A judge has ordered Prison Break star Lane Garrison to undergo a 90-day psychiatric evaluation in a prison before he is sentenced for driving under the influence in a 2006 crash which killed a teenage boy. Garrison has pleaded guilty to charges of vehicular manslaughter without gross negligence, driving under the influence and providing alcohol to a minor. In December 2006, Vahagn Setian was a passenger in Garrison's Land Rover when the actor lost control of the vehicle and crashed after leaving a pre-Christmas party. The 17-year-old was later pronounced dead in hospital. During a hearing at Los Angeles County Superior Court on Thursday, Judge Elden S. Fox ruled he needed to see the results of a "diagnostic" test on Garrison before deciding his sentence. Judge Fox also told the actor he has no interest in his celebrity. He said, "The fact that you may have some notoriety, I don't really care." Earlier in the day, the victim's father, Karen Setian, told the court that he feared a new TV advertisement Garrison has filmed warning against the perils of driving under the influence is nothing more than an attempt to get a lighter sentence. Setian said, "He is an actor, and he is acting. Let's not fall for his act." Garrison faces a maximum prison sentence of six years and eight months at a sentencing hearing scheduled for October 31.

American TV star Duane 'Dog' Chapman has escaped charges relating to a 2003 bounty hunting mission in Mexico. The star of Dog The Bounty Hunter had traveled with two members of his crew, including his son, to Mexico to capture serial rapist Andrew Luster - the heir to the Max Factor cosmetics empire - in Puerto Vallarta on the Pacific coast in June. But Chapman fell afoul of the Mexican legal system by embarking on the mission, because bounty hunting is deemed illegal in the Latin American country. Chapman, his son Leland and their colleague Tim Chapman - who is not related to Duane's family - were all briefly detained and charged with deprivation of liberty after their success. After spending two weeks in jail, Chapman jumped bail and fled to the United States. However, his lawyers announced on Thursday a judge has canceled an order for his arrest. Attorney Eduardo Amerena says, "Chapman can now be in Mexico without any problem." Luster is currently serving a 124-year jail term after he was convicted in the U.S. in 2003.

He even hired extra security to guard him on his recent tour of Australia. He tells the New York Daily News, "I figure if Bin Laden wants me, and everybody is looking for him, it probably won't happen.

Come on, if anybody (else was) threatened by Al Qaeda, they'd take it seriously."
