It seems that hardly a day goes by that some celebrity is not in trouble with the law. And today is no exception.

Vivica Fox has been spared going to jail, despite being arrested for DUI. She was pulled over by the California Highway Patrol while driving her Cadillac Escalade in March of this year. She was charged with DUI when she failed several sobriety tests.

She pleaded no contest and she was sentenced to three years probation. The Superior Court judge also ordered her to enter an alcohol education program that will last for 90 days. In addition, she was charged a $390 fine. The charge of misdemeanor driving under the influence was dropped. Had the actress been charged with that, she could have been facing six months in jail.

After the incident, Fox told reporters "I won't ever make that mistake again." Hopefully those are the same sentiments of Kiefer Sutherland and Ray Liotta. Liotta also pleaded no contest to a reckless driving charge after running into two parked cars. He received three years probation and he was also ordered to enter a 12-hour alcohol education program. He was also ordered to pay a $1,328 fine.

Another celebrity who may be looking at jail time like Kiefer Sutherland is Daniel Baldwin. The troubled Baldwin failed to make a court appearance to report on his progress in drug rehab. Because of that, a warrant has been issued for his arrest.

Baldwin was found with cocaine and drug paraphernalia in his possession in April 2006. He entered a drug program to try to get the charges dropped. This February, Baldwin's attorney said he had completed a rehab program, but was continuing treatment. There are rumors that he is in Toronto on a movie set, but neither he nor his attorney could be reached to confirm that rumor.
