1. Michelle Bridges pleads guilty for mid-range drink driving.
Celebrity trainer and TV personality Michelle Bridges pleaded guilty yesterday to mid-range drink driving after blowing 0.086 while driving in Sydney’s Bellevue Hill on January 26 with her five-year-old son in the car.
Waverley Local Court magistrate Allison Hawkins convicted Bridges, handed her a $750 fine and accepted the incident was humiliating for her.
Bridges’ licence was disqualified for three months and she will have to drive with an alcohol interlock for one year from April 26.
Agreed facts state Bridges hit her brakes suddenly and changed lanes when approaching a random breath test on New South Head Road about 11.30am on January 26.
She first told police she had used mouthwash five minutes earlier, but then conceded she had drunk alcohol the previous night.

The law judges everyone equally. Michelle Bridges is NOT a special person.
Leave her alone. For goodness sake. I know she's done something wrong and bad. Just dam lucky she didn't kill her son or anyone else on the road. She's very remorseful as one can tell. She should learn now that alcohol is a no no specially when you are working out all the time and not eating properly.
She could have instructed her lawyer not to apply for leniency on account of her being a "special person". It's a preposterous kind of reasoning and it deserves to be called out.
Not to mention, she has already cashed in considerably for being a “special person” and making money from peoples insecurities. She doesn’t do that out of the goodness of her heart, it’s a job.
