Arrest #6 took place South of the Border
Jason Wahler Busted . . . In Mexico!

Last August we learned that former Laguna Beach: The Real Orange County and The Hills star Jason Wahler was arrested for the 5th time in his very young life and today we learn that J. Wahl was busted AGAIN down in Mexico. The deets around this arrest and subsequent release are mysterious … primarily because the US Consulate is somehow involved. Here is a photo of Wahler getting arrested by the Mexican authorities last week and the deets as sniffed out by TMZ about the whole ordeal:

Jason Wahler — former star of “The Hills” and “Laguna Beach” — has somehow made his way out of a Mexican jail, but for some reason the U.S. Consulate is keeping the reason for Jason’s release a secret. Wahler was cuffed in Cabo last Thursday and thrown in the pokey after getting in a fight. We couldn’t find any record of Jason yesterday when we called various jails. Today the Consulate told TMZ Jason was released seven hours after being locked up. As for why jailers let him out: Wahler signed a document keeping the terms of his release secret. We’ve never heard of that either. Jason’s dad tells TMZ as far as he knows no charges were filed against his son and he’s back in L.A. His dad says Jason tells him he was not drinking and was actually released after one hour.

HMMMMMMM … this is all verrrrrrry curious. Do you suppose that Jason Wahler may have been apprehended on foreign soil while he was working undercover for the US government on a secret mission abroad? Or, is it more likely that Wahler‘s very rich and well-connected father helped get his son sprung from this Mexican jail in the hopes of keeping this arrest off his already too long criminal record? I’m thinking scenario #2 is prolly the right one … and I’m thinkin’ that Jason Wahler is a very sad and lost young man. How is it that one can get arrested 6 times in under 25 years of existence? I don’t know about you but I somehow doubt this is the last arrest we’ll be hearing about from Jason Wahler.

Who's your babydaddy?
Padma Lakshmi’s Babydaddy Has Been Revealed

Last October when we learned that model and Top Chef host Padma Lakshmi was pregs with her first child the identity of the father was not disclosed. In February when Padma gave birth to a baby girl she named Krishna Thea, we still didn’t know who the father is. Just about a week ago, we got our first look at little Miss Krishna and STILL we didn’t know who the father is … but today, The New York Post (by way of People magazine) puts that mystery to rest. According to the mag, the father of Krishna Thea is an investment banker dude named Adam Dell. Here is a pic of Padma with little Krishna on board out and about in NYC yesterday and the babydaddy deets from People mag:

The identity of Padma Lakshmi’s daughter has finally been revealed: Adam Dell, a venture capitalist who splits his time between Austin and New York City, fathered baby Krishna, a source confirms to PEOPLE. Though the Top Chef host announced her pregnancy October, she was mum about the father’s identity. According to the source, Lakshmi, 39, and Dell, 40, are trying to work out visitation rights with their daughter, who will be a month old March 20. Dell would like “more time and involvement with the child,” says the source. “It’s all in negotiations. They are trying to work it out. They are trying to avoid anything messy” … The baby’s father was first reported by the New York Post.

A-ha! At last the mystery has been solved. It was speculated that the babydaddy might turn out to be Laskshmi‘s ex-husband Salman Rushdie but this makes more sense. It’s unfortunate that there seems to be discord about visitation rights but I hope that things are sorted out in the best interests of the baby.

'Achilles (for David Beckham)'
David Beckham’s Injury Inspires A New Poem

I think it is safe to say that many people are very upset that David Beckham was seriously injured in gameplay last weekend, resulting in his inability to play in the World Cup soccer tournament later on this year (the last of his career). I would’ve guessed that Beckham himself is the most upset person of all … but I’ve since come to believe that UK poet laureate Carol Ann Duffy may be even more upset at his injury than even Becks is. Duffy was so affected by Beckham‘s injury that she wrote a little poem about it … like to hear it? Here it go:

David Beckham has become an unlikely muse to Britain’s poet laureate, who has written a verse about the soccer star’s career-threatening injury. The former England captain tore his Achilles’ tendon in a game on Sunday and will miss the World Cup in June as he recovers from surgery. Carol Ann Duffy’s poem imagines Beckham as the ancient Greek hero Achilles, who according to myth was dipped as a baby in the River Styx, making him invulnerable – except for his exposed heel, the origin of the modern terms Achilles’ tendon, and Achilles’ heel. The poem weaves the mythical story together with references to Beckham’s life, including his marriage to former Spice Girl Victoria Beckham and his experimental fashion sense. It speaks of the hero concealed “in girls’ sarongs; days of sweetmeats, spices, silver songs.” It describes him on the field, “his charmed foot on the ball.”

“But then his heel, his heel, his heel…”

Duffy told the BBC Tuesday she was inspired because Beckham “is almost a mythical figure himself, in popular culture.” Beckham’s injury shattered his hopes of becoming the first English player to appear in four World Cups and put the 34-year-old player’s future on the national team in doubt. Duffy, a soccer fan, said she had been moved by the image of Beckham in tears at the side of the pitch after his injury. “You just thought how all the money in the world and private planes can’t sort this. It was a very moving moment.” But she said she doubted she would be hearing from Beckham. “I’m a lot more likely to watch football than he is to read poetry,” Duffy said.

Er … it was very nice of Duffy to pen this poesie about Becks but did she just make a dig about him not reading poetry? LOL!! Still … the poem is interesting, to say the least. After the jump, read Achilles (for David Beckham) by Carol Ann Duffy in full …

Blind Sided
Sandra Bullock & Jesse James Are Dunzo!

Dang!! Talk about your blind sides … a report of infidelity on the part of Sandra Bullock‘s husband Jesse James has quickly turned to something more substantial in a very short period of time. Just days after Sandra was flying high on cloud 9 after winning her first Academy Award for Best Actress came an allegation from a tattoo model named Michelle Bombshell McGee that James cheated on his wife with McGee. Allegations like this are nothing new and shouldn’t be automatically believed … but first, Sandra decided to NOT attend the London premiere of The Blind Side this week (presumably because she didn’t want to answer questions about the allegations concerning her husband cheating on her while she was off filming this movie) and it was revealed late yesterday that Sandra moved out of the home she shared with Jesse and his children (from another woman) just before McGee‘s allegations went public. Where there’s smoke … there is usually fire. It really looks like Sandra and Jesse are dunzo:

From In Touch magazine: When Sandra Bullock thanked her bad-boy husband, Jesse James, as she accepted her best actress Oscar for The Blind Side, she may not have known that while she was away shooting the film, Jesse was carrying on a steamy affair with a tattoo model. While Jesse has had an 11-month affair, including five weeks of sex, with Michelle “Bombshell” McGee, she believed he and Sandra were no longer together. “I would never have hooked up with him if I thought he was a married man,” Michelle tells In Touch in an exclusive interview. “He gave me the impression they were separated.” For weeks, while Sandra was in Atlanta shooting The Blind Side, Michelle had sex at least once a week with the Monster Garage star. Far from a one-night stand, his relationship with Michelle was intimate and highly charged. Michelle even says she called Jesse, who didn’t wear underwear or condoms, by a special pet name, Vanilla Gorilla, because he was so “well-endowed.”

From the Chicago Tribune: Sandra Bullock canceled her appearance at the London premiere of “The Blind Side” days after Internet reports alleged she was having trouble in her marriage and that she had left the couple’s Southern California home. Calls and e-mails to representatives for Bullock and her husband, celebrity motorcycle builder Jesse James, weren’t immediately answered. The 45-year-old actress said in a statement by Warner Bros. UK that she cannot attend next Tuesday’s premiere for “unforeseen personal reasons.” She canceled her appearance almost two weeks after winning an Oscar for her performance in the movie. Bullock went on to apologize for canceling her commitment and to thank people for their support of the film, which has made nearly $253 million domestically. She and James were married in July 2005.

From People magazine: Sandra Bullock and Jesse James are not living under the same roof right now. The actress left the Southern California house she shares with James just days before a report of infidelity by her husband surfaced, a source tells PEOPLE.

If you add it all up … … it sounds like James might’ve been tipped off that the allegations were coming out so he told Bullock who decided to move out of their home and cancel her appearance at the UK premiere of the biggest film of her career all before McGee’s allegations went public. This is so sad. It’s such a shame that Sandra would be going thru this in her personal life right when her professional life has hit an all-time high. I guess people can’t really have it all. It remains to be seen what Sandra’s next move will be … but if this allegation of cheating is true (and it kinda smells like it is true), I find it very hard to believe that she will stay married to Jesse. Ugh … what a sad, disappointing mess ;(
