Ex Beauty Queen -- Miss Demeanor?
Former Miss New Mexico USA Raelene Aguilar better put some extra Vaseline on her teeth and smile wide in court -- because she's just been charged with criminal DWI.
Aguilar was arrested earlier this month by El Paso,TX PD, after getting an F on her field sobriety test. She's now officially charged with one misdemeanor. Her first court date is April 23.
Aguilar's reign as Miss New Mexico USA ended in December, 2008.

Clipper Clipped for Driving Drunk
It's only getting worse for the Los Angeles Clippers ... one of their alleged "stars" was busted for DUI early this morning.
Hours after the Clip Squad went down to the Lakers last night, Clipper power forward Zach Randolph was pulled over by California Highway Patrol officers on the 405 Freeway when they spotted Randolph's white Rolls Royce weaving in and out of his lane at around 2:25 AM.
Cops say when they approached the car, they "noticed an odor of an alcoholic beverage emitting from within the vehicle" and proceeded to perform some field tests on the 6'9," 255 pound 27-year-old. Randolph failed those and was arrested for DUI.
Randolph, who already has a previous DUI bust under his belt, is currently behind bars -- being held without bail.
A spokesman for the Clippers tells us, "We'll reserve comment until we've had an opportunity to review the facts."
UPDATE: Randolph was finally released from jail about 30 minutes ago. In a statement released by the Clippers, the team has suspended Zach "for two games for conduct detrimental to the team."

Creative Drunk Gets DUI on Motorized Bar Stool
Warning: It's best to cue the song "Dueling Banjos" before reading the following story:
Some MacGyver-esque drunkard in Ohio is facing DUI charges after crashing a bar stool he was driving -- HE WAS DRIVING!
Cops arrived to the scene around 5:41 PM on March 4, arrested the guy, and filed a police report ... here are the highlights ... it's classic.
"Unit #1 was heading west bound on Kelly Lane. Unit #1 attempted to turn around (180 degrees), and back down Kelly east bound. As Unit #1 began its turn, it rolled over and the operator was injured."
"Note: Unit #1 was a home made [sic] motor vehicle, a bar stool attached to a frame with a lawn mower attached."
"At this point I noticed that Mr. Wygle's eye's [SIC] were very blood shot and were glassy in appearance."
"I asked him what happened, Mr. Wygle stated, 'I wrecked my bar stool.'"
"I asked Mr. Wygle how much alcohol he had to drink, he said, 'a lot.'"
Arrested Detroit Lions Bust Finally Gets His Shot
TMZ has obtained the mugshot of former first round NFL draft pick-turned-Detroit Lions mega-bust, Charles Rogers.
Rogers -- the #2 overall pick in the 2003 draft -- was sentenced to 30 days in the slammer yesterday (with 15 days credit for time served) for violating the terms of his probation in a domestic violence case.
Court records show the 27-year-old, who signed a $55 million contract with the Lions back in the day, tested positive for alcohol and falsified records showing he attended AA classes.
Rogers was a wide receiver before he got locked up -- no word if he'll change his position before he gets out.
Norm Nixon Busted for DUI
Former NBA legend Norm Nixon was arrested last night on suspicion of DUI.
Nixon was pulled over by California Highway Patrol just before midnight for having no front license plate on his black Ferrari. We're told officers smelled alcohol, so they gave him a series of field sobriety tests -- which he performed "poorly."
Nixon -- best known for his stint with the Los Angeles Lakers in the 70s and 80s -- was booked and posted $5,000 bail.
Fun fact -- Norm Nixon is married to Debbie Allen of "Fame" fame.
"Sober House" Star -- "I'm Not Sober!"
As Dr. Drew was gearing up to hit "Today" and "The View" this morning to pimp out his new book, one of his celebrity patients was recklessly falling off the wagon.
"Sober House"-mate Mary Carey was so tanked, she was hardly able to stand outside the Key Club -- struggling to keep her eyes open, shouting maniacally, and of course, making out with her lady friend.
Unfortunately, it's more tragic than entertaining .. especially the part where Mary shouted "I'm not sober anymore, but I love Dr. Drew!"

Lindsay Lohan Off the Hook
The warrant issued for Lindsay Lohan's arrest was just recalled.
Lohan's lawyer, Shawn Chapman Holley, made quick work of it in a hearing that lasted minutes. S.C.H. showed proof of compliance and that was that. Lindsay didn't show.
Lohan will enroll in a new alcohol education program -- apparently she had "personality conflicts" with her old one -- and will be back in court to prove it on April 3.
So much for those bogus stories that the hearing was about a driver's license...
Story developing ...
Lindsay Lohan Arrest Warrant: Paparazzi Defense
We know exactly why Lindsay Lohan is being hauled into court Monday and it's no big deal -- probably.
Here's why an arrest warrant was issued. Lindsay was in an alcohol ed program for more than a year and was in full compliance with her probation. Sources say not too long ago she decided to switch programs. She either was late or missed one of the classes at the new program -- she says because the paparazzi made it impossible for her to show up on schedule. So the program director sounded the alarm last week to the court. And that's why the judge issued a warrant.
Based on what we know this is not a big deal and Lindsay's new lawyer, Shawn Chapman Holley, should be able to have the warrant 86'd -- no problemo. The only wild card: There's a new judge on the case and she's really tough.
We're told Lindsay will not show for the appearance unless the judge decides she wants her there.
Stay tuned.

Lindsay Lohan Wanted by Cops
A warrant was issued yesterday for the arrest of one Lindsay Lohan.
The Beverly Hills PD says the warrant is for $50,000 and it was issued in connection with her DUI case back in 2007, for which she is on probation. The PD would not specifically say why they want Lohan, but we think it's a good bet it has something to do with violating the terms of probation ... either failing to attend her alcohol ed courses or, perhaps, not taking or failing a drug test.
The PD ominously says, "It is our hope that Ms. Lohan will surrender herself so that this matter can be resolved in a timely manner."
We asked Lindsay about the warrant last night as she left the Chateau Marmont in West Hollywood.
Lindsay is not armed but considered dangerous.
The story was first reported by Hollyscoop.com.
UPDATE 3:00 PM ET: We're told the Judge in the DUI case has set a hearing for Monday Morning. We understand the topic is whether Lindsay violated her probation. She may be required to appear. Stay tuned.
UPDATE 12:09 PM ET: Lohan just issued a statement to PerezHilton.com: "This warrant for my arrest is completely fabricated and its (sic) a horrendous lie. This will make me loose (sic) every single deal that I have right now. Its (sic) horrible."

Billy Zane Cruiser Extraordinaire
You are about to learn something Billy Zane. In an unrelated matter, you are also about to learn about riding a bicycle while intoxicated.
We shot video of B.Z. leaving Villa last night in West Hollywood on his tricked-out bike -- little horn and all. Billy looks totally sober, but it got us thinking ... could a celeb, or you for that matter, dodge a DUI by jumping on a Schwinn rather than hopping in a BMW? The answer: Nope.
We checked with two police departments. In California, at least, there's actually a crime -- Driving Under the Influence on a Bicycle. It's a misdemeanor, cops can demand you take a field sobriety or blood alcohol test, and you can be arrested and jailed.
Still, it's a lot safer than driving a motor home ... wasted.

Hasselhoff -- Someone to Baywatch Over Pam
Oh the irony! David Hasselhoff came to the rescue of Pamela Bach by bailing her out of jail after she was popped for DUI.
In case you forgot, David and Pamela were in one of the most hateful divorces in all of celebredom. Now, with Pam in the pokey after causing a chain rear-end collision, David decided that he had to do something for the mother of his children.
So David contacted a bail bondsman. The bail, which was $100,000, was met and Pam was free as a bird.
Dominic Friesen of Bridge & Tunnel Communications tells TMZ, "Pamela is doing fine and home resting. She is thankful that nobody was injured as a result of the accident and is appreciative of the overwhelming support that she has been receiving."
The Hoff's Ex -- DUI Could be Career Rear Ender
David Hasselhoff's 20 degrees off-center ex-wife, Pamela Bach, was popped for felony DUI last night.
It happened at 9:00 PM in the San Fernando Valley. Cops say Pamela caused a chain rear end collision. Everyone involved complained of minor injuries.
Cops hauled her away to the pokey. She was booked for a felony because people in the crash were injured.
As you surely know, Pam and The Hoff have been involved in an epic and never-ending divorce and custody battle, with each calling the other out of their mind. Score one more for David.
"School of Rock" Kid Guilty in Taco Bell DUI Caper
Joey Gaydos Jr. -- the guitar prodigy from "School of Rock" -- has pled guilty to a misdemeanor impaired driving charge and could actually do some time in the pokey for his crime. WWJBD?

The 17-year-old actor faces up to 93 days in jail. He'll be sentenced in April.

Chris Rock's Bro Charged with DUI
Chris Rock's brother Tony has been charged with drunk driving.
The Los Angeles City Attorney has filed two DUI charges -- driving under the influence and driving with a .08 blood alcohol level or higher.
After his arrest, Rock told TMZ he had been pounding Patron and then flooring it on the 101 Freeway.
Rock, also a comedian in his own right, made the stupid mistake of mocking his arrest and saying he would skip the alcohol ed course. Wrong, if he's convicted. He could also be sentenced to six months in the pokey.
