Although they said it wouldn’t be released, here it is!! In case you missed it, Nicole Richie was busted for DUI early this morning. 

She looks like a 6th grader.

TMZ has learned that Nicole Richie was arrested for DUI early Monday morning. She was booked at 4:50 AM today and was released around 7:15 this morning. The booking sheet reveals Richie is 5’1″ and 85 lbs.

We’re told two motorists spotted her SUV going the wrong way on the 134 Freeway in Burbank. The drivers called 911.

When the CHP responded, Richie was stopped in the carpool lane and was alone in the vehicle. When cops approached the vehicle, Richie was on her cellphone.

Law enforcement officers tell TMZ Nicole Richie admitted she had taken Vicodin and smoked pot.

A preliminary alcohol screening device revealed that Nicole was not under the influence of alcohol.

This is not the first brush Richie has had with substance abuse. In 2003, she pled guilty to heroin possession. The charges were dismissed after she completed the terms of her probation.

The CHP just informed TMZ the department will not release Richie’s mugshot.

Her reps were not immediately available for comment.

An emotional Lane Garrison was seen weeping and looking very distraught as he left a Los Angeles area church.

Garrison was the driver in a weekend accident that killed 17-year-old Vahagn Setian and seriously injured two other teens. He exited Good Shepherd Church in Beverly Hills with tears streaming down his face and his head in his hands.

The “Prison Break” actor showed up to the church at 11:30 Wednesday morning, spending 15 minutes inside before his tearful exit.

Such a sad story… it’s one of those things that literally could happen to anyone.  So sad.

If you’ve ever wondered where P. Diddy got his original stage name, these photos snapped in Toronto might give you a clue. While hanging out at The Docks on Dec. 2 as DJ Erick Morello (at right in the photos) entertained the crowd, P. Diddy inhaled what appeared to be a joint or blunt, then looked at it and exhaled.

Hmmmm…

Thanks Andrea for the tip!

BRITNEY Spears‘ wild and crazy nights with new pals Paris Hilton and Brandon “Greasy Bear” Davis have caught the eye not only of her concerned fans and the public – but also of the Los Angeles Department of Children & Family Services.

A source close to the singer said, “The department has been calling Britney trying to set up a meeting with her, so they can check on [Spears' baby sons Sean Preston and Jaden James]. The calls started after this recent bout of bizarre public behavior.”

But they are not the only ones worried about Spears.

Her family is aghast at her all-night partying with Hilton and Davis and were mortified when, on four separate occasions, Spears was shot by paparazzi not wearing any underwear.

The family source said her mother, Lynne, “is very disturbed and has been trying to get a hold of Britney, but she can’t. Lynne, Britney’s brother, Brian, and her dad, Jamie, are very upset and are trying to stage an intervention with [Spears' manager] Larry Rudolph‘s help.”

A rep for the Department of Children & Family Services in L.A. didn’t return calls.

But it wouldn’t be the first time the family service agency’s social workers paid a visit to Spears. On April 8, representatives for the department, along with the L.A. County Sheriff’s office, went to the Malibu home Spears shared at the time with hubby Kevin Federline after Sean Preston fell from a high chair and hit his head while he was under the care of a nanny.

Another friend of Spears said it is possible the department is now merely following up on that original visit. But the Spears household has probably become even less stable since April.

Three different times, Britney has checked into L.A. hotels like the Viceroy with Hilton, rather than go home to her sons, who are presumably being watched by her mother.

Us Weekly reports that father Jamie recently had a stern talk with his Britney. The magazine notes, “He was not happy with her antics . . . He told her that she’s a grown woman and needs to act like one, and she’s been making bad decisions.”

TMZ has learned that “Prison Break” star Lane Garrison has hired powerhouse defense attorney Harland Braun in connection with last Saturday’s fatal car accident.

Lane was at the wheel in his Land Rover on Saturday night when it crossed a median in Beverly Hills and crashed into a tree. A 17-year-old boy sitting in the backseat was killed and two 15-year-olds were injured. Braun tells TMZ that Garrison had never met the three teenagers before the night of the accident. Braun says Garrison was at a local supermarket earlier in the evening when the trio recognized him in the checkout line and asked him if he wanted to go to a party. Braun says Garrison went to the party and had one drink.

Braun says Garrison also had one margarita at a Mexican restaurant that night, but that was the extent of his alcohol consumption. Braun tells TMZ that as Garrison was leaving the party to meet a woman at his apartment, the three teens asked to accompany him. Braun says Garrison has no recollection of the accident, which Braun says rendered him unconscious. In fact, Braun claims Garrison’s first memory was waking up at the Century City Hospital emergency room with a taxi coupon on his lap that had been given to him by hospital staff so he could get home.

Braun says he was not told by hospital personnel that someone had died. He learned of the death later from a friend, Braun says, and was “totally despondent.” Braun says a sample of Garrison’s blood was taken at the hospital, but it could take several weeks before the results are in. Braun says he doubts Garrison was intoxicated, but also says, “Who knows if someone put something in his drink at the party.”

Braun also says Garrison’s Land Rover had been experiencing alignment issues as of late and had been pulling to one side, and added that the SUV had brake problems. Braun says he is forwarding repair receipts to the police.

According to Braun, “Nobody knows what happened, it’s a mystery.”
