Macaulay Culkin Released After Drug Arrest

Former child star Macaulay Culkin was arrested on drug charges Friday during a traffic stop, authorities said. The 24-year-old actor, best known for his role in the "Home Alone" movies, was taken into custody on complaints of possession of a controlled dangerous substance without a valid prescription and possession of marijuana, according to the Oklahoma County Sheriff's office.

Culkin, who lives in New York City, was booked into the Oklahoma County Jail and released after posting $4,000 bond, a jailer said.

Authorities confiscated about 17 grams of marijuana from a vehicle in which Culkin was a passenger. Officers also found 16 milligrams of prescription medications used to control anxiety and seizures, according to a police report.

Culkin was in a vehicle driven by a 22-year-old New York City man who was stopped for driving 70 mph in a 60-mph speed zone and for making an improper lane change. After receiving a verbal warning, the driver allowed police to search the vehicle.

Culkin told an officer there was $3,000 in a bag on the floor of the car. The officer opened it and found a clear baggie of what appeared to be marijuana, the report said.

A short time later, Culkin allegedly pulled another baggie out of his pocket that contained white pills and other medication. Additional marijuana was found rolled in a metal cigarette box, according to the report.

It was not clear whether Culkin had a lawyer. It also was not clear why Culkin was in Oklahoma City.

'Terminator 2' Actor Arrested

Edward Furlong's ploy to free some lobsters from their tank landed the actor in jail. He was arrested Wednesday night on a misdemeanor charge of alcohol intoxication in a public place in this northern Kentucky city.

Furlong, who appeared in "Terminator 2" and "American History X," spent about 1 1/2 hours in the Boone County jail before his release.

The animal-rights supporter and vegetarian was arrested after he and some friends removed lobsters from a tank at a Meijer grocery store. Furlong argued with store managers, who then called police, according to his arrest citation.

Furlong was unsteady on his feet, his speech was slurred and his breath smelled of alcohol, the citation said.

His arraignment is set for Oct. 1 in Boone County District Court.

Furlong is in the area to shoot his latest film, "Jimmy & Judy."

Actor Josh Brolin Arrested for Battery

Actor Josh Brolin was cited for misdemeanor domestic battery over the weekend after his wife, actress Diane Lane, called police during an argument at the couple's home.

Brolin, the son of actor James Brolin and stepson of Barbra Streisand, was arrested around 3 a.m. Sunday and released on $20,000 bail, Frank Mateljan, a spokesman for the city attorney's office, said Monday.

The city attorney is reviewing the case and no charges have been filed, he said. Domestic battery is a misdemeanor, Mateljan said.

Kelly Bush, the couple's spokeswoman, said the incident was a "misunderstanding" and the couple had reconciled.

Brolin and Lane were married in an August ceremony on Brolin's ranch north of Los Angeles. Lane, 39, the star of "Unfaithful" and "Under the Tuscan Sun," had been engaged to Brolin, 36, since 2002

American Pie star Natasha Lyonne was arrested at her New York city home last Friday after rowing with a neighbor and threatening their dog. According to reports, the 25-year-old actress burst into her neighbor's Manhattan apartment at 11pm, yelling abuse and tearing a mirror from the wall before grabbing and threatening their dog. Other tenants at the building called police, who arrested Lyonne. The actress was fined $729 and banned from driving for six months in 2002 after pleading guilty to driving under the influence.

Lindsay Lohan Sued Over L.A. Car Crash

"Mean Girls" actress Lindsay Lohan was sued Wednesday by two people who claim she injured them in a traffic accident last year.

The personal injury suit was filed in Superior Court on behalf of Eddie Pamilton and Ilex Harris. They claim the actress was driving in Studio City on Aug. 3 when she struck Pamilton's vehicle, leaving the pair with continuing "pain, discomfort and physical disability."

The suit seeks unspecified damages and compensation for medical expenses, lost earnings and income.

Lohan, 18, recently released her debut album, "Speak," and has starred in "Parent Trap," "Mean Girls," "Confessions of a Teenage Drama Queen" and "Freaky Friday."

The suit is only part of the teen's legal woes. Lohan's father responded Wednesday to his estranged wife's filing of divorce papers, saying he wants half of the 15 percent the movie starlet allegedly gives her mother a figure that could be as much as $6-$7 million a year.

Michael Lohan also said he wants Dina Lohan and other members of her family to undergo drug and alcohol testing and claimed that despite past problems with substance abuse, he is currently clean and sober.

"He is not an alcoholic, he is not a drug addict," attorney Dominic Barbara said at a press conference at his office on Long Island. "He loves his children, he doesn't want to hurt Lindsay in any way."

Barbara, whose high-profile clients have included Joey Buttafuoco and church secretary Jessica Hahn, said he called the press conference after being rebuffed by Dina Lohan's attorneys about a possible divorce settlement.

"I think these people are very foolish not wanting to talk," Barbara said.

He contended his client is entitled to half of the earnings the actress-singer gives to her mother.

Barbara said he also represents Lohan in a number of criminal prosecutions.

He is due in court in Suffolk County next week to answer charges from last summer that he allegedly skipped out on a $3,800 bill for several suites at a posh Long Island hotel. He also was charged with assault in Manhattan for allegedly swearing at a sanitation worker whose truck was blocking his car and punching him in the face.

"I tried to do this amicably," Lohan said at Wednesday's press conference. "I didn't want this to happen."

Dan Klores, a spokesman for Dina Lohan, said, "There's no point in dignifying the desires of a convicted felon who the court has already demanded stay away from his wife and children."

Sizemore jailed after bid to fake drug test

Actor Tom Sizemore has been jailed for violating his probation by failing a drug test after he was caught trying to use a prosthetic penis to fake the results, a prosecutor said Friday. Sizemore, 43, who played a battle-hardened sergeant in "Saving Private Ryan," was placed in custody Thursday. He was ordered to remain behind bars until a hearing Feb. 24, unless he posts $25,000 bond, Deputy District Attorney Sean Carney said. Last month, Judge Antonio Baretto had agreed to allow Sizemore to travel to Cambodia to shoot a film on condition that he pass a drug test every day prior to departure. Carney said two drug tests on the days following the fake penis incident showed Sizemore had methamphetamine in his system.

Kid Rock arrested after Tennessee bar fight

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (Reuters) - Singer Kid Rock was arrested early on Wednesday and charged with assault following a fight at a bar, police said.    

The 33-year-old entertainer was booked under his real name -- Robert James Ritchie -- when brought into night court, police spokesman Don Aaron said.

The complaint against him was filed by Jerry Campos, a DJ who was working at Christy's Cabaret when a squabble developed. Campos said he was struck by Rock in the eye and that a security tape recorded the incident.

The rock singer was arrested at the apartment of a friend about two hours later and, surrounded by reporters, exchanged jokes as he was booked. Police described him as "extremely friendly and cooperative."

Bond was posted at $3,000 on the misdemeanor charge and the singer left for Detroit. He was to return to Nashville on March 30 to face the charge in court.

Actor Sizemore Sentenced for Probation Violation

(https://xixax.com/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fus.news2.yimg.com%2Fus.yimg.com%2Fp%2Fap%2F20050324%2Fcapt.la11903242246.people_sizemore_la119.jpg&hash=65fef8376432b4f58c77ec30dc0ae4a06037025a)

LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - Actor Tom Sizemore was sentenced on Thursday to 21 months in jail on a probation violation stemming from his conviction for beating his ex- girlfriend, former "Hollywood madam" Heidi Fleiss.

Sizemore, 43, who played combat-hardened soldiers in the war films "Saving Private Ryan" and "Blackhawk Down," remained free on $25,000 bail pending the outcome of his appeal in the Fleiss case, but he was ordered by a second judge to enroll in a court-approved drug rehab program within three weeks.

Still, the actor was jubilant as he walked out of the Los Angeles courthouse between the two sentencing hearings, declaring, "I'm free, I won. Free at last!"

He also had derisive words for Assistant City Attorney Robert Cha, the prosecutor in the Fleiss matter, saying, "He's a chump, he's a C-student, he's a piece of garbage."

His remarks to reporters contrasted sharply with his demeanor in court, where he tearfully begged the judge for "a second chance" in sparing him a much tougher sentence sought by prosecutors -- 4 1/2 years' imprisonment.

Sizemore ended up back in court after failing a series of drug tests required as a condition of his probation for his 2003 domestic violence conviction in the Fleiss case and a separate guilty plea last fall for possessing methamphetamine.

In February, Sizemore was briefly jailed for trying to use a prosthetic penis sewn into boxer shorts and filled with a clean urine sample to fake a drug test sample.

Whether Sizemore ever serves the 21-month sentence imposed by Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Antonio Barreto Jr. depends on whether his conviction in the Fleiss case is upheld on appeal, a case that may take another 18 months to be heard.

Sizemore's lawyers said that even if he loses the appeal, the actor would only serve at most 10 months in jail, taking into account routine adjustments to his term.

MAXIMUM SENTENCE URGED

But Deputy District Attorney Sean Carney told reporters Sizemore faces up to three years in state prison if he fails to complete the court-ordered rehab.

During sentencing, Cha argued that the actor had shown no contrition for his behavior, had refused to accept responsibility for it and deserved the maximum punishment.

"The defendant has been coddled and enabled, based on his celebrity," Cha said. "He's deflecting blame."

Sizemore reacted with visible derision during much of the hearing, rolling his eyes, mocking the prosecutor and making gestures of exasperation.

But sobbing openly through his own rambling statement to the judge, Sizemore insisted he was truly remorseful.

"I'm not acting out. I'm begging. I'm beseeching. I cannot imagine my future without performing. I'm a good person. That's what I want people to know."

The actor acknowledged that he suffers from substance abuse -- "part of who I am is a person with a disease" -- but said he was "getting better." He also said his ordeal had brought him closer to his parents, who were present for the hearing.

Sizemore later said he planned to return Thursday evening to the set of his latest film, "Fear Itself," and would begin shooting another film, "Splinter," next week. He plays a corrupt cop in that movie.

Burt Reynolds Slaps Television Producer

Burt Reynolds apparently slapped a CBS-TV assistant producer in the face at a New York screening of his new film, "The Longest Yard."

The producer, who works for CBS News PATH, approached Reynolds on the red carpet outside a Chelsea theater Tuesday night. When he asked Reynolds to tell him about the film, the actor seemed annoyed.

"You don't know anything about the movie?" Reynolds replied.

The producer acknowledged he hadn't seen the movie or the original 1974 film. Reynolds then seemed to slap the producer. "What ... kinda of guy are you?" he asked.

CBS aired footage of the incident on "The Early Show" Wednesday morning.

Jeff Lane, a spokesman for Reynolds, said in a statement that Reynolds "playfully tapped (the producer) on the cheek, as if to say, `Well, that's not very nice.' He was kidding."

Slater Arrested for Alleged Groping

Actor Christian Slater was arrested early Tuesday and charged with groping a woman on a Manhattan street, police said.

Slater, 35, was accused of touching the woman's buttocks near 93rd Street and Third Avenue on the Upper East Side around 1:50 a.m., said a police spokesman, Detective John Sweeney.

The woman, who was not identified, flagged down police to report the incident, Sweeney said. Slater was found nearby and the woman identified him as the man who groped her.

Slater, who's appearing on Broadway in "The Glass Menagerie" was arrested on a charge of third-degree sexual abuse. He was expected Tuesday in Manhattan Criminal Court.

Slater starred in the 1980s classic "Heathers," as well as "True Romance," and "Untamed Heart" in the 1990s.

In August 1997, he was arrested after he allegedly bit a man in the stomach and threw a police officer against a wall during a rowdy party in Los Angeles. The actor later pleaded no contest to the charges and served 90 days in jail.

He filed for divorce earlier this year from television producer Ryan Haddon. In 2003, Haddon was accused of hitting him with a drinking glass during a fight in their Las Vegas hotel room. She was jailed briefly but no charges were filed.

Russell Crowe appears in court

Actor arrested on charges related to phone-throwing incident

NEW YORK (CNN) -- Actor Russell Crowe was arraigned Monday afternoon in Manhattan Criminal Court on charges of second degree assault and fourth decree criminal possession of a weapon for allegedly throwing a hotel telephone that struck a hotel employee in the face.

According to the criminal complaint accompanying the charges, Crowe admitted to the arresting police officer that he picked up the phone and threw it at the Mercer Hotel concierge "because he was angry," the Manhattan District Attorney's Office said.

NYPD Sgt. Michael Wysokowski earlier told CNN that Crowe "was upset because he couldn't get a call out to Australia."

Police said the victim was transported to St. Vincent's Hospital. Crowe was booked into the First Precinct and later escorted out, wearing handcuffs and sunglasses, for his arraignment.

His next court appearance was set for Sept. 14, the D.A.'s office said.

Universal Studios -- which released Crowe's latest film, "Cinderella Man" -- said it had "no comment" on the incident.

CNN has been unable, so far, to reach the actor's publicist, Robin Baum, or his attorney, Gerald Lefcourt.

Crowe was in New York promoting "Cinderella Man," a biopic based on the life of world heavyweight champ James J. Braddock, which opened in theaters last weekend.

According to Nielsen the movie ranked fourth place in theaters and grossed $18.6 million.

Crowe won an Oscar for Best Actor in 2001 for his movie "Gladiator."

Colin Farrell Sues Woman Over Sex Tape

LOS ANGELES - Actor     Colin Farrell is suing a woman for allegedly trying to distribute and profit from a sex tape he says the two recorded with the agreement they would never make it public.

The lawsuit filed Monday in Superior Court seeks general and compensatory damages as well as a temporary restraining order and injunction prohibiting the sale and exploitation of the videotape.

Farrell, 29, accuses Nicole Narain of trying to distribute the tape through an intermediary. The two had an intimate relationship 2 1/2 years ago and both agreed that the 15-minute tape that shows the couple having sex would be jointly owned by them and would remain private, according to the suit.

Narain could not be reached for comment. A call to a phone number listed for her revealed the number had been disconnected.

A message left for Farrell's attorney was not immediately returned Monday.

The lawsuit also accused the 31-year-old woman of working with the owner of an Internet pornography business and contacting the news media about the tape.

"Defendants' outrageous attempt to capitalize on the celebrity of plaintiff Colin Farrell ... through their unauthorized commercial exploitation of the highly private and confidential videotape exceeds all bounds of common human decency," the lawsuit states.

The lawsuit also said the release of the videotape would irreparably harm Farrell's reputation and career.

Billy Elliot attacks Blair

By SIMON THOMPSON
Sun Online

BILLY Elliot star Jamie Bell is to attack Tony Blair in a new anti-war movie, it has been revealed.
 
The actor has written a screenplay about a Londoner who plots to assassinate the Prime Minister after his best friend is killed in action in Iraq.

Jamie told Neon magazine it's not as intense as it seems.

He said: "It's kind of sweet - lots of singing, and the soldiers are cradling him to sleep even though there's blood and s**t all over them.
 
"I have some equipment, and I'll probably direct it myself, so no one will want anything to do with it."

311 vs. Scott Stapp in Bar Flap

Here's one battle of the bands that could have left marks.

Former Creed frontman Scott Stapp and members of 311 were involved in a Thanksgiving Day smackdown in a swanky Baltimore hotel.

In a Web posting this week, 311 says that Stapp "sucker-punched" drummer Chad Sexton following a chance meeting in the bar of the Harbor Court Hotel.

"We did not intend to discuss this incident publicly, but since rumors are beginning to spread we'd like to set the record straight," the band says, before giving its version of the incident.

Stapp, the message claims, entered the bar, "drank a shot at the bar and then threw his shot glass, smashing it on the bar. He was acting belligerent and got into an argument with patrons sitting at the bar. He then sat down next to [311 band member Douglas "SA" Martinez] and his wife. He made a disrespectful and crude remark to SA's wife. Chad and SA asked him to step away. He then sucker-punched Chad. Scott was looking for a fight--and that's what he got."

Speaking to Rolling Stone, Martinez says he fractured his hand in the fisticuffs.

Harbor Court employees confirmed Wednesday that a scuffle occurred sometime after 10 p.m. Staffers declined to disclose specifics, however; one clerk described the incident simply a "brief altercation."

Employees say Baltimore police were called to the hotel, but Stapp was not arrested and no charges have been filed. A public information officer would not confirm details of the incident.

Stapp, whose vocals helped Creed dominate the modern rock charts in the late 1990s and sell over 30 million albums worldwide before imploding last year, has yet to remark on the dustup.

His Los Angeles-based publicist, Dvora Vener, would only issue a "no comment" late Wednesday.

It's been a rough few days for the 32-year-old singer. His debut solo album, The Great Divide, barely dented the charts this week, opening at 19 with 94,000 in sales. (By comparison, Creed's final studio album, Weathered, sold 887,000 copies in its first week in 2001; and his former band mate's offshoot, Alter Bridge, sold 95,000 first-week copies last year of their debut, One Day Remains.)

Stapp has been dogged by rumors of alcohol abuse for years; Creed was sued by fans in Chicago, who said the singer was so intoxicated at a 2002 concert that he was unable to remember the words to some of Creed's best-known hits, like "Higher."

According to his Website, Stapp will begin touring in 2006 in support of The Great Divide.

Meanwhile, 311 is due in Toronto Friday as part of a fall tour in support of the Omaha-based band's latest album, Don't Tread on Me. The band is also set to tape two songs for Dick Clark's Rockin' New Year's Eve.

Actor Brad Renfro Arrested in Drug Sting

(https://xixax.com/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.latimes.com%2Fmedia%2Fphoto%2F2005-12%2F21098956.jpg&hash=25c4e65dc3eaef117ad2239f66e03365877fd86b)

Actor Brad Renfro was arrested in a sting operation after he allegedly tried to buy heroin near downtown's Skid Row, police said.

Renfro, 23, was booked for investigation of felony attempting to possess heroin, Detective Ron Hodges said.

"He was intending to buy real heroin from an undercover officer," Hodges said.

Renfro, the star of the 1994 film "The Client" was caught during a random sting operation Thursday that resulted in the arrests of 14 other suspects, Hodges said.

Renfro's lawyer did not immediately return a call for comment placed after business hours Thursday.

The actor was charged in 1998 with possession of cocaine and marijuana, but avoided jail time in a plea deal.

He was sentenced to two years' probation in January 2001 on charges of trying to steal a yacht in Fort Lauderdale, Fla.

He was arrested in May 2001 and charged with underage drinking. The next year, he was charged with driving without a license and public intoxication. Both violated terms of his probation. Renfro was ordered into an alcohol rehabilitation program in March 2002.

His movie credits include "Ghost World," "Bully" and "Apt Pupil."

Howie Day Arrested In Boston

12/27/2005 6:00 PM, Yahoo! Music
LAUNCH Radio Networks


Howie Day was arrested for rowdy behavior last Wednesday (December 21) at Boston's Logan Airport, after allegedly mixing alcohol with a sleeping pill on a plane. According to the Boston Herald, the flight crew told police that Day was verbally abusive, lit matches and kicked the backs of other passengers' seats. Day pleaded innocent when he was arraigned in Boston on Friday (December 23) and was released on personal recognizance. He's due back in court on March 16.

Although Day declined to comment, his lawyer told reporters, "He had a couple of drinks. The pill interacted with the drinks and he became intoxicated. He feels badly if he inconvenienced anyone, or caused any discomfort." The attorney added, "He has and will apologize, and our hope is that we'll be able to resolve this thing as promptly as possible."

This isn't the first time the Maine native has gotten in trouble with the law. In 2004, he was arrested in Madison, Wisconsin for allegedly locking a woman in the bathroom of a tour bus after she refused his sexual advances. He then broke the cell phone of another woman who tried to call police. After the incident, Day told police, "That was probably wrong of me. But I felt violated."

Shatner Sells Kidney Stone for Charity

An online casino has a piece of Capt. Kirk. Actor William Shatner has sold his kidney stone for $25,000, with the money going to a housing charity, it was announced Tuesday. Shatner reached agreement Monday to sell the stone to GoldenPalace.com.

"This takes organ donors to a new height, to a new low, maybe. How much is a piece of me worth?" he said in a telephone interview.

GoldenPalace.com is noted for its collection of oddities, which includes a partially eaten cheese sandwich thought to contain the image of the Virgin Mary.

"This is a bold new addition to our fleet," GoldenPalace.com Chief Executive Officer Richard Rowe said in a statement.

The money will go to Habitat for Humanity, which builds houses for the needy.

"This would be the first Habitat for Humanity house built out of stone," joked Darren Julien, president of Los Angeles-based Julien's Auctions, which handled the sale.

Shatner, who played Kirk on the original "Star Trek" TV show and won an Emmy for his role on "Boston Legal," passed the stone last fall.

The stone was so big, Shatner said, "you'd want to wear it on your finger."

"If you subjected it to extreme heat, it might turn out to be a diamond," he added.

Shatner said the idea of selling the stone came up after "Boston Legal" raised $20,000 for Habitat for Humanity. With the money for the stone, Shatner said there is about enough funding to build half a house.

GoldenPalace.com originally offered $15,000 for the stone but Shatner turned it down, noting that his "Star Trek" tunics have commanded more than $100,000. His counteroffer was accepted.

'James Bond' Director Tamahori Arrested

"James Bond" director Lee Tamahori was ordered to appear in court Feb. 24 following his arrest for allegedly approaching an undercover police officer and offering to perform a sex act for money, authorities said Thursday.

Tamahori's directing credits include Pierce Brosnan's 2002 James Bond film "Die Another Day" and last year's "xXx: State of the Union," starring Ice Cube and Samuel L. Jackson.

City attorney spokesman Frank Mateljan said the director was dressed in a black wig and off-the-shoulder dress when he approached an undercover police officer in Hollywood on Jan. 8 and offered to perform sex for money. He was arrested for investigation of soliciting an act of prostitution and loitering with the intent to commit prostitution, both misdemeanors.

His attorney, Mark Geragos, did not immediately return a call for comment Thursday.

Mateljan said police were running a prostitution sting when Tamahori, 55, approached the officer, who was sitting in a car.

The director was originally scheduled for arraignment Thursday but it was postponed until Feb. 24.

Tamahori is free on $2,000 bail. He could face up to six months in jail and a $1,000 fine if convicted.

Waitaminute... so if I'm reading this right, our buddy Lee approached the undercover cop and offered to perform sex acts, for which he, Lee Tamahori, would be paid money.  Not Lee Tamahori offered to pay the cop for sex acts.  Lee Tamahori was offering himself up for prostitution.  And dressed in drag, I see.

Should we see a picture of Lee Tamahori?  Sure, let's look at a picture.
(https://xixax.com/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi35.photobucket.com%2Falbums%2Fd179%2Fpolkablues%2Ftamahorilee.jpg&hash=4453a1cd6f5968084ad0e3d4b2b38c6ac79a1c33)

Now, I'm not saying I'm any sort of expert on female impersonators, but in my lay opinion, I would say that would make one extraordinarily unattractive woman.

This incident could, however, shed some light on Mr. Tamahori's continual employment as a film director.  I'm thinking there are a few execs out there in Hollywood who have, to phrase it delicately, taken Lee Tamahori up on his offer, and are now compelled to give him work if they want to keep it quiet.  It's the only way to explain how a director could pull a two-fer like "Die Another Day" and "XxX: State of the Union", and still not end up shunned and unemployed.

Actor Tries to Trademark 'N' Word

By Rogers Cadenhead
02:00 AM Feb, 23, 2006

The actor Damon Wayans has been engaged in a 14-month fight to trademark the term "Nigga" for a clothing line and retail store, a search of the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office's online database reveals.

Wayans wants to dress customers in 14 kinds of attire from tops to bottoms, and use the controversial mark on "clothing, books, music and general merchandise," as well as movies, TV and the internet, according to his applications.

But, so far, his applications have been unsuccessful. Trademark examiner Kelly Boulton rejected the registration dated Dec. 22, citing a law that prohibits marks that are "immoral or scandalous." A previous attempt by Wayans was turned down on identical grounds six months earlier.

"While debate exists about in-group uses of the term, 'nigga' is almost universally understood to be derogatory," Boulton wrote to Wayans' attorney, William H. Cox, according to the application.

Cox and other representatives of the actor did not respond to interview requests about the registration.

Wayans can appeal the rejection, but experts in trademark law differ on his chances for success.

Lynda Zadra-Symes, a trademark lawyer in California, said Wayans may be successful. She compared "Nigga" to the successful registration of Dykes on Bikes. The San Francisco Women's Motorcycle Contingent fought the Trademark Office for three years to overturn an initial rejection of a Dykes on Bikes trademark. The mark was published Jan. 24.

"Because the application was by a group of lesbians it was eventually allowed to publish," Zadra-Symes said.

"This is a great victory," the group proclaimed on its website. "It affirms our right to determine who we are and how we present ourselves to the world."

However, Tawnya Wojciechowski, another trademark attorney practicing in California, compared Wayans' application to the ongoing legal case where Washington Redskins trademarks have been challenged by seven Native Americans. "They're going to have a really tough time," Wojciechowski predicted.

The word "nigga" is ubiquitous in hip-hop music, where it provides half of a rhyming couplet radio listeners never get to hear in the Grammy-winning song "Gold Digger" by Kanye West.

Ol' Dirty Bastard used the term 76 times in the 1999 album Nigga Please, not counting repetitions in a chorus.

In January, an episode of the late-night Cartoon Network series Boondocks was criticized for putting the word in the mouth of a fictionalized Martin Luther King Jr.

The effort to commercialize "nigga" drew a sharp response from a black school official who participated in a forum about the word earlier this month at Arkansas State University in Jonesboro.

"I don't care for it in any form," said Dr. Lonnie Williams, associate vice chancellor for student affairs. "Either way you pronounce it, spell it, anything associated with it -- I find it offensive."

If Wayans succeeds in persuading the Trademark Office to permit the mark, he may have to deal with Keon Rhodan, a 29-year-old entrepreneur in Charleston, South Carolina, who has been using "Nigga" on a line of T-shirts, hoodies and other attire for six years in a part-time, trunk-of-his-car business.

Rhodan attempted to register "Nigga'Clothing" as a trademark in 2001 and was denied by the Trademark Office.

"They said it was disparaging," he said.

Rhodan, who is black, said that he's sold around 2,000 of the shirts at events. When he began selling the shirts, emblazoned with the term "Nigga," he thought he would take criticism, especially from older people.

"I was in the mall with one of the shirts on, and an old lady said, 'Where did you get that shirt from?'" he said, expecting the worst. "She followed me to the car and bought five shirts for her grandchildren."

Rhodan believes that affectionate use of the term within the black community should make it an acceptable mark, but the Trademark Office has thus far has not been persuaded by that argument.

"The very fact that debate is ongoing regarding in-group usage, shows that a substantial composite of African-Americans find the term 'nigga' to be offensive," Boulton wrote in rejecting Wayans.

Though attempts to commercialize "Nigga" coincide with a generational shift in how the word is perceived, the clothing is still likely to test some boundaries, as Rhodan demonstrated in a phone interview.

"You couldn't wear it," he said.

Singer George Michael arrested in drugs probe

British singer George Michael was arrested on Sunday on suspicion of possessing drugs after he was found slumped in a car in central London, a police source said.

Michael, 42, who has sold more than 80 million records worldwide during a 25-year career, was arrested in the Hyde Park area of the capital early on Sunday, the source said.

A London police spokesman issued a statement saying a 42-year-old man had been held on suspicion of possessing Class C drugs, a group in British law that includes cannabis, tranquilizers and some painkillers.

"We were called by a member of the public to a man seen slumped over the steering wheel of a car," the statement said. "He was arrested on suspicion of possession of controlled substances."

He was bailed to return to a police station in late March pending a police investigation.

Michael's manager and publicist could not be reached for comment.

Under British law, anyone convicted of having Class C drugs can be jailed for up to two years and face an unlimited fine, according to the Home Office (interior ministry) Web site.

In a front page report, the Sun newspaper said the singer was found in a dark-colored Range Rover parked on Hyde Park Corner, one of central London's busiest intersections.

The unsourced report said he was taken into police custody and was examined by a doctor. He had his photograph and fingerprints taken and was released after more than seven hours, the report said.

It is not the star's first brush with the law.

Michael was arrested in April, 1998, for engaging in a "lewd act" in a public toilet in Los Angeles, after which he ended years of speculation by announcing that he was gay.

He told Reuters in an interview last year that he was giving up the world of pop, saying he found the media attention and celebrity "unbearable."

The singer had a string of hits in the 1980s with the band Wham! before forging a successful solo career with albums such as "Faith," "Listen Without Prejudice, Vol. 1" and "Patience."

His Brazilian boyfriend Anselmo Feleppa died of an AIDS-related condition in 1993, and Michael fought a legal battle with his record label Sony in the early 1990s before being bought out in a deal reported to be worth $40 million.

Yanni Arrested in Alleged Domestic Dispute
Mon Mar 6, 11:43 PM ET

MANALAPAN, Fla. - The musician Yanni was arrested at his home after an alleged domestic dispute with his girlfriend, authorities said.

Yanni, whose legal name is John Yanni Christopher, was arrested early Friday and faces a domestic battery charge, according to a police report.

The Greek-born singer-pianist denied the allegations.

Yanni asked his girlfriend, Silvia Barthes, to leave his beachfront home in Manalapan on Thursday night, the police report said. Barthes, 33, told police she attempted to pack her clothing but the 51-year-old musician threw it on the ground.

She told officers he then grabbed her arms and shook her, throwing her on the bed, and jumped on top of her, according to the report.

Yanni told police Barthes kicked him, and he believed he injured his finger during the incident, the report said.

No one answered a call to a telephone listing for a John Christopher in Manalapan late Monday. But the musician said in a statement he was innocent.

"These allegations are cruel, false, without merit and baseless," said the statement released by his manager, Danny O'Donovan. "At a more appropriate time and place, I hope and pray I will have an opportunity to address my fans and colleagues all over the world."






Its so disappointing to find out his real name is John Yanni Christopher.  I thought/hoped his name would end in "opoulos."

Mon Mar 6, 11:43 PM ET

MANALAPAN, Fla. - The musician Yanni was arrested at his home after an alleged domestic dispute with his girlfriend, authorities said.

Yanni, whose legal name is John Yanni Christopher, was arrested early Friday and faces a domestic battery charge, according to a police report.

The Greek-born singer-pianist denied the allegations.

Yanni asked his girlfriend, Silvia Barthes, to leave his beachfront home in Manalapan on Thursday night, the police report said. Barthes, 33, told police she attempted to pack her clothing but the 51-year-old musician threw it on the ground.

She told officers he then grabbed her arms and shook her, throwing her on the bed, and jumped on top of her, according to the report.

Yanni told police Barthes kicked him, and he believed he injured his finger during the incident, the report said.

No one answered a call to a telephone listing for a John Christopher in Manalapan late Monday. But the musician said in a statement he was innocent.

"These allegations are cruel, false, without merit and baseless," said the statement released by his manager, Danny O'Donovan. "At a more appropriate time and place, I hope and pray I will have an opportunity to address my fans and colleagues all over the world."






Its so disappointing to find out his real name is John Yanni Christopher.  I thought/hoped his name would end in "opoulos."
I dunno.  That chick's story doesn't really make sense.

"Leave my house!"
"Okay, just let me pack my ba--"
"NO!  Now I will throw you on my bed and jump on top of you."

Well, I suppose it might make sense in the context that it's Yanni.

Rodriguez Starts Jail Time -- Then Vows to Leave U.S.
Source: TMZ.com

'Lost' star Michelle Rodriguez turned herself in to start serving her jail sentence Thursday -- one day after pledging to leave the country once her hard time is done.

Rodriguez will serve 60 days in a Los Angeles jail for a DUI-related probation violation. She showed up at LA Metro Court on Thursday with her lawyer to start her term.

Less than a day earlier, Rodriguez was videotaped walking outside of a book store on Melrose Avenue, where she told photographers she's not long for the U.S. "I'm moving to France," she says. "You know, people don't bother you there. I do what I got to do. Then I leave the country and never come back."


:waving:

There is a God. I will gladly buy her her plane ticket.

'Lost' actress finds way out of jail

Actress Michelle Rodriguez was released from jail early, after serving less than a day of a 60-day jail sentence, authorities said Tuesday. Rodriguez was sentenced for violating probation terms after her drunken driving arrest in Hawaii. She was released Thursday from a Los Angeles County jail due to overcrowding, authorities said. The former star of ABC's "Lost" still must serve 30 days of community service and remain on probation until June 2009, a spokeswoman for the city attorney's office said. Our prosecutors are not happy about it, but that is the sad reality of our overcrowded jails," said spokeswoman Contessa Mankiewicz. Rodriguez's friend, designer Anand John, told People magazine in a story posted Tuesday on its Web site, "She knows this wasn't a literal get-out-of-jail-free card. Michelle's taken responsibility for the past, and now she's ready to focus on her career." (AP)

Rodriguez Held Back by Attention Deficit Disorder

The Lost beauty has such trouble focusing she knows it will affect her career choices - but she is reluctant to take medication to treat the frustrating affliction. She tells Cosmopolitan magazine, "I want to write and direct, but it's not easy with Add. I have a hard time focusing when I'm alone. I'm a scatterbrain, but I'm nervous of taking medication.

Axl Rose to pay guard he allegedly bit

Axl Rose spent most of the day in a Stockholm jail cell after allegedly biting a security guard in the leg at his hotel, police said.

The Guns N' Roses frontman was arrested early Tuesday after attacking and threatening the guard and causing damage to the Berns Hotel, where the alleged scuffle took place, police spokeswoman Towe Hagg said.

Rose was released from jail that evening, after he admitted to the charges and agreed to pay a fine of $5,500, Hagg said.

The 44-year-old rocker was also ordered to pay $1,360 in damages to the security guard, she said.

Catarina Oscarsson, a spokeswoman for concert organizer Ema Telstar, said the band wasn't traveling with a publicist and would not comment on the arrest.

Hagg told The Associated Press that Rose was drunk during the confrontation and was not questioned by police until after he had sobered up.

"He was deemed too intoxicated to be questioned right away," she said.

It was unclear what caused the fight, but Swedish tabloids said the guard tried to intervene when Rose started arguing with a woman in the hotel lobby.

Police officer Fredrik Nylen was quoted by the daily Aftonbladet Web site as saying Rose acted aggressively toward police and had to be handcuffed and restrained in the hotel.

"He kept a high profile, so to speak," Nylen, one of the police officers who helped arrest Rose, was quoted as saying.

Guns N' Roses played a concert in Stockholm's Globe Arena on Monday night, and had been partying at a well-known nightclub before the scuffle, Aftonbladet said.

The band was scheduled to perform in Oslo, Norway, on Wednesday night.

In May, Rose and fashion designer Tommy Hilfiger capped an evening out at a new club called The Plumm in New York City's Chelsea neighborhood with midnight fisticuffs.

The scuffle reportedly started after Rose moved the drink of Hilfiger's girlfriend. According to Rose, Hilfiger, 55, smacked him in the arm and told him to put the drink back.

Rose was at the club to play a surprise set for "Rent" actress Rosario Dawson for her 27th birthday party.

He did perform, and dedicated the song "You're Crazy" to "my good friend Tommy Hilfiger."

Limbaugh likely to wait several days
By BRIAN SKOLOFF, Associated Press Writer 2 hours, 5 minutes ago

WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. - Rush Limbaugh will likely have to wait several days to find out if he violated his deal with prosecutors in a prescription fraud case when authorities found him in possession of a bottle of Viagra that was apparently prescribed to someone else, a spokesman for the state attorney's office said Tuesday.

Limbaugh, 55, was detained for more than three hours Monday at Palm Beach International Airport after he returned on his private plane from a vacation in the Dominican Republic. Customs officials found Viagra in his bag, but his name wasn't on the prescription, Palm Beach County sheriff's spokesman Paul Miller said.

Limbaugh's lawyer, Roy Black, said the prescription was written in his doctor's name "for privacy purposes." The conservative radio host was released without being charged and investigators confiscated the Viagra, which treats erectile dysfunction.

Limbaugh joked about the search on his radio show Tuesday, saying Customs officials didn't believe him when he said he got the pills at the Clinton Library and he was told they were blue M&Ms. He later added, chuckling: "I had a great time in the Dominican Republic. Wish I could tell you about it."

It is generally not illegal under Florida law for a physician to prescribe medication in a third party's name if all parties are aware and the doctor documents it correctly, said Mike Edmondson, a spokesman for the state attorney in Palm Beach County. He would not discuss specifics in the Limbaugh case Tuesday.

The sheriff's office was continuing its investigation and would turn the case over to prosecutors in several days, Edmondson said. The alleged violation could be a second-degree misdemeanor if Limbaugh's doctor doesn't confirm the prescription.

Under last month's deal with prosecutors, authorities will dismiss a "doctor shopping" charge if Limbaugh doesn't get arrested for 18 months, among other terms. Prosecutors had said he illegally deceived multiple doctors to get overlapping painkiller prescriptions. Limbaugh denied the charges but admitted he was addicted to painkillers.

This latest case may simply be dismissed if prosecutors can confirm with Limbaugh's doctor that the prescription was indeed for Limbaugh, said Kendall Coffey, a former U.S. attorney in Florida.

"It's perhaps a little embarrassing but not highly incriminating," Coffey said.

In addition, possession of Viagra is in a "completely different universe than a matter that would involve Schedule Two (controlled) substances such as OxyContin" Coffey added.

According to the Drug Enforcement Administration, Viagra is not considered a controlled substance because "it's not something you can be addicted to," said DEA Investigator Maria Gilbert.

The Food and Drug Administration oversees regulations concerning non-addictive drugs that are not considered controlled substances, Gilbert said. A telephone call to the FDA was not immediately returned Tuesday.

QuoteShiloh and Kingston Come Together for Playdate

Two of Hollywood's most celebrated babies - Kingston Rossdale and Shiloh Nouvel Jolie-Pitt - came together, along with their famous parents, for a baby playdate on Sunday. Gavin Rossdale and Gwen Stefani joined Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt at the couple's Santa Barbara, California retreat during the long fourth of July holiday weekend. The new mums were seen sporting matching baby slings and chatting, meanwhile, Pitt and Rossdale enjoyed a bit of jet skiing. Jolie and Pitt's son Maddox was seen hanging out with the boys, while the couple's 18-month old daughter Zahara, was spotted toddling about enjoying the sun. Security at the luxury compound was on high alert and the estate was heavily guarded by officers on dune buggies, patrol boats and rafts, as well as dogs posted around the properties perimeter.

I think this may be the start of a new trend amongst celebrities: paparazzi-baiting.  Just think of the combination of celebrities and situations that would most attract the photogs, and make it happen.  Whoever gets the most paparazzi wins a muffin-basket.

I already took "Britney Spears in hotdog-eating contest versus Ashlee Simpson (with nipple flash)" in the betting pool, so you guys have to think of your own.

I have ADD as well and voluntarily went off medication. Yes, reading is tough for me. I even have a hard time concentrating while watching a movie. I have to see a movie twice to get all the details my friends can easily pick up on a first viewing. I just don't have trouble with trying to do all those things. Plus my ambitions well out weigh those two goals of her.

Report: Drunken Jackie Chan disrupts show

Jackie Chan disrupted a concert by Taiwanese singer-songwriter Jonathan Lee and exchanged insults with the audience, a news report said Tuesday.

Ming Pao Daily News quoted the 52-year-old action star as saying onstage that he was drunk.

Chan suddenly jumped on the stage Monday night and demanded a duet with Lee. He then tried to conduct the band but stopped and restarted the music several times, the newspaper reported.

As the awkward interruption dragged on, audience members started to heckle Chan, who replied with an insult, according to the report.

A spokesman for Chan, Solon So, said he hadn't seen Chan since the alleged incident and had no immediate comment. He said he didn't attend the concert.

Concert organizers didn't immediately return a call seeking comment.

Chan, whose Hollywood credits include the "Rush Hour" series and "The Tuxedo," was an invited performing guest at Lee's show Sunday night.

Actor Daniel Baldwin Detained by LA Police

Actor Daniel Baldwin could face reckless driving charges after he drove a rented Ford Thunderbird at speeds of more than 80 mph through traffic and crashed into two parked cars, police said.

Baldwin was detained for questioning after the crash Wednesday and was examined at a hospital after complaining of back and neck pain, Officer Martha Garcia said Thursday.

"He was not arrested," she said. "He was detained for questioning, then afterward they determined they were going to file charges.

"It was a misdemeanor and not a felony. If it were a felony, he would be arrested."

An after-hours message left for Baldwin's attorney was not immediately returned.

Shortly before 1 p.m. Wednesday, police officers said they observed Baldwin's car traveling at more than 80 mph. The car weaved in and out of traffic and ran a red light before striking the two parked cars, including a Hummer that was pushed about 20 feet by the impact, authorities said.

Baldwin refused to cooperate with a police officer, who drew his gun to get the actor to comply, Officer Jason Lee said.

An unidentified woman in the car was not injured and went to the hospital with the actor, authorities said.

Baldwin, 45, was driving with a suspended license, said Lee, adding detectives planned to forward the case to the city attorney's office for misdemeanor charges.

Baldwin, brother of Alec, Stephen and William, has appeared in such films as "Car 54, Where Are You?" and "Attack of the 50-Foot Woman." He has also appeared in episodes of "NYPD Blue" and "Touched by an Angel."

In April, prosecutors declined to file felony charges against Baldwin after his arrest in a cocaine possession case. Police said they found the actor and another man in a Santa Monica hotel, along with cocaine and drug paraphernalia.

Robin Williams Seeks Help for Alcoholism

Robin Williams is seeking treatment for alcoholism, publicist Mara Buxbaum said Wednesday.

The 55-year-old comedian had been sober for 20 years, Buxbaum said.

Williams "found himself drinking again and has decided to take proactive measures to deal with this for his own well-being and the well-being of his family," she said in a statement. "He looks forward to returning to work this fall to support his upcoming film releases." 

Buxbaum declined to elaborate beyond the statement.

Williams stars in "Man of the Year," due in October, and voices an animated penguin in "Happy Feet," slated for release in November. His new film, "The Night Listener," is now in theaters.

Actor Lou Diamond Phillips arrested

LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - Actor Lou Diamond Phillips, who starred in the 1987 film "La Bamba," was jailed early on Friday on suspicion of domestic abuse against his live-in girlfriend, Los Angeles police said.

Officers responding to a domestic violence call in the Los Angeles suburb of Northridge took Phillips, 44, into custody, police spokeswoman Martha Garcia said. She said the actor was held on $50,000 bail.

"He was involved in a verbal argument with his live-in girlfriend which escalated to physical abuse," Garcia said. "He was arrested on suspicion of co-habitant abuse."

A spokesman for Phillips, best known for his role as teenage rock'n'roll pioneer Ritchie Valens in "La Bamba," said the performer had been released from custody.

"He was released on his own recognizance a little bit before noon," publicist Erik Bright said. "There have been no charges pressed and it was a misunderstanding."

Phillips was nominated for a Golden Globe award for his work in the 1988 film "Stand and Deliver" and has since had dozens of film and TV roles.

I guess this belongs in this thread...

I saw a truly horrifying ad for something called "Juiced" last night.  It's with OJ Simpson as he does some Punk'd-like stuff (except he says, "You've been JUICED!").  The quality of the commercial was exactly like those Girls Gone Wild commericials, and indeed this video is also packed with a lot of nudity for some reason, so lots of black censored bars, uh, bouncing around on screen.  The video was shot with a crappy DV cam and has a lot of that uncomfortably close feel that the Britney and Kevin show had.

All in all, I just couldn't believe what I was seeing for a moment, and felt a little ill afterward.  I'm not one to make moral judgements normally, but there was definitely something very wrong with this.  One segment that made a few news shows involved him trying to sell his white Ford Bronco.

It is being sold by the same people who sell the Girls Gone Wild type videos.  The website for the video is www.getjuiced.com if you're interested.  And here's the cover...

Shocking! Willie Nelson Busted for Pot

This just in: Willie Nelson likes his herb.

The country outlaw is back on the road again after a pot-powered pit stop early Monday. Nelson and several bandmates received misdemeanor citations for marijuana possession after their tour bus was pulled over in St. Martin Parish, Louisiana. The bust came just two days after Nelson called for the decriminalization of marijuana while stumping for Texas gubernatorial candidate Kinky Friedman.

According to Willie Williams of the Louisiana Highway Patrol, Nelson and crew were traveling along Highway 10 when they were stopped for a routine commercial inspection. Officers on the scene caught a whiff of something suspicious emanating from the vehicle as soon as the driver opened the door. And BioWillie be damned, a search of the bus turned up about one and a half pounds of marijuana, along with a small bag of psychedelic mushrooms estimated at two-tenths of a pound.

"No one aboard the bus gave any of our troopers any problems," Williams told E! Online. "When the search was conducted, they were very cordial and...subsequently admitted to being the owners of the narcotics."

Williams stressed that the group did not receive any preferential treatment from troopers. Nelson and his band members were not arrested, Williams said, because the St. Martin Parish jail was "filled to capacity." It will be up to the county district attorney to decide whether the musicians will be called to court.

Aside from the 73-year-old ringleader, citations were issued to his sister, Bobbie Nelson, 75, of Briarcliff, Texas; Gates Moore, 54, from Austin; David Anderson, 50, of Dallas; and Tony Sizemore, 59, of St. Cloud, Florida.

If convicted, they could each face up to six months in jail--but probation and/or fines are more likely sentences.

Nelson's publicist, Elaine Shock, declined to comment.

Before the bust, the Farm Aid founder and his band were in his native Texas to headline Saturday's Austin City Limits Music Festival. Nelson gave an interview there in which he urged politicians to scrap criminal penalties for pot possession.

Those sentiments echoed the platform of his pal Friedman, a singer-songwriter turned politician who's mounting an independent bid for Texas governor and has called on the decriminalization of marijuana to help clear clogged state prisons of nonviolent offenders. Nelson has actively supported Friedman's candidacy, hosting a $1,000-per-plate fundraising dinner and signing a petition to get Friedman on the ballot.

"The hundred times that Kinky and I have talked during his campaign--we talked about energy, health, biodiesel, immigration, war--and the pot thing has never come up. Of course, I felt always that I knew where Kinky stood on that, and he knew where I stood, but I also knew that it was very risky to bring that out politically, but what?s Kinky got to lose?" Nelson said.

Aside from fighting for his right to toke, Nelson has been pushing for greener fuel (and has opened a chain of BioWillie diesel stations) and petitioning Congress to pass a bill banning the industrial slaughter of wild horses to sell as meat to consumers abroad.

Screech Sex Tape Preview
Posted Sep 27th 2006 6:16PM by TMZ Staff

TMZ has obtained portions of the latest celebrity sex tape, featuring former "Saved by the Bell" star Dustin Diamond, who played Screech. To say the least, the video is unique and, dare we say, entertaining.

David Hans Schmidt, who has become famous in the sex tape industry by peddling videos featuring Paris Hilton, Colin Farrell and others, claims ownership to the Screech tape. It was shot in a hotel. Diamond is holding the camera and narrating, as he engages two women in various combinations and positions.

The tape begins with Diamond in a bathtub, narrating what's to come. It ends with Diamond introducing one of the women to a "Dirty Sanchez." Suffice it say, it is unbelievably graphic.

Schmidt is out shopping the tape and we're told it has been generating significant interest. What's unusual, we're told, is that some mainstream media companies are interesting in purchasing the rights.

George Michael Arrested on Drug Charges

LONDON -- George Michael was arrested on suspicion of possessing marijuana after police found him slumped over the steering wheel of his car in London, authorities said Monday.

Michael was arrested after police responded to complaints that a car was blocking an intersection in North London at 3:22 a.m. Sunday. He received a caution for possession of cannabis and was released on bail on a charge of being unfit to drive. He has a November court date.

Just a week earlier, Michael gave his first solo concert in 15 years. The Spain show kicked off his new tour, "25 Live," which is scheduled for 28 European cities this fall.

Michael rose to fame in the 1980s as half of the duo Wham! before starting his solo career.

Police had earlier warned Michael for possession of cannabis in February.

In April, he hit three parked cars. He later acknowledged in an interview that he was a "terrible driver" and said he was trying to maneuver out of a parking spot.

Tara Reid undergoes surgery to reverse bikini "nightmare"

Actress Tara Reid, whose botched breast surgery made her a Hollywood laughingstock two years ago, underwent additional surgery to repair the damage, according to a report in Us Weekly.

In an interview released on Wednesday, the "American Pie" actress told the magazine she had surgery last month to reduce the scarring on her breasts and to even out her stomach after cosmetic surgery in 2004.

Reid unwittingly exposed the disastrous results when she posed for pictures at a November 2004 party and her dress strap fell down. 

"I was on Web sites as having the ugliest boob job in the world. I was devastated," Reid, 30, told the magazine.

Reid said the surgery hurt her professionally and personally.

"Guys I was dating would be like, 'What's wrong with them? They look really bad. You know, you should really get them fixed.' So embarrassing, I mean, you definitely had to turn off the lights. And then there was my stomach."

Reid said she had liposuction on her stomach at the same time because she wanted "a six pack."

"But it went all wrong. My stomach became the most ripply, bulgy thing."

She told Us Weekly it took her two years to regain her confidence and trust another cosmetic surgeon to sort out the problems.

"I couldn't wear a bikini. I lost a lot of work. I lost my confidence," she said. "This was a nightmare I lived through."

Sienna Miller apologizes to Pittsburgh

Sienna Miller, who disparaged Pittsburgh in a magazine interview, apologized on Friday, saying her remarks were taken out of context and that she found the city and residents gracious.

The 24-year-old British actress, in town shooting the screen adaptation of Michael Chabon's novel "The Mysteries of Pittsburgh," called the city a name that sounds like Pittsburgh, but contains an expletive. Her comments appear in the latest edition of Rolling Stone, which hit newsstands Friday.

Miller, who starred in "Layer Cake," "Casanova" and the remake of "Alfie," told Rolling Stone, "Can you believe this is my life? Will you pity me when you're back in your funky New York apartment and I'm still in Pittsburgh? I need to get more glamorous films and stop with my indie year."

Her remarks touched a nerve here, where residents are fiercely loyal to their hometown. Miller's comments appeared in the city's two major daily newspapers and a television news anchor offered to take Miller around town to show her the sights.

"I think obviously we have a great town, and I disagree with her comments," Mayor Luke Ravenstahl said, adding she should see the town.

"I'm sure in her short experience here she hasn't had the opportunity to do that," he said. "If she would have, I think she would have found that Pittsburgh is a great place to live."

On Friday, Miller apologized in a statement issued by her publicist, saying she was referring to the fact that the production was shooting mostly at night and she had not had a chance to fully explore the city.

"What I have seen of it is beautiful. I came once before to visit The Andy Warhol Museum whilst researching a film and found both the city and its inhabitants warm and gracious," she said.

She said her father, who is from Meadville, about 85 miles north of Pittsburgh, planned to show her around the city this weekend.

Forbes magazine routinely lists Pittsburgh as one of the worst cities for singles. But Pittsburgh's residents do not take kindly to disparaging remarks about their town and often react angrily.

In 2003, the nationally syndicated cartoon "Get Fuzzy" lampooned Pittsburgh as a tourist destination; Bucky Katt asks a travel agent if she has "any packaged trips based primarily on smell" and she gives him information on Pittsburgh. The strip's creator, Darby Conley, said he received 300 to 400 e-mails, including death threats and hate mail.

Earlier this year, Pittsburghers didn't take kindly when Rocky Mountain News columnist Bill Johnson called the city "butt-ugly" in the run-up to the Super Bowl, which the Steelers won.

The very fact that the residents of Pittsburgh fly off the handle so quickly when people talk shit about them just shows how true the shit must be.  It's just like Borat and Kazhakstan.  If Kazhakstan was really the idyllic tourist destination they're trying to claim it is, one little movie making fun of them wouldn't matter.  Not that Kazhakstanis all live with chickens and have sex with their sisters, but I'm still not going to be honeymooning there.

And she's talking about Pittsburgh, for god's sake!  The canker sore on the inner lip of America.  Getting pissed at someone for saying Pittsburgh is shitty is like getting pissed at someone for saying puppies are adorable.

Wesley Snipes Accused of Tax Fraud

Actor Wesley Snipes was indicted Tuesday on eight counts of tax fraud, accused of trying to cheat the government out of nearly $12 million in false refund claims and not filing returns for six years.

Prosecutors said Snipes fraudulently claimed refunds totaling nearly $12 million in 1996 and 1997 on income taxes already paid. The star of the "Blade" trilogy and other films including "Jungle Fever" and "White Men Can't Jump" was also charged with failure to file returns from 1999 through 2004.

According to the indictment, Snipes had his taxes prepared by accountants with a history of filing false returns to reap payments for their clients. The firm American Rights Litigators would receive 20 percent of refunds from clients, according to the indictment.

"It's a conspiracy against the IRS, basically to harass the IRS, from doing its lawful job in term of collection of taxes," U.S. Attorney Paul I. Perez said at a news conference.

If convicted of all the charges, Snipes could face 16 years in prison five years each on two conspiracy counts and one year each on six counts of failure to file income tax returns.

Snipes, 44, who had a home in Windermere near Orlando, has not been arrested because authorities don't know where he is, Perez said. Snipes' manager and attorney did not return phone messages from The Associated Press.

"We've spoken to his former attorneys over the weekend," Perez said. "We presume that he knows, and of course after this press conference he will definitely know."

The indictment said Snipes conspired with American Rights Litigators' founder Eddie Ray Kahn and tax preparer Douglas P. Rosile Sr. to file false refund claims based on a bogus argument that only income from foreign sources was subject to taxation.

That included a claim for a $7.3 million refund for 1997, in which an amended tax return reported Snipes' adjusted income as zero.

The Justice Department sued Rosile in 2002 for allegedly filing bogus tax refund claims totaling more than $36 million on behalf of clients in 32 states. The suit is still pending.

Snipes was not named as a defendant in that case, but the lawsuit said the preparer's largest claim was an amended income tax return filed on behalf of the actor and dated April 14, 2001.

Rosile is in custody in Ocala, Perez said, and the third defendant named in the indictment, Kahn, is believed to be out of the country.

A call to an attorney who is representing Rosile in the 2002 lawsuit was not returned. It wasn't clear if he had any other legal representation. Federal court records indicate that he filed for bankruptcy on June 29.

Perez said the IRS considers the tax preparation business founded by Kahn as a "tax protest organization."

Hollywood couple Witherspoon, Phillippe split

Oscar winner Reese Witherspoon and "Flags of Our Fathers" star Ryan Phillippe are separating after more than seven years of marriage, their representatives said on Monday.

"We are saddened to announce that Reese and Ryan have decided to formally separate," their publicists said in a joint statement. "They remain committed to their family and we ask that you please respect their privacy and the safety of their children at this time."

Witherspoon, 30, and Phillippe, 32, reportedly met at her 21st birthday party before working together on the 1999 film "Cruel Intentions." They married in June of that year and have two children, 7-year-old daughter Ava and 3-year-old son Deacon.

The publicists gave no additional details about the split but the celebrity Web site TMZ.com, which broke the story, reported that Witherspoon has contacted the divorce lawyer who represented Jennifer Aniston and Lisa Marie Presley.

TMZ quoted one unidentified source as saying the breakup was not triggered by any single event but rather by "cumulative" circumstances.

Witherspoon established herself as a major box-office draw as star of the 2001 comedy "Legally Blonde" and scored a follow-up hit with "Sweet Home Alabama."

She went on to win a best-actress Oscar earlier this year for her role as Johnny Cash's country-singing sweetheart June Carter in "Walk the Line."

Phillippe is currently starring in Clint Eastwood's latest film "Flags of Our Fathers" as Navy Corpsman John "Doc" Bradley, one of the U.S. servicemen who raised the Stars and Stripes on Iwo Jima's Mount Suribachi during World War Two.

Rapper tantrums over video award
From the Associated Press

Rap star Kanye West was named best hip-hop artist but still came off as a sore loser at the MTV Europe Music Awards.

West apparently was so disappointed at not winning for best video that he crashed the stage Thursday in Copenhagen when the award was being presented to Justice and Simian for "We Are Your Friends." 

In a tirade riddled with expletives, West said he should have won the prize for his video "Touch the Sky" because it "cost a million dollars, Pamela Anderson was in it. I was jumping across canyons."

"If I don't win, the awards show loses credibility," West said.

Faith Hill says CMA freakout was a joke

Faith Hill insists she's no Kanye West. The country music superstar says she was just joking when cameras showed her screaming "WHAT?" in apparent anger when she lost the female vocalist of the year award to newcomer Carrie Underwood at the Country Music Association Awards on Monday night in Nashville.

"The idea that I would act disrespectful towards a fellow musician is unimaginable to me," Hill said in a statement. "For this to become a focus of attention given the talent gathered is utterly ridiculous. Carrie is a talented and deserving Female Vocalist of The Year."

Media outlets and blogs zeroed in on Hill's reaction after Underwood's name was announced at the ceremony. While other nominees — Sara Evans, Gretchen Wilson, Martina McBride — gave the typical gracious loser smile, Hill, who was standing backstage, turned to the camera and shouted "WHAT?"

Although her voice could not be heard, it was clear from her lips what she said. She looked visibly upset and then it looked as if she was storming off. The incident has been replayed endlessly on sites like YouTube.com.

However, Hill said it was all a joke, and her manager, Gary Borman, echoed that: "I've worked with Faith for many years now and the idea that she would ever insult or undermine another artist, let alone another human being's success is absolutely preposterous. Those who know her know that she's incapable of such actions," he said in a statement.

"She was being playful while the nominations were being read and playful after."

Underwood also didn't take it seriously, according to her publicist, Jessie Schmidt, who said that Hill spoke to Underwood after the show and that the two were fine.

Underwood, the 2005 "American Idol" champ, has become a triple platinum success since releasing her debut album late last year. Hill is a longtime darling of country music with crossover pop appeal.

This is the second time in less than a week that an awards show loss has resulted in an (apparent) on-camera freakout by a loser. Last week, Kanye West stormed the stage at the MTV Europe Music Awards and interrupted the speech of the winners, claiming his video deserved the honor.

Daniel Baldwin Arrested in Santa Monica

Daniel Baldwin has been arrested on suspicion of stealing a sport utility vehicle.

Baldwin was stopped Wednesday by officers in Santa Monica who saw him in a white GMC Yukon reported stolen in neighboring Orange County, authorities said.

The actor was taken to jail and booked for investigation of grand theft auto. Bail was set at $20,000.

"The car belongs to an acquaintance of Mr. Baldwin, but he had no permission to take it," said Jim Amormino, a spokesman for the Orange County sheriff's department.

An after-hours call to Baldwin's attorney was not immediately returned.

The 46-year-old actor made news in July when he drove a rented car at more than 80 mph through Los Angeles traffic and crashed into two parked vehicles. In April, he was arrested for investigation of cocaine possession, although prosecutors declined to file felony charges.

Baldwin, brother of actors Alec, Stephen and William, has appeared in the television series "Homicide: Life on the Street" and the movie "Car 54, Where Are You?"

O.J. Simpson to Discuss Killings

Fox plans to broadcast an interview with O.J. Simpson in which the former football star discusses "how he would have committed" the slayings of his ex-wife and her friend, for which he was acquitted, the network said.

The two-part interview, titled "O.J. Simpson: If I Did It, Here's How It Happened," will air Nov. 27 and Nov. 29, the TV network said.

Simpson has agreed to an "unrestricted" interview with book publisher Judith Regan, Fox said.

"O.J. Simpson, in his own words, tells for the first time how he would have committed the murders if he were the one responsible for the crimes," the network said in a statement. "In the two-part event, Simpson describes how he would have carried out the murders he has vehemently denied committing for over a decade."

The interview will air days before Simpson's new book, "If I Did It," goes on sale Nov. 30. The book, published by Regan, "hypothetically describes how the murders would have been committed."

In a video clip on the network's Web site, an off-screen interviewer says to Simpson, "You wrote 'I have never seen so much blood in my life.'"

"I don't think any two people could be murdered without everybody being covered in blood," Simpson responds.

Simpson, who now lives in Florida, was acquitted in a criminal trial of the 1994 killings of his ex-wife, Nicole Brown Simpson, and her friend Ronald Goldman. Simpson was later found liable in 1997 in a wrongful death lawsuit filed by the Goldman family.

Messages left with Simpson and his attorney Yale Galanter were not immediately returned.

O.J. Simpson Book, TV Special Canceled

After a firestorm of criticism, News. Corp. said Monday that it has canceled the O.J. Simpson book and TV special "If I Did It."

"I and senior management agree with the American public that this was an ill-considered project," said Rupert Murdoch, News Corp. chairman. "We are sorry for any pain that this has caused the families of Ron Goldman and Nicole Brown Simpson."

A dozen Fox affiliates had already said they would not air the two-part sweeps month special, planned for next week before the Nov. 30 publication of the book by ReganBooks. The publishing house is a HarperCollins imprint owned like the Fox network by News Corp.

In both the book and show, Simpson speaks in hypothetical terms about how he would have committed the 1994 slayings of his ex-wife Nicole and her friend Goldman.

Relatives of the victims have lashed out at the now scuttled publication and broadcast plans.

"He destroyed my son and took from my family Ron's future and life. And for that I'll hate him always and find him despicable," Fred Goldman told ABC last week.

The industry trade publication Broadcasting & Cable editorialized against the show Monday, saying "Fox should cancel this evil sweeps stunt."

One of the nation's largest superstore chains, Borders Group Inc., said last week it would donate any profits on the book to charity.

Simpson was acquitted in 1995 of murder in a case that became its own TV drama. The former football star and announcer was later found liable for the deaths in a wrongful death lawsuit filed by the Goldman family.

Judith Regan, publisher of "If I Did It," said she considered the book to be Simpson's confession.

The television special was to air on two of the final three nights of the November sweeps, when ratings are watched closely to set local advertising rates. It has been a particularly tough fall for Fox, which has seen none of its new shows catch on and is waiting for the January bows of "American Idol" and "24."

The closest precedent for such an about-face came when CBS yanked a miniseries about Ronald Reagan from its schedule in 2003 when complaints were raised about its accuracy. The Reagan series was seen on its sister premium-cable channel, Showtime, instead.

One station manager who had said he wasn't airing the special said he was concerned that whether or not Simpson was guilty, he'd still be profiting from murders.

"I have my own moral compass and this was easy," said Bill Lamb, general manager of WDRB in Louisville.

For the publishing industry, the cancellation of "If I Did It" was an astonishing end to a story like no other. Numerous books have been withdrawn over the years because of possible plagiarism, most recently Kaavya Viswanathan's "How Opal Mehta Got Kissed, Got Wild, and Got a Life," but a book's removal simply for objectionable content is virtually unheard of.

Sales had been strong, but not sensational. "If I Did It" cracked the top 20 of Amazon.com last weekend, but by Monday afternoon, at the time its cancellation had been announced, the book had fallen to No. 51.

Stop crying your heart out, Oasis singer tells British troops in Iraq

Noel Gallagher of the British rock band Oasis has told soldiers fighting in Iraq to stop complaining when they get wounded.

The chief songwriter and lead guitarist said Tuesday troops loved getting involved in war-zone action until they get hurt.

In a wide-ranging rant, the fired-up 39-year-old also turned his guns on British Prime Minister Tony Blair, environmentalists, Elton John, his brother Liam -- the lead singer in the band -- and predicted his own daughter would become a "mental, axe-wielding, cyber-punk lunatic".

"Blair made an almighty cock-up going to war in Iraq," Gallagher told The Sun newspaper.

"You get a million people walking through Hyde Park -- 'don't send the troops' and all that.

"The troops want to go, all they want to do is fight! They're soldiers. They're loving it, until they get shot -- then they're claiming compensation.

"If you're bothered about getting shot -- here's a thing -- don't join the army."

The seething rocker, whose hits include "Don't Look Back in Anger" and "Stop Crying Your Heart Out", blasted celebrities who "lock themselves off from humanity".

"If I run out of milk, I go to the supermarket and I queue up like everybody else. Can you imagine Elton John queuing up to buy milk?," he asked.

"These stars like Robbie Williams and Elton and all the rest of that lot -- what are they afraid of? Are they afraid somebody might actually say hello to them?"

He also slammed the growing environmentally-conscious fad sweeping Britain, insisting green campaigners were "hippies with no place in the world".

"How do you suggest we get millions of Chinese not to have a fridge? Or get millions of Americans to stop using their big, stupid cars?".

The surly Gallagher brothers are famed for their bitter sibling rivalry, and Noel put the boot into Liam once again, saying he had a "split personality".

"The problem with our relationship is that he doesn't like me. I can accept that," he said.

"I don't actively go out of my way to antagonise him. He does actively go out of his way to antagonise me.

"It's very difficult to deal with someone who thinks he's the centre of the universe one minute and and the next minute everybody's out to get him."

Oasis burst onto the music scene in 1994 with their debut album "Definitely Maybe". The follow-up, "(What's the Story) Morning Glory?", became Britain's third biggest selling album of all-time.

"Stop The Clocks", their greatest hits album containing 18 tunes, was released Monday.

'30 Rock' star charged with DWI
By SAMUEL MAULL, Associated Press Writer

NEW YORK - Tracy Morgan, a former "Saturday Night Live" regular who co-stars on NBC's "30 Rock," was arrested Tuesday in Upper Manhattan on drunken driving charges, the district attorney's office said.

The 38-year-old comedian was stopped around 4:30 a.m. while driving a Cadillac Escalade on the Henry Hudson Parkway near West 158th Street, said Edison Alban, a spokesman for District Attorney Robert Morgenthau.

Police reported that Morgan smelled of alcohol and that he later failed a breathalyzer test at the 28th Precinct station house, Alban said.

Alban didn't yet know the name of Morgan's attorney.

Morgan's publicist in Los Angeles didn't immediately return a call seeking comment.

Alban said Morgan was to be arraigned later in Manhattan's state Supreme Court on charges of driving while intoxicated and driving while impaired.

Last Dec. 2, Morgan was arrested in Hollywood, Calif., on impaired driving charges after police stopped him for speeding. Authorities there said his blood-alcohol level was 0.13 percent, over the legal limit of 0.08 percent.

On Feb. 17, he pleaded no contest to a misdemeanor charge of drunken driving. He was sentenced to 36 months' probation, fined $390 and ordered to attend an alcohol education program, authorities said.

Morgan was a "Saturday Night Live" cast member from 1996 to 2003. He left the show to star in the short-lived "The Tracy Morgan Show."

Thursday 'View' kind to drunken DeVito

The ladies of "The View" are laughing off Danny DeVito's loopy behavior during his appearance on the daytime talk show.

"Danny DeVito is not an alcoholic," co-host Rosie O'Donnell said Thursday. "He's just a guy who had one too many drinks with his friend."

On Wednesday's show, the 62-year-old actor admitted he'd had a late night out with George Clooney and said, "I knew it was the last seven limoncellos that was going to get me."

When asked if he had been to sleep, DeVito replied, "I don't know."

DeVito, who was promoting his new Christmas comedy, "Deck the Halls," slurred his speech slightly and told a long-winded story about spending an amorous night in the White House's Lincoln bedroom — circa the Clinton era — with his wife, the actress Rhea Perlman.

"We went in and made it our business to really wreck the joint," he said.

His words were bleeped out after apparently using some bad language when joking about President Bush, who he'd imitated as a monkey and one of the Three Stooges. He later sat on O'Donnell's lap, and she kissed him on the cheek.

Co-host Joy Behar said Thursday on the show that DeVito was "drunk as a skunk."

"But he was a fun drunk," chimed in co-host Elisabeth Hasselbeck.

Barbara Walters noted that she had gotten a message later to call him. It wasn't clear whether they connected or he had apologized.

DeVito's spokesman, Stan Rosenfield, told The Associated Press that he would wait to comment about DeVito's appearance on the show after getting in touch with the actor on Thursday.

Rip Torn Arrested Outside NYC for DUI

Rip Torn, who was acquitted of drunken-driving charges two years ago in New York City, was arrested again Monday in a city suburb after a collision, state police said.

No one was hurt in the crash in North Salem, Trooper Edward Gillespie said. The 75-year-old character actor refused a sobriety test and would be arraigned on a charge of driving while intoxicated, Gillespie said.

Torn's publicist, Dick Guttman, said from Los Angeles that he had not heard from Torn and could not comment.

Torn, a Texas native, has movie, television and stage credits dating to 1956. He has been in such recent movies as "Marie Antoinette" and "Dodgeball" and had big hits with the "Men in Black" movies. He won an Emmy Award in 1996 for playing the hard-drinking producer on TV's "The Larry Sanders Show."

In 2004, Torn was acquitted when jurors said the prosecution failed to prove that he was drinking before his fender-bender with a taxi. A police videotape showed Torn cursing and berating officers before turning down a sobriety test, but his lawyer said that was due to anger, not drinking.

When he was acquitted, he shook the hands of the male jurors, kissed the hands of the female jurors and said, "I love New York."

Nicole Richie arrested for DUI in L.A.

Nicole Richie was arrested early Monday for investigation of driving under the influence after her car was reported headed the wrong way on a freeway.

Richie, 25, star of "The Simple Life" reality series and daughter of pop singer Lionel Richie, was arrested without incident at 1:45 a.m. (PST) after she failed a field sobriety test given by California Highway Patrol officers, CHP Officer Todd Workman said.

Richie's 2005 black Mercedes-Benz sport utility vehicle was stopped in the car pool lane of State Highway 134 in Burbank.

Other motorists had placed 911 emergency calls around 12:30 a.m. (PST) about a car headed against traffic on the freeway, Workman said. Descriptions of the vehicle matched Richie's. When officers arrived, they found her car facing the right direction.

Richie was placed in the passenger seat of her car, which was found to be operable, and an officer drove the car off the freeway.

"She volunteered the information that she had smoked marijuana and taken Vicodin," the prescription painkiller, Workman said. No drugs were found on her or in the car.

Richie was booked in Glendale for investigation of driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs, tested for drugs and released later Monday morning, Workman said. The results of the test haven't been determined, he said.

Bail was set at $15,000, but Richie was released on her own recognizance, Glendale police Agent John Balian said. A Feb. 7 arraignment in Glendale Superior Court was scheduled.

Nicole Perna, a publicist for Richie, replied to an e-mail requesting comment, saying that there would be none.

Richie told officers she weighed 85 pounds and was 5-foot-1, Workman said. Her driver's license listed her weight as 100 pounds.

In an interview earlier this year with Vanity Fair magazine, Richie acknowledged that she is "too thin" and was receiving treatment to gain weight.

The drivers who placed the 911 calls are potential witnesses about whether Richie was driving the wrong way, and authorities were trying to contact them, Workman said. Richie could face an additional charge depending on the information obtained, he said.

Misdemeanor arrests by the CHP in Burbank are routinely handled by Glendale police and courts, Workman said.

Burbank is 10 miles northeast of downtown Los Angeles.

Richie is best known for starring with sometime-friend Paris Hilton in "The Simple Life."

Hilton faces her own legal troubles: She was charged with misdemeanor drunken driving after her Sept. 7 arrest in Hollywood. Her arraignment is set for Dec. 20.

Big fine for underage 'Girls Gone Wild'
By MELISSA NELSON, Associated Press WriterWed Dec 13, 5:51 PM ET

The "Girls Gone Wild" video empire agreed to pay $1.6 million and its founder was sentenced to community service Wednesday for filming drunken, underage girls in the raunchy videos.

Mantra Films Inc. pleaded guilty in a case that stemmed from its use of two 17-year-olds in its DVDs and videos, which feature young women baring their breasts in public. The videos at issue were filmed on Panama City Beach during spring break in 2003.

U.S. District Judge Richard Smoak ordered Mantra's multimillionaire founder, Joe Francis, to read aloud in court a victim impact statement from one of the women, who said she was emotionally tormented by her appearance on a "Girls Gone Wild" video and that the video damaged her relationship with her family.

Smoak told Francis he added the community service because it did not appear a fine would be a meaningful punishment.

The fine represents less than 3 percent of Mantra's profits since 2002 and only 12 percent of Mantra's 2005 profits, Smoak said.

"It does not take a very brave man to go out and corner a girl in the middle of spring break who had four drinks," Smoak told Francis.

Francis, 33, said his policy has always been not to film girls under 18 and that the two filmed in Panama City lied about their ages. He later left court without speaking to reporters.

According to court papers, Mantra Films, based in Santa Monica, Calif., admitted violating record-keeping and labeling laws while distributing videos during all of 2002 and part of 2003.

The judge ordered Francis, his company president, general counsel and chief financial officer to each perform eight hours of community service monthly for the next 30 months. But Smoak said the corporate officers could avoid the obligation, giving Francis the option of "stepping up" and serving 16 hours a month of community service by himself in their place.

Attorney Aaron Dyer, representing Francis and the company, said he did not know if Francis would take on the entire sentence himself.

Smoak ordered the company to issue a press release about its federal offenses and to publish the release in the Los Angeles Times, The Wall Street Journal, The New York Times, USA Today and The News Herald of Panama City.

Francis also faces a Jan. 22 sentencing hearing in federal court in Los Angeles on similar charges in which he has agreed to pay $500,000 in fines.

Also pending against Francis are state felony charges in which he is accused of using children in sexual performances. Those counts stem from the same 2003 filming at the heart of Wednesday's pleas.

There's a chunk of text missing from the middle of that article:

"Immediately after the ruling, Francis took out his wallet and paid the entire $1.6 million to the judge in cash.  He then tipped the bailiff an additional $750,000 and was helicoptered to his solid gold home, where he spent the rest of the day nailing seventeen-year-old girls on a bed of money, despite looking like Brendan Fraser's retarded half-brother."

Former boxer Tyson arrested on DUI, cocaine charges

Former heavyweight boxing champion Mike Tyson was charged with driving under the influence of drugs and possession of cocaine in Arizona, police said on Friday.

Sgt. Larry Hall of the Buckeye Police Department said Tyson was arrested early Friday morning in Scottsdale, 10 miles east of Phoenix, Arizona, after he nearly struck another vehicle as he left the driveway of a private home.

"The vehicle he almost struck was actually a sheriff's vehicle," Hall said. "He's been charged with DUI drugs and possession of a controlled substance, cocaine. It was found on him and in his car."

Tyson was being held in a Phoenix jail and is due to appear in court on Friday, police said.

"He will probably see the judge later this morning and either be released or post bond," Hall said.

The 40-year-old boxer known as "Iron Mike" became Heavyweight Champion of the World when he was 21, but was later banned from fighting for a year and fined $2.85 million after he bit off part of an opponent's ear during a match in 1997.

"(Tyson) was actually very cooperative, very calm, and just acted like a complete gentleman," Hall said.

The police officer who arrested Tyson was from Buckeye, 35 miles west of Phoenix, and had been working in Scottsdale on a DUI task force, Hall said.

Tyson, who has a long history of legal troubles, was convicted in 1992 for the rape of a beauty pageant queen in an Indianapolis hotel room.

He was sentenced to six years in prison and released in 1995 after serving three years.

Tyson retired from boxing last year after losing to journeyman Kevin McBride in Washington, D.C. A native of Brooklyn, N.Y., Tyson left the ring with a 50-6 record with 44 knockouts.

Brandy involved in Los Angeles crash

Actress and R&B singer Brandy was involved in a fatal, four-car accident on a Los Angeles freeway last month that started when her sports utility vehicle hit another car, police said on Wednesday.

The 27-year-old former star of the TV comedy "Moesha" was not injured, but the driver of the car she rear-ended with her Land Rover in the December 30 crash died, according to the California Highway Patrol.

The victim was identified as Awatef Aboudihaj, 38, a married mother of one, said CHP spokesman Leland Tang.

No charges or arrests have been made in connection with the accident, and no formal determination has been made as to what caused the crash, which was first reported by the celebrity news Web site TMZ.com.

A statement issued by Brandy's publicist said: "She wishes to publicly express her condolences to the family of the deceased" and asks the media to "respect the privacy of everyone involved at this time."

The singer-actress, whose full name is Brandy Norwood, was alone in her vehicle and no alcohol or drugs were involved, Tang said.

Brandy told officers she was driving at about 65 miles per hour before the crash occurred.

"We've impounded all four vehicles, and the outcome of the mechanical inspection is coming to us today or tomorrow," Tang said. "Barring any mechanical difficulties on Brandy's part ... then there's the very high probability that she is the party most at fault or the contributing party."

Brandy, a native of Mississippi, burst on the recording scene with her self-tilted debut album in 1994, launching such hits as "I Wanna Be Down," "Baby" and "Brokenhearted." Her fourth album, "Afrodisiac," was released in 2004 with a lead single, "Talk About Our Love," produced by Kanye West.

Last year, she served on the panel of judges for NBC's summer show "America's Got Talent."

Ryan O'Neal Accused of Assaulting Son

Oscar-nominated actor Ryan O'Neal was arrested for investigation of assaulting his adult son at the actor's Malibu home over the weekend, officials said.

Deputies and paramedics were called to O'Neal's Malibu residence at 12:30 a.m. Saturday "regarding a battery that had occurred," said Los Angeles County sheriff's Lt. John Benedict.

"Deputies determined ... Griffin O'Neal, his son, had been assaulted by his father," Benedict said.

The elder O'Neal, 65, was arrested and accused of assault with a deadly weapon and negligent discharge of a firearm. He was released on a $50,000 bond.

It was unclear what started the dispute, but O'Neal's manager, Neil Hassman, claimed the actor was defending himself after his son began "wildly swinging a fireplace poker." Griffin O'Neal's pregnant girlfriend was slightly injured in the incident, and was treated at a hospital and released, Hassman said. He maintained that her injuries were caused by the younger O'Neal.

"It is unfortunate that what should have been an internal family disagreement was escalated to the point that Ryan felt he had to defend himself from Griffin's aggressive, extremely menacing physical behavior," Hassman said in a statement to "The Insider"

Griffin O'Neal could not be reached for comment; there was no listing for his phone number.

The twice-divorced Ryan O'Neal went from a TV soap opera to an Oscar-nominated role in "Love Story." He also appeared in films including "Paper Moon," "Barry Lyndon," "Green Ice" and "Zero Effect."

O'Neal had two children with his first wife, Joanna Moore: actor Griffin O'Neal and actress Tatum O'Neal, his co-star in the 1973 movie "Paper Moon," for which she won an Oscar for best supporting actress. He was romantically involved with Farrah Fawcett for years; they never married but had one son, Redmond.

Griffin O'Neal, 42, was given an 18-day jail sentence for not performing 400 hours of community service ordered by the judge who found him guilty of reckless boating in the 1986 accident that killed Gian-Carlo Coppola, the son of director Francis Ford Coppola.

Griffin O'Neal also pleaded no contest to a drunken driving charge in 1989 and was sentenced to probation. In 1992, he pleaded no contest to charges he shot at his estranged girlfriend's unoccupied car. At the time, he agreed to spend a year in a live-in drug rehabilitation program and serve five years on probation.

Omar Sharif sentenced to anger management in hitting of valet
The actor must also serve two years' probation.

Actor Omar Sharif was ordered Tuesday to attend anger management classes and serve two years' probation after pleading no contest to hitting a Beverly Hills parking valet.

The plea to a single misdemeanor battery charge was entered by Sharif's attorney, Harland W. Braun, because Sharif was in Egypt.

Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Richard Stone also ordered Sharif to pay a $100 fine.

Sharif, best known for his roles in the 1960s films "Dr. Zhivago" and "Lawrence of Arabia," struck valet Juan Anderson outside Mastro's Steakhouse on Cañon Drive on June 12, 2005.

Anderson said Sharif, 74, became upset when his Porsche sport utility vehicle was not waiting for him. His lawsuit alleged that Sharif struck him in the face.

Braun said Anderson became upset when Sharif offered to tip him with European currency.

Sharif lives in Egypt and France, Braun said, and visits Los Angeles less often than once a year. Braun had requested that Sharif testify by satellite, but the prosecutor opposed the request, which was rejected by the judge.

Braun said Sharif "would rather have tried the case, but it was impractical to fly in round-trip to testify." The 15 mandatory counseling sessions Sharif will undergo would take less time than the trip to Los Angeles, Braun said.

A district attorney spokeswoman, Jane Robison, said Sharif's sentence was "an appropriate resolution to this case."

Ray Liotta Arrested, Charged With DUI

LOS ANGELES -- Actor Ray Liotta was arrested on suspicion of driving under the influence after crashing his car into two parked vehicles in Pacific Palisades, authorities said.

Liotta, 52, was taken into custody just before 8:30 p.m. Saturday and booked on a misdemeanor DUI charge, said Los Angeles Police spokesman Mike Lopez.

He was released after posting $15,000 bail and ordered to appear in court next month, Lopez said.

No one was injured in the collision. Liotta was alone in his car, Lopez said.

A message left at the office of Liotta's publicist Matt Labov was not immediately returned.

Liotta stars with Tim Allen and John Travolta in the buddy comedy "Wild Hogs," set for release March 2. He is best known for playing gangster Henry Hill in the 1990 movie "Goodfellas."

Hugh Grant arrested over "baked beans attack"

Hugh Grant has been arrested and questioned by police after a photographer accused the actor of attacking him with a tub of baked beans.

Photographer Ian Whittaker told the Daily Star tabloid that he and Grant, 46, clashed near the home of the "Four Weddings and a Funeral" star.

Whittaker said Grant abused and kicked him on Tuesday before lobbing the beans. The paper printed photos of Grant with a plastic tub of food raised over his head.

Grant's lawyers Schillings said an incident had taken place and was now under investigation. His agent in the United States said he had no official statement at this stage and London representatives could not be immediately reached for comment.

A police spokeswoman, when asked about the incident, said a 46-year-old man had been arrested on Wednesday evening and questioned at a London police station after an allegation of assault in west London.

He was bailed to return in May.

Grant had a previous well-publicized run-in with the law. In 1995 he hit the headlines after being arrested during an encounter with a Los Angeles prostitute.

In 2000, Grant split with his girlfriend of 13 years, actress and model Elizabeth Hurley. Hurley married Indian businessman Arun Nayar last month.

The actor announced in February that he had ended his relationship with British socialite Jemima Khan.

Gere faces Indian arrest warrant
(https://xixax.com/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fnewsimg.bbc.co.uk%2Fmedia%2Fimages%2F42806000%2Fjpg%2F_42806789_gere_afp203300.jpg&hash=ed060bbd0d3665b8166b30e8e6efe5f1e554a948)
Richard Gere and Shilpa Shetty

An Indian court has issued an arrest warrant for Hollywood actor Richard Gere after he kissed Bollywood star Shilpa Shetty in public.

Gere, 57, kissed Shetty, 31, several times on the cheek at an Aids awareness event in Delhi earlier this month.

The court in Jaipur in Rajasthan state called it "an obscene act", after a local lawyer filed a complaint.

It was not immediately clear how the warrant could affect Gere, who is a frequent visitor to India.

Shetty, who found fame outside India as the winner of Celebrity Big Brother in the UK, has also been asked to appear before the court.

But her spokesman, Dale Bhagwager, said the actress had not received any court order or summons and was currently away visiting temples.

He said Shetty had not done anything wrong.

Bigger issue

"What is there to comment? They were three innocent, natural cute pecks on the cheek," said Mr Bhagwager.

"What can one say, when three pecks can be made into an issue in the land of the Kama Sutra? People should concentrate on the bigger issue of Aids, rather than this."

Photographs of the clinch were splashed across front pages of newspapers in India.

Public displays of affection are still largely taboo in India, and protestors in Mumbai (Bombay) set fire to effigies of Gere following the incident.

Dance scene

Shetty has defended Gere saying that it was all done "in good humour".

"He especially told me to tell the media that he didn't want to hurt any Indian sensibilities," she said.

She said Gere had only been re-enacting a scene from his film Shall We Dance.

Under Indian law, a person convicted of public obscenity faces up to three months in prison, a fine or both.

Gere, star of films such as Chicago and Pretty Woman, is a Buddhist and travels to India frequently to visit the Dalai Lama, who lives in exile in the north of the country.

FANS BEG ARNIE TO LET PARIS GO
Source: NY Post

A panicked Paris Hilton yesterday urged her fans to join her in a desperate plea to California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger to keep her out of jail.

"My friend Joshua started this petition, please help and sihn [sic] it. i LOVE YOU ALL!!!!!" she wrote in her latest blog entry on her MySpace page about Joshua Capone's letter, in which he asks the "Governator" to pardon the pitiful Paris because she provides "beauty and excitement" to "most of our mundane lives."

"Paris Whitney Hilton is a 26-year-old American celebrity and socialite. She is an heiress to a share of the Hilton Hotel fortune, as well as to the real estate fortune of her father Richard Hilton. She provides hope for young people all over the U.S. and the world," Capone wrote.

Hilton was sentenced to serve 45 days in Century Regional Detention Facility in Lynwood, Calif., for driving with a suspended license after a DWI bust. She must surrender on June 5.

"We, the American public who support Paris, are shocked, dismayed and appalled by how Paris has been the person to be used as an example that Drunk Driving is wrong," the letter says. "Please consider granting a pardon to Paris Hilton for her mistake, or at the very least to advocate for a pardon to be given to Ms. Hilton."

Earlier, right after Capone posted his open letter to the governor, Hilton gushed, "Thank you Joshua. I just want to thank Joshua so much for his kind words of love and support. God Bless, Love Paris."

Meanwhile yesterday, Paris' publicist and fall guy, Elliot Mintz - whom she axed after he testified he told the heirhead her license was suspended for 30 days instead of four months - vowed he would do anything to win her back.

"I absolutely love Paris," Mintz said. "She's a sweetheart and we are pals beyond a professional relationship. This is a time of enormous difficulty for her, and anything I can do for her I will."

Mintz said that the two plan to meet for an intimate dinner so they can discuss their working relationship.

"In this age of Blackberrys and cellphones, it's a good idea for us to sit down and look each other in the eye over dinner," Mintz said. "I gave her a call and she was warm and personal, and we're going to sit and have a conversation about her future."

According to reports today, the heiress has in fact reunited with the famed publicist. Mintz confirmed to The Associated Press that he was representing Paris once again.

Mintz is a veteran publicist who has a long history of dealing with respected stars - including Bob Dylan, John Lennon and Yoko Ono.

But lately, the faithful flak has served as more of a baby sitter, bodyguard and chauffeur for the pampered starlet, saying that he "goes above and beyond" because he has "nothing but love and respect for Paris and her family."

Paris' lawyer, meanwhile, yesterday filed a notice to appeal her sentence and plans to file the appeal later this week.

Michael Sauer, the judge who handed down the harsh sentence to the harebrained heiress, got a standing ovation at his Los Angeles church, according to the Web site TMZ.com.

Hilton's jail term cut to about 23 days

Paris Hilton will serve about half of her 45-day jail sentence and will be separated from the general inmate population, authorities said Wednesday.

The hotel heiress will spend about 23 days in a "special needs housing unit" at the Century Regional Detention Center in suburban Lynwood, Los Angeles County sheriff's spokesman Steve Whitmore said.

Her sentence was shortened after jail officials gave her credit for good behavior, Whitmore said. Officials considered several factors in calculating the credit, including that she appeared for her latest court date, he said.

Hilton will stay in a unit that contains 12 two-person cells reserved for police officers, public officials, celebrities and other high-profile inmates, he said.

Like everyone else in the 2,200-inmate facility, Hilton will get at least an hour outside her cell each day to shower, watch television, participate in outdoor recreation or talk on the telephone, he said.

The 26-year-old socialite was sentenced to jail this month for violating the terms of her probation in an alcohol-related reckless driving case. A judge ordered her to report to jail by June 5.

A call to her lawyer, DUI specialist Richard Hutton, was not immediately returned. Her publicist, Elliot Mintz, declined to comment.

Lohan arrested on suspicion of DUI

Lindsay Lohan was arrested on suspicion of driving under the influence Saturday after her convertible struck a curb, and investigators found what they believe is cocaine at the scene, police said.

Lohan, 20, and two other people were in her 2005 Mercedes SL-65 when it crashed on Sunset Boulevard around 5:30 a.m., Sgt. Mike Foxen said. It appeared Lohan was speeding, Lt. Mitch McCann said at an afternoon news conference.

Officers at the scene found a "usable amount" of a drug tentatively identified as cocaine, McCann said. He declined to say where the drug was found other than to say Lohan was not carrying it.

Lohan, who spent time at a rehabilitation center earlier this year, was driven in another car to a hospital for treatment of minor injuries, McCann said. The two other people in her car were not hurt.

Officers received a 911 call about the accident and arrested Lohan at the hospital for investigation of misdemeanor driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs, McCann said.

She was released from custody because she was admitted to the hospital, police said.

Lohan will have to appear in court to answer the citation, first reported on the Web site of X17 Inc., a celebrity photo agency.

The crash was Lohan's third accident in about two years. In October 2005, Lohan and a passenger received minor injuries when her convertible hit a van in West Hollywood. Authorities said the van driver, who also received minor injuries, was at fault.

Months earlier, Lohan collided with a minivan when she made a U-turn as the van, carrying paparazzi, followed her from a Los Angeles restaurant. A photographer was arrested for investigation of assault with a deadly weapon but prosecutors declined to charge him.

That crash was credited with prompting Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger to sign a law that set steep financial penalties for paparazzi who commit assaults while trying to obtain celebrity photos.

Lohan publicist Leslie Sloane Zelnik did not immediately return an e-mail requesting comment.

Lohan said in January that she had checked into a rehabilitation center for substance abuse treatment. Her publicist confirmed in December that the actress was attending Alcoholics Anonymous meetings.

Lohan told Allure magazine during an interview for its May issue that she decided to enter the secluded Wonderland Center at the suggestion of her therapist.

"It's so weird that I went to rehab. I always said I would die before I went to rehab," Lohan told the publication.

Lohan's latest movie, "Georgia Rule," is in theaters now. The actress' other screen credits include "Mean Girls," "Bobby," "A Prairie Home Companion" and "Freaky Friday."

Craven to Pauly: You're a Nightmare on My Street

Wes Craven has sued Pauly Shore for allegedly causing a honkin' landslide on his property and screwing with his head.

In a lawsuit obtained by TMZ and filed today in Los Angeles County Superior Court, Craven says Pauly, his neighbor, slacked off in keeping up his yard, pool, spa, sprinklers, irrigation, swales, downspouts and slopes. As a result, Craven claims "water from the Shore Property intruded and infiltrated the Craven Property causing a slope failure/landslide" in December, 2006.

Craven, who caused millions to cringe in a string of horror movies, claims he "suffered and will continue to suffer severe emotional distress and anxiety..." Touche!

Craven is seeking unspecified damages.

A call to Pauly's rep was not immediately returned.

Lindsay Lohan Arrested Again; For DUI, Suspected Drug Possession
Actress pulled over after strange car chase involving mother of assistant, released on $25,000 bail.

Less than two weeks after leaving a rehabilitation facility, Lindsay Lohan was pulled over by police early Tuesday morning in Santa Monica and arrested on five counts, including driving under the influence of alcohol, driving on a suspended license and possession of narcotics, according to a Santa Monica Police Department spokesperson.

Lohan was taken into custody after police stopped her near the parking lot of the Santa Monica Civic Auditorium at around 2:15 a.m. Tuesday morning. Lieutenant Alex Padilla said in a press briefing Tuesday morning that Lohan's arrest came as a result of a bizarre car chase that began earlier in the morning.

According to Padilla, Lohan was behind the wheel of a car that did not belong to her, chasing a car driven by the mother of a personal assistant. The mother managed to escape the chase and drove to the parking lot of the Santa Monica Police Department, where she called police and told them about the chase. Padilla said the unnamed mother of the assistant believed she was in danger during the chase.

Police pulled Lohan over and, smelling alcohol on her breath, gave her two breathalyzer tests, registering over the legal limit of .08 on both occasions — a .12 and a .13. While arresting her, police also reportedly found a white powdery substance in her pocket that tested positive for opiates and is believed to be cocaine. She had been released from the Santa Monica police station at press time, with bail set at $25,000.

Lohan checked out of the Promises rehab facility in Malibu, California, on July 13 after a six-week stay and had voluntarily been wearing an alcohol-monitoring anklet, which TMZ said she was wearing at the time of the arrest.

Her recent stint in rehab came after a Memorial Day car crash in which she was arrested for suspicion of driving under the influence. She turned herself in to Beverly Hills police to be booked on that charge and an additional suspicion of misdemeanor hit-and-run last Thursday.

Just last week, MTV spoke to a number of substance abuse experts who said that reports of Lohan going to nightclubs just 24 hours after her release from a rehab program were troubling and could be the first signs of a potential relapse.

Spokespeople for Lohan and the Santa Monica Police Department could not be reached for comment at press time.

Lindsay Lohan: 'I Am Innocent'

Lindsay Lohan is proclaiming her innocence after being arrested yesterday for investigation of driving under the influence and felony cocaine possession. "I am innocent... did not do drugs they're not mine. I was almost hit by my assistant Tarin's mom I appreciate everyone giving me my privacy," Lohan wrote in an e-mail to "Access Hollywood" host Billy Bush, the show reported on its Web site Tuesday night.

Lohan, 21, was arrested early Tuesday in Santa Monica and released on bail.

Police found cocaine in one of the actress' pockets during a pre-booking search, Sgt. Shane Talbot said. Police initially said Lohan was also being booked for investigation of transporting a narcotic but later said she was not.

Police received a 911 call from the mother of Lohan's former personal assistant, saying that Lohan was chasing her in an SUV, said Lt. Alex Padilla. The assistant had quit hours before, he said.

Authorities found Lohan and the woman in a "heated debate" in the parking lot of Santa Monica's Civic Auditorium at about 1:30 a.m.

Lohan's arrest comes as she still faces DUI allegations connected to a Memorial Day weekend hit-and-run crash in Beverly Hills. The actress completed more than six weeks in rehab less than two weeks ago, and had checked into a recovery clinic in January.

Lohan had worn an alcohol-monitoring ankle bracelet since her July 13 release from rehab and was tested daily to support her sobriety, her attorney Blair Berk said. She said Lohan had relapsed and was receiving medical care at an undisclosed location. Her publicist, Leslie Sloane Zelnik, had no comment.

She joins a long list of young actors who battled problems with drugs, alcohol, or both. They include River Phoenix, Drew Barrymore, Corey Feldman, Anissa Jones, Danny Bonaduce and Macaulay Culkin.

Phoenix, who starred in "Stand By Me" as a teen, died outside a Hollywood nightclub in 1993 from a lethal combination of cocaine and heroin. He was 23. Feldman, his "Stand By Me" co-star, also battled addiction and was arrested for heroin possession when he was 19.

Jones, who played Buffy on TV's "Family Affair," was just 18 when she died of a drug overdose in 1976. Bonaduce found fame at 10 as a star of "The Partridge Family," only to struggle with addiction and homelessness as a teenager. Culkin, best known for his starring turn in the kid-friendly "Home Alone" films, was busted in his early 20s for possession of pot and Xanax.

Barrymore, 32, has fared best. After going to rehab for drugs and alcohol at 13, she is a sought-after actress and filmmaker with her own production company, Flower Films.

Dr. David Deitch, an addiction specialist for more than 40 years and director of Phoenix House, a national nonprofit provider of substance-abuse treatments, said the glitter and glamor of Hollywood could be partly to blame.

"That life is all about the excitement, drama and peak performance followed by a letdown that gets medicated with entertainment and medication," he said.

Deitch said the average age at which children start using drugs has dropped every decade since the 1960s, and that today's youngsters start experimenting with drugs about age 12.

"The earlier the age of onset of chronic drug-taking, the greater the prognosis is for long-term problems," he said.

The actress was chastised last summer for repeatedly arriving late to the set of "Georgia Rule," and her latest legal troubles may cost her movie roles. She was set to start shooting "Poor Things," a comedy featuring Shirley MacLaine, when she entered rehab in May. The film's producers, who previously had supported Lohan, would not say Tuesday whether she would be part of the production.

Lohan is still set to appear in the film "Dare to Love Me," which is to begin shooting this summer, said Michael Sands, a consultant for production company Bowline Entertainment.

"The producers have compassion and kindness for her, so for now she's insured and still with the movie," he said. "She hasn't been convicted of any crimes."

All Hollywood productions need insurance, and troublesome or troubled actors can often stand in the way of that requirement.

"I don't see how she's employable for the next 18 months," Levine said. "Who's going to insure her?"

Lohan's latest film, "I Know Who Killed Me," is set to open Friday.

Seagal says FBI probe ruined career

Steven Seagal, whose action movies once were major box-office attractions, believes false allegations by FBI agents ruined his career, the Los Angeles Times reported on Friday.

The comments in the Times are the first Seagal has made publicly about an investigation begun some five years ago by the FBI into accusations he intimidated a reporter and had ties to organized crime.

The Times said Seagal is demanding an apology from the FBI. A spokesman for the actor was not immediately available on Friday.

"False FBI accusations fueled thousands of articles saying that I terrorize journalists and associate with the Mafia," Seagal told the newspaper. "These kinds of inflammatory allegations scare studio heads and independent producers -- and kill careers."

Seagal, 56, was once a major star of action movies such as 1992's "Under Siege," which earned $156 million at worldwide box offices, but now he makes straight-to-DVD releases such as "Flight of Fury and "Attack Force."

The FBI investigation stemmed from Seagal's ties to former private detective Anthony Pellicano, who once was employed by many Hollywood stars, directors and producers, but is now in federal prison awaiting trial on wire-tapping and other charges.

The Pellicano investigation dates to 2002 when a free-lance reporter for the Los Angeles Times found a dead fish, a red rose and a note saying "Stop!" on her car. At the time, the reporter was researching Seagal and a former business partner.

Seagal told the Times that he and Pellicano had not been on speaking terms since the 1990s and the Times' story said his lawyers told FBI agents that by 2002, Seagal and Pellicano had become rivals in a bitter legal dispute.

The actor said in October 2004, an FBI official told him that federal agents knew he had nothing to do with the Pellicano investigation. Still, Seagal claims they have not publicly exonerated him.

An FBI spokeswoman declined to comment "because of the ongoing nature of the investigation" and referred calls to the U.S. Attorney's Office in Los Angeles.

A spokesman for the U.S. Attorney noted Seagal has never been charged or accused of being involved in the incident that eventually led to Pellicano's arrest. The spokesman added that the office does not comment on talks it has with attorneys representing defendants, investigation targets or witnesses.

Murray refuses breath test in Sweden

Bill Murray could face a drunken driving charge after cruising through downtown Stockholm in a golf cart and refusing to take a breath test, citing U.S. law.

Police officers spotted the 56-year-old actor-comedian early Sunday in the slow-moving vehicle and noticed he smelled of alcohol when they pulled him over, said Detective-Inspector Christer Holmlund of the Stockholm police.

"He refused to blow in the (breath test) instrument, citing American legislation," Holmlund told The Associated Press on Wednesday. "So we applied the old method — a blood test. It will take 14 days before the results are in."

Murray, who had been at a golf tournament in Sweden, signed a document admitting that he was driving under the influence, and agreed to let a police officer plead guilty for him if the case goes to court, Holmlund said.

"Then he was let go. My guess is he went back to America," Holmlund said.

He said Murray would only be charged if tests show his blood alcohol level exceeded the legal limit, which is quite low in Sweden.

A very high alcohol level could lead to a prison sentence, but Holmlund said fines were more likely.

"There were no obvious signs, like when someone is really tipsy," he said.

Holmlund said it wasn't clear where Murray picked up the vehicle, or to whom it belonged.

"It was a golf cart. How it ended up in this predicament I don't know," he said, adding that Murray wasn't facing any theft charges.

It isn't illegal to drive a golf cart in city traffic in Sweden, but Holmlund said it is very unusual.

"I have done this since '68 and I've never experienced anything like this," he said.

Murray was among the cast members on NBC's "Saturday Night Live." He was nominated for an Oscar for 2003's "Lost in Translation." His screen credits also include the 1980 golfing comedy, "Caddyshack"; "Groundhog Day"; and "Rushmore."

On another forum I visit called Sherdog (an MMA website) theres a HUGE OT forum, and one of the posters there posted a video from his cell phone of Murray drunk off his ass telling him and his friends he was going to kick their ass. It was about 2 minutes long, and by the end, they were all best friends. These guys were like Mexican thugs, so it wasn't like they should have even been at the same bar in the first place.

Filmmaker Involved in Fatal Car Accident

Oscar-nominated director John Singleton was driving a Lexus SUV when it struck and killed a jaywalker who stepped in front of the car, police said Friday.

Singleton, 39, immediately stopped his car and waited for police to arrive after the accident Thursday night in the city's Jefferson Park neighborhood, said Officer Jason Lee, a police spokesman.

"Mr. Singleton stopped and identified himself as required by law and was not under the influence of drugs or alcohol," Lee said. "He was questioned and released."

The woman was taken to a hospital where she was pronounced dead Friday morning, Lee said. She was identified as Constance Russell, 57, of Los Angeles.

Other details were not immediately released, and an after-hours call to Singleton's agent was not immediately returned.

Singleton, whose debut film, 1991's "Boyz N The Hood," earned him two Oscar nominations, has also directed "Poetic Justice," "Shaft," and "2 Fast 2 Furious." He was the producer of "Hustle & Flow," "Black Snake Moan" and the just-released "Illegal Tender."

In 1985 he was involved in a controversial car crash while driving in Ireland with his then fiancé Jennifer Grey. The crash killed a woman and her daughter. Although Broderick was cleared of all charges, he paid a small fine to the family of the victims. He broke his leg in the accident, which happened just as Ferris Bueller's Day Off (1986), his biggest hit, was coming out in the US.

Vanessa Hudgens Naked Pictures Coming Soon

Since when did High School become so scandalous? Word on the block is that Vanessa Hudgens of "High School Musical" is pretty nervous because there might be pics of her naked surfacing on the net soon. Hudgens is dating her co-star Zac Efron and apparently she took pics of herself naked for her man but somehow some other peeps have the pics as well.

"Vanessa's only 18, so she had no idea how her flirtatious act could threaten the future of the multimillion-dollar plans Disney has for the show," a source told the National Enquirer. "She just wanted to keep Zac interested."

If there are such pics, there can be trouble for Disney and Hudgens. "High School Musical" is a kid's show and seeing one of the stars naked might ruin everything.

"It's a kids' show, aimed a children, teenagers and their parents and starring a bunch of cute, wholesome youngsters," said a show insider. "Naked pictures of one of the stars would be catastrophic. "It could bring the whole 'High School Musical' franchise to its knees."

Murray Explains Golf Cart Incident

Bill Murray says he was just dropping people after a party when he was stopped in downtown Stockholm driving a golf cart.

The police "asked me to come over and they assumed that I was drunk and I explained to them that I was a golfer," Murray told reporters Monday at the Venice Film Festival, where he appeared before the premiere of his new film "The Darjeeling Limited," which also stars Adrien Brody, Jason Schwartzman and Owen Wilson.

The star of 1980's "Caddyshack" said he was in Stockholm last month to play in a pro-am golf tournament, and hitched a ride to a post-event party in a golf cart. When no one wanted to drive home, he volunteered.

"I ended up stopping and dropping people off on the way like a bus. I had about six people in the thing and I dropped them off one at a time.

He said police called him over as he was dropping the last couple off at a 7-Eleven, adding "I didn't know they had 7-Elevens in Stockholm."

Swedish police took a blood test after the actor refused a breath test. He could face drunken driving charges.

It's not illegal to drive a golf cart through downtown Stockholm, just unsual.

Police arrested Jude Law for allegedly attacking a photographer outside his London home, British media reported Wednesday.

The 34-year-old actor allegedly tried to grab the photographer's camera during the incident on Tuesday, Britain's Press Association said. He was released on bail and must return to a London police station in October.

Law's publicist was not immediately available for comment.

Police would not directly confirm the report, but said a 34-year-old man from Law's neighborhood was arrested on suspicion of causing bodily harm. Police added the man voluntarily went to a police station for questioning.

Law recently returned from the Venice Film Festival where he was promoting the remake of the movie "Sleuth," in which he co-stars with Michael Caine.

Simpson named suspect in casino break-in

Investigators questioned O.J. Simpson and named him a suspect Friday in a break-in at a casino hotel room involving sports memorabilia.

The break-in was reported at the Palace Station casino late Thursday night, police spokesman Jose Montoya said. He said investigators determined the break-in involved sports collectibles.

"When they talked to him, Simpson made the comment that he believed the memorabilia was his," Montoya said. "We're getting conflicting stories from the two sides."

Simpson was released after he and several associates were questioned, but he is considered a suspect in the case, Montoya said. He is believed to be in Las Vegas.

"We don't believe he's going anywhere," he said.

The Heisman Trophy winner, ex-NFL star and actor lives near Miami and has been a tabloid staple since his ex-wife, Nicole Brown Simpson, and her friend Ron Goldman were killed in 1994. Simpson was acquitted of murder charges, but a jury later held him liable for the killings in a wrongful death lawsuit.

Simpson has had to auction off his sports collectibles, including his Heisman Trophy, to pay some of the $33.5 million judgment awarded to the Goldman family.

On Thursday, the Goldman family published a book about the killings that Simpson had written under the title, "If I Did It." After a deal for Simpson to publish it fell through, the family bought the rights and retitled the book "If I Did It: The Confessions of a Killer."

Investigators in the casino case planned to give their report to prosecutors Friday, Montoya said. The district attorney's office will decide whether to pursue charges.

Simpson had been scheduled to give a deposition Friday in Miami in a bankruptcy case involving his eldest daughter. But it was rescheduled because Simpson had told attorneys that he would be out of town.

Patricia Jones, a woman at the Florida office of Simpson attorney Yale L. Galanter who identified herself as Galanter's associate, said Galanter was out of town and had been forwarded messages seeking comment.

The Palace Station, an aging property just west of the Las Vegas Strip, is one of several Station Casinos-owned resorts that cater to locals. The 1,000-room hotel-casino, with a 21-story tower and adjacent buildings, opened in 1976.

A company spokeswoman did not immediately return a call for comment.

Rap star 'impersonated policeman'

US rapper The Game has appeared in court after being charged with impersonating a police officer.

Police said the star told a cab driver he was an undercover officer in 2006, ordering him to run several red lights.

The hip-hop artist, real name Jayceon Taylor, insisted he was innocent. He has been given a conditional discharge at Manhattan's Criminal Court.

That means if the star is not arrested again within six months, the charge will be dismissed and the case closed.

The Game rejected offers of a plea deal that would have kept him out of jail in exchange for a guilty plea.

The rapper, who has a large "LA" tattooed on the right side of his face and a teardrop under his left eye, claimed the cab driver noticed they were being followed and asked who was in the car.

He said he told the driver they were the hip-hop police, and the driver decided on his own to run the red lights.

The rapper's lawyer Jeffrey Lichtman said it was unlikely a cab driver, seeing his client's tattoos, would have thought he was a policeman.

Speaking afterwards, The Game said: "I love New York, but I hate the system. But I hate every system."

Once a protege of rapper 50 Cent, he shot to stardom with his Grammy-nominated debut album The Documentary in 2005.

He currently still faces three felony charges in California for a February incident in which he is accused of pulling a gun during a basketball game in Los Angeles.

If convicted of those charges, he faces up to five years in jail.

George Clooney Hurt in Motorcycle Crash

George Clooney and a companion were injured on Friday when their motorcycle collided with a car on a narrow road across the Hudson River from New York City.

Clooney suffered a broken rib and scrapes while his passenger, Sarah Larson, broke her foot in the 3:30 p.m. collision. The two were treated at Palisades Medical Center in North Bergen and released, Clooney's spokesman, Stan Rosenfield, said.

"He's doing fine," Rosenfield said. "He has a broken rib, it's very painful and it'll take a long time to heal."

Clooney and Larson were traveling north and sped up to pass on the right of a 1999 Mazda Millenia that was preparing to make a right turn, said Weehawken police Sgt. Sean Kelly. Both were wearing helmets.

It wasn't known whether the Mazda's driver, whose identity was not immediately released, used a turn signal, Kelly said. The accident was under investigation.

"It's a he-said, she-said right now, but you can't pass on the right in Weehawken or anywhere in Jersey," Kelly said.

Rosenfield said the accident occurred when the vehicle signaled a left-hand turn, but turned right and struck Clooney's motorcycle.

"The car signaled left. George was riding to the right. The driver decided to make an abrupt right turn and clipped George," he said.

The 46-year-old actor was in the New York area to film the dark comedy "Burn After Reading," co-starring Brad Pitt, John Malkovich and Frances McDormand.

Clooney's recovery shouldn't interrupt the production's schedule, Rosenfield said.

Clooney's latest film, "Michael Clayton," will be released next month. He and Larson have been spotted together at several film festivals and movie premieres in recent weeks.

Sutherland arrested on drunk driving charges

Kiefer Sutherland was arrested early today on misdemeanor drunk driving charges after failing a field sobriety test, a police officials said.

The actor was pulled over at around 1:10 a.m. in West Los Angeles after officers spotted him making an illegal U-turn, said Officer Kevin Maiberger.

Sutherland, 40, tested over the state's legal blood alcohol limit of .08 percent and was arrested on a misdemeanor charge of driving under the influence, Officer Karen Smith said.

He was released around 4 a.m. after posting $25,000 bail, according to Sheriff's Department records, and was scheduled to appear in court Oct. 16, said Maiberger.

Sutherland won a best actor Emmy award last year for his performance on the Fox TV series "24." The series is set to return to the air in January.

Rodriguez Will Serve Jail Time After Movie Shoot
Source: IMDB

Michelle Rodriguez will start her six month jail sentence on Christmas Eve - after she has finished work on her new movie. The Lost star was handed the jail sentence after admitting violating her probation for driving under the influence. She was told December 24 was the latest date she could hand herself in at a Los Angeles County jail - and a message on her MySpace page reveals she will do just that, after she had jetted to New Zealand to shooting a new film alongside Sigourney Weaver. The message reads, "Michelle will still be leaving for New Zealand to film James Cameron's Avatar and will then report back to turn herself in to serve her sentence on Christmas Eve. Michelle is a survivor and is always growing from her experiences, and this will be no different. Nothing will bring her down, especially not something like this."

De Mornay Reportedly Arrested for DUI

Rebecca De Mornay has been arrested for investigation of drunken driving, a magazine reported Tuesday.

The actress, who starred in the films "Risky Business" and "The Hand That Rocks the Cradle," was stopped Oct. 30 for a traffic violation in Beverly Hills when officers smelled booze on her breath, according to People magazine. Authorities told the magazine her blood alcohol level was .09 percent, above the legal limit of .08.

"She was very cooperative during the arrest," Lt. Tony Lee, a police spokesman, told the magazine.

Lee did not return telephone calls from The Associated Press, and e-mails and telephone messages for De Mornay's representatives were not returned.

De Mornay had not been charged, said Los Angeles County prosecutor's spokeswoman Sandi Gibbons.

De Mornay's screen credits include HBO's surf drama "John From Cincinnati" and the films "American Venus," "Lords of Dogtown" and "Raise Your Voice." She came to prominence playing the prostitute who befriends Tom Cruise's high school student in the 1983 film "Risky Business."

Associated Press records indicate De Mornay's age is 45, while some other sources give it as 48.

Mickey Rourke Arrested in Fla. on DUI

A scooter-riding Mickey Rourke was arrested Thursday on suspicion of driving under the influence.

Rourke, star of "Sin City," "Diner" and "9 1/2 Weeks," was arrested at 4:20 a.m. and booked at the Miami-Dade County Jail, said Janelle Hall, a jail spokeswoman. He was released on a $1,000 bond, she said.

A telephone message left at the office of Rourke's agent wasn't immediately returned.

A Miami Beach Police report said Rourke made a U-turn with a red light and then swerved several times while on a green scooter. He had a flushed face and bloodshot, watery eyes, his speech was slurred, and he had a strong odor of alcohol on his breath, the report said.

"I'm not drunk, I didn't even drink that much," the report quoted Rourke as saying.

Rourke, 51, allegedly failed field-sobriety tests before being taken to headquarters. He also failed an alcohol breath test, police said.

Sean Young Ejected From DGA Awards For Being Overserved?
Source: Defamer

Stories like the one that you are about to read are the reason we REALLY missed watching The Golden Globes this year. While we weren't at the Hyatt Regency Century Plaza for last night's DGA Awards, one of our loose-lipped Defamer informants just sent us the following tip regarding an incident involving an the one of Hollywood's most unpredictable actresses, Sean Young. Yes, the same Sean Young who once appeared on The Joan Rivers Show decked out in full Catwoman gear in hopes of landing the role that would go to Michelle Pfieffer. Anyway, after taking time to hurl insults towards both Marion Cotillard and Julian Schnabel (the former en français, no less!), the scourge of James Woods' life was (allegedly) booted from the premises by a security cop. Our tipster's highly amusing recollection of the incident follows after the jump.

as a faithful reader of your blog, I just wanted to tell you about the AWESOME drama at the DGA Awards Saturday night at the Century City Hotel. Things were pretty calm for the dinner, but once the award portion of the evening began, has-been actress Sean Young started to get rowdy. She started talking loudly through out the show...at times screaming in French at the stage when that French actress from La Vie en Rose [Ed. Note - That'd be Marion Cotillard] took the stage..at other times breaking into song. She yelled at a video clip of George Clooney from Michael Clayton and then would start nuzzling the neck of her date (who seemed oblivious) but it was when Julian Schnabel took the stage toward the end of the evening that she really went kook...yelling at him to "get on with it" and to "move it on" (The DGA Awards are unique, they let all of the film nominees say something about their films and thank their crews before naming the winner at the end of the night). Julian yelled back at her to "Have another drink, Honey" and started to leave the stage before the crowd yelled at him to stay. He continued to talk and Sean stood up and mad a big production of putting on her white fur coat, walking around in a circle and then taking her seat again. Finally a security guard came over and grabbed her arm and yanked her through the tables to the side door and tossed her out. Still can't figure out who her date was (he looked like a lawyer type..an ohhhh he's going to get it at work come Monday).

Oh yes, there's other thing that we just remembered that gives this tale even a bit more creedence. Sean Young told Entertainment Weekly back in September about her unsuccessful attempts to crash Vanity Fair's annual Oscar party back in 2006. We find that to be very Interesting Spice.

Sean Young to rehab after DGA outburst  
Source: Yahoo News

The 48-year-old actress was escorted from the ballroom at the Hyatt Regency in Century City Saturday night after sparring with Julian Schnabel, who was nominated for "The Diving Bell and the Butterfly."

"Actress Sean Young voluntarily admitted herself yesterday to a rehabilitation center for treatment related to alcoholism," a statement from Insignia PR said Tuesday. "It is understood that Young has struggled against the disease for many years."

At the DGAs, all of the film nominees get a chance to say a few words before the top prize is announced. Schnabel, in his trademark yellow-tinted glasses, was a bit slow to start, looking down at the podium and running his hands through his wild, curly hair.

That's when Young could be heard throughout the room urging him to get on with it. Apparently rattled, Schnabel scanned the room and asked who said that, then spotted Young and suggested that she "have another cocktail."

Then he suggested that she should finish his speech for him and started walking off the stage. Music began playing for his exit, but the audience urged him to stay and keep speaking, and he did. Young, meanwhile, was removed from the ballroom.

A call seeking comment from the Directors Guild was not immediately returned.

Joel and Ethan Coen were the winners for "No Country for Old Men."

Young made her name in the 1980s with films like "Stripes," "Blade Runner" and "No Way Out." But she's become more famous for some of her more bizarre behavior, including dressing up in a homemade cat suit in her quest to secure the role of Catwoman in the 1992 sequel "Batman Returns," which went to Michelle Pfeiffer.

She also tried to crash the Vanity Fair Oscar party in 2006.

"It was degrading," she said in an Entertainment Weekly article last year. "But when you have nothing to lose, it's really not that big of a deal."



That's so cute...Look at her all trying to be relevant. Nice try.

Kirsten Dunst checks into rehab clinic: reports

Actress Kirsten Dunst, who starred in the hit "Spider-Man" movies, has checked into a rehab center in Utah for undisclosed reasons, celebrity Web sites reported on Thursday, citing unidentified sources.

Dunst, 25, was said to have checked into the Cirque Lodge Treatment Center that in recent days has been home to another popular actress, Eva Mendes. Lindsay Lohan also spent time at Cirque Lodge last year when she was experiencing troubles.

People.com cited one source as saying Dunst "is not doing well" and that people around the movie actress had been pushing her to check into a rehab clinic. Web sites for Star magazine and the TV show Entertainment Tonight also carried reports of Dunst checking into the Cirque Lodge.

A spokesman for Dunst was not immediately available to comment.

Dunst is widely known for her role as Mary Jane Watson, the love interest of Spider-Man alter ego Peter Parker, in the box office smash movie franchise.

She rose to fame as a child actress in films such as "Interview With the Vampire," and recently played French queen Marie Antoinette in director Sofia Coppola's "Marie Antoinette."

Snipes sentenced to three years
Actor sent to jail for tax fraud

A federal judge has sentenced action star Wesley Snipes to the maximum three-year sentence on tax charges.
Prosecutors had requested three years, one year for each of Snipes' convictions of willfully failing to file a tax return.

Snipes' lawyers offered three dozen letters from family members, friends and even fellow actors Woody Harrelson and Denzel Washington attesting to his good character. They argued he should get only probation, because all three convictions were misdemeanors and the actor had no previous criminal record.

Andy Dick jailed in SoCal on drug, sex allegations

Andy Dick was arrested early Wednesday for investigation of drug use and sexual battery after the comedian allegedly pulled down a teenager's top, police said.

The former co-star of the TV sitcom "NewsRadio" was released from a detention center after posting $5,000 bail. Calls to his representatives seeking comment were not immediately returned.

Police were called to the Buffalo Wild Wings in Murrieta at about 1:13 a.m. to investigate a report of "an intoxicated male" urinating outside the bar and causing a disturbance, according to a police statement.

When they arrived, a 17-year-old girl told police that she was outside when Dick left the bar, walked up, "grabbed her tank top and bra and pulled them down and exposed her breasts," the statement said.

Friends escorted Dick to a truck, which officers stopped at a nearby Sam's Club, police said.

Dick was identified by the teenager and a witness, police said.

Marijuana and the drug Xanax were found his pants pockets during a search and he appeared "extremely intoxicated," police said.

Dick, 42, was booked at Southwest Detention Center in French Valley on suspicion of felony possession of a controlled substance, misdemeanor sexual battery and misdemeanor possession of marijuana.

Dick has a reputation for crude behavior. He has been reported to have exposed himself to audiences at least twice. He was forcibly removed from the set of the show "Jimmy Kimmel Live" last year after he repeatedly touched guest Ivanka Trump without her permission.

Also last year, Dick was cited in Columbus, Ohio, for urinating on the sidewalk. A comedy club owner in the city said the actor also made inappropriate comments while onstage, groped patrons, took women into the men's room and urinated on the floor and on at least one person.

In 1999, Dick was arrested for possession of cocaine and marijuana after driving his car into a telephone pole in Hollywood. He pleaded guilty but the charges were dismissed after he went into a diversion program.

Report: Christian Bale accused of assaulting mom

Batman star Christian Bale was to be questioned by police over allegations he assaulted his mother and sister the night before the European premiere of his film, "The Dark Knight," British media reported Tuesday.

His mother and sister reportedly complained that the 34-year-old actor assaulted them at a west London hotel on Sunday.

Britain's Press Association said they made the allegation at a police station in south England on Monday and that the allegation was passed on to Scotland Yard in London. It said questioning was expected Tuesday.

When asked Tuesday about the news reports, Scotland Yard said it was investigating an allegation referred to it by another police force but refused to say whether the incident involved Bale.

The Sun newspaper said police did not question Bale on Monday because they did not want to interfere with the premiere.

Bale's U.S.-based representatives did not immediately return messages seeking comment. Phone calls to Bale's London representative rang unanswered.

LaBeouf arrested for drink driving

Indiana Jones star Shia LaBeouf has been arrested for drink driving after an early morning car accident in Hollywood.
LaBeouf was the driver of a vehicle that was involved in a crash at 3am local time on Sunday at a street corner in Hollywood, a Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department spokesman said.
He said it was clear to officers who responded to the scene that LaBeouf was intoxicated, and he was subsequently arrested.
It is not immediately known what charges the American actor will face.
LaBeouf and his passenger were injured, as was the other driver. The spokesman said the extent of the injuries are unknown at this time.
In February, the 22-year-old star was awarded the Bafta Orange Rising Star Award, which was voted for by the British general public.
Following LaBeouf's lead role in The Greatest Game Ever Played, Steven Spielberg last year cast him in starring roles in the films Disturbia and Transformers.

Actor Morgan Freeman is injured in car accident

Oscar-winning actor Morgan Freeman was injured in a car accident late Sunday night and is in a hospital in Memphis, Tenn.

Regional Medical Center spokeswoman Kathy Stringer said Freeman, 71, is in serious condition. The hospital is about 90 miles north of the accident scene in rural Tallahatchie County in the Mississippi Delta.

Mississippi Highway Patrol spokesman Sgt. Ben Williams confirmed Freeman was in a wreck shortly before midnight Sunday, but said he was still gathering information and had few details Monday.

Clay McFerrin, editor of Sun Sentinel in Charleston, said he arrived at the accident scene on Mississippi Highway 32 soon after it happened about 4 miles west of Charleston, not far from where Freeman owns a home with his wife.

McFerrin said it appeared that Freeman's car was airborne went it left the highway and landed in a ditch.

"They had to use the jaws of life to extract him from the vehicle," McFerrin said. "He was lucid, conscious. He was talking, joking with some of the rescue workers at one point."

McFerrin said bystanders converged on the scene trying to get a glimpse of the actor.

When one person tried to snap a photo with a cell phone camera, Freeman joked, "no freebies, no freebies," McFerrin said.

The hospital where Freeman is being treated is commonly known as The Med, and is an acute-care teaching facility that serves patients within 150 miles of Memphis.

David Duchovny Rehabbing for Sex Addiction

The truth is out there, whether we want it or not.

David Duchovny has checked into rehab to undergo treatment for sex addiction, E! News has confirmed.

"I have voluntarily entered a facility for the treatment of sex addiction," Duchovny said in a statement released Thursday by his attorney, Stanton "Larry" Stein. "I ask for respect and privacy for my wife and children as we deal with this situation as a family."

The 48-year-old X-Files star—who, ironically, won a Golden Globe this year for playing an over-sexed struggling writer on Showtime's Californication—has been married to Téa Leoni since May 1997. They have two children together, daughter Madelaine West, 9, and son Kyd Miller, 6.

"All of us at Showtime wish David and his family the best during this very private time," Richard Licata, the network's executive VP of Corporate Communications, said in a statement to E! News.

The second season of Californication, premiering Sept. 28, finished shooting late last month and 12 episodes are ready to go.

Though it may have been awhile, this isn't the first time Duchovny's sex life has turned into a talking point.

"I'm not a sex addict," he said in an interview with Playgirl in 1997. "I have never been to those meetings. It's hurtful to my family and if I was involved with a woman in a monogamous relationship, it would be hurtful to her.

"There was another story claiming I was a neat freak. If I had to choose one of the two, I think I'd rather be a sex addict. It's not funny and I'll be glad when it goes away."

Uncomfortably enough, Leoni herself quashed a rumor that her hubby was afflicted with a sex addiction back in May of 1998, telling Elle that she found the notion "very exciting."

"David was accused of being a sex addict," Leoni, who had been married for one year at that point, said. "Which I always found very exciting. And then I found out it wasn't true."

"Men are like bulls," she continued. "They gotta get the new cow. Maybe you've got to get the bull after he's had a lot of cows, so you might just be the last new one."

George Michael arrest over drugs

The singer George Michael has been cautioned after being arrested in a public toilet for possession of drugs, thought to include crack cocaine.

"A 45-year-old man was arrested on 19 September on suspicion of possession of drugs in the Hampstead Heath area," a Metropolitan Police spokesman said.

The singer was taken to a police station and given the caution for possessing class A and class C drugs.

Home Office Minister Tony McNulty said drug laws needed to be "flexible".

Asked why Michael had been given a relatively mild punishment for the possession of class A drugs, Mr McNulty said he did not know the details of the case.

But he added that the law provides a wide range of punishments for possession of drugs, and "circumstances and context" had to be applied.

The Home Office website says possession of class A drugs can result in up to seven years in prison, an unlimited fine or both.

Mr McNulty told the BBC: "The biggest message is that drugs are wrong and people will be punished, but it must be right that there is flexiblity in the law," he said.

But the government has the balance "about right" between being tough when it needs to be and providing treatment for individuals "to get off that horrible spiral of drug dependancy and crime", he added.

'Quieter life'

Last month, George Michael completed his 25 Live world tour, his first for 15 years.

After performing "final" dates at London's Earls Court and in Copenhagen, Michael said he would be retiring from arena and stadium shows.

He said he would leave the "bells and whistles" of large-scale tours behind after the tour because he wanted a "quieter life".

During the concerts, he performed his number one hit Outside in a police uniform in a jokey reference to previous arrests.

The song itself referred to his arrest in 1998 when he was detained by an undercover police officer for lewd conduct in a public toilet in Beverly Hills, California.
Until that time he had not "come out" in public, but the arrest and subsequent conviction forced him to reveal his homosexuality and his relationship with American Kenny Goss.

Michael also came into conflict with the law in October 2006 when he was found slumped over the wheel of his car.

And last May he was given a two-year driving ban after pleading guilty to driving while unfit through drugs.

Earlier this year, the 45-year-old singer signed a multi-million pound deal with publisher HarperCollins to write his autobiography, which he said would be a "no-holds barred" account of his life.

And during his final shows on stage, he revealed that he had written a Christmas song which would be released this December - his first festive song since Wham!'s Last Christmas, initially released in 1984.

Heather Locklear arrested
The actress is suspected of driving under the influence of controlled substances in Montecito.

Actress Heather Locklear was arrested Saturday night on suspicion of driving under the influence of controlled substances in Montecito, authorities said.

Locklear, who is no longer in custody, was arrested by the California Highway Patrol and booked about 7 p.m. after a citizen called 911 to report a woman's erratic driving, said Tom Marshall, a spokesman for the CHP.

The person who reported the incident said she saw a woman who was visibly impaired, later identified to be Locklear, getting into a car in a Montecito parking lot Saturday afternoon about 4:30, Marshall said.

Locklear showed bizarre behavior, driving back and forth over a pair of sunglasses on the pavement and revving her engine. After leaving the parking lot, she stopped her car on the street and stumbled into the traffic lane, according to the caller, who followed Locklear out of concern, Marshall said.

When the CHP officer arrived, Locklear's car was parked on State Route 192 partially blocking a lane, Marshall said. The officer talked to her and determined that she was disoriented and "under the influence of something." She was taken to the CHP's Santa Barbara-area office to be tested for alcohol and drugs.

Locklear tested negative for alcohol. Other drug tests will be returned in a few days, Marshall said.

The actress, best known for television shows such as "Melrose Place" and "Spin City," was booked on charges of driving while impaired and being under the influence of a controlled substance.

Boy George found guilty in male escort case

The former Culture Club man kidnapped and beat up a male escort

Former Culture Club singer Boy George has today (December 5) been found guilty of falsely imprisoning and beating a man in his east London home.

The singer, 46, was tried at London's Snaresbrook Crown Court under his real name, George O'Dowd. He was found guilty of handcuffing male escort Auden Carlsen, 29, and beating him with a metal chain.

As NME.COM previously reported, Carlsen said O'Dowd had beaten him as he tried to escape from his Shoreditch flat after a naked photo shoot in November 2007.

During the case, O'Dowd had denied one count of false imprisonment.

The singer is expected to be sentenced on January 16.

O.J. Simpson sentenced to at least 15 years

LAS VEGAS – A broken O.J. Simpson was sentenced Friday to at least 15 years in prison for a hotel armed robbery after a judge rejected his apology and said, "It was much more than stupidity."

The 61-year-old football Hall of Famer stood shackled and stone-faced when Judge Jackie Glass quickly rattled off his punishment soon after he made a rambling, five-minute plea for leniency, choking back tears as he told her: "I didn't want to steal anything from anyone. ... I'm sorry, sorry."

The judge said several times that her sentence in the Las Vegas case had nothing to do with Simpson's 1994 acquittal in the slaying of his ex-wife Nicole Brown Simpson and her friend Ronald Goldman.

"I'm not here to try and cause any retribution or any payback for anything else," Glass said.

Simpson was immediately led away to prison after the judge refused to permit him to go free on bail while he appeals.

Simpson's co-defendant and former golfing buddy, Clarence "C.J. Stewart, also was sentenced to at least 15 years.

Outside court, Goldman's father, Fred Goldman, and sister, Kim, said they were thrilled with the sentence.

"There's never closure. Ron is always gone. What we have is satisfaction that this monster is where he belongs behind bars," Fred Goldman said.

Casey Affleck helming Joaquin Phoenix doc
Film to track actor-turned-rapper's music career
Source: Hollywood Reporter

Casey Affleck will track the musical career of Joaquin Phoenix behind the lens of a camera.

Affleck is directing a documentary feature on Phoenix, his friend and fellow actor who last spring decided to swap the thespian business for a musical one.

Phoenix is embarking on a new path as a rapper, with an album to be produced by Sean Combs. He is scheduled to make his first public performance Friday at a Las Vegas club, which will officially kick off Affleck's shoot.

Affleck, repped by Endeavor and Brillstein Entertainment Partners, is known for his work in front of the camera with such movies as "Gone Baby Gone" and the "Ocean's Eleven" series. He directed a series of shorts for Sundance Channel in the late 1990s.

Julia Roberts' F-word rant caught on tape
The Daily Telegraph                                          January 20, 2009

Raging Roberts
MOVIE star Julia Roberts turns the chase on the paparazzi. Warning: Strong language.
Views today: 2285

Mind your manners ... Julia Roberts has been caught on camera issuing an expletive laden warning to a paparazzo

PRETTY Woman Julia Roberts turned angry woman with a foul-mouthed rant against a hapless photographer she accuses of stalking her.

Roberts, who moved to New Mexico to get out of the public eye, is captured on video giving the paparazzo a piece of her mind after being followed all day.

Springing to the defence of her children, the actress gets out of her car and screams: "You get the f... out of my face, do you understand me?

"You are harrassing me. Get the f... out of my face. You have followed me all over town. I have had it with you.

As the photographer apologises, Roberts yells: " F... off! Aim higher! Get a life! Get away from me!"

Some reports suggest he's under contract for an entire Terminator trilogy. But I'm not too surprised he would do this after his Batman roles. Before Batman he tried his hand at action roles with Reign of Fire and Equilibrium. I think he has a geniune interest to be a movie star.

If you compare Bale with Daniel Craig, both come from decent beginnings of acting and have gone on to do strong roles in indepedent films. Both have also crossed over to blockbuster roles, but Craig didn't take on Thor because he felt it would be just too much with also having done Bond. Obviously Bale didn't feel the same embarassment after becoming Bruce Wayne.

That's why it's so funny.  Bale knows he's the only person on set who isn't replaceable, and everyone else knows it too, that's why he knows he can go on and on for almost four minutes like this.  Listen to the way everyone speaks to him like they're timid little children trying to avoid the beat down from the school bully.  You're absolutely right, in the real world every person there would have told him to go fuck himself on his way to pick up his last check.

This seems to be one of those cases, like when Edward Norton was contractually obligated to do one more film for who knows what studio and ended up doing The Italian Job and hating it.

The third Terminator was a blip on the map. It was a mirage and cash cow mistake. More people still identify the Terminator films with the first two. A consensus is that those two are still excellent action films. They also levy respect because they transported James Cameron to a heavyweight in Hollywood and someone who garners more respect than even George Lucas. I recently watched the second one again and still had a really fun time and wished a lot of the things that were in that film were in more action films today.

Until I am shown evidence otherwise, I believe this was a conscious move on Bale's part. Edward Norton had signed a deal with a studio and owed them a film that would deliver at the box office. All the films Norton had done up until Italian Job were smaller stuff. Christian Bale already delivered huge amounts of money to studios with Dark Knight and has as much power as any actor could now. And considering to act in a Terminator film reques twice as much as time as most other films, I can't see how he could have been in the situation to be pressured to do this.

THIS JUST IN: BALE REGRETS SAYING HE "CARES TOO MUCH" DURING EXPRESSING OF HIS REGRETS ON LA RADIO SHOW

Dirty mouthed actor, possible mother beater and sometimes douche bag Christian Bale phoned in to LA's Kevin & Bean Show earlier in attempt to "make things clear" about his recent outburst on the film set of Terminator 4. During his conversation with the disc jockeys, he apologized for his actions and said they were "inexcusable" and sounded sincere throughout most of his speech until he went ahead and killed it by saying, "It's because I care too much." If you cringed while reading this line, just imagine what the audio of it would have done to you. Immediately following his telephone call to the radio program, he issued an e-mail to the show's hosts which included the following statement:

"I think it went well fellas, save for when I said 'I care too much.' God I'm a fucking ass sometimes. LOL."

i didn't find it all that amazing... remember, he's an actor. and a damn good one at that... he just knew what to say to try and defuse the situation.

there's an underlying reason that he went off the way he did. but that's between him and his psychiatrist.

Post by: picolas on February 07, 2009, 03:39:05 AM
he knew what to say to defuse the situation, yeah. because it's the truth. it was inexcusable. it was unprofessional. and he did continue working with the dp for hours afterwards. it's a totally genuine, well-delivered statement on his part. don't consider it a lie because he's an actor. actors don't just LIE all the time to make themselves look good and make a living that way. at least not the good ones. it all comes from a genuine place of self-exploration. he was clearly deeply passionate about what was going on, and he admits that focus went out of control and made things very ugly. i really think you're ignoring the content of the apology.

Chris Brown is being investigated for allegedly assaulting Rihanna after the Clive Davis pre-Grammys tribute event on Saturday night.

According to an LAPD report, cops arrived at the scene early Sunday morning - around 12:30 A.M. - after receiving a 911 call reporting a disturbance.

A woman, who insiders name as Rihanna, was found with visible injuries and identified Chris Brown as her attacker.

Kanye West: I'd Do Anything To Help Rihanna

Kanye West is shocked by Chris Brown's alleged assault of Rihanna, West said Tuesday.

"I don't want to speak too much on it, but I was completely devastated by the concept of what I heard," West, 31, told Ryan Seacrest on his KIIS FM radio show Tuesday morning.

"[Rihanna] has the potential to be, you know, the greatest artist of all time and, in that sense, I feel like [she is] my baby sis," added West.

Didn't Kanye say that he himself was "the greatest artist of a generation in the last ten years"?   It's good to see him be so thoughtful of somebody else's career in order to further his own career.

Kanye West's Radiohead tirade cut from VH1 show

LOS ANGELES (Reuters) – Hip-hop star Kanye West trashed Radiohead and said the public should give Chris Brown "a break," during a recent taping of VH1's "Storytellers."

But the comments will not make it to air when the episode premieres on the lifestyle cable network on Saturday.

The taping, which took place on February 13 at Sony Studios in Los Angeles, lasted three hours. The show's producers cut it to 90 minutes, after getting network approval to expand the episode from its usual one hour.

Some of West's choicer comments ended up on the cutting room floor, but there's no political conspiracy afoot, said executive producer Bill Flanagan.

"A lot of the stories that Kanye told went long," Flanagan told Reuters on Thursday. "I tried to get to the essence of his comments."

One of hip-hop's most intriguing and outspoken stars, West seems tailor-made for "Storytellers," in which artists play their songs in an intimate setting and share tidbits with audience about how they were written.

The idea behind "Storytellers" is that VH1 encourages the artist "to just keep talking," and producers in turn will "eliminate any 'gotcha' moments" that don't work, Flanagan said.

During the taping, according to a Reuters reporter, West was aggrieved that Radiohead singer Thom Yorke had allegedly snubbed him backstage at the Grammys five days earlier. That hurt, West told the audience, because he idolizes the British band, and considers it one of his few creative rivals.

"So when he performed at the Grammys, I sat the f--- down," West said.

A little later, West asked the crowd, "Can't we give Chris a break? ... I know I make mistakes in life." He was referring to R&B singer Chris Brown, who was arrested on the night of the Grammys on suspicion of beating his girlfriend Rihanna.

In the same context, West earned loud applause with his declaration: "Michael Jackson, amazing. Michael Phelps, amazing ... He's a real f---in' person; he makes mistakes," referring to the champion swimmer's recent bong pipe brouhaha.

VH1 has cleaned up those comments a bit, and it also included West's less-popular follow-up observation: "O.J. Simpson, amazing. Is he not? What he did, when he did, what he did. Was he not amazing though?"

In between his speeches, West found time to perform 14 songs. Some, such as "Go Hard" and "Street Lights," will not appear on the episode. The final set list combines older tunes like "Touch the Sky" and "Stronger," and tracks from his new album "808s and Heartbreak," including "Amazing" and "See You In My Nightmares."

Flanagan said he was "pretty delighted" with the way West opened up to the crowd and took the whole project seriously.

Next up for "Storytellers" is a taping with resurrected rock trio ZZ Top in Chicago in a couple of weeks, he said.

'Dark Knight' Director's Brother Wanted for Murder?
Source: Cinematical

It's the sort of story that puts Christian Bale's un-Batman-like rant into perspective -- Dark Knight director Christopher Nolan's brother may be a murderer.

Matthew Francis Nolan, 40, is wanted in Costa Rica for the kidnapping and murder of a Florida businessman. Nolan allegedly presented himself to the now-deceased Robert C. Cohen as an investor, claiming he wanted to do business in South America. But his real mission, authorities say, was to get $7 million that Cohen owed another man in Florida.

Nolan's accomplice, Douglas Mejia, has already been convicted of kidnapping Cohen when he and Nolan attempted to extort the money from Cohen's family. When that failed, cops say that the pair killed him.

Nolan was already under investigation by the FBI regarding an unrelated $700,000 bank-fraud scheme. He's now being held in the U.S., awaiting extradition.

Christopher Nolan collaborated with another brother, Jonathan, on the scripts for Memento, The Prestige, and The Dark Knight, as well as the upcoming Terminator: Salvation -- it looks like they don't have to search too far to find inspiration for the darker themes in their screenplays. A lot of families have black sheep, but who knew that Nolan's own brother might be the Joker?

Billy Bob Thornton Displays Jerk-Like Behavior

Another day, another dash of celebrity petulance. By now, you've read about the "strange" interview Billy Bob Thornton gave to a Canadian radio station. But you haven't seen it, and once you do you'll agree that "strange" probably isn't the right word for Thornton's behavior. Many words will come to mind when you see it, but "strange" is probably too polite of one, as is the phrase "under the influence." It reminds me of a surreal, unfunny SNL skit.

The host, Jian Ghomeshi, really deserves praise for remaining cool and professional in the face of such bad behavior and thick tension. It's rather unsettling how Thornton attacks him for asking legitimate questions about music -- which Thornton chooses to answer by discussing Forrest J. Ackerman's Famous Monsters of Filmland before blaming Ghomeshi for a bad introduction.

You also have to feel bad for Thornton's bandmates who are clearly on edge before the interview even begins. They deserve better than a drummer who won't bring his kit to perform and while there's supposedly no such thing as bad publicity, who would want to live this down?

Thornton's publicist currently has no comment, but one would hope he apologizes to Ghomeshi and to his bandmates very soon. That is, unless the whole thing was an act to begin with ...

Jackie Chan: Chinese people need to be controlled
By WILLIAM FOREMAN, Associated Press Writer
http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20090418/ap_en_ot/as_china_people_jackie_chan (http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20090418/ap_en_ot/as_china_people_jackie_chan)

BOAO, China – Action star Jackie Chan said Saturday he's not sure if a free society is a good thing for China and that he's starting to think "we Chinese need to be controlled."

Chan's comments drew applause from a predominantly Chinese audience of business leaders in China's southern island province of Hainan.

The 55-year-old Hong Kong actor was participating in a panel at the annual Boao Forum when he was asked to discuss censorship and restrictions on filmmakers in China. He expanded his comments to include society.

"I'm not sure if it's good to have freedom or not," Chan said. "I'm really confused now. If you're too free, you're like the way Hong Kong is now. It's very chaotic. Taiwan is also chaotic."

Chan added: "I'm gradually beginning to feel that we Chinese need to be controlled. If we're not being controlled, we'll just do what we want."

The kung fu star has not been a vocal supporter of the pro-democracy movement in his hometown of Hong Kong. Since the former British colony returned to Chinese rule in 1997, voters have not been allowed to directly elect their leader. Several massive street protests have been held to demand full democracy, but Beijing has repeatedly said Hong Kong isn't ready for it.

The theme at Saturday's panel discussion was "Tapping into Asia's Creative Industry Potential," and Chan had several opinions about innovation in China.

He said that early in his career, he lived in the shadow of the late martial arts star Bruce Lee. He said that during his first foray into Hollywood, he struggled to establish his own identity, so he returned to Hong Kong. After spending 15 years building his reputation in Asia, Chan finally got rediscovered by Hollywood, he said.

Chan said the problem with Chinese youth is that "they like other people's things. They don't like their own things." Young people need to spend more time developing their own style, he added.

The action hero complained that Chinese goods still have too many quality problems. He became emotional when discussing contaminated milk powder that sickened tens of thousands of Chinese babies in the past year.

Speaking fast with his voice rising, Chan said, "If I need to buy a TV, I'll definitely buy a Japanese TV. A Chinese TV might explode."

what the fuck does he know about the plight of 1.1 billion people?  recognizing the imperfection of "freedom" (whatever the fuck that means) seems a little different from suggesting that an entire race of people are not genetically entitled to what he and the rest of the world enjoy.  he's not saying all societies need centralized control; but the Chinese do not deserve freedom.
and for dude with a Taiwanese wife, who had to hide in Taiwan when the triads were after him in the 80s, who carved his entire career out of Hong Kong when America was shitting on him, he had a lotta balls to shit on those two places like that.  BUT THAT's JUST JACKIE!

Terminator Salvation director McG says he's the biggest d--k in Hollywood
Source: SciFi Wire

As we reported in January, the relationship between Terminator Salvation director McG and Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen director Michael Bay has been a heated one. Bay has accused McG of mimicking his film's giant robots, to which McG fired back, "We'll see who the last man standing is."

Now McG has taken the war of the words between competing directors of summer blockbusters to the next level, according to men.style.com, which is the online home of the print magazines Details and GQ.

When the subject of Michael Bay came up, McG surprised his interviewer by saying, "Michael Bay has a big c--k, but I'd like to believe mine is bigger."

The director then smiled and added, "If he's up for it, we can both reveal ourselves on the Spartacus steps at Universal and put the question to rest."

As of this writing, Bay has not responded to McG's offer.

Keifer headbutts designer!!

Kiefer Sutherland has allegedly headbutted a fashion designer and broken his nose. The '24' star reportedly got into an altercation with Proenza Schouler designer Jack McCollough at an after-party for New York's Metropolitan Museum of Art's Costume Institute Gala at nightspot SubMercer on Monday night (04.05.09).

It has been claimed Kiefer approached Jack after seeing him knock actress Brooke Shields to the ground. Kiefer reportedly asked Jack to apologise, prompting the designer to push Kiefer. It is then alleged Kiefer headbutted Jack. However, Brooke's representative has denied she was involved in the incident.

The spokesperson told website TMZ.com: "Nothing happened to her. Jack did nothing inappropriate. It's not clear what caused Kiefer to do what he did. Jack did absolutely nothing to her." Police are currently investigating the incident, and Brooke will reportedly be interviewed by officers today (06.05.09).

Following the incident, Jack was taken to hospital where he is still receiving treatment. Kiefer, 42, was jailed for 48 days in 2007 after pleading no contest to driving under the influence (DUI). He is still on probation in Los Angeles following the incident.

Tom Sizemore arrested on drug warrant

LOS ANGELES - Los Angeles police say they arrested Tom Sizemore on a warrant issued on a court case in Central California.

Officer Norma Eisenman says officers arrested Sizemore and another man after coming across them while responding to an unrelated call early Thursday morning. Sizemore was arrested for an outstanding warrant issued in Bakersfield on a drug case from 2007.

Eisenman says another man who was with Sizemore was arrested on a drug possession charge, but that Sizemore was only booked on the warrant. Jail records show he has been released.

Court records in Bakersfield show that Sizemore's probation was revoked by a judge in April.

Several of Sizemore's one-time managers and an attorney said they no longer represent the actor.

Manager: Burt Reynolds treated for drug abuse

MIAMI - Actor Burt Reynolds has been released from a drug rehabilitation center where he was being treated for an addiction to painkillers, his manager said Wednesday.

The star of "Smokey and the Bandit," "Deliverance" and "Boogie Nights" began struggling after recent back surgery and "realized that he was in the prison of prescription pain pills," his manager Erik Kritzer said in a statement.

Kritzer said in a later e-mail message he did not know when Reynolds entered or left the Hanley Center in West Palm Beach. The facility's management declined comment, citing patient confidentiality.

Kritzer said Reynolds, 73, hopes his story will help others in similar situations and that they won't try to solve the problem by themselves. The actor lives in Hobe Sound, a wealthy beachside community north of Palm Beach County.

In the 1980s, Reynold's career was nearly destroyed when an injury and prescription drug abuse led to false rumors that he was infected with the AIDS virus. He hurt his jaw making the 1984 comedy "City Heat" with Clint Eastwood. Barely able to eat, he lost 50 pounds and looked ill and emaciated.

"For two years I couldn't get a job," Reynolds told the AP in 1990. "I had to take five physicals to get a job. I had to take the pictures that were offered to me. I did action pictures because I was trying to prove that I was well."

He was diagnosed with temporomandibular joint disorder, which affects the area that connects the jaw to the skull and can result in significant pain. Reynolds then confessed to a reliance on the sleeping aid Halcion.

He eventually regained his health and his career, first in the TV series "Evening Shade" and then as the porn movie impresario Jack Horner in the 1997 hit movie "Boogie Nights." He was nominated for an Oscar and won a Golden Globe for best supporting actor.

Arrest warrant issued for Randy Quaid in Calif.

SANTA BARBARA, Calif. - Authorities say an arrest warrant has been issued for actor Randy Quaid and his wife claiming they skipped out on a $10,000 hotel bill in Santa Barbara County.

Sheriff's spokesman Drew Sugars said Thursday the Quaids aren't in custody and detectives haven't been able to interview the actor.

He says the warrant for Quaid and his wife Evi set bail at $20,000 each. The felony warrant is for burglary, defrauding an innkeeper and conspiracy.

The department isn't releasing other details.

A message left for Randy Quaid's commercial agent, Steven Arcieri, was not immediately returned.

Report: Penelope Cruz & Javier Bardem Engaged

Oscar darlings Penelope Cruz and Javier Bardem are reportedly engaged.

According to various online reports, the 35-year-old actress is planning to walk down the aisle with the 40-year-old actor.

"They're telling friends they will get married," a friend of the couple, who reportedly heard the news directly from one of them, told The New York Daily News' Rush & Molloy.

Us Weekly also reported news of the couple's hush hush engagement.

"They tried to keep it very private and quiet," a source told the mag.

After the couple was spotted leaving an OB/GYN clinic in Madrid last month, many blogs and gossip Web sites wondered if the Spanish actress was pregnant - but another friend of the couple told the paper that the couple has shot down reports that she is expecting.

"They say the pregnancy stories aren't true," the friend said.

In August, the actress told Britain's Psychologies magazine that she wasn't sold on taking a trip to the altar, but that she felt strongly about starting a family.

"I don't know if I believe in marriage," she told the mag. "I believe in family, love and children. I want to have babies one day but not right now. When I do it I want to do it really well. I want it to be my best project in life."

Penelope's possible baby project might be unclear, but her next film project, "Nine," will hit theaters on November 25. Javier is currently working on the big screen adaptation of the popular book, "Eat, Pray, Love," with Julia Roberts.

When contacted by The New York Daily News, reps for both Penelope and Javier had no comment.

Racially charged Australian TV show skit offends Harry Connick, Jr.

An incident involving actor/singer Harry Connick Jr. during his appearance as a judge on an Australian variety show is causing an international stir. The evening turned tense when an act performed in blackface, prompting Connick - himself once entangled in the sensitive issue - to give some tough talk on-air.

The show in question, "Hey, Hey It's Saturday," is a bit of a cultural institution in Australia, having run from 1971 to 1999; Connick was on the show to judge a reunion special. The controversial skit involved five doctors, aka "The Jackson Jive," performing a parody of the Jackson Five. The group, host Daryl Somers told viewers, had performed the identical routine 20 years ago when they were medical students.

Here's the "Today" show segment on the incident. (Viewers should be aware that footage from the show and blackface skit is featured).

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zmaF7Pys7OI


After a visibly uncomfortable Connick gave the group a "0" for their performance during the judging portion, the show cut to commercial, when Connick made his alleged abrupt exit. Back on air Somers apologized for offending Connick, a New Orleans native whose musical schooling came from many of the city's African-American jazz musicians: "I know that to your countrymen, that's an insult to have a blackface routine like that on the show, so I do apologize to you."

In response Connick said: "We've spent so much time trying to not make black people look like buffoons, that when we see something like that, we take it really to heart ... If I knew that would be part of the show, I probably, I definitely wouldn't have done it."

His stance has garnered praise but the publicity's also resurrected an ironic incident from Connick's own past. In 1996 he slightly darkened his skin to portray an African-American preacher when he appeared as a guest on the American sketch comedy show "MADtv." Some comments, as noted in this Movieline.com post, have turned heated, with Connick a target. "If you want a perfect example of hypocrisy, then look at this skit," writes user Ranz Sunni of the YouTube clip of Connick's sketch.

In a statement on the firestorm Thursday Connick spoke for the performers and himself: "Those of you who have seen my shows or seen me in several comedic skits on TV know that I have absolutely no problem with comedic send-ups or making fun of myself or others ... I do not believe that the performers intended any harm."

Gary Coleman arrested on an outstanding warrant in Utah

Gary Coleman -- and we assume his penis as well -- was arrested Saturday night and remains behind bars today.

Police in Santaquin, Utah, outside Salt Lake City, were called to the former child actor's home on a report of a domestic disturbance, but no evidence of a crime was found; he was taken into custody, however, because of an outstanding failure-to-appear warrant from 2009.

All this after Coleman, less than two weeks ago, settled a personal-injury suit with a man who said Gary tried to run him over with his truck in a bowling-alley parking lot. And it's not the first time the police have been called to Gary's place -- his wife, Shannon Price, was taken in last year and charged with misdemeanor domestic violence and disorderly conduct.

Anyone out there going to step up with Gary's $1,750 get-out-of-jail-on-bail bond? After all, that comedy club guy did post $60,000 for Andy Dick over the weekend.

Coleman: 'I was replaced by ugly body double'

Gary Coleman is urging fans to boycott his latest movie Midgets Vs. Mascots after accusing producers of using an "ugly" body double in his full-frontal scene.

The diminutive actor was furious after learning a scene in the 2009 comedy appeared to show him revealing all - and now he's threatening to sue the studio to prevent further DVD sales.

Coleman alleges he never agreed for his private parts to be revealed in the final cut - and insists the actor who stands in for him doesn't do him justice.

He tells EOnline.com, "I wanted all my fans to protest my penis being in the movie, because I didn't want that. It's a body double, I believe, because I certainly was not gonna do this. And I heard that the body double is ugly, and is unattractive, and does not make me look good."

The former Diff'rent Strokes star has had a rocky start to 2010 - he was hospitalised on Wednesday after suffering a seizure while conducting an interview on the phone.

Rip Torn charged with breaking into Conn. bank

SALISBURY, Conn. – Actor Elmore "Rip" Torn has been charged with breaking into a Connecticut bank and carrying a loaded handgun while intoxicated.

State police say the 78-year-old Salisbury resident was arrested Friday night after police found him inside the Litchfield Bancorp with a loaded revolver.

The "Men in Black" actor has been taken into custody and booked on charges including burglary and possession of firearm without a permit. He is being held on $100,000 bond and is scheduled for a Monday appearance in Bantam Superior Court.

Last year, Torn was given probation in a Connecticut drunken driving case and granted permission to enter an alcohol education program. He also has two previous drunken driving arrests in New York.

A spokesman for Torn did not immediately return phone calls Saturday.

John McTiernan Headed To Jail For Lying About Wiretapping 'Rollerball' Producer, Not For Actually Making Film
Source: Playlist

John McTiernan has been handed a one-year sentence for committing perjury during the trial of P.I.-to-the-stars Anthony Pellicano. During the investigation into Pellicano's nefarious dealings, it came to light that McTiernan hired him, paying $50,000 to wiretap "Rollerball" producer Charles Roven. McTiernan inititally lied to the FBI about his involvement. He ended up initially pleading guilty in 2007 and being sentenced to four months in prison. However, he withdrew his plea, was ordered to have a new trial and has now ended up being sentenced to one year. He's also been fined $100,000 and ordered to serve three years probation. He is currently out on bond and his lawyers plan to appeal. Well, at least something interesting came out of the dreadful "Rollerball." The once hotly in demand action director --"Predator," "Die Hard," "The Hunt For Red October" all bear his name --hit the skids with both "Rollerball" and "Basic," and of course, this very trial. Last month it was reported he was set to return behind the camera to direct the action pic "Shrapnel."

Chris Brown rages after TV interview about Rihanna

Chris Brown allegedly exploded in a rage after an interview on Good Morning America today (March 22), in which he was asked about Rihanna.

In 2009 Brown was charged with two felonies as a result of an attack on his then-girlfriend Rihanna. When asked by presenter Robin Roberts about the incident he repeatedly attempted to try and steer conversation back to his new album, 'F.A.M.E'.

Watch footage of the interview by scrolling down and clicking below.

TMZ.com quotes a source as saying that that after the interview Brown "freaked out, storming into his dressing room screaming so loud that the people in hair and make-up became alarmed and called security".

Brown was then said to have "smashed a window in his dressing room", ripped off his shirt and refused to do another performance he was scheduled to do for ABC.com.

Sources says that Brown confronted a producer and "got in his face and stared him down".

The singer tweeted from Twitter.com/chrisbrown: "I'm so over people this past shit up! Yet we praise Charlie Sheen and other celebs for their bullshit." He later deleted the tweet.

Following the incident Roberts claimed she had got the OK from Brown to ask him about Rihanna before she started the interview.

Planet of Apes' actress arrested in Los Angeles

LOS ANGELES -Actress Estella Warren is facing a slew of charges after a late-night crash that led to her allegedly assaulting a Los Angeles police officer then trying to escape custody. Officer Sarah Faden said Tuesday that Warren, famed for her roles in "Planet of the Apes" and "Kangaroo Jack," crashed into three separate cars parked in the city's Wilshire area. A resident heard the crashes, called police then pursued Warren and forced her to stop. Faden says when police arrived, Warren was arrested on suspicion of DUI. She then allegedly assaulted an officer so was re-arrested for felony battery. At the police station, Warren allegedly slipped out her handcuffs then ran out of a holding area before being recaptured. A call to Warren's manager was not immediately returned.

French actor Gerard Depardieu urinates in plane in front of passengers after toilet locked


The 62-year-old actor was caught short on a delayed flight from Paris to Dublin on Tuesday evening, but his demands to be allowed out of his seat fell on deaf ears according to another traveler speaking to French radio station Europe 1 on Wednesday morning.

"Je veux pisser, je veux pisser," implored Depardieu, according to Daniele, who was among the 127 passengers on board the Air France jet left reeling by the antics of the giant of the French screen.

"The attendant said 'I'm sorry, you'll have to wait fifteen minutes, [when] we'll be in flight. The toilets are locked'," Daniele added. Depardieu said he could not wait, unzipped his trousers and proceeded to urinate on the carpet.

"You could tell he'd been drinking," the disgusted passenger claimed.

French actor Gerard Depardieu urinates in plane in front of passengers after toilet locked


The 62-year-old actor was caught short on a delayed flight from Paris to Dublin on Tuesday evening, but his demands to be allowed out of his seat fell on deaf ears according to another traveler speaking to French radio station Europe 1 on Wednesday morning.

"Je veux pisser, je veux pisser," implored Depardieu, according to Daniele, who was among the 127 passengers on board the Air France jet left reeling by the antics of the giant of the French screen.

"The attendant said 'I'm sorry, you'll have to wait fifteen minutes, [when] we'll be in flight. The toilets are locked'," Daniele added. Depardieu said he could not wait, unzipped his trousers and proceeded to urinate on the carpet.

"You could tell he'd been drinking," the disgusted passenger claimed.

Matthew Fox Accused of Assaulting Female Bus Driver

Matthew Fox got into some trouble in Cleveland, Ohio, on Saturday. The Lost star was detained by police there for allegedly assaulting a female driver of a party bus. Fox allegedly tried to get on the bus even though he wasn't invited to take a ride, according to TMZ, and when the woman tried to stop him, he allegedly punched her. An off-duty officer handcuffed Fox and then police took him into custody. A rep for the Cleveland police department confirms that the actor "was detained, but there was no arrest made." According to the police report, the woman punched back and gave Fox a bloody lip. His rep couldn't be reached for comment.

Avril Lavigne says her 'face is fucked' after barroom brawl

Avril Lavigne has claimed her "face is fucked" after she was reportedly attacked by five people in a hotel bar over the weekend.

The Canadian singer has revealed she was the victim of an unprovoked attack from five people after becoming involved in an argument with a woman at the Roosevelt Hotel in Hollywood in the early hours of Sunday morning (November 6), according to Jam.

Lavigne, who was with her reality TV star boyfriend Brody Jenner at the time, says she was left with a black eye, a bloody nose and other injuries after the scuffle.

The singer took to her official Twitter account to deny she started the fight, writing:

I don't fight. I don't believe in it. To clear things up I got attacked by 5 people last night out of nowhere. Not cool. My face is fucked.
She went on to expand upon her injuries by adding: "As in black eye, bloody nose, hair ripped out, scratches, bruises and cuts. So not ok to be abusive to others. Violence is NEVER the answer."

The incident is not the first time this year that Lavigne has found herself the victim of violence. In August, she was attacked onstage in Brazil when a female fan climbed onstage and attempted to grab or perhaps embrace the singer.

In September, meanwhile, a man was convicted of second degree murder after he stabbed his mother nine times during a row over Avril Lavigne tickets.

Lavigne released her fourth studio album 'Goodybe Lullaby' in March of this year. The record was the follow-up to her 2007 LP The Best Damn Thing.

Courtney Love storms offstage after gig goer holds up picture of Kurt Cobain – video

Courtney Love stormed offstage during Hole's performance at Brazilian festival SWU on Saturday night (November 13) after a crowd member held up a picture of her late husband Kurt Cobain. You can watch a video of the incident by scrolling down to the bottom of the page and clicking.

The singer spotted the picture during the band's set on the New Stage at the Sao Paulo festival and told the crowd member that their behaviour was "stupid and rude" and that they didn't have to live with Cobain's "ghost and kid" every day.

Speaking in between songs, Love said to the crowd member: "I don't need to see a picture of Kurt asshole and I'm going to have you fucking removed if you keep holding that up. I'm not Kurt, I have to live with his shit and his ghost and his kid every day and throwing that up is stupid and rude and I'm going to beat the fuck out of you if you do it again."

She continued: "You weren't fucking married to him, I fucking was. You didn't get kicked out of a band by him, like Dave, he did. Go see the fucking Foo Fighters and do that shit."

Love then stormed offstage for just over one minute, but returned after a member of her entourage demanded that the crowd chant: "The Foo Fighters are gay". She then returned and offered a new, thinly veiled dig at Dave Grohl, telling the crowd: "I don't care what you listen to at home, but if a guy takes off money off my kid's table, fuck him."

Hole are currently touring the world and recently pulled out of a planned stint on Australia's Soundwave Festival after Courtney Love discovered that her band would be below Limp Bizkit on the bill.

I can't even begin to dispute the claims that he was killed because I haven't really looked any further into it outside of what's described in the Kurt & Courtney documentary ( which I thought was bogus! ) but it really irks me how they try to make the point that "Kurt was not suicidal,"  just because some accounts of people close to him said he seemed fine, that happens all the time with suicide cases. I actually think I read in Charles Cross's book "Heavier than Heaven" that suicide ran in Kurt's family and he even told a kid when he was younger that he planned to become a famous rockstar and then kill himself, but that could be as close to hearsay as what's on that site. Stupid, stupid, site.

Courtney Love rants about Foo Fighters' Dave Grohl – video

Courtney Love has slammed Foo Fighters singer Dave Grohl in the aftermath of her onstage rant at Brazil's SWU festival last weekend (November 13) – scroll down to the bottom of the page and click to watch.

The Hole singer stormed off the stage at the Sao Paulo bash after a crowd member held up a picture of her late husband Kurt Cobain during the gig, and only returned after her entourage convinced the crowd to chant: "The Foo Fighters are gay".

She then made a thinly veiled dig at the former Nirvana drummer, telling the audience: "I don't care what you listen to at home, but if a guy takes off money off my kid's table, fuck him."

In an interview recorded after the show, she continued to criticise Grohl for making money from the Nirvana name even though he "didn't write one fucking note" for the band.

"I wasn't in Nirvana," she said. "However, I do own Nirvana, with my daughter, and because of tax laws I have to give money to his sister, Kim Cobain, and [Kurt's mother] Wendy Cobain."

She then went on to add:

Dave makes $5 million a show, he doesn't need the money – so why the fuck does he have a Nirvana Inc. credit card and I don't? And last week, he bought an Aston Martin on it.

The singer also claimed that Kim Cobain was homeless and lived under the same bridge Cobain mentioned in the track 'Something In The Way' from their 1991 album 'Nevermind', and also downplayed Grohl's significance to Nirvana, adding: "He didn't even write the drum riff for 'Smells Like Teen Spirit'. Kurt owns 100% of that publishing."

She concluded by saying: "Forget me, I make tons of money - my daughter and Kim Cobain, Wendy Cobain and [Kurt's half-sister] Brianne Cobain is what I care about."

Hole are currently touring the world and recently pulled out of a planned stint on Australia's Soundwave Festival after Courtney Love discovered that her band would be below Limp Bizkit on the bill.

Michael Madsen, who appeared in Quentin Tarantino's Kill Bill and Reservoir Dogs, was arrested following a fight with his teenage son. Madsen, 54, the brother of actress Virginia Madsen, was booked at a Los Angeles County Sheriff's station on a felony charge of child endangerment with cruelty to a child and released on $100,000 bail. He was arrested Friday afternoon at his Malibu home by deputies responding to a family disturbance call. Detectives from the Special Victims Bureau were following up on allegations the actor was intoxicated and fighting with his son, who didn't require medical attention, according to the Sheriff's Department.

Dave Grohl denies seducing Kurt Cobain and Courtney Love's (the WILD ONE!) daughter Frances Bean

Courtney Love accused the Foo Fighters frontman of hitting on the teenager

Dave Grohl has denied accusations levelled at him by Courtney Love, who said that he had tried to seduce her teenage daughter Frances Bean Cobain.

Grohl, who played in Nirvana with Frances' father Kurt Cobain said in a statement: "Unfortunately Courtney is on another hateful Twitter rant. These new accusations are upsetting, offensive and absolutely untrue."

Love made the accusations last night on Twitter, saying that her daughter's roommate had told her that Grohl had "hit on Frances" and added that she thought the Foo Fighters frontman was "sexually obsessed" with Kurt, who killed himself 18 years ago.

The posts were made on Love's private Twitter account, @cbabymichelle, but gossip website Gawker made the posts public on its own site.

According to Gawker, she wrote: "I hear from Frannies roommate that @davegrohl hit on Frances, and that she was curious, I'm not mad at her, him I am about to shoot dead." She also said that "dave tried to fuck me a lot" but added that he was "sexually obsessed w kurt not me".

Courtney Love and Dave Grohl have never seen eye to eye, with Love accusing Grohl of wasting Nirvana's money. Last month she also accused The Muppets of "raping" the legacy of Kurt. According to TMZ, the Hole singer was outraged that Kermit and co covered the classic Nirvana track 'Smells Like Teen Spirit' in the 2011 flick The Muppets, for which she says they did not seek her permission.

Love, who recently revealed that she had asked U2 singer Bono to provide her with a character reference so she could rent a new house, claims that she owns the rights to Cobain's music and has the power to approve whether they can be used in commercial projects.

I figured the prop person or whoever handles the guns should be responsible. And it looks like that person was way underqualified and shouldn't have been handling guns on any set.

Baldwin bears zero responsibility for what happened as the actor in that situation, but he might in his role as a producer, on a production that was clearly cutting corners with necessary protocols.

The clearest blame lies with the armorer, both for having live ammo on set and leaving it unsecured and unattended, and with the AD who apparently took the weapon and handed it to Baldwin outside the purview of the armorer. But that sequence of events would only be possible as the result of a set culture that emphasized speed and thrift over safety, and that falls squarely on the producers, and to a certain extent the director.

The moral of the story is: ban functional firearms from film sets. No live rounds, no blanks, nothing that's capable of firing a projectile or activating a combustion reaction. There are very good replica firearms that use compressed air to simulate recoil and muzzle slide, and (speaking as a VFX artist) adding muzzle flash and smoke in post-production is trivial for anyone with a modicum of experience. No one ever needs to die for the sake of making a movie. Ever.

Alec Baldwin Was Rehearsing Pointing Gun at Camera, Affidavit Says (https://www.nytimes.com/2021/10/24/arts/baldwin-shooting-details.html)

The film's director gave the most detailed account yet of how Alec Baldwin fatally shot the cinematographer of "Rust" to a detective who included it in an application for a search warrant.

Oct. 24, 2021

ALBUQUERQUE — The director of "Rust" told investigators that he had been standing beside the film's cinematographer as the actor Alec Baldwin sat in a wooden church pew, rehearsing a scene in which he draws a gun and points it at the camera lens, according to an affidavit released Sunday night. The director, Joel Souza, said he then heard what "sounded like a whip and then loud pop."

Mr. Souza saw the cinematographer, Halyna Hutchins, grabbing her midsection and starting to to stumble backward before noticed he was bleeding from his shoulder. He and Ms. Hutchins had been shot by the lead actor in their film.

The new details emerged on Sunday night when the Santa Fe County Sheriff's Office released an affidavit used to obtain a search warrant to seize everything from camera memory cards to bone fragments and firearm discharge residue from the production site outside Santa Fe where the shooting took place on Thursday.

The details, woven together by Detective Joel Cano, provide a chilling account of how the shooting materialized on a production set that had been beset by accidental gun discharges and labor disputes between producers and crew members.

"Upon making contact I did observe a visible injury to his right shoulder," Detective Cano said in the affidavit, describing how he had interviewed Mr. Souza on Friday afternoon, after the director had been treated for his injury. Ms. Hutchins, who sustained a gunshot wound to the chest area, had already been pronounced dead on Thursday at University of New Mexico Hospital in Albuquerque.

Mr. Souza told the detective about the protocols for firearm safety on the set. He said the guns are typically checked by the film's armorer, Hannah Gutierrez-Reed, and checked again by Dave Halls, the assistant director, who would then hand the gun to an actor. Mr. Souza said no one got searched for live ammunition on their person before or after scenes were filmed.

"Joel stated there should never be live rounds whatsoever, near or around the scene," Detective Cano wrote in the affidavit. They had been working on the same scene before lunch, and after lunch, Mr. Souza said, he was unsure whether the revolver had been rechecked.

Mr. Souza was grappling with delays the day of the shooting, after about six members of the camera crew had quit over late pay and safety conditions, the affidavit said. Another crew had quickly been hired, but the production was off to a late start because of the labor problems. Mr. Souza said only one camera was available for recording before the shooting.

Asked about how the employees were behaving, Mr. Souza told investigators that "everyone was getting along" and that there had been "no altercations" to his knowledge. He said that the crew broke for lunch before the shooting and had to be shuttled to a nearby area to eat. When they returned to the set, Mr. Souza said he was not sure if the firearm had been checked again.

The affidavit also includes notes from an interview with Reid Russell, a cameraman who was standing near Ms. Hutchins and Mr. Souza when the gun discharged.

Mr. Russell told the detective that after returning to the set from lunch, he had stepped outside for about five minutes; when he returned, according to the affidavit, Mr. Baldwin, Ms. Hutchins and Mr. Souza were setting up the scene and were already "in possession of the firearm." Mr. Russell said he was not sure if the firearm had been inspected because he had been absent for those five minutes.

According to the affidavit, Mr. Halls grabbed the revolver from a gray, two-tiered tray set up by Ms. Gutierrez-Reed. Mr. Halls handed the gun to Mr. Baldwin and shouted, "cold gun," which on a film set typically refers to an unloaded firearm.

While setting up the scene, the crew had to reposition the camera because there was a shadow. Mr. Russell told the detective that Mr. Baldwin was explaining how he was going to draw the gun, pulling it out from the holster, when the firearm discharged.

Mr. Russell said that Mr. Baldwin had been "very careful" with the firearm; during an earlier scene, Mr. Russell said, Mr. Baldwin had tried to ensure safety on set, making sure that a child wasn't near him when he was discharging the gun. When Mr. Russell was asking about how members of the production team were behaving as they set up the scene, he said "everyone seemed to be getting along."

Mr. Souza, the director, told the detective that because the crew had been setting up the scene when the gun discharged, the incident had not been filmed.

After the firearm was discharged, Mr. Russell told the detective he "remembered Joel having blood on his person, and Ms. Hutchins speaking and saying she couldn't feel her legs."

QuoteThe details, woven together by Detective Joel Cano, provide a chilling account of how the shooting materialized on a production set that had been beset by accidental gun discharges and labor disputes between producers and crew members.

QuoteMr. Souza was grappling with delays the day of the shooting, after about six members of the camera crew had quit over late pay and safety conditions, the affidavit said.

Veteran prop master turned down 'Rust' film: 'An accident waiting to happen' (https://www.latimes.com/entertainment-arts/business/story/2021-10-25/prop-master-alec-baldwin-rust-accident-waiting-to-happen)

QuoteNeal W. Zoromski has spent three decades in Hollywood, working on movies big and small, but never on a western. So he was thrilled last month when he was asked to join the crew of an Alec Baldwin film in New Mexico.

The veteran prop master immediately told "Rust" production managers that he was interested in the job that would give him responsibility for the accoutrements of the Old West. Pistols, rifles, wagons, saddles and flour sacks were needed to re-create 1880s Kansas for Baldwin, who was playing a grizzled outlaw named Harland Rust.

But during four days of informal discussions with film managers, Zoromski said he got a "bad feeling."

"There were massive red flags," he said in an interview Sunday with The Times.

He said he felt that "Rust" was too much of a slapdash production, one with an overriding focus on saving money instead of a concern for people's safety. Production managers didn't seem to value experience and were brushing off his questions, he said.

Zoromski ultimately told "Rust" production managers that he would take a pass.

"After I pressed 'send' on that last email, I felt, in the pit of my stomach: 'That is an accident waiting to happen,'" he said.

QuoteNow, Zoromski, who lives in Los Angeles, is haunted by Hutchins' death. He believes that had he accepted the "Rust" job, things would have turned out differently.

"I take my job incredibly seriously," he said. "As the prop master, you have to be concerned about safety. I'm the guy who hands the guns to the people on set."

QuoteHe said he felt that "Rust" production managers were being "evasive" when he asked about specific terms of his potential employment. The budget, estimated at about $7 million, seemed too small for the type of film the producers were attempting to make. He couldn't get an answer on the budget for his "kit," industry jargon for his cache of props needed to stock the set.

He said he also became alarmed because it was just two weeks before "Rust" was set to begin filming in New Mexico and the producers hadn't yet hired a prop master. Typically, those decisions are made weeks, even months, before the cameras roll.

"In the movies, the prep is everything. ...You also need time to clean, inspect and repair guns," he said. "You need time to fix old clocks. In period films, you are sometimes using antiques. But here, there was absolutely no time to prepare, and that gave me a bad feeling."

Let's see if this will post:

The day Alec Baldwin shot Halyna Hutchins and Joel Souza
(Jim Weber / Santa Fe New Mexican via Associated Press)
SANTA FE, N.M.  —


"What the f— just happened?"

Alec Baldwin repeated the words again and again with growing urgency as the sound of the shot reverberated throughout the wooden church.

Mere seconds before, the actor had been preparing to film a scene in which he, as a grizzled 1880s Kansas outlaw, becomes involved in a shootout in a church. He was just going through the motions, giving the camera crew a chance to line up their angles.

"So," he had said, placing his hand on the Colt .45 revolver in its holster, "I guess I'm gonna take this out, pull it, and go, 'Bang!'"

No projectile was supposed to be in the firearm. Just a dummy round that contained no gunpowder. Baldwin was simply showing the director and the cinematographer of "Rust," a low-budget indie western film, what he was going to do when cameras began rolling.

Instead, he shot them.

A lead bullet flew out of the weapon Baldwin had been assured was a "cold gun." It hit cinematographer Halyna Hutchins, who stumbled back, falling into the arms of the head electrician. As she was laid to the ground, she could see the blood pouring from her chest. Behind her director Joel Souza was also down, clutching his shoulder; the bullet had gone through Hutchins' body into his.

"What the f— was that? That burns!" Souza screamed.

Baldwin put the gun down on a church pew. He looked down in horror at his two injured colleagues, repeating his initial question like a mantra.

"Medic!" someone yelled, as various crew members huddled around Hutchins, trying to stanch the bleeding. A boom operator looked into her eyes. "Oh, that was no good," the sound guy said.

"No," Hutchins replied. "That was no good. That was no good at all."

Within hours, she would be pronounced dead.

On Oct. 21, at 1:49 p.m., Santa Fe County emergency crews were summoned to Bonanza Creek Ranch in response to a shooting that would leave the entertainment industry reeling. Hollywood loves nothing more than a good war story, a tale of the difficult conditions that a cast and crew face, the daring chance a director took to get the take, the film made on a shoestring budget that becomes an unexpected hit.

But this was no war story; this was every filmmaker's worst nightmare. A "one-in-a-trillion episode" is how Baldwin described it to paparazzi who'd tracked him down Saturday, a week later, in a small Vermont town.

"There are incidental accidents on film sets from time to time, but nothing like this," he told the photographers Saturday. "We were a very, very well-oiled crew shooting a film together and then this horrible event happened."

The death of Halyna Hutchins and wounding of Souza came just a few days after Hollywood's crews union had threatened to strike if producers didn't take their concerns about safety seriously, and left everyone echoing the question Baldwin had cried into the chaos.

How did this happen? What had gone wrong?

Detectives are still investigating key questions, including who loaded live ammunition in the FD Pietta Colt .45 that Baldwin fired.

"I think there was some complacency on the set, and I think there are some safety issues that need to be addressed by the industry and possibly by the state of New Mexico," Santa Fe County Sheriff Adan Mendoza said last week at a news conference.

Mendoza said that New Mexico 1st Judicial Dist. Atty. Mary Carmack-Altwies would determine whether to bring charges in the case.

A Los Angeles Times reconstruction of the events leading up to Hutchins' death has uncovered new details about that Thursday, and the days leading up to the shooting in that wooden church about 13 miles south of Santa Fe. As has been previously reported by The Times, the inexperience of the armorer had raised concerns from the first day on set, as did conflicts between the production managers and the camera crew. A cascade of bad decisions appeared to create a set chaotic even by its low-budget status. A set in which, against all production regulations, live bullets were not only present but several had been loaded into a prop gun.

"The safety of our cast and crew is the top priority of Rust Productions and everyone associated with the company, " Rust Movie Productions said in a statement the day after Hutchins' death. "Though we were not made aware of any official complaints concerning weapon or prop safety on set, we will be conducting an internal review of our procedures while production is shut down."

This report is based on interviews with 14 "Rust" crew members, including nine who were at Bonanza Creek Ranch the day Hutchins was shot, records from Santa Fe County, Santa Fe film permits and emails, text messages and internal communications from the "Rust" production. It is the most comprehensive account to date of a day that ended in tragedy, and raised concerns about the decisions made regarding safety on the set. Already, there have been calls for new laws and regulations regarding the handling of firearms on sets.

Most crew members who spoke with The Times asked to remain anonymous given the sensitivity of ongoing investigations. Scenes described in this article were based on the accounts of at least two people, unless otherwise noted. Two members of the "Rust" camera crew provided on-the-record interviews.

"It always felt like the budget was more important than crew members," Lane Luper, the A-camera first assistant, said Saturday in an interview with The Times. "Every thing was about the schedule and the budget."

At 6:10 a.m. on Oct. 21, the first camera assistant operators and technicians for the film "Rust" began arriving at Bonanza Creek Ranch. It was the 12th day of the 21-day film production.

Other crew members who had parked their cars near base camp, about half a mile from the security gate, had already lined up in the catering tent. Standing in the 37-degree cold, early arrivals got their breakfast sandwiches in the dark. The crust on the bread was so hard that it broke off. But at least there was food available; it had been known to run out some days.

The camera crew skipped the meal, figuring it would be tacky to eat given their pending resignations. The camera operators went straight to the trucks near the edge of the set. After more than a week of wrangling with the film's producers over working conditions and safety, six members of the camera team were about to walk off the set.

Bonanza Creek Ranch is a 1,000-plus-acre high desert spread near the site of an old silver mining ghost town, Bonanza City, which dried up a few years after its formation in 1880.

Since the early 1950s, the privately owned site has been a popular destination for movie production. Jimmy Stewart's 1955 "The Man from Laramie" was filmed there. Paul Newman flirted with Katharine Ross near a ranch barn in 1969's "Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid."

Bonanza Creek Ranch was also where Hannah Gutierrez Reed, the 24-year-old armorer on "Rust," fell in love with film. Her dad, an industry-renowned gun expert, brought his daughter, then in the fifth grade, to the location when he worked on the 2007 outlaw flick "3:10 to Yuma."

In this part of New Mexico, yellow signs directing crew to productions have become as much a part of the landscape as the scrubby green sagebrush. Many members of the New Mexico-based crew for "Rust" live in Albuquerque, nearly 50 miles away.

Early on, camera operators — members of the IATSE Locals 600 and 480 — asked the film's Atlanta-based production managers for hotel rooms. They didn't want to spend an extra two hours driving to and from Albuquerque on Interstate 25, a rural four-lane highway with a 75-mph speed limit.

They had been assured hotel rooms would be provided, and during the first week of production, rooms were available to those who wanted them.

But, at the start of the second week, camera crew members were told they would no longer receive hotel rooms, according to Luper, who was the camera crew department head. Others from production were moved to the Coyote South, a former Super 8 motel, where rooms go for about $55 a night. Luper and another crew member were each given a night's stay at another hotel during the second week of production, he said.

Late Saturday, a spokeswoman for the producers said hotel rooms were provided to camera operators and other crew members. But, she said, IATSE's contract requires producers provide rooms only if workers spent more than 13 hours a day on the job — or if an individual crew member lived more than 60 miles away. The Albuquerque crew members lived 49 to 54 miles from set.

During the second week of production, producers consulted with the IATSE Local 600 shop steward, who wrote in an Oct. 13 email that the accommodations being offered seemed "fair," said a person close to the production.

Luper discussed the hotel situation with Hutchins over dinner Oct. 15; she treated Luper and others to sushi. She said the issue had been resolved; Hutchins had forfeited a day's rental of a technocrane, which enables photographers to get aerial shots, to expand the budget for lodging.

Other concerns plagued "Rust" from its inception. Crew members were not being paid, Luper said, and many described an overly rushed mentality on the set. Even production managers expressed concern about the capabilities of the set's sole armorer, Gutierrez Reed.

She was responsible for all the guns on set and had worked as head armorer on only one film previously. Unit production manager Katherine "Row" Walters felt that "apparently props and armor require handholding," according to a screenshot of an internal Oct. 8 Slack message.

Before Hutchins was killed, crew members say, there were three accidental discharges of weapons on set. Baldwin's stunt double had accidentally fired a blank after being told that his gun was "cold." A young woman from the props department "actually shot herself in the foot," Luper said, adding that the round was a blank.

According to her attorneys, Gutierrez Reed "fought for training, days to maintain weapons and proper time to prepare for gunfire, but ultimately was overruled by production and her department... The whole production set became unsafe due to various factors, including lack of safety meetings."

There had been other red flags. There was no medic on-site during pre-production; a medic's presence is standard practice in the film industry when crew members are constructing sets. A spokesman for 3rd Shift Media, which was running the unit production, declined to comment.

"Somebody dropped a countersink bit and it stabbed me in the hand. I had to take care of it myself and I'm still healing from it," one person said, describing an accident that occurred while constructing the hanging gallows on set.

Once filming began, Luper and other crew noted that safety bulletins were not sent out with call sheets, despite that also being standard practice in Hollywood. The producers' spokeswoman said there were notations on the "call sheet" that referenced the guns to be used that day.

Tensions continued to build. The Sunday before the fatal shooting, the schedule had run from noon to midnight. The film permit dictated that there be "no significant disturbance of terrain and/or vegetation" on the chaparral-covered arroyo, so the crew had to haul heavy equipment — one piece weighing 140 pounds — through a tight area where vehicles were not allowed. The afternoon sun was punishing. Gusts of wind pelted their gear with fine powdery dirt.

The camera crew stayed until 1:30 a.m. gathering their equipment, which was scattered around the site. Then they had an hour-long drive home. One camera assistant spent part of the night in his car in the parking lot, Luper said.

On Wednesday, that camera assistant, who lives in Albuquerque, requested a hotel room. The issue is a sensitive one for camera operators because they typically have to spend 30 minutes to an hour after "wrap time," gathering and cleaning the cameras. During a separate film project in 2018, Luper said he had fallen asleep behind the wheel.

When he was told no, the tension hit a breaking point.

"We said: 'OK, they really don't care about us,'" Jonas Huerta, a digital utility technician, said.

In fact, within the "Rust" production office, the request for hotel rooms for crew members had been treated as a joke. So much so that someone on the production staff had ordered custom black long-sleeve T-shirts, with "Error 404: Housing Not Found" and "ABQ is an hour away" printed on them. A photo of the shirts, which someone with knowledge of the situation said arrived at the production office Thursday morning, was shared with The Times.

None of this was known to the camera crew, five of whom composed emails to Walters late Wednesday night saying they intended to resign.

Walters did not respond to repeated requests for comment.

"I have to wake up early and commute to set, my job is very physically demanding and I am beyond exhausted by the time I wrap," Huerta wrote in his email to Walters. "I've found myself nodding off or having to take micro naps on the roadside just to get home safe."

His safety concerns also extended to the weapons on set.

"I also feel anxious on set, I've seen firsthand our [assistant director] rush to get shots and he skips over important protocols," Huerta wrote in his email. " He often rushes to shoot, I've had more than a few occasions where I have been close to the weapons being fired with no regards to my hearing. Sometimes he rushes so quickly that props [department] hasn't even had the chance to bring earplugs and he rolls and the actors fire anyway."

Huerta's email was sent Wednesday at 9:15 p.m.

"If it wasn't for the hotel, we would have stuck it out," he told The Times.

At 6:30 a.m. on Thursday, having skipped their breakfast, the "Rust" camera crew hopped into the 10-ton truck that contained all the camera equipment, separating their personal equipment from the gear that had been rented by the production managers. They worked more than an hour to disassemble cameras, monitors and carts.

Hutchins, the cinematographer, and Dave Halls, the first assistant director, arrived.

Hutchins seemed confused that her camera crew was packing up. She was under the impression the hotel room issue had been resolved.

"We felt bad leaving because of Halyna," one of the camera technicians recalled. "I was torn. We all really liked her."

Hutchins tearfully gave Luper a big bearhug. "I feel like I'm losing my best friends," she told him.

But they were not moving quickly enough for Gabrielle Pickle, the line producer in charge of production. She was the last to join producers who were standing in a semi-circle behind the truck, arms folded, watching the technicians pack up their gear.

Sometime around 7:50 a.m., Pickle ordered the camera crew "to work faster," Huerta said. She pointed at Luper and said: "You need to get out this property immediately, or I will call security," Luper recalled.

The sun was now up, and four replacement camera operators, including three non-union ones, had been trickling in. At least two looked like "they were fresh out of high school," Luper said.

Halls ushered Hutchins away, saying they needed to go prepare for the first morning shot.

The Ukrainian-born cinematographer had forged an unlikely path to Hollywood, working as an investigative journalist on British documentary productions before turning to film. She graduated from the prestigious American Film Institute Conservatory in 2015 and was named as one of American Cinematographer's Rising Stars four years later. At 42, she appeared on the cusp of a breakout career.

"Did you hear camera walked?" someone whispered to a friend as people clustered around heaters in the cold. The group's actual exit had happened quietly, with no public scene, and some crew members didn't realize anything had happened. The only difference some of the actors noticed was that just one camera was being used to film them.

The first setup of the day required only a single camera. But the staging was complicated, with all the main cast, save for Baldwin, riding horses together into the old western town. Setting it up took longer than expected.

Around 8 a.m., everyone gathered in the middle of the faux western town for a safety meeting.

"It was no different from any other safety meeting, and no different from a safety meeting I'd expect to have on a film like this," an attendee recalled.

When filming began, Hutchins was positioned right in the middle of the road, her eyes glued to the monitor.

"I can't imagine what it was like for Halyna to have to continue with what she did and keep a positive attitude," a crew member said of that morning.

Baldwin's call time was 7:54 a.m.

He liked to drive himself to set with his assistant in the passenger seat. The actor was a feared-but-respected presence on set, and crew members said the energy shifted whenever he arrived. Everyone tried to stay out of his eye line, lest they be a distraction.

Filming moved into the wooden church in the late morning for a handful of setups. After the last establishing shot of Baldwin was in the can, lunch was called.

Actors remained in costume in the giant catering tent, taking great care not to spill any of the Thai noodles on their frontier-style clothes as they ate. (Though the good thing about a western, one said, was that if you did get some food on your pants, you could always just rub it in and hope it passed for dirt.)

The meat of the day's filming, including a shootout that would require pyrotechnics and smoke, was scheduled after the meal break.

After the meal, property master Sarah Zachry retrieved the guns that would be needed for the scene from a truck, where the weapons were stored inside a locked safe. The ammunition was also in the truck, but had been left unsecured on a cart during the break, according to a search warrant affidavit filed by the Santa Fe County Sheriff's Office on Oct. 27.

Baldwin had taken pains to make his gun work look realistic. A few days earlier, he'd gone into the church to walk through what it would be like to use the weapon in the scene. The live rounds he fired contained blanks, but still made enough noise that crew members were startled.

"Alec was pretty concerned about safety on set," said another camera technician.

"He wanted to know where I would be standing when he drew his gun," this person said. "I told him I was going to be standing in a different place, and he said, 'Good.'"

That Thursday, the crew began preparing for the scene before Baldwin had returned from his lunch break. Gutierrez Reed entered the church with the firearms, performing a safety check with the Colt .45 in front of Halls. He thought he saw three rounds inside the gun, but he did not check them before taking the weapon in his hand.

He told investigators that "he should have checked all of them, but didn't, and couldn't recall if she spun the drum," according to the affidavit.

The armorer left the church.

No stand-in performers were on site, so the first assistant director ran through Baldwin's blocking himself, pulling the gun three times. Russell, a B-Cam operator, watched the action unfold from a monitor on his dolly. Hutchins stood over his shoulder, flanked by Souza.

Because of the walkout, the team was working with fewer monitors than usual. The 10-inch screen in video village wasn't great quality, so the filmmakers opted to review the optics on the dolly's monitor, which was seven inches but had higher resolution.

During the scene, Baldwin's character was supposed to fast-draw his weapon and shoot at a rival. Halls had not pulled the gun's trigger during the run-throughs he performed.

But when Baldwin entered the church to do a quick rehearsal, he apparently did.

The bullet barely missed Russell before hitting the DP and the director. The trio was about two feet from the muzzle of the weapon.

A dummy round, which contains no gunpowder and doesn't fire, would look nearly identical to a bullet when the camera peered down the barrel of the revolver Baldwin was holding, with none of the lethal capabilities.

If the rounds had been checked as they went into the gun, Halls would have seen that at least one lacked the small hole or indent that visually differentiates dummies from bullets. He would have also noticed that it didn't make the signature rattling that proves there's only a BB — and no gunpowder — in the dummy round.

Shock rippled through the church. Sixteen crew members were stationed among the church pews. No one was wearing any protective gear — the noise-canceling headphones, safety goggles or furniture moving blankets often offered for scenes involving guns.

It was just supposed to be a dummy round.

Someone screamed and Hutchins fell to the ground instantly, as did Souza, though it was not immediately obvious that he had been hit.

"I was looking right at her, I could see an exit wound that immediately started pouring blood and that's when [people screamed] 'She's shot!' and everything went crazy," a crew member said.

"Let's clear everyone who doesn't need to be here out of here," Halls urged the crew.

Mamie Mitchell, the film's script supervisor, ran outside and called 911 from her cellphone. It was 1:46.

"Bonanza Creek Ranch. Two people accidentally shot on a movie set by a prop gun. We need help immediately," Mitchell said.

Less than 13 minutes after she hung up, the first Santa Fe County Fire Department emergency responders arrived on scene.

Crew members were shrieking. Sobbing. Shell-shocked. Production assistants, some in their early twenties, were busy guarding the church in an attempt to keep unnecessary parties out. Other young staffers were told to clear the road of crew vehicles, electrical wires and errant church pews so that the ambulances could drive directly up to the church when they arrived.

Down at base camp, a handful of actors were preparing for their scenes that afternoon. Through the window of his trailer, one performer heard a crew member receive an urgent-sounding message over the walkie-talkie: "There's been an incident. We called 911."

Still, the actor wasn't especially concerned. There was typically an overabundance of caution on movie sets. A production assistant asked the talent to remain in their trailers. "Don't take any photos. Don't text your friends. Let's keep this contained," the staffer advised.

But after about 10 minutes, the actors started getting restless. Some walked to the doors of their trailers to confer with one another. "Two people got shot? How? What the f— ?"

Back in Santa Fe, "Rust" production staff working out of a peach-colored office park plodded forward with payroll and travel logistics, not yet aware that anything was wrong.

On Slack, an internal messaging system used in the office, a production secretary pinged her bosses at 2:03 to say she had a quote ready from a vendor, but still needed to know about sending a truck to get the equipment. That same minute, the fire battalion chief radioed dispatchers to request a medical transport helicopter.

Two ambulances arrived around 2:08 p.m. After passing through the rusting white ranch gates onto unpaved dirt and gravel roads, the emergency vehicles all slowed to about 20 miles per hour.

Even when the helicopter began hovering over the ranch at 2:15. p.m. — just as Souza's ambulance prepared to depart for St. Vincent Regional Medical Center in Santa Fe — the gravity of the situation was difficult to absorb.

A crew member who'd left to run an errand was stopped at the front gate as she tried to drive back onto the ranch.

"Nobody's allowed to go up there except the police officers and ambulances," someone from the transportation department told her. They had to be joking, she thought.

"No," they said. "Someone has been shot."

As the first responders worked, police officers requested that all of the crew members who had witnessed the shooting sit for an interview.

"Starting crime scene logs," was noted in the dispatch record at 2:35 p.m. Everyone else was sent home, and detectives tied off the church area with yellow caution tape.

The aircraft remained on the ground until 2:50 p.m. It seemed like a long time to the actor. How bad could the injury really be if the helicopter stayed on the ground for over half an hour?

Hutchins would ultimately be pronounced dead at the University of New Mexico Hospital in Albuquerque, to which she had been airlifted.

Back at Bonanza Creek Ranch, Baldwin and about a dozen others sat on the back of a 5-ton truck, awaiting their interviews with police who were inside a faux saloon.

Down at base camp, people were spooked but attempting to remain calm. Trained to comfort with food, a craft services assistant began to pass out homemade trail mix.

Around 3:30, Baldwin returned to base camp. He had changed out of his costume and was wearing his street clothes. "I've never been handed a live weapon — ever," he told his peers, who circled around him. No one there tried to console him because no one there knew just how bad the accident had been.

By late afternoon, news that someone had been shot on a Santa Fe film set was ricocheting through New Mexico's tight-knit film community. People scrambled to text family and friends on other nearby sets, trying to confirm that they were safe.

Russell, the B-Cam operator who'd nearly been hit by the bullet, drove down to UMN Hospital to try to check on Hutchins.

Luper, the A-camera first assistant who'd quit that morning, picked him up. They were together at Luper's house when they learned of Hutchins' death from the news.

At roughly 5:30 p.m., production asked the remaining crew members who had driven themselves to set to form a long line with their cars and exit the ranch en masse.

A few local newspaper reporters had gathered on the street, and driving out altogether would make it more difficult for the media to reach anyone.

International media would descend on Santa Fe in the days that followed, with television crews perpetually stationed outside the sheriff's office and the entrance to the ranch.

Production crew gathered for a private memorial for Hutchins on Friday night in Santa Fe. At much larger vigils in Albuquerque on Saturday and Los Angeles on Sunday, remembrances conjoined with a broader reckoning around safety on sets.

Producers officially announced their decision "to wrap the set at least until the investigations are complete" in an email to crew members on Sunday night.

They were quietly trying to wrap production as the investigation unfolded. There was travel to book, rental equipment to return and a seemingly endless tally of things to be scanned, shipped or donated.

To-do lists were written and shared in Slack, where Pickle, the line producer, chimed in: "Any remaining alcohol donated to row and gabby!" Someone responded with a thumbs up emoji.

In another message, the line producer's assistant tasked a PA with donating the office lamps to Goodwill.

"No name or production," she wrote, "just [d]rop it and run."

But...there was a real bullet on set, why?
