Joe Simpson was arrested for driving under the influence last weekend. I too am surprised it took him this long. I assumed he was drunk the time he conducted an interview largely about his daughter's breasts and for most of his appearances on Newlyweds.
The 54-year-old showbiz patriarch - the fanager of Jessica and Ashlee Simpson - was stopped by officers on Ventura Boulevard in Sherman Oaks, Los Angeles, at around 10pm on August 4th and the police believed he was hammered so they arrested him.
Paw Simpson was then booked and spent the rest of the night in a cell. He was released at 9:41am the following day and did not have to post bail.
According to TMZ, the case has not yet been sent to prosecutors in the Los Angeles City Attorney's office. So we have that to look forward to. However, if criminal charges are filed, Joe is unlikely to receive any jail time as it is his first offense so he would probably just receive a fine. It is indeed a bit of a none story, but it's a Friday and we're all feeling a little fuzzy headed.
While Joe was arrested for DUI on Saturday, Jessica - who gave birth to daughter Maxwell Drew in May - was discussing how she now opts for water instead of horsing the hooch into her at weekends.
She tweeted: "Responsibility (like parenthood and followed swiftly by Weight Watcher commitments) has drastically changed my life! Saturday night drink of choice... WATER! :) (sic)"
Other middleaged celebs enjoying a drink a bit too much this week include Brigitte Nielsen (she was photographed passed out in a public park) and country singer Randy Travis. Travis went all out by crashing his 1998 Pontiac Trans Am into some construction barricades while completely naked. When police found him, he threatened to have them all killed.
