CSI’s Gary Dourdan avoids jail time
On Monday, April 28, CSI star Gary Dourdan was arrested in Palm Springs, California. He was asleep in his car and when a police officer approached, he found Dourdan disoriented. The actor was arrested after the cop found cocaine, heroin, Ecstacy, miscellaneous prescription drugs and paraphernalia in the car. Despite pleading guilty to drug possession today, Dourdan will not have to do any jail time. In fact, in the deal his lawyer struck with prosecutors, Gary will get treatment for his drug problems. Basically, he lucked out.
“Once Gary completes 30 hours of a diversion program, his case will be entirely dismissed,” said his lawyer, Shawn Chapman Holley, in a statement to The Associated Press. Dourdan won’t have to do any time in a drug rehab facility or behind bars, so all things considered, he’s very, very fortunate. He could have faced up to three years or more in jail .
Gary has already departed CSI, and in the season finale, his character was seemingly killed in a point blank shooting. However, when Jorja Fox returns for the fall premiere, Dourdan is reportedly in the show. And not as a ghost. So, now that he won’t be doing time, he’ll have time to film scenes for CSI and, presumably, wrap up the unfinished business of the CSI crew exposing the corrupt under sheriff.

Clubgoers who opted to hit Hollywood hotspot Goa last night (December 20) were treated to their fare share of celebrity sightings.
First to enter the doors of the recently opened nightclub was Paris Hilton, who showed up arm-in-arm with her Swedish boyfriend Alex Vaggo.
Later on in the evening, the girls of The Hills made their arrivals. And, according to sources on the scene, the night’s entertainment came along with them.
Us magazine reports tell, ” (Lauren) Conrad, Audrina Patridge and Lauren Bosworth hit Hollywood hot spot Goa early Friday around midnight to film scenes for the upcoming season of their MTV mega-hit. Around 1 am, (Heidi) Montag showed up with Pratt’s sister Stephanie.”
Once Heidi hit the entrance, “Audrina came over and hugged and chatted with Heidi.” But the same could not be said of LC.
“Lauren and Heidi were literally almost back to back and not speaking,” an onlooker said of the scene.
From there, the situation turned into a little dance-off, as “Lauren grooved with a tall blonde guy and all of them were waving their drinks in the air. Ten minutes later, Montag hit the floor to Dr. Dre’s ‘Next Episode’ — only to be followed up a short time later by Patridge and Conrad who took over the dance floor to ‘Piece of Me’ by Britney Spears and ‘Rumors’ by Lindsay Lohan.”
Too bad Paris and Alex didn’t stay for the fun!
