New Booze Law Causes Preakness Race War
Over 30,000 people protested The Preakness Stakes' new drinking rules this weekend -- and by protested, we mean they just stayed home and got drunk instead.
The race formerly known as "The Freakness" -- an all-day drunk-off for race fans -- was dealt a huge blow following a new alcohol law prohibiting fans from bringing their own booze to the race.
How big of a blow? According to the Washington Post, attendance this year went down from 112,222 to 77,850 -- despite the park still offering 16 ounce beers for $3.50.
We're gonna go out on a limb here, and say this video of the infamous "Preakness Running of Urinals 2008" had something to do with the decision.

Just last month Joba was sentenced to nine months probation after pleading guilty to DUI.

Clipper Catches Legal Break
Zach Randolph -- the Los Angeles Clipper who was busted for DUI a few weeks back -- has just dodged a bullet, thanks to the magic of his lawyer, Blair Berk.
Randolph has just been charged with one count of misdemeanor reckless driving -- not DUI. And we thought only Lakers caught breaks like that.
Zach was pulled over on April 6 while driving on the 405 in L.A., after CHP officers spotted his Rolls Royce weaving in and out of his lane.
We're told Randolph failed his field test -- but he obviously scored in picking the right lawyer.
UPDATE: Zach, who did not show up for court in L.A. today, just pled not guilty to reckless driving.
His lawyer, Blair Berk, said "The only reason Zach Randolph was not charged with a DUI was that he did not commit a DUI -- no magic, just facts."

Motorized Bar Stool Drunk -- Free to Ride Again
Ohio natives beware -- the drunken idiot/genius who was banned from riding his motorized bar stool has just been given permission by a judge to saddle back up.
Kyle Wygel -- who got a DUI last month in Ohio while riding the greatest invention since, well, booze -- struck a plea deal on Friday, which forces him to pay an $830 fine and attend an alcohol prevention program.
But more importantly, the judge lifted the ban which kept Kyle from riding his bar stool-mobile -- which tops out at an impressive 38 MPH.
20 bucks says he's listening to "Free Bird" right now.

Backstreet Boy Battles Demons in the Lion's Den
For a guy who claims he's serious about staying sober -- why does recovering alcoholic A.J. McLean of the Backstreet Boys keep trekking back into the dangerously tempting Hollywood club scene!?!
Don't get us wrong, we're rooting for him to stay clean -- but for a guy who fell off the wagon just a couple of months ago (see: Key Club incident) -- maybe the bar he was at last night isn't the best place to kick it nowadays.
Remember the old saying -- when you play with fire, you get drunk.

For those who haven't seen the tape, Carmen was absolutely hammered -- dude hit a fire hydrant, and then handed cops his credit card instead of his driver's license. Oh, and he blew a .23, nearly three times the legal limit.
This was Carmen's second DUI. He will begin serving his sentence on April 25.
