m., having served the entirety of his 48-day sentence, where he passed the long hours “cleaning sheets, pillowcases and blankets on laundry duty.” John Balian, a jail spokesman always forthcoming with kindly soundbites and incremental Kiefer updates, offered that the 24 star was wearing “a shirt and jeans,” and “looked like he was glad to be out.” Why was the beloved Christmas tree assassin forced to serve out his entire sentence, where lesser shock-starlets have been released early for far more serious, traffic-flow-flouting crimes? The AP report explains: More »
5:23AM Defamer Hollywood | An update to the seriously depressing Roger Avary fatal DUI car accident story: Avary’s wife Gretchen is now expected to survive. His publicist released this statement: “Roger wishes to publicly convey his heartfelt condolences to the family of the deceased.

One Dead, One Injured, One Arrested After Roger Avery DUI Accident
3:26AM Defamer Hollywood | Following in the tragic and treacherous path of Prison Break actor Lane Garrison, currently serving a 40 month sentence for killing a Beverly Hills High School student on a DUI fun run, Roger Avary, the Academy Award-winning writer/director who’s worked on Pulp Fiction, The Rules of Attraction, and most recently the Beowulf screenplay, now finds himself in his own living nightmare following a fatal accident early Sunday morning in Ojai. Here’s the chain of events, according to the LAT: Avary was driving outside Ojai Lumber Co. building at 2:54 a.m Sunday when the accident occured. Avary’s wife, Gretchen, 40, was ejected from the back seat. She was taken by paramedics to Ojai Valley Community Hospital, with injuries listed as “serious.” Passenger Andreas Zedini, 34, of Italy, died at Ventura County Medical Center. Firefighters had to pull him from the wreckage. Avary was arrested on suspicion of felony driving under the influence and was booked into Ventura County Jail before he posted $50,000 bail. This all amounts to a triple-decker shit sandwich for one of the founding fathers of the legendary Video Archives in Manhattan Beach. At this point we’re just praying that Mrs. Avary pulls through OK. ‘Pulp Fiction’ co-writer arrested after fatal crash [LAT] More »
Mischa Barton Opens Up To Ryan Seacrest About Her DUI, Set To A Marvelous Array Of Fantastical Creatures
8:45AM Seth | Last Celeb DUI of 2007 winner Mischa Barton phoned into omnipresent showbiz presence Ryan Seacrest’s radio show On Air this morning, her first public statement on the matter since being picked up by cops in WeHo two days after Christmas for driving under the influence of alcohol and non-medical marijuana. She takes full responsibility for her foolhardy actions in the interview, though places a tiny bit of the blame on all of L.A., which, unlike her commuter-friendly hometown of New York, renders it so very difficult to drag oneself home after getting obliterated without the use of one’s own vehicle. She also expresses concern that the event will somehow lump her in with a certain breed of messier starlet whose names shall go unmentioned–yet why the former paramour to Brandon “Firecrotch” Davis and Cisco “Balls” Adler would ever think such a thing is anyone’s guess. And a special thank-you to Defamer videographer Molly McAleer, who has set the audio clip to an enchanted image party composed entirely of magical creatures, some of which might have danced through the heads of subject and/or interviewer at any given moment throughout the conversation.
