Britney Spears Gets Booked
Britney Spears Gets Booked
With all the time she’s been spending in court and with police, Britney Spears should think about moving closer to the courthouse. This time, she was taking care of some unfinished business.
The “Gimme More” singer showed up at a Van Nuys police station last night around 9pm, and left 45 minutes later. She was reportedly fingerprinted and photographed in her booking for the charges of hit and run, and driving without a valid license. Talk about your past coming back to haunt you!
Officer Mike Lopez reported, “She was fine, cooperative. She did her business and came out.” And Brit was equally complimentary. She told press, “They were nice,” as she left the station, wearing huge sunglasses because of her pinkeye infection.
This past August, the “Toxic” singer was involved in a hit and run incident in a Studio City parking lot. After she bumped her Mercedes Benz into another parked Mercedes Benz, Spears elected to leave the scene without taking proper measures to right her wrong.
And even though there was minute damage to either car, a law is a law, and Britney broke it. The woman who owns the car struck by Brit made a huge deal of the situation, which led to Spears being charged with the crime. In addition, she was driving without a valid California license.

Jesse Metcalfe’s Fight Night
Jesse Metcalfe’s Fight Night
Usually in this business it’s the celebrities that attack the annoying fans/paparazzi/whatever. But last night, Jess Metcalfe found himself at the hands of an aggressive and jealous boyfriend.
The whole thing went down outside of Boulevard 3 nightclub, where the “Desperate Housewives” actor greeted friend and fellow actress Taryn Manning with a hug. As the two began chatting, Jesse put his arm around her, and that didn’t sit well with Manning’s man.
Before he knew it, the “John Tucker Must Die” actor was being attacked by Taryn’s boyfriend on the sidewalk outside the club. And when the fight was broken up, Jesse went into Boulevard 3, while Taryn and her testosterone-heavy boyfriend headed next door to Social.
While inside Boulevard 3, it seems Metcalfe rounded up the troops and went next door to Social to take care of some unfinished business. A short while later they emerged with grins on their faces.
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.
