517Danny Veltri -- 'Hell's Kitchen' Champ Arrested for Drunk Driving | TMZ.com
Danny Veltri -- the guy who won "Hell's Kitchen" in 2009 -- was arrested at a gas station in Florida this weekend after cops say he went too heavy on the booze before getting behind the wheel.
According to police, cops got a call about an intoxicated driver at a gas station around 4:15 AM Sunday morning ... and when they arrived at the scene, Veltri was "intoxicated and in control" of a 2005 Dodge Neon.
Cops say Veltri took a breathalyzer test ... and his blood alcohol level was a .12 ... way over the limit, .08.
Veltri -- who's now a GM at a place called the Gnarly Surf Bar & Grill near Daytona Beach -- was eventually hauled to a nearby station where he was booked and released on $500 bail.
We tried to reach Danny for comment -- but so far, no luck.

Paulina Gretzky Twitter Account: Sexy, Shut Down!
Paulina Gretzky's Twitter account was once a wonderful place. A utopia where one could ogle the smoldering hot 22-year-old daughter of hockey god Wayne Gretzky.
No longer, as it's been shut down and oodles of sexy pics lost forever.
An aspiring model-singer-actress, Paulina Gretzky has modeled since her teens and acted in a few minor film roles. She had a song on the Laguna Beach soundtrack.
But recently, and more significantly, the beautiful blonde had garnered attention for her Twitter account, where she regularly posted racy photos of herself. Such as:
Alas, despite amassing a huge following (we're guessing predominantly male) in recent months, Paulina's Twitter account has been deleted with zero explanation.
Canada (dot) com, the Montreal Gazette, and several non-Canadian sources hinted that The Great One might have played a role in shutting down The Great Buns.
Paulina tweeted "Having a nice sit down dinner with my dad about social media. haha," shortly before shuttering her account. We can see him being displeased.
Moreover, The Toronto Star speculates that the closing of Paulina's account could be connected to her father's bid to purchase the city's NHL franchise, Maple Leafs.
Fortunately, more than a few Paulina Gretzky pictures were yanked off the page and embedded into the online ether before the account's deletion. Click to enlarge!
