Brolin’s Shreveport arrest video hits the fan

By Laura | Tuesday, January 6, 2009, 04:29 PM

And it’s a shocker — watch it here, on TMZ.com, which released the video of Josh Brolin’s arrest outside of a Shreveport bar last summer, along with his “W” costar Jeffrey Wright.

In the video, Brolin and Wright stand hugging each other as they are sprayed with pepper spray and then separated by cops. Brolin is made to kneel and is handcuffed while Wright gets laid out on the street and repeatedly tasered, as the cellphone camerawoman protests.

Other video from patrol cars was also recorded by cop cars last July but not released.

Coinciding with the video’s release, charges in Louisiana against Brolin stemming from the brawl are being dropped. Brolin, Wright and five crew members of the Oliver Stone film “W.” were arrested on misdemeanor charges at the Stray Cat Club on July 12. Brolin and Wright were charged with interfering with police officers after a disturbance involving a crew member broke out.

Lindsay Lohan says she hasn’t split with DJ Samantha Ronson, despite media reports they had publicly sparred several times over the holidays.

In a brief post on her MySpace blog, the 22-year-old actress wrote: “We did NOT break up!” Lohan asked several media outlets “AND every GOSSIP website” to get their stories straight.

She also complained hat her friends had been e-mailing her to console her about the rumored breakup with the 31-year-old Ronson. It’s SO not true. Not yet, anyway!

Sam Shepard arrested for DUI in Illinois

By Laura | Saturday, January 3, 2009, 04:04 PM

Sam Shepard got popped early Saturday morning for an alleged DUI and speeding, but what’s worse is that he was somewhere he probably shouldn’t have been — that’s right, Normal, Illinois. It’s near Bloomington. Just east of Peoria. Not far from Springfield.

Shepard was doing a reported 46 MPH in a residential zone. He responded to the cops’ request to pull over by parking his Tahoe on the curb. According to the Pantagraph.com, the 65 year-old blew an impressive 0.175 which is roughly twice the legal limit.

Shepard was arrested at the scene and taken to McLean County jail. He posted bond and is currently pending a court appearance.

Lohan, Ronson start 2009 with a BIG FIGHT

By Laura | Saturday, January 3, 2009, 03:55 PM

Happy New Year? Not so much — at least for Lindsay Lohan and Samantha Ronson, who were the subjects of a New York Post Page Six report about trashing a hotel room, engaging in a little hand-to-hand combat and shouting at each other in a dirty alley.

According to the story, the new year got started with an argument while the very public pair was partying with family at Set in Miami. Round two “went nuclear” with another screaming match at Mansion, which spilled out into an alley behind the club, where a hobo witnessed Lindsay explaining/shouting at Samantha how this whole pitching-a-fit thing works: “When I storm off, you are supposed to follow me!”

Further discussions erupted later at their hotel room where several sources heard crashing and screaming. The fight reportedly spilled into the hallway at about 11 a.m., where a spy said, “They were punching each other — it was bad. And they were doing this in front of all of us. It was scary.”

Katy Perry, Travis McCoy break up!!

By Laura | Saturday, January 3, 2009, 03:49 PM

Singers Katy Perry and Travis McCoy have ended their relationship. So sad. The “I Kissed a Girl” singer, 24, and the Gym Class Heroes frontman, 27, vacationed together in Mexico over the holidays, but they split shortly before the New Year, says a source.

“It’s a hardship, but she’s regrouping,” a source told Celebuzz, which first reported the split. McCoy took to his FriendsOrEnemies.com blog on Dec. 31, where he posted lyrics to hip-hop group Main Source’s breakup song “Looking at the Front Door.”

The song includes the lines: “We fight every night, now that’s not kosher/I reminisce with bliss of when we was closer/And wake up to be greeted by an argument again/You act like you’re ten.”

After more than a year of friendship and casual dating, the musicians got serious right before both hit the road for last summer’s Vans Warped tour. McCoy bought Perry a “promise ring,” while he wore a silver band with the word “Katy” on it.
