There are quite a few celebrities looking at doing time this week. Let’s catch up:
Steven Adler – Former drummer for Guns N’ Roses
If you know Steven Adler’s history, it will probably come as no surprise, but he was arrested earlier this morning on drug charges in Los Angeles. Adler was actually fired from the band Guns N’ Roses at the height of its success back in 1989 for his drug addition. Apparently, learning nothing from losing his meal ticket, Adler continued to do drugs. He suffered a stroke after he injected a speedball in 1996 and still has a speech impediment because of it.
Adler’s bail for this offense was set at $45,000.
Khloe Kardashian – Reality star of “Keeping Up with the Kardashians”
Proving that jail is not just for the male celebrities is 24-year-old Khloe Kardashian. She was taken into custody this morning at 8:45 am to begin serving a 30-day sentence for violating her probation. Kardashian was sentenced to 36 months probation after a March 4th DUI charge. She was also sentenced to community service as well as ordered to attend an alcohol education program.
However, on July 3rd, Khloe admitted to doing neither and was sentenced to 30 days in jail. Because LA jails are so crowded, it is estimated that she will only serve about 3 days. “Keeping Up with the Kardashians” was just picked up by E! for a third season.
Pete Doherty – Singer
Over on the other side of the pond, an arrest for perpetual bad boy Pete Doherty has been issued by a Magistrate Court. The arrest without bail was issued after 29-year-old Doherty didn’t show up for his hearing for the second time.
Doherty, former boyfriend of model Kate Moss, was due to appear in court on charged of causing criminal damages after attacked a member of the paparazzo last summer when she snapped a photo of him and then-girlfriend Irina Lazareanu.
