Steven Adler Arrested |
Steven's representatives tell an online tabloid that Adler was **NOT** under the influence of drugs at the time of his arrest. Adler � who was busted last July for possession of narcotics, being under the influence and for an outstanding warrant, and was ordered by the court to stay at the Pasadena Recovery Center � was arrested this past Monday because he hadn't finished his community service in the time frame given by the judge.
The representatives say Adler went to register as a drug offender � also court-ordered � on January 26, when cops acted on the arrest warrant stemming from the unfinished community service. He was charged with "being under the influence of a controlled substance" because that was the original charge from his July arrest.

Duff McKagan Moonlighting With Playboy |
OK, in truth, the married, father of two could probably swing an invite to Hef's crib anytime he wants (though we don't know how Mrs. McKagan would feel about that), but what the heck does he know about the world of big business?
Quite a lot, actually. After the original Guns N' Roses lineup splintered, McKagan moved back to Seattle and went to business school. He was just one semester shy of his Bachelor's Degree before Velvet Revolver started, but still, he learned plenty. [Not in the article but Duff reportedly also made a mint from investments in Starbucks and Microsoft]
