Pics of Heather Locklear's arrest

Looks like Ms. Locklear had some trouble getting into the cop car.







What went down:

Struggling even to stand up, these pictures shows Dynasty actress Heather Locklear being helped from a police car after being stopped for driving under the influence of prescription drugs. Officers were called after Locklear was seen revving her engine loudly and repeatedly reversing over a pair of sunglasses in a car park in Santa Barbara, California. She then stumbled about in moving traffic, it is claimed.

Police made the 47-year-old balance on one foot to see if she was sober - but she had to steady herself on a road sign.

Police said a witness, who didn't recognise the star, reported that she had stopped on a nearby highway and left her car, apparently stumbling into traffic. Alcohol was ruled out after tests but Locklear was charged with driving under the influence of prescription medication and released on £2,700 bail.

Patrol spokesman Tom Marshall said following the call from the resident, an officer found Locklear's car parked on a state highway and blocking a lane in Montecito, a wealthy community about 90 miles northwest of Los Angeles. She was believed to be alone in the car, Marshall said. [The Daily Mail]

So much work

Everytime I see Dita von Teese I cringe at the amount of time it must take for her to get ready. I mean, she looks like this all. the. time. I've seen paparazzi pics of her just out and about and she's made up like this. What kind of time does she have? Well, she probably has the time, but what about the energy? Shit, if I'm tired or lazy, sometimes I don't shower. Never mind getting myself all dolled up just to go pick up milk. Dita at some event. That top hat looks ridiculous. It looks like its made out of hair.

Wow...

Heather Locklear was arrested on DUI charges. That is some mugshot.

Heather Locklear was arrested on suspicion of driving under the influence Saturday evening in Santa Barbara County, Calif.

"Around 4:30 p.m., a female witness saw Heather Locklear driving erratically while leaving a parking lot in Montecito," California Highway Patrol spokesman Tom Marshall tells PEOPLE. "The witness said Locklear was revving her engine loudly, and backed over a pair of sunglasses several times."

Soon after, the witness – who apparently didn't recognize the actress – spotted Locklear, 47, stopped on a nearby highway, exiting her vehicle.

"The witness called 911 because she was concerned for Locklear's safety," Marshall said. "When a CHP officer arrived, Locklear was found seated inside her vehicle, which was partially blocking the roadway."

Because Locklear appeared "disoriented and impaired," she was taken to a local CHP station and drug and alcohol tests were administered, Marshall said. The actress was cooperative.

"Alcohol was ruled out as a factor, but based on the officer's observations, we believe Locklear was under the influence of prescription medication," Marshall added.

Locklear was arrested on suspicion of DUI and being under the influence of a controlled substance. She booked at a local jail around 7 p.m., and released hours later.

The actress's lawyer, Blair Berk, wasn't immediately available for comment. Locklear's publicist had no comment.

Just two months ago, Locklear left an Arizona treatment facility after battling anxiety and depression. [People]

Tina Fey does it again...

In case you missed last night's SNL, Tina Fey and Amy Poehler were at it again. This time, Amy doing her best Katie Couric. Poor Tina, I hope she gets her wish and she only has to play this nutjob another few weeks.

Welp... the knot has been tied

Just found out that Scarlett and Ryan have gotten hitched in a quiet wedding in Canada. There are limited details right now but we'll post as they emerge. I dunno, I don't want to be pessimistic but since finding out that these two were engaged, I got a weird feeling that A) they may never make it to the alter, or B) it won't last very long if they do. So we'll see. In the meantime, I'm wondering if any pics will be released.

OK. I'm gonna say it...

No one else is, so I have to. I really thought this kid would be cuter. Considering the DNA. Not trying to be mean, just an observation. That's all. Take a chill pill. Relax.

Jimmy Kimmel's a Funny Bastard

"I hope the Claymates, God bless their souls, don’t take this too hard. If it's any consolation, there’s no way he could have married all of you."

An Open Letter to George Michael...
Get yer shit together, mate.
--Joan.

George Michael has fled the UK after being arrested for drug possession.

The Faith singer left his mansion with partner Kenny Goss carrying six suitcases before heading to London Luton Airport. It is believed the 45-year-old star is on his way to his favourite retreat in the South of France, but George’s publicist could not confirm his destination, saying: "We don’t know where he is going." ... George ... was found in possession of crack cocaine and marijuana on Friday last week after a public toilet attendant tipped off police. But officers decided to let him off with a warning after he "showed remorse" and said further charges would ruin his career. He later pleaded to his fans for forgiveness, saying in a statement: "I want to apologise to my fans for screwing up again, and to promise them I'll sort myself out. And to say sorry to everybody else, just for boring them."[stuff nz]

ACHTUNG! NEIN! VERBOTEN!

Ezah you in or you auf! Looks like Project Runway won't be able to sneak out the back door of Bravo any time soon... Ach du lieber Gott!

The deal to move the hit cable reality show “Project Runway” from the Bravo network to the Lifetime network was thrown into uncertainty on Friday when a New York State Supreme Court judge granted NBC Universal, the owner of Bravo, a preliminary injunction stopping the deal. The judge, Richard B. Lowe III, ruled favorably on NBC’s claim that it should get relief because the Weinstein Company, the owner of “Project Runway,” closed a deal with Lifetime without granting NBC a last opportunity to match the terms of the deal, a right NBC claimed its contract guaranteed. The decision stunned parties on all sides of the deal because such injunctions are so rarely granted in entertainment industry disputes. NBC executives said the decision meant the judge had concluded that NBC would win the case on its merits. In the short term the decision means that “Project Runway” cannot be presented on Lifetime, nor marketed and promoted by that network. Nor can Lifetime offer any spinoffs of the show, as it had planned.... All parties in the case are expected to convene with the judge again on Oct. 15 to set a schedule for the trial. There is always a chance that NBC and the Weinstein Company will come to some settlement out of court that will resolve the dispute. [nyt]

A great one passes...

Paul Newman, dead at 83. He'll be missed not only for his body of work, but for his generosity, kindness, and decency. Rest in peace, Paul.

Legendary actor Paul Newman dies at age 83
Saturday September 27 9:16 AM ET

Paul Newman, the Academy-Award winning superstar who personified cool as an activist, race car driver, popcorn impresario and the anti-hero of such films as "Hud," "Cool Hand Luke" and "The Color of Money," has died. He was 83. Newman died Friday after a long battle with cancer at his farmhouse near Westport, publicist Jeff Sanderson said. He was surrounded by his family and close friends.... He got his start in theater and on television during the 1950s, and went on to become one of the world's most enduring and popular film stars, a legend held in awe by his peers. He was nominated for Oscars 10 times, winning one regular award and two honorary ones, and had major roles in more than 50 motion pictures, including "Exodus," "Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid," "The Verdict," "The Sting" and "Absence of Malice." Newman worked with some of the greatest directors of the past half century, from Alfred Hitchcock and John Huston to Robert Altman, Martin Scorsese and the Coen brothers. His co-stars included Elizabeth Taylor, Lauren Bacall, Tom Cruise, Tom Hanks and, most famously, Robert Redford, his sidekick in "Butch Cassidy" and "The Sting." He sometimes teamed with his wife and fellow Oscar winner, Joanne Woodward, with whom he had one of Hollywood's rare long-term marriages. "I have steak at home, why go out for hamburger?" Newman told Playboy magazine when asked if he was tempted to stray. They wed in 1958, around the same time they both appeared in "The Long Hot Summer," and Newman directed her in several films, including "Rachel, Rachel" and "The Glass Menagerie"...Newman had a soft spot for underdogs in real life, giving tens of millions to charities through his food company and setting up camps for severely ill children. Passionately opposed to the Vietnam War, and in favor of civil rights, he was so famously liberal that he ended up on President Nixon's "enemies list," one of the actor's proudest achievements, he liked to say....In 1982, Newman and his Westport neighbor, writer A.E. Hotchner, started a company to market Newman's original oil-and-vinegar dressing. Newman's Own, which began as a joke, grew into a multimillion-dollar business selling popcorn, salad dressing, spaghetti sauce and other foods. All of the company's profits are donated to charities. By 2007, the company had donated more than $175 million, according to its Web site. In 1988, Newman founded a camp in northeastern Connecticut for children with cancer and other life-threatening diseases. He went on to establish similar camps in several other states and in Europe....Newman is survived by his wife, five children, two grandsons and his older brother Arthur. [yahoo]

Joan and Melissa's Red Carpet Rundown... Emmy's 2008

The red carpet was a flourish of color this year... lots of brights, lots of flowy numbers. Here's some of the best and the worst from this year's primetime emmy's... enjoy!

Joan: I loved this, too. Just flowing and ethereal. Very lovely. (Olivia Wilde)



Joan: Alan Cumming is on the worst dressed list for this -- but he's just being Alan Cumming. I would have done w/o the sneakers...


Joan: My vote for worst dressed. From the slicked back hair to the fringe and that god-awful bow... ugh... just sickening.


Joan: Reminds me of a quote from the Producers "I'm supposed to be the Queen and I look like the Chrysler Building!"


Joan: Drapes. Some damask is just not right for dressmaking. OOOf.

Joan: I can't believe this disaster is Carolina Hererra! Oh, for shame!!! Ugh.

Finally

The Gaykin confirms what we already knew...



This makes wonder what's gonna happen to all those mom-jean-wearing, MidWestern middle-agers who may not be so cool with all this gayness. Clay does address this in the People article:

Following the Aug. 8 birth of his son Parker, singer Clay Aiken is following through on a promise he made to himself as a new dad: to publicly acknowledge that he's gay.

"It was the first decision I made as a father," Aiken, 29, tells the upcoming issue of PEOPLE, on newsstands Friday. "I cannot raise a child to lie or to hide things. I wasn't raised that way, and I'm not going to raise a child to do that."

Aiken says he expects the news may overwhelm some of his fans. "Whether it be having a child out of wedlock, or whether it be simply being a homosexual, it's going to be a lot," said Aiken, who returned to Broadway last week as Sir Robin in Monty Python's Spamalot.

He adds that he hopes his fans "know that I've never intended to lie to anybody at all. ... But if they leave, I don't want them to leave hating me."

How He Came Out to His Family

The born-again Christian singer also reveals how he told his mother Faye he's gay four years ago. After dropping off his younger brother Brett, who was being deployed to Iraq, at Camp Lejeune, "I started crying in the car," Aiken remembers. "It was dark. I was sitting there, thinking to myself. I don't know why I started thinking about it ... I just started bawling. She made me pull over the car and it just came out."

So what was his mom's reaction? "She started crying. She was obviously somewhat stunned. But she was very supportive and very comforting." Even now, Aiken admits, "She still struggles with things quite a bit, but she's come a long way."

As for his own child, Aiken tells PEOPLE that Parker – who was conceived via in vitro fertilization with his best friend, music producer Jaymes Foster – will be raised in an environment that is "accepting and allowing him to be happy."

Says Aiken: "I have no idea if he'll be gay or straight. It's not something I'll have anything to do with, or that he'll have anything to do with. It's already probably up inside the code there ... No matter what the situation you're in, if you're raised in a loving environment, that's the most important thing." [People]
