Hollywood Scandals and Gossip

Amy Winehouse has been arrested and taken into custody in connection with an alleged plan to derail a criminal case against her husband, Blake Fielder-Civil.

"A 24-year-old woman has been arrested by appointment at an East London police station," a police spokeswoman said, without naming Amy Winehouse.

"[The woman] is currently in custody. The arrest was in connection with an investigation into perverting the course of justice."

Amy Winehouse's U.S. representative confirmed the singer's arrest, saying: "I can confirm that she did go in voluntarily to be interviewed and was placed under arrest, as is common practice in the U.K., before being questioned."

He is currently in jail awaiting trial. As is British custom, police do not publicly name people who are arrested - only if they are later charged with a crime.

Winehouse was forced to give fingerprints and a saliva swab to police, as "any person arrested is required to give both DNA and fingerprints," the police said.

Another source denied a recent News of the World report that Amy Winehouse and Blake Fielder-Civil have a suicide pact if they both are put behind bars.

A judge has revoked probation and issued an arrest warrant for actor Daniel Baldwin after he failed to appear in court for a scheduled progress report on his ongoing rehabilitation, stemming from a drug arrest occurring last year.

Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Scott Millington issued the warrant after the actor failed to show up in court as scheduled this past Friday morning.

The actor, 47, is the brother of actors Alec Baldwin (star of 30 Rock), William Baldwin and Stephen Baldwin and has starred on numerous TV shows, including "Homicide: Life on the Street," and was also in some movies and stuff.

As celebrities go, he's D-list at best. But as celebrity mug shots go, this one is a definite B, maybe even a B+ (you can see a little bit of Nick Nolte here).

Daniel Baldwin entered the drug rehabilitation program in hopes of having the pair of charges dismissed. At a February hearing, his attorney said the actor had completed various programs and was continuing treatment.

He and Britney Spears bonded in rehab in February. We're serious.

We have just learned that Velvet Revolver frontman Scott Weiland has been arrested for DUI. We cannot sit here and tell you were are entirely stunned by the news. Guy is a little out there.

Weiland has long battled substance abuse and was arrested after crashing his car and failing sobriety tests on November 11 in Southern California's San Fernando Valley, the California Highway Patrol said.

No one was injured in the accident.

The musician was booked at the Van Nuys jail and refused to take a blood or urine test. He posted $40,000 bail and is due in court December 13.

Weiland has yet to be formally charged by the L.A. City Attorney's office.

The former Stone Temple Pilots singer is no stranger to legal trouble over the years. He was jailed for drug offenses in the 1990s and then some.

He was busted for buying crack in 1995, domestic violence in 2001, DUI in 2003, and allegedly trashed a hotel room while brawling with wife Mary Weiland.

Mary Weiland, who was arrested and booked for investigation of felony arson vandalism after allegedly setting fire to some of her husband's clothes, later issued a statement saying her husband was "simply trying to help calm me down."

In July, Scott Weiland claimed he was past his troubles, saying, "There's definitely a Cleaver sense about our household."

Jessica Sierra's mouth didn't earn her the title of American Idol.

So the singer is trying to put her oral talents to a different use.

According to a police report obtained by TMZ, Sierra told the arresting officer over the weekend, "I'll suck your d-ick if you don't take me to jail."

Once her Antonella Barba-like offer was rejected, Sierra hurled the N word a few times, screaming, "F*** you N*****!" According to the police report, her friend tried calming Jessica down as went to shove a cop. From there, naturally, Sierra and her pal ended up fighting in the street.

The former American Idol finalist has been charged with disorderly intoxication, violation of parole, obstruction of justice and tremendous celebrity gossip fodder.

Sales of Jordin Sparks' debut album have been a disappointment so far. But things could be worse.

The 17-year old could be facing the problems of another former American Idol finalist, Jessica Sierra.

The singer was jailed early Saturday after a drunken confrontation with police and onlookers. This arrest comes less than two weeks after she pleaded no contest to charges of battery and possession of cocaine.

Sierra, who is making O.J. Simpson seem like a law-abiding citizen, was charged with disorderly intoxication, resisting arrest and violating conditions of her parole on earlier felony battery and possession charges. She's being held without bond.

"As the defendant was taken into custody, she attempted to push away and flee the scene," arresting officers wrote on their report.

Back on November 19, Circuit Judge Gregory Holder sentenced Sierra to 12 months probation and random drug screening, stemming from an altercation in April where she was accused of hitting a man on the head with a glass.

Officers proceeded to find a small amount of cocaine while searching her afterward at the county jail, helping Sierra out-criminalize Mary Delgado in a comparison of recent reality TV arrests.

Four men have been arrested in the shooting death of NFL player Sean Taylor and say they didn't plan to kill him, Miami-area authorities report.

"[The suspects] were expecting a residence that was not occupied. Murder or shooting someone was not their initial motive," Robert Parker, director of the Miami-Dade Police Department, told the media Friday night.

Just the same, according to police, there have been multiple confessions in the case and the individuals will be charged with murder of Sean Taylor.

"They were certainly not looking to go there and kill anyone," he said. "Their obvious motive was to go there and steal the contents of the house."

The suspects are Venjah K. Hunte, 20; Eric Rivera Jr., 17; Jason Scott Mitchell, 17; and Charles Kendrick Lee Wardlow, 18. Sean Taylor, 24, died in the hospital Tuesday, a day after being shot during an apparent burglary at his home.

The men knew the NFL star lived at the house, and police told CNN they are investigating the possibility that one or more suspects knew his family.

At 1:45 a.m. Monday, Taylor's girlfriend and the mother of his daughter, Jackie Garcia (the niece of actor Andy Garcia), called 911 and said someone had been shot.

Jackie Garcia did not see what happened to Sean Taylor that night and could not provide a suspect description, Parker told reporters.

She told police she was hiding under the bedding during the attack.

Police said Garcia and Taylor were awakened by noise in the living room and that Sean Taylor got up and locked the bedroom door, but the door was kicked in and two shots fired, one striking him in the leg, leaving him in critical condition.

Jackie Garcia tried to call 911 but was unable to, and used her cell phone instead, police said. There was no evidence the line had been cut.

A break-in was also reported eight days earlier, Miami-Dade police said.

Police say someone forced a window open and left a kitchen knife on a bed. Several drawers and a bedroom safe were searched during the break-in.

Sean Taylor was home unexpectedly in South Florida due to an injury incurred on the football field, his former attorney, Richard Sharpstein, told reporters.

"I think he was surprised or they were surprised to find him," he said.

Lindsay Lohan gets off easily with guys.

And now she reportedly gets off easily with the law, as well.

People magazine says the drunk dodged felony charges in her two drunken-driving cases, with prosecutors filing misdemeanor counts after tests found she possessed insufficient amounts of cocaine.

Unlike Michael Vick, the actress won't be seeing the inside of a cell for very long because she was charged with seven misdemeanor counts, including two each of driving under the influence, driving with blood alcohol of over .08 percent, being under the influence of cocaine and reckless driving.

The charges stem from two separate DUI incidents, one in May in Beverly Hills and one in July in Santa Monica.

In both cases, Lohan was making like Tara Conner (i.e. carrying cocaine). But in each instance, the amounts tested were below the .05 grams required by office policy for felony filing.

A conference before a Beverly Hills judge is set for Thursday afternoon, in which Lohan may enter a plea a day before her arraignment which was originally set for Friday.

The 21-year-old is currently in rehab at the Cirque Lodge program in Utah. She sucks.
