Edward Furlong: Arrested, Broke as a Joke

Actor Edward Furlong was arrested yesterday for violating a domestic restraining order. Not only that, he’s behind in child support … and he’s broke. Ed told a judge this morning, “I’m out of money. I’m completely broke.” Furlong, 33, currently stars in the upcoming film The Green Hornet . FOR LONG : Doesn’t sound like Ed’s troubles are going away soon . A month behind in child support, Ed lamented that he has to pay 10 percent to his lawyer, 10 percent to his publicist and 10 percent to his manager. Think about it. After that, he only has 70 percent of his earnings to blow on stuff other than his kid … how the heck is he supposed to get by, man? In his defense, sort of, Furlong says the judge never took this into account when ordering the child support his ex, Rachael Kneeland, requested. She’s requested that he up that sum and spousal support. The judge didn’t decide whether to modify the support agreement, so it remains as is for now. Things aren’t looking so hot for Furlong in any case. Furlong was taken into custody yesterday, after allegedly violating a restraining order by getting too close to Kneeland. Sounds like a fun situation. Hey, at least he joined our celebrity mug shots gallery. That’s got to count for something … it’s a pretty exclusive club. And an awesome one.

Ted Williams: Headed to Rehab

A couple days after he was brought in to the police station, and just hours after the public watched him and his daughter spew allegations back and forth in separate interviews, Ted Williams has reportedly checked into rehab. Few details are known at this time, Dr. Phil actually played a role in convincing the recently homeless man to check into a treatment facility. “If Ted is ever going to get better, he’s got to be honest with himself and admit he’s addicted to drugs and alcohol,” says McGraw. “I’ve told him it’s not going to be easy and it’s going to take a lot of hard work. It might be a long journey for him, but this is a big step in the right direction.” Ted Williams and Mother Police were called to a Los Angeles hotel on Monday because Williams and his daughter got into a verbal confrontation. The later has since claimed her father drinks heavily every night. Williams has owned up to a history of alcohol abuse and illegal activity . Such honesty has helped the nation rally behind this man with an incredible voice, but it’s clear he still has a long way to go in his personal struggle.
