‘2 Fast 2 Furious’ Star’s Husband Arrested For Hit-And-Run in Florida
‘2 Fast 2 Furious’
Devon Aoki’s Husband Busted For Alleged Hit-And-Run
Published
“2 Fast 2 Furious” star Devon Aoki is dealing with a major car issue … but it has nothing directly to do with her or her famous movie.
Here’s the deal … Aoki’s husband, James Bailey, was driving in a Audi SQ7 SUV in Coral Gables, Florida on Monday when he plowed into a man riding a stand-up scooter, according to an arrest report obtained by TMZ.
The report says the scooter rider was in a crosswalk when he was struck, and Bailey drove away, heading back to his home. WPLG Local 10 obtained a video that shows the aftermath of the hit-and-run, with the victim pleading with the driver to move the Audi off his foot before falling to the ground in pain.
Police say the victim suffered two foot fractures and a “large contusion to his left calf,” while his girlfriend — also on scene –contacted police and gave a description of Bailey’s vehicle. Amed with the description … cops began tracking Bailey with the help of license plate readers and police cameras. Officers responded to the vehicle’s registered address — a reported $9.1 million mansion Bailey shares with Aoki, according to the arrest report.
Police said Aoki was home at the time and spoke with investigators, telling them she didn’t know the whereabouts of the Audi. As officers were about to leave, Bailey drove up in the SUV and ran inside his home, locking himself inside, cops said.
Minutes later, Bailey came outside and surrendered before being booked into the Miami-Dade jail for hit-and-run, causing serious bodily injury, and resisting without violence. He was released Tuesday.
We’ve reached out to Bailey and Aoki … so far, no word back.
Natalee Holloway’s Killer
Tries to End His Life in His Prison Cell
Published
Joran van der Sloot — the man who confessed to killing Natalee Holloway after her 2005 disappearance — reportedly tried to commit suicide in prison Saturday.
According to Peruvian news outlet La Republica … Joran — who is incarcerated at the maximum security Challapalca Prison — was found hanging from a strip of blanket in his cell while guards were distributing breakfast.
The 38-year-old Dutch national was reportedly taken to the infirmary, where he was nursed back to stable condition.
According to the outlet, officials said the manner in which guards found Joran “suggested a possible suicide attempt.”
Joran is serving a 28-year sentence in Peru for the murder of 21-year-old Stephany Flores in 2010. While Joran finally admitted in 2023 to killing Natalee as well, he’s never been charged with her murder … because the crime was committed in Aruba, where the statute of limitations has passed.
In the U.S., Joran was charged with attempting to sell information to Natalee’s family about where her remains are … which basically equated to extortion.
He’s set to do a 20-year bid in the U.S. once he’s done his time in Peru.

Jane’s Addiction
Not Addicted to Playing Together Anymore …
Announce Breakup
Published
Jane’s Addiction is through … with the band announcing they’re done playing together after an onstage argument turned physical last year.
A statement was posted to the band’s Instagram page Wednesday … which seeks to further explain the immediate aftermath of the brawl between Perry Farrell and Dave Navarro in September 2024.
The band acknowledges members made “inaccurate statements” about Farrell’s mental health at the time and apologizes to him … before revealing the band recently reconvened in order to resolve their differences.
Ultimately, Jane’s Addiction has decided to split so individual members of the group can focus on their solo music careers … adding the group will “forever live” in their hearts.
The message ends with the group thanking their fans … calling them the group’s “lifeblood.”
Jane’s Addiction formed in 1985 … and, the group has performed on and off together over the last four decades — first splitting in 1991. The group played together consistently from 2008 until last year.

During a show in Boston, Perry shoved and then punched Navarro — which ended the show prematurely and ultimately led to their tour’s cancellation. Farrell publicly apologized to the band in the aftermath of the incident.
The breakup writing’s been on the wall for months … because Dave sued Perry for assault and battery earlier this year — while Perry responded by suing Dave and the other two members — Stephen Perkins and Eric Avery — for allegedly bullying him for years.
Waiting for your permission to load the Instagram Media.
It’s unclear if the lawsuits will continue to move forward … because on the same day Jane’s Addiction announced the split, Farrell issued another apology for the incident.
With this group, we’ll never say never … but, don’t expect them to play together for a while.
