5. Wow! Vicodin, pot and booze. Amazing she could drive at all.

What's with so many 'celebrities' being so out of control? Too much money, not enough brains?

7. "Wrong-Way" Richie. I wonder what Brandy Norwood and Lane Garrison would do to her in a prison cell one night after lights-out???????

8. Okay so it took them over 2 months to decide what to charge her with? If that was any one of us, it would have been immediate. God, I hate these privileged assholes.

9. You know she will be let off the hook...c'mon you know she will probably have to pay a fine and that's it....and maybe do some community service...they need to lock her away I don't care where. I am so fricking sick of these friggin people

11. I'm glad that she was charged. Enough of this "I'm a celebrity, I should get special treatment". It's time for her to actually be accountable for something. Maybe this will force her to grow up; you can't hang out with Herpes Hilton all your life, honey...

12. I agree. She probalby will be left off the hook because they really took awhile to come to the conclusion she should be charged. What could work against her is her past history with the law but I doubrt she'll suffer in any real way.

I don't care what people say about how "happy and stable" she has become due to her new fling. This girl has some SERIOUS unresolved issues. She won't truly be on the right path until she owns up to a few things.

13. TMZ, check out where she was the night of the Grammy's. Daddy said (when interviewed on the red carpet and was asked about her) "Well, she was supposed to be my date, but she's doing a photo shoot."
That so?

Poor Lionel appeared a bit uncomfortable when asked the question.

15. Doesn't a third DUI become a felony in California? I think that's a mandatory prison, not jail, sentence. She'd better hire a driver 'cause she'll be doin' hard time in prison if she keeps this up.
