Kate Major DUI Dash Cam Video Lots of Crying, But No ABCs
Kate Major's DUI arrest last week began with a big lie, ended with her in cuffs, and featured A LOT OF CRYING in between.
As TMZ first reported, Major was busted for driving under the influence near her home in Florida following a blowout argument with boyfriend Michael Lohan.
THE INTERVIEW + FIRST TEST
The newly-released dashcam video begins after officers have pulled Major over and begun questioning her. When asked if she had been drinking ... Major flat out says no. As TMZ first reported, Major's BAC was .243 ... more than three times the legal limit in Florida.
Right when the officer began to conduct his first field sobriety test, Major began to break down crying.
WALK THE LINE AND ALPHABET TEST
Major was then given a walking test, which she seemed to do well on ... only the officer had not told her to start walking yet.
Then came the alphabet test ... which Major struggled with MAJORLY. She absolutely could not get past the letter V.
ARREST
Once Major was done failing tests, the officer placed her under arrest and the waterworks began again BIG TIME.
Major was in court this morning where a judge ordered her to go to an in-patient rehab facility. When she gets out, she'll be forced to wear a tracking device.
Major will be released from jail some time in the next day or so, once she posts the $16,000 bond.

Chief Keef Arrested for DUI After Rehab
Chief Keef really does hate being sober -- TMZ has learned, the rapper was popped for DUI ... less than two weeks after he left rehab for weed.
Law enforcement sources tell TMZ, Keef was pulled over in Highland Park, IL early in the AM on March 5th for having expired tags on his 2010 Jeep Cherokee. When officers approached the vehicle, we're told it reeked of pot and, according to our sources, Keef openly admitted to smoking before driving.
We're told police administered a field sobriety test and Keef choked. He was placed under arrest at the scene. In addition to DUI, Keef was also charged with driving on a suspended license and cited for having no proof of insurance.
The rapper was subsequently released after posting $300 bail.
It's crazy for several reasons -- Keef had just left court-ordered rehab for weed addiction in February ... and three days after his arrest, he posted a pic of himself smoking weed on Instagram.

Jim Irsay Colts Owner ARRESTED for Driving Under the Influence
7:51 AM PT -- Cops say Irsay had "multiple prescription drugs" in various pill bottles at the time of the arrest.
Cops also say Irsay was initially stopped just before midnight on Sunday after an officer noticed him driving really slow and failing to signal before making a turn.
After he was pulled over, Irsay failed several field sobriety tests and was eventually arrested for OWI.
Cops say the prescription pills found in Irsay's car did not match up with the prescription bottles.
He was ultimately popped for 4 felony counts of possession of a controlled substance.
Indianapolis Colts owner Jim Irsay was ARRESTED early Monday morning in Indiana for operating a vehicle while intoxicated ... this according to officials.
54-year-old Irsay was booked at 3:07 AM. He was also arrested for possession of a controlled substance ... though so far, it's unclear what that substance was.
Irsay was hauled to a jail in Hamilton County, Indiana. Jim's total bond was set at $22,500, according to the official jail website.
FYI -- The Colts have been in Jim's family for decades. Irsay's father purchased the Colts when Jim was 12 years old.

Bree Walker I'm Going to Rehab!
Bree Walker is making a return -- not to local news -- but to rehab ... telling TMZ she's going to seek help.
As TMZ previously reported, the former local news icon was busted for DUI in Orange County, CA last month. Police say she failed a field sobriety test and when she was hauled off to jail, cops had to take her pit bull (who was in the car with her at the time) to Animal Control. She freed him after she posted bail.
Last night outside Mr. Chow, Walker was tight-lipped about the arrest, but did tell our photog, "I'm on my way to rehab, baby."
Walker previously did a stint in rehab back in 2007.

SXSW Two Dead After Suspected Drunk Driver Plows Through Pedestrians

"Little People, Big World" couple Matt and Amy Roloff can't stand living together anymore -- they've just announced they're separating after 26 years of marriage.
Sources close to the couple tell TMZ, Matt and Amy have been living separately since the holidays -- Amy currently resides in the family's main house in Oregon ... Matt lives in the guest house.
We're told neither Amy nor Matt is currently pursuing other relationships -- they're just testing the waters living alone ... for now anyway. So far, divorce isn't on the table.
Matt has had a history of drinking problems -- such as his 2007 DUI -- but we're told alcohol was NOT an issue in the split.
The Roloffs -- who have 4 children -- released a statement, saying, "Though we have weathered many storms together, we recently made the tough decision to engage in a trial separation."

Chris Pine Busted for DUI In Kiwi Country
Chris Pine was popped for DUI after blowing through a sobriety checkpoint and then allegedly blowing a .08.
Pine had been partying at a bar in New Zealand with some fellow actors and his girlfriend, beauty queen Iris Bjork Johannesdottir.
Law enforcement tells TMZ ... he caught their eye after driving through the checkpoint. Officers then made him stop and Chris reportedly blew a .08 ... the minimum for being legally drunk.
The incident occurred on March 1st. He must appear in court on Monday, and if he doesn't the judge will issue an arrest warrant.
Chris was his usual charming self ... very polite and "easy to deal with."
As for what he was doing in the bar ... beer. Maybe it was a game --- say the name of your GF 3 times really fast.

Justin Bieber I Take Xanax Illegally
Justin Bieber jumped the gun in his deposition Friday ... and in the process admitted he was taking
Rx meds illegally.
As you know, Justin is being sued by a photog who claims the singer instructed his bodyguard to beat him up.
During the questioning, the photog's lawyer asked Bieber if he had a prescription for Xanax. Before Justin's lawyer could object, the singer blurted out that he did not.
Justin's lawyer was clearly upset and told Bieber to hold his horses before answering.
It's a significant question ... because during Justin's DUI arrest cops say he admitted his mom had given him Xanax, and he tested positive for Xanax which is the basis for the DUI charge.
It probably won't impact the case. If Bieber was under the influence it doesn't matter whether he took it legally or not.
But it wasn't the smartest thing for him to say.

Justin Bieber The Peeing Video
Justin Bieber either has a gigantic dong or cops are being overly cautious ... because the jailhouse video of Bieber taking a leak behind bars has an ENORMOUS black bar.
Miami Beach P.D. just released the video ... shot while Bieber was being booked at the jail.
Nine hours of video has already been released, but the judge wanted special care taken for the video showing Bieber peeing -- the judge wanted to make sure cops covered his junk before releasing it.
It's weird ... law enforcement told us they were having problems black-barring the video because Justin's penis was moving around. But the video only shows him walking to the toilet -- possibly with his penis exposed ... but the movement isn't that radical.

Justin Bieber Arresting DUI Cop ... More Evidence of LIES
The Miami Beach cop who says he saw Justin Bieber drag racing before his DUI arrest may have been caught in a BIG FAT LIE ... because the GPS results from the cop's car shows normal speed.
TMZ has obtained the GPS readout during the 4 AM hour on January 23. Bieber was stopped at 4:11 AM. The cop claims he saw Bieber drag racing rapper Khalil at speeds between 55 and 60.
Now here's the problem. According to the GPS readout on the cop car ... it was going 11 MPH at the 2600 block of Pine Tree Dr. ... which is where the cop says he first spotted the singer in the Lambo.
The cop accelerated from 11 to 31 MPH in a single block but stayed between 30 and 40 for 3 blocks.
The GPS readout shows the cop car accelerated to 46 and then 49 ... but that's the FASTEST it went.
Now this is significant ... at the 3700 block of Pine Tree ... the cop car had slowed down to 31 MPH. This street is critical because according to the cop it was smack in the middle of the drag race. And get this ... we already broke the story that Bieber's GPS shows he was going 27 MPH on that block.
So the question ... where the hell is the drag race? Remember, the other cop on scene may have lied about smelling alcohol on Bieber's breath ... fact is, the singer registered a .014.
The GPS makes the case against Bieber VERY shaky because it calls the arresting officer's credibility into question. We're told Khalil's lawyer, Bradford Cohen, is going to attack the cop's credibility. Khalil was also busted for DUI.

Justin Bieber Peeing Behind Bars Jail's Got More Cameras Than 'Big Brother'
This is getting ridiculous ... the Miami Beach PD just released yet another video of Justin Bieber in jail -- this time showing the singer peeing into a cup -- and it feels like an episode of "Big Brother."
So far, the Miami Beach PD has released 9+ hours of footage (photos too) showing Bieber in jail following his DUI arrest -- including the pat-down, the push ups, the sobriety test, the tattoos ... and now they're showing Bieber taking his urinalysis test.
As we reported, the urinalysis test came back positive for Xanax and weed. (This is NOT the video clip police are having trouble blurring. It's a different camera angle of the same thing.)
It's like the police are turning Bieber's arrest into a mini reality show -- they claim the singer isn't entitled to privacy in jail ... and they might be right ... but we've never seen anything like this before.
And we've seen plenty of DUI arrests.

Chris Kattan I'm Not Guilty So Why Do I Have to Go To AA?
Chris Kattan just pled not guilty to DUI ... and in an unusual move, the judge ordered him to attend AA meetings.
TMZ broke the story ... Chris crashed his Mercedes into a parked car on the freeway last month after allegedly admitting he had taken Rx drugs. Earlier that day he was totally out of it on an airplane.
Chris entered his not guilty plea Monday morning and the judge ordered him to attend 2 AA meetings per week -- as a condition to bail. It's odd ... because everything we've found about AA focuses on alcohol ... not prescription meds. And alcohol was not a factor in the accident.
It's also curious ... the judge didn't order Chris to abstain from meds or booze.

Chris Kattan I'm Not a Drug Addict ... I Just Have a Bad Back
Chris Kattan is not on a prescription pill-induced downward spiral ... he's just got a bad back.
Kattan blew out of LA Friday before the Oscars hit town ... and chalked up his bizarre behavior on a plane -- and his subsequent DUI arrest last month -- to Rx meds after back surgery.
Kattan doesn't tell us when he underwent surgery ... but assures our photog he's doing just fine.
We also asked about DUI charges filed this week, but he's totally in the dark.
Might wanna look into that.
