GLENDALE, Calif. - Actor Haley Joel Osment has been charged with drunk driving after getting into an accident last month.

Osment, who’s 18, fractured a rib and hurt his shoulder in a car crash outside Los Angeles on July 20th.

Osment has been charged with driving under the influence and with underage drinking. Authorities say his blood alcohol content was point-oh-five.

He’s scheduled to be arraigned September 19th, and he will surrender for booking at a later date.

If convicted, Osment faces up to six months in county jail. Osment’s credits include “The Sixth Sense” and “Forest Gump.”

.05? That's not even legally under the influence. However, I think it is considered DUI if the offender is under the legal drinking age. Depending on size and other physical factors, 1 single beer could cause a .05. I don't think Osmet was "drunk" driving. However, considering that he was in an accident (which could've happened to anyone sober), and blew a .05 (signifying that he'd been drinking) *and* that he was under the legal drinking age, that's while he's charged with DUI.

Well, call me crazy but I think that if it were some other celebrity -- say Tara Reid -- it'd be something else. But HALEY JOEL OSMONT?! WOW ? HELL no. That boy never showed signs of such destructive behavior. If anything, he was always thought to be the 'dorkiest, nerdiest, levelheaded' kid out there. Again, I'm shocked and dismayed by these disgusting developments. This kid, truly, is a shame to Tinseltown. Pity, too; I just knew he'd be the one to revive faith in the child stars. But all is lost now.

I am SO effing pissed about this!!! YOU RUINED IT, Haley Joel! You ruined it for EVERYBODY!!! <_<

Thats what I'm saying. He is no different than the rest of us so why put him above and beyond everyone else? He is allowed to make mistakes. Just because he is in the public eye doesn't make him imortal or some a god that can do no wrong. He is a kid who was [!@#$%^&*] around and got caught. Happens to the best of us.

    • Hooray we made the exact same critique to Londonscribe!!!!!
    • I don't think they had any idea who he was this time last year. I think they were keeping their options very open. Same with totally dropping the Trina romance that was spoiled for him in the mags once FV clearly took a shine to him. Frank's priorities are bright and blazing in one color. I do think Gio and Emma seem to have worked out given that she is very dry and sarcastic and he is like a hot golden retriever, but I'd still play the field or explore quads with both with very different people - Emma with a scheming young man (of color), Gio with possibly Trina or someone else, or even a boy. Then maybe put them back together, who knows. But of course none that will happen.

    • He definitely got lost in the shuffle last year. First, they were implying that he was Drew’s son, then he was nothing more than just Violet’s bff

      And then they changed him to being Dante and Brook Lynn’s son, which was clunky at first but I’m enjoying the storyline now. 
    • GM is adorable, charming and fun onscreen despite months of nothing to do until recently, and has a bodacious bod. I'm not cosigning the show or this story - I haven't watched a full episode in over a month - but I think we're all taking the small victories in 2025 at this point. I'm open to testing this theory!
    • I think Jason might've posted some numbers for the syndication a while ago and the numbers for Falcon Crest was horrible. Like 1.5 rating or something, which was terrible.    ETA: it was actually Paul Raven:   New to syndication 60 min Fall Guy 67 markets 3.1/8 Falcon Crest 110 markets 1.1/5 To get into the top 40, you needed a 4.6/9 rating for reference - and Falcon Crest managed to get into a lot of markets to begin with. In the fall of 1985 Dynasty, Dallas and Knots were syndicated (show / rating / share / coverage % / markets): Dallas 3.4 10 51.7 92 Dynasty 3.4 10 48.7 47  Knots Landing 3.3 10 12.5 20  So, Knots as an example trippled Falcon Crest's rating with 20 markets - I'm sure those were major ones but it just goes to show you how much Falcon Crest bombed in syndication. 
    • It's not bad but the stories move too slow. It's the same problem when Dan O'Connor was CO-HW with Van Etten, they have a million stories and they all drag on endlessly with no resolution. I'd argue the majority of the stories airing now are good but you get sick of waiting months for something to happen.
    • Thanks. I must have missed that period entirely for Lifetime.
