If you were to list all of the celebs that I thought would be arresteded for driving while under the influence of alcohol, I wouldn't think Ty Pennington would be on the list. Of course, that's a silly assumption, since anyone can drink and drive, but I guess I think of the Paris Hiltons and David Hasselhoffs of the world first. And unknown reality stars.

The Extreme Makeover host was arrested over the weekend and charged with driving under the influence of alcohol, and possibly drugs too. Pennington released a statement saying that he "made an error in judgement" and "I want to apologize to ABC and my fans..." Translation: "I've done this before and it sucks that I got caught" and "damn, I hope this doesn't screw up my ABC gig!"

Hopefully he doesn't build those houses in the same condition.

This should probably come as no surprise to anyone, but Sears is giving serious consideration to kicking Bob Vila to the curb after sixteen years and bringing in magniloquent hugmonster Ty Pennington. Chris, over at our pal Ad Jab, picked up on this tidbit. The company and its Craftsman tools are already heavily associated with Pennington's Extreme Makeover: Home Edition. However, Sears has not made any definite plans to sign Pennington on as a spokesman for their Craftsman line of tools. Speculation is that he may be a bit too "touchy-feely" for that particular product line.
