    Another "has-been" life and career down the gutter. There is no excuse for that and she is her own worst enemy. I guess no one learns anything anymore. I'm just waiting for the news when she gets knocked up.

    It must be a trend to get DUIs and go to jail for these airheads. Can we please neuter/spay these stupid idiots? I mean, for all of the humanity, we don't need these idiots and we certainly don't need these brain dead 'things' breeding.

    you'd think these stars parents would learn from the embarassment of the Lohan, Hilton, Richey, and DEFINITELY Spears families to take better care of their kids especially in the horrors that come their way in Hollywood and all they have access to being famous.
