Chace Crawford has been arrested for marijuana possession.
The 'Gossip Girl' star was arrested while in a parked car in the Dallas suburb of Plano on Friday (04.05.10). He was booked and later released on a misdemeanour charge for possession of less than two ounces of the drug, which was not lit on his arrest. A source told HollywoodLife: "Chace was rolling a joint. He had a little under two ounces of marijuana in a plastic baggy sitting in clear view on the dashboard. "He was very polite and low key in a pair of jeans and flip flops and never identified himself." The 24-year-old was heading back from Mexico where he had been spending time with his sister. The maximum charge for possession in Texas is six months in jail and a fine of up to $2,000.
Frankie Sandford's family plan
The Saturdays singer is excited about the future with the McFly bassist - who she recently reconciled with following a brief split - and is looking forward to settling down and starting a family. She said: "He's always quite romantic. But the most romantic thing is he wants to make me happy. I've always wanted to get married one day and have my own family." The former S Club Juniors singer - who started dating Dougie over a year ago - admits she knew she was "right" for the musician before they even met. She added: "I knew we'd get on, even before we'd actually met. When we were younger, magazines would often ask him who he liked and he'd always say me, even though he didn't really know me. "When I was in S Club Juniors I thought he seemed nice, and when we met I was like, 'yeah, this is definitely right." However, the 21-year-old beauty admits she would make her boyfriend "suffer" if she ever found out he had cheated on her. She added: "If I killed him he wouldn't be able to suffer! I would probably torture him though, and go mental. "It would be such a shock if he did cheat though, I'm not going to lie." Frankie Sandford wants to have children with Dougie Poynter.

Why Bipasha's performance was a low point and how Hrithik dazzled
There was nothing official about the absence of the Bachchans, including Abhishek Bachchan and Aishwarya Rai, as also Shah Rukh Khan, who had previously announced he would be at Colombo, but it was quite clear that Bollywood was taking the boycott threat seriously.
It's not that the southern Indian distributors are opposed per se to the event going out of India - it has previously been held in cities like Macau, Bangkok and Amsterdam - but they were specifically opposed to Colombo as the venue because of what they perceived to be the excesses by the Sri Lanka armed forces in the final push against the Tamil Tiger rebels last year.
Still, the event weathered the storm, as was evident at the ritzy grand finale, the highpoint of which was Hrithik Roshan's mindblowing livewire performance when he not only danced but wowed the audience by singing as well.
The other highlight was the compering by Lara Dutta along with Boman Irani-Riteish Deshmukh who once again enthralled the audience with their excellent chemistry on an extravagant set.
But then, there were the low points too - for instance, Bipasha Basu's performance on the awards night and the humid weather.
And, the threatened boycott by the South Indian Film Chamber of Commerce meant the glamour quotient on the final light was much lower than in the past, with it being left to the likes of Salman Khan, Sanjay Dutt, Anil Kapoor, Saif Ali Khan, Kareena Kapoor, Hrithik Roshan and Bipasha Basu to fly the Bollywood flag.
Nevertheless, Sri Lankan President Mahinda Rajapaksa was ecstatic about hosting the awards ceremony in his country.
"Thank you IIFA for choosing my country as the venue for this extravagant event. It will help us in bridging the gap between the two nations in a simple manner," Rajapaksa said.
The grand finale apart, there was much more to the three-day event
On the first day, the IIFA Fashion Extravaganza saw the participation of many Bollywood actors and Sri Lankan cricketer Kumar Sangakkara, who walked the ramp for leading Indian and Sri Lankan designers. This was backed by a live musical performance by composers Salim-Suleiman and singers Kailash Kher and Anushka Manchanda.
A charity cricket match was organised the next day between the Sangakkara XI, boasting of some Sri Lankan greats and two teams comprising Bollywood stars and led respectively by Suniel Shetty and Hrithik Roshan. The former but naturally knocked out the Bollywood heroes.
The sixth edition of the FICCI-IIFA Global Business Forum, also on Friday, focused on various strategies to explore and boost business opportunities between India and Sri Lanka. The theme this year was "India - Sri Lanka Partnership: The Way forward", with some key speakers being President Rajapaksa and former Indian junior foreign minister Shashi Tharoor.
The first look of movies like 'Dabaang', 'Lamhaa' and 'Knockout' were also showcased at the event, as was a sneak peek into the multi-million project Kingdom of Dreams - a mega entertainment destination slated to open in Gurgaon ahead of the Commonwealth Games in October.
Shilpa Shetty::What are hubby Raj's grand plans for her on the day?
An ecstatic Shilpa wrote on her blog: "Glad Raj is back to celebrate my 1st birthday after marriage on the 8th of June. He has instructed my manager to keep 7th, 8th, 9th free to surprise me with a break (Yes, he's full of surprises! He's made arrangements for a trip but I have no idea where to... too sweet, all very exciting)."
Shilpa got to know about the location early on June 7 though. She posted on her Twitter page, "Too early barely slept on the flight with excitemnt, landed in HK now taking a Chopper to ...MACAU :) yippppppeeeee!! Finally nw I know;)"
Meanwhile, the actress re-lived her good old filmi days during the shooting of dance reality show 'Zara Nach Ke Dikha' when the female participants paid tribute to her by performing on her songs.
"The girls performed on a medley of my songs for an act and in similar costumes that I wore in my songs... made me very nostalgic and brought back some beautiful memories that made me a tad bit emotional (don't know why) in a good way," she added.
Neha Dhupia:the leading lady in a new movie based on the dictator’s life
Apparently the movie being made by director Rakesh Ranjan Kumar will show the last days of the dictator's life, and how his relationships with those close to him changed during that time.
There’s always been a lot of speculation about Hitler and Eva Braun’s relationship, and Neha is reportedly doing a lot of research into her character for the movie.
We think Anupam Kher might look like Hitler with the right make-up but Neha as Eva? We’ll be waiting to see how she does it
Why's Priyanka chopra feeling 'so unhealthy'?
Priyanka confessed on her Twitter page, "I've been on a put-on-some-serious-weight kinda diet for SKM..yuck!I feel so unhealthy! Now that the films almost over, I plan on hitting the gym with a vengeance.. And coming from me that's a feat in itself.. Cuz I hate gyms!! Aaaarrrggghh!!"

Sally Whittaker breaks down for first time as she tells of battle against cancer
She has kept a brave face for six months, but but Coronation Street star Sally Whittaker finally broke down in public today as she told of her battle against cancer.
The 46-year-old actress wept openly as she was asked about her condition during a charity event for the disease.
Mrs Whittaker – who plays the ITV soap’s Sally Webster - went back to work last week after revealing she had been diagnosed with breast cancer.
Tears: Coronation Street star Sally Whittaker - who was diagnosed with breast cancer six months ago - breaks down in public at a charity event today
Having lost most of her hair due to chemotherapy and radiotherapy, she braved the cameras and a wore wig similar to her character’s old style for scenes recorded this week.
But today, when quizzed by organisers at the Genesis Breast Cancer Prevention Appeal’s charity event in Manchester today, tears fell down Mrs Whittaker’s face.
An onlooker said: ‘Sally was talking about all the support she had from the hospital which treated her, the charity, fans of the show and fellow cast members and she just got overwhelmed in the emotion of it all.
Costars: Sally with Kym Marsh at the cancer charity event today
‘She was just thanking everyone for all their messages of support and she just got tears in her eyes and cried. It was very moving to hear her speak.
‘Given all Sally has been put through it seemed totally understandable she would have a good cry in public - and there wasn't a dry eye in the audience either.
'Not only has she had to fight cancer, she has talked publicly about it and then gone back to work with of course all the cast, fans and other wellwishers asking her about the illness and wishing her well.
Raising cash: Sally, Dr Chris Steele, centre, and Kym Marsh with other event participants today
‘Sally is a total trooper and has kept up a brave front for all this time and has been all smiles in public but it is inevitable that coping with such a serious illness whilst under such a huge spotlight, it will take it out of you.’
Mrs Whittaker was joined by costar Kym Marsh – who plays Michelle Connor in the soap – at the 'Keep Fit & Pink' event and 10k sponsored walk raise funds and awareness for the prevention of breast cancer.

The pair dressed in bright pink tutus for the event.
Mrs Whittaker has also admitted that the soap – in which her pushy developed the disease – could have saved her life.
It was because of her character's storyline that she had a lump that she had found on her breast checked out.
The early diagnosis means she has a good chance of recovery.
'If I had not been researching this storyline, I may not have discovered the lump in my breast and had it looked at so quickly,' she said.
'I had never properly checked my breast before because I thought this wasn't going to happen to me.'
Miss Whittaker confessed she had ignored a lump she had felt while on holiday earlier last year, but was inspired by her scenes to have it checked by on set nurse.
She explained: 'It's a stupid thing to think, but I think a lot of women are like that. Then one day, while filming the scenes about Sally having cancer, I had an hour off [and went to see the nurse].'
The nurse immediately booked her a hospital appointment and last November she was diagnosed with a 1.8cm grade 1 tumour.
MTV Movie Awards: Tom Cruise and Jennifer Lopez show 0ff their hip hop moves
But there was no holding Tom Cruise back as he performed a jaw-dropping hip hop routine with Jennifer Lopez at the MTV Movie Awards.
The actor reprised his role as Len Grossman, the fat, balding foul-mouthed Hollywood producer character he played in Tropic Thunder.
Shake it up: Jennifer Lopez and Tom Cruise, in character as Tropic Thunder's Len Grossman, performed a hilarious hip-hop routine at the MTV Movie Awards
Movie night: Cruise had earlier launched the ceremony under the guise of profanity-spewing Grossman
Bumping and grinding their way across the stage, the pair performed a highly synchronised set, full of cheoreographed moves.
At one point Lopez spanked a willing Cruise, but ticked him off when he attempted to return the favour.
The pair were cheered on by Cruise's wife Katie Holmes, who sat in the front row.
Hip hop style: The pair performed a highly synchronised routine
Bump and grind: Cruise shows he's got the moves during his energetic performance
The hilarious ended with Cruise making a valiant attempt at doing the splits, which he only half-completed.
Cruise had earlier launched the ceremony under the guise of profanity-spewing Grossman.
In the opening parody, Grossman cast Twilight stars Taylor Lautner and Robert Pattinson as mustached cops, used Michael Cera as a human bookend and yelled at The Karate Kid star Jaden Smith as father Will Smith looked on.
Funny moment: Cruise appeared more than happy to let Lopez spank him...
...But the singer pretended she wasn't impressed when he tried to repeat the move
Also taking to the stage at the star-packed show was Katy Perry, who performed a duet with Snoop Dogg.
Katy sang her song California Gurls, wearing an sparkly outfit apparently inspired by Wonder Woman.
Christina Aguilera performed a medley of three songs from her new album Bionic.
She shed the black fairytale gown she arrived in for a bodysuit and cape, with a unique accessory - a flashing LED heart between her legs.
They've got the moves: Cruise and Lopez had obviously both rehearsed their action packed routine
Down he goes: Cruise attempts the splits, but only gets half way down
Katy Perry acting was so atrocious it ruined the film': Russell Brand jokes
They say there is many a true word is spoken in jest.
But here's hoping that doesn't apply to Russell Brand's latest comments - for Katy Perry's sake.
The 35-year-old British comedian joked that her acting was so 'atrocious' that her scenes were cut from his new film, Get Him to the Greek.
The 35-year-old British comedian is the star of the new movie but - in an interview with American Idol host Ryan Seacrest - he says that Perry's cameo role ended up on the cutting room floor because of her poor performance.
He's a joker: Russell Brand, pictured here celebrating his birthday in LA on Friday, called Katy Perry's acting 'atrocious'
In an appearance on the KIIS FM breakfast radio show, Brand said: 'We cut it out Ryan because her acting was so atrocious that it ruined the film. It ruined it.
'It just made the film boring and rubbish.'
Perry, who starred as herself, filmed the part back in September before she officially started dating Brand.
He has previously said the love-scene between the pair has been dropped because it was 'too cheesy'.
When asked if his wife-to-be would be listening to him while he made his comments, the comedian joked: "I kick her out of bed.
Rocking out: In Get Him to the Greek - the sequel to Brand's hit Forgetting Sarah Marshall - he reprises his role as Aldous Snow
'I don't let her sleep in the bed with me. She's too much trouble.'
Brand also laughed at Perry's recent description of him.
In a recent interview on Seacrest's breakfast radio show she compared Brand to a host of well-known people, including serial killer Charles Manson.
Perry, 25, said: 'To me he's like Oscar Wilde meets Dudley Moore, meets Jim Morrison, meets a little Elvis Presley, meets Charles Manson.'
Laughing off the comparison Brand said: 'There's the girl I'm going to marry. She compares me to a serial killer.'
The star - who is probably one of the most talked about celebrities at the moment - also criticised fame.
Brand joked that he would force Get Him to the Greek producer Judd Apatow to attend his upcoming wedding.
When told that the writer, director and producer told Seacrest he wouldn't travel more than 8 miles to see Perry and Brand wed, the comedian said: 'If I have to drug Judd Apatow and kidnap him he will be at that wedding.
'I will take him hostage and force him to attend.'
Get Him to the Greek is out now in the US. It will be released in the UK on June 25.

Aimee Osbourne joins her famous family at Spike TV Guy's Choice Awards
Unlike her fame hungry siblings, Aimee Osbourne has chosen to stay out of the limelight.
The 26-year-old refused to appear in the MTV reality show The Osbournes which made her family famous, moving out of their house and insisting the cameras stop rolling on her visits.
So it came as a surprise to see her join her parents Sharon and Ozzy, brother Jack and sister Kelly at Spike TV Guy's Choice awards in Los Angeles yesterday.
Rare family portrait: Aimee, right joined Jack, Ozzy, Kelly and Sharon at Spike TV's 4th Annual Guys Choice Awards at Sony Studios in Los Angeles
Aimee, who lives in London and works as a singer, actress and columnist, joined the clan to watch her father pick up an award for Outstanding Literary Achievement.
Ozzy was handed his gong by presenter Sir Ben Kingsley, and appeared delighted as he celebrated on stage.
But while brown-haired Aimee was happy to by photographed alongside her famous family as they ate dinner, she skipped the red carpet.
Instead Jack and Kell posed together, while Ozzy joined Sharon for a photo.
Loving the spotlight: Aimee's siblings Jack and Kelly are happy with their fame, while her parents also embrace the limelight
Although appearing on The Osbournes has helped her family carve careers in the media - winning Sharon a coveted place as a judge on the X Factor - Aimee does not appear to regret her decision.
She once described MTV as making a 'laughing stock' of her father, although she has appeared in subsequent documentaries about her family, including Sharon's interview with Piers Morgan.
Sharon said of her: 'My eldest daughter, Aimee, is very private and doesn't want anything to do with the world of celebrity - who can blame her?
'She elected not to appear in The Osbournes and my only regret about doing the show is that it meant I spent less time with her while we were filming it.'
Proud occasion: Ozzy accepts his award for outstanding literary achievement from presenter Sir Ben Kingsley
The show ran on MTV from 2002 to 2005 and was filmed with 24 cameras around the family's Los Angeles home.
Ozzy wrote a song about his daughter, simply entitled Aimee.
He also has three older children from his first marriage to Thelma Riley.
Kim Kardashian walks tall in a pair of very kinky heels
A 5ft 3in, Kim Kardashian is always eager to get a boost in the height department.
And, boy, did she get it as she stepped out in LA yesterday wearing a pair of impossibly high stilettos.
The reality TV star walked tall as she modelled the six-inch kinky heels, which featured black leather straps and silver detailing.

Kinky heels: The footwear featured leather straps and silver detailing
She teamed the fancy footwear with a stylish - and of course, figure-hugging - beige dress that zipped right down the front.
Kim was out in Santa Monica to sign copies of Shape magazine, which features her on the cover this month.
In the publication, the 29-year-old opens up about how she once hated her big bust, which began to grow at the age of 10.
'I remember crying in the bathtub,' she told the magazine.
'I took a washcloth, made it hot, put it over my chest and prayed, "Please don't let them grow any bigger. They're embarrassing me."
'I was the first girl in my class to wear a bra.'

'All my friends were superskinny, and that just wasn't my body type,' she continued. 'But I watched my mom, who was always comfortable with herself, and she helped me with my outlook.'
While she's much more comfortable in her own skin now, there's still one thing she isn't thrilled about - her cellulite.
'I have cellulite, just like almost every other woman on the planet,' she says.
'And just because I feel secure with my body doesn't mean I think cellulite is cute! So let's just say it's a work in progress.'
Gwen Stefani takes her little superman Kingston to a birthday party
He may be only four years old, but Kingston Rossdale is already living the Hollywood lifestyle.
The youngster was spotted excitedly arriving for yet another party yesterday, dressed as his favourite superhero - Superman.
Kingston, who often dresses up in the blue and red outfit, carried a large wrapped gift for his friend and was accompanied by his pop star mother Gwen Stefani.
Superboy: Gwen Stefani and her son Kingston Rossdale head to a friend's birthday party in Los Angeles
But however good the bash, it's unlikely to live up to Kingston's own extravagant celebrations.
Just last week Kingston and 100 guests celebrated his fourth birthday in a weekend long celebration.
A source told Us magazine the fete style event cost his famous parents $15,000.
Wait for me! Zuma follows in his big brother's footsteps
It even attracted the Beckhams and their three sons and actress Kate Beckinsale.
Kingston's friends filled up on burgers, hot dogs, chicken fingers, tacos, quesadillas, and french fries.
They could also eat their fill of birthday cake, or visit the candy floss and lemonade stands.
And with a bouncy castle, face painter, balloon artist, and full sized super hero characters to entertain them, the youngsters had a wonderful time.
I'll carry it: Kingston takes charge of the present as the family arrive for the partyy
Yesterday Kingston, whose father is Bush rocker Gavin Rossdale, was joined by his brother Zuma.
The 22-month-old padded along in his big brother's footsteps, trying to keep up.
Last year, Gwen, 40, said Kingston's terrible twos were a challenge.
'Kingston's whole thing is, "I need, I need." He is insane right now. We're just hoping for the best and that he's not going to turn out to be a freak.'
