I guess they’re not getting paid enough. Or, quite possibly, they’re victims of that Bush/Cheney/Halliburton/Rove oppression thing which apparently downs Hollywood actors while leaving mainstream America standing.
NEW YORK (CNN)—Actor Christian Slater was arrested in Manhattan early Tuesday after he sexually harassed a woman on the street, police said.
Slater, 35, was taken into custody in an Upper East Side neighborhood of Manhattan after police responded to a call from a woman who said she had been attacked while walking, said New York Police Sgt. Mary Doherty.
“Basically he grabbed a woman’s behind on the street,” said Doherty, adding Slater was “intoxicated at the time.”
Video showed Slater handcuffed and escorted by police into a squad car. “I didn’t do anything,” he said.
He has been charged with third degree sexual abuse and is being held at the 19th precinct in Manhattan. He is expected to be arraigned Tuesday morning.
Slater has had previous trouble with the law. In 1997 he was charged with three counts of assault and one count of battery after he assaulted a girlfriend while intoxicated. He served 59 days of a three-month sentence.

LOS ANGELES, California (CNN)—Oscar-winning director Oliver Stone was released from jail Saturday after his arrest on alcohol and drug charges the night before in Beverly Hills, police said.
Police at a checkpoint, set up for the Memorial Day weekend, pulled over Stone when he showed signs of intoxication, said Beverly Hills Police Sgt. John Edmundson.
When police searched Stone’s Mercedes, they said they found an illegal drug.
They declined to identify it.
Stone, 58, was arrested about 11:45 p.m. Friday on a misdemeanor charge of driving while intoxicated and on a drug possession charge, Edmundson said.
The director posted a $15,000 bond and was released around 6:30 a.m. Saturday.
Stone said nothing to reporters who were waiting outside the police department.
In 1999 the filmmaker was arrested on alcohol and drug charges and, as part of a plea bargain, agreed to enter a rehabilitation program.
