Christina Aguilera's BF's DUI Charges Dropped

http://www.usmagazine.com/uploads/assets/articles/40383-christina-aguileras-boyfriends-dui-charges-dropped/1303056192_christina-aguilera-b.jpgChristina Aguilera's week just keeps getting better.

Two days after her divorce from Jordan Bratman was finalized, the L.A. County District Attorney officially rejected the DUI case against her current boyfriend, Matthew Rutler, citing insufficient evidence.

(Rutler, 25, was pulled over and arrested in March on suspicion of DUI; Aguilera was booked on a misdemeanor charge of public intoxication.)

Law enforcement officials tell TMZ that Rutler's blood alcohol content was ultimately determined to be .06 at the time of his arrest, which falls under California's legal limit to operate a vehicle, .08.

Aguilera recently opened up to Us Weekly about her troublesome year, which kicked off when she flubbed the lyrics to the National Anthem during the Super Bowl.

"It's a life-uprooting time and there have been hiccups along the way that unfortunately the whole world gets to witness and judge," The Voice judge, 30, said. "In light of the past year, there have been obvious setbacks. I've gone through a really hard divorce, and anyone who has gone through a divorce will speak about how hard the journey is from start to finish."

Jaime Pressly Worried About Her Image After DUI

http://www.imagesofcelebrities.info/img/1296363181-Jaime-Pressly-97.jpg

Jaime Pressly has already admitted she isn't "perfect" – but she's still feeling the sting of notoriety following her recent DUI arrest.

"She's concerned about how the arrest will affect her image because she feels this situation is unjustified," Pressly's lawyer, Rich Hutton, told PEOPLE on Friday, following a hearing in the case. "It doesn't represent who she is."

The actress, 33, who has pleaded not guilty, is also dealing with her divorce from Simran Singh, but Hutton says she's maintaining a positive attitude.

"She's a wonderful woman," he says. "She's doing great. She takes this [DUI case] very seriously. She's upset, but overall – aside from this – she's doing very well."

Pressly's next DUI hearing is scheduled for May 3. She is not required to appear in court.

Christina Aguilera: It's Hard Under the Microscope

http://www.usmagazine.com/uploads/assets/articles/39634-christina-aguilera-post-bust-its-hard-under-the-microscope/1300305725_christina-290.jpgTwo weeks after being jailed for public intoxication (beau Matthew Rutler was charged with a DUI the same night), Christina Aguilera was in a cheerful mood while promoting her new show, The Voice, in L.A. Tuesday.

As son Max, 2, snuck Oreo cookies from the snack table, the singer, who will act as judge and mentor for the NBC singing competition, talked openly about the pitfalls of fame. "We're only able to be seen through the microscope of the media and what people gossip about," Aguilera, 30, told Us Magazine during her first public appearance since the headline grabbing arrest.

Yet the singer, whose recent booze-fueled outings have raised eyebrows, didn't let anything dampen her mood.

She yukked it up with fellow judge Adam Levine and played with son Max throughout the interview. Added Aguilera, "You take the good with the bad. It's by telling our stories, sharing our experiences and really giving a first hand look at us as human beings [that shows] who we really are apart from what we seem to be."

A lesson she's eager to pass on to the aspiring superstars on the show. "I am ready to share it all so I'm really excited," she gushed. "I hope we can find the next biggest thing. But I'm not looking for vocal acrobatics. I really sincerely want to be moved by raw talent."

Though, don't be mistaken, this isn't anything like those other singing shows, insists the star. "The Voice isn't about tearing people down," said Aguilera. "I want to bring people up. I want to empower them and give them all the tools I had. I love that I get to be apart of that."

According to the L.A. County Sheriff's Department, Rutler's bail was set at $30,000.

However, the source adds, "If the driver had NOT been arrested for DUI, [Christina] would have never been in trouble."

Sources close to Xtina tell us they have been trying to get the singer into a rehab program for weeks.

http://www.chicainc.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/01/nicole-richie-reality-tv-star-show-paris-hilton-skinny-anorexic-hot-sexy-pics-the-simple-life-chica-inc.jpg

Nicole Richie's probation was terminated this morning -- months before it was scheduled to end ... TMZ has learned.

Nicole was on probation for a DUI in 2006, where she was driving the wrong way on an L.A. freeway.

Nicole's lawyer, the effervescent Shawn Chapman Holley, went to court this AM -- in the rain no less -- and presented the judge with proof Nicole had completed all the terms of probation, including a glowing report from the alcohol ed program in which she's been enrolled for the last 18 months.

Probation was scheduled to end in February, but since all the terms have been satisfied, the judge agreed to terminate it early.

So Mrs. Madden starts the New Year as a married but free woman.

Is Lindsay Lohan Headed Back to Jail?

http://img2.timeinc.net/people/i/2010/news/100802/lindsay-lohan-6-240.jpgThe revolving jail door may be spinning once again for Lindsay Lohan, who's under police investigation for battery against a rehab worker.

L.A. Superior Court Judge Elden Fox may be faced with having to make good on his threat of more incarceration for Lohan if she violated probation in a DUI case.

"If the latest allegations are true, it just spells disaster for Lindsay," says L.A. criminal defense attorney Richard Hirsch, who's not involved with the case. "After all the chances she's had, the judge may have no other option left."

Two months ago, Fox spared Lohan from jail after she failed a drug test, convinced that the actress – an admitted addict – needed more treatment and ordered her to remain at the Betty Ford Center until at least Jan. 3.

"I agree that relapse is a part of recovery, but I'm not going to be manipulated," Fox said, threatening her with six months behind bars if she slipped up again.

The actress, 24, has so far served three stints at a Lynwood, Calif., jail.

"Judge Fox isn't one to make idle threats," says another L.A. criminal defense attorney, Steve Sitkoff. "Especially if he decides that Lindsay was the instigator in the scuffle with the Betty Ford employee, that'll make him more likely to punish her with jail instead of treatment."

As of Wednesday, both the L.A. District Attorney and Fox had not been officially notified of Lohan's alleged infractions.

Lindsay Lohan Gets Bailed Out Of Jail

Lindsay Lohan is a free woman.

The actress was released Friday night after scoring a legal victory when a judge allowed her to post bail despite being previously ordered to stay incarcerated for almost 30 days.

"She's been very cooperative – always has been – the first time, and then the last time," says L.A. Sheriff's spokesman Steve Whitmore. "Let's hope this is the last time."

Lohan, 24, was sprung just before midnight from a Lynwood, Calif., jail after spending less than 14 hours behind bars and later posting $300,000 bail.

She was initially denied bail by Beverly Hills Superior Court Judge Elden Fox, who expected Lohan to serve 29 days behind bars, pending her next hearing. But that order was overruled by a supervising judge after the actress's attorney filed an appeal.

According to the most recent ruling, Lohan must now be fitted – again – with an alcohol-monitoring bracelet within 24 hours of her release. She's also ordered to stay out of places where "alcohol is the chief item of sale."

Lohan is set to return to court on Oct. 22 for a probation violation hearing in her DUI case, which was prompted by a recent failed mandatory drug test.

Kristin Cavallari's Mom Gets Busted For DUI

Police in Barrington, Illinois confirm Kristin's mom -- Judith Spies (that's her mug shot above) -- was pulled over at a DUI checkpoint at 2:15 AM late last month. Law enforcement sources tell us Kristin was riding shotgun at the time.

Judith was arrested for DUI. Police say her car was impounded since Kristin admitted being drunk and couldn't drive.

We're told Kristin did not play the "do you know who I am?" card ... impressive since she's rumored to be dating Chicago Bears QB Jay Cutler -- and we know how much Chicago loves Da Bears.

Kristen's rep had no comment.

Kim Kardashian: Why I Didn't End Up Like Paris

Kim Kardashian's frenemy Paris Hilton was arrested over the weekend for felony cocaine possession -- her third link to drugs this summer.

How has Kardashian, 30, managed to stay out of trouble?

"I've never been a drinker, I've never gotten into drugs," she said on The Tonight Show With Jay Leno Tuesday. "You know, I think I have such a close family. I think, you know, at a young age. I think you know my sisters do enough drinking to kind of fill up the whole family.

"From a young age, my dad made it very clear that, 'OK, you're the responsible one and you have to watch your sister, and (he) taught me how to drive when I was 14 in case my sister or her friends were going to be drinking and I always had permission to drive," continued Kardashian (whose younger sister Khloe was arrested for DUI in 2007). "You know, I had to call him from the destination and the final place. I always felt this sense of pride that he had in me that I was the responsible one so I always wanted to make him proud. And I hate the taste of alcohol."

She does, however, indulge in a White Russian occasionally.

"I said at 30 I'm gonna at least have a drink to lighten-up 'cause my sisters say I'm so boring," she told Leno. "So I tried a White Russian a few months ago. If I have one, it tastes like chocolate milk and it's kind of amazing. So every once and a while, but I'm 30 so it's OK."

Paris Hilton Arrested on Cocaine Charges

Paris Hilton was arrested Friday night and booked into the Clark County Detention Center for possession of a controlled substance, described by Las Vegas Metro Police as cocaine.

CBS News legal analyst Lisa Bloom says a conviciton would probably mean more time behind bars for Hilton.

She was a passenger in a car driven by her boyfriend, Cy Waits, when Metro conducted a traffic stop around 11:30 p.m. Friday in front of the Wynn Hotel and Casino on the famed Las Vegas Strip, according to Officer Marcus Martin, public information officer, who spoke with CBS affiliate KLAS-TV.

During the course of the traffic stop, police say, they conducted a search and found an undisclosed amount of cocaine in Hilton's purse.

An officer indicated to KLAS that a possible odor of marijuana was initially detected, requiring further interaction with police.

Hilton was charged with possession of a controlled substance.

A clerk at the Clark County Detention Center indicated early Saturday morning that Hilton "had been booked and released." Further details were not available from the jail.

A Metro watch commander also said the driver, Cy Waits, was arrested for DUI. TMZ reported Hilton and Waits were headed to Las Vegas on a private jet from Los Angeles Friday. Waits runs several nightclubs in the city.

Stephanie Pratt's Advice To Lindsay Lohan

Stephanie Pratt can definitely relate to troubled party girl Lindsay Lohan.

Back in October, the Hills star was busted for DUI after leaving a Hollywood bash. The 24-year-old, who has admitted to drug and alcohol addiction in the past, spent 30 days in a rehab facility and was subsequently sentenced to three years of probation.

At Tuesday's series finale party for her MTV hit, Pratt offered advice for Lohan, who is to report to jail July 20 for a probation violation related to her own 2007 DUI.

"When I got in trouble again, instead of spiraling, I took it as a positive and I was on trial," Pratt told UsMagazine.com.

"I took it as God was testing me... If [Lindsay] just does her time and gets the help, I see her having a great comeback. I really think to always keep a positive outlook on everything."

Still, although many predict Lohan will only serve a fraction of her 90-day jail sentence, a source says in the new Us Weekly that the actress is in "total denial" about her fate.

Jason Wahler Arrested for Hitting A Female

Known for his numerous run-ins with the law, breaking reports tell that Lauren Conrad's ex, Jason Wahler, has once again been arrested for assault.

With the incident taking place during the early hours of Sunday morning (June 6), TMZ tells that the former "Hills" badboy hit a female party attendee after an argument.

Immediately after the blowout, Wahler was taken into custody and has since been charged with one count of misdemeanor battery.

This is the sixth alcohol related arrest for Jason with his last legal snafu coming by way of DUI in March 2010.

Jason Wahler Pleads Guilty to DUI

The Hills star Jason Wahler was sentenced Monday in an Orange County, Calif., courtroom to three years probation after pleading guilty to drunk driving.

Wahler, 23, also received three months in an alcohol-offender program and two days in jail, although he was given credit for time already served.

The reality TV star was arrested two months ago in Newport Beach, Calif., with a blood-alcohol level of .19, more than twice the legal limit.

A rep for Wahler couldn't be reached for comment.

Jason Wahler: "I Am Ashamed of Everything"

Former Hills star Jason Wahler says he felt incredible "shame" when he made headlines again last weekend for his sixth alcohol-related arrest in recent years. A week prior, online video footage also surfaced of Wahler, 23, being cuffed by Mexican police in Cabo San Lucas March 11 after he allegedly got into a club brawl.

"I am very ashamed of everything," he tells UsMagazine.com. "I am very sorry for everything that's happened."

So what went wrong for Wahler, who claimed in 2007 that he had cleaned up his act and even did a stint in rehab?

About six months ago, he tells Us he moved back to Orange County from L.A. and enrolled in the University of Phoenix in Fountain Valley, Calif., hoping to earn a business degree. He even began going to AA up to five times a week. "I had a sponsor and stuff," says Wahler. "You know, the whole thing."

While traveling to L.A. "doing the whole movie stuff," he says he "got distracted" and "started falling out of the program ... I lost contact with my sponsor."

On March 19, he was taken into custody at 10:54 p.m. for DUI while driving a 2008 Chevy Tahoe. He likely will face jail time. He declined to talk about the incident, but he tells Us, "I think everything happens for a reason. God did that to me, so maybe I would be at [rock] bottom and want to climb my way to the top."

"It's all about getting back on track," Wahler tells Us. "My girlfriend, my parents, my brothers, my sisters and a handful of my best friends are willing to do everything to keep me out of trouble."

Jason Wahler Arrested For Sixth Time

The Hills's Jason Wahler is facing almost certain jail time following a drunk driving arrest in Newport Beach, Calif., Friday evening.

Wahler, 23, was taken into custody at 10:54 p.m. for DUI while driving a 2008 Chevy Tahoe, Newport Beach Sgt. Evan Sailor confirms to PEOPLE. He was released on his own recognizance hours later.

Last week, video surfaced online of Wahler being cuffed by Mexican police in Cabo San Lucas March 11 after he allegedly got into a fight at a nightclub.

This is at least the sixth drinking-related arrest for Wahler in recent years.

In a 2007 interview with PEOPLE, Wahler admits: "I did try drugs, but it was never my thing. It was alcohol, for sure. It would take me about 10 drinks before that other side came out. It's like Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde."

Last year, Wahler, who once dated Lauren Conrad, saw his engagement to college tennis player Katja Decker-Sadowski called off.

In a related story, Audrina Patridge was spotted leaving The "Hot Tub Time Machine" Afterparty where she showed concern for her former Hills co-star, Jason Wahler. Check it out:

No Jail Time for Hills Star Stephanie Pratt

Pretty Hills hotties don't belong in jail.

Good thing Stephanie Pratt isn't headed there, even with that whole "my heels made me do it" excuse.

The MTV reality star reached a deal with the district attorney stemming from her Oct. 18 DUI arrest following sister-in-law Holly Montag's birthday bash at a Hollywood nightclub.

To avoid donning an unflattering orange jumpsuit, she pleaded no contest to the reduced charge of exhibition of speeding and vowed to enroll in a three-month alcohol-treatment program and to spend eight weeks wearing those heels to Alcoholics Anonymous meetings. She'll also have to manage 36 months of probation.

"I'm happy about the outcome," a smiling Pratt told E! News exclusively. "I enrolled in Betty Ford Clinic for two weeks right after my DUI arrest."

Even though she'll be spending time dealing with her sentence, prepare to see much more of the 23-year-old in the coming months. Shooting on The Hills resumes next week.

"I'm looking forward to getting back to work," she said.

Stephanie Pratt: Grinch Girl

Trying to rebuild her image following her DUI charge, Stephanie Pratt was spotted reading to some children at Universal Studios in Hollywood on Monday evening (December 28).

The “Hills” hottie looked excited as she enthusiastically read “How the Grinch Stole Christmas” as the paparazzi looked on.

Earlier in the day Stephanie was a busy bee, running errands and paying a visit to her family to pick up a few items.

She tweeted, “Just picked up my dog + mail from parents’ house and my new checks came- they benefit the humane society!! So excited!”

Stephanie Pratt Regains Drivers License, Clothes

Clear the road. Stephanie Pratt will be back on it shortly.

Less than two months after being charged with DUI, The Hills star has had her license reinstated. That's good news for her, but bad for the rest of us.

Looks like she recovered more than just her driving rights, too.

Stephanie apparently found the clothing she lost in those racy Maxim pictures we posted last week. Good Lordy. Who knew Spencer's lil' sis had that in her.
