The Associated Press reports Randy Quaid and wife Evi are facing burglary charges after they were reported living in the guest house of their old home illegally. The property owner informed the Santa Barbara County sheriff’s deputy Saturday, and when officials arrived at the home, the Quaids claimed they had owned the residence for nearly 20 years. When the owner, however, showed police records that indicated a client had purchased the home in Santa Barbara, Calif., three years ago, and that the Quaids were responsible for more than $5,000 in damage in the guest home, authorities arrested the couple for felony residential burglary and entering a non-commercial building without consent.

Randy Quaid’s lawyer said the following to EW: “This was a civil matter being handled by Mr. and Ms. Quaid’s civil lawyers in Los Angeles…We will address the issues in court if a criminal case is filed.”

This is their second run-in with the law in the past year — the Quaids were on the run from authorities last September when they were charged with not paying a $10,000+ bill at the San Ysidro Ranch in Montecito, Calif.

The New York Times reports Top Gun actress Kelly McGillis and girlfriend Melanie Leis were joined in a civil union Wednesday. The ceremony for the couple — who met in 2000 in Key West, Fla., while McGillis was still married to ex-husband Fred Tillman — took place at the Collingswood Municipal Court in New Jersey.

Lindsay Lohan has admitted that she failed her court-ordered drug test via her Twitter page. One day after reports surfaced that she had tested positive for drugs, the actress tweeted a string of admissions, starting with, “Regrettably, I did in fact fail my most recent drug test and if I am asked, I am prepared to appear before judge [Elden] Fox next wee as a result.” (Elden had informed Lohan in late August that the actress could return to jail if she fails one of her post-rehab tests.) Lohan continued, “Substance abuse is a disease, which unfortunately doesn’t go away over night. I am working hard to overcome it and am taking positive steps.”

The actress also claims on her page that she’s continuing to test “every day.” “This was certainly a setback for me but I am taking responsibility for my actions and I’m prepared to face the consequences,” she wrote. And after thanking her family for their support, she reached out to other well-wishers, “I am a work in progress, just as anyone else. I am keeping my faith, and I am hopeful…Thank you all!!!”

The Associated Press reports Paris Hilton has avoided jail time, thanks to a plea deal. The socialite will also avoid a felony conviction stemming from her drug-related arrest in Las Vegas on Aug. 28. Clark County District Attorney David Roger told the AP that Hilton will plead guilty in court Monday to two misdemeanors: drug possession and obstructing an officer. She will serve probation for one year, complete a drug abuse program and 200 hours of community service, and pay a $2,000 fine.

Hilton was arrested in the Wynn resort in August when police found 0.8 grams of cocaine in her purse. At the time, the reality star told police the purse and drugs were not hers.
