Osment Charged With Drunk Driving and Drug Possession
Former child star Haley Joel Osment has been charged with drunk driving and marijuana possession following his car crash in Los Angeles last month. The Sixth Sense star, 18, was formally charged with the misdemeanors yesterday in Los Angeles. According to website Tmz.com, the teenager has also been charged with driving with a .08 blood alcohol level or higher and the infraction of driving under the age of 21 with a blood alcohol level of .05 or higher. The charges relate to his car crash last month, after Osment lost control of his Saturn and collided with a brick pillar in a Hollywood suburb. The young actor was treated for a broken rib and a shoulder injury at a nearby hospital.
I just hate hearing this.
Aww that makes me sad, that kid was so cute.
i heard he "paid it forward" and that's what led to mel gibson's drunk driving incident a week later...

I hope this won't affect his chances of playing Toby in the upcoming feature film adaptation of Stephen Sondhei's Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street.

K, do I have a chance now that Haley is out of the running? I can hit the notes and I am only 24!

Nuh-uh! Wow, I really did not expect that to happen to little Haley Joel. It's kind of depressing.

Actually at 24 I was rather immature!

Did Haley have anything to say about religion when he was arrested?

No, but sources close to the investigation say he mentioned underage ta-tas.

He drove a Saturn? I give him credit for not being ostentatious.

Wasn't it when he said "ta da" that they arrested him?

Why should this have anything to do with whether or not he gets a job in a film? Robert Downey, Jr seems to be working a lot and he was caught with drugs again and again.
The good news for this kid is that he is alive and that he didn't hurt any innocent bystanders. Also, he is young and this should scare him away from drinking and smoking pot then getting behind the wheel. Next time he should take a cab.
I read that and my reaction was "Haley Joel Osment! You stupid dumbass!" I hope this knocked a little sense into him...
I read about this on omgblog.com and thought it was really weird.
I mean, seriously, is he still reliving his "I see dead people" days?

They should all live in NYC so they don't have cars.

I saw this on Yahoo yesterday and was shocked. I just bought Pay it Forward on DVD and can't believe what's become of him.
