SPIN CYCLE

Can’t walk chalk line? Maybe it’s the Crocs!

— Spin Cycle presents another installment of “All the News That’s Fit to Razz” ...

Crocs co-founder George Boedecker was arrested in Boulder, Colo., last month after police responded to a call about a man passed out in a Porsche Panamera. Last week in court, he pleaded not guilty to driving under the influence.

We say he is, however, guilty of making hideous shoes.

Host Eva Longoria recently wore a record-setting 11 (!) outfits at the recent ALMA Awards, which stands for American Latino Media Arts.

Or, as Longoria apparently believes, it stands for Always Lavished in Most Attire.

Rocker Billie Joe Armstrong recently checked into a treatment facility for substance abuse after the iHeartRadio Music Festival in Las Vegas, where he trashed equipment, screamed at concert promoters and stormed offstage.

Here’s hoping the singer is feeling more Green Day and less Code Red Day soon.

Lady Gaga sparked controversy recently when she lit up a joint onstage in Amsterdam. In an unrelated story, the super-slim singer admitted in a radio interview she has gained 25 pounds. No, wait, perhaps they are related.

Gaga’s got the Mary Jane munchies.

Speaking of marijuana, Fiona Apple (remember her? She had that one song, um, “Criminal”) recently was arrested on her tour bus at a Texas border patrol stop and booked on charges of drug possession.

It was the first “hit” that singer has had in years.

As rumors of a Kanye West sex tape began to circulate (confirmed by a cease and desist letter from his attorney), a second tape reportedly has surfaced.

See, he and girlfriend Kim Kardashian do have plenty in common.

The Federal Communications Commission is looking into last Sunday night’s Sunday Night Football broadcast of the Baltimore Ravens vs. New England Patriots game. The Baltimore crowd, responding to a replacement referee’s call, erupted, into a chorus of “bull++++” - one that announcer Al Michaels called “the loudest manure chant I’ve ever heard.”

NBC, which didn’t cut the sound of the crowd, could find itself in, well, deep, well, you know.

In his new autobiography Total Recall, Arnold Schwarzenegger - who secretly fathered a child with his housekeeper - wrote he hopes he can reconcile with ex-wife Maria Shriver: “You can call this denial. But it’s the way my mind works.”

If she wants him, (insert Terminator voice here) he’ll be “baaaahck.”

Gwyneth Paltrow - not Duchess of Cambridge Kate Middleton - was recently named by People magazine as the World’s Best Dressed Woman.

Kate, whose topless vacation photos were leaked, will have to settle for World’s Best Undressed Woman.
