Michelle RodriguezMichelle Rodriguez holds everyone but herself responsible for her drunk driving convictions. The Lost star, who was convicted of the offense in 2004 and 2005, expressed her disgust at driving regulations and the restrictions she faces on her personal blog.

She wrote: "At 15 miles an hour, never killed a pot head. We get stopped driving 15 miles an hour down a 35-40 mph road. I cry, this sucks ass. I hire some lawyer from Hawaii, lose my 28 acres of land and my home in Jersey paying him off, just so I can get the same treatment I would have gotten from a public defender."

Michelle was fined, imprisoned and ordered to carry out community service and attend rehabilitation after being found guilty of driving under the influence of alcohol. The Fast and the Furious actress went on to describe the strict rules of rehab.

She added: "I realized my payday in movies was way better than TV at that moment. I get bitch-slapped by Uncle Sam again in Hollywood. I get a sentence to wear a bracelet for three months to detect liquor content in your sweat.

"The second day the guy calls me and says you've got an alcohol reading. I was like, I haven't had any liquor. He's like, well you can't use Listerine, no shampoo, or soap, or lotion, or perfume, with alcohol in it. I started to feel a bit like a pawn. For someone like me this level of control just isn't necessary."
