Dwight Eubanks, of “Real Housewives Of Atlanta” fame, was arrested last week. The man who made a name for himself as a party planner and style maven alongside the likes of enemies Nene Leakes and Sheree Whitfield was charged with driving on a suspended license. According to the AJC , “officers were patrolling the area of Freedom Parkway and Boulevard on Dec. 14 when they saw a Chevy Tahoe with the driver’s side headlight out. They stopped the vehicle and spoke to Eubanks, who told them he did not have his license with him. When authorities checked, they found out his license had been suspended.” A court date is pending.

‘Last Friday Night (T.G.I.F.)’ marks Perry’s fifth #1 single from Teenage Dream, equal only to MJ’s Bad achievement. By Jocelyn Vena Katy Perry Photo: C. Flanigan/ FilmMagic Back in June, Katy Perry was closing in on Michael Jackson ‘s record for the most #1 singles from the same album — and now she’s tied it up. Thanks to the feel-good party jam “Last Friday Night (T.G.I.F.),” Perry has the same number of #1 singles from Teenage Dream on the Hot 100 as the late King of Pop did from 1987’s Bad. Now, Perry is both the only woman with five #1 singles from the same album and also the only living artist with that record. So what singles got her there aside from “Last Friday Night”? Perry’s previous #1’s from Teenage Dream are “California Gurls,” “Teenage Dream,” “Firework” and “E.T.” Jackson achieved this feat back in 1987 and 1988 with “I Just Can’t Stop Loving You,” “Bad,” “The Way You Make Me Feel,” “Man in the Mirror” and “Dirty Diana” from his Bad album. “What a way to wake up! SO proud to announce that the little-engine-that-could of a song ‘LAST FRIDAY NIGHT’ is officially #1 & made HISTORY!” the singer tweeted Wednesday (August 17). “&u know, I couldn’t have done it with out ya, really I owe u guys BIG… so take this moment to give yourself a high FIVE!!! #allbecauseofu.” Explore our “Katy Perry: By The Numbers” infographic: Perry broke another singles record earlier this month, having the first album from the Billboard Mainstream Top 40 chart to have five #1 singles. Perry’s Teenage Dream album is the first in the nearly 19-year history of the chart to accomplish that feat. “Last Friday Night” has proven to be another successful track for the star, and the party anthem recently got an assist from Missy Elliott on the remix . Perry’s Teenage Dream videos have also been cultural smashes. For the 2011 Video Music Awards , Perry racked up the most nominations with nine, including nods for Video of the Year and Best Female Video for “Firework”; Best Pop Video for “Last Friday Night (T.G.I.F.)”; and Best Collaboration, Best Art Direction, Best Direction, Best Editing and Best Special Effects for the Floria Sigismondi-directed “E.T.,” which features fellow nominee Kanye West. Her dreamy “Teenage Dream” clip even nabbed a nomination for Best Cinematography. What’s your favorite Teenage Dream single? Let us know in the comments below!

The season premiere of ‘When I Was 17,’ also featuring Christopher Mintz-Passe and Colbie Caillat, airs Saturday at 11 a.m. ET on MTV. By Nuzhat Naoreen Bow Wow on “When I Was 17” Photo: MTV At 17 years old, Bow Wow bought himself his first car — a Maserati — but that doesn’t mean he was able to drive it. On the season premiere of “When I Was 17” this Saturday at 11 a.m. ET, the hip-hop star recalls how his initial attempt at taking the driver’s license exam didn’t exactly go as planned. “When I was 17, it was time for me to step it up and walk in the DMV and go ahead and get my license,” Bow Wow says. “Walked in, sat at the computer, doing the test, doing the test. They start asking the feet: ‘How far do you have to stand behind the car?’ Now, this is killing my brain right now. The next thing you know, the computer tells me [to] go see the lady at the desk, and I’m thinking, ‘All right. I passed.’ ” Not quite. While Bow Wow, who at 17 already had a successful career with a couple of albums under his belt, felt confident he’d aced the exam, the results showed otherwise. “Went up there, was as arrogant as possible, like, ‘I’m ready. Where do I go take my picture at?’ ” he explains. “And the lady said, ‘No. You failed.’ I was like, ‘What?’ ” Bow Wow may have been surprised, but his mother was not. “I told him, ‘Bow, you have to study this driver’s book,’ ” his mother, Teresa, recalls. Of course, her son didn’t take the advice. “I was really hurt because that’s every 17-year-old’s dream is to get their license,” Bow Wow says. He didn’t give up, though. Bow Wow, who ended up purchasing the Maserati anyway after failing the test, tried again — and again. Find out how he finally managed to get behind the wheel on the season premiere of “When I Was 17.” “When I Was 17” — this week featuring Bow Wow, Christopher Mintz-Passe and Colbie Caillat — premieres Saturday at 11 a.m. ET on MTV.

Effing Snooki. The Jersey Shore train wreck may have caused an auto accident that sent two police officers to the hospital in Florence, Italy, but she says fans shouldn’t blame her – obviously, because she’s always on the ball – just the car. “The brakes weren’t really working in our Fiat,” Snooki, a.k.a. Nicole Polizzi , says. “They were, like, old. I tried to use the brakes and they didn’t work.” “So to avoid the cops, I ran right into a wall so I didn’t hurt anybody.” Sounds totally logical to us. Following the crash that resulted in Snooki temporarily losing her license, the Jersey Shore gang stuck close to home. “The only time we [drove was] to the gym, so after that, we’d just walk around,” she tells Extra . Nicole and her cohorts return with new episodes August 4. If you haven’t seen it yet, check out the sexual, violent Jersey Shore Season 4 trailer ! [Photo: WENN.com]

Infamous alleged mistress Jaimee Grubbs – the one with the Tiger Woods voicemail of him pleading to take her name of her phone – was arrested in West Hollywood. Law enforcement sources say Grubbs was busted for two offenses, the first of which stemming from a warrant for her arrest for driving on a suspended license. When Grubbs was stopped her license was still suspended. Bail for the outstanding warrant is $26,000. Hopefully they make her pose nude for her mug shot. You know she’d do it. Tiger Woods hit this. She made sure everyone knew. The L.A. County Sheriff’s Department says Jaimee Grubbs was nailed on three outstanding warrants for driving on a suspended license, and her bail is $30,309. She’s got quite an impressive track record. Too bad she and Tiger Woods are no longer together, he could help with the bail. Wait, no, he’s a dirty cheapskate .
