Nolte: He’s Everywhere You Want To Be
7:30AM Seth | Pictured is the customised credit card delivered to David Mackie, a 35-year-old salesman from Oklahoma who had the simple dream of wanting to see Nick Nolte’s mugshot every time he paid for something with plastic. More »
Matt Dillon Busted For Driving 106 MPH Just So He Could Feel Something
5:30AM Kyle Buchanan | In Newbury, Vermont, nobody touches you. They’re always behind this metal and glass. Matt Dillon thinks we miss that touch so much, he drove at an insane 106 mph before being busted by police yesterday. More »
Arrest Of Bill Pullman’s Son Reveals The Ravages Of Moonshineface
6:07AM Seth | We’ve learned of legal troubles befalling the House of Pullman—that’s Bill Pullman, to be exact, former U.S. President during our darkest alien-invading hour—involving his son Jack, who was arrested Monday in North Carolina for “allegedly possessing moonshine and assaulting a government official.” Witnesses say the three Xs on the jug Pullman was buzzing into while his friend plucked a washtub bass offered the first indications that illicit, home-distilling activities were afoot.

Nick Nolte Tells The Amazing Story Of The Infamous Mugshot That Wasn’t
2:40AM Seth | Having played everything in his long career from Barbra Streisand’s sodomy-repressing patient in The Prince of Tides to a hook-handed war diarist in the upcoming Tropic Thunder, it seems a small tragedy that the single image most associated with permagrizzled thespian Nick Nolte is his infamous mugshot. Generally regarded as the gold standard to which all celebrity booking photos are held, there was virtually no aspect of the portrait that failed to convey a purity of wrongness: the sunken features, the pained grimace, the waterlily print buttoned up to the neck, and, of course, that shock of stringy chaos atop his head, defying all laws of physics as if fashioned by some oversugared pre-schooler out of a box of golden pipe-cleaners. Entire post-graduate seminars were dedicated to exploring its mysteries and beauty. So imagine our shock when the model himself finally revealed the true story behind its conception on The Tonight Show. This wasn’t a mugshot at all, it turns out, but Nolte’s selfless contribution to the Sacramento Policemen’s Annuity and Benefit Fund. More »
Fear And Loathing In Palm Springs With Former ‘CSI’ Star Gary Dourdan
7:35AM Seth | As we write this, recent CSI casualty Gary Dourdan is likely recovering from an even gnarlier Coachella hangover than most: TMZ reports the actor was discovered by Palm Springs police asleep in his car at 5:21 a.m., upon which he was arrested on “suspicion of possession of heroin, cocaine, ecstasy and prescription drugs,” otherwise known as the bare minimum required to make a Jack Johnson set seem remotely exciting. His genuinely pained mugshot—we seriously can’t stare at it for more than a few seconds—is pictured above. Developing… “CSI” Star Popped for Heroin, Coke, Ecstasy [TMZ] More »
Beer Drops Keep Fallin’ On His Head
12:00PM Defamer Hollywood | Whew! For a minute there, we thought that Celebrity Rehab miracle worker Dr. Drew had somehow figured out a way to exorcise Andy Dick of the booze-craving demons that make him Hollywood’s most lovable, semi-recovering addict. But once a bottle of beer, a bicycle, and an eager audience of photographers were introduced, even the good doctor’s famed sobriety coaching never stood a chance. [via TMZ] A bold prediction: Bedazzled mugshots will be all the rage with the troubled starlet set in ‘08, a trend that will add some much-needed flair to the uniformly dreary prison-intake photography that was the hallmark of the previous year. Hunky SF mayor Gavin Newsom decides to marry an actress, but we’ve fallen so hopelessly out of touch with his ill-advised dips into the Hollywood dating pool that we mistakenly thought he was still shacked up with the one from CSI: Miami. We regret the error, and promise to pay more careful attention to the candidates for his eventual third marriage. How many dudes can Lindsay Lohan hook up with in a 24-hour period? This many. More »
There’s Nothing Like A Calming Aqua Palette To Take The Edge Off Nolte’s Crazy
7:25AM Defamer Hollywood | While the recently disseminated mugshots of Chris “Formerly of HBO” Albrecht and David “Bud Bundy” Faustino did little but remind us of the vaguely depressing fact that the rich and famous don’t photograph any better than the average person with a camera jammed in their face at their lowest moment, in the right hands, these booking photos can aspire to something like Art. (Though we might argue that Nick Nolte needed no such help.) BoingBoing points us to the “Warholised” version of some of notable jailhouse subjects featured in the Hollywood’s Most Wanted exhibit currently on display at the ArcLight, where moviegoers waiting for their screening to start can wander over from the nearby display exposing Shrek the Third’s cinematic secrets and experience Mel Gibson’s impishly unrepentant grin in a new way.
