Reactions To Ryan Dunn’s Death

Kate Torgovnick/Kate-Book.comJune 21, 2011 //

Yesterday was a very sad day for “Jackass” fans. Ryan Dunn, one of the stars of the show and movies, was killed in a car crash when his Porsche skidded off the road and over a guardrail just outside Philadelphia. Shortly before the accident, Dunn had Tweeted a photo of himself and two friends—one of whom also died in the wreck—at a bar. It’s unclear whether they had one or two drinks, or if alcohol consumption was the cause of the crash. (Dunn did receive a DUI in 2005 after crashing his car just a few miles away, though completed an alcohol education course designed for first-time DUI offenders.)

Since the news was released, there’s been a steady stream of celebrity posts about Ryan on Twitter. After the jump, some of them. Keep reading »

Christina Aguilera Arrested For Public Intoxication

Kate Torgovnick/Kate-Book.comMarch 1, 2011 //

Wuh woh. Looks like those anonymous sources may be right about Christina Aguilera being totally out of control and headed for rehab. Last night at 2:45 a.m. she and her new boy toy, Matthew Rutler, were pulled over in West Hollywood. Matthew was arrested on suspicion of driving under the influence. Apparently, Christina was in even worse shape. The sheriff’s deputy says that she was “extremely intoxicated” and “unable to take care of herself.” So she was taken into custody and spent the night in jail. It’s unclear whether she will be charged today. Sure seems like Matthew may be Christina’s version of Kevin Federline. Will celebrities ever learn—if you’re snookered, call a cab. Sheesh.

Drive ‘Em To Drink: Guy In Breathalyzer Costume Busted For DUI On Halloween

SimchaNovember 4, 2010 //

Remember how I warned you about 22 costumes that wouldn’t get you laid, and one of them was this here Breathalyzer? Well, what I forgot to mention was you also shouldn’t get wasted in this get-up and then attempt to drive home. Unfortch, 19-year-old Nebraskan Matthew Nieveen didn’t see the hilarious irony of getting arrested for a DUI on Halloween dressed like this … or maybe he did. He was pulled over and thrown in the detox slammer with a French maid and naughty border patrol agent. Wait, that’s a punishment? Sounds like the makings of an awesome porno! Well, I guess young Mr. Nieveen should just be especially glad that unlike the costume Breathalyzer, the police one isn’t in someone’s crotch. [Best Week Ever]

Girl Talk: Why I’m Glad I Got A DUI

adminNovember 16, 2009 //

When I heard this weekend that Shayne Lamas, the gal who snagged Matt Grant in season 12 of “The Bachelor,” was the latest reality star to get busted for behind-the-wheel booziness, I groaned but was hardly surprised. Her arrest was as predictable as Stephanie Pratt’s a mere few weeks before. Yet reading both girls’ shocked, defensive responses to their ordeals—But I only had two drinks! I was practically sober!—I found myself cringing with a pang of empathy. See, a few years ago, just shy of my 21st birthday, I got pulled over for a broken taillight after having a not-yet-legal glass of wine at a dinner party. When the officer asked if I’d be drinking, I reacted the exact same way these two did. As a Dean’s List student at a top college who volunteered at the local children’s hospital, I thought I could do no wrong. I rattled off these accomplishments to the cop, sure that he’d let me off the hook. “Basically,” I said, no doubt looking and sounding like the naïve blonde sorority girl I was, “I am not the type of person who drinks and drives.” Except that, according to the Breathalyzer, I was.

Stephanie Pratt Spends The Night In Jail

Kate Torgovnick/Kate-Book.comOctober 19, 2009 //

I wonder if her recent plastic surgery made her mug shot look any better? Stephanie Pratt was arrested Saturday night at 3:45 a.m. for a DUI on her way back from Holly Montag‘s birthday at Empire. She spent the night in the Van Nuys jail and was released at 10:30 a.m. the next morning. Earlier in the night, she tweeted, “Its my sissy @hollymontags bday party! just finished dinner and going to Empire but im pretty tired aka yes i am the party pooper :(” Guess she changed her mind on the party pooping?

Is Shia LaBeouf A “Bad Boy” Or Just Screwed Up?

Jessica WakemanJune 23, 2009 //

If nothing else, the train wreck that is young “Indiana Jones” star Shia LaBeouf has been refreshing for its candor.

We, the public, are used to a celebrity-publicist-consumers trifecta that downplays, obfuscates and outright lies when it comes to their naughty behavior. Exhibit A: Britney. Exhibit B: Lindsay. Exhibit C: Chris Brown. Exhibit D: Paris. Exhibit E: Jeremy Piven. I could go on, but you get the point.

But 23-year-old Shia LaBeouf—not through a publicist, not through a stage parent demon from hell—has been straight up when talking to the press about his troubles. Most recently, he confessed to Parade that he is an alcoholic, that he sometimes feels his life is meaningless and his insecurity is a “God-sized hole.” Certainly, not every celebrity is required to open up about their personal lives this way, but we appreciated his honesty, rather than the same-old-same-old BS.
