Snooki Arrested, Released for Disorderly Conduct

Jersey Shore" star Snooki was released from jail Friday after being arrested earlier in the day in Seaside Heights, New Jersey, for disorderly conduct, Us Weekly reported.

The 22-year-old breakout reality television star, whose real name is Nicole Polizzi, appeared to be intoxicated as she was taken away by police.

"On Friday at approximately 15:23 hours, Nicole Polizzi was acting in a disorderly matter while on the beach," Seaside Heights chief of police Thomas J. Boyd told the magazine.

"Miss Polizzi was escorted from the beach by patrolmen and placed under arrest for disorderly conduct ... near the boardwalk.

"She was transported to police headquarters and later released on a summons."

A police spokesperson said that meant Snooki will be assessed by a judge in court at a date to be determined and will likely be ordered to pay a fine.

She was not required to pay any bail money to be released from custody.

Jenni "J-Woww" Farley wrote on Twitter Friday: "Going to bail @Sn00ki out of jail ... The things I do for this girl, I swear."

Entertainment website Hollywood Life reported that Snooki had earlier purchased a beer bong and was seen consuming shots from it. She was also seen doing body shots at a beachside bar.

The cast of the MTV show was scheduled to be in Seaside Heights this week to film the third season of the hit show, which follows eight Italian-American young people as they enjoy the summer at the beach.

The show's second season, filmed earlier this year in Miami, premiered Thursday evening.

More than 5.3 million people tuned in -- a 300 percent increase on last season's premiere -- becoming the network's second biggest premiere of all time, behind the second season debut of "The Osbournes."

In the first season of "Jersey Shore," Snooki was herself the victim of an intoxicated patron who punched her in the face in a bar.

Danny Glover Arrested at Demo Against France's Sodexo

US actor Danny Glover and 11 others were arrested Friday at a protest outside the US headquarters of French company Sodexo, which workers accuse of union-bashing and poor working conditions.

Glover was taken away in handcuffs along with the outgoing head of the Service Employees International Union (SEIU) Andy Stern, former Sodexo canteen cashier Terry Shelley and several others, after crossing a police line outside the US offices of the food services firm.

The action brought together hourly-paid workers, students, and even union representatives from Britain and France who sought to show support for US workers like Shelley, who said she was fired after becoming active in a trade union.

"We're here today to say no more to deplorable pay and working conditions," Glover told the crowd of around 300 as they shouted "No Justice, No Pizza", a reference to cafeteria workers who claim they are underpaid and receive few benefits from Sodexo.

"This is a global corporation with global responsibility and we are going to hold them accountable to that responsibility," said Glover, who has starred in movies including "2012" and "Escape from Alcatraz."

Rapper DMX Arrested for Violating Probation

Troubled rapper DMX was arrested in Arizona on Tuesday for violating his probation by regularly using illegal drugs during the last nine months, authorities said.

The rapper, whose real name is Earl Simmons, told a probation officer that he used cocaine and was not complying with the terms of his treatment plan, Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio told Reuters.

He faces five counts of violating probation.

Simmons was booked into a Phoenix jail late Tuesday afternoon and was isolated from other inmates, sheriff's officials said.

"We would hope that he is finally sent to prison," Arpaio said. "We've arrested him five times already. How many times do you have to violate the law?"

The rap star has faced continued legal trouble in Arizona, and was serving probation for throwing a food tray at a detention officer inside a Phoenix jail last year. Simmons spent 90 days in jail on drug, theft and animal abuse charges.

Gary Coleman Makes Bail, But How?

NEW YORK (CBS) - The former "Diff'rent Strokes" star Gary Coleman was bailed out of jail Monday under bizarre circumstances.

Producers of the movie "Midgets vs. Mascots" bailed Coleman out based on an understanding that they can use a shot of his genitals in the film, according to E! Online.

"Midgets vs. Mascots" is a straight-to-DVD mockumentary about a competition between midgets and mascots for $1 million, said E!, which reports Coleman says the shot of his genitals was being used in the film without his permission. It appears the producers and Coleman reached a "gentleman's agreement" -- if you can call it that -- to use the footage, after they bailed out the embattled actor.

The attack allegedly happened early Saturday morning in West Virginia, after Dick appeared at the Funny Bone Comedy Club and Restaurant in Huntington. Dick is currently in the Western Regional Jail, police confirm.
