People

Andy Dick was arrested early Wednesday for investigation of drug use and sexual battery after the comedian allegedly pulled down a teenager's top, police said. The former co-star of the TV sitcom "NewsRadio" was released from a detention center after posting $5,000 bail. Police described Dick as "extremely intoxicated" and said they found marijuana and Xanax in his pockets. Dick, who has a reputation for crude behavior, reportedly exposed himself to audiences at least twice and was taken off the set of the show "Jimmy Kimmel Live" last year after he repeatedly touched guest Ivanka Trump without her permission.

After buying the 60,000-square-foot oceanfront home called Maison de L'Amitie for about $41 million in 2004, Trump assigned renovations to "Apprentice" winner Kendra Todd, who dressed it up with marble and 24-karat-gold fixtures.
