We've just learned Gary Collins was booked today in Santa Barbara County, Cal. and is now under house arrest.

Gary was busted back in January for driving a motor home drunk in Santa Barbara -- so drunk that his BAC was an astounding .29, which is more than 3 times the legal limit.

Collins has been sentenced to 120 days, but could only serve 72 days if he abides by the rules.

As easy as it is to talk a drunk 18-year-old out of her tank top -- Joe Francis has just been sprung from house arrest.

A Federal Court in L.A today released Joey boy from casa lockdown in his tax evasion case.

Joe had been in the doghouse after being 5 hours late for a hearing last week. Joe said he was too sick to make the trek to court.

The judge didn't buy it and placed him on house arrest -- until the doc came in today and backed up Joe's story.
