hris Pine has pleaded guilty to drink driving. The ‘Star Trek’ actor was fined $93 and had his driver’s license suspended for six months during a court hearing at the Ashburton district court in New CZealand today. Chris’ lawyer, Marilyn Gilchrist, had applied for the star to be discharged without conviction after claiming he had already suffered emotionally and professionally because of the world- wide negative coverage of his crime. The judge, Joanna Maze, said she accepted Chris was “entirely re- morseful” of his actions as he had pleaded guilty to the charge at the earliest opportunity and had com- plied with the police. The 33-year-old star was stopped by officers in a “routine operation” in Methven, Canterbury, New Zealand, on March 1 and was arrested after tests revealed his blood-alcohol level was 0.11 per cent, which is over New Zealand’s legal limit of 0.08 per cent. Chris was in the country filming ‘Z for Zachariah’ and had been out celebrating the end of the shoot, the night before he was arrested. Blue Pub Methven manager Casey Crawford said around 70 cast and crew members, and local volunteers had hired the nightspot on February 28, with the party ending around 3am on March 1, the morning the ac- tor was arrested. Mr Crawford said previously: “Chris Pine arrived here and had his supermodel girlfriend [Iris Bjork Johannesdottir] with him.” He added: “You can see the photos behind the bar with our staff and he looked fine, I only ever saw him drinking tap beer and his partner she was just drinking sav wine.”

But Drake has made it clear that if things are going to get serious with them, he doesn’t want her speaking with Chris. “They are never going to get along properly.” Despite their turbulent past, Rihanna, 26, has never been able to stop complete contact with Chris, who left her bloodied and bruised when he physically assaulted her during an altercation in 2009. Earlier this year, the former lovers, who dated on-and-off for three years, began texting each other more regularly. However, Rihanna won’t be seeing Chris for a little while as he is currently behind bars after he allegedly violated a judge’s order by getting kicked out of the rehab facility in Malibu last week. The ‘Fine China’ hitmaker was chucked out of the facility for allegedly breaking “internal rules” and, although it is not known what he done, it is not believed to be linked to violence or drugs. Chris had been ordered to spend time in rehab for anger issues after an al- leged assault in Washington DC in October, which stemmed from his attack on Rihanna five years ago.
