Heather Locklear was arrested last night in Santa Barbara on suspicion of driving under the influence of a controlled substance.
A resident reported Heather was "driving erratically" while pulling out of a parking lot. The California Highway Patrol then found Locklear's car parked on a state highway and blocking a lane. After talking with her, the officer determined she was under the influence of something and arrested her.
She was released without having to post bail.... ;0 hang tough girl!!

Pete Wentz is PISSED OFF!! After watching the new Fall Out Boy music video and being surprised by a phone company's excessive product placement in it. On his blog, Pete said that the video the band worked on for ‘I Don't Care' was not the one that aired, and that they were not aware of the addition of the camera phone shots that ended up in the video. The video went on sale on iTunes, and was full of product placement of Nokia phones, reports rollingstone.com, prompting Pete to have the clip removed from iTunes and Youtube. He went on to say "This will probably end up deleted either by me or someone else but the version of the video that we worked on night after night is not the version that aired. Yet somehow a cut full of glorious camera phone shots did. Just to let you know. It doesn't make any sense to us." ;0 Who in the hell is in charge of stuff like that??? U CANT DO STUFF LIKE THAT WITHOUT THE BAND GIVING PERMISSION beeeatches!! ;0 Check it out...

Holy hell!! Chaos ensued on stage at Toronto's V Festival the other night when Oasis singer Noel Gallagher was attacked, and left with a suspected fractured rib and ligament damage, in front of an audience of 40,000.!! WTF??!! ;0 A man appeared as the band played Morning Glory and ran at the Gallagher from behind, sending him, who had a guitar strapped on, flying into the monitor speakers....
As security sprinted on stage at Toronto Island Park, the man tried to run but fell into a microphone stand as the two guards grabbed at his arms...He was dragged off stage, but before the security guards could get him into the wings, Gallagher's brother, Liam, 35, ran at him and threw a punch, which failed to connect...check out the drama here! it's like 1:13 in ;0 SCARY!! It's SCARY TO BE A ROCKSTAR ;0
