Senator John Kerry’s 36 year-old daughter, Alexandra Forbes Kerry, was arrested for suspicion of DUI after failing a sobriety test in Hollywood on Thursday (November 19).
Alexandra was pulled over by the cops after a traffic law violation and was taken to LAPD’s station to take a formal blood alcohol test since she had refused to take a preliminary field alcohol screening test. The test showed a level of 0.06, under the legal limited of 0.08, but she was still booked and only released five hours later on a $5,000 bail.
‘Leave It To Lamas’ star Shayne Lamas was arrested for DUI when she willingly drove through a check point in Venice, California, at around 1 am on Saturday (November 14), according to PopEater.
Shayne released the following statement: “Early Saturday morning, after consuming one drink, I willingly drove through a mandatory check point on my way home with complete confidence of passing. However, the breathalyzer indicated that I was over the legal limit of blood alcohol content and was arrested onsite.”
She later added, “I take full responsibility for my lack of judgment. I have always strived to be a role model for my friends, family and fans and have never nor will ever condone drinking and driving. I apologize for all those I have disappointed, including myself.”
Shayne must be really desperate to increase her daddy’s reality show ratings because this sounds more like a big publicity stunt than anything else. One way or another, Shayne will have to go to court for a misdemeanor charge on December 9.
German model Edis Kayalar was arrested, charged and deported to his home country after trying to extort money from former supermodel Cindy Crawford and her husband Rande Gerber for a picture of their 7 year-old daughter bounded to a chair and gagged while wearing revealing clothes.
The picture has been taken by a former nanny, who had been in a relationship with Edis, during a game of cops and robbers without Cindy’s knowledge. Edis claims he was first concerned the nanny might had been abusing the child so he stole the photo and later decided to find out if he could get in trouble for trying to sell it.
Rande paid $1,000 for what he thought was the original photo but when he continued to be extorted the FBI got involved and Edis was arrested on September 16, 2009, and deported to Germany for an immigration violation. Edis called Rande again from Germany (November 1, 2009), saying, he “had no choice now but to extort the victims for money because they had gotten him deported.” Edis may face up to two years in jail.

Mike Tyson has been arrested at Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) for battery according to TMZ.
Mike likely became a reborn hero to many celebrities as he punched out a paparazzi who harassed him at ticket counter.
TMZ: We’re told Tyson was at a ticket counter at the United Airlines terminal when the incident occurred. The photographer got punched in the face, hit the ground, got up and began walking, leaving a trail of blood.
Our guy on the scene says there’s blood on the ground and Mike was taken away in a squad car.
I hate to say it, but the dude probably deserved it, and if the paparazzi said anything about his dead child then Tyson should do it again and again to the dude.

David Letterman on his Late Night with David Letterman show last night confessed to multiple sexual affairs with staffers and employees at the show.
The confession came during the revelation that allegedly Robert Joel Halderman, who works on the crime show 48 Hours had placed a package in the back of his car blackmailing him in hopes of extorting a $2 million check in exchange for not exposing Letterman’s multiple sexual affairs with staffers and embarrassing Letterman. Research shows that a Joe Halderman was an Emmy award winning producer from 48 Hours.
Most in the audience thought Dave was telling an extended joke, even as the story extended to nearly 10 minutes long. It did finally become evident towards the very end that Dave was serious, relieved that the blackmailer was locked up, and a bit uneasy admitting the sexual affairs to his audience.
He did a good job in mixing in jokes, being light, showing fear, and basically keeping his audience off balance, to where, for the most part, the news didn’t hit as hard as it normally would have.
One of his funnier lines: “I know what you’re saying,” he said. “I’ll be darned, Dave had sex.”
Dave recently wed his girlfriend Regina Lasko of nearly two decades back in March. The couple has a son, Harry, that was born back in 2003.
Letterman now has more in common with arch nemesis Bill O’Reilly than he would like to. The difference with O’Reilly being that he was allegedly extorted by a former female employee he had been sexual with on some level. A settlement was reached in that case. It will be interesting the next time ‘the Factor’ is on Late Night with good ole’ Dave Letterman.
Halderman will be charged with and tried for extortion.
Roman Polanski’s victim, Samantha Geimer, who was drugged and raped when she was only 13 years old has already sued the director, received an undisclosed settlement and recently asked for the case to be dropped.
Samantha filed court papers in January saying, “I am no longer a 13-year-old child. I have dealt with the difficulties of being a victim, have surmounted and surpassed them with one exception.
“Every time this case is brought to the attention of the Court, great focus is made of me, my family, my mother and others. That attention is not pleasant to experience and is not worth maintaining over some irrelevant legal nicety, the continuation of the case.”
Polish-French movie director Roman Polanskiwas arrested when he was trying to enter Switzerland to attend the Zurich Film Festival, which would honor him with a lifetime achievement award on Saturday (September 26).
The 76 year-old director has been living in France for decades to avoid the arrested warrant from 1978 on sex charges after being accused of offering alcohol and having sex with a 13 year-old girl during a photo shoot at actor Jack Nicholson’s house back in 1976. Roman then pleaded guilty to a single count of having unlawful sexual intercourse with a minor but fled the country before he could be sentenced.
Roman was put “in provisional detention” and authorities are working on his extradition to the United States. The victim, Samantha Geimer, has already sued the director, received an undisclosed settlement and recently asked for the case to be dropped (read more details).
Actor Randy Quaid and his wife Evi Quaidwere arrested for burglary (read more details) in Texas on Thursday (September 24). The couple looks pretty happy, smiling and laughing, while posing for their official mug shots (are they high?).
Randy and Evi already posted bail but not before sending TMZ a nice handwritten note and a copy of a cashier’s check ($5,546.96) from the Quaids to the San Ysidro Ranch, the place they allegedly had burglarized. There is something fishy about this story…
Actor Randy Quaid and his wife Evi Quaid were arrested in Marfa, Texas after an arrested warrant for for burglary, defrauding an innkeeper and conspiracy was issued today in Santa Barbara, CA on Thursday (September 24).
Presidio County Sheriff’s deputies claim the couple resisted the arrested and that Randy actually assaulted them physically and verbally. The couple apparently has a habit of staying in pricey hotels and then leaving without paying the bill. Their latest stunt was at the San Ysidro Ranch but they had already stiffed the Bel Air Hotel in L.A., among other places.
Former WWE champion Jeff Hardywas arrested after the police found a great amount of pills and steroids at his home in Cameron, NC on Friday (September 11).

San Diego Chargers linebacker Shawne Merrimanwas arrested earlier on Sunday (September 5) after cops responded to a call at 3.45 am local time from a distressed woman, Tila Nguyen aka Tila Tequila, who claimed to have been chocked and restrained.

The 27 year-old singer/model/reality star signed a citizen’s arrest at the scene, charging Merriman with battery and false imprisonment and was taken to Pomerado Hospital.
