Instead of saying ADD A COMMENT at the top of this box. It should say add a COMMERCIAL.

Really - she's famous for a couple of videos in the 80's - and she was very violent when her rocker husband wanted a divorce. Has - been.

Everyone has their issues and baggage. Rockers and the people who love them tend to be outside the box and alcohol and drugs are part of the scene and become obstacles and challenges. This is a lifestyle problem and I feel bad for her. I think the good thing is that nobody was killed in the DUI. Maybe the humiliation will help her to clean her act up.

For a while she emceed one of those funny video shows and I liked her back then. She was very healthy and good at joking around candidly. it's a shame what drugs do you you when they get a grip. people think they can have a light dalliance with them, but it often doesn't work out that way.

she did a funny video show? when was that? thought i saw them all, but i guess not. from the looks of her, i didnt miss anything. didnt she used to be a beauty queen, too? married to John Schneider from Dukes of Hazzard? if that isnt her, who the heck am i thinking of?

Vicky asked about Tawny Kitaen's funny video show. it was called "America's Funniest People" and her co-host was Dave Coulier. She was drop-dead gorgeous then and was a good, comfortable, likable speaker. As for her not looking as good now - heck, back then I looked pretty good, too and to be honest, have gained many pounds and gotten wrinkles. Life happens. If you don't do anything about it and you're a celebrity, people say you look like cr*p. If you get cosmetic surgery, they say you look plastic. What I don't get is that these people making comments probably don't know her personally, yet seem delighted that she's off the wagon or doesn't look good in the photos. Some people like to pounce when others screw up, even if they don't know them. I wish her well and hope she can stop drinking. This stuff can grab you and not let go easily.

SHE LOOKS LIKE A GUY IN DRAG___AN UGLY GUY IN DRAG.

I think that's what happens when they go overboard with the plastic surgery in their eternal quest for youth. They all end up looking like guys in drag.

OH BOY 3 IN THE AFTERNOON, CAN WE SAY LIQUID LUNCH

I guess after playing with the special men in her life, Sam K., David Coverdale and Mr. Baseball hero she is had it with her own life. Things do come around for these "social climbing" women that sleep their way to financial security. She is a wild one and her past is just surfacing! Now she's back in the news maybe no the way she wanted but BAD press for her is not a stranger!

By upurs

Tawny seems to have turned into a skank.

You realize this article has nothing to do with politics. Do you just sit in your chair with your panties in a bunch waiting for any story that you can stretch into an anti obama campaign. This country is about being resilient so no matter what the economic situation we are in, you should be able to get through it.

I love how everyone acts so self righteous and starts to call her a has been and accusing her of sleeping with famous men to further her career in HOllywood. I bet none of you doing the bashing have lived a spotless, perfect life, have you? As for her dating famous guys, she was famous for a few movies before she married any one of them. Once you become famous for even one movie, it's hard to date a "regular" person anymore. They date other famous people because they understand what it's like and have money of their own. She had her own money and didn't need to "sleep" around to further her career, as someone implied. love how some act like know it alls about someone they never even met. stop being so holier than thou and vicious, people just love to knock others when they are down, does that make u feel better about your life? so sad.

I am so sick of people getting out on bail after drving dunk or high. They might not have a drivers license. They need to take all there cars in thir driveway. so they can't get in them to drive end of story. If a freind lets them use thir car then they can sit in jail too.

No kidding on the "guy in drag" comments

Before I read the article,I thought it was Carrot Top

Throw this pig in jail for a long time. We do not need her kind on our roads.

By Cindy Stauffer

You need to get some serious mental health help if you cannot comment on this story without dragging politics into it..........

By Bob

She is driving a serious off road vehicle. It must be form over substance (excuse the pun).
