Knives out: The most-hated bad boy in the history of reality cooking shows just spent some time in the cooler for allegedly consuming a little too much of the good stuff.
Marcel Vigneron -- the runner-up in "Top Chef" season two -- was pinched early Saturday morning on suspicion of DUI off the PCH in Laguna Beach. Marcel was initially stopped for speeding, but after showing signs of intoxication he was given a blood test and was taken into custody. Bail was set at $2,500.
Man loves his craft: Even after spending a night in the slammer, he went straight to a cooking demo in O.C. No, the popo didn't Ginsu his license -- he still can drive despite the DUI.
With a name like Matt Hoover, you'd expect that the "Biggest Loser" champ would suck at personal training. Well, if you believe a new neck-breaking lawsuit, he's an even bigger loser than you thought. Clarissa Sanford claims she hired Hoover in 2006 to tone her ass up at Vision Quest Sports and Fitness in King County, Washington. She says Hoover not only was late and careless, but also, instead of spotting her, he walked away while she was bench pressing 40 pounds of weight. Sandford says by the time he returned the weight crashed down on her neck.
As a result, Sanford says she suffered "serious neck injuries which ultimately required a five-level fusion surgery from the C3 through C7 levels of her cervical spine."
She's suing Hoover and VQS for unspecified damages.
Hoover and club couldn't immediately be reached for comment.
Here's "Million Dollar Listing's" man-shagadelic real estate douche bag Chad Rogers (left) -- and former actress turned Scientolomom Katie Holmes (right). One of them sold their soul to the devil for money.
He's gone ballistic on his neighbor, enshrined his junk in cement, and discovered every stupid way to hurt himself on "Jackass" -- but even Steve-O's standards stop him from jumping onto the oft-derailed "Celebrity Rehab" train.
Hollywood residents have been contacting TMZ, bitterly complaining that the VH1 reality show "Sober Living" is turning their lives upside down ... and it's a house that's a stone's throw from Brad and Angie's pad. The show, which features Z-listers including Shifty Shellshock, Mary Carey and (drum roll) Rodney King, captures on camera the lives of substance abusers struggling to stay sober in the same house.
We went out to the neighborhood today and got an earful. For starters, people who deny themselves drugs and/or alcohol tend to scream like muthas, day and night. Neighbors are constantly complaining about the trash from the house (they're also complaining about the garbage).
People in the house are concerned about blowing a .08 or higher. Neighbors are more concerned about blowing a fuse, because lights from the production are blowing circuits left and right.
He may have gotten jack for the first season of "Project Runway," but now everyone's favorite mentor, Tim Gunn, is getting some serious haute couture bucks for just showing up to an event.
Sources close to Gunn, who also hosts his own TV show and is Chief Creative Officer for Liz Claiborne, tell us he gets close to $30K for public appearances. Make it work! In contrast, "Hills" star Audrina Patridge nets around $10K to show up to a club and Kim K demands about $25K.
While Tim isn't hosting nights at Les Deux or PURE like those ladies, if you want his design expertise at your next fashion event it's gonna cost you.
The gay cowboy from Texas on this season's "Big Brother" needs a new ride and he's willing to sell you the shirt off his back to get it. Literally. Steven needs the dough for a new truck -- his old one blew up on the way to "Big Brother" -- and he's auctioning off the University of Texas muscle shirt on eBay to raise the cash. One unappealing -- or appealing, depending on what you're into -- selling point: He wore it the entire time he was on the show.
At long last, Puck will finally be an upstanding member of society -- and it's all TMZ's fault.
The San Diego P.D. is after Puck for a three-year-old warrant on traffic violations. The "Real World" star got in touch with us to say he didn't even know he was on the hook for them, but he's going to SD to pay his dues.
It all started after we got him bragging about siring the kids of lesbians in Vegas. The SDPD saw our piece and sounded the alarm.
There's never a shortage of class on "Big Brother" -- so it's no surprise that self-obsessed contestant Jesse Godderz has this as part of his "modeling" portfolio.
The "Real World" loon David "Puck" Rainey was at a '90s throwback party at Jet nightclub in Las Vegas Monday night. Fourteen years hasn't change much -- he spouted out gems like "my wife doesn't care where I put my b**ls, as long as I don't bring back any bugs."
What's more shocking: That Puck has managed to stay alive this long or that he was invited to a party at all?
Ever wondered what the beginning of a hissy-fit looks like?
In a WNYW interview with Lauren on the red carpet right before Tuesday night's "Paws for Style" charity event, Anne Craig let the dog out of the bag -- and LC's freaked-out reaction was priceless!
The organizers of the event say L.C. should have known all along she was supposed to walk the carpet (she never did).
Talan Torriero -- 'memba him from MTV's "Laguna Beach" -- has been linked with Nicole Scherzinger, Kristin Cavallari, LiLo and Kimberly Stewart. Clearly, the man's got game.
But when it came to those pesky Lauren Conrad hook-up rumors, he wasn't so forthcoming.
A doorman hired to work at Kitson during Paris Hilton's clothing line launch says a bodyguard for Steve-O punched him in the face during a shoot for the wackadoodle's reality show. In a lawsuit filed today in L.A. County Superior Court, Roland Cano says he was at his post at the front door of the trendy shop, when Steve-O and his 6'9", 375 lb. goon showed up with a crew filming the reality show "Dr. Steve-O." When Cano refused to let them in the event, he says Steve-O's bodyguard and former football player Reggie "Big Regg" Pace "without provocation, violently punched [Cano's] head repeatedly."
