SPEED RACER

We're nearly two months into the third season of American Idol and we finally have our first arrest, folks! Yipee! Semifinalist Donnie Williams was arrested on suspicion of DUI early Monday morning. Cops pulled him over in Northern California after clocking his speed at 100 mph. Williams, 20, reportedly told the police he was heading home from a party celebrating his shot on Idol. After being arrested, he complained to them, "You're ruining my life!" The drama queen has since been cited and released.
