The latest celebrity to make one wonder, "Why not just take a cab?" is Chris Pine. The Star Trek actor was arrested March 1 on suspicion of driving drunk in New Zealand, sources tell the Hollywood Reporter. All authorities will say is that a 33-year-old American man was stopped. Pine had reportedly just left a wrap party for Z for Zachariah, a science fiction flick that was filming on location. The manager of the pub where the party was held says designated drivers were available. (More Chris Pine stories.)
