Jason Wahler was arrested last night -- in the United States for a change -- for allegedly driving under the influence.
Newport Beach PD tells us Wahler was popped last night around 10:54 PM. He was driving a 2008 Chevy Tahoe and described himself to police as "an actor."
He was released this morning under his own recognizance.
As you may recall, Wahler was arrested in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico earlier this month after a bar fight.
Jason Wahler -- former star of "The Hills" and "Laguna Beach" -- has somehow made his way out of a Mexican jail, but for some reason the U.S. Consulate is keeping the reason for Jason's release a secret.
Wahler was cuffed in Cabo last Thursday and thrown in the pokey after getting in a fight. We couldn't find any record of Jason yesterday when we called various jails.
Today the Consulate told TMZ Jason was released seven hours after being locked up. As for why jailers let him out: Wahler signed a document keeping the terms of his release secret. We've never heard of that either.
Jason's dad tells TMZ as far as he knows no charges were filed against his son and he's back in L.A. His dad says Jason tells him he was not drinking and was actually released after one hour.
"Laguna Beach" pseudo-star Jason Wahler got a serious dose of reality Thursday night -- because dude was cuffed and thrown into the back of a pickup truck in Mexico after he allegedly got into a fight at a nightclub.
Sources tell TMZ it all went down at the Pink Kitty nightclub in Cabo San Lucas where Wahler allegedly got into a scuffle with someone inside the bar.
We're told security escorted Wahler outside after the alleged fight where cops manhandled him and tossed him into the back of a pickup truck.
The local police told us they didn't have anybody named Jason Wahler in their jail ... and so far no comments from his rep or lawyer ... so ... if you we never see him again, we know why.
Audrina Patridge had to pay nearly $400 to get her car out of the tow shop yesterday -- but when she told us her car was towed while she was in acting class ... well, that $400 seems well spent by comparison.
She's been acting on "The Hills" for all these years ... who needs more practice?
Heidi Montag 3.0 is still getting used to her new parts -- but she's already itching for an upgrade.
We got Heidi, her bosom buddies and Spencer Thursday night outside Dan Tana's, where it became clear she won't be done enhancing her chest until she can no longer stand upright.
The guy Audrina Patridge got a permanent restraining order against last year was arrested this morning after he allegedly showed up to her Los Angeles home.
Law enforcement sources tell TMZ someone inside Audrina's house called 911 after Zachary Loring allegedly started pounding on her front door and ringing the doorbell. We're told Audrina was home at the time of the incident.
Loring was in possession of a large knife when he was arrested, according to law enforcement sources.
We're told cops showed up to Audrina's place and arrested Loring -- who was booked for felony stalking and misdemeanor vandalism. Loring is in custody and being held on $160,000 bail.
Back in September, Audrina claimed Loring kept showing up to her house and giving her creepy poems and drawings -- including one of a woman being hanged.
The people behind "The Hills" are being sued for allegedly trashing the hell out of a rental home where they taped the show -- all because of a nasty war between Doug Reinhardt and his landlord.
It all began when Reinhardt -- Paris Hilton's boyfriend -- sued his landlord back in September, claiming the guy stiffed him out of $21k from a security deposit Doug put down on a Hollywood Hills home featured on the MTV reality show.
But now, the landlord is firing back claiming Reinhardt broke his contract when he let MTV shoot "The Hills" inside the home without permission. The landlord also claims Reinhardt and MTV caused "substantial physical and other damage" to the home when taping the show.
The landlord is going after Doug, MTV and Viacom for damaging the home and invading his privacy -- plus he's accusing MTV of trespassing. He's asking for unspecified damages and attorney's fees.
Doug's rep tells us he has photographic evidence proving he didn't trash the house ... and there was "no prohibitions to filming" in his contract. The rep said the lawsuit was filed without merit.
Kristin Cavallari wasn't hunting for nose candy in Miami earlier this month ... at least according to Kristin Cavallari.
Though US Weekly claims the MTV star was "going around to everyone, asking them to score her some coke" during Super Bowl weekend, KC laughed at the rumors yesterday in L.A. saying they're false and she knows who started them.
Avril Lavigne got nice and cozy in the backseat of a car last night -- Brody Jenner's car.
She's still not officially divorced from hubby Deryck Whibley, but it seems Avril is already on the rebound -- 'cause let's get serious ... does anyone really think Brody's in it for the "friendship?!"
Caulked, spackled and freshly reupholstered "Hills" star Heidi Montag showed off her brand new swollen and bendable parts while practicing yoga poses in some sort of grassy field in L.A. this weekend.
