by Lydia Harris on Apr.27, 2013, under articles

Jeffrey Wright has been arrested in New York City early Saturday morning and was charged with a DWI. TMZ reports that he was pulled over by police officers in his Toyota Tacoma at around 3:00 AM EST for an unidentified traffic violation.
When officers approached the vehicle to secure his license and registration, they detected the odor of alcohol and performed a field sobriety test. He failed the test and was arrested and charged with DWI.
Wright has appeared in almost too many movies to name, but will next be seen by most of the free world in “The Hunger Games: Catching Fire.
He should have just hired a driver, it’s not like he can’t afford it, right? What do you think?

Stop us if you’ve heard this one before: Porn star Jenna Jameson has crashed into a pole. Ha. It looks like the jokes just write themselves when it comes to things that celebrities do. Jenna is no exception to the rule, either.
Earlier this morning, Jenna was driving her Range Rover in Orange County when she was allegedly drunk and crashed into a light pole. A witness called 911 and Jenna was given a field sobriety test on the scene. She failed the test and was carted off to jail where she was cited and has since been released.
The 911 caller revealed, “I was actually getting ready to call you guys because she was drunk. Next thing I know she went into the pole.”
Jenna sustained minor injuries as a result, but refused to seek medical attention.
2 Chainz Arrested For Brass Knuckles At LaGuardia Airport
by Noah Johnson on May.23, 2012, under articles

Rapper 2 Chainz was arrested at LaGuardia airport when TSA officials found that he was reportedly carrying brass knuckles in his carry-on luggage. He had no issue when flying to New York City, but when he wanted to leave the city at LaGuardia, officials questioned the item in his luggage.
He was arrested for having the supposed weapon in his luggage, but it was only because the TSA officials at the airport mistook the item in question. He was arrested for possession of a criminal weapon Tuesday afternoon. The officer told “MTV News”, “The knuckles were in his personal bag and sounded the alarm.”
As it turns out, they weren’t actually brass knuckles, but was a four-finger ring with the word “DOPE” on it in big lettering. His tour-mate Big Sean took to his official Twitter account to talk about the bust. He tweeted, “2 chainz ain’t have no brass knuckles, it was a 4 finger ring that spelled hood. We had a shoot yesturday n he was rockin em.”
George Clooney’s Mug Shot Photo: Where Is It?
by Jessica LeFevre on Mar.16, 2012, under articles

As we reported earlier today, George Clooney was arrested in Washington, DC today after crossing a police line on the steps of the Sudanese Embassy. He was there in protest of the conditions for the residents in the Nuba Mountains in Sudan. The government is trying to wipe out the population there using aerial bombs.
Prior to his arrest, he said, “First, immediately we need humanitarian aid to be allowed into the Sudan. Second they need to stop randomly killing innocent men, women and children. They need to stop raping them.”
George has since posted $100 bail, after he, his father and thirteen other people were arrested for the cause. Now, the online community is clamoring for a peek of the actor with his just right scruff and dapper looks — for his mug shot photo. Fans of the actor have been asking for the handsome mug shot photo, using the hashtag #FreeClooney on Twitter.
I’m sure if we could convince George that the release of the photo would benefit the cause, he might be down for releasing it himself. Still, we will wait patiently for the photo to surface online. So stay tuned — we’ll have it right here when it becomes available!
George Clooney Arrested (Photo)

George Clooney is in Washington, D.C., in front of the Sudanese Embassy where he was arrested by Secret Service agents!
As it turns out, George was there to protest the crisis currently going on in Sudan. His rep said, “They were protesting the violence committed by the government of Sudan on its own innocent men, women and children. They were demanding they allow humanitarian aid into the country before it becomes the largest humanitarian crisis in the world.”
Sources connected with George tell us he feels good about the arrest because it puts the spotlight on the crisis.
We’re told a dozen people got arrested including congressmen, leaders of the human rights community, Sudanese citizens, and George’s father … Nick Clooney.
Clooney recently shot a short documentary about the situation in Suadan, which he released no EnoughProject.com. WARNING — Video contains VERY graphic content.
WATCH: (Graphic video of the effects of violence in Sudan)
If they keep putting the spotlight on these types of crises, the more people will get involved. Kudos to George and everyone at the protest. What the Sudanese government is doing to their people is deplorable.
The Oscar winning actor followed in the footsteps of many Hollywood activists on Friday morning, getting arrested for civil disobedience and taken away by police when he was protesting outside the Sudanese Embassy in Washington, DC.
Clooney spoke passionately before being arrested, saying that he had two demands for the government of Sudan.
“First, immediately we need humanitarian aid to be allowed into the Sudan,” Clooney said, wearing a suit when he was handcuffed by the police.
“Second they need to stop randomly killing innocent men, women and children. They need to stop raping them.”
Update: Here is video footage of his arrest:
