SANTA BARBARA, Calif. – It’s another missed court date, another arrest warrant for Randy Quaid’s wife, Evi.

The 47-year-old failed to appear for a probation hearing Thursday in Santa Barbara and faces a new $100,000 arrest warrant, Deputy District Attorney Anthony Davis said.

At the hearing, Evi Quaid’s attorney, Robert Sanger, withdrew from the case. He declined comment Friday in an e-mail.

Randy and Evi Quaid are wanted in the coastal city in a felony vandalism case in which they’re accused of causing more than $5,000 damage to the guest house of a home they once owned.

Neither of the Quaids has shown up for any court hearings since a criminal case was filed in October, and they have already forfeited $1 million in bail. They remain in Canada, where they are seeking asylum from a group they have dubbed the “Hollywood star-whackers.”

Randy Quaid, 60, faces immigration hearings there to determine whether he should be allowed to remain in Canada and whether he should be granted refugee status. His next hearing is scheduled for Wednesday.

Evi Quaid, who is on probation for a misdemeanor defrauding an innkeeper case in Santa Barbara, has said she doesn’t want to leave her husband to deal with the California case.

Randy Quaid is the older brother of actor Dennis Quaid. He won a Golden Globe award — which he brought to court in one of his appearances in the innkeeper case — for his depiction of President Lyndon Johnson in a TV movie in the late 1980s.

‘Jersey Shore’ star indicted in assault

TOMS RIVER, N.J. – One of the stars of MTV’s “Jersey Shore” has been indicted in an assault that prosecutors say happened just off camera during the first season.

A grand jury in Ocean County, N.J., said there’s evidence that Ronald “Ronnie” Ortiz-Magro, 25, committed a crime.

The indictment was issued Thursday and made public Friday.

The grand jury said the reality TV star knocked a man out with a punch on Sept. 4, 2009, when the show was being filmed in Seaside Heights.

No lawyer is listed for Ortiz-Magro. MTV publicists did not immediately respond to requests for comment Saturday.

Editor leaving edgy Vogue

PARIS – Paris Vogue says its editor-in-chief, Carine Roitfeld, has decided to leave after a 10-year tenure in which the controversial French fashion monthly became “a worldwide reference and indispensable magazine.”

The magazine said on its website that Roitfeld’s years as the top editor were marked by “constant growth,” both in terms of circulation and advertising.

Xavier Romatet, the head of Conde Nast France, the French arm of the U.S. publishing house, said he “of course” regrets Roitfeld’s decision to leave “even if I understand it.” He didn’t elaborate.

The New York Times’ Web edition quoted the 56-year-old Roitfeld as telling them: “I think it’s time to do something different.”

Roitfeld was quoted as telling The Times that she informed Jonathan Newhouse, the chief executive of Conde Nast International, that she wished to pursue other projects. “I have no problem with Jonathan, and he understood me very well.”

It said she expects to complete issues through March, but that she was not sure what she would do after that.

Under Roitfeld, Paris Vogue has continued to be much edgier than its more commercial U.S. counterpart, with lots of nudes and sometimes overtly sex-seeped or disturbing spreads.

Roitfeld made waves with a recent shoot that featured supermodel Lara Stone in blackface, for example.

Another showed two models in identical bobbed wigs wearing only spike heels and carrying pricey leather handbags.
