Actor Chris Klein charged with DUI

American Pie actor Chris Klein has been charged with drink driving – and if he’s convicted he’s going to jail.

The 31-year-old actor is facing one count of driving under the influence and a second count of driving with a blood alcohol level of .08 or above, the Los Angeles City Attorney’s office confirmed.

And because Klein has a previous DUI conviction from 2004, he will spend time behind bars if he is found guilty of the charges.

California law states that multiple DUI offenders must serve a minimum of 96 hours in jail. The maximum prison sentence he could face is 12 months.

Klein, who is best known for his role as Oz in 1999 movie American Pie, might also have to take a breath test every time he wants to start his car if convicted.

A new law, going into effect next month, requires multiple DUI offenders to have an ‘ignition interlock system’ installed in their car if they want to drive.

The system is essentially a breathalyser test that is synced up to the vehicle. If the driver is not sober, the car will not start.

Klein was pulled over while driving westbound on the US 101 at Woodman Avenue, Sherman Oaks, California, in the early hours of June 16.

Officers stopped him at 3.13am when they noticed his car weaving between lanes two, three and four of the freeway.

The actor reportedly failed field sobriety tests and was arrested – and according to US reports two breathalyser tests registered his blood alcohol level at .22 and .24 – three times the legal limit of .08.

Klein has since checked into rehab and is enrolled in a 30-day alcohol addiction programme at the Cirque Lodge centre in Utah.

He is due in court for an arraignment on July 9.

Kirsten Storms Pleads Out
Perhaps now there are clearer skies ahead for Kirsten Storms. The General Hospital actress pleaded no contest to a DUI-related charge Wednesday stemming from her September arrest on a Los Angeles freeway, L.A. City Attorney’s Office spokesman Frank Mateljan confirmed. I blame it all on Marlena. after all, how messed up would you be if your mom had been possessed by Satan himself, had her identity switched with her insane sister and tossed in a nuthouse as a result, while the sister took over her life, been mind controlled by Stefano countless times, etc etc etc. plus i still think that roman is really her biological father and john is Brady’s father. Common with a mom like that, she is sure to have a lot of baggage. :) Sorry, i HAD to do that! hee hee hee. All kidding aside. It is nice though to see her take care of this and accept responsibility right away.

End Of Career For Michelle Rodriguez?

End Of Career For Michelle Rodriguez?

Michelle Rodriguez fears her career may be over now that she faces jail on D.U.I charges. The former Lost actress, who has committed a string of traffic-related offenses including hit-and-run and driving while under the influence of alcohol, was sentenced to 180 days in prison after lying about completing community service. She is right if she thinks that her career could be over, at least she has the feeling that she has committed some errors against the laws of this country and she could have to pay dearly for that. I know if she drops her rates or price of working in a project there are many stupid producers who will sign her up because she is hot actually she is very hot and guys just love to see her on screen. She writes, “When I moved here to Hollywood, California four years ago….excess became my only remedy. Yeah, it took me a lot of falls to wake up, breathe, and appreciate again. I have reached the end of my rope with regards to my career. It has taken me two years to slow down and pay attention.”
