3 'Myrtle Manor' Stars Arrested for DUI, Underage Sex

If you've seen "Trailer Park Boys" and, for whatever reason, wished it was real life, you're in luck. "Welcome to Myrtle Manor" is a "docu-drama" reality show on TLC about a group of South Carolinians living in a trailer park.

But in what could be a new record for reality TV, three stars of "Myrtle Manor" were arrested in the span of one weekend.

Here's the lowdown on what the method actors were cuffed for:

Proving that celebrity won't always get you out of tickets, actress Reese Witherspoon was arrested for disorderly conduct last Friday. The "Legally Blonde" star was legally cuffed after mouthing off to a Georgia trooper who had pulled her husband over on suspicion of drunken driving.

Witherspoon's husband James Toth was charged with DUI after registering a 0.139% blood alcohol level in a breath test, CNN reports. But he apparently was not the only one that night who may have been a bit plastered.

Ex-Porn Star Jenna Jameson Busted for Battery

Ex-porn star Jenna Jameson was arrested and charged with battery after allegedly attacking someone over the weekend.

Police in Newport Beach, California, offered few details about the alleged attack, aside from stating that the victim made a citizen's arrest of the actress, reports CNN. The victim and Jameson were acquaintances, though it's unclear the exact nature of their relationship.

Jameson, 38, was taken to a jail in Orange County, but she was released without having to post bail. She faces a misdemeanor charge for the battery.

Gucci Mane Wanted for Assault on Soldier at Club

Rapper Gucci Mane is wanted by Atlanta police for the alleged assault of a soldier at a night club.

Police say Gucci Mane, whose real name is Radric Davis, smashed a champagne bottle over the unidentified soldier's head after the soldier asked for a picture at a club called Harlem Nights, reports ABC News.

The soldier said he was in the club's VIP area when he tried to strike up a conversation with Gucci Mane. He claims that the rapper struck him in the head with a champagne bottle, causing severe lacerations. The soldier had been celebrating his birthday at the club, and had just returned to Georgia after a deployment to Afghanistan last year.

Boy, 12, Admits to Ashton Kutcher 'Swatting' Prank

A 12-year-old boy has admitted to an Ashton Kutcher "swatting" prank.

The child, whose name was withheld due to his age, stated in court that he made a false police report last year that armed criminals had taken over Kutcher's home and had shot people, reports Reuters.

This call prompted authorities to send a heavily armed response team to Kutcher's Hollywood home, creating a dangerous situation for the innocent victims inside the home.

MC Hammer Arrested for Obstructing an Officer

Rapper MC Hammer was arrested near Oakland, California for allegedly obstructing an officer.

The 50-year-old rapper, whose real name is Stanley Kirk Burrell, was arrested at a shopping center. Police say that Hammer was blasting his stereo from a vehicle very loudly causing the stop, reports the Contra Costa Times.

When asked about the ownership of the vehicle, police say that Hammer was uncooperative and refused to answer any questions. He was charged with obstructing an officer in the performance of their duties and resisting an officer.

Don't urinate in public, no matter how popular your movie was.

Actor Bronson Pelletier of "Twilight" fame apparently thought he could relieve himself at Los Angeles International Airport. There's nothing wrong with taking a leak there, if you do it in the designated areas -- those designated areas being the restrooms.

But don't celebrities get special urinating privileges in Los Angeles? Well, if Pelletier had any confusion about that, he was certainly set straight. He was charged with public intoxication after he was stopped while urinating on the terminal carpet while drunk last December. You can watch the video, courtesy of TMZ, right here.

Rapper DMX Arrested for Driving Without License

The rapper DMX was arrested in South Carolina this morning. He was charged with driving without a license.

A sheriff's deputy apparently recognized the rapper, whose real name is Earl Simmons, at a gas station about 1 a.m., reports South Carolina's WHNS-TV.

The deputy followed the rapper for a short distance before pulling him over. What was the reason for the traffic stop?

Did you notice how a random man walked on stage at the Grammys as Adele was set to receive her award?

Don't worry if you didn't. Most people didn't notice, either.

But Vitalii Sediuk, the Ukranian prankster, was arrested and spent the night behind bars for allegedly crashing the Grammys, according to The Hollywood Reporter.

'Buckwild's' Salwa Amin Arrested on Drug Charge

A "star" on MTV's reality show "Buckwild" is facing a drug charge in West Virginia.

Authorities say Salwa Amin, 24, is in jail and being held on a felony charge of possession with intent to deliver, reports The Associated Press.

Details of the arrest are still not clear, and Amin -- who's typically not camera-shy -- does not want to talk to the news media. Amin's arrest, however, may only fuel interest in the MTV show.
