Lindsay Lohan Busted AGAIN!

BEVERLY HILLS, California — Troubled starlet Lindsay Lohan was busted early Tuesday for possession of cocaine, driving under the influence, transporting a narcotic into a custodial facility and driving on a suspended license -- her second substance-related arrest in a matter of months, TMZ.com reported.

Lohan's blood alcohol level was between .12 and .13, well over the .08 legal limit, and cocaine was found in her pants pocket, cops told TMZ.com.

The 21-year-old actress’ arrest happened about 2:15 a.m. in Santa Monica, Calif., near Pico Boulevard and Main Street, according to TMZ.com.

Lohan checked out of a Malibu rehab center on July 13, after a stay of more than six weeks. She has been wearing an alcohol-monitoring ankle bracelet, going to Alcoholics Anonymous meetings and receiving therapy ever since.

The "Mean Girls" star, who turned 21 on July 2, checked into the swank facility after a wild Memorial Day weekend during which she crashed her Mercedes Benz into a curb, was arrested on suspicion of driving under the influence and was photographed slumped in the passenger seat of a friend's car.

Just last Thursday, Lohan turned herself in to police to be booked on suspicion of driving under the influence during the Memorial Day weekend car crash, police said.

Accompanied by her attorney, Lohan surrendered herself at the Beverly Hills Police Department to be fingerprinted and photographed, said Officer Brian Ballieweg.

She was booked on suspicion of a DUI with a blood alcohol level above .08, California's legal limit, and on suspicion of misdemeanor hit and run, Ballieweg said.

After the Memorial Day incident, police said she had been arrested for investigation of driving under the influence, though she wasn't formally booked on the allegation until Thursday.

The actress was released on her own recognizance. A court date was scheduled for August 24.

Lohan said in January she had checked into a rehabilitation center for substance abuse treatment.

Earlier this month, Lohan's publicist Leslie Sloane Zelnik said the star was "doing great."

"Lindsay is working hard on her sobriety and we are all supporting her," she said.

METRO RELAUNCHES TOXXXIC LINE WITH NEW PACKAGING

CHATSWORTH, Calif. -

Metro Interactive has set a July 13 street date for Slime Ballin', a 2-disc collector's edition DVD that marks the return of gonzo imprint Toxxxic Entertainment following a two-year hiatus.

Touting the new release as "the raunchiest and most visually interesting production from Toxxxic to date," Metro spared no expense to create a graphically striking DVD package.

"We wanted to come up with a package that would correlate to some of the things that make this movie different," said Christian Mann, Metro's VP of Sales & Marketing. "Knowing it was filled with heavy-duty raunch, as is the hallmark of Toxxxic Entertainment, our artists were charged with making a package that would showcase the scope of the production. There was no way to display all the images

on a traditional DVD insert sleeve. Since the word Toxxxic is evocative of something radioactive, and we had this incredible black-light scene, the decision to go with a six color neon design package was an obvious one. While we were at it we went all the way and embossed it to give the consumer a great-looking, great-feeling package - something worthy of the contents."

Director Vincent Voss described Slime Ballin' as "a sexually charged acid trip."

"Most people when it comes to gonzo want to light it like a hospital operating room," Voss told AVN. "This movie is a very high-intensity, stylized vignette production that is splashed with a lot of color. The sex is very hard, but people that have seen the trailer on AVN have told me that it's the black lights, the color and the creepiness that put it over the top."

In keeping with the movie's trippy, atmospheric visual style, Metro is promoting the re-launch of Toxxxic with a black light poster campaign. Mann told AVN that the company plans several deluxe edition DVD release in the future with a similar approach.

Slime Ballin' stars Daisy Marie, Kaiya Lynn, Carmel Moore, Lela Star, Nikki Benz, Sativa Rose, Tiffany Sweet, Austin Kincaid, Ben English, Mick Blue, Steve Holmes, Marco Banderas and Scott Nails.

Each copy of Slime Ballin' includes a bonus disc with a surprise full-length Toxxxic feature. Shot in widescreen hi-def, the disc includes behind the scenes vignettes, trailers and instant pop-shot access menu options.
