Extreme Makeover: Home Edition host Ty Pennington, who was arrested for suspicion of driving while under the influence of alcohol and drugs, just released the following statement:
"I made an error in judgment. We all make mistakes, however this is about accountability. Under no circumstances should anyone consume alcohol while driving. I could have jeopardized the lives of others and I am grateful there was no accident or harm done to anyone. This was my wake-up call. I also want to apologize to my fans, ABC Television and my design team for my lapse in judgment and the embarrassment I have caused." i think he should get 45 days in jail like paris did. and ell him to stop holding that power tool that way.

Lohan will end up over overdosing. It's really sad. I hope Ty gets help.

So, not to change the subject or anything but... Have any of you seen the Ellen Degeneres show lately? I guess she hurt her back bending down to up her little dog, and she's been hosting her show from a hospital bed. Set up on her stage. And her guests get to flop on to another bed set up next to her. And, I'm sure she's in pain. But... well, she's hilarious anyways, and a bit loopy on pills and she's totally a crackup! Hosting from a bed. I love it!

She was totally loaded today! Jon Bon Jovi asked her if she was high and she said a little but she wasn't feeling any back pain, that's for sure!

I've seen a couple of her bed shows and of course she already had a hurt back, then she jumped down 49 inches and hurt it more and then when she bent forward.. she was sitting in a chair and bent forward to pick up the 15 pound dog and something snapped. She didn't want to drop Wolf (the dog) so continued the motion to put him on the couch. The doctor they called said it wasn't that common as back injuries go. In fact the day I watched they hadn't been able to do some of the tests because she was too swollen. LOL the second day she'd give this loopy smile and a two finger sign.. it was a "two pill day" She makes her entrance being carefully rolled in, in the bed. Friday was pre-taped, which they were sure to point out, strange to see her dancing around.

The first day Ellen did the show from a bed, she showed her MRI film and explained the injury. Disc deterioration and definitely torn ligament in her spine. Couple days later she said there may also be a fractured / broken bone, but were not able to do further diagnostic tests as yet. She's said nothing more about that.

Yeah, I saw part of Friday's show, and thought maybe she was "released" by the doc. Then I saw her back in bed on Monday, and was seriously confused. And THAT, Mamie, is why I was cracking up yesterday! She was SOOOO loaded, and was so funny (more than usual), and I was on the phone with my manager and finally told her I'd have to call her back cause I hadda watch Ellen. She did manage to get Josh Deshamel (sp?) to blush, and I cracked up at that, too!

Last Thursday Nathan Lane had Ellen in stitches. Early in the show, she said it didn't hurt to laugh any more. Nathan Lane had her in pain though.

oh good lord...... She has called the sentence unfair, and her fans have posted a petition on the Internet urging Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger to pardon her. "I feel that I was treated unfairly and that the sentence is both cruel and unwarranted and I don't deserve this," Hilton told photographers assembled outside her home Saturday. The petition, which had more than 900 signatures by Tuesday morning, urges the California actor-turned-governor to pardon Hilton because she provides "beauty and excitement to (most of) our otherwise mundane lives." "If the late former President Gerald Ford could find it in his heart to pardon the late former President Richard Nixon after his mistake(s), we undeniably support Paris Hilton being pardoned for her honest mistake as well, and we hope and expect the governor will understand and grant this unusual but important request in good faith to Ms. Paris Whitney Hilton," the petition says. http://www.chron.com/disp/story.mpl/headline/entertainment/4784751.html

I seriously take issue with the statement "provides "beauty and excitement to (most of) our otherwise mundane lives". First of all, I don't think she's beautiful or exciting. Secondly, my life is NOT mundane. I also seriously doubt it was an "honest mistake." The only "honesty" in this entire thing is that Hilton "honestly" thought she could get away with it. Finally, if our guv does pardon her, I'll be seriously pissed. To waste government time on her is patently ridiculous. This person needs a serious reality check. As do her "fans" who've signed the petition! (No offense to anyone here who may have signed it, but hello? Why should she get preferential treatment?)

Can't believe I'm in any way defending her but re: the petition, I don't believe she wrote it or has anything to do with the wording of the petition.

I do hope out Gov. pardons her. She is a bright light in a dim-watted universe. The carpenter guy though? I hope they max out on his sentence. I think that's six months.

Why is there a difference between Paris and Ty for you Tish?? Paris has been caught DUI twice if I remember correctly (Once at least, which lead to her suspended license anyways), and this was Ty's first DUI. Why should one be let off and the other punished more??

At least Ty is admitting his wrong doing and sounds sincere in his repentance(sp).

Yankee, i don't think she did either, but it's rather pathetic of her fans, don't you think? and to think she has 'fans' is rather mind blowing. oh, saw Felicity Huffman on Regis and Kelly this am, and she rather firmly defended Lindsey and what a hard worker she is. i am sure people will say it's cause of their movie, but she could just as easily laughed it off and talk about her being young or something instead of firmly defending her work ethic.

When someone is caught the first time driving drunk, I shudder to think of how many times they have done it before and not gotten caught.

Yes it was a funny. Although I'd like them to lock up the carpenter guy just because he doesn't entertain me and he is EVERYWHERE. Re: Ms Lohan...During the filming of Georgia Rules, which is, I think, the name of the film Ms Huffman and Ms Lohan are in together, the producer famously issued a letter about her behavior. Like showing up late. And not showing up at all. And being hospitalized for "dehydration" and then showing up in clubs the next day. And the like. It also led to her co-star, Jane Fonda, telling her off on-set. So I think it's nice of Felicity to put such a brave face on it, but jeez. Covering up for a girl who has been spiraling out of control for several years now doesn't do anyone any good.
