Former Lost start sentenced in DUI

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.

Kiefer arrested for DUI

by Tricia

What is with Stars and DUI’s these days?

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.

Britney Partying again

by Tricia

Britney’s back to her partying ways even though a judge has ordered that she have random drug testing.

Tuesday night Spears and Avril Lavigne were seen hitting the LA club scene. The singers were followed by a pack of paparazzi. Spears weas first spotted at Winstons with Lavigne, and then with friend Alli Sims.

The ladies left the club at about 1 am, but Spears was seen again later at the Hyde Lounge where she stayed until the club closed.

“They kept bringing (Spears) shots and so they were drinking,” says a Hyde observer. “She was dancing on the tables trying to be really sexy, even putting a black sock over her head as a hat, and putting on a show for everyone.”

Another observer saw what appeared to be alcohol in front of Spears but didn’t see her drink it.

Britney even drove to the police station at one point during the evening to complain about the paparazzi, but no action was taken.

The Judge in her custody fight with Federline found that she is “habitual, frequent and continuous” user of alcohol and controlled substances, and now must submit to random twice-weekly testing. Did this judgment tick her off and make her party more? Who knows?

Maybe she’s just getting the partying out of the way before she spends times with her kids again? Los Angeles Superior Court Commissioner Scott Gordon also ruled that both Spears and Federline may not consume alcohol or non-prescription controlled substances at least 12 hours prior to being with their children.
