Quite a surprise to hear that Harry Potter actress might be headed to US to complete her college education. Emma Watson is checking out Ivy League colleges in US and was spotted at Harvard. (Now was she there for college or the Oktoberfest?)
Actor Heather Locklear was arrested after police suspected her of driving under the influence of a controlled substance in the upscale Hollywood suburb area of Santa Barbara. Heather Locklear is 47 years old. She was pulled over by a California Highway Patrol officer after a resident reported seeing the actress leaving a parking lot and “driving erratically”. Personally to me that sounds like somebody was keeping an eye on her.
After the cops got the call, the officers checked on it and found Locklear’s car parked on a state highway and blocking a lane in Montecito. Montecito as Californians would tell you, is a wealthy community about 90 miles northwest of Los Angeles. Heather Locklear was alone at the time of her arrest.
Now when the cops spoke to her about why she was parked and blocking the lane, they could immediately suspect that the actor was not in a stable mind.
Locklear was taken to the police station where she was tested for alcohol and drugs. She was booked at 7 p.m. on suspicion of driving under the influence of prescription medication. She was later released from custody.
Actor Paul Newman who was renowned for his roles in ‘The Hustler,’ ‘Cool Hand Luke,’ ‘Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid,’ ‘The Sting’ and ‘The Verdict’ and many other classics died on Friday of cancer.
(There were initial rumor reports that Paul Newman had died in a plane crash but thats not true. Perhaps since some days back Blink 182 guys were involved in a deadly plane crash, a lot of viewers think this is the only way how celebrities can possibly die).
Corrie Loftin is an upcoming model and she has many shoots to her credit. These days there is lot of interest around her and rightly so. She deserves all the attention.
