» Not The Wright Stuff

Jeffrey Wright, aka Basquiat, Martin Luther King, Jr., Tony-winning thespian, etc., was arrested along with his W costar Josh Brolin and several crew members after a bar fight in Shreveport, La. The men are in town shooting the Oliver Stone-directed George W. Bush biopic (Brolin's W, Wright is Colin Powell). Apparently, they all interfered with the arrest of a disorderly crew member. Wouldn't we all like to see the actual G.W. in jail? [CBS]

Shante Broadus, the (one must assume) long-suffering wife of Snoop Dogg, caught a lucky break now that she's of all DUI charges after she was arrested last month. The DA rejected the charges, saying there was not enough evidence that the reality show star was driving under the influence of marijuana. Luckily, being married to the biggest weedhead on earth can't be held against her in the court of law. [SP]

dmxmugagain.jpgDMX was arrested for the millionth time this year, this time as soon as he got off the plane in Arizona. He was returning from a jaunt to Miami, where he had been arrested for trying to buy cocaine and marijuana from an undercover officer. The rapper was arrested at the Phoenix airport on outstanding drug and driving charges, for which he is being held for over $10,000 jail. [AP]

dmxmug.jpgDMX was arrested a week ago for driving with a suspended license. Last month he was arrested for reckless driving, drugs, and animal cruelty. Last year he was arrested on other animal cruelty charges. And guess what happened over the weekend? DMX got arrested again! This time, he was trying to buy coke and marijuana from an undercover officer in Miami. Not that we're counting, but there have been four arrests since May 7th. Is it time for him to go to jail yet? [EUR]

SIT DOWN, DMX. JUST SIT DOWN. DMX was arrested at his Arizona home yesterday after traffic cameras on a suburban Phoenix freeway caught his bright yellow, 1966 Chevrolet (with a big DMX decal on the windshield) on three separate occasions going 100, 101 and 114 mph in a 65 mph zone. His lawyer said he had no comment, but we can probably guess his defense: "It wasn't me!" [SP]

dourdanmug1.jpgEx-CSI-star Gary Dourdan had a very good time yesterday in Palm Springs — police found him passed out in his vehicle at 5:21 a.m. and booked him for possession of heroin. Oh, and cocaine. And don’t forget the ecstasy. And throw in some prescription drugs for good measure.

Cops pulled him over around 4am Monday morning after they spotted his Mercedes weaving and he failed to dim his high beams. La La's gonna be pissed. [WP]

TIME FOR A WAKE-UP CALL Naomi Campbell is said to believe that she was only arrested at Heathrow airport last week and subsequently banned from British Airways because she was black. Not, of course, because she caused a scene, spit on police officers, and has a history of acting a damn fool. [SS]

Atlanta jails are starting to look like the audience at a hip hop awards show. Da Brat got a little rowdy last night — smashing a bottle of rum into a waitress's face — and then got a little arrested. Funny how that works.

Witnesses told police the incident started with an argument between Harris, 33, and a waitress at Studio 72, a club owned by Jermaine Dupri, the Atlanta record producer and rapper.

The argument escalated to shoving, witnesses said; then Harris is accused of grabbing a bottle of rum and hitting the waitress in the face. The victim was taken to the hospital with cuts on her face and above her eye.

Harris is being held at the DeKalb County jail.
