Extreme Makeover's Ty Pennington Swells Ranks of Stars with DUIs

TV host apologizes for his mistake.

Ty Pennington has joined the ranks of celebrities slapped with DUI charges. The host of ABC's Extreme Makeover: Home Edition was nabbed by police on Friday night while driving under the influence of alcohol. The 42-year-old Pennington was caught in the Westside neighborhood of Los Angeles, just past midnight on Saturday morning. The cops promptly arrested the high-energy host and carted him off to jail. A few hours later, Pennington was out on $5,000 bail. His court date for the misdemeanor offense is slated for June 4.

Pennington's proven himself to be a pro at public apologies. He's already churned out the obligatory "I'm sorry" to, well, basically everyone. He admitted he made a mistake, called it a wake-up call and expressed his thankfulness that no one was hurt. He went on, I also want to apologize to my fans, ABC Television and my design team for my lapse in judgment and the embarrassment I have caused."

Pennington transitioned to Extreme Makeover from TLC's Trading Spaces and is also a spokesman for Sears.
