“Trading Spaces” Star Nailed for DUI

Doug Wilson — the guy on “Trading Spaces” who once redesigned someone’s room into a prison cell — was busted early this morning for DUI and sent to a cell of his very own.

Doug was pulled over at around 1 this morning by Decatur, Illinois police after failing to yield to an emergency vehicle — which happened to be a squad car with its lights and siren blaring.

The cop ended up pulling Doug over — and arresting him for aggravated DUI, driving on a suspended license, failing to yield the right-of-way to an emergency vehicle and illegal transportation of alcohol.

Doug was jailed and released on ,000 bond.

I am very excited. This is one of the best shows ever. Let’s hope the movie doesn’t suck. I feel sorry for Sarah Wynter though, replacing Laura Harris just isn’t an easy task.

Year In Review: 2008’s Biggest Celebrity Scandals

#5 Paul McCartney’s Divorce

Coming in at number 5 on our scandal countdown? Paul McCartney’s divorce from Heather Mills. We did 14 stories on the ugly split and its high-profile London court battle.
For her four-year marriage to Paul, Heather made off with nearly million (though she wanted closer to 0 million). And, she dumped a glass of water on the head of McCartney’s attorney.

#4 Madonna and Guy Ritchie’s Divorce

Nineteen stories went to Madonna and Guy Ritchie, who kept divorce rumors at bay when they presented a united front at Guy’s London "RockNRolla" premiere.

But by October, the faade crumbled, and their nearly 8-year marriage was kaput, intensifying rumors of a romantic link to A-Rod.
Madonna has now settled her pricey divorce and Guy will walk away with tens of millions of dollars.

#3 Hogan Family Drama

Rejected by his wife Linda, Hulk Hogan’s family drama spiraled out of control in 2008, warranting 20 scandalous stories.

"It wasn’t an argument, it was, ‘Hey, I don’t love you, I don’t want to be with you. I don’t want to see you anymore,’" Hulk told Access of how Linda ended things.
Hogan’s then-17-year-old son, Nick, went to jail in May, for being the driver in a crash that left his best friend in a permanent vegetative state.
Nick spent over a month in solitary confinement, and the Hogans image took a major hit when the county Sheriff’s office released jailhouse calls between the teen and his dad, where they criticized car the car accident victim, John Graziano.
"For some reason man, God laid some heavy s*** on that kid, man," Hulk is heard saying.
Daughter Brooke Hogan expressed her anger exclusively to Access over the tape’s release.
"I don’t know if they’re allowed to do that," she said. "Paris Hilton and all these other people haven’t had their tapes released."
And she stopped speaking to her 49-year-old mom when Linda started dating then-19-year-old Charley Hill.

"I think it’s really crazy because, I’m like, ‘Uh, Hello! I’m 20!’" Brooke added.

#2 Heath Ledger’s Death

We were on the scene for 2008’s most tragic scandal - the death of Heath Ledger.

We ran 26 stories about Ledger, who died suddenly and accidentally in his Soho apartment at age 28 on January 22, from a mix of prescription medication.

…and the NUMBER ONE BIGGEST CELEB ~SCANDAL~ OF 2008 IS:

#1 Britney’s Tumultuous Year

But by far, our number 1 scandal, with 49 stories, was Britney’s battles throughout a tumultuous 2008.
Rocking a successful comeback now with her CD "Circus," Brit started the year with a meltdown that landed her in UCLA Medical Center and lost her custody of her two sons.
She was released from the hospital in February, her life placed by the courts under her father Jamie’s control. But he’s helped her work her way back to the top ever since.

the article ran last year in nymag and hasn’t been posted here before so if you’re interested (and haven’t read it), here ya go:

"As Socialite Rank gained prominence, it found its ultimate target in Olivia Palermo, a wide-eyed New School student who had hit the charity circuit in tight dresses and loose ringlets around the time of the site’s launch. At first she was warmly received, but gradually she began to offend. During Fashion Week in February, Olivia, just 20 years old, sat in the front row of so many Bryant Park shows that she became known as a potential threat to Tinsley, the reigning princess. Almost instantly, Socialite Rank turned on Olivia, pelting her with nasty remarks…"
