What's up with Estella Warren heading to Toronto this weekend?

She's Canadian, sure, but she's supposed to be living in a treatment center in Los Angeles for another couple months, as part of her sentence for driving under the influence.

Actually, Warren has a really good reason for heading east (and north), something that even a judge would have to be in agreement with!

What happens in Las Vegas may stay there, but what happens when you're heading back may follow you all the way home.

Samantha Ronson has been charged with two misdemeanors stemming from her Aug. 1 DUI bust near Baker, Calif., a town with a population of about 735 that's mainly known for being a rest stop between Los Angeles and Vegas.

Looks like not even the Godfather could get you out of this one. Julie Pacino, 21-year-old daughter of actor Al Pacino, was arrested early Saturday morning in Manhattan on suspicion of driving while intoxicated.

The former UCLA softball player and aspiring film director was busted after driving through a police checkpoint with, "bloodshot, watery eyes, slurred speech and the strong smell of alcohol on her breath," according to police sources quoted by People.

The of-age daughter reportedly admitted drinking three beers and smoking marijuana prior to entering the checkpoint.

Following the arrest, the elder Pacino rushed to his daughter's side from Los Angeles, where he is working on HBO's Phil Spector murder trial project. Julie was released late Saturday on her own recognizance.

It's not exactly a drama worthy of a soap opera, but the plot still thickens.

Rick Springfield pleaded not guilty Tuesday to charges stemming from his May 1 arrest for alleged DUI.

The former General Hospital star didn't have to be in court because this is a misdemeanor case, so his attorney addressed the counts of driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs and driving while having a 0.08 percent or higher blood-alcohol content on Springfield's behalf.

The singer-actor was busted on Malibu's Pacific Coast Highway after a cop noticed his 1963 Corvette accelerating quickly. The officer smelled alcohol on Springfield's breath, after which the man responsible for "Jessie's Girl" blew a .10 in a breath test.

A pretrial hearing has been set for Aug. 15.

Forget "Jessie's Girl," Rick Springfield was probably wishing he had a good bail bondsman last night.

Fulfilling this week's quota of old stars achieving new infamy, E! News confirms that the soap star-turned-pop star was arrested on suspicion of misdemeanor DUI last night.

The '80s singer—who earlier in the day was threatening to flash the crowd at the L.A. Times' Festival of Books and who on Friday appeared in a live reveal for the Style network's How Do I Look?—was pulled over on the Pacific Coast Highway around 8 p.m. for an unknown traffic violation. Shortly into the stop, the officer smelled alcohol on the breath of the 61-year-old.

Field sobriety tests were conducted and failed, and Sheriff's Department spokesman Steve Whitmore told E! News that Springfield blew a 0.10 percent on the breathalyzer (a blood-alcohol content of 0.08 is California's legal limit). He was released after sobering up, around 2:10 a.m., on $5,000 bond.
