3. Damn, another celebrity DUI.
WTF is going on that these people have to get behind the wheel after too much partying?
He'll pay a fine, go into rehab and get probation.
He's not black, so I'm sure there won't be any racial comments today.

6. I don't understand....

All of these people are getting stopped for DUI's, drugs.....wouldn't it just make sense to get a driver? Rent a limo.....Pay a driver? This way, you can drink, smoke, snort......while someone else makes sure they don't run anyone over......

HOLLYWOOD is a DISGRACE.....

7. I know.
Whenever there is a story regarding a black person, the "n" word comes out and things get ugly. I'm curious to see if that will happen with this story.

8. It's funny that Taboo (and the Peas) are always boasting that they are a "positive hip-hop group". Great role model.

14. Hollywood, the drug capital of the world.
Celebrities and musicians who get paid WAY too much money
are either snorting, shooting, smoking or drinking chemicals.
WTF, can't these pampered elite deal with the real world?
Gee, I really feel for them. NOT.
