Eddie Furlong Arrested

Actor Eddie Furlong, 33, probably best known for his stint as John Connor in the film, Terminator 2: Judgement Day, was arrested and booked in LA on Tuesday for allegedly violating an order of protection taken out by his estranged wife, actress Rachael Kneeland, last year. 

A spokesman for the LA City Attorney's Office said that Furlong was taken into custody on Tuesday morning while in court to attend a hearing on the order of protection, which Kneeland says the actor violated. 

Furlong is denying the allegations.

According to reports, in 2010, Furlong was ordered to stay at least 100 feet away from  Kneeland for three years, after she filed court documents stating that the actor had grabbed, bruised and pushed her, as well as threatened to have her beaten up with chains and baseball bats. 

At the time, Kneeland also stated that Furlong was a cocaine user and  his behavior was unpredictable.

Look for Furlong this month in The Green Hornet, which premieres in theaters on January 14 nationwide.

Arrest Warrant Issued for Randy Quaid

According to The Huffington Post, a judge has issued arrest warrants for both Randy Quaid and his wife, Evi, after the pair failed to appear at their court hearing on Monday. 

This all centers around their arrest last month, when the couple were charged with illegal squatting after they were found to be inhabiting a home in Montecito that the occupants claim no longer belong to the Quaids.

Weird.

Paris Hilton Arrested on Cocaine Possession in Las Vegas

 

According to TMZ, Paris Hilton was arrested during a traffic stop in Las Vegas outside the Wynn Hotel and Casino last night, where cops found an undisclosed amount of cocaine in her purse.

Hilton, who was a passneger in the vehicle, was reportedly charged with possession of a controlled substance and booked into the Clark County Detention Center.

She was later released.

KLAS TV in Las Vegas reported there was a smell of marijuana from the car, which may have prompted the search.

Michael Lohan Thinks Lindsay's 90 Day Jail Sentence is Harsh

  

Michael Lohan is desperately trying to overturn daughter Lindsay's "harsh" 90-day jail sentence by writing a letter to Judge Marsha Revel in an attempt to convince Revel to allow Lindsay to serve 6 months in rehab instead. 

During a hearing in Los Angeles on Tuesday, Judge Revel brought the hammer down on Lindsay, ruling that the actress had breached her probation relating to a string of drink-driving offenses by failing to attend court-ordered alcohol education classes and ordered Lindsay to surrender to court no later than July 20, where she will spend 90 days behind bars. Once she's released, Lindsay must commit to another 90 days in a residential rehab facility.

However, Michael Lohan says jail; is the last place his daughter needs to be, and has written a letter to the judge, seeking reconsideration of the sentence, and to allow Lindsay to spend six months in a treatment program instead.

Michael Lohan told Larry King:

"Any time in jail is harsh, especially for a young lady like Lindsay that doesn't need jail. I've been there mys elf, and I know jail didn't do anything for me with my addictions...I'm sorry. I'm just... a little upset...

"This girl needs a rehab. She needs help... If Lindsay's lawyer and Lindsay would have just listened to us, she would have been in a rehab, she would have been on her way to being clean and sober and have her life back. Instead, she got jail and - jail and rehab."

His lawyer, Lisa Bloom, added:

"I don't want there to be misinterpretation that Michael and I think the sentence was appropriate because we don't...and we sent a letter to the court today. We sent one previously, begging the court not to incarcerate her because I'm a pragmatist, Larry. What message does it send to someone if they go to jail for 84 minutes or for a day and a half? Mandated six months or longer in an in-patient treatment facility that knows what they're doing, a facility that will take her off all the drugs, the prescriptions, and otherwise, and then give her life back."

Lohan's mother Dina has also condemned the decision to send the star to jail, telling Popeater.com:

"This is so not fair to do this to my child."

In case you missed it, actress Lindsay Lohan will be spending the majority of the summer behind bars for failing to attend court-ordered alcohol education classes.

Lohan, who broke down in sobs during her court appearance on Tuesday in Los Angeles, has been sentenced to 90 days in jail. 

Judge Marsha Revelordered Lohan to surrender to court on July 20.  Judge Revel also declared that Lohan was in violation of her probation on a 2007 DUI arrest for skipping classes.

Lohan's alcohol education program director, Cheryl Marshall, took the stand at the hearing and testified that the actress had failed to attend nine court-ordered classes.  She also testified that Lohan came up with excuses that were "endless and disrespectful," however Lohan said she missed her classes due to missed flights and clothing line promotion. 

Marshall said Lohan also called to excuse herself, claiming her uncle had died and she had to fly to New York - just a week before Lohan flew to Cannes, France in May.

Vince Neil Popped for DUI in Vegas

 
LAS VEGAS (AP) -- Police say Motley Crue singer Vince Neil was arrested in Las Vegas on a drunken driving charge.

The 49-year-old rocker was being held at the Clark County jail pending a court appearance after his arrest early Monday. It wasn't immediately clear if Neil had an attorney.

Las Vegas police Officer Barbara Morgan confirmed the arrest, and an arrest record from Clark County, Nevada indicates that Neil (inmate No. 02593866) is being held on $2,000 bail and set for a hearing tomorrow.

Chris Klein Busted for DUI

 
Back in the day, he was the oh-so-serious love interest of actress Katie Holmes and flocked by screaming teenage girls everywhere, but now, actor Chris Klein, 31, is facing another kind of reality - earlier today, the actor was arrested for allegedly driving under the influence in Los Angeles.  

This makes the second time Klein has been popped for a DUI - the first time was in 2005.

Law enforcement sources told TMZ that Klein's blood alcohol level was almost three times the legal limit when he took a breathalyzer test.

Bail was set at $25,000.

Blast from the past: Pics below are from 2002, 2003 and 2004 - when Klein and Katie Holmes were #1 on the "Hollywood Cutest Couple" list.

Those were the days. *sigh*

Lohan Makes Bail, Stays Out of Jail

 
For those keeping track, the LA Times reports that Lindsay Lohan posted $200,000 to stay out of jail after she allegedly violated the terms of her probation. 

The LA Times says Los Angeles County Superior Court Judge Marsha Revel issued yet another arrest warrant on Wednesday and ordered Lohan to post $200,000 bail to avoid detention after she allegedly violated the terms of her probation over the weekend.

While Judge Revel did not offer specifics of the parole violation, the Times snitches that the warrant was issued after Lohan's alcohol-detection device (also known as SCRAM) went off, suggesting that the actress had imbibed in some off-limit alcoholic libations while attending a party after the MTV Movie Awards on Sunday, however Lohan insists that she was not drinking that night and that the whole thing is  just a simple "misunderstanding."

She took to her Twitter page in an attempt to clear things up:

"My SCRAM wasn't set off. It's physically impossible considering I've done nothing for it to go off. All of these false reports are absolutely wrong. I'm not misguided and the tabloids and press are liars."

The LA Times reports that information about Lohan's alcohol use was contained in a report prepared by SCRAM executives and then given to Judge Marsha Revel before an unscheduled hearing on Tuesday.

A warrant was issued for her arrest last month after Lohan failed to appear in court because she was in France attending the Cannes Film Festival and claimed she couldn't locate her passport in time for her appointed court date. At that time, the judge made allowances for Lohan, letting her post bail and in doing so, rescinded the arrest warrant.   Lohan was then ordered to wear the alcohol-detection device.

Lohan, who is currently on probation for a DUI stemming from an incident in 2007,  is expected to appear in court on July 6.

Paula Deen's Maid Caught Trying to Pawn the Family Jewels

You just can't find good help these days...

Celebrity chef Paula Deen's former maid has been arrested for allegedly stealing at least $100,000 in jewelry from Deen's home in Georgia.

Yesterday morning, the Savannah Morning News reported that the maid, Mary Alice White, 47, was arrested twice in May after she allegedly tried to sell some of the jewelry at two different pawn shops.  The website reports that Savannah-Chatham police were called to Deen's Wilmington Island home on May 3 after her husband reported about $100,000 worth of men's and women's jewelry had turned up missing. 

Deen's husband told police that the housekeeper had been caught with some of the stolen items and was then fired. 

According to police reports, White was arrested on May 5 on theft charges after trying to pawn a pair of $18,000 earrings at a Savannah pawn shop. Later, on May 13, she was arrested again after information from another pawn shop alerted authorities that the former maid once again tried to pawn a $7,000 Rolex watch and a $2,500 bracelet.

Jackson's Doctor to be Charged Monday

Michael Jackson's personal physician is to be charged Monday in connection with the singer's June 2009 death, Los Angeles prosecutors said Friday.

Media reports this week speculated when Dr. Conrad Murray might be formally charged with involuntary manslaughter. Although prosecutors have announced Murray would be charged Monday, People.com said they did not specify what charges he will face.

Also unclear is whether Murray will be allowed to surrender at a police station for booking and post bail, or if he will be arrested and transported to a courthouse in handcuffs, People.com said.

I'm surprised Murray wasn't arrested earlier this week. It will be interesting to see how this plays out.
