KCRW Host Chris Douridas Arrested
Jan. 17, 2006
By Paul Heine



Trendsetting KCRW Santa Monica host Chris Douridas was arrested more than a week ago on suspicion of drugging a 14-year-old girl and attempting to kidnap her, according to several published reports. Douridas, the musical tastemaker behind the soundtracks to a As Good As It Gets, American Beauty, Shrek 2, Grosse Pointe Blank and the Austin Powers series, was arrested shortly after midnight January 6 outside a Santa Monica nightclub after witnesses reported seeing him put something into the girlâ??s drink and carrying her outside the bar.

The girl became ill, was treated at a hospital and released. Douridas was released after posting $1 million in bail.

According to the Los Angeles Times, the L.A. district attorney is awaiting toxicology test results before deciding whether to press charges.

Since relinquishing his daily Morning Becomes Eclectic show on KCRW, Douridasâ?? musical tentacles have stretched far and wide. In addition to culling TV and movie soundtracks, he hosted a season of Sessions At West 54th Street for PBS. He also created the iTunes Originals performances series and is curator for the iTunes Essentials downloadable playlist series.

KCRW says he will continue as host of New Ground, a weekly 2-hour new music show for the non-commercial triple A outlet. â??We believe in Chris as a person, and we think he has strong character,â? the L.A. Times quoted KCRW assistant GM Jennifer Ferro as saying. â??And we also think people are innocent until proven guilty.â?

Holy shit.

I really expected that he was picked up on possession or something when I read the post title. That's a bit shocking.

he must be friends with johnny riggs.

Shocking for sure. How long has it been since he left Morning Becomes Eclectic?

What kind of clubs do you find 14 your old girls in? Was the guy buddies with Gary Glitter?

The ones where You Be Betty goes to see shows.

I was thinking Roman Polanski.

I was really hoping this would be about Nick Harcourt. I find him very annoying.

Mohammed deflowered a nine year old. And one-third of the globe sings his praises.

Maybe Chris Douridas should just move to Bahrain, like Michael Jackson did?

don't 14 yr olds go to the 930?

Perhaps I am naive, I dont think of 930 as a "nightclub". I do make sure to hit on girls with big X's on the backs of both hands though. They dig my geriatric ways.

It says "Nightclub 9:30" right there on the home page.

Re-reading the comments it seems that most boardies think it is OK to drug a girl and kidnap her, as long as she is of legal age.

Isn't that the only reason guys buy women drinks at nightclubs?

Have you ever bought a drink at a nightclub, let alone for a lady?

You have a point there. But I'm not most guys.

The world is full of guys Jag. You deserve a man.

Wow, never figured this board would be the "law and order police are always right guilty until proven innocent" type place.

Anyone think he might be innocent? That there might be a mix up or some really good explanation?
