Rick Springfield Got Arrested Last Night

Last night in Malibu, Rick Springfield wish he had Jessie's Girl to bail his boozed up ass after he was arrested for handling his blue Corvette while being in a state of DRUNK. As drunk bitches everywhere slurred out their version of "One Reason (It's All I Need)" in the basement of a karaoke bar, Rick failed sobriety test after sobriety test. Lt. Chew of the LAPD tells Radar what went down.

"Springfield was stopped due to a traffic violation and was subjected to a sobriety test. He failed and was then arrested and taken to Malibu Sheriff's station where he tested for alcohol levels. He reportedly blew at .10 and then a .08."

Rick was charged and later released.

The LAPD says they put Rick in handcuffs for drunk driving, but I have a feeling they really brought him in for looking like a come-to-life van portrait of a female-to-male transsexual who works part-time as a Jesus/Teri Hatcher impersonator. Beauty like that must be captured by a mug shot camera.

Awww, this breaks my heart. Not my Rick!

i saw him in concert, and he came into the audience and stood next to me. I could tell he wanted me.

This isn't his first DUI is it?? Can't be bothered to google, so whatever.

I was never a major fan of his...

Is he wearing makeup in that photo?
I thought he was the shit back in the 80's.
Now - not so much.

How fun for you. Did you touch him even a little? I might have grabbed a butt cheek or something.

you're so cute!

I read an old article several months ago, in the doc's office, & it was so sad.. he talked about how he has struggled w/depression & all kinds of other horrible stuff. That he was so sad & how his wife had been there for him.

God, I'm going to have to use eye bleach to get that picture up there out of my head. I love him. He was my very first concert - Working Class Dog tour. I was 11.

Jessie's Girl will be stuck in my head all night now.

How can I find a woman like that? Shit. Yes, it is in my head also. He was kinda okay looking in the 80's in a mullet-y way.

He still looks pretty good imo.
