Former Lost start sentenced in DUI

michelle_rodriguez.jpg On Wednesday Michelle Rodriguez was sentenced to six months in jail for violating her probation in a DUI case.

She failed to provide proof of completion of her community service. Not only that. She consumed alcohol three times while wearing an alcohol-monitoring device!

Rodriquez now has to report to Los Angeles County jail by December 24th. What a day to go to jail!

The judge – Daviann L. Mitchell, also added to the ruling that she’s not to be granted early release. She also must complete 30 days of road clean up duty.

This girls got a history of DUI arrests!

In May 2006 Rodriguez served only 4 hours and 20 minutes of a two month sentence at the Lynwood California jail. This was after she’d violated probation in her December 2005 DUI arrest in Hawaii.

In June 2004, Rodriguez had been placed on three years’ probation after pleading no contest to DUI and driving with a suspended license from two separate incidents in the Hollywood area in 2003.

Paris goes to Jail

Late Sunday evening Paris Hilton reported to jail where she’s expected to serve at least 23 days for violating probation.

She said in a statement released by her lawyer: “I am ready to face the consequences of violating probation. During the past few weeks I have had a lot of time to think and have come to realize I made some mistakes.

“This is an important point in my life and I need to take responsibility for my actions. In the future, I plan on taking more of an active role in the decisions I make. I want to thank my family, friends and fans for their continued support. Although I am scared, I am ready to begin my jail sentence.”

Hilton turned herself in to the Century Regional Detention Facility in Lynwood just south of Los Angeles.

She was booked, just hours after attending the MTV movie awards, at 11:38 pm. She had to surrender all of her possessions and then was strip searched prior to being issued a uniform. The booking process involved fingerprinting, being photographed, and a medical screening. She cooperated throughout the procedure.

“Ms. Hilton will be housed in a cell by herself and will be segregated, in a special housing unit, from the general population during her stay at CRDF,” the statement said.

Hilton was sentenced to jail on May 4 for violating the terms of her probation by repeatedly driving with a suspended license. She had been placed on probation after pleading no contest to reckless driving in a drunken driving case.

The judge had ordered her to serve 45 days but she could get out within 23 days if she behaves will incarcerated. She’ll have little to no contact with the general inmate population while in jail in order to ensure her safety.

She’ll eat all of her meals in her cell, and will in fact spend approximately 23 hours of each day within her 12 by 8 foot cell. She’ll have one hour for recreation each day.

Petition asks Schwarzenegger to pardon Paris

paris_hilton3.jpg I know I’m a bit late on this but this has got to be one of the stupidest things I’ve ever heard of! Paris Hiltons friend Joshua apparently started a petition,that co-incidentally went up on Paris’ Myspace page asking that California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger pardon her from her 45 day jail sentence.

As you probably know she was sentenced for violating her terms of probation by driving with a suspended license. the punishment, handed down by a Los Angeles Superior Court last Friday, is already under appeal.

On her Myspace page Paris went on to say “I urge all fans and supporters and all that are outraged by injustice to sign this petition,”.

An injustice? Did someone make her get behind the wheel?

The governors office hasn’t viewed the petition but his spokesperson, Aaron McLear told the Associate press on Tuesday “We’ll treat this as we would any other case of this nature, but it would be premature for the governor to get involved until the individual has exhausted his or her judicial remedies,” McLear said.

If she does get pardoned it will just go to show that celebrities or in her case socialites live by different laws that the rest of us.
