Rocker Rick Springfield has been arrested on suspicion of drunk driving, TMZ reports.

The 80s rockstar, who was arrested last night in Los Angeles, reportedly performed poorly on sobriety tests after being pulled over by the L.A. County Sheriff’s Department around 8:00 p.m. for a traffic violation.

The 61-year-old singer was then arrested on suspicion of DUI, after the officers noticed the smell of alcohol. Law enforcement sources say Springfield’s blood alcohol level was measured at 0.10 and 0.08, the legal limit being 0.08 in California.

Springfield was taken to a nearby jail, where he was booked then released on his own recognizance.

Another rockstar, another DUI. It’s not known whether or not he has a drinking problem, but driving under the influence is simply inexcusable. Hopefully this is a good wake up call for him.

Michael Moore has offered $20,000 to help bailout Wikileaks co-founder Julian Assange, reports TMZ.

Moore just blogged, he will do anything he can to keep WikiLeaks “alive and thriving as it continues its work to expose the crimes that were concocted in secret and carried out in our name and with our tax dollars.”

Swedish prosecutors are challenging Assange’s bail, so he will remain in custody until that’s worked out.

Arrest warrants have been issued for actor Randy Quaid and his wife Evi Quaid after they both failed to appear in court for charges of llegally squatting at a home.

The Huffington Post reports Santa Barbara Senior Deputy District Attorney Lee Carter said the $50,000 warrants were issued after the couple failed to appear for an arraignment Monday on a felony vandalism charge.

The charges stem after the Quaids were accused of living in a home they previously owned, and causing more than $5,000 in damages.

The Quaids seem to have a history of missing court appearances after missing court dates related to charges of defrauding a housekeeper. Oh cousin Eddie, when will you learn?

Remember Mario? The let me looove you guy? According to TMZ, he was arrested Friday morning for allegedly assaulting his mom.

The singer‘s mother told police that Mario had been “throwing and damaging property” and pushed her in the apartment that they share.

Police said that there were indeed broken items found in the apartment, including a china cabinet, a hole in a closet door and a broken mirror. Seven years bad luck won’t help his career…

The 24-year-old Mario Dewar Bennett was released on $50,000 bail after being charged with 2^nd degree assault.

Apparently there was no good love and protection going on in this relationship.

This guy and his wife are really screwed up. Randy Quaid, the quirky actor who played Cousin Eddie in the National Lampoon movies, is in hot water with the law. Randy Quaid and his wife Evi, missed two court dates this week even after their lawyer assured the court the couple would be present. The couple are being charged with defrauding an innkeeper.

“If they’re picked up in California, they will be put in jail,” Santa Barbara Senior Deputy District Attorney Lee Carter told PEOPLE. “They cannot be released on bail until they come back here and a judge [agrees to] set bail for them.”

“The warrant will go nationwide,” Carter says. “Anyone out there that comes in contact with them can pick up our warrant and start their own felony fugitive case.”

Arrest warrants have been repeatedly sought and later quashed for the Quaids, who were charged last year with failing to pay a $10,000 hotel bill.

They pleaded not guilty in December and were released on $40,000 bail. Carter says that bail has now been forfeited.

Tila Tequila’s Football Star Boyfriend Arrested for Abuse Accusations

In a weird twist of celebrity co-mingling, reality TV star Tila Tequila’s NFL boyfriend Shawn Merriman was arrested yesterday, according to TMZ.

Police were called to the home of San Diego Charger’s Merriman early this morning where Tila claimed he had choked her and restrained her from leaving the apartment. Tila was taken to hospital but no injuries reported.

Merriman was taken into custody with a bail set at $58,000.

His lawyer released a statement this morning saying Tila was extremely inebriated following a birthday party at Stingareer Nightclub in San Diego and Merriman did not want her to leave the house because he felt it was unsafe.

In a statement to FoxNewsSports.com, Merriman denied the allegations.

“There have been no charges filed against me. I want to thank the San Diego Sherrif’s Department for their professionalism,” read the statement. ”I will continue to cooperate fully with the Department, and I look forward to clearing my name regarding these false allegations. I want to put this behind me so I can continue to focus on a successful season for the San Diego Chargers.”

Tila has taken to Twitter to plead her case, saying she was not drunk because she is actually allergic to alcohol. Go figure.

“I am allergic to alcohol,” Tila said via Twitter. “It has been publicly known for years. That is how I got the name Tila “Tequila” cuz the irony. I cant drink.”

Tila has since returned to Los Angeles and no word on Merriman’s legal follow-up has been released.
