The Smoking Gun has uncovered a two week old arrest of SUPERNATURAL’s Katie Cassidy (ruby) for underage drinking.

NOVEMBER 15–Nabbed for underage drinking, a young starlet lied about her identity to arresting officers because she was a “Hollywood actress” and news of her bust “would not look good.” When Katie Cassidy, 20, was popped two weeks ago by Tucson, Arizona cops following a 2:15 AM traffic stop, she claimed to be Taylor Quinn Cole, a 23-year-old actress.

Cassidy, the daughter of former teen heartthrob David Cassidy, stars in the CW show “Supernatural” and has reportedly been cast as Lucy Ewing in the film version of “Dallas,” the former hit TV series. Cole has guest-starred in “Supernatural” and appeared in the former WB series “Summerland.”

According to Tucson Police Department reports, copies of which you’ll find below, Cassidy was riding in a Chevy truck driven by a 19-year-old male when the vehicle was pulled over for moving violations on October 30. She appeared drunk when quizzed by cops, who noted her slurred speech, clumsy movements, and booze breath. While Cassidy’s blood alcohol content was redacted from reports released by police, a source familiar with the arrest said that her BAC was .16, twice the legal limit.

Cassidy, a West Hollywood resident, told cops she lived in Vancouver and was not carrying any identification. She claimed her name was Taylor Quinn Cole and that she was 21. Asked her date of birth, Cassidy replied, “4-29-84.” An officer then told her that date would have made her 23. That’s when Cassidy confessed, “Okay, Okay, I lied to you–that wasn’t my real name.” [The 1984 date Cassidy offered is Cole’s actual birth date.]

Cassidy told police that she lied about her identity because she was scared and, according to one report, “She said that she is a Hollywood actress and that this would not look good for her.” Cassidy acknowledged that she knew the legal drinking age was 21, adding that she had consumed “several glasses of wine” and some “cranberry and vodka” that night. When cops called Cassidy’s mother, she wanted to know “what could be done,” since her daughter was a “high-profile” actress. When a cop replied that the arrested performer would have to appear in court to answer misdemeanor charges (minor in possession and false reporting to a law enforcement agent), Cassidy’s mother explained that her daughter “didn’t have time to come back to court.” Cassidy, who was arraigned this week, is next due in court on December 18.

Wow, do you think that SUPERNATURAL will pull a LOST and she’ll be killed by the end of the season? I know many fans hope so. I’m trying not to be mean because SUPERNATURAL is one of my main shows and I have great contacts there but come on, some of this is just hysterical. I love that she’s a “high profile actress” like she’s Julia Roberts or Reese Witherspoon. Brilliant. Kids…

“Daniel Dae Kim, who stars as Jin-Soo Kwon on ABC’s hit TV series Lost, was arrested early [Thursday] morning on suspicion of drunken driving. Details of his DUI arrest haven’t been released yet, but police said he was arrested around 3 am. He was booked at the Honolulu police station downtown, posted bail and was released at 5:05 am.

Kim didn’t say anything as he left the station. He was escorted by two police officers to a silver SUV that was waiting for him just outside the swan police station’s receiving area.”

Thanks to TVGuide for the tip.

Wow, this is a hot tv boy sandwich if I ever saw one… PEREZ has pictures of The Office’s John Krasinski and HEROES hottie Milo Ventimiglia sitting next to each other at a hockey game. Sports have never been so gay!

That thud you just heard was Kath from GiveMeMyRemote passing out!

Wow, life imitates art once again. DIRTY SEXY MONEY’s resident celebutante portrayer SAMAIRE ARMSTRONG has entered an outpatient rehab.

“Samaire Armstrong decided to enter an outpatient facility to deal with some personal issues in a therapeutic atmosphere and is doing very well,” a statement released by her publicist.

This can only help the DSM ratings, right?

**UPDATE: From BarryManilow.com comes this official statement to the bruhaha below:

Hey guys,

I wanted to let you know that I will no longer be on The View tomorrow as scheduled. I had made a request that I be interviewed by Joy, Barbara or Whoopi, but not Elisabeth Hasselback. Unfortunately, the show was not willing to accommodate this simple request so I bowed out.

It’s really too bad because I’ve always been a big supporter of the show, but I cannot compromise my beliefs. The good news is that I will be on a whole slew of other shows promoting the new album so I hope you can catch me on those.

Love,
Barry

***Barry will be on The Colbert Report tomorrow night, he’s also scheduled to make a stop at Dancing With The Stars and The Singing Bee. Busy man, love you!

Y’all know I love me some Barry Manilow and hate me some right-wing spouting Elisabeth Hasselbeck so this story made my day!

Original Post:
According to TMZ, he who rights the songs that make the whole world sing also writes the quotes that tells ABC’s THE VIEW to suck it. In particular, that nitwit Hasselbeck.

In an exclusive statement to TMZ, Barry says, “I strongly disagree with her views. I think she’s dangerous and offensive. I will not be on the same stage as her.”

BARRY, I LOVE YOU MORE NOW THAT I EVER HAVE! Look at my man standing up for his closeted gay self!

Manilow was scheduled to appear on The View tomorrow (Tuesday) - instead I say he hits up Ellen.

This weekend’s edition of the always brilliant THE SOUP (on E!) is especially funny. Not only is Joel McHale on fire this week, there is a special guest mocking a certain video that really wants us to Leave Britney Alone!

Not only have I watched Chris Crocker’s Leave Britney Alone YouTube Video, I’ve memorized it. I have it saved on my iPhone. Let’s have a looksy again, shall we?

I can’t get enough of it. I want the second “LEAVE BRITNEY ALONE” as my ringtone, it’s pitch perfect and makes me howl!

Well, on this week’s THE SOUP, ex-Buffy werewolf and current Robot Chicken genius SETH GREEN does not one, not two, but multiple videos mocking Chris Crocker. To watch them head on over to THE SOUP’S MYSPACE PAGE

I had to tune in for the opening act of the 2007 MTV Video Music Awards to see Britney Spears‘ supposed comeback. I’m so happy I did! Her performance was off the hook… And by off the hook, I mean quite possibly the most incredibly bad performance ever!

Watch Britney’s VMA Performance at JustJared

Thanks to JustJared for the photo

This was Britney’s comeback, her chance to redeem all the negativity of the past couple years, to show us all the Britney’s Back Bitches! The only thing it showed us is that she’s the new Anna Nicole Smith!

She looked so whacked out and barely there, it was painful. The lip-syncing was so off, there were times when she just didn’t even bother to make it look like she was singing. There were times when she would let the voices sing for her and she’s just kind of wiggle her arm a little, you know… “dancing” and all. Her movements were slow and sloppy. Her effort was on par with DARIA trying to hit the volleyball.

Her eyes were glassy and dead. Her body while that of any normal girl in America was no Britney body. She was a fat lazy lover up on that stage.

This in no way was the comeback that everyone was expecting and I can only imagine how harsh the criticism is going to be.

Sarah Silverman ripping her a new one, simply genius! It was so harsh the way she basically gave us a visual of Brit’s shaved va-jayjay. So funny but so wrong.

Update #2: Dailymotion and YouTube have removed every video from last night’s performance. I’m now linking to JustJared who still has it up. I’ll try to repost as it becomes accessible again.

*Update: I’ve been sitting here thinking about how bad this really is for Brit. I mean, think about how amazing her performances (and by performances I mean visually, dance-wise and not vocally) were. Some of her early videos were the hottest things ever. “CRAZY” is simply superb, it’s old school Janet/Madonna and to see that this is where she’s landed in just a few short years makes me sick.

I feel like the biggest tool mentioning this but there may have been a time when Lil Jenn and I got up at 5am to head to downtown Boston to see Brit do a live performance outside of Macy’s… I say “may have been” - you don’t know!

I know that Hollywood couples are not destined for a 50th anniversary but I am abso-shocked and devastated to hear that one of my favorite celebrities has decided to separate from her supposed lobster.

The Office’s Jenna Fischer and James Gunn are calling it quits after 6 years of marriage. According to Jenna’s MySpace Blog:

We (James and Jenna) need to announce that we have chosen to separate. We are sorry for any pain this causes family and friends. The enthusiasm we have expressed for each other’s lives, spirits, and careers is real – we have been each other’s cheerleader and friend during the past six years and continue to be so now and in the future.

And a special note for our MySpace fans – We appreciate your support over the years, and would be overjoyed to have you continue supporting us both. You might be tempted to make one of us “feel better” by putting the other one down in a post. Please don’t – we still have the utmost respect for one another, and we’d have to delete you. We aren’t taking questions or doing interviews about this particular aspect of our lives. We’re also avoiding reading any press on the subject, so don’t send us any clippings or links about the split. Thank you in advance for respecting our privacy.

Ugh, I’m sad… I love them both. Does this mean she will become Fancy New Fischer?

While I’m just now jumping on the 30 Rock bandwagon and hella loving it, I have to say that I’m shocked to see Jack Donaghy Alec Baldwin is a verbally abusive Father in real life.

TMZ has the audio of Alec Baldwin’s horribly ugly phone message to his ELEVEN YEAR OLD daughter. It’s an out of control rant that is borderline child abuse and it really pains me to listen to. Not that I don’t think people should be able to have Monster freakouts when warranted but to leave the message he left for his daughter is inexcusable.

If you’ve not heard it, you have to click here and listen.

Apparently all those David Mamet lines of dialogue have carried over into his day to day vernacular (thank you teacher)… at least he didn’t call his daughter a fucking fuck. Phew! She dodged a bullet.

If you’re not completely disgusted by Baldwin’s behavior and prefer to judge him on his amazing acting abilities and charming good looks, then check out the World Premiere of his new film BROOKLYN RULES at the Independent Film Festival of Boston. Brooklyn Rules is showing at the Coolidge Corner Theatre as our closing night film on Tuesday, May 1st.

See what I did? I turned a negative into a positive. I’m good like that!

This should come as no surprise to anyone that’s happened upon Glenn Beck’s unwatchable show on CNN’s Headline News Channel. Beck is an arrogant douche and I just want to slap his smug little smirk right off that stupid balding fat face of his.

Yesterday Beck had US Weekly’s Dina Sansing on his show to talk about my most hated Idol 6 contestant with the penchant for disrobing online Antonella Barba. What started out as a normal discussion of privacy in the digital age quickly turned into a highly sexist and horrible moment that I can’t stop laughing at. I’m not laughing at his comments but her reaction is amazing and seriously the best thing I’ve seen online today!

This video is the best thing online tonight…

Finally! Who keeps those bastard children?

Britney Spears has filed for divorce from her husband of two years, Kevin Federline, PEOPLE

L.A. Superior Court spokesperson Pat Kelly tells PEOPLE, “Yes, it’s confirmed. It was filed today, on the grounds of irreconcilable differences.” TMZ.com was the first to report the filing.

Spears and Federline wed in September 2004 and have two sons, Sean Preston, 1, and Jayden James, who was born Sept. 12.

According legal documents filed on Tuesday in Los Angeles, Spears seeks custody of both boys, with Federline getting visitation rights. Spears gives a separation date of Monday. She asks that each party pay their own legal fees and waives her right to spousal support. She also requests that certain assets, including “miscellaneous jewelry and other personal effects,” be confirmed as separate property.

She and Federline, 28, both spent the weekend in New York City, but Spears did not appear at any of the events promoting Federline’s new CD, Playing with Fire.

Still, on Friday night at his record release party at the Manhattan hot spot Stereo, Federline shot down rumors of strife in his marriage, telling PEOPLE, “I don’t waste any energy thinking about these things. I don’t get caught up in it.” But the previous week, he admitted that, because of his touring schedule, “I’m not going to see my family as much as I want to, but I mean, those are the sacrifices you make as an artist.” has confirmed.
