DUI

Chris Kattan could barely keep his eyes open filming a recent Food Network show ... and his celebrity co-stars were worried the ex-SNL star was in the throes of a major struggle with addiction.

Kattan was on "Rachael Ray vs. Guy: Celebrity Cook-Off" ... and after nodding off during a meal-planning segment he was booted in the second episode -- which aired last month.

Our on-set sources say Kattan claimed he had been drinking with old "Saturday Night Live" friends the night before and just couldn't stay awake -- but the cast didn't buy it.

Kattan was arrested for DUI this week ... after crashing into a parked car on the freeway. Cops say he admitted to them he had been taking Rx drugs. Hours earlier he was so out of it on an airplane ... paramedics intercepted him when the plane landed.

Justin Bieber is about to make a judge's daughter the envy of her schoolmates, because he's about to see Justin's junk.

According to new court docs, Bieber's wiener and/or backside -- as they appear on jail surveillance footage following his DUI arrest -- will be carefully examined in private by prosecutors AND a judge ... before any more Bieber jail videos are released to the public.

TMZ broke the story ... Bieber's attorney asked the court to

Bieber's camp claimed additional jail footage features the singer's "intimate personal parts" -- which we've learned Bieber accidentally revealed while urinating in his holding cell -- and they want to keep the videos under lock and key.

Now, prosecutors have responded, agreeing to hold off on the release of any more embarrassing footage -- pending review by a judge.

Now we know why paramedics were standing by when Chris Kattan landed in L.A. hours before his DUI arrest ... because we obtained video clearly showing he was utterly out of it on the jet.

Chris was on an Air Canada flight Sunday when the flight crew radioed ahead that Kattan was stumbling around, complaining he had run out of his prescription.

The video is disturbing ... because Chris seems as out of it as he was when the CHP arrested him on the 101 Freeway. The fact that he drove a car on the surface streets and on the freeway before crashing into a parked vehicle is scary.

Cops say Chris admitted he had been taking Rx drugs after he was busted.

Chris Kattan seemed wasted as he drove on the 101 Freeway, just before he careened into a coned area and crashed into a parked vehicle ... this according to the 2 people who called 911.

TMZ broke the story ... Chris was popped early Monday morning after other drivers sounded the 911 alarm. After weaving at speeds approaching 70 MPH, he crashed into a Dept. of Transportation vehicle. Chris was arrested for DUI and law enforcement sources tell us Chris admitted he was on Rx meds.

One 911 caller says it seemed to him, "He has to be drunk."

Chris Kattan was so out of it on an L.A. bound jet ... paramedics were called to help him off the plane when it landed in L.A. -- and that was just hours before he was busted for DUI.

Law enforcement sources tell TMZ ... late Sunday afternoon ... the flight crew radioed that Kattan was acting in a bizarre fashion ... walking up and down the first class aisle, talking to himself about running out of medication.

We're told Chris was ranting that the flight had been delayed 3 hours and his Rx supply had run out.

Sources say 2 doctors who happened to be on the plane calmed Chris down and when the plane landed paramedics from the L.A. City Fire Dept. helped him off the plane and talked to him. We're told Chris got some sort of treatment and then left on his own.

Hours later ... Chris was on the 101 Freeway ... driving erratically before slamming into a parked Dept. of Transportation vehicle inside a coned area. He flunked the field sobriety test -- which is apparent from the video -- and was arrested for DUI.

Justin Bieber is on the offensive after embarrassing video surfaced of him getting patted down in jail following his DUI arrest in Miami Beach -- TMZ has learned, he's now begging for ALL police video to stay out of the public eye ... including footage of him urinating in his jail cell.

The pat down video surfaced last week -- showing Bieber getting the old "spread 'em" routine -- and his lawyers are upset ... now asking the court to block police from releasing any more footage from the singer's arrest without showing it to them first.

Not only does the footage paint a negative picture of Bieber -- for obvious reasons -- Bieber's lawyers claim additional video inside the station shows the singer in "various states of undress, which show intimate personal parts" of his body.

And law enforcement sources tell TMZ, the "personal parts" in question are revealed while Bieber urinates in his holding cell.

A source who saw the video tells us, "Justin is seen several times stumbling around while he was taking his tests. As if he had a problem with his balance ... [the video] also shows Justin taking his various tests and eventually taking a piss."

The source adds, "The stumbling and going to the bathroom is obviously reason enough for his attorneys to request it be sealed ... If I was trying to paint a picture that my client was innocent ... I wouldn’t want a video of him stumbling around and looking out of it to go public either."

Not like it's anything we haven't seen before.

David Cassidy's wife will file for divorce this morning ... ending their 23-year marriage ... TMZ has learned.

Sue Cassidy is not saying whether the decision to divorce has anything to do with David's ongoing and often losing battle with alcohol ... but she tells TMZ, "I'm glad David is getting the help he needs and I am confident he will come back better and stronger than ever."

David was arrested last month in L.A. for DUI and is currently in rehab. This is his 3rd DUI arrest.

The couple has been together for 28 years and have a son, Beau, 23.

Sue says the decision to divorce isn't coming out of the blue, saying, "This has been looming for some time." But she adds, "I am truly heartbroken that our marriage is ending."

We're told the couple has been living separately for 4 months.

Chris Kattan expects that you can drive your car on the freeway, crash into a parked vehicle, come close to killing someone, get arrested for driving under the influence -- but it's reprehensible for reporters to call him out on it.

Chris just tweeted, "If you don't have something nice to say, don't say it at all."

Kattan explains his arrest this way: "I just got back from a 15 hour flight after touring out of the country. I was exhausted. The police were so kind. I'm lucky nobody was hurt."

Our law enforcement sources say ... Kattan confessed to cops he was on Rx meds while driving erratically on the 101 Freeway, before striking a Dept. of Transportation vehicle that was inside a coned area.

Kattan also says he "passed all the tests" -- an odd comment, because he flunked the field sobriety test in spectacular fashion.

We'll stop on this one ... hard to find something nice to say about it.

Chris Kattan was arrested for DUI early this morning after his car struck a vehicle ... and TMZ has learned he allegedly confessed he was on prescription meds.

Law enforcement sources tell TMZ ... the former "Saturday Night Live" cast member was arrested on the 101 Freeway in the San Fernando Valley just after 1 AM.

Another driver called CHP to report another driver in a Mercedes who was "weaving all over the roadway at slow speeds."

Kattan allegedly then crossed into an area that was coned off for a freeway closure and he struck a Dept. of Transportation vehicle from behind.

Kattan was not injured and apparently there was no one in the DOT vehicle.

Cops say Kattan appeared out of it. Our sources tell us he was arrested and booked for DUI ... specifically drugs, NOT alcohol.

Prosecutors in the Justin Bieber Miami Beach misdemeanor DUI case are hunting down witnesses across the country ... including Bieber's own girlfriend ... in an attempt to nail him.

Sources connected with the investigation tell us ... investigators have been hounding Chantel Jeffries and her friends and relatives, trying to get her to sing like a bird and incriminate the Biebs.

Sources in the State Attorney's Office tell TMZ ... it's not unusual for them to go on the hunt for witnesses, even though this is a routine DUI misdemeanor case.

But here's what we know. If they get to Chantel, she's not going to help their case. We're told she is clear -- Justin did NOT drink or smoke weed in the club before getting in the Lambo. She also insists the drag racing claim is total BS -- that they never went faster than around 40 MPH.

TMZ broke the story ... prosecutors have problems with the case. First of all, cops claimed Bieber reeked of booze in the car and when he was at the station, but he registered an imperceptible .014. And as for the drag racing claim ... the GPS readout shows the max speed at 44 MPH, and during the so-called drag race he was going 27 MPH -- below the speed limit.

So we gotta ask ...

The mother of Paul Walker's 15-year-old daughter appears to have serious alcohol issues -- TMZ has learned, she was arrested for DUI in August and that wasn't her only one -- and it's a major reason why Meadow moved away from her mom to live with Paul.

Rebecca Soteros was first arrested for DUI in 2003 in Orange County. She pled guilty and was sentenced to 3 years probation.

History repeated itself last year, when Soteros was arrested again for DUI in Hawaii. That case is ongoing.

Sources close to the family tell TMZ ... Rebecca's drinking has been an ongoing issue for years. Paul's daughter Meadow called her famous dad in 2011 and pleaded to let her move to L.A. and live with him. He happily obliged, because we're told Paul and Rebecca had countless arguments for years over her drinking problems.

Justin Bieber clearly thought he was too cool for school when cops busted him in Miami Beach last month -- and in surveillance footage released by cops ... he isn't just pacing behind bars ... he's strutting.

Justin looks like he's been thoroughly put out by the DUI arrest ... his head cocked back during the wee hours of the morning.

You see Justin get patted down by cops ... but they found nothing.

The gay singer from "Nick & Norah's Infinite Playlist" didn't just brutally attack his real-life GF before his double arrest in December ... he also destroyed her bedroom and threatened multiple times to kill ... this according to the police report obtained by TMZ.

Rafi Gavron's GF told cops, the December 14 argument was triggered by Rafi's cocaine problem -- he demanded money from her and she refused ... so he went ballistic.

The GF said she hid her money and credit cards in her bedroom. In retaliation, Rafi punched her with both fists and slapped her across the face several times, then pushed her to the ground and kicked her in the stomach.

The GF says it wasn't over ... Rafi destroyed her bedroom, ransacking her dresser and closet and then kicking her mirror, breaking it. When she tried to phone police, she says Rafi grabbed her phone, threw it on the ground, shattering it to pieces, and repeatedly threatened to kill her.

The girlfriend says she managed to escape and ask a neighbor to phone police ... but Rafi took off in her car. She was taken to a nearby L.A. hospital with minor injuries, including marks on her legs and back.

As we reported, Rafi was subsequently pulled over in his girlfriend's car and arrested for DUI. Hours later he was released from jail hours and immediately arrested AGAIN for domestic violence.

He was charged with 4 felonies ... dissuading a witness from reporting a crime, false imprisonment by violence, domestic violence and joy riding. He copped a plea and pled no contest to domestic violence and joy riding. He was placed on 5 years probation.

David Cassidy has just been charged with one count of driving under the influence of alcohol ... the L.A. City Attorney's office tells TMZ.

We broke the story ... Cassidy was arrested in L.A. Jan. 10th after cops say he made an illegal right turn. We're told he had alcohol on his breath ... and failed a field sobriety test.

Law enforcement sources tell us he blew a .19 in the field -- more than twice the legal limit -- and refused to submit to more testing back at the police station.

Cassidy has a prior conviction for DUI in FL ... and a DUI arrest in NY. According to the city attorney, that means he'll serve a mandatory 96 hours in jail if convicted this time ... and could face up to a year behind bars.

Justin Bieber's days of breezing in and out of the U.S. are over ... because we're told he will continue to be a target of U.S. Customs every time he comes back to the states.

TMZ broke the story ... when Justin flew into a New Jersey airport from Canada last Friday ... U.S. Customs searched his plane and then grilled him for hours, before letting him leave. Law enforcement sources tell us ... Custom's flagged Bieber because he's on a Homeland Security watch list for his 2 ongoing criminal cases.

We're told Bieber is subject to the exact same treatment every time he leaves and then re-enters the U.S. -- a thorough search and then exhaustive questioning.

It's very hard to get off the watch list once you're on it. You can appeal to Homeland Security but the agency has broad discretion. What's more ... if Bieber is found guilty or pleads no contest to any criminal charge, it will be extremely difficult for him to go under the radar again.

The DUI case against Justin Bieber has some big holes -- but law enforcement sources tell us prosecutors will NOT back down and are confident the case is so strong ... Justin will cop a plea.

TMZ broke the story ... although Miami Beach police claimed Justin reeked of booze ... his blood alcohol level was almost imperceptible -- .014.

Sources connected to the case tell us ... prosecutors say the officer who made the observation is a star witness who is one of the most authoritative people in the area on DUI -- and an unimpeachable witness.

There's another hole in the case. Cops claimed Justin was drag racing, yet we've obtained the GPS read on his car and it actually shows in the middle of the so-called drag race he was going 27 MPH -- UNDER the 30 MPH speed limit.

Our sources say they're not buying the GPS read out and they have their own GPS which they believe will show a higher rate of speed.
