61. I am so over the Hollywood drunks and their irresponsibility. Pretty soon, some A, B or C-lister will take out a whole family.

62. He is out there doing so much good for people in need, possibly including families with alcoholics and or drug addicts. And after all of those people he has helped, he has the audacity to drink and drive!! He has helped people with family members lost, and some with perminant perallasis, yet he chooses to drink and drive. I am having a hard time believing that he is as a good of a person as his reputation says. He may not be an alcoholic, but he'll be in rehab soon. And then it will all be over and some other celebrity will do it. I think that if you have a certain sized income, the law should fine him an EXTREMELY HIGHER percentage of fines. Plus community service cleaning up after victims of other DUI incidents. If they see the bodies of people left due to someone else's drinking and driving people in general might stop. HE NEEDS HELP!!

63. Driving is a privilege, not a right.
If getting drunk or using drugs is your thing then before you go out for the night, have a reservation with a car service (Limo or Taxi) to take you home.
That's COOL.
Putting other peoples lives in danger is selfish and very not Cool.
Simple as that.

64. Not sticking up for what Ty did at all. But how many of us have done the same thing and luckily not gotten anyone killed, or not even been caught? If it was you or I this wouldn't be news....

65. The richer they are the stupider they get. This guy has enough money to hire a fleet of limosines .. one to carry him, another to carry his ugly wardrobe and another for his hairdresser.. OH wait.. he doesn't HAVE a barber.
Sure he can give away houses to people who are in dire need, but DUH! doesn't he have to keep up appearances when he's NOT in front of the camera's?
ABC should give him a Go-Kart to drive from now on.

66. Celebrities are just human, they make mistakes and bad judgement calls just like the rest of us humans, yes, its stupid, they have the money to hire a driver, but this goes back to being human and making those bad judgement calls. He should not be fired from his job, that is to much, he does a lot of good for people. Lets just hope he learns from his mistakes the first time, pays his dues to everyone likes the rest of us would have to do and never drive drunk again.

67. All the good he does for people???? hahaha...funny...it's
his FREAKING JOB!


He gets paid a huge salary to be on extreme
makeover. His first book, Ty's Tricks, published by Hyperion in
2003, was a New York Times bestseller.In addition to being an author,
Pennington has just signed an exclusive multi-year agreement with
Sears. When he was in his final semester at college, Ty was
approached by a modeling scout and traveled the world and modeled for
various clothing companies and appeared in television commercials. He
moved to Los Angeles to pursue his acting career, and appeared in the
independent film, The Adventures of Ociee Nash, playing aviation
pioneer Wilbur Wright.LOL HE IS AN ACTOR!!!! All those tears he
drops are for ratings...the media has really fooled you guys!

68. Ok, so he may have had a few drinks or whatever. We all know how the media works. I don't believe half of what they report anymore. Anyone who has ever had their face on TV, movie screen or in the paper, if they fart, someone from the rag mag's are right there to make a buck of of it. These people make me fricking sick!!

73. Hey Ty? Why didn't you just ask the bus driver to MOVE THAT BUS to transport your stupid ass home!?????? I'm sorely disappointed in you!

74. Nearly every adult who drinks and who has gone out to clubs or bars more than a couple dozen times has drank and drove.
Hell, I am a 36 year old prude, and I have driven while drunk. Most people do not realize that drinking 2 mixxed drinks in less than 2 hours will get you over the legal limit to drive.
I do not condone drinking and driving, and it is horribly dangerous, but most adults have done it.
It is the ones who have done it that want to hold Eve, Paris, Ty, etc. to higher standards than they hold themselves...
