The White House has released official photos of Jenna Bush&#8217;s wedding ceremony and reception. She looks beautiful and her special day seems like a perfect mix of elegant touches with a down home celebration. Jenna, 26, and her new husband, Henry Hager, 30, are thought to be heading off to a European honeymoon. The new couple will return home to a two bedroom townhouse in Baltimore, Maryland. Jenna has a job as a schoolteacher in Washington, DC, and Henry will work for an energy company in Maryland. Best wishes to the new couple. </p>
<p>We posted <a href="http://www.celebitchy.com/11591/jenna_bush_missed_a_chance_at_an_american-style_royal_wedding/#comments">full details of their wedding ceremony and reception</a> earlier today. </p>
<p>All photos thanks to <a href="http://www.whitehouse.gov/news/releases/2008/05/images/20080510_p051008sc-0215-772v.html">WhiteHouse.gov</a>. Jenna and Henry are shown with their parents including Mr. and Mrs. John Hager, and with the reverend who officiated their ceremony, Kirbyjon Caldwell of Houston&#8217;s Windsor Village United Methodist Church.</p>

<b>Update</b>: The <a href="http://www.celebitchy.com/11595/jenna_bushs_wedding_photos/">photos have been released of Jenna&#8217;s special day</a> and it looks incredible.</p>
<hr width="85%" size="1">
Jenna Bush, 26, married her boyfriend of nearly four years, former White House aid and MBA graduate student Henry Hager, 30, on Saturday. The event was held at Bush&#8217;s ranch in Crawford, Texas, and was attended by around 200 guests. Jenna certainly could have chosen to have an elegant affair at the White House, but that&#8217;s not her style and she didn&#8217;t want to draw too much attention to herself. </p>
<p>There was a <a href="http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=90354950">very good editorial by Diane Roberts</a> on NPR today about how Jenna missed a chance at a wedding that would have been as close to a royal occasion as is possible in America. Roberts cited some Presidents&#8217; daughters who chose to have White House weddings that were attended by the press and followed closely by millions of Americans. If Jenna would have had that type of wedding it might have provided her lame duck President father a brief blip in his terrible ratings, but it also would have made her a target. </p>
<p>As it is, we only have one old pre-released photo of Henry and Jenna and the details about their wedding. They chose to go the Beyonc&eacute; and Jay-Z route and haven&#8217;t even released a wedding portrait yet. (Update: Here&#8217;s <a href="http://www.celebitchy.com/11595/jenna_bushs_wedding_photos/">a link to the photos of Jenna&#8217;s wedding</a>)</p>
<p>Here are some details from <a href="http://www.people.com/people/article/0,,20199160,00.html">People</a> and an <a href="http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=90354950">NPR story</a>.</p>
<ul>
<li>A rehearsal dinner was hosted by Hager&#8217;s parents for around 100 people in Salado, Texas on Friday, and all the wedding guests were invited.<br />
</p>
<li>The wedding and reception were outdoors.<br />
</p>
<li>Jenna wore &#8220;an embroidered organza Oscar de la Renta gown&#8221; that&#8217;s described as simple and elegant. She did not wear a veil.<br />
</p>
<li>Her twin sister Barbara was the maid of honor and wore a de la Renta dress that was cut low in the back and was &#8220;moonstone blue shimmer with a silver sash.&#8221;<br />
</p>
<li>There were 14 other attendants in her &#8220;house&#8221; party, which sounds less formal than a standard wedding party.<br />
</p>
<li>The men wore suits, not tuxes, with Henry in a dark blue suit and powder blue tie. His brother was his best man.<br />
</p>
<li>He had 14 ushers in his party also. They are said to have walked the women to their seats but not to have been involved in the ceremony.<br />
</p>
<li>The bride and groom stood at a special beige limestone cross made for them of the same stone used on the ranch home on the estate.<br />
</p>
<li>The wedding was officiated by Rev. Kirbyjon Caldwell of Windsor Village United Methodist Church in Houston.<br />
</p>
<li>Wedding singer Tyrone Smith or &#8220;Super T&#8221; and his 10-piece band provided the music for the reception. He is described by <I>People</i> as &#8220;a favorite at Southern frat parties.&#8221;<br />
</p>
<li>The first dance was &#8220;Lovin&#8217; in My Baby&#8217;s Eyes&#8221; by Taj Mahal, and the father-daughter dance was &#8220;You Are So Beautiful.&#8221;<br />
</p>
<li>Jenna and Henry are thought to be honeymooning in Europe. They will live in a two bedroom, two bath house on Baltimore&#8217;s south side. Jenna will return to her job teaching at a public school in Washington, DC and Henry has a position with energy company Constellation Energy. He will graduate with his MBA from the University of Virginia next month.
</ul>
<p>[Many bulleted details nearly word for word from <a href="http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=90330057">NPR report</a>.]</p>
<p><strong>Other weddings of sitting presidents&#8217; daughters</strong><br />
<a href="http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=90330057">NPR</a> reminds us that the most extravagant White House wedding in recent history was President Nixon&#8217;s daughter Tricia&#8217;s live wedding broadcast from the Rose Garden. Tricia Nixon married liberal Harvard law student Edward Finch Cox on June 12, 1971, when the Vietnam War was still in full force. Cox was featured on the cover of <i>Life</i> Magazine twice after her wedding, which <i>Life</i> called &#8220;akin to American royalty.&#8221; </p>
<p>In contrast, Dorothy Bush, Jenna&#8217;s aunt, got married in a super secret ceremony in 1992 at Camp David when Jenna&#8217;s grandfather was President. </p>
<p>An aid to President HW Bush explains in part why Jenna chose a more low-key event: &#8220;If they&#8217;d have gone on TV, the wedding would have been shown all over the world and Jenna Bush would have been an international celebrity — and she would have been a target. They&#8217;re preparing the transition to private life and they&#8217;re not particularly interested in seeing Jenna Bush become a huge celebrity.&#8221; </p>
<p>You understand why they didn&#8217;t have a wedding at the White House and it seems like a wise decision for them. The whole world would have made fun of Jenna instead of her dad for once. </p>
<p>Best wishes to Jenna and Henry for a normal family life. They&#8217;re a very cute couple and they seem to be off to a good start, all things considered. </p>
<p>Here&#8217;s Tricia Nixon and President Nixon at her 1971 wedding in the Rose Garden, the only wedding held there in history.</p>

<small>See <em>People</em> Magazine&#8217;s latest edition for the tattoo photos</small><br />
When you hear that Nick and Mariah got each other&#8217;s names tattooed on their body as a symbol of their undying six weeks of love, you assume that they&#8217;re small to medium tattoos of the type that are regrettable but easily lasered off or covered over after an inevitable break up. Johnny Depp had his &#8220;Winona Forever shoulder tattoo altered to read &#8220;Wino Forever&#8221; and Angelina Jolie had her &#8220;Billy Bob&#8221; tattoo removed and replaced with the coordinates of her children&#8217;s birthplaces.</p>
<p>The disparity between Nick Cannon&#8217;s tattoo for Mariah Carey and Mariah&#8217;s &#8220;Mrs. Cannon&#8221; tattoo is huge, though. Hers is easily covered up and is hard to see. She has a small butterfly at the base of her spine with &#8220;Mrs. Cannon&#8221; in script as the center line of the butterfly. It&#8217;s nearly impossible to see and you can&#8217;t tell that the center of the butterfly is actual writing unless you&#8217;re right up close. </p>
<p>Nick Cannon has &#8220;Mariah&#8221; tattooed across his entire upper back in giant half-cursive writing with a mirror image of the tattoo beneath it like a reflection. That is going to be super painful to remove. What&#8217;s more is that these two got the tattoos right after they met each other, because Mariah told People it had been a &#8220;few weeks&#8221; since they had the tattoos done and they&#8217;ve only been together for six weeks. Scary Spice and Eddie Murphy also got tattoos for each other almost immediately, and look how that worked out for them:</p>
<p><strong>On how they connected immediately while collaborating on &#8220;Bye Bye&#8221; video</strong></p>
<blockquote><p>Nick: From the first time we sat down to discuss the video&#8230; we connected. We had so much in common spiritually, and we laugh at the same things. I didn&#8217;t have to put on my Mac Daddy suave mode. I was able to be myself with her. We are both eternally 12 years old. </p>
<p>Mariah [laughing] We were having a [sic] such a good time on the shoot. </p>
<p>Nick: I brought her little pieces of candy. I&#8217;d write little third-grade notes instead of being over-the-top.</p>
<p>Mariah: He wrote a note, &#8220;Will you be my girlfriend?&#8221; with boxes for yes or no. In the video, we&#8217;re boyfriend and girlfriend. It seemed very natural. </p></blockquote>
<p> [From <em>People</em> Magazine, print edition, May 19, 2008]</p>
<p><strong>On if their friends were surprised by the marriage, and about their tattoos</strong></p>
<blockquote><p>Mariah: Some were, but some weren&#8217;t. One thing [few people] knew was we got tattoos a few weeks earlier. So anyone who saw my [Mrs. Cannon] tattoo wasn&#8217;t surprised. </p>
<p>Nick: To me rings are special and exciting, but tattoos mean more than anything. They&#8217;re forever and ever. They professed our love.</p>
<p>Mariah: And they hurt!</p>
<p>Nick: A lot.</p></blockquote>
<p>  [From <em>People</em> Magazine, print edition, May 19, 2008]</p>
<p><strong>How Nick Proposed with a Ring Pop, filmed it, then did another take for the cameras</strong></p>
<blockquote><p>On April 25 Cannon took Carey to the roof of her NYC apartment to see the Empire State Building, lit pink and lavender to honor her album E=MC<sup>2</sup>. As he often did, he gave her a Ring Pop - candy shaped like a big jewel. But inside the wrapper was a 17-carat pink-diamond ring&#8230; Her reaction? &#8220;He had ribbons around it, so I said &#8216;I think mine&#8217;s broke,&#8221; says Care. When he drpoped to one knee, &#8220;she ran away and got all shy,&#8221; he says. Finally, she said yes - twice. Cannon, who filmed it all, proposed again to get a perfect take, this time on a helicopter. &#8220;That,&#8221; says Carey, &#8220;was beautiful.&#8221;</p></blockquote>
<p> [From <em>People</em> Magazine, print edition, May 19, 2008]</p>
<p>So Nick says they both act 12, that he sent her candy with little notes on it, and that he even proposed with candy. And he taped the proposal twice so I assume it will be on television at some point after someone pays a hefty sum for it. They marked their names on each other like a junior high student writes on a notebook cover, and then topped it off by having an impulsive wedding. Mariah wasn&#8217;t stupid though and she seems to have hedged her bets. Reports say she did get a prenuptial agreement. Now that I know her tattoo for Nick is tiny and hard to decipher she seems to have thought this through much more than I previously gave her credit for. </p>
<p>Here&#8217;s a clip from Oprah with some of the photos that are now in <i>People</i>. It&#8217;s pretty funny.<br />

Halle Berry looked gorgeous and sporty at the Revlon Run/Walk for Women yesterday. The event was held at the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum, with proceeds to benefit breast and ovarian cancer causes. Berry has been a spokesperson for Revlon since 1996. </p>
<p>Berry had baby Nahla Ariela Aubry seven weeks ago and the newborn has yet to be photographed by the paparazzi or make a high-paid appearance in a magazine. Good for Halle for not taking part in the ever-escalating bid for baby pictures by the celebrity glossies. She could make millions for sitting for photos for one day and talking about how great her life is post-baby, but she&#8217;s deliberately keeping little Nahla out of the spotlight. Halle hasn&#8217;t openly courted the press in some time, so it&#8217;s not like she&#8217;s doing a 180 like Tom and Katie did after Suri arrived. I&#8217;d love to see what Nahla looks like, though. </p>
<p>Thanks to PRPhotos for these pictures. </p>

Jennifer Aniston and John Mayer&#8217;s new romance hasn&#8217;t been thwarted by his rumored dalliance with a blond at a bar. The two good looking famous people were photographed poolside at the Mandarian Oriental in Miami yesterday. Aniston put her arm around Mayer in the pool and they were seen cuddling on the lounge chairs afterwards. <a href="http://justjared.buzznet.com/2008/05/10/jennifer-aniston-john-mayer-poolside/">Just Jared</a> notes that they had a workout session together just prior to this and were cooling down. </p>
<p>Mayer performed last night at the wrap party for Aniston&#8217;s film <em>Marley and Me</em>, in which she stars with Owen Wilson. According to <em>In Touch</em>, the party was rescheduled to accommodate Mayer&#8217;s performance:</p>
<blockquote><p>After filming for three months in Miami, Jennifer Aniston has big plans for the wrap party of Marley &#038; Me, including a special performance by her new man, John Mayer! In Touch can reveal that the celebration will take place at Nikki Beach in Coconut Grove on May 10, where the sexy rocker will perform at least three songs. According to an insider, the party was originally supposed to take place on May 9. “Everything was changed at the last minute so John could do this for her. He’s crazy about Jen.” The pair have fast-tracked their romance and the insider says, “It’s hot and heavy but in that very cool way.” The insider on the set adds, &#8220;John isn’t going to hide his adoration and he’s telling everyone what a cool chick Jen is.” Looks like this relationship is anything but a wrap!</p></blockquote>
<p> [From <a href="http://www.intouchweekly.com/2008/05/johns_special_performance_for.php">In Touch</a>]</p>
<p>Mayer handled the big tabloid hoorah over their first photographs together <a href="http://www.celebitchy.com/11458/john_mayer_is_super_mellow_and_open_about_jennifer_aniston_romance/">extremely well</a>, saying &#8220;This is me living my life and a guy with a really powerful lens and I don’t fault him. There are much worse problems in the world. Everything’s cool!&#8221; These two are really growing on me and I&#8217;m actually rooting for them. </p>
<p>Mayer has <a href="http://www.funnyordie.com/videos/611387370c">a new video on Funny or Die</a>  in which he makes fun of his douchebag persona. He&#8217;s wearing a tracksuit in the clip and acting full of himself. At one point he&#8217;s talking to some music producers about song concepts and says &#8220;How about something everybody can relate to, like when you&#8217;re f&#8217;ing one supermodel and the other ones jealous?&#8221; </p>
<p>The guy is not my favorite person and I don&#8217;t get him, but he&#8217;s not as bad I thought he was. Maybe Aniston is mellowing him out. Or maybe they have, like habits together, that help them mellow out. Nudge nudge.</p>

I haven&#8217;t watched &#8220;American Idol&#8221; in weeks, but apparently there is some kind of drama going on with obvious favorite David Archuleta&#8217;s dad and the show&#8217;s producers. Jeff Archuleta, the overbearing Dadager of this season&#8217;s &#8220;chosen one,&#8221; has been banned from the American Idol set.  The 17-year-old David is talented but immensely boring and over-rehearsed, thanks to his bossy dad- and now, that is going to cost the show producers and FOX money in the form of royalties. </p>
<blockquote><p>TMZ has learned David Archuleta&#8217;s dad, Jeff, has been officially banned from &#8220;American Idol.&#8221;</p>
<p>Here&#8217;s how it went down. &#8220;Idol&#8221; sources tell TMZ Jeff has been a complete pain in the ass, interfering with the entire production. He has badgered producers, the band, vocal coaches and even other contestants. The final straw came this week, when Jeff wanted to change the lyrics to David&#8217;s first song, &#8220;Stand By Me.&#8221; Jeff insisted on adding a verse from Sean Kingston&#8217;s hit, &#8220;Beautiful Girls.&#8221; Producers sent him an e-mail telling him the lyrics could not be changed. They were beyond pissed when David sang the song with Kingston&#8217;s lyrics during the live show.</p>
<p>We&#8217;re told by changing the lyrics, it created problems with the song&#8217;s publisher and cost &#8220;A.I.&#8221; a lot of money.</p>
<p>Jeff was ordered to sit with &#8220;A.I.&#8221; lawyers on Wednesday, who told him he was &#8220;banned from being in the rooms where David was learning or rehearsing his songs.&#8221; It&#8217;s &#8220;Idol&#8217;s&#8221; position, since David is 17, he does not need a guardian &#8212; just a teacher. Jeff will be allowed to sit in the audience during the live show but he&#8217;s 86&#8242;d from anything backstage.</p>
<p>Sources say the other contestants were fed up with Jeff and didn&#8217;t want him near them. Now they have their wish.</p>
<p>All in all, sources say Jeff is the stage dad from hell. BTW, he was banned on the set when David did &#8220;Star Search&#8221; a few years back.</p></blockquote>
<p>[From TMZ]</p>
<p>Okay, this is my theory on this story: it&#8217;s a big ploy to boost ratings because people aren&#8217;t watching this piece of crap show anymore. It&#8217;s been obvious since Hollywood week who the judges want to win (David Archuleta), but the problem is, the kid&#8217;s not charismatic enough to watch week after week, and the show&#8217;s themes and judges are even more boring. So the producers have decided to add a little behind-the-scenes drama to get people talking about it again. </p>
<p>Nice try, FOX- I&#8217;m still not watching.</p>

Things looked pretty tense for the Cruise family as they sat in a box at an LA Galaxy Game on Saturday. It was the first time Tom, Katie, Suri, Isabella and Connor have all been photographed together at an event or by the paparazzi since <a href="http://www.celebitchy.com/7548/isabella_cruise_is_supposedly_swiping_katie_holmes_clothes_but_where_is_she_its_been_six_months/">December, 2006</a>. In the fall of 2006, Katie and Tom were pictured sitting on the sidelines and cuddling at Isabella and Connor&#8217;s sports matches near constantly.  After Suri was born Tom&#8217;s older kids pretty much dropped out of site. Connor was seen out on his 13th birthday having dinner with his dad in January, but that was a rare sighting. </p>
<p>There may be a good reason for the palpable misery and tension among the Holmes-Cruises - The LA Galaxy soccer team featuring David Beckham <a href="http://web.mlsnet.com/news/team_news.jsp?ymd=20080511&#038;content_id=156782&#038;vkey=news_lag&#038;fext=.jsp&#038;team=t106">lost that game on Saturday</a> 2-1 to the New York Red Bulls. </p>
<p>Three of David Beckham&#8217;s sons, Brooklyn, Romeo and Cruz, were in the box with them, but their mom was not at that game. Victoria Beckham caught a flight from LA to London earlier that day, which may have made it convenient for her to avoid being seen with the Cruises. Victoria and David recorded a tribute to Cruise that aired during the Oprah special, but it primarily focused on his films and they did not talk as much about their friendship with him. </p>
<p>Little Suri, two, held her ears when the crowd cheered. Her older sister, Isabella, 15, is shown handing her a doll to try and make her feel better. </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.celebitchy.com/11557/george_clooney_got_hit_on_by_roseanne/2"><img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/s218/celebitchy/maya/clooneyrosanneheader.jpg" hspace="2" border="0"></a></p>
<p>Back in the day, George Clooney worked on Rosanne Barr’s sitcom.  He wasn’t quite so hot then – he had sort of a pillowy, Farrah Fawcett -esq hairdo going on – but he was still George Clooney, which means he could still make the ladies want to drop their panties.   George has been doing some last-minute promotion for his box office failure <em>Leatherheads</em>, and gave a pretty funny interview to Rolling Stone where he talked about his early acting experiences.</p>
<blockquote><p>Hand it to George Clooney: He&#8217;s sexy, he&#8217;s funny, and he&#8217;s not afraid to share embarrassing stories about how Roseanne Bar hit on him.  The actor, who sat down with Rolling Stone movie critic Peter Travers Wednesday night at the Picture House Theater in Pelham, N.Y., following a screening of his latest movie Leatherheads, revealed secrets about his early days working for Barr on her sitcom Roseanne – as well as his thoughts on Paris Hilton and bombing at the box office (which, he readily acknowledges, Leatherheads did). Choice quotes below:</p>
<p>Travers: &#8220;I have this quote (from TIME magazine) to read aloud from your former boss Roseanne Barr. &#8216;He can drink too much and still while standing in a bar parking lot at 3 a.m. discuss the world with such passion and good sense that you actually stop imagining him nude.&#8217;&#8221;</p>
<p>Clooney: &#8220;Don&#8217;t you want Roseanne writing your obit? I worked on her first series, and when I met her she said, &#8216;You&#8217;re really good looking, why don&#8217;t you take me out behind the stage and make me stink.&#8217; She was unbelievably kind to me at a time when no one was.&#8221;</p></blockquote>
<p>[From <a href="http://www.people.com/people/article/0,,20198548,00.html">People</a>]</p>
<p>That’s… um… <em>quite </em>the quote.  I don’t think there’s anything I could say about it that wouldn’t be wildly, wildly inappropriate.  Not that that would generally stop me… but I think it’s raunchy enough that we don’t need to add anything to it.  No word on if the Cloons actually took Rosanne out behind the Warner Brothers lot.  But I’m guessing that if he’s sharing the story… and he got the job… he must have gone the way of the casting couch.</p>

<p>Many an actor has made a failed – and generally embarrassing – attempt at a second career.  The most notorious examples of this generally involve anyone putting out an album.  But here and there you find a failed clothing line or a ridiculous attempt at dancing.  But once in a while, an actor successfully crosses over the threshold into a successful second career.  And for whatever reason, they seem to have the most luck in politics.  Probably because their egos serve them well in the political arena.  Alec Baldwin gave an interview to <em>20/20</em> which airs this Sunday night, and in it he says he’s considering running for public office.</p>
<blockquote><p>Alec Baldwin says he&#8217;s ready to be Mr. Nice Guy - and he&#8217;s mulling a run for public office.  The Massapequa, L.I., entertainer, eldest of the four Baldwin brothers turned actors, says in an interview airing Sunday that politics looks appealing now that he&#8217;s turned the corner on 50.  &#8220;There&#8217;s other things I want to do,&#8221; besides acting, the left-leaning performer tells CBS&#8217; &#8220;60 Minutes.&#8221; &#8220;There&#8217;s no age limit on running for office, to a degree.&#8221;  It is &#8220;something I might do one day,&#8221; he said.</p>
<p>Discussing his public divorce from Kim Basinger and the custody battle that led to an angry voicemail to daughter Ireland Eliesse, calling her &#8220;a thoughtless little pig,&#8221; Baldwin said he is learning something about tact.  &#8220;You can pretty much bet all you own that I would never leave another voicemail message for my daughter that wasn&#8217;t just like something out of a Rodgers and Hammerstein score,&#8221; said the &#8220;30 Rock&#8221; actor.</p>
<p>Over the years, Baldwin has done little to hide his brand of politics. He has called Dick Cheney a terrorist, then said the vice president wasn&#8217;t a terrorist but rather &#8220;a lying, thieving oil whore and murderer of the U.S. Constitution.&#8221;  </p></blockquote>
<p>[From the <a href="http://www.nydailynews.com/gossip/2008/05/09/2008-05-09_alec_baldwin_may_rock_world_of_politics.html">New York Daily News</a>]</p>
<p><a href="http://www.celebitchy.com/5007/alec_baldwin_acting_noble/">I came down pretty hard on Alec</a> after the whole calling his daughter a pig fiasco.  But that was before I ever watched <em>30 Rock</em>.  And now that I’ve seen it, I can say that I really am spineless enough to love Alec Baldwin no matter what the hell he does.  He’s THAT good in it.  Rarely do I admit I am wrong, but he can call any kid any name he wants, for all I care.  And I’m pretty sure if I’d turn this quickly just because he’s a good actor, there’s a pretty decent chance I’d vote for him too.  Sad.</p>

<p>DMX’s life is really going down the crapper.  On Tuesday he was arrested in Arizona for speeding over 100 MPH and driving with a suspended license.  In January, a judge <a href="http://www.celebitchy.com/8646/dmx_ordered_to_pay_damages_of_15_mil_to_sons_mom/">ordered him to pay $1.5 million in a defamation suit</a> brought against him by the mother of one of his children.  DMX had said in an interview  that he didn’t cheat on his wife, because the woman had raped him.  He also said he didn’t remember sleeping with the woman, and he’d remember, because she was ugly.  So she must have raped him.  And last summer, <a href="http://www.celebitchy.com/5505/sheriffs_take_away_dmxs_dogs/">sheriffs took away twelve of the rapper’s pit bulls due to neglect and abuse</a>.  So the easy way to sum up DMX’s life right now is that he is physically incapable of doing even one thing right.</p>
<p>But apparently that wasn’t enough for the guy.  On Friday, police went to DMX’s home to finally arrest him on animal abuse charges.  Did the guy surrender like a normal person?  No, he holed up in his room, refusing to come out, and forcing the police to call in the SWAT team.</p>
<blockquote><p>…the actor-rapper was arrested early Friday at his Phoenix-area home on suspicion of animal abuse and felony drug possession following a search of the house and, before that, a brief standoff with police when he attempted to shut himself up in his bedroom.  According to the Maricopa County sheriff&#8217;s office, a SWAT team executed a search warrant on DMX&#8217;s Cave Creek, Ariz., residence at about 3 a.m. in connection with a seven-month-old investigation into reports that the Cradle 2 the Grave star had a number of malnourished pit bulls on his property.</p>
<p>&#8220;A guy like this DMX character with all his money and fame has no excuse for not providing proper care for his animals,&#8221; said Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio. &#8220;He has a long criminal history and obviously has no respect for the law.&#8221;</p>
<p>DMX, whose real name is Earl Simmons, tried holing up in his room when the fuzz first arrived, but officers quickly talked him into cooperating, after which they discovered weapons, drugs and five pit bull puppies, which were taken to a nearby prison where female inmates will look after them (the pups, not the guns and drugs).</p></blockquote>

<p>DMX is due in court on the charges next week.  He was also booked on four counts of drug possession.  His lawyer gave some poorly worded speech about how the sheriff just had it in for DMX, because he was videotaped speeding and arrested.  And apparently the lawyer thinks the sheriff somehow took that as a personal insult.  Um… I’m guessing it definitely served to remind the guy to follow up on some legal issues with DMX, but I don’t think it’s exactly a personal affront.  </p>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;I think [that] Earl, when he was caught on video just this week speeding at 114 miles per hour, just rubbed it in [the sheriff&#8217;s] face, so the sheriff felt he had to do something. From what I hear, I would&#8217;ve been glad to bring Earl in if they ever requested it. I called the sheriff on numerous occasions and never, ever received a phone call.&#8221;</p></blockquote>

<p>All right then.  Next time, it might be a better idea to advise your client not to keep breaking laws, instead of complaining when he gets arrested on new and old charges.  Maybe feed your dogs, take care of them, treat them with dignity… and drive less than 114 mph.  All those things are likely to keep a sheriff – even one with a personal vendetta – off your back.</p>
