The 1980s dreamboat that all the girls loved, Rick Springfield, has been arrested for a reported DUI in Malibu, according to Spinner.

Springfield was pulled over for speeding on the Pacific Coast Highway Sunday night. Drunk driving was the cause for his fast and furious actions. He was driving with a blood alcohol content of 0.10. Springfield will be appearing in court on July 5.

It's a shame that the "Jessie's Girl" singer made a bad decision like this. He seems like a decent guy. After all, his 2009 album My Precious Little One was a record of kids' songs. Well, we can't all be winners.

All legal matters aside, why the hell is Rick standing at an angle like he's in a family portrait? This wasn't a photo shoot, Rick, so next time (if there is a next time) just face the camera like everyone else.
