Jail Time For Heather Locklear?

Sassy Smith — Wed, 19 Nov 2008 13:08:00 GMT

Actress Heather Locklear was arrested on September 27 for suspicion of driving under the influence in Montecito. A photog called 911 saying that Locklear was "driving erratically." She's now been formally charged by the Santa Barbara Police Department for driving under the influence of drugs. The drugs were prescription meds.

The incident occurred two months after the 47-year-old completed four weeks of treatment for anxiety and depression. She could, if convicted, face up to six months in jail.

Senior Deputy District Attorney Lee Carter said, "Lab tests showed she had no alcohol in her system and no illegal narcotics of any kind." No word on what specific medications were taken or what amounts.

Carter added, "We believe that the prescriptions she was taking could have impaired her ability to drive a motor vehicle safely."

Heather's arraignment is slated for January 26 in Santa Barbara Superior Court.

I like her - she's one of the few celebrities that has stayed under the radar without much incident. I hope her daughter Ava is okay through all of this!

Heather Locklear DUI: Cop Takes Pics With Personal Cell Phone

Sassy Smith — Fri, 03 Oct 2008 11:09:00 GMT

Heather Locklear was pulled over last weekend for suspicion of DUI - it's since been determined that she was not drinking but seemed "disoriented" and believed to be under the influence of some sort of controlled substance. And while it's probably procedure in some cases for officers to have video and/or photos of arrests (with a dash-cam for instance), it's probably not legit for one of the arresting officers to be taking photos with a personal cell phone. Something smells bad....

According to TMZ (and the photo clearly shows), the CHP officer is snapping pics of Locklear with a cell phone before she gets handcuffed. And it could be legit had it been a department issued phone but it's not - it's the personal cell phone of the police officer.

Santa Barbara officials claim that the officer was taking photos to document the scene - for evidence purposes and also to protect the officers in the event that Locklear claims inpropriety.

Officials say that the video and photos will be turned over to the D.A's office as evidence and nothing improper was done. However, TMZ spoke with several CHP officers who say that cops should not be using their personal cell phones to snap pics especially when a celebrity is involved.

Seems fishy to me - sure, if it was a CHP issued camera, then that would be one thing, but photos taken with an officer's personal phone - not buying that it's a legit procedure!

Vince Young is a Mama's Boy?

Whit Honea — Wed, 17 Sep 2008 11:31:00 GMT

Vince Young of the Tennessee Titans is, apparently, a mama's boy- not that there is anything wrong with that.

Strollerderby is running a piece on Young that explains no matter how old you are, or how big of a celebrity you become, you're still somebody's baby. Accept it.

Vince is having some other issues though, and hopefully he works through them quick and safe.

Andy Dick Arrested For Drugs & Sexual Battery!!

Sassy Smith — Wed, 16 Jul 2008 17:24:00 GMT

Comedian and actor Andy Dick, 42, was arrested in Murrieta on suspicion of drug possession and sexual battery charges. What is wrong with this man? He's so talented and seems to want to p*ss his life away. He's certainly setting a great example for his three kids.

Dick is being held at the Southwest Detention Center with the bail amount set at $5,000.

Update from TMZ:

Around 1:15 a.m this morning cops tell us they responded to a report of a person peeing in the parking lot outside the wing joint, causing a disturbance.

Once there, they stopped a van and found Dick in the passenger seat. He was arrested for allegedly groping a 17-year-old girl's breast and pulling her top down.

When he was searched, cops say they found weed and one Xanax in his front pants pocket.

I can't even imagine what his kids are thinking right now. Sure, this is all "allegedly" and he's not been found guilty of anything yet, but still - must be hard for his children. Especially his youngest - daughter Meg, 11.

Get help Andy!

MTV Asks: Was Jamie Lynn Raped?

HerBadMother — Mon, 28 Apr 2008 18:16:00 GMT

Actually, they're framing the question more as "is Jamie-Lynn's pregnancy which may or may not be the result of a rape legal?" Which, really, it's a bit late and a lot pointless to be asking that question, isn't it? And, also, you know, maybe a little bit alarmist?

Sure, nobody seems to be quite sure of Casey Aldridge's exact age - he could be as old as nineteen, which complicates the legality of his, erm, relations with Jamie Lynn - nor do they know where, exactly, those relations took place (both which have a bearing upon whether those relations could be called statutory rape) but please - isn't the whole legality of the relationship that probably* spawned this child kind of beside the point? I mean, she's a teenager who's about to have a baby and who may or may not be equipped to deal with the pressures of having said baby, so aren't there bigger things to worry about here?

It's not on the scale of Miley-Cyrus-Gone-Topless, granted - we are, after all, talking about a knocked-up girl who's hiding out in Louisana, and not dropping her clothes for major magazines - but still. New baby for a girl who's terrified of becoming a mother? That's the real hand-wringer here, not the question of whether her boyfriend is 18 or 19 and whether or not they did it in Louisiana.

*(Probably, because nobody ever did really dispute those rumors that there was another, older man in the picture at the supposed time of conception. Which, yes, eeewwww, but worth pointing out here.)

Hey, Jamie Lynn - Isn't It A Bit Too Early To Be Emulating Britney?

HerBadMother — Sat, 26 Apr 2008 19:25:00 GMT

I suppose that this question is coming a bit too late, seeing as Jamie Lynn hasn't exactly proved herself to be in possession of vastly superior judgment skills to those of her sister, but still. I had least hoped that in some things - say, modest Frappuccino consumpion, safe driving, or other basic life skills - Jamie Lynn might make some sort of effort to steer away from her sister's path. but apparently not.

Jamie Lynn was caught on tape the other day driving without a seatbelt. Which, you know, we're all accustomed to with Britney - who needs seatbelts and child-seats when you're a supah-stah?!? - but still. I'd had higher hopes for Jamie. I mean, it was clear that she could pump her own gas without the aid of paparazzi - why shouldn't we expect that she could follow basic rules of vehicular safety for herself and her unborn child?

Yeah, well. I should know better than to even toy with the word 'expectations' when it comes to celebrities.

Mama Spears Is Ashamed Of Jamie Lynn

HerBadMother — Sat, 26 Apr 2008 15:15:00 GMT

Life & Style magazine is reporting that Lynn Spears, mom of the young and pregnant Jamie Lynn Spears, is disappointed that her daughter got knocked up so young. The magazine says that Lynne spoke exclusively to one of its reporters while en route from L.A. to New Orleans, and that she confided, "I'm a bit disappointed that my youngest daughter got pregnant at such an early age."

Which, if it's true, demonstrates a lack of judgment (telling a reporter that you're ashamed of your kid? You want that kid to hate you?) that possibly matches that involved in having unprotected sex at any age. But, really, it's got to be highly unlikely that the story is true. I mean, the Spears family doesn't demonstrate strong skills in judgment, in general, but they do know their press, and so I doubt very much that Mama spears slipped up in this way.

Not that she might not have those thoughts in private. I certainly would strongly prefer that my own daughter not get pregnant in her teens. But I would keep my mouth shut about it, to her and to everyone else.

In any case, OK! magazine - almost as upstanding an authority as Life & Style - has come to Lynn's defense: they say the L&S interview never happened, quoting a spokesperson: "When Lynne Spears is ready to give an interview, I can assure you it will be a true account, without speculation as to whether or not she participated."

Oooookay, then. Glad that's cleared up. Thanks, tabloids!

Britney's Gonna Do It Again

Jamie Lynn Fears Childbirth

HerBadMother — Thu, 24 Apr 2008 16:46:00 GMT

And so she should. It ain't no walk in the park. Really, it's not. The thing of it is, though? They've got drugs for that.

Apparently, Jamie's mom, Lynne, showed her a video of a woman undergoing natural childbirth, and the poor girl puked from fear and grossed-outedness. Which, really? Not surprising. That shiz is totally alarming to most people who have never gone through it. Yes, beauty of the miracle of life, blah, blah, but there's no getting around the fact that it hurts like a bitch and that? Is totally obvious to anyone who watches it happen. So, yeah, showing your pregnant teenager a video of what labor without meds looks like? Kinda like showing those friends of yours who are going camping in the Amish backcountry The Blair Witch Project.

Seriously. Somebody needs to show Jamie a video of a woman giving birth after having had an epidural. You know, where said woman relaxes comfortably sipping at her ice cubes and adjusting the volume on her 'birth-music' mixed CD. Obvz, it doesn't always happen like that, but still. There's a lot less screaming.

Jamie Lynn Spears Hit in Mouth: An Open Letter

Whit Honea — Sat, 12 Apr 2008 18:20:00 GMT

Dear Jamie,

Perhaps you know that the National Enquirer ran a story about your shenanigans last week in which a bunch of drunks were fighting at a party and you threw your pregnant ass in the ruckus and took an elbow in the kisser. If not, this is what they said:

“Jamie Lynn decided she could break it up, but got elbowed hard in the mouth by one of the boys. She went crazy, screaming at everyone… crying, screaming and covering her mouth. Casey (Aldridge) was so drunk, he just kept trying to hush her up. Lynne Spears called Jamie Lynn and bitched her out for going. Jamie Lynn’s dad Jamie called Casey and told him if anything happens to his daughter, he will have to deal with him.”

Why, Jamie, is it starting to feel like I've seen your life before? Between your sister Britney and the collective catalog of COPS you are oddly comforting in your familiarity.

I was shocked when you announced you were pregnant. I was amused when you were featured in Hustler, though to be honest it wasn't very funny, and I was indifferent to your recent act of going postal.

Then why is it that I feel obligated to write you about this latest incident? What line did you cross that teen pregnancy, porn magazines and the United States Postal Service fail to meet?

The thing is that your latest action only amplified the obvious, you don't make very good decisions, and while the prior mistakes, be they footwear (seriously, what's up?), Casey Aldridge, or picking Nickelodeon over Disney, have had their respective consequences, none of them put your baby at risk.

That's what you did by jumping in between a group of drunk boys fighting. Actually, that's what you did when you agreed to go into a room full of drunk boys to begin with.

You are young and plenty has been made about your age, your family and so on. The bottom line is that regardless of the path that brought you here, here you are, and you need to start taking the necessary precautions to make sure this is the beginning of something wonderful and not just another sad saga in the Spears storyline.

Sincerely,

Whit

Indiana Jones Hauled Away From Post-Oscar Party By Cops!

HerBadMother — Mon, 25 Feb 2008 20:50:00 GMT

Harrison Ford is, apparently, so deeply influenced by his Indiana Jones alter-ego that he can't just, you know, go the Oscars and the parties and drink heavily before being parcelled home in a limousine like all the other celebrities. Harrison needs to go the Oscars and the Oscar parties and get liquored up and escorted home in the backseat of a police car.

Okay, I don't know about the liquored up part, but I do know that he was - with partner Callista Flockhart (who, between you and me, needs a sammich even more desperately than does Courtney Love) - escorted home from Elton John's Oscar party in a police car. Which, you know, is pretty wild and crazy stuff for a guy who's, what? In his sixties? Even if the cop-escort was just because his own car-and-driver went missing.

According to E! Online, Harrison and Callista just got stranded, and needed a lift:

“They were standing outside waiting for their car to pick them up,” a source reports. “They called and called and called the car, but the driver never showed.”

Deputies from the West Hollywood Sheriff's Station came to the rescue. They offered Indiana Jones and the Brothers & Sisters star a lift.

"Harrison and Calista accepted and were taken home in the back of a squad car!" says my source.

A spokesman for the Sheriff's Department insists the missing car became a public safety issue because people were crowding around Ford and Flockhart. They were driven less than a mile to the Sunset Tower hotel to visit some friends, the rep says.

So it wasn't facing a speeding three-ton boulder or face-melting Lost-Ark-farts, but whatevs. Still kinda exciting.

Paltrow and Martin Fight in a Trailer: As Seen on Cops

Whit Honea — Fri, 14 Dec 2007 19:41:00 GMT

Gwyneth Paltrow and Chris Martin have been rumored to be on the outs for some time. There were reports of them fighting in her trailer on the set of Iron Man.

“Gwyneth wanted the entire family with her on-set, so Chris would bring [their children] Apple and Moses to her trailer with him almost every day. But Chris turned his wife’s dressing room into a gathering place to hang out with friends and smoke and invited the crew in for little parties. That drove her crazy, and there were fights.”

They're like a vegetarian My Name is Earl.

Britney Spears, Are You an Idiot?

Britney Spears: A Picture is Worth A Bunch of Words, Y'all

Britney was driving fast, apparently on her way to Vegas. The rumor is that she was chased for a mile with the cops on her tail. She said she was speeding to get away from the paparazzi. Word is they, the police, not the cameras, let her go.

Since when does Britney Spears try to outrun the paparazzi?
