Kanye West Not Ready to Apologize for Airport Fight
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Music, Legal Issues, Videos,
Although it’s been almost a month since he was detained at LAX, Kanye West does not appear he’s about to get past that incident anytime soon.
Back on September 11 (a horrible date for any airport arrest), the musician and his road manager were both arrested for damaging a photographer’s equipment. Although West has since been cleared of a felony charge (he only destroyed a relatively inexpensive lighting component), he could still be slapped with a misdemeanor. (It’s unclear what charges his partner-in-crime might still be dealing with.)
Needless to say, Kanye wasn’t entirely thrilled about being questioned recently by another paparazzo:

Heather Locklear Arrested for DUI
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Television, Drunk, Legal Issues, Photos, Mug Shots,
UPDATE: Thanks to a plea deal, Heather has been given three years probation.
Three months after seeking treatment for anxiety and depression, actress Heather Locklear was arrested for a DUI. The 47-year-old was detained by the California Highway Patrol on Friday after a witness called 911.
Locklear, who was originally spotted driving erratically in a parking lot, was later seen parked on the side of the highway. According to the police report, “The citizen became concerned when Ms. Locklear exited her vehicle and stumbled into the traffic lane.”
This incident happened almost exactly 6 months after Heather’s ex-husband, Richie Sambora, was pulled over for drunk driving.
Although alcohol was not a factor in Locklear’s case, it’s believed the disoriented star had been under the influence of prescription medication at the time. Heather was later booked at the Santa Barbara CHP office where she eventually posted $5000 bail.

Video of Kanye West’s Airport Scuffle
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Music, Legal Issues, Videos,
UPDATE: Kanye may now be charged with a misdemeanor instead of a felony.
I’ve always heard that Kanye West knew how to put on a show, and now we have the video to prove it.
The musician and a road manager were arrested this morning after an incident earlier this morning at LAX. According to TMZ, West (in a grey hoodie) for some reason became angry when he saw a still photographer trying to do what he does. Instead of brushing him off, West reached the pap’s $10,000 camera and eventually smashed it into the ground.
When Kanye’s road manager (Don Crowley) realized that another photographer was rolling on the scuffle, he then grabbed that videographer’s camera and broke it too.

Pineapple Express Star Busted for Drugs
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Movies, Television, Drugs, Legal Issues, Mug Shots,
UPDATE: Robinson has reportedly entered a “tentative guilty plea” in court. This will allow him 18 months to complete a drug counseling program.
Believe it or not, a Hollywood-related arrest can go unnoticed for quite some time.
According to TMZ, Craig Robinson, one of the star’s of Pineapple Express, was pulled over back in June after committing a traffic violation. After searching the vehicle, the actor was subsequently arrested for drug possession.
Robinson, who also plays Darryl in The Office, has since been charged by the L.A County D.A.‘s office for possession of meth and ecstasy and being under the influence of cocaine, amphetamines and cannabinoids.
Coincidentally, this news comes shortly after Shelley Malil, an actor who starred in The 40-Year-Old Virgin, was arrested for stabbing his girlfriend. Should we now start blaming these two incidents on the Curse of Steve Carell?

Hairspray and America’s Next Top Model Stars Arrested
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Movies, Television, Legal Issues,
UPDATE: Nikki and Bianca will not face any charges stemming from the incident. Carl Blonsky could still face up to 5 years in jail.
What is up with the women in Zac Efron’s life? First, Vanessa Hudgens embarrasses herself with her nude photos. Now Zac’s on-screen lady, Nikki Blonsky, has just gotten herself in trouble with the law!
According to Us Weekly, the Hairspray star was arrested after getting into a fight at an airport. Interestingly enough, the brawl also involved Blonsky’s father and Bianca Golden’s family. Who’s Bianca Golden? Why she’s the short-haired beauty who placed fourth on America’s Top Model 9.
Wednesday’s incident in Turks and Caicos supposedly started after Nikki tried saving seats for her family in the airport’s lounge. This somehow lead to the confrontation with the Golden family. When the fight ended, both women wound up being charged with assault. Blonsky’s father was also charged with “grievous bodily harm” for allegedly attacking Bianca’s mother.
Both Nikki (who was just seen sporting a neck brace) and Bianca are currently out on bail while Carl Blonsky currently remains behind bars for a few more days. All parties will eventually have to return to the area for a court appearance.

LaBeouf Reportedly Not to Blame for Crash
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Movies, Drunk, Legal Issues, Breaking News,
After escaping charges for being drunk at a Chicago Walgreen’s and for puffing away where he wasn’t supposed to, it’s now looking Shia LaBeouf could luck out again.
According to the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department, it appears the actor was not at fault for Sunday’s accident at all. Spokesman Steve Whitmore says the driver of the other vehicle actually ran a red light and caused Shia’s vehicle to flip. (You can see video of his overturned car here.)
But this isn’t to say the 22-year-old will get away without at least a slap on his injured wrist. Although he may not have been the cause of the crash, that doesn’t mean he wasn’t driving drunk. Officers report that he exhibited “obvious signs of intoxication” at the scene.
LaBeouf - who has not yet been arraigned on any DUI charges - is expected to return to the set of Transformers 2 within a month.

Shia LaBeouf Talks About Being Wasted
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Movies, Television, Drunk, Legal Issues, Videos,
Given the news about Shia LaBeouf’s recent DUI, this interview he gave back in May really doesn’t seem that funny.
On Late Night with David Letterman, the 22-year-old promoted Indiana Jones and gave a detailed explanation for his drunken arrest at a Chicago Walgreen’s. While the actor did admit to being “a moron,” he also lovingly referred to alcohol as “special magic sauce.”
When asked what he learned about his run-in with the law, LaBeouf eerily said: “Drinking and driving is one thing, but drinking and shopping…it’s just as bad.”
