Charles Barkley was arrested for DUI last night.
Basketball legend Charles Barkley has been arrested for drunk driving.
The 45-year-old former hoops star – who now plans to run for political office – was stopped after allegedly running a red light in Scottsdale, Arizona, at 1.30am.
Officers who pulled him over then took him to a nearby mobile command post for a blood test after he declined to give a breath test, according to police.
Barkley was issued a citation for driving while impaired and released pending the results, which normally takes about a week.
“He was very nice and professional,” police Lt. Eric Shuhandler said, adding he entire arrest process took place without incident, and Barkley was civil and cooperative throughout. He left in a cab.
“There was nothing unusual about how he was taken into custody,” Shuhandler said. “He was treated exactly like we treat anybody else.”
For a first offense, someone found guilty of the charge Barkley faces might expect between one to 10 days in jail, and the suspension of driving privileges.
I would have to imagine based on the mug shot that the results will show he was intoxicated… and then how about them plans to run for office??
What a day… Amy Winehouse’s boobs, Jennifer Aniston naked, Jennifer Garner in labor, and Matt Dillon & Charles Barkely mug shots!
Jennifer Garner and Ben Affleck arrived at a Los Angeles hospital early this morning.
THAT SURE LOOKS LIKE A GIRLFRIEND IN LABOR TO ME!!!
Now I don’t know, it could just be an end of the pregnancy routine check up… but she looks a little alarmed and he’s doing the “my wife is in labor” arm around her back thing!!
I CAN’T WAIT FOR VIOLET TO BE THE BIG SISTER!!
How fun would it be to have the FIRST celebrity baby of the year… that is if she has a long labor – otherwise she’ll have a New Year’s Eve birthday babe!

Matt Dillon was arrested in Vermont last night for going 106mph down 91… That’s 41 miles over the speed limit. It’s called criminal speeding. Damn. Had he been further south on 91 he would have been in my great state of CT and one of our state trooper friends would have pulled him over… Anyway, just glad he didn’t hurt anyone. That’s quite fast.
I am getting my little home studio set up so I can do my gossip reports even though I don’t work for a radio station anymore (boo hoo)… So tonight I just kind of threw one together to test out my equipment – I have to put some sort of compression effect on my voice and I’m having friends who know how to adjust the program help me… I figured I would post this so we can get back into the podcasting thing… Bear with me… Now that the holidays are FINALLY OVER (well except for tomorrow night…) I can get some work done on this site. Until we have to move again!!!!!
I have no idea what it will sound like… so let me know.
They kind of remind me of a low-class version of Justin Timberlake and Jessica Biel.
I don’t know why… but do ya see it?
Jennifer Aniston is in January’s GQ… wearing only a tie – and some airbrushing! Well, actually she admitted to Barbara Walters on The View that it was photoshopped… gee, and we thought it was JUST all the plastic surgery!
HOLY BOOBS BATMAN! I’m not at all shocked by the fact that Amy Winehouse is frolicking topless on the beach… we’ve all seen her bush creeping out of her pants…
What does shock me is the fact that HER BOOBS ARE BY FAR HER BEST FEATURE!! Seriously, there’s not a thing right looking about Amy… her hair is a ferret’s nest, her face is night of the living dead, her arms and legs are tattoo mangled track marked filth… her feet are needled and bloody… but those boobs actually look alive and well!
Rest of the pics are totally NSFW but I couldn’t help but post them.
Vanessa Hudgens is doing promotional work for Ecko Red. There she is in her short shorts with bangs… I don’t really think she’s pretty but whatever.
