Judson Birza (aka Fabio), the winner of “Survivor,” season 21 in Nicaragua, was arrested Wednesday afternoon on suspicion of being under the influence of a controlled substance, according to TMZ.
Law enforcement sources tell us cops noticed Birza at around noon riding a skateboard in the street — which is illegal. They stopped Birza, noticed he was acting strangely, and determined he was under the influence.
Santa Monica police arrested Birza and took him to the station, where he was booked and jailed.
Birza was also booked for an unrelated DUI warrant as well as a probation violation.
He quickly posted his $37,000 and was spotted leaving and hopping into a stretch white limo.
Fabio told TMZ, “Dude, this is such bulls**t … I got treated like a baby.”
Moments after he got into the limo — Birza and his buddies popped a few Tecates to celebrate his newfound freedom.
I absolutely love Amos Lee, have been since his self-titled debut album back in 2005. ‘Arms of a Woman’ off that album still gives me goosebumps. He released ‘Supply and Demand’ in 2006, and ‘Last Days at the Lodge’ in 2008. Those albums are each beautiful – and I listen to them constantly. When I heard he was releasing a new album – I was ecstatic! It’s been three years since his new album, so I was so excited to hear his new music! ‘Mission Bell’ is a beautiful album. It comes out on January 25th – and will only be $9.99. So if you’re an Amos Lee fan like I am, you must buy it! You will not be disappointed!
His new album is a beautiful folky-pop masterpiece. He even throws in a couple duets with Lucinda Williams and Willie Neslon! His soulful voice makes the lyrics he sings to life. My favorites on the album are “Violin”, “Stay With Me” (featuring Priscilla Ahn – love her too!) and “El Camino”.
On January 25, Amos Lee will release Mission Bell, his fourth album for EMI’s Blue Note Records, and his richest and most fully formed album to date. Mission Bell, which was produced by Joey Burns of the acclaimed band Calexico, displays both range and cohesion, an array of emotions unified by Lee’s eclectic taste and distinctive vocals. With a remarkable set of guests—including Lucinda Williams, Willie Nelson, Sam Beam (Iron & Wine), Priscilla Ahn, Pieta Brown, and James Gadson—and the musical backing of Calexico, the album marks the arrival of Amos Lee as a mature artist who continues to explore his musical and thematic interests.
I get the privilege of seeing Amos in Portland this Friday – but luckily for you – his tour’s just getting started! GO HERE to see when he’s coming to your city!! (Go quickly – shows are selling out left and right!)
Here’s a live video of him performing ‘Windows Are Rolled Down’ which can be found on his new album, ‘Mission Bell’!
I have 2 copies of ‘Mission Bell’ to give away!

Kim Kardashian has taken to her blog to speak out and educate her fans about the difficult reality of teen pregnancy.
After seeing a story about a Tennessee high school where 90 students were either pregnant or had given birth in the past year, Kim was so moved she tweeted and wrote on her blog:
It seems that shows like Teen Mom are all of a sudden making teen pregnancy seem cool in the eyes of young girls. The kids from these shows are all over the news, even on the covers of magazines, and have been become almost like celebrities, but girls, these are not people you should idolize! When I think back to when I was 16, there is no way I would even have considered having a baby. That thought wouldn’t even have entered my head. Having a baby is one one of the biggest, and most life-changing decisions a person can make and while I’m not saying that no teen is in the position to raise a child, having a baby so young shouldn’t be seen as the trendy thing to do.
Kim implores her fans to “think very carefully” before making the choice to be sexually active, adding “talk to your family, friends, teachers, and most of all, be careful.”

After Star Magazine claimed that the newlywed actress, 23, was expecting her first child with husband Mike Comrie, Hilary Duff cleared the air with a text to Access Hollywood’s Billy Bush.
“Nope, not pregs!” Duff’s text read. To squash speculation over her bump? “Maybe I should start wearing some tighter clothes lol,” she added.
The former child star then took to Twitter to address the rumors again.
“Wow what a way to wake up and find out you’re pregs! It’s just a rumor guys! Not true. But thanks for all the good wishes! Lol,” she Tweeted.
