Former CSI Star, Gary Dourdan Arrested Again

Working on CSI was the best therapy for Gary Dourdan. It seemed like it kept him out of trouble and off drugs. But, he wanted off the show. Season 9 opened with Dourdan's character dying in the arms of his friend Gus Grissom. Since CSI, Dourdan faced a Palm Springs arrest for heroin and cocaine possession in 2008. And now, Dourdan's been arrested again, this time for possession of ecstasy after a 3:30 a.m. crash of his SUV into a parked Ford pickup truck.

It's one heck of a decline for an actor voted the most sexy CSI cast member ever by fans of the show.

What can you say, Gary Dourdan......coming to a parked car near you!

Michelle Yeoh Deported By Burma For Playing Democracy Activist In THE LADY

Beautiful Malaysian actress Michelle Yeoh, who is best known in the United States for her roles in CROUCHING TIGER and also the James Bond action film, TOMORROW NEVER DIES, has been deported from Burma for her portrayal of human rights activist Aung Sang Suu Kyl. Michelle Yeoh is one of the most successful Asian actresses to have many breakthrough roles in films that receive wide American distribution compared to so many Hong Kong based actors who never receive all that much fame in the States.

In the film, THE LADY, Yeoh expertly portrays the life of Kyl who spent more than a decade under house arrest in Burma. The French-English film is directly by Luc Besson, who often directs films where the subject is a heroic female. And Michelle is a very strong actress with excellent credentials to cast as a lead.

You can probably expect THE LADY to get a lot of buzz for awards honors.

Gilbert Gottfried Doing Sold Out Gigs And Has A New HUSTLER Interview

Fans of Gilbert Gottfried have been real loyal to him, where he just got done playing two sold out shows in Detroit and moved on to a big show at Caroline's Comedy Club in New York. Showtime Family Channel is airing his version of JACK AND THE BEANSTALK this weekend. He did an interview on radio station WRIF and the new issue of HUSTLER also has a major new interview with the comic. Gilbert Gottfried's career appears to be moving on nicely, with little impact from flap with AFLAC a few months ago when he Tweeted some jokes in the wake of the Japan earthquake. This is important. It proves that most folks realized that a joke is a joke, and that Gilbert meant no harm with milking a few laughs from any opportunity for a joke.

The HUSTLER interview is a big piece for Gilbert, and a must read for any of his fans. It gives Gilbert a great forum to be funny as well as candid, and is one of his best interviews ever. The comic genius is no doubt glad to see so much fan support and real lasting impact from the bad news fallout from a few months ago.

Former Utah Jazz Player Arrested In Major Drug Bust

Former NBA Utah Jazz player Jose Ortiz was arrested in San Juan, Puerto Rico in a major drug bust by federal agents where 218 marijuana plants and 40 rounds of assault weapon ammunition were seized as evidence. Ortiz now faces a minimum sentence of at least five years in a federal prison if convicted of intent to distribute illegal drugs.

Ortiz ranks as one of the greatest players ever to hail from Puerto Rico. He was a great player for the Utah Jazz, with impressive skills. But, apparently Ortiz's defense for the charges stems from some drug problems of his own as he has agreed to enter a drug rehab program and remain there until his appearance for trial on the serious drug charges.

Some former NBA players have fallen hard since their days in the sports league. Ortiz now apparently joins that dubious hall of shame.

David Duchovny And Tea Leone Split

Former X-FILES star David Duchovny and his wife Tea Leone have separated, although they haven't formally filed for divorce yet. For years their marriage has been strained. Duchovny entered rehab back in 2008 claiming to suffer from sex addiction, although no such condition is recognized by the American Psychiatric Association to exist.

Duchovny was never caught up in any cheating scandal by his wife, rather, he claimed to be having an addiction to viewing Internet pornography. This certainly sounds strange. Don't most guys just surf for this sort of stuff out of curiosity, and then eventually shut their computers off at some point and go on with their life? If Duchovny couldn't control his own behavior, then maybe he had some sort of compulsive personality issues to address. It wasn't like he was actually cheating on his wife, yet Duchovny believed that he was troubled enough to seek professional help. Yet, his marriage seemed to still be troubled even after seeking help for whatever personality disorders that he believed that he suffered from.

However, one report claims that it's not the problems of David Duchovny that actually ended the marriage of the two. There is a report that David found sexually explicit text messages on Tea's cell phone from 53 year old actor Billy Bob Thornton that actually broke things up. That's interesting, because for so long David was cast as the problem in this relationship. Now, it seems like it takes two to mess up a marriage.

Tom Petty Upset At Michele Bachmann

Tom Petty is pretty upset at presidential candidate Michele Bachmann, and he won't back down. It seems Bachmann's campaign has been using Petty's song, "American Girl," on her rising star campaign where some polls now have her nearly running neck and neck with front-runner Mitt Romney for the Republican nomination.

As a rule, recording artists generally don't like candidates using their songs because they may not approve of their political views or else an artist fears that it may send a wrong message to their audience that they support some opinions that might be bad for for business. Bachmann is well known for many pointed jabs at the Gay community or statements supportive of Christian right social conservative political views that Tom Petty might fear are bad for business among his more socially liberal fans.

Many rock artists tend to have very liberal views, while many country artists tend to have much more conservative political views. A politician's political team usually has to do a little homework to find a song where the artist is a supporter or else doesn't really mind a campaign using their song because they don't worry about it hurting their reputation among some fans.

In some cases, some artists don't want their songs to be used, even if they support a candidate. Sam Moore from the legendary Sam & Dave duo just didn't want the Obama campaign using "Hold On, I'm Coning" during the 2000 election cycle. John McCain's campaign faced problems with the group Heart and some other acts such as Jackson Browne when his campaign used their songs.

Bachmann has had a weird week despite sharply rising poll numbers. Normally conservative leaning FOX News Sunday anchor Chris Wallace had to issue an apology to her for calling her a "flake" on this past weekend's show. Then Tom Petty was unhappy at her for using his song. Also today, news came out that Michele Bachmann's husband had received over $137,000 in Medicaid payments to his mental health clinic for low income patients while his wife has been a vocal opponent of the Medicaid program and is well known Tea Party platform supporter. All of these stories have only served as a distraction for a candidate who's gaining some real traction among conservative voters as Mitt Romney's chief rival to win the GOP nomination in 2012. A week earlier, an entertainer at a GOP event in New Orleans was yanked off the stage when he began to tell Michele Bachmann jokes. A Canadian newspaper poked fun at Bachmann today, noting that she confused John Wayne and John Wayne Gacy, yet is surging in the U.S. polls.

Update: Now it seems that one hit wonder band, Katrina And The Waves(remember them from the 1980's?), have joined Tom Petty in opposing Michele Bachmann's campaign using their song, "Walking On Sunshine"in some events. God only knows how many other one hit wonder artists, who are probably mostly 7-11 employees these days, will emerge to oppose Michele Bachmann using one of their songs. Only Time will tell.....
