Kiefer arrested for DUI

Kiefer Sutherland is the latest celebrity to have been arrested on suspicion of driving under the influence. He was arrested early Tuesday morning in Hollywood.

Kiefer was pulled over at about 1 a.m. after he made an illegal U-turn. He failed the subsequent field sobriety test.

He was booked at the LAPD Hollywood station and was released at 5:42 a.m. on $25,000 bail.

A court date of Oct. 16 was set.

A rep for Sutherland said Tuesday: “It would be premature to comment at this time.”

Kiefer was convicted of a DUI in 2004 and because of that conviction he now faces a mandatory minimum sentence of four days in jail if he’s convicted for this latest arrest.

Sutherland is also currently serving a five-year probation term for the prior DUI. If a judge deems the actor violated those terms, “Sutherland could get up to 60 days in jail or worse, depending on varying circumstances,” according to DUI lawyer Lawrence Taylor.

Previous arrests have come to light:

In 1989, he was arrested for DUI and carrying a concealed and loaded weapon. In a deal with prosecutors, he pleaded no contest to alcohol-related reckless driving, and the other charges were dropped.

In 1993, he was arrested for DUI, and again, pleaded out the same way. He was given the option of serving 12 days in jail or performing 211 hours of community service, and opted for the latter.

Tom and Katie cause photo riot in Saint-Tropez

tomkat180.jpg Why does it always look like Tom is pulling Kate?

Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes still seem to incite the paparazzi. The much photographed couple recently made an unexpected midnight visit to Saint-Tropez kicking off what one veteran paparazzi dubbed as “a genuine photo-riot.”

A crowd of 500 to 600 people built outside the club and when the couple tried to leave the paparazzi went into their photo frenzy.

Katie and Tom had spent the evening inside the club dancing together the whole night.

The couple, who’d been cruising the Mediterranean with their billionaire friends James and Erica Packer, came ashore around midnight at a small beach near the Papagayo restaurant where they got into cars and headed for the VIP Room.

Club owner Roch states “Last night was one of the biggest crowds we’ve ever seen. But we hope to do even better tonight. George Clooney’s coming.” This from the man who hosted Eva Longoria and Tony Parkers bachelor party as well as Diddy’s annual celebration.

Lohan’s Birthday party cancelled

I don’t get what all the fuss is about Lindsay Lohan’s 21st birthday party. She went into rehab at Promises Treatment Center on May 28th. Don’t tell me people really expected her to either get a day pass or be out of rehab in time for her 21st birthday party that was supposed to have been held at PURE in Las Vegas?

Of course it’s canceled.

Pure was still promoting the party, but it’s been officially canceled for two weeks.

“But Lindsay will not be having the birthday party at PURE and is focusing on her recovery 100%.” Says Lindsay’s rep.

Lindsay had to promise a future appearance at the club in order to cancel her birthday festivities.

Apparently The Georgi Car service has offered free chauffeur services to both Paris Hilton and Lindsay Lohan so that they won’t ever get another DUI.
