Former Jacksonville Jaguar superstar Jimmy Smith was arrested at a Jacksonville gas station this afternoon for possession of narcotics.
State troopers pulled over the 40-year-old for an unknown reason. Smith pulled into the gas station, where he was arrested. At some point during the incident, we're told Smith asked the officers if he could use the restroom. Officers obliged and escorted him into the gas station bathroom -- as you can see in the photo on the left.
Smith has a long history of substance abuse -- he was arrested for DUI back in August 2008 and was suspended by the NFL in 2003 for violating the substance abuse policy.
Smith made five straight Pro Bowls playing for the Jacksonville Jaguars. He finished his career seventh in NFL history with 862 catches and 11th in league history with 12,287 yards.

So why does Amy Winehouse look a lot less cracky these days? It's a dirty little secret.
We found out lil' Amy has been hanging at the Rasul massage chamber at the Cotton Bay Village in Saint Lucia -- where they smear mud on her face and body to "exfoliate the skin, draw out impurities and infuse rich nutrients to restore and revive."
So if the mud is designed to remove toxins -- how deep must Amy be buried in mud?? Just askin'...

Paris Hilton's DUI/probation violation file has officially been closed -- for now.
TMZ has exclusively obtained court documents signed by Hilton, proving that she completed her required substance abuse education classes on June 25 -- while she was still behind bars -- er, iron ones. She was released from Lynwood Jail at 12:01 AM on June 26. No hearts in her signature this time!
Hilton isn't totally out of the woods yet; she is on probation until January 2010. However, if she violates probation again, she will face the very same judge who sent her to the pokey in May.

Robert Downey Jr. has been tapped to play the Marvel comic book character "Iron Man" in its film adaptation. Downey worked out and grew a goatee in the hopes of convincing the producers that he was the right man for the job.
The complex character of Tony Stark (aka Iron Man) is far more complex then meets the eye. In fact, the similarities to Downey's own life are uncanny, as the character is a man whose life is plagued by substance abuse and chaos.
Marvel Entertainment executive Kevin Fergie said "We cannot think of another actor better suited to bring one of Marvel's crown jewels to the big screen."
Filming will begin in February.
