Letting loose: Pete Doherty is set to be released from jail Tuesday, after serving just 29 days of his 14-week sentence, despite having allegedly shot up in a prison Detox unit. His sentence was reduced in part due to a plan to ease jail overcrowding and make room for other celebrity recidivists.

Carpetbagged: Disney has pulled Miley Cyrus from her first scheduled public appearance since her almost-topless photo scandal. Miley was supposed to walk the red carpet today for the "Disney Channel Games," but she's been benched. She'll still perform at the games Saturday.

Secret rendezvous: Rumors are circulating the Mariah Carey and Nick Cannon have already wed in a secret island ceremony.

SURE, THERE'S MORE: Drunken birds, drug-dealing mommies, and the po-po on MySpace!

Just like the blokes: Arrests of drunken and disorderly women are up by more than 50 percent in parts of the UK. No word yet on how much Amy Winehouse has contributed to the increase.

Special friends: The Arlington County police department has created its own MySpace page in hopes that kids will "friend" them and thus discourage sexual predators.

Coming back: Showtime has renewed Tracy Ullman's State of the Union for a second season. Renée Zellwegger schedules extra therapy appointments.

Circle of litigation : Lindsay Lohan friend Samantha Ronson is suing the law firm she hired to sue Perez Hilton, claiming the legal eagles grossly overcharged her and screwed up her case against Hilton, which was dismissed.

What's your mom's deal?: An affluent suburban Southern Californian mom has been arrested after escaping from prison 32 years ago. Susan Lefevre was first arrested in 1975 on charges of dealing heroin and cocaine; she served one year of a 10 to 20 year sentence before running.
