LANGE PLEADS NOT GUILTY TO DUI

Outrageous U.S. comedian ARTIE LANGE has pleaded not guilty to driving under the influence following a car crash in New Jersey.
The Howard Stern Show regular drove his Nissan Sentra into the back of a Pontiac last week (10Jul09) and was booked for a DUI.
He was ordered to take an alcohol screening test, which his lawyer later insisted he passed. However, police believed he was still drunk while driving and requested a urine sample.
According to TMZ.com, the test results are not known yet.
Lange denied the charge on Tuesday (14Jul09). He is due back in court on 26 August (09).
It's the latest controversy for the heavyweight funnyman - last month (Jun09) he was banned from all HBO Sports TV shows after a foul-mouthed tirade on the premiere of chat show Joe Buck Live.
