David Cassidy Arrested for Drunk Driving ... AGAIN!
David Cassidy was arrested Friday night for driving drunk ... TMZ has learned.
David had just exited the 405 freeway in LA when cops say they saw him make an illegal right onto a surface street ... this according to law enforcement sources.
The cop approached the vehicle and says he smelled alcohol. He ordered David out of the car and administered a field sobriety test ... which David flunked.
To make matters worse, David blew .19 ... more than twice the legal limit.
Cassidy was hauled off to jail, booked for driving under the influence and released hours later.
If this sounds like the same old song ... it is. David was arrested last year in New York for DUI ... as well as once in Florida back in 2010.
This time he'll almost certainly get jail time.

Evander Holyfield I Punched a Pregnant Horse in the Face

Justin Bieber Commits Vicious Egg Attack on Neighbor's House
6:30 AM -- We've just obtained video of the incident ... shot by the neighbor, who says Justin was definitely trespassing on his property during the attack. The video is dark, but you can hear the neighbor yelling, "I see you. I f**king see you!"
Then Justin yells back, "F**k you! I got another one for you, actually!"
They keep yelling back and forth for about 30 seconds, until the neighbor tells his 13-year-old daughter -- who sounds terrified -- to call the cops.
By the way ... we're told Justin is now a suspect in a vandalism investigation. The police report calls it a misdemeanor, but the victim tells us the damage to his property far exceeds $400, which means this could easily become a FELONY.
Justin Bieber launched an all out egg assault on his neighbor's home Thursday night -- and the L.A. County Sheriff was called to the scene while the eggs were still flying ... this according to the alleged victim.
TMZ spoke to the neighbor who says he heard something banging against his house in Calabasas around 7:30 PM Thursday, and when he stepped on to a 2nd floor balcony ... he says he saw Justin down below hurling eggs at his front door.
According to the neighbor ... Bieber started aiming for him once he stepped onto the balcony and yelled, "What the Hell are you doing?"
Justin and the neighbor -- who've had previous run-ins -- also got into a verbal dispute while JB allegedly continued tossing a few more eggs at the house ... and then retreated back to his home.
The neighbor immediately called the Sheriff's Department -- and believes his house was pelted with no less than 20 eggs.
Law enforcement sources confirm deputies responded, and took an incident report from the neighbor. It's unclear, at this point, if they were able to speak to Justin.
Calls to Bieber's reps were not immediately returned.
And, in a shamefully obvious ploy to make himself look good, he posted these pictures of himself with his little brother and sister.
Amanda Bynes VICTORIOUS In Bong-Throwing Case
7:15 AM -- Amanda was just granted the ACD -- as we told you she would be -- and her next progress report was set for June. So, 6 months of good behavior ... and she's good to go.
Amanda Bynes has effectively BEAT THE RAP in her criminal case ... where she stands accused of throwing a bong out of her NYC apartment window.
Cops had claimed they came to Amanda's unit after getting complaints from neighbors she was smoking weed. Cops say they smelled weed in her unit and before they could do anything she threw a bong out the window.
Amanda -- who said she threw a flower vase and not a bong -- was charged with marijuana possession, evidence tampering and reckless endangerment.
Law enforcement sources tell TMZ ... the case will be resolved tomorrow in court. Here's what will happen. The case will be put on ice. Amanda will NOT enter a plea. If she keeps her nose clean and continues her therapy for the next 6 months, the charges will be formally DISMISSED and the case will be sealed. The fancy legal term -- Adjournment in Contemplation of Dismissal.
One reason the case is essentially being dropped ... cops didn't retrieve the glass for days, which means there's no proof what they eventually found was thrown by Amanda. Our TMZ producer spotted the broken glass first, which looked like a bong, but the evidence was contaminated by weather, time and cigarette butts.
We contacted Amanda's lawyer, Gerald Shargel, but he had no comment.

Michelle Obama Oprah's Neighbors Pissed Over FLOTUS' Hawaii Vacation
Michelle Obama's visit to Oprah's Hawaii compound has crippled the neighborhood around O's home ... and some neighbors are pissed.
Some of the residents and business people around Oprah's palatial 12-bedroom Maui estate -- where Michelle recently retreated to spend the last few days of her 40s -- are all telling the same story ... Michelle's visit is making day-to-day life almost impossible.
The owner of nearby Goble's Flower Farm tells us ... security checkpoints have been set up on the roads ... blocking customers from shopping there.
Other business owners complain they can't stock their shelves because road closures have screwed up their deliveries.
A worker at Grandma's Maui Coffee tells us, employees are arriving VERY late to work.
And fun is also affected. Recreational areas (like hiking trails) have also been shut down.
Not good for Oprah's relations with her neighbors, which have already been strained from her generally imposing presence. But it's nothing that a good cocktail party can't solve.

Michael Bay I Cracked Under Techie Pressure When Teleprompter Failed
"Transformers" director Michael Bay says his epic meltdown in Vegas yesterday might not make him popular with technology nerds ... but also says it hasn't exactly hurt him with the ladies.
Bay was on "TMZ Live" explaining why he freaked out and walked off stage during a big presentation at the CES convention.
It's not like he's never been on stage ... he says he's been front and center hundreds of times, but explains why this one was different.
Here's the deal ... Samsung should kiss Michael's ass, because now everyone's talking about its newfangled TV.

'Big Brother' Star Aaryn Gries Evander's Gay Rant Really Pissed Me Off!
Evander Holyfield's rant against homosexuality pissed off the former "Big Brother" star who once cornered the market on homophobic comments -- Aaryn Gries ... who tells us the boxer is an idiot.
Gries may have called a gay guy "queer" -- and true enough she mocked African Americans and Asians -- but Aaryn says her comments pale in comparison to what Evander said on "Celebrity BB" ... claiming homosexuality is like a physical handicap which can be cured by a doctor.
Aaryn says, "I know I said mean things, but at least I'm not ignorant enough to think that homosexuality is treatable. Seeing homosexuality as a sickness is outdated."
Because mocking a black girl to incite a fight is much more current.

Michael Bay Freaks Out Onstage -- Walks Off
Michael Bay melted down in Vegas today ... after his teleprompter malfunctioned.
The "Transformers" director was the featured speaker for Samsung TV at the CES convention. No sooner did he walk out on stage when it was evident something was terribly wrong.
Michael went blank and then made a reference to "type" ... we've confirmed it was a teleprompter problem. He said he'd wing it, but watch the video ... that didn't happen.
Michael walked off the stage ... leaving the audience and the moderator dumbfounded.
Anyway ... dialogue was never his strong suit.
4:12 PM PT -- Bay posted a message on his website explaining the fail ... "Wow! I just embarrassed myself at CES ... I got so excited to talk, that I skipped over the Exec VP's intro line and then the teleprompter got lost." Then he added the obvious, "I guess live shows aren't my thing."
Evander Holyfield Rips Gays on Big Brother UK It's a Choice and Can Be Fixed
Evander Holyfield told a housemate on "UK Celebrity Big Brother" that being gay is no different than being handicapped ... because a doctor can fix both ... and was immediately SCOLDED like a child by "BB" producers.
Holyfield made the comments Sunday -- during his first week in the BB house -- when reality star Luisa Zissman asked him if there were any gay boxers in the sport.
Holyfield -- a deeply religious Christian --cited the bible and said homosexuality is NOT a choice ... but rather something like a "handicap" ... something doctors can fix.
Zissman respectfully disagreed with Evander ... and it seemed the two were ready to move on with their lives ... when Evander was taken to a private room, where producers RIPPED him for expressing his beliefs.
In fact, "BB" producers called Evander's comments "inappropriate" because they "aren't the views that are held by a large section of society."
Holyfield says he understood that his comments could be considered offensive ... but never apologizes.
This whole situation reminds us why we revolted against England ... so we could have the freedom to express our religious and other beliefs ... no matter how offensive.
As bad as Evander is .. the show is being RIDICULOUS. Didn't they they learn anything from the A&E/"Duck Dynasty" debacle??

NASA Beyonce 'Trivialized' Deaths of Challenger Crew
Beyonce got off easy with NASA ... rather than saying she blatantly exploited the deaths of the Challenger astronauts, the space agency essentially said she dishonored the memories of the crew.
As you know ... Beyonce's song, "XO" begins with sound from mission control in 1986 ... as they react to the spaceship blowing up and the 7 crew members careening to the ground.
NASA 's response ... "The Challenger accident is an important part of our history; a tragic reminder that space exploration is risky and should never be trivialized."
Beyonce came out with a bizarre, hollow justification ... "The song 'XO' was recorded with the sincerest intention to help heal those who have lost loved ones to remind us that unexpected things happen ..."
It's not exactly that there was suddenly a burning need to help the families cope with the deaths that are almost 2 decades old.
Could it be that Beyonce just knows good drama when she sees it?

Here's the rub ... according to the IRS, "You cannot include in medical expenses amounts you pay for controlled substances (such as marijuana, laetrile, etc.). Such substances may be legalized by state law. However, they are in violation of federal law and cannot be included in medical expenses."

'Nick & Norah's' Star Arrested TWICE in 12 HOURS Alleged Girl Beating & DUI
"Nick & Norah's Infinite Playlist" star Rafi Gavron -- who played the gay singer in Michael Cera's band -- is going for some kind of arrest record ... because TMZ has learned, he was recently arrested TWICE in 12 hours.
We're told Gavron was first arrested by LAPD around noon Dec 15 for DUI. He was released 12 hours later and immediately arrested again on suspicion of domestic violence.
Law enforcement sources say Gavron was accused of striking a girl in the face and stomach, then taking off in the girl's car.
The domestic violence incident supposedly happened BEFORE the DUI arrest, but cops weren't able to immediately locate him ... until he ended up in the slammer for drunk driving. When the jail door opened, Gavron was busted again.
In all, Gavron's been charged with 4 felonies ... dissuading a witness from reporting a crime, false imprisonment by violence, domestic violence and unlawful taking of a car. The City Attorney will decide whether to charge him with DUI.
Calls to the actor's reps weren't returned.
