Mr. Toad's Wild Meth Ride
The girl who played Hilary Duff's BFF on the hit show "Lizzie McGuire" pled guilty to possession of crystal meth last year -- but managed to keep the whole thing under wraps.
Lalaine Vergara Paras, who played Miranda Sanchez on the Disney Channel show, was popped back in July and charged with felony possession of methamphetamine. But before the plea there was lots of drama. Paras was a no-show for a court appearance and the judge issued a $50,000 bench warrant for her arrest -- but it was recalled when she showed up in February.
Paras pled guilty to the crystal meth charge, but her record will be expunged when she completes a drug-treatment program. She's enrolled in the Asian American Drug Abuse Program.
Calls to Lalaine's reps were not returned.
Neighbors to McCartney: STFU!
Jesse McCartney is the perfect neighbor -- if you're a vampire!
J-Mac's neighbors are pissed about the former boybander's parties -- they don't get going until 2:30 in the frickin' morning and they last all night. A notice was sent around the neighborhood that calls out Jesse by name and tells people to call 911 when things get out of control.
We're told cops have busted up several of the 20-year-old's ragers, but no charges have been filed.
But really, who didn't see this coming? We got a photo of Jesse back in 2006 -- when he was 18!!! -- boozin' it up in a Hollywood club. The signs were there, people!
Aaron Carter Screws the Pooch
Aaron Carter's doggies were collateral damage when the cops busted him for allegedly driving with a bunch of marijuana.
Carter was popped in Texas yesterday on charges of possession of at least two ounces of pot. But he had two pit bulls with him at the time -- one puppy and one full-grown.
When AC was taken to jail, his dogs went to the pound. As soon as he was sprung, he went to Sam B. Coffey Animal Shelter to retrieve them -- and had to pay a $70 impound fee.
The woman who runs the shelter tells TMZ that Carter's dogs "were very, very well-trained" and that Aaron was "extremely happy to see his dogs and they were well cared-for."
He might have been just "extremely happy" not to be in jail anymore.

Linda to Hulk: Shut Yer Mouth ... I Ain't a Boozer!
The lawyer for Linda Bollea accused her soon-to-be ex Hulk of having "a very close relationship" with a tabloid reporter -- and vows to lay the legal "smackdown" on him in court. This is getting goooooooood.
The National Enquirer sought comment from Linda for a story they were writing, which according the mag, detailed her "erratic behavior, her drinking habits and verbally abusive language directed at both her husband and her children."
Cops: Lil' Wayne Had a Lot O' Dope!
TMZ has learned rapper Lil' Wayne has been hit with some big time charges -- possession of cocaine, possession of ecstasy and possession of drug paraphernalia. Make it rain!
Wayne, real name Dwayne Carter, was arrested with two others who have been charged with possession of marijuana. Cops say they found 105 grams of marijuana, 29 grams of cocaine and 41 grams of ecstasy pills on his tour bus -- after they stopped at a Border Patrol checkpoint.
Police also found $22,000 in cash and a 40-caliber pistol, but Wayne, we're told, does have a permit to carry a concealed weapon in the state of Florida. They tell us they're checking to see if that carries over to Arizona.
The judge set his bond at $10,000. He should be released in a lil' while.

Jessica Sierra Loves Her Some 'Crackers'
"American Idol" reject Jessica Sierra called her aunt from jail -- after being arrested this weekend -- to ask if anyone called her attorney and to say, "I don't give a f**k what they say happened." A winning attitude!
Sierra called her Aunt Sheila on the Monday after her Saturday night arrest for disorderly intoxication, violation of probation and obstruction of justice -- but that's apparently all news to Jess. She told her aunt, "I don't even know what they arrested me for, " adding "I din't fight nobody but the police, little stupid f***ing crackers!"
Here's a hint. Pure class that one.
UPDATE: Jessica was in a Florida courtroom this morning and pleaded not guilty to violating her probation. She was ordered to remain in jail until her next hearing on December 20.

'Idol Castoff' Another Big Bust
Just two weeks after being sentenced to a year of probation, "American Idol" season four finalist Jessica Sierra was arrested again. Oh, how the wannabeens have fallen.
Officers were called to the Full Moon Saloon in Florida around 2:00 AM today, where she allegedly caused a disturbance. When the popo asked her to leave, she refused and was popped.
According to the charge report, Sierra was charged with two misdemeanors (disorderly intoxication and obstructing or opposing an officer) and two felonies (possession of cocaine and felony battery). She is currently in the Orient Road Jail with no bond.
Sierra, who finished tenth on "Idol" back in 2005, was given probation just two weeks ago for an April incident in which she threw a glass at someone's head. The judge in that case will almost certainly throw the book at her for violating probation.
Sierra spent several months earlier this year in rehab and will be appearing in the new VH1 show "Celebrity Rehab with Dr. Drew." We're thinkin' it didn't work so great.
Lohan Arrest Coke Found
Lindsay Lohan was popped for possession of cocaine, driving under the influence, transporting a narcotic into a custodial facility and driving on a suspended license. Sources say her blood alcohol level was between .12 and .13, well over the .08 legal limit.
Cops tell TMZ cocaine was found in her pants pocket.
Megan Fox Pro-Pot
"Transformers" star and Angie Jolie look-alike Megan Fox admits to dabbling in illegal substances -- and loving a little weed.
In a recent interview with Maxim magazine, the lippy starlet admitted that she's tried nearly every drug under the sun. "I've done drugs, and that's how I know I don't like them."
Ever the consumer reporter, Fox "tried several things" in order to "make an informed decision, but I didn't enjoy anything other than marijuana." In fact, says Fox, "I don't even think of it as a drug -- it should be legalized." Is it 4:20 yet?
Fox also discusses the white powdery stuff, and she's not talking snow. Says Fox, "Cocaine is back with a vengeance ... Celebrities aren't trying to hide it, except when people have camera phones."
"I know about five people who aren't on drugs today, and I'm one of them." Perhaps Fox should make some new friends.
Al Gore's Son Busted!
Al Gore III, the 24-year-old son of Al Gore was arrested on suspicion of drug possession today. The former second-in-command's son was pulled over after allegedly driving his Prius 100 miles an hour down an Orange County freeway. (At least he was driving a Prius!) When deputies searched the car they found pot, along with Valium, Xanax, Vicodin and Adderall. He is currently being held at the Santa Ana Inmate Reception Center on $20,000 bail.
This isn't Gore III's first arrest. He was charged with marijuana possession in 2003 and was ticketed for reckless driving in 2000 and 2002.
Tara Reid -- Train Wreck on the Party Train!
The lovely Tara Reid hit Las Vegas over the weekend -- and let's just say she partied without a break til' the break of dawn!
Taradise landed at JET nightclub at the Mirage around 3:00 AM, and her party sipped Grey Goose vodka in the VIP area. Sources inside the club tell TMZ this was the last stop on a whirlwind Vegas club tour. She closed down the club -- leaving at 4:30 AM! The early bird catches the worm -- the tequila worm!
Tara had the nerve to ask a drunk dude to leave her VIP booth ... because he was wasted. Pot, kettle, kettle, pot.
Elvis' Drugs For Sale
The King may have left the building but his prescription pills are still here: A bottle that contained Elvis Presley's prescription antihistamines was sold this week at an auction for more than $2,600. That's a mighty expensive prescription plan! While the bottle still contained some of The King's original pills, L.A. County police told auction house Julien's that it would be a federal crime to sell the bottle with pills included.
Other unusual Hollywood ephemera sold during the auction included a gold-plated gun owned by the Elvis, which sold for more than $28,000; Alfred Hitchcock's passport, which went for more than $19,000; and a prop umbrella once used by Marilyn Monroe for $42,000. The umbrella will become part of the collection of the Museum of Style Icons in County Kildare, Ireland.
Is Nicole Back in Rehab for Diet and Drugs?
Reports are swirling that tabloid princess Nicole Richie is back -- yet again -- in rehab and more "helpless" than ever, but TMZ is told that it just ain't so. In fact, as we write, Nicole's sitting at home in Glendale, and doing just fine.
The National Enquirer and Star magazine are jointly reporting that Nicole re-entered rehab at Beau Monde on May 11 to fight anorexia and a painkiller addiction, on an outpatient basis, and that she did so "in tears," lamenting the fact that she's "lost control of her life." What's more, report the tabs' sources, she went back in just a few days ago, on the 19th.
But Richie's rep tells TMZ a totally different story, namely that she isn't -- and wasn't -- in rehab, and that she's "in Glendale at her house" (and, we presume, eating). We're told that she did go back to see her therapist, and that her recovery is "an ongoing process," but that she's "completely sober."
Paris Hilton's Corpse Educates Teens!
Viewing Paris Hilton's naked body could save lives!
An interactive anti-drunk driving Public Service Announcement titled "Paris Hilton Autopsy," created by artist Daniel Edwards, features a life-size clay sculpture of a naked, tiara-clad Paris Hilton, complete with a Tinkerbell replica at her side. What about her Blackberry?!
The "art" installation is designed to counter "the disturbingly glamorized trend of Hollywood's girls gone wild," and is highlighted with Hilton laid out on a coroner's table with "removable innards." That's about the only part of the heiress the world hasn't seen!
In the last year, Paris, Nicole Richie, Michelle Rodriguez, and most recently, Eve were just a few of the celebs who joined the Hollywood DUI club.
If you want to get a look at Hilton's lifeless, nude body in person, you're going to have to make a trip to the Capla Kesting gallery in Brooklyn. Unless, of course, you are Stavros Niarchos, Travis Barker, Josh Henderson!

Lindsay: Dump Some Bum Chums
Lindsay Lohan will have a hard time staying clean and sober if she doesn't have a strong support group after rehab. That means she'll need to surround herself with an entirely new entourage -- who won't enable her addiction.
Just before entering rehab, our spies caught Lindsay "dining" with friends at Orso in Los Angeles. Lohan ordered a salad, and barely touched a leaf. When she ordered a cocktail and was asked to show her ID, Linds recoiled and asked for a water instead. Our spy then watched as her friends ordered drink after drink for her -- which Lohan consumed. After lunch, Lindsay jumped into her Mercedes convertible and sped off with the stereo blaring.
Hopefully, after her visit to Wonderland, she'll be attending only tea parties with a better group of friends.
