Mariah Carey hasn't announced the names of her new babies yet, but she tweeted that their names both start with "M"...

Ricardo Chavira, the guy who plays Carlos, Eva Longoria's husband on "Desperate Housewives" was arrested for DUI early Tuesday morning in Los Angeles. Chavira was pulled over for a routine traffic stop at around 2 in the morning. Cops allegedly smelled alcohol on his breath and was given a field sobriety test...which evidently didn't go well because he was taken to a nearby jail and booked.

Andy Dick was arrested at a restaurant in Temecula, CA Monday night after cops say he was acting disorderly. The former "Celebrity Rehab" star was taken to a nearby jail ... where he was booked at 9:48pm. Bail was set at $500.

Comedy Central is re-running two episodes of "South Park" that featured Osama bin Laden. "Osama Bin Laden Has Farty Pants" will air at 9pm and will be followed by "It's a Jersey Thing" followed by a new episode at 10pm. "Osama Bin Laden Has Farty Pants" aired two months after 9/11 and depicted him as a villain who was about as competent as Elmer Fudd. In "It's a Jersey Thing," a desperate Randy Marsh asks Al Qaeda for help in repelling an advancing guido-guidette
horde.

Saturday Night Live comedianne and actress, Kristen Wiig, says she is retiring two of her recurring characters.    Say goodbye to Penelope the one-upper and Gilly the mischievous schoolgirl. Wiig says she won't be bringing these characters out of the trunk any time soon, even if Loren Michaels asks her too.   With those characters gone, however, it may mean that we could see more of Judy
"just kidding" Grimes, the deformed, squirrel-eating sister from "The Lawrence Welk Show" or the long time missing Target Lady.

I can't believe that Lindsey Lohan has been able do it again!  It looks like that despite her 120 sentence, she may be able to avoid jail entirely and more than likely will be able to serve her time at home, wearing an electronic monitoring device. TMZ is reporting that the L.A. County Probation Dept. also likes the idea.  Judge Stephanie Sautner has made it clear -- Lindsay will be
treated just like any other defendant, and people in Lindsay's shoes simply don't get put behind bars.

Charlie Sheen talked about how his once fiancee, Kelly Preston shot herself. The actor was in Vancover, Monday night and says he always knew he would be blamed for the 1990 incident and told his side of the story.  Sheen says he was downstairs having coffee when he heard the shot. Sheen says he then saw Kelly at the top of the stairs, covered in blood. Charlie explained Kelly had picked up a pair of his pants in the bathroom -- when a revolver that was  hidden in his pocket fell to the ground and discharged. Sheen claims the bullet hit the toilet and a piece of porcelain from the toilet ricocheted and struck her. Kelly and Charlie broke off their engagement shortly after the incident.

A man accused of stalking tennis star, Serena Williams, was arrested Tuesday morning in Florida. According to the police report, 40-year-old Patenema Ouedraogo was accused of trespassing onto her property and trying to get in touch with her several times. He even tracked Williams across the country from L.A. to Florida with clues from Serena's Twitter account. When Patenema was arrested, cops found a letter he wrote to Tyrese Gibson, saying, "If by any means you can help or arrange any meeting with my dream soul mate, I'd like to confess to you that Serena Williams is the one I would do anything to meet and let her know." Patenema is still in custody.

"60 Minutes" reporter, Scott Pelley, has been named anchor and managing editor of the "CBS Evening News"  replacing Katie Couric. The appointment is effective on June 6th. Pelley will continue to report stories for "60 Minutes."

We heard that Lorenzo Lamas got married again recently, but one thing we just found out is that Lamas is taking his new wife's last name! Lorenzo wants "to start over fresh" from all his previous marriages and divorces (four of 'em) ... and desperately wants a change.  He'll now be known as Lorenzo Craig.

President Obama will sit down this afternoon with "60 Minutes" correspondent Steve Kroft for his first and only interview since the killing of terrorist leader Osama bin Laden. The interview, conducted in the White House, will be broadcast on "60 Minutes" this Sunday, May 8th.

Discovery Channel will air an hourlong documentary focusing on the killing of Osama bin Laden on May 15th. The Bin Laden Dead special will feature "an intimate, second-by-second account" by local reporters and cameras on the ground in  Abbottabad, Pakistan, and examine the black ops mission that resulted in the terrorist leader's death.

CMT is preparing a live, two-hour concert special to benefit tornado relief efforts to air on the network on Thursday, May 12th.  Proceeds from the concert special will benefit the American Red Cross Disaster relief effort.  Performers will be named soon.

Jennifer Love Hewitt and her boyfriend of about a year, actor-director Alex Beh, have split. While it's just becoming public, they went their separate ways about a month ago. The cause of the breakup is unknown.
