World Series MVP Put in Cop Van
Phillies pitcher Cole Hamels spent the afternoon in NYPD custody yesterday -- but fear not, it wasn't for a bad reason.
The World Series MVP hitched a ride in a police van on his way out of Letterman, complete with his own squad of officers watching his back.
Ya gotta figure that either some Rays fan is holding a grudge ... or that's just how Cole rolls.
Speed Racer in the Pits With Cops
His dad won the Indy 500 twice. He's a race car driver himself. But Arie Luyendyk Jr. isn't fit to drive in a 35 MPH zone in your neighborhood.
Luyendyk Jr., the 27-year-old son of Indy 500 winner Arie Luyendyk Sr., just got popped twice in Scottsdale, Ariz. within a six-day span ... once for driving on a suspended license, the second time for not having a valid registration.
We hear there's a APB out to arrest Luyendyk for Driving with Zac Efron hair.

Big John Daly Snookered at Hooters
According to the Winston-Salem police report, Daly passed out at a Hooters on Sunday. Medics tended to him but Daly refused to go to the hospital. Cops took him to the station for his own safety.
According to the report, first obtained by Fox Winston-Salem, "Officers placed him in custody for a 24 hour sober up."
The incident further proves Chris Rock's theory that no one goes to Hooters for wings.
DUI Bust -- "But I'm a Race Car Driver..."
Some chick named Ashley Van Dyke was busted on suspicion of DUI in Hollywood. Her fame status is considered "barely" at best -- but she tried to use it to get out of trouble anyway.
Cops nailed the former one-time SPEED TV host in West Hollywood late Monday night when she refused to cooperate with a deputy who was directing traffic. But after she was pulled over, sources say she felt the need to tell cops, "...but I'm a race car driver!"
Didn't matter -- 'cause we're told she failed the field sobriety test miserably and blew well over the legal BAC limit.
Eva: That OTHER Longoria is Screwed
Apparently a prerequisite for hanging out with Eva Longoria is to wear her name on your clothes.
Kiiiiidding. The shirt was actually for Tampa Bay Rays third baseman Evan Longoria -- who's been endlessly taunted with Mrs. Parker's name during the last three games of the World Series. And she knows it.

Dodger Pitcher Dodges Punches at Key Club
For a guy who's had to ride the pine for shoulder injuries, getting into a street brawl outside an L.A. club might not be the best idea for LA Dodgers pitcher Brad Penny.
While the Phillies played part of a World Series Game in Philadelphia, a fight broke out between Penny's buds and a couple other people outside the Key Club in Hollywood last night -- we're told it started over a girl. In the video, it looks like Penny is trying to mediate and stop more hits from being thrown.
BTW, that right hand is worth around $9 mil.

Isiah's Son Still Throwing Sis Under Bus
Exhibiting much the same public-relations skills as his father did during his tenure as NY Knicks prez, Isiah Thomas' son continued to slam reports his dad OD'd on sleeping pills, blaming a 911 Friday morning on his sister.
Joshua Thomas tells the NY Daily News his dad is going back to work for the Knicks today and again denied his father was hospitalized after taking too many prescription sleeping pills. Joshua said it was his 17-year-old sister's hypoglycemia which triggered the phone call.
This despite multiple law enforcement sources insisting it was Isiah and not his daughter who was found on the floor at his home.
Goalie Eats It on Palin's Rug
There's at least one hockey mom that isn't a fan of Sarah Palin's anymore -- the mother of St. Louis Blues' goalie Manny Legace.
Sarah Palin dropped another ceremonial puck last night, this time before a Blues and Kings game. Legace ended up busting his butt on the rug they laid out for Palin as he entered the ice -- and ended up leaving the game after the first period due to a strained left hip flexor.
What a waste of padding.

Police Sent to Isiah's House After Possible OD
An ambulance was sent early this morning to the home of ex New York Knicks president Isiah Thomas after an apparent accidental overdose of prescription sleeping pills.
Law enforcement sources tell TMZ Thomas was taken to White Plains Hospital and is still there right now. His condition is unknown, but he is alive. The Daily News says he took 10 prescription sleeping pills.
A spokesman for Madison Square Garden says Thomas is "fine."
UPDATE, 4:54 PM: The Harrison Chief of Police tells TMZ when officers arrived on scene they found a "46-year-old male" on the floor around midnight last night breathing on his own, and they administered oxygen to him.
Chief Hall actually laughed when we asked him why Isiah would tell the New York Post it was his daughter who was the victim, not him. "Well if that's what he wants to tell you guys," he said.
