‘Pineapple Express’ Star on Ecstasy Express

Craig Robinson has pleaded guilty for possession of ecstasy, reports TMZ.

The “Pineapple Express” star, who plays crooked cop Matheson in the film, was arrested at the end of June in Culver City, CA and charged with three felony drug counts.

Along with ecstasy, Robinson was charged with possession of methamphetamine and being under the influence of cocaine, amphetamines and cannabinoids, but all of these charges have been dropped.

Robinson must enter a drug-counseling program within the next 18 months as part of an agreement with prosecutors. If successfully completed, the felony conviction will be dismissed and not appear on his criminal record.

When arrested, the actor was already on probation for the crime of driving under the influence in a separate incident in 2006.

Robinson is most known for his role as Darryl on “The Office” and will appear alongside Seth Rogen again in “Zack and Miri Make a Porno.”


Ain’t No Party Like A Scranton Party: ‘The Office’ Invades Pennsylvania

Thousands of Dunder-heads traveled to Scranton, Pennsylvania this weekend for the first annual ‘Office’ Convention, where the hit NBC comedy is set.

Most of the cast, execs and writers for the show made it out to the “Electric City.”

Cast member Ed Helms (”The Daily Show”) was overwhelmed by their warm reception, saying, “It sorta feels like we’re The Beatles here in Scranton.”

The experience was also surreal for executive producer Greg Daniels, who said it was “as if we had been reading the Oz books and then actually visited the Emerald City. I’m really glad I (chose Scranton). I don’t think we would’ve gotten this reception in Utica.”

The biggest event was the two-hour Q&A session on Saturday. Cast member Craig Robinson knew exactly how to please the crowd, answering a question by kissing on-screen girlfriend Mindy Kaling.

Helms, Kaling and Robinson also joined their fellow multi-talented cast mates Melora Hardin, Creed Bratton and Kate Flannery on stage, singing with The Scrantones, who perform the shows theme song.

The show makes frequent references to local pubs, restaurants and lakes in the Scranton area, which have now become famous.
