Lindsay Lohan Fails Drug Test - Not Going Back to Jail – Epic Fail Video

There comes a time when you lose your ability to feel sorry for some people.

After multiple arrests, rehab stays, probation, fines, lost jobs, and media scrutiny, it looks like Lindsay Lohan has finally screwed the pooch.

Lohan appeared in court this morning to answer to Judge Stephanie Sautner after violating her probation by testing positive to alcohol during a drug test.

Who could have seen that one coming?

It seems that Lindsay failed one of the two drug tests she took this week and that violated her probation.

Lohan is under house arrest at her Venice Beach home and is under strict orders to not drink alcohol or take drugs.

But as we all know, Lohan has been partying it up while on house detention, and even threw a BBQ party last Sunday for her friends.

Just a few days ago she told Life Style Magazine,

"I'm a very social person, and I like being outside, especially in Venice Beach. I'd like to get out more. Just going out and having dinner. It's a nice way to just be reading scripts and focusing on what I'm going to do next. I've been having a lot of work-related meetings. Sometimes my friends come over. When my friends come over, they're not drinking. Alcohol is not in my house, so it's just not a part of my life."

Lindsay, saying the words out load does not make them true.


She was also paid $25,000 for a 30 second video shot that was filmed at her home while under house arrest.

Sources say the District Attorney were none too happy that Lohan was throwing parties and flaunting her detention.

So this morning the Judge was expected to threw her back in jail!

But unfortunately, due to a technicality surrounding the testing dates Lohan can not be found guilty for the negative test result. Only in Hollywood folks!

It kind of makes you wonder how many chances this girl is going to get, and quite frankly is an embarrassment to the California judicial system.


That’s right, hard to believe isn’t it - Lindsay Lohan gets away with another violation of probation.

Andy Dick Arrested Again For Being Wasted In Public

Andy Dick is having another bad day.

He was just bailed out of a Temecula California jail for being under the influence of drugs or alcohol in a restaurant.

Bond was set at $500.

Just last year the Celebrity Rehab star was arrested after starting a fight in a Taco joint while drunk. Before that he was arrested in a West Virginia comedy club after grouping a bouncer’s crotch and was charged with two counts of sexual abuse.

Dick, who admits he is gay, has had a long battle with drug and alcohol addiction, and this seems to be just another notch in his downward spiral.

Original ‘Survivor’ and ‘Celebrity Apprentice’ Star Richard Hatch Begins Prison Sentence – Again!

We all fell in love with Richard Hatch.

He ran around naked and won the crown on the first season of Survivor.

He drove everybody nuts with his smug personality on Celebrity apprentice.

And today Hatch begins serving his 9 month prison sentence in Brooklyn New York for trying to swindle the IRS out of taxes on his $1 Million Survivor winnings.

A judge is punishing Hatch for still not paying taxes he owes on the $1 million prize, plus thousands more from media appearances he earned starting in 2000 as the very first winner of CBS' hit reality show.

Hatch says he still owes approximately $2 million in taxes and penalties.

Hatch has already served more than three years behind bars for tax evasion. He was released in 2009, vowing that "whatever is owed, I will pay," but describing himself as "financially devastated and broke."

After being fired by Donald Trump earlier this season, Hatch took to Facebook and Twitter in an attempt to raise $300,000 from his fans to continue his legal appeals.

But time ran out.

Hatch checked himself into to jail on April 29 and will be released on December 12th next year.

Finally, some news out of Celebrity Apprentice that has NOTHING to do with Donald Trump, Meat Loaf, or Gary Busey.

Lindsay Lohan Does the Tonight Show with Jay Leno - Video

Lindsay Lohan appeared on the Tonight Show with Jay Leno Tuesday night.

It’s her first appearance on TV since she was sentenced to 120 days in jail for violating her probation.

Jay Leno seemed to be an overall supporter of the troubled actress, at times sounding more like her father than a talk show host and comedian.

They talked about her upcoming role in the new Gotti movie where she will play the wife of Gotti Jr. The movie will also star John Travolta and Joe Pesci.

When talk of her recent troubles came up she said she realizes she has made a lot of poor decisions and knows she has to work to gain back the trust she has lost with the industry.

They also talked about Lindsay’s time in jail – and the most recent sentence of 4 months plus community service at the county morgue and a battered women’s facility.

One little “Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon” moment happened when it was revealed that Lohan’s lawyer, Shawn Chapman Holley, is the wife of the lead singer in Jay’s Tonight Show band.

The audience erupted into applause when Leno asked if she thought her fans still supported her, and she got a standing ovation when she left the stage.

Lindsay Lohan Sentenced to 4 Months in Jail for Parole Violation

Lindsay Lohan was just sentenced to 120 days in jail for parole violation.

Lohan was in court today to answer to charges she stole a $2,500 necklace from a jewelry store.

Lindsay is already on probation – and has been for several years.

Judge Stephanie Sautner said a trail for her charge of felony theft can move forward and that Lohan had violated her parole.

The judge ordered her to immediately begin serving a 4 month jail sentence for the parole violation, and required her to do 12 weeks of community service at a women’s shelter and the morgue.

She was led out of the court room in handcuffs, then downstairs to be processed, and finally to her jail cell.

Lohan’s lawyer Shawn Holley said a bail bondsman was standing by to supply the $75,000 bail money, and that she would immediately file an appeal.

And another saga of Lindsay going to jail begins….

Queue the tabloids and cover your ears.

Dog The Bounty Hunter Bails Out Nicolas Cage From New Orleans Jail – Is Cage’s Third marriage Doomed?

Nicolas Cage got himself into a little hot water over the weekend and landed in a New Orleans jail cell charged with domestic violence against his third wife Alice.

Related: Nicolas Cage in Jail after New Orleans Arrest

After being seen drunk and stumbling into a tattoo parlor, the actor was caught on the shop’s video camera arguing with his wife, Alice Kim, and several friends.

Cage left the shop and continued the argument with his wife on the street when a cab driver called 911. After police arrived, Cage taunted the cops into arresting him and taking him to jail. They did.

But eight hours later Cage was bailed out to the tune of $10,000 by none other than Dog the Bounty Hunter.

Dog, whose real name is Duane Chapman told reporters,

"I am a truly dedicated fan of Mr. Cage and will not be granting any interviews about my client as I wish to respect his privacy."

It turns out that the whole mess was over an argument between Cage and his wife regarding the address of a rental house they were staying in.

Cage, the son of university professor August Coppola (a brother of director Francis Ford Coppola), changed his name as a teenager so he would not be forever branded as a gilded offspring of the Coppola family.

He has been married three times and has a child with actress Christina Fulton, who later bore their son, Weston Coppola Cage born in December 1990.

Cage married his first wife, actress Patricia Arquette, in 1995 and divorced in 2001. His second wife was singer Lisa Marie Presley, the daughter of Elvis Presley. They married in August 2002 but filed for divorce just 108 days later.

His third and current wife Alice Kim was a waitress in a L.A. restaurant and met Cage at a nightclub. They later married and had one son in 2005 named Kal-El after Superman's birth name.

In 2007, Cage fell into financial ruin after blaming his manager, Samuel Levin, for losing all his money. But Levin defended himself by saying that he warned Cage that he was living beyond his means and urged him to spend less.

Levin says that in 2007 Cage's uncontrolled spending included the purchase of a Gulfstream jet, several yachts, three additional residences at a total cost of more than $33 million, 22 automobiles (including 9 Rolls Royce’s); 12 purchases of expensive jewelry; and 47 purchases of artwork and exotic items.

One of those exotic items was a dinosaur skull of a Tarbosaurus dinosaur for which Nicolas Cage paid $276,000 in an auction. He also owned a Castle (Schloss Neidstein) in Germany before selling it to raise cash.

I guess what they say is true – spend it if you got it. But if you don’t got it – don’t spend it.

Nicolas Cage Arrested In New Orleans For Domestic Violence – Developing

Troubled “National Treasure” and financially distressed actor Nicolas Cage was arrested Saturday morning in New Orleans for domestic violence.

It appears that Cage was extremely drunk and was having a load argument with his wife on the streets of New Orleans when a cab driver called police.

But when cops told Cage and his wife to go home, Cage became verbally abusive and dared the police to arrest him. After several minutes, Cage was still taunting the officers so they arrested him for domestic violence AND disturbing the peace.

The cab driver apparently told the police that he saw Cage push his wife but she says there was no inappropriate contact.

As of Saturday afternoon Cage was still in jail awaiting his initial sentence. We suspect he will bail out later today.

Cage, who has recently accused his ex-manager for destroying his financial net worth, is known to have owned property in New Orleans. Just last year one of Cage’s multi-million dollar New Orleans houses went up for auction after the bank foreclosed on it.

The actor is currently filming the thriller “Medallion”, about a former thief who frantically searches for his missing daughter who has been kidnapped and locked in the trunk of a taxi.

Cage is also known for his roles in high profile films like The Sorcerer's Apprentice, Bangkok Dangerous, The Wicker Man, National Treasure, The Ant Bully, Matchstick Men, Con Air, Leaving Las Vegas, Guarding Tess, Peggy Sue Got Married, and Fast Times at Ridgemont High.

American Idol’s Jacob Lusk Arrested in L.A. – Mug Shot

This is the story about how American Idol power singer Jacob Lusk was almost NOT a contestant on the popular show.

It seems that back in November, the day after Jacob received his golden ticket to Hollywood, he was arrested in Los Angeles for not paying for a subway ticket.

Lusk, 24, was arrested back in April 2009 for the offense and decided to blow off his court appearance hoping the problem would just go away. It didn’t.

Last November after auditioning for American Idol, Lusk was pulled over in L.A. for a routine traffic stop and the cop saw he had an outstanding warrant for not showing up in court back in 2009 and was arrested.

After spending the night in jail, Lusk appeared before a judge and pleaded guilty to “failure to appear” and was sentenced to three days in Jail and two years of supervised probation.

The problem? American Idol does not allow contestants to compete if they are on probation.

So after serving his three days in jail, Lusk made an appointment with the Judge and explained his situation and begged his honor to terminate the probation so he could compete on Idol.

Thankfully, the Judge agreed and terminated Jacob’s probation allowing him to compete on season 10.

Lusk also tells a story about being in jail and explaining to the other inmates about his Idol journey and they all wanted to hear him sing. So Lusk belted out a song that was heard by over 150 inmates – and the guards.

Lusk is one of the favorites this season and has gained a strong fan following. One of his largest followings? The gay community.

While Jacob has not openly admitted to being gay, several individuals who know the singer say he is very much gay – and okay with it. Just watching him move on stage you can see how someone might form that opinion. But his fans love him.

One fan commented,

“Jacob Lusk is gayer than Elton John and Clay Aiken put together. He's almost as gay as Ryan Seacrest”

Not that there is anything wrong with that…

Lusk has commented on the show that he has been through some very very hard times in his life, but with a voice like that we suspect greener pastures are in his future. You don’t have to be the first place winner to score big on Idol. Just ask Pia Toscano.

Pia scored a record contract with Jimmy Iovine and Interscope records just 48 hours after being voted off last week.

But in case people are questioning if Jacob should even still be in the competition… we submit to you this:

Nick Hogan Out Of Jail

After almost six months behind bars, Nick Hogan (Bollea) has been released from jail.

His sentence, resulting from a car accident that left his passenger in a vegetative state for life, was cut short by three months for good behavior.

Young Nick, however, may be walking out of one nightmare and into another.

Since his time in prison, his parents Hulk (real name Terry Bollea) and Linda have filed for divorce while involved in a very public dispute over houses and money. And his sister Brooke Hogan can't seem to shake a bad Hollywood reputation as an airhead.

Nick Hogan was released from Pinellas County Jail just after midnight Tuesday morning. Nick copped a no contest to a felony charge of reckless driving involving serious bodily injury last spring. He was sentenced to eight months in jail.

Nick may be getting out early for good behavior, but he still has 500 hours of community service, five years probation and a three-year license suspension to look forward to.

His best friend and passenger in the car, John Graziano, remains hospitalized and will require medical care the rest of his life.
