Kim Richards Charged in Drunken Rampage
Kim Richards' Hail Mary didn't work. Despite cleaning up her act in rehab, she's just been charged with multiple crimes for her drunken, Beverly Hills escapade.
The "Real Housewives of Beverly Hills" castmate claims she was distraught after watching the reunion shows and went to the Beverly Hills Hotel, where she was booted from the restaurant around 1:30 AM after the maitre d' claimed she was out-of-control drunk. Cops say they had to drag her out of the bathroom and when they took her to jail she kicked a cop.
The L.A. County D.A. clearly wasn't swayed that Kim checked herself into a Malibu rehab, because we've learned she's now been charged with public intoxication, resisting arrest and battery on a cop.
So Kim now has problems. First, worst case scenario, she could be sentenced to 2 1/2 years in jail. Second, we're told producers have her on the chopping block and the prospect of jail won't help her case.
One housewife at a time in the slammer please ... and Teresa Giudice has that spot.

'Longmire' Star Deputy Ferg Busted for DUI ... JUUUUUST Over the Limit
Adam Bartley -- the lovable, bumbling Deputy Ferguson on "Longmire" -- just got a taste of his own medicine ... a skosh too much to drink landed him in jail for DUI.
Bartley was pulled over April 26th in Santa Fe, NM after a cop saw him driving a '93 Dodge pickup sans seat belt.
The officer says he smelled alcohol on Bartley's breath, and the actor folded like a cheap suit admitting he had "a few drinks."
Bartley performed poorly on multiple field sobriety tests ... so claim the cops. The breathalyzer was a heartbreaker ... .09, just over the .08 legal limit.
Bartley was arrested and charged with DUI, careless driving, and no seat belt.
"Longmire" originally aired on A&E. It got cancelled last year but it's since been picked up by Netflix.

Adrian Peterson SHOTS ON ME Buys Vodka for Entire Texas Bar!
He may not be a Cowboy (yet) ... but they sure as hell loved Adrian Peterson in Texas this weekend ... when the guy walked into a bar ... and bought EVERYONE a shot of vodka!
It all went down at the Flying Pug Bar in Houston on Sunday night ... where sources tell TMZ Sports the running back was the life of the party from the moment he walked in the door.
We're told AP enjoyed some whiskey ... but wanted to make sure everyone else got their drank on too -- so he ponied up for a round Grey Goose on him.
The fun didn't stop there ... 'cause Peterson's group moved the party down the street to another bar called Exit 73 ... and continued to rage!
The best part of the story ... Peterson played it SAFE at the end of the night and let a sober pal drive him home.

Any Juggalos planning to gather for their heroes, Insane Clown Posse ... should put those plans on ice because Shaggy 2 Dope's lingering DUI probation just sandbagged the band's tour.
ICP's rep confirms they had to cancel the remaining dates of their "Marvelous Missing Link In-Store Insanity Tour" due to Shaggy's probation constraints following his 2012 DUI arrest.

Braylon Edwards Ex-NFL Star Arrested ... Extreme DUI (Mug Shot)
Former NFL wide receiver Braylon Edwards was arrested for DUI in Scottsdale, Arizona last week ... and cops say he was EXTREMELY wasted ... TMZ Sports has learned.
The 32-year-old -- who played for the Browns, Jets and 49ers during his NFL career -- was pulled over in the early hours of May 4th ... according to police records.
Cops say Braylon's blood alcohol level was more than .20 -- more than twice the legal limit and considered an "extreme DUI" in Scottsdale.
It's the 2nd time Edwards has been arrested for driving under the influence in the past 5 years -- he was popped for drunk driving in 2010.
Braylon was also named in a battery report in 2013 for attacking a photographer in Detroit ... an incident that was captured on video.
Attempts to reach Braylon for comment have been unsuccessful.
Edwards was the 3rd overall pick in the 2005 NFL Draft. He last played in the league back in 2012.

GWAR Singer Vulvatron Fired Over Booze ... Swears, 'I'm No Drunk!'
A GWAR of gwords is going down between the metal band and its fired singer Vulvatron -- they say she's a reckless drunk, but she says she totally parties responsibly.
Last week on Facebook, GWAR's Brent Purgason put Kim Dylla -- Vulvatron's not her Christian name -- on full blast for getting obliterated before shows. Although the band's official release was more PC ... Purgason's post claimed booze was affecting Kim's performance.
Kim tells TMZ ... yes, she'd typically have a few beers before a concert, but denies getting wasted. More importantly, she points out the band wears ridiculous outfits and sings about sex, drugs and worldwide destruction -- so guzzling a few beers should NOT be a big deal.
But she says what really chaps her ass is the fact GWAR is looking to hire a new singer to slip into her fake blood spurting boobs. She's upset because she created the character, but unfortunately GWAR owns it.
Silver living for the ex-Vulva -- she's pretty cute minus the bleeding rack!

NFL's Ahmad Bradshaw Convicted In Marijuana Case Banned From Driving!
It's a good thing Ahmad Bradshaw can afford Uber ... 'cause the NFL running back's driving privileges have been REVOKED after he was convicted in his weed possession case.
Bradshaw -- who played with the Indianapolis Colts last season -- was arrested for marijuana possession back in February after cops say they found a small amount of the green stuff in his car during a routine traffic stop in Ohio.
Now, officials say Bradshaw cut a plea deal with prosecutors in which he agreed to plead no contest -- and in exchange he can't drive for 6 months and must pay around $351 in fines and other court costs.
Case closed ... although now it's up to the NFL to decide what punishment he'll face from the league.

Rosie O'Donnell No Drug Testing for Her In Custody War
Rosie O'Donnell will NOT have to submit to random drug testing during her custody war, but Rosie's wife says she'll go back to court again because she believes their kid is in danger.
We've now learned the judge shot down Michelle's drug test request saying it wasn't necessary, at least for now. We're told the judge is satisfied Rosie is a capable parent so there will be no strings attached to their current 50/50 custody agreement.
But the judge did rail on both Rosie and Michelle for blabbing to the media about the case. He ordered both of them to stop talking and posting parent-related matters on social media.
As for tone, it's as nasty as it gets. We're told on their way out of court, Michelle's lawyer told Rosie's attorney to "f*** off."

'Walking Dead' Star Arrest Vid Partly Released Put Your Hands Where I Can See 'Em!
"The Walking Dead" star Seth Gilliam took police on a 4 minute high speed chase down a highway before they cuffed him and hauled away ... and the whole incident was captured on dash cam video.
Cops in Peachtree City, GA busted Gilliam early Sunday morning and said he was doing 107 mph when he blew past them -- and you can see in this video ... he was definitely flying low.
When officers finally pull him over ... one of the officers yells, "I need your hands where I can see 'em. Come back here." Gilliam steps out and immediately gets cuffed while the officer explain he's being arrested for reckless driving.
Now, the odd part -- the video cuts off right after the handcuffs go on Gilliam. Cops say they also found a joint in the car, and Gilliam said he'd had 3 beers and a shot. Seems strange that portion of the arrest video wasn't released.
Peachtree City PD tell us, "It's part of a criminal investigation and anything related to evidence that could prosecute him won't be given out until the investigation is over."

Former "SNL" star Chris Kattan had airline personnel on edge at the airport in Phoenix -- and his jittery behavior got so bad, cops had to remove him ... but turns out, Chris just needed a nap.
Phoenix PD says officers were dispatched to the Southwest terminal on Sunday evening to remove a passenger who'd been barred from boarding his flight. Sources say Kattan was mumbling and nervously walking around the gate until 5 responding officers arrived to escort him out of Sky Harbor Airport.
Cops say Kattan told them he had popped an Ambien earlier in the day, and it was still in his system.
Kattan tells TMZ he was up very late Saturday night for a wrap party, and on his way home to L.A. he missed a connecting flight in Phoenix. He says he was just looking for a spot to crash in the terminal when cops arrived.
Cops took Kattan to a nearby hotel to catch some z's before he caught a later flight. He's grateful the officers were kind ... and cops agree Kattan was cooperative.
Chris had more serious Ambien troubles last year -- he was sentenced to 3 years probation for slamming his Mercedes into a parked vehicle while under the influence of the sleep aid.
