Tell It To The Judge -- Dayne Popped for DUI

Posted May 16th 2008 5:18PM by TMZ Staff

TMZ has learned '80s sensation Taylor Dayne was popped for DUI back on March 6. Poor thing even gets arrested in this town and no one notices.

Cops say the 46-year-old Dayne was arrested around 1:00 A.M. after she failed field sobriety tests.

The L.A. County D.A. has charged the singer with one count of misdemeanor DUI. Dayne's attorney, Scott Spindel, tells us she was originally stopped for speeding. He claims she blew below the legal limit -- .07 -- but is being charged for blowing above the legal limit. He says they "intend to vigorously fight this case."

She'll be back in court on June 2.

6. The music business is a cold place to make a living, the moment you get to the top or near the top the bottom falls out and there's another talent stepping right over your body. It's hard to believe it's been over 20 years since she was a big star.

15. Sounds like Taylor Dayne went looking for her "Joshua Tree," instead she found the LAPD with a big fat DUI.
