It is just swell when actors turn into their characters. In the case of Jaime Pressly, she’s only gone and turned into Joy from My Name Is Earl. That doesn’t mean she’s started having sex with a turtle obsessive, but rather, she’s bumbling around the line of the law and getting her bra-strap felt by the long arm of the law.

That’s right, Jaime may well be frantically asking her husband – entertainment lawyer Simran Singh – for some legal advice right now.

That’s because she’s been arrested on suspicion of drunk driving.

Pressly and her terrifying fixed blindingly white grin were driving in Santa Monica at about 11 pm when the cops saw her driving like a mad drunk.

Okay, that might not be strictly true (when have we ever strictly told the truth? Answer: ALWAYS YOU GITS), but the police did pull her over for an autograph after they saw her committing a traffic violation.

There’s no reports on what violation she was actually doing, but we’re hoping that she was doing a wheelie while the car was on fire, screeching out of the window and swigging from a bottle of Mount Gay rum and throwing the contents of her glovebox at other drivers.

At 3mph.

Anyway, whatever mischief she was getting herself into, Pressly soon found herself in Santa Monica jail on suspicion of driving under the influence of lovely booze after police performed one of those sobriety test things that are always so amusing on those copchase shows.

Here’s to hoping she gets a deaf attorney with a sexy accent.

It’s weird to think that Shia LaBeouf could ever get arrested for DUI, but that’s because he looks like he’s about six years old.

Honestly, look at Shia LaBeouf’s adorable little puppydog face – it’s as if a single drop of alcohol has never passed his lips. But apparently it has – early yesterday morning Shia LaBeouf was arrested on suspicion of DUI after he crashed his car in Hollywood.

Really though? Shia LaBeouf? DUI? There must be another explanation. Perhaps Shia was impaired on something other than alcohol, like Haribo or Um Bongo. And perhaps he only crashed his car because his adorable little legs couldn’t stretch all the way down to the pedals, the wubby little lamby wamb.

Admit it, when you look at Shia LaBeouf you just want to grab him by the cheeks, muss up his hair and give him a shiny sixpence to buy some bon bons with. This is because Shia LaBeouf couldn’t be any more adorable if he was made from kitten whiskers and angel breath.

Or is he? Because lately Shia LaBeouf has found himself getting into more and more trouble. Real trouble too, not the sort of imaginary 1950s schoolboy trouble that we keep assuming Shia gets into, like being clipped round the ear by a bobby for carrying a peashooter or being chased from the farm by Old Man McGee for scrumping apples from his orchard.

Instead Shia LaBeouf has committed the heinous crimes of using homophobic slurs on YouTube and smoking cigarettes and sort of standing around in a pharmacy when he wasn’t supposed to.

With a track record like that it’s only a matter of time before Shia LaBeouf does something really stupid, like get drunk and drive his car around until he cras… what? He’s already done that? On Sunday morning? Oh Shia, you adorably illegal scamp. The Los Angeles Times reports:

Actor Shia LaBeouf was arrested on suspicion of drunk driving early Sunday in Hollywood after he and two other people were hurt in a crash. Los Angeles County sheriff’s deputies said LaBeouf made a left turn and collided with an oncoming car about 2:30 a.m. at the intersection of La Brea and Fountain avenues. The actor’s Ford F-150 pickup truck rolled over in the crash.

Well, it’s certainly fortunate that nobody was seriously hur… what? Shia LaBeouf drives a pickup truck? A pickup truck? What for, to store all the logs that he chops down during a hard day’s acting? To transport all the manual labour equipment he needs to pretend to be Indiana Jones‘ little boy? Shia LaBeouf can’t even grow a beard properly, for crying out loud! What’s he doing bombing round in a titting pickup truck?

Anyway, back to our original point. It’s fortunate that nobody was seriously injured in the crash. If he’s charged with DUI, perhaps this incident will serve as a wake-up call for Shia to reign in his youthful excesses before he causes some serious damage.

But why did Shia LaBeouf drink-drive in the first place? He doesn’t seem as much of an irresponsible douchetard as Lindsay Lohan, and surely he can’t be filled with as much obvious self-loathing as Mel Gibson, can he?

Well maybe he can. That last Indiana Jones movie was pretty rubbish. We’d be drunk all the time if we were Shia LaBeouf, actually. But if only we could be as adorable…

When you think of famous rock and roll antics, a few famous names spring to mind, like Ozzy Osbourne literally shoving anything down his throat. Drugs, ants, doves, Sharon Osbourne – anything.

In more modern times, the rock stars of today aren’t as wild as their counterparts. The most compelling things our heroes do is throw a TV out of a hotel window. Though they later pay for any damage and, through teary eyes, plead to Travel lodge not to give them get a lifetime ban. Now, however, it seems that someone wants to go one weaker in the rock and roll stakes. Chad Kroeger – the husky singer from weak Canadian act Nickelback – has been in trouble with the law. Firstly for drink driving back in June 2007 and now for not showing up to his court hearing. We bow down to this man's antics.

Annoyingly, Chad and his bunch of Nickelback merry men have been plaguing the charts for an alarming amount of time. Just like an STD, their single Rockstar refuses to go away. Every time we switch on the radio, Chad’s raspy vocals tell us how great it would be to own a new house so can ponce around on cribs. Probably to show off his 47-bedroom house complete with prostitutes in every room. 

For a world famous band, they don’t often get much press about their rock and roll antics. Well that is until now.

Back in June 2007, Chad was arrested for driving drunk in a car, the stupid twat. Despite this happening late last year, the case has just arrived in court. This makes us wonder how slow the Canadian courts are if it takes this long to get something this minor to court. We’d hate to guess how long it would take if for example, Chad went off and butchered a group of nuns to death. Anyway, long story short, Kroeger's guilty. As NME.com reports: 

“The singer was not present in court for the news; with his lawyer Marvin Stern saying he was in Europe "recording or producing music. Stern also said his client is "concerned about the ramifications of a criminal conviction.” 

Sadly, it looks as if Chad Kroeger will have to take the punishment for this himself. We'd suggest that he should hire a body double to take the flak for him, but nobody melts the uglyometer as much as Kroeger does. No matter, his punishment will hardly scare him to his wit's end. 

When he returns on May 1 for sentencing, Chad may face a $600 fine and could be banned from driving for up to a year. Alternatively, for the good of us all, he could be locked up in a concrete cell where he can't inflict any more rubbish piss poor rock anthems on us.
