I never was really into Bon Jovi. I mean, I’ll get drunk and slur the words to ‘Livin On A Prayer’ like the rest of us, but thats about it. At least they have Richie Sambora, who could lay down some some badass talkbox parts.
Oh, speaking of Sambora, it appears that his two former stints in rehab didn’t work so well. On Tuesday, he was arrested on a DUI charge in Laguna, CA. In addition to himself, his girlfriend, daughter and daughter’s friend were in his Hummer with him. Because of the two minors in the car, he also faces possible child endangerment charges. Poilice said that he was very cooperative.
In the last year, Sambora had entered rehab, finalized a divorce with Heather Locklear, broke up with Denise Richards and his father died of lung cancer. Damn. With all that on his back, I understand a lil boozing, but certainly not while driving. Sambora goes to court May 7th .

St. Louis Cardinal Scott Spiezio — a former member of the Anaheim Angels and best best remembered for his 2002 game six home-run off San Francisco’s Felix Rodriguez — has once again found himself in trouble. Spezio apparently sped off in his BMW last December after a bout of vodka swilling at a Newport Beach bar. After cutting across traffic and crashing into a fence, Spiezio fled the scene on foot, eventually arriving at a friends apartment. Once there, Spiezio proceeded to vomit and attack his friend, leading to charges of aggravated assault. Today, upon hearing news of a warrant out for Spiezio’s arrest, the Cardinals promptly cut him. After missing considerable time due to substance abuse last season the decision was made with little outward remorse.
I for one say good riddance. Spiezio has always been a tool anyway. From his lame ass “metal” band Sand Frog, to his high-school looking dyed red flavor savor, I for one would not miss his presence at the big league level. I even met Spiezio once when I was a kid attending a spring training BBQ in 1997. Like a bunch of 12 year olds, we lined up for his autograph, being that he was one of a handful of ball players to attend the gathering. We didn’t even care that he stunk. When it was my turn for a signature, he looked at my basketball jersey and baggy shorts, and in a snide voice told me, “Pull your pants up.” Like I said, he’s a really cool guy.

If you caught any of the I Trust You To Kill me documentary where Kiefer Sutherland acted as Rocco Deluca’s tour manager and showed off his liver fortitude and mobile phone misplacement skills, it should come as little surprise that he failed a field sobriety test and was arrested this morning in LA for driving under the influence, further proving that Kiefer in real life is the bizarro Jack Bauer.
from the AP:
LOS ANGELES – Kiefer Sutherland was arrested early Tuesday for investigation of misdemeanor drunken driving after he was stopped for making an illegal U-turn and failed a field sobriety test, authorities said. The actor was pulled over about 1:10 a.m. in West Los Angeles, said Officer Kevin Maiberger.
Sutherland, 40, tested over the state’s legal blood alcohol limit of .08 percent, said Officer Karen Smith. Police declined to say what his blood-alcohol level was. Sutherland spokeswoman Annett Wolf declined to comment.The actor was released around 4 a.m. after posting $25,000 bail, according to Sheriff’s Department records. Maiberger said Sutherland was scheduled to appear in court Oct. 16.
I guess that interview we were scheduling is gonna get pushed back a bit…
