Party-girl Natasha Lyonne indulged a bit too much on Tuesday and found herself in handcuffs with a DUI.

A Miami police officer witnessed Natasha speeding down a street then unsuccessfully trying to turn. She skidded off the road, taking out a sign and shrubs, then just backed up and left the mess.

When the policeman finally caught Ms. Lyonne, she had liquor on her breath and told him, "I"m a movie star. Can I talk to my entertainment lawyer?" She wasn't alone. Saving Private Ryan actor Adam Goldberg was in the passenger seat and told the police he tried to stop her but didn't know how. Natasha, who used to date troubled actor Edward Furlong, was booked on charges of DUI, careless driving and leaving the scene of an accident.
