TMZ has learned Anneliese van der Pol has pleaded no contest to DUI after being arrested for driving with a whopping .19 blood-alcohol level.

The "That's So Raven" star was arrested on July 10, 2006 after colliding with a parked car. According to the official report, obtained by TMZ, the crash caused "a domino effect in which the parked vehicle hit two additional vehicles." The report continues: "After hitting the parked vehicle, Defendant then lost control of her vehicle, traveled across the roadway, and finally collided with another vehicle..."

The LAPD arrested van der Pol, whose blood-alcohol level was more than twice the legal limit of .08.

The Disney star pleaded no contest to two misdemeanors -- driving under the influence and driving with a blood alcohol level above .08. The Los Angeles City Attorney's office prosecuted the case.

Sentencing is scheduled for March 19. According to the documents obtained by TMZ, the court has offered Ms. van der Pol 36 months probation and a penalty of $2,844 in fines and assessments. She'll also have to attend
an alcohol education program.

This is probably old news to some, but it was new to me! how sad!!! It makes me feel bad to know that someone who is so clearly a role model for tweens has gone the Paris Hilton/Nicole Ritchie route.

I know that TMZ isn't the best source, but it is true. And very sad that such a talented actress did this. And HOLY, .19?!?!?! that's a lotta drinkin'!!!

Celebrities are going to have to return to having drivers or give up drinking. It seems like more people are being stupid about drinking and driving or their publicists aren't doing as good a job as years ago.
