More information has surfaced in the Nicole Richie DUI arrest.

According to Officer Todd Workman, a spokesman for the California Highway Patrol, “She volunteered the information that she had smoked marijuana and taken Vicodin,” a prescription painkiller. However officials did not find any drugs on her or in the car. Workman stated that the results of drug tests have not come back.

Authorities are still trying to contact the 911 callers who originally reported a black SUV driving the wrong way on the freeway. The callers are potential witnesses in the incident and more charges may be filed depending on any statements obtained.

Nicole is scheduled for arraignment on February 7^th. She was released on her own recognizance after bail was set at $15,000.

Richie’s driver’s license listed her weight as 100 pounds but she told officers she weighed 85 pounds and was 5-foot-1, Workman said.

Nicole has told Vanity Fair magazine that she acknowledges that she is “too thin” and was receiving treatment to gain weight.

Richie is another celebrity who is famous for being famous and is best known for starring with hot and cold best friend Paris Hilton in “The Simple Life.”

Paris Hilton has her own legal issues to deal with as she was charged with misdemeanor drunken driving after her September 7 arrest in Hollywood. Hilton’s arraignment is set for December 20^th.

The California Highway Patrol says it has arrested Nicole Richie for suspicion of driving under the influence of alcohol near Burbank, California.

The incident occurred early Monday after authorities received several 911 calls about a black Mercedes SUV driving the wrong way on the freeway. The Highway Patrol found Ms Richie stopped in the car pool lane when they arrived. After she failed a field sobriety test, she was placed in custody.

Ms Richie was booked in Glendale then was tested for drugs and alcohol before being released Monday morning. The results of the drug test have not been released yet.

Your Therapy:

I doubt Ms Richie could pass the field sobriety test sober, let alone intoxicated. I’m not saying that to be mean. If you’ve seen the “Simple Life,” you might also wonder how either Nicole Richie or Paris Hilton has a driver’s license. I know I’d feel safer if neither Nicole nor Paris was driving. Can’t these girls afford a chauffeur?

I’m also wondering how many drinks it takes Nicole to be intoxicated. She’s so thin she might get drunk gargling with mouth wash. So take some advice Nicole, gain some weight and get a driver.

It seems the new dynamic duo of ditzy diva dystopia is at it again. Paris Hilton is famous for being famous - a seeming impossibility likened to that of the Chicken-Egg Dilemma (which came first?). She has found the perpetual motion machine of pop culture and set it in motion. She doesn’t act (well) or sing (well) or anything else, she just appears at events and people talk about her. Paris Hilton is to Pop Culture what Einstein was to science.

On the other hand we have Britney Spears who can dance and sing and has her own pop culture PhD. Even as Britney’s pop music output diminished, her pop culture output skyrocketed as she started getting married (twice) and having children (twice) to keep herself in the news.

These super geniuses have conceived an evil scheme to make Dr. Evil himself envious and I’m going to drop the dime on it right here for you, my faithful readers.

Britney and Paris are attempting to create the perfect pop culture storm. You have the positive and negative ions of Britney and Paris, southern innocent country school girl and northern world-wise sophisticate.

Now to the plot, it seems they have been seen in public in some very intimate poses with Paris’s hands on Britney’s thigh etc, etc. What better way to spread these rumors than to deny them publicly. By combining the public’s fascination for lesbians, young blondes, pop music and partying, Doctors Spears and Hilton are creating a Pop Culture Supercollider capable of perpetuating their celebrity for eternity.

For those of you who still haven’t caught on to what I’m saying, let me give it to you straight. Britney and Paris are “wagging the dog” and taking the art of being famous for being famous to a new level. All we can do is look on in astonishment.

In a bizarre life imitates art scenario, Wesley Snipes has reprised his role as a fugitive on the run from his 1998 movie “US Marshalls.” Mr. Snipes was indicted in October for claiming fraudulent refunds in the amount of $12 million. The refunds were against taxes already paid. He is also accused of failing to file returns from 1999 to 2004.

Mr. Snipes arrived in Orlando on a private jet on December 8^th for a court date in Ocala. According to an unnamed official Snipes voluntarily surrendered without indecent.

The indictment states that that Mr. Snipes had his taxes prepared by an accounting firm, American Rights Litigators, which has a notorious history of filing fraudulent returns. The firm would apparently receive 20 percent of the refunds for its efforts.

Mr. Snipes claims he is a scapegoat, he was taken advantage of and that he has been unfairly targeted by prosecutors. He faces a penalty of 16 years if convicted.

Your Therapy:

Can these Hollywood guys ever get enough? He allegedly claimed more in refunds then most people MAKE in their lifetimes. This has to be Karma sending a message to Wesley, “Hey Wesley, you’re rich and famous, be happy with what you have!” Oh well, this may give him some inspiration in case they every make a sequel to “US Marshalls.”

If there is one bright spot in all this, it may be that hopefully we will be spared a “Blade IV.”

Every relationship is different and some couples have more trouble communicating than others, but Eddie Murphy may have found a very indirect route of breaking up, or Melanie Brown is just not listening.
On Monday Melanie Brown landed in LAX only to find out from friends that a Dutch television show aired with Eddie Murphy denying to be the father of Mel’s child and stating that they are not together anymore. I suppose he figured she would get the news one way or another.

If she didn’t get the hint from him saying “We’re not together anymore,” in the interview, along with “And I don’t know whose child that is, until it comes out and has a blood test. You shouldn’t jump to conclusions, sir.”, then maybe she would catch on when Eddie took his new girlfriend Tracey Edmonds to the Dreamgirls movie premeire that same day? Maybe not.

The former Scary Spice Girl insists that Eddie is the father, believes the couple is still together and is upset about the whole ordeal. Brown and Murphy started dating shortly after Eddie was divorced from his wife Nicole of 12 years.

Paris Hilton, whom we affectionately refer to as “Bare-Ass” Hilton for her seeming inability to keep her private parts covered, has declared that she wants children. A lot of children in fact, as she reportedly told Life & Style Weekly “It’s been my dream to have four babies by 30.” She also stated that her previous experience qualified her for the job, “I look after animals, so I’d have a lot to give my kids.”

This apparent new found love for children comes from her experiences with gal pal of the moment Britney Spears. Paris has been hanging around with Britney and her two small children and has grown quite found of them. So fond in fact that she has been neglecting the activity she is most famous for, partying, so that she can she can spend time with Britney’s children. She recently cut short one such party excursion saying “We’re going home to the babies. We miss them.”

Your Therapy:

Miss Hilton has shown the world she knows how to make babies via the amateur porno film that made her famous. The question is, will she be a good mother? Our bet is she will because she has enough money to hire the best darn nannies around. Plus we can only hope that motherhood will convince “Bare-Ass” to put some panties on and stay out of the news for awhile.

People magazine’s web site has reported that actors Jennifer Aniston and Vince Vaughn have called it quits. The announcement was made by representatives for the couple.

“Jennifer and Vince mutually agreed to end their relationship but continue to be good friends today,” said representatives John Pisani and Stephen Huvane.

Apparently, Jen decided to end their whirlwind romance after a trip to London in October.

Aniston, 37, and Vaughn, 36, have battled rumors and innuendo from the start with speculation first about the beginning of their relationship then about marriage. However there was constant speculation of a breakup through out their relationship.

The actors met while filming “The Break-Up” in 2005 which lead immediately to rumors of romance which both initially denied, stating instead that they were “friends” (no pun intended). Frequent sightings of the couple together in various locations led to more rumors but the coupled stayed mum about their blossoming relationship, including whispers of an engagement

The honeymoon was over before it began though as rumors of a breakup begun to circulate. Vince played the uncharacteristic tough guy roll and threatened to sue British and American tabloids which reported that he was stepping out on Jen and was planning to break with Aniston.

Vaughn is currently starring in a holiday comedy called “Fred Claus.” He is well known for his roles in “Wedding Crashers” and “Old School.” Aniston became famous as the ditzy pretty girl Rachel in the television comedy “Friends” and films such as “Office Space” and “The Good Girl”. She is probably just as famous for being Brad Pitt’s wife as she is for her acting.
