What's Going on Here, Celebrities? Tito Ortiz Allegedly Assaults Jenna Jameson; Randy Quaid & Wife Arrested
The paparazzi must be having a field day in the courts. Down in Orange County, mixed martial arts star Tito Ortiz was arrested for allegedly "beating up" his live-in girlfriend and mother of his children, Jenna Jameson. The porn queen was apparently seen bruised today and she says a restraining order and charges are sought. The alleged incident happened today at their Huntington Beach home around 10 a.m.
Up in Santa Barbara County, actor Randy Quaid and his wife were arrested today for missing multiple court dates. "They came to court this morning hoping that Judge Ochoa would forgive them for not showing up a couple weeks ago, but the judge was not very pleased with them," Santa Barbara Senior Deputy District Attorney Arnie Tolks said, according to the New York Daily News. "He thought they were disrespectful to the court, didn't appreciate the prior problems and didn't like them flashing their Golden Globe around at the last court appearance."
The couple is accused of not paying their $10,000 hotel bill in Montecito. TMZ likes that sheriff's deputies used pink handcuffs on the two.
