The good times keep a-rollin' in Louisiana for the Stray Cat Gang — including Josh Brolin, Jeffrey Wright and a smattering of crew members arrested at Saturday's W wrap party in Shreveport. New reports allege Wright fielded at least one ethnic slur from an onlooker after being escorted out of the Stray Cat with unruly lighting technician Eric Felland. Brolin and company went down a little later when coming to Wright's aid — i.e. "interfering with that arrest," according to Shreveport police Cpl. Robert Elliott. Furthermore, "a rep for Brolin ... didn't say what the rehabbed actor was drinking," according to Rush and Molloy. Next up for the group: An encore on Dec. 2, when all are due back in court. Meanwhile, chalk up another incentive for filmmaking in Louisiana — the only state where you can cast, scout and produce an entire movie faster than the legal system can prosecute its stars. [NYDN]

If we had just produced an entire feature film in about 12 days like the gang behind Oliver Stone's W, then we, too, would probably have been in a bit of hell-raising mood when it was all said and done. We're not sure if getting arrested would have been on the agenda, but we'll grant newly shorn Josh Brolin and Jeffrey Wright the benefit of the doubt, anyway: The duo, who play President Bush and Colin Powell in the film, spent some time in custody early Saturday after coming to the aid of a rowdy crew member at a bar in Shreveport, La.

Haha. Known annoyance and suspected gay Fabian Basabe was arrested in Los Angeles on Wednesday night. For peeing. The sometimes Paper magazine blogger was allegedly going wee behind a trendytit club when some nasty old coppers (to whom he was "verbally abusive") showed up and didn't approve. Basabe, who, conveniently, had a warrant out for a previous DUI, was released on $85,000 bail. His lawyer blames a "bladder problem." Which just goes to show you that people would rather be the public face of pissing-pants disease than face John Law. Good luck with your demons, Fabian. [P6]

Today's beneficiary of grudging Defamer support is David Grant, the former head of Fox Television Studios and plaintiff in a new breach-of-contract lawsuit filed against his former employer. Grant alleges that Fox still owes him a bonus and more from his tenure, which ended in 2004; the amount of the bonus is in question, but thanks to a read-through of Grant's perversely fascinating contract, we now have grounds for our bitter jealousy in writing:

As if being the "Emmy-winning producer" responsible for Earthquake in New York and Total Recall 2070 wasn't enough cosmic punishment for a lifetime, mover and shaker Drew Levin now faces prison for charges he inflated his publicly traded company's value in a stock fraud scheme. And despite a corporate bio clean enough to serve a last meal off of, the president of Team Communications was indicted Wednesday on 13 counts that could send him away for 200 years:

Worst actress in the world and drunk driver Lindsay Lohan was sentenced to spend two four-hour days working in a Los Angeles morgue to knock some sense into her re: driving while completely blitzed. (Also, remember when she slept with three dudes on New Years Eve? That was funny.) As the Times notes, " She has already served 84 minutes in jail as part of the plea deal." No word yet on what LiLo will be doing with the stiffs but lets just hope she's never seen Clerks II. Ooo, that was in awful taste! If the Los Angeles legal system worked under the Dantean system of contrapasso, the felonious Lohan would be condemned to sit through a loop of her ouevre. 8 hours of that is enough to drive anyone from drink!

On her Christmas show, Martha Stewart produced the ceramic Nativity Scene she crafted while she was in prison. The other inmates had to pick just one figure a month to fire 'n' glaze—but MarStew did the whole thing in her five month on the inside. It's cute at the end, she asks her mother in the audience if she likes it and you can tell Martha Sr. is just thinking, "Bitch, are you really asking me if I'm proud of the damned brown clay figures you made while you were in jail?" But actually? They're pretty impressive!
