BEVERLY HILLS, Calif. -- Police say reality TV star Nicole Richie has been hurt in a traffic accident in Beverly Hills.
Beverly Hills police Lt. Mike Hill says the 28-year-old Richie was driving a Land Rover on Wilshire Blvd. on Monday when she was rear-ended by a photographer who was driving without a license.
Hill says Richie complained of pain but said she would seek her own treatment and no ambulance was called.
He also says the 29-year-old photographer, Edwardo Arrivebene, was arrested on suspicion of driving without a license.
Hill did not know if there were any passengers in either vehicle.
Richie became a clothing and accessories designer after starring with Paris Hilton on "The Simple Life."
Rapper Method Man charged with not paying taxes
NEW YORK -- Grammy-winning rapper Method Man has been arrested in New York City on felony charges for failing to pay his taxes.
The 38-year-old rapper turned himself in Monday. Authorities say he failed to pay nearly $33,000 in taxes.
He is being charged with repeated failure to file a return and failure to pay taxes.
Method Man, whose real name is Clifford Smith, could face up to four years in prison.
He won a Grammy in 1995 for best rap performance by a group or duo with Mary J. Blige for "I'll Be There For You/You're All That I Need."
Letterman apologizes to wife on Monday's show
NEW YORK -- David Letterman apologized to his wife on Monday's "Late Show," saying she had been "horribly hurt by my behavior."
The late-night host vowed to repair his relationship with his wife, Regina Lasko.
"Let me tell you folks, I got my work cut out for me," said Letterman, according to an early transcript of the program released by CBS.
Monday's show was the first Letterman taped since Thursday, when he disclosed that he had had sexual relationships with women who worked for him, and that he had been the victim of an alleged $2 million blackmail threat.
Letterman also apologized to his staff for the situation.
"Inadvertently, I just wasn't thinking ahead," Letterman said. "My thanks to the staff for, once again, putting up with something stupid I've gotten myself involved in."
Audience members who attended the taping Monday at the Ed Sullivan Theater said Letterman spoke frequently throughout the program about the events. He also joked about the situation with guests Steve Martin and Martin Short.
"He's not running away from it," said Brian Lakari, from Green Bay, Wis., who attended the taping with his wife, Kelly. "He brought it into the show several times."
Lakari said Letterman started his monologue with the subject, and even worked in an apology to "the previous governor of Alaska." He was referring to Sarah Palin, with whom Letterman had a flap earlier in the year over a joke about her daughters.
It is unclear how many women Letterman had sex with.
