Scott Weiland Busted Again?

The UK might be able to boast the king of substance abuse in Pete Doherty, but it wasn't that long ago that a Yank named Scott Weiland was the addiction posterchild.  To young to remember kiddies?  Check this out:  The guy's been busted for goofballs so many times, his November 21 arrest for driving under the influence didn't even make the rounds until TODAY.   On the other hand, Pete eats a tic tac and NME calls the cops.

In all seriousness, this sucks.  Dude's got kids now.  Stop hanging out with that bad influence Slash already!

The Doherty Jokes Stop Here

Oh Pete Doherty.  You start to get our hopes up, then as quickly as the judge gives you another inexplicable slap on the wrist, you're back up to your elbows in the funny stuff again.  But this time, one of your friends got it all on tape ,and suddenly the whole thing went from funny-sad to just plain sad.  Check out the clip over at The Sun. 

Winehouse Busted for Possession

Though music bloggers have probably had this post qued up for months, we suppose it's still newsworthy that Amy Winehouse got busted for drugs.  Held overnight with her husband and an unidentified third-party, perhaps Winehouse was just doing research for that upcoming Doherty duet.  Remember why she's worth writing about after the jump.   

Kid Rock Busted for Brawlin'

To call our interest in the white-trash antics of Kid Rock passing - even that much is over-stating it.  Whatever waning cred he had was erased by the mind-numbing stupidity of chart-topper Rock N Roll Jesus (all the more disappointing after the surprising "Hard Rock Hank Williams" quality of 2003's "Kid Rock").  But this mug shot (taken after a morning arrest for fisticuffs outside a waffle house) was just so spot on, we just couldn't resist.

Boy George Goes All Rick James on Us

Boy George's little jaunt in the park last summer might look like a picnic compared to the repercussions for his latest brush with the fuzz.  We're no experts on British law, but something tells us that a kidnapping conviction could carry with it more than a slap on George O'Dowd's bracelet-clad wrist.

via the Daily Mail:

Boy George is on bail while police investigate allegations that he kidnapped a male escort and chained him to a wall in his London home.

Auden Carlsen, 28, claimed he was grabbed by the singer and another man and chained up after the star invited him to his house in Shoreditch to pose for photographs.

George allegedly  produced a box of whips and sex toys, telling Carlsen, "Now you'll get what you deserve."
