What is it with celebrities these days? You would think a Hollywood judge would be in their glory facing the prospect of making a judiciary example of someone so famous and well known.  Yet more and more of our celebrities are sent to jail for doing illegal crimes and then released long before their sentence is up.

Lindsay Lohan just served 23 days of a 90 day sentence for violating her probation related to a recent DUI.  In 2007, Paris Hilton served only 5 days of her 45 day sentence for violating her probation following a DUI.  Then again, Ms. Hilton was also oh so very sick (cough cough).

Do these people have miracle criminal law attorneys in California or are they just too cool for orange jumpsuits?  I mean seriously, how many second chances can one person get?

Now rapper DMX (known in real life as Earl Simmons) has been released from a Los Angeles County Jail Thursday [8/12] after serving only 18 days of his 90 day sentence for violating his probation for – guess what? – a DUI!

I don’t know about you, but I’m thinking a DUI is a pretty dangerous offense.  It should be considered quite something that we just collectively, as a society, don’t care.

Last year Mr. Simmons served a full 90 days after cutting a deal on animal cruelty charges and drug possession in Arizona.  Surprised that Arizona would keep him locked up for all 90 days?  Me either.

Well things seem to roll a little differently in the city of angels.  The rapper was ordered back to jail for 6 months in early 2010 after confessing to cocaine use while on a probation from a 2002 reckless driving DUI.  On July 26th the musician began his sentence.  He vowed to spend his time to making steps towards recovery and was released on August 12th.

Seems a crowded jail and some good temporary behavior can get you really far in Hollywood.

It was reported on Tuesday by British Media that George Michael was recently arrested after crashing his car in London. The British Broadcasting Corporation released a statement claiming that the 47-year-old singer was arrested on the fourth of July after his car crashed into an upscale building in the residential area in North London known as Hampstead.

The Metro Police report that they arrested a man in his forties without releasing any names. The only reason given at the time was that the individual had led police to believe that he was unfit to drive. They say the “unidentified” man was taken to the local police station in the area and quickly released on bail after other inquiries were investigated.

George Michael’s publicist declined to comment on the matter when questioned this past Tuesday. In case you were wondering why, it may be because just last year Michael’s singer was interrogated by the police after his car slammed into a tractor trailer. Michaels was quickly released from that situation, however who could forget in 2007 when he was charged with driving under the influence of drugs, resulting in a suspension of his license for two years.

It sure seems like at this point, George Michael could definitely use a reputable car crash attorney due to all the damage he has done behind the wheel. With all the problems he has recently run into, it only seems to be in his best interest; that or stay out of a motor vehicle all together!
