I’ll admit it. Late at night, when I can’t sleep, I hit-up TV Land to rewatch the shows from my youth. And nothing is more satisfying than a little time with Jack Tripper and the girls. Apparently, the girls know how to party.

“Three’s Company” star Joyce DeWitt was busted for DUI over the holiday weekend. The actress, who is now 60 (YIKES!), drove through a barricade before stopping for police.

Via TMZ:

“Law enforcement sources tell us DeWitt drove past a barricade Saturday afternoon — and when an officer approached her, she smelled like booze. She was given field sobriety tests and then arrested for suspicion of DUI.”

And you all thought Chrissy was the wild one. Janet, next time call for a cab.

Jessica Simpson Picks Up BFF Lane Garrison from Prision

April 28, 2009 By Holly Stafford 3 Comments

Ex “Prison Break” star Lane Garrison is making a break from it – No, he’s not breaking out of the Richard J. Donovan Correctional Facility in San Diego, California where he has been living out his sentence since December 2007. The former actor will be a free man, scheduled to be released tomorrow from prison. But just who will be there to pick up the convict when he’s released? Rumor has it that its none other than childhood friend Jessica Simpson.

Per National Ledger:

“Jessica wanted to pick Lane up herself, but she can’t,” her pal explains. “So she hired a limo for a few friends to be there once Lane walks out.”

Wow, a limo to pick you up from prison? Something about that just screams trashy! I guess he is a high class felon. However, I find it hard to view this idiot as anything but “Tweener” from the local Ace Hardware store. But then again this IS Jessica Simpson we’re talking about…. Anything for publicity!

Garrison is being released from prison after serving roughly half of his sentence for a 2006 DUI crash that left one of his teenage passengers dead and injured two others. He was sentenced on Oct. 31, 2007, to 40 months in state prison, deducting the 91 days for time spent in custody before sentencing, after pleading guilty to felony vehicular manslaughter and driving under the influence. Lawyers for Garrison had pushed for probation, but Garrison got off lucky with the sentence he did receive, because he could have been locked up for nearly seven years. He’s received time off his sentence for good behavior and for participating in a substance-abuse treatment program, serving as a peer mentor to other inmates.

Lets hope he can turn his life around after this lucky break he’s receiving.

Lindsay Lohan Arrest Warrant, Catfight – UPDATED

March 15, 2009 By Cara Harrington Leave a Comment

Lindsay Lohan has gotten herself in yet another police related pickle. The girl has a warrant for her arrest floating around and cops are trying to hunt her down. To make their job easier she and her girlfriend, Samantha Ronson, gotten into a huge fight.

There are several stories circulating about her warrant. Lohan claims that the arrest rumors are completely bogus. However, Beverly Hills Police have confirmed they are going to arrest her.

Via Perez:

“The $50,000 warrant issued by the Beverly Hills Superior Court stems from a May 2007 arrest of Miss Lohan for DUI and hit-and-run. The circumstances leading to the issuance of the warrant by the court are not readily available at this time.”

Tomorrow (Monday) morning Lindsay has a hearing set up to clear up the “misunderstanding” that has led to a warrant for her arrest. Team Lohan is hoping to avoid jail time.

While cops weren’t exactly hunting her down, if she happened to come across a cop she would be subject to arrest. Being that she is a genius, she and Sam got into one of their infamous fights and Lohan lost her shiz. According to TMZ paps, she threw something at Ronson, missed and broke a window. Stealth, very stealth. Neighbors called the cops who then showed up at their house and beat on the door for about 20 minutes. They soon gave up after the couple refused to answer the door. The police aren’t giving up on the warrant either. A couple of cruisers are stationed just 2 blocks from her and Sam’s place. If she surfaces before her court date tomorrow, she could be arrested.

Sounds like she better skip church today.

UPDATE – I guess someone hacked into Lindsay Lohan’s Twitter account. A photo of her supposed personal Twitter page hit the net. So let me get this straight. While she was avoiding the cops and fighting with Sam, she had time to play on the net and update her Twitter status? Hmmm….
