Matt Rutler Cleared in DUI Case

How nice, and rare, to see celebrity scandals end well for a change. Turns out Christina Aguilera’s boyfriend Matt Rutler was NOT too drunk to drive after all. Rutler got popped for DUI back in March, but citing insufficient evidence to prosecute, the L.A. District Attorney determined he won’t be charged with a crime. That’s because his blood alcohol content was ultimately determined to be .06, or under California’s legal limit to operate a vehicle, .08. So why was he busted? Matt has even more to smile about now that he’s in the clear! Aguilera, a passenger in the car at the time, was busted for public drunkenness when officers determined she was too plowed to take care of herself . Matt Rutler was likely arrested on suspicion of DUI by association. Hours after the arrest, officials decided they would not pursue any charges against the singer. Now they’ve exonerated her man, as well. Good for them. Well, except for the whole downward spiral thing.

Nic Cage: Argumentative, WASTED at Tattoo Parlor Prior to Arrest

Surveillance video taken inside a tattoo shop just before Nicolas Cage was arrested this weekend shows the actor drinking and arguing with his wife and others. Cage is clearly shown carrying some sort of drink as he stumbles around, fretting to employees about not recalling where he lived and getting testy with wife Alice. Nic began throwing his clothes around, demanding to get inked up. Intoxicated, he then asked employees to call the cops … ’cause he didn’t know where he lived. Police report that this was the topic he and Alice were arguing over – the address where they’re living while he films Medallion – when he allegedly grabbed her. In the surveillance tape, Cage, holding a clear plastic cup, can be seen with his arms around two friends as he enters. Nic walked out and back in and out again. At that point, he can be seen arguing with his wife and friends. His wife can be seen motioning to herself throughout, as if to say, “Listen to me” or “Come with me.” Eventually, Nic acquiesced and left the shop … only to later be arrested on charges of domestic violence and disturbing the peace, having taunted police to bust him. He was released on $11,000 bail after Duane “Dog” Chapman posted bond for him, which is easily the most random and hilarious part of an already classic story. [Photo: WENN.com]
