SHOULD AMY LOCANE HAVE GOTTEN MORE PRISON TIME?

Beautiful blonde Amy Locane appeared on the first season of Melrose Place in 1992 and her future seemed unlimited. But after a few movie (Cry Baby) and TV appearances, her career fizzled, and in 2008 she settled down in her home state, New Jersey, with a local businessman and volunteer fireman, Mark Bovenizer. They had two daughters and Amy was out of the limelight until 2010 when she had a horrible accident. Amy slammed her car into the passenger side of a vehicle turning into a driveway. She killed a woman and injured the woman’s husband. She was arrested for driving under the influence and could have gotten ten years in jail. The judge just sentenced her to three years, citing that her absence was a hardship for her young children, one of whom is mentally disabled. The victim’s family was distraught. How do you feel about the judge’s decision? (Above, Amy now and then)

Ashley Mattingly Crimes and Misdemeanors DUI Lane Garrison Playboy

LANE GARRISON WAS ARRESTED SIX DAYS BEFORE HIS PROBATION WOULD HAVE ENDED

Lane Garrison seems to be digging his own grave as fast as he can by associating with the WRONG people. He’s on parole for his 2007 DUI crime where a passenger was killed and he has served time. He fell for Playboy model Ashley Mattingly who unfortunately LOVES to party and encouraged him to do the same. They’ve been involved in two domestic tiffs – on Saturday she accused Lane of abusing her. His friends can’t imagine him being violent. There IS a tape that might or might not clear Lane. Meanwhile, he’s in jail because he can’t raise $50,000 bail. Ironically Lane’s probation had been scheduled to end in SIX DAYS! Now police say he could go away for life (three strikes.)

Lindsay Lohan must be thrilled. Another child star, Amanda Bynes, seems to have picked up where Lindsay left off. Ever since her DIU after side-swiping a police car last week, the “Hairspray” star has been clubbing with a vengeance. And she drives all the time! Here she is nonchalantly texting while her eyes should be on the road as she pulls away from Chateau Marmont. This won’t be the last we hear from HER.

Arrested Bobby Brown Booze DUI Whitney Houston

WHAT DOES BOBBY BROWN DRINK FOR BREAKFAST?

We certainly weren’t surprised to hear that Bobby Brown was arrested for a probable DUI at 12:20 PM today in Reseda, California. Readers may recall, we had an encounter with Bobby in a Beverly Hills elevator around a month ago and at 12:30 in the afternoon he REEKED of alcohol. (He was in a very good mood also) Not a lot of celebrities drink that early in the day but Bobby and Whitney both had a serious drinking problem that took a back seat to drug abuse. Driving drunk AND talking on the phone is a lethal combination and we’re glad he’s off the road.

Ava Sambora Drugs DUI Heather Locklear Hospital Substance Abuse

HEATHER LOCKLEAR HOSPITALIZED: NICE GIRLS HAVE PROBLEMS TOO

Poor Heather Locklear. Anxiety and depression seem to be ruling her life for the past few years. Her frightened sister just called 911 because Heather, 50, had mixed alcohol and prescription drugs and she was taken to the hospital. In 2008, Heather had a suicide scare and checked into a medical facility in Arizona for 30 days to treat her “anxiety and depression,” although it seems apparent that substance abuse was involved. She had a several DUI situations after that and she and her fiancee Jack Wagner split up a few months ago. She and her exhusband Richie Sambora share custody of their teenage daughter Ava, pictured above.

Bodyguards Crimes and Misdemeanors Drugs DUI George Michael Prison

GEORGE MICHAEL IS MAKING FRIENDS IN PRISON

Has George Michael not only lost his looks, but lost his MIND also? While serving his eight week DUI sentence in a UK prison, George made the acquaintance of a 280 lb, 6’3” career criminal named Robert Bleach. Bleach, responsible for a string of violent robberies, offered to protect George from other inmates – telling him if anyone messed with him, to mention his name, and they’d back off. Now George is considering hiring Bleach as his bodyguard when the robber gets out in January. Rehabilitation is nice, but what George Michael needs is a DRIVER.

Cy Waits Drai's Drugs DUI Fired Paris Hilton Steve Wynn

CY WAITS’ DYNAMIC CAREER IS STALLED THANKS TO ARREST WITH PARIS: HE’S FIRED!

It’s been a wild summer for Cy Waits. He started dating Paris Hilton (and achieved some notoriety) in June and he and his twin brother Jesse just got a huge promotion from Las Vegas boss Steve Wynn. The brothers have been successfully running Wynn’s nightclubs and when Wynn and Victor Drai recently parted ways – they took over Drai’s empire. The twins were on the fast track to incredible success until Paris pulled out her lip gloss. The resulting drug charges and Cy’s DUI rubbed Steve Wynn the wrong way and to no one’s surprise, word is out that he fired Cy. The future of his brother Jesse is unknown. Suddenly Cy isn’t the great catch he was when Paris started dating him.

Crimes and Misdemeanors DUI MTV Spencer Pratt Stephanie Pratt The Hills

STEPHANIE PRATT TO SPENCER PRATT AND MTV: MY DUI WAS A SET-UP!

Stephanie Pratt is seething in silence because she thinks her DUI arrest was a set-up masterminded by her brother Spencer Pratt and “The Hills” MTV producers. Here’s why: Ratings on the show have been dropping and producers and Spencer have been conspiring to create drama and get publicity for the stars. Sunday night they were filming for the show at Empire while Holly celebrated her birthday. The camera lingered on Stephanie drinking and they encouraged her to drink more. When it came time to leave, Stephanie hesitated because she IS careful about driving even if she drinks only a little, but Spencer and the producers assured her she was fine. A cop car was conveniently parked right out front and nabbed her before she drove 20 feet. She was only a fraction over the legal alcohol level. Stephanie spent a miserable night in jail. She believes that her “hitting rock bottom” with her drinking is just a plot created for benefit of the show. She’s privately FURIOUS but doesn’t know what to do.

Crimes and Misdemeanors DUI Hollywood Lane Garrison

WILL LANE GARRISON WORK IN HOLLYWOOD AGAIN?

Photo Credit: Pacific Coast News

Lane Garrison is still trying to do all the right things. First of all, he admitted his guilt. While he was in prison for the drunk driving accident that killed a teenage boy and injured two teen girls, he studied and was a model prisoner. We hear that recently he arranged to have separate private meetings with the families of his victims and he apologized profusely and begged for forgiveness. Lane will be on probation for four more years and we can’t help thinking he’s more sincere than Michael Vick. But will Hollywood give the “Prison Break” actor another chance?

DUI Lori Petty

TWO WHEELS ARE ENOUGH FOR LORI PETTY

Photo Credit: Buzz Foto

Lori Petty (“A League of their Own” and “Tank Girl”) is taking no chances today – she’s riding her bike instead of driving. She earned herself a DUI a few weeks ago when she had a minor collision in her car with a skateboarder. Lori is very low key – almost unrecognizable – in her yellow glasses and baggy clothes as she runs errands in Santa Monica.
